And now for the final round!" Blondie cheered.

"Whoever wins will earn a gift from Daring, but who Daring chooses is entirely up to him," Dexter added.

"Here he is!" Darling entered the Great Hall with him, mirror in hand.

"The task is to design the perfect mirror for me!" Daring hailed. "Raven Queen," he said as Raven walked in, "will conjure it up after you design it on paper, label it and colour it. You have to tell her exactly what you want. You've got one and a half hours!"

"Three!" Darling called.

"Two!" Dexter grinned.

"One!" Blondie yelled.

Both designed amazing mirrors, but only one was liked by Daring.

Rosabella's was basing it on Daring being the Beast and one half handsome, one half Beastly. Lizzie frowned at it. Did Rosabella want to hit a nerve?

Sure enough, Daring hated it. He said, "I … why are all your gifts about you and your fairytale?"

But Daring loved Lizzie's, and she won.

An hour later, Daring gave Lizzie a beautiful ruby and topaz ring, something perfect for her.

"I love it, Daring," Lizzie smiled.

For the final Selection, the girls were ordered to go to a place that meant a lot to them. Lizzie went to the Wonderland Grove and Rosabella went to her dorm room. The cameras focused on them so Daring knew where both of them were. The girls could see each other's place on MirrorPads.

They wore amazing gowns Ashlynn designed for them and Lizzie wore the ring Daring gave her. Her long, luscious red and black ringlets she had arranged in a beautiful heart fishtail plait, and long, dangling, delicate gold hearts earring glimmered from her ears.

She could see that Rosabella had her brown and peach locks in a roll, and her ears were adorned with dangling gold edged peach rose studs.

Lizzie stood up as Daring walked into the Wonderland Grove, holding her mirror and wearing a new regal suit. Her breath caught in her throat.

It seemed like years as Daring walked towards her. Finally he stopped in front of her, wrapping his arms around her waist. "Lizzie Hearts, will you be my queen?"

Everything else disappeared for them as the world waited for Lizzie's reply. "Yes."

Nothing else existed as Daring and Lizzie kissed.

The end … is just the beginning
