I'm back with a short little story when the students of Ever After High find out about "ship names" and their reaction to the person their paired up with! NOTE: Just because I pair them up together, doesn't mean they're a couple. (Before Thronecoming)

Dexven

Dexter and Raven.

Raven Queen and Dexter Charming were paired up for a project. The project was a presentation about what made a good made very awkward, because Raven and Dexter had not been so close to each other since True Hearts Day.

The partners were in the library, and there were the only ones there, excluding the Evil Step-Librarians, of course.

"Um, Dex. So, how about you start at that side, and I'll start here.", Raven said nervously.

"Uh, yeah, sure Raven, whatever you want that's fine by me...heh." Dexter stammered.

Yup. It was definitely awkward.

Dexter began to search the Romance section of the library. Romance made people good partners. So he would look for a couple who made their relationship work. Dexter skimmed the shelves, looking for a book that would catch his eye.

Raven thought good partners were friends. "I want a book about two best friends...despite their differences, they're still friends. That's good partners." Raven murmured to herself as she began to look for a friendship book.

Dexter looked on the second shelf, until he found a glowing book. It caught his attention immediately, and he grabbed it and ran to the table.

"Raven! Raven!" he called, "I think I found the book we need!" Raven came running as fast as her black heels could take her. "What! Where?"

"QUIET IN THE LIBRARY!" one of the Evil Step-Librarians told the two. Dexter inched closer to Raven and pointed down at the glowing book on the table.

"I found it in the romance section. I'm pretty sure this will help us. It's glowing. It has to be a sign." he whispered.

Raven looked up at Dex. "Okay."

Then the air suddenly got colder. "What the…" Raven gasped. The book began to glow brighter and brighter until it became blinding.

"What's happening?!" on of the librarians screamed. "Raven Queen, you better not be using dark magic!"

"It's not me m'am!" Raven shouted back. The wind got so powerful that books began to fly off shelves. The chairs began to glide across the floor. The computers began to shake. A thick dictionary came flying at Raven's head. Books began to fly in a twisted around them.

"Raven, watch OUT!" Dexter screamed. He tackled Raven and shielded her. The wind immediately stopped. The books went back to their spots, chairs back at their tables, computers perfectly still.

Dexter got off of Raven. "Thanks, Dex." Raven murmured. "I'm gonna have to put that book ba-" she started, but Dex wasn't listening.

He was staring at the book. Raven, curious, leaned over his shoulder to see what was so amazing. Her eyes widened when she saw what he saw.

The book was opened to a page in the middle. There was one word and a picture of two people. A boy and a girl. A Royal and a Rebel. Namely, Dexter and Raven.

Dexven

Raven wore a crown made of dark lilacs. She wore a long sleeved purple dress that swept the floor. Her sleeves were made of lace. Dexter wore a button-up shirt, a golden crown with a bright, blue sapphire in the middle and a blue cardigan over them. He wore his trademark grey jeans. They were holding hands and looking at each other dreamily.

"Um. What is Dexven?" Dexter asked.

As soon as he asked, there was a whispered word in the air.

"Ship name."

"Raven, go search up the words "ship name"." Dexter said as calmly as he could. He sat down in a chair and tried to take it all in.

Dexven. Raven and him were in a picture, looking lovingly at each other. It could happen. But Raven seemed to like Daring better. Every girl liked Daring better. That was just the way it went.

"Found it!" Raven exclaimed, as the librarians shushed her.

"It's a term used to put two characters together. It is both the characters' names put together. It usually refers to a romantic relationship, but it can apply to platonic relationships too." Raven said.

"So "Dexven" is Dexter and Raven?" Dexter asked. Raven nodded. "And by the looks, of it, this relationship seems pretty romantic to me." Raven sighed. "I think we're going to have to go see Giles Grimm."

"Giles who?" Dexter, asked. Raven shook her head. "You'll see."

Dexter was kind of happy to see some sort of message that Raven and him belonged with each other. But she didn't look so happy.

"How do you feel Raven?" he asked softly.

"I don't know. I just don't know." she replied back.

Dexter turned away. His felt broken. Raven didn't like him back. Dexter guessed that was just the way it went.

Ah, poor Dex. Next chapter: Dexpid! I hoped you liked it.
