Holly was euphoric. The students from hero class were teaming up with princesses to do a big research Project. The teacher had picked the teams and she just couldnât wait to see who was going to be her hero until the end of the semester.
She had seen her name on the list in mirror net next to: D. Charming.
But that didnât tell her much. <<It could be either Daring or Dexter>> she thought as she walked to the classroom where she was supposed to meet her partner. And big was her surprise when she saw herself standing in front of one of the shortest girls in school. Darling Charming.
Holly shook her head in disbelief before asking her âWhere are your brothers?â
Darling raised an eyebrow âI donât know. Daring had to work with Lizzy and they went to the dark forest to practice using his dragon. And Dexter got paired up with AppleâŚbut for what I saw I think heâs the one who is going to need to be rescued from her⌠so anywayâŚfor our project, I was thinking that we couldâŚâ
âSo you meanâŚâ she looked at the short and yet strong looking girl, still in denial.
âThat you and I are going to be together for this project, yesâŚâ Darling said enthusiastic. However, she couldnât ignore the look of disappointment on Hollyâs face âwhat is it?â
âOh well, donât take it personal, Darling, but I was hoping to be rescue byâŚone of the guysâ says and she bit the inside of her mouth to stop herself from mentioning that it was a bit odd to see her taking the hero class. Holly not only didnât want to admit that she felt uneasy about it but she also thought that Darling knew enough about being a hero already. At least thatâs what she heard at wonderlandâs party.
Darling, however, took it very personal âwhat?â she asked bluntly âdonât think I can rescue you?â
Holly bit her bottom lip and tried to apologize.
âWellâŚthatâs notâŚwhatâŚâ- She mumbled but Darling pressed her knee against the back of her leg, making Rapunzelâs heir lose her balance. Right away she caught her and, to Hollyâs surprise, carried her princess style without any troubles.
Holly looked into Darlings eyes as she gave her an egocentric smirk. She felt her heart skip a beat and her cheeks going warm as she tried to understand what Darling Charming was saying to her. Nonetheless she was sure that Miss Charming was not speaking in another language, the only thing that Holly could conclude out of whatever she said was that it was going to be a long semester.
zzazu told me about this ship and I just had to.Â
