39Previously on Raven Queen Gone Forever After, everyone found out that Apple's roommate Raven is dead, and there is no way they can save her. Now, all of Raven's and Apple's friends learned each other secrets that they were hiding from each other. Now, all of the royals and rebels finally stop fighting and got along with each other. Today is the day of Raven's funeral, and everyone from Ever After attended it. Let's see what fates have in store for them.
Narrator's POV:
It was the first day of winter, and everyone dressed in their mourning clothes. Briar, Maddie, Cupid, Cerise, Kitty, Blondie, Cedar, Holly, Poppy, Darling, Ginger, Melody, Rosabella, Ashlynn, Faybelle, Duchess, Bunny, Lizzie, Lilly, Helga, Sparrow, Hopper, Hunter, Alistar, Daring, Chase, Humphery, Tiny, Gus, Son of Hero of Haarlem, Giles Grimm, Baba Yaga, Snow White, King and Queen Charming, Madam Maid Marian, Rumplestiltskin, Mr. Badworf, The Evil Step-Librarians, Gingerbreadman, The Mad Hatter, The Good King, The Queen of Hearts, The White Rabbit, The Cheshire Cat, Jack B. Nimble, Little Red Riding Hood, the E.A.H students, staff, and the people of Ever After was sitting in their seats waiting for Headmaster Grimm's, Apple's, and Dexter's speech for for Raven Queen. The Evil Queen's mirror was moved to the side of the stage with three dwarfs surrounding it so they can make sure that the mirror doesn't break.
Raven was lying gown in a glass coffin that made by the seven dwarfs that helped Snow White from the Evil Queen. The coffin was made out of glass and gold. The inside was cover with purple velvet fabric.
This funeral has got to be the saddest thing I have ever seen.
Maddie: I know right. I am morose that my BFFA is gone forever after.
Maddie, can you please be quiet, and let me narrate?
Maddie: Okay, fine.
That's better, now where were we? Oh yes, Headmaster Grimm is about to give his speech.
Headmaster Grimm's POV:
Headmaster Grimm: People of Ever After. We are gathered here today because one of the deaths of one of our students Raven Queen.
She wanted to change her destiny. But I forbid her because if she changes her story, everyone from that story will disappear forever after. When I told everyone that they must follow their story, or else they'll disappear, I lied. The reason I did this is that I wanted everyone to follow their story tradition. Now, I must do something to make up for the lies that I told everyone. So from now on, everyone can choose their destiny, and I like my brother Giles to help me create a new era of fairytales.
Giles Grimm: I'll be happy to assist you in brother.
Headmaster Grimm: If Miss Queen is listening. I have fulfilled her wish, and I hoped that she is happy.
Everyone clapped for Headmaster Grimm. He left the stage, and it was time for Apple to say her speech.
Apple's POV:
Apple: People of Ever After, I wanted to tell you something. The Royals and I were the cause of Raven's death. I was so busy trying to make Raven sign her destiny, which I didn't realize how she felt. She was right; I was selfish. The Royals and I were being so mean to Raven, which puts her to the point of her death. I should've been nicer to her, and let her change her destiny. That way, she can still be alive, and we can become great friends. She was a better royal than any of us and knows the real meaning of it. Now, I am going to sing a song for her. You guys can sing with me if you want to.
If I Die Young by The Band Perry:
Apple: If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in a river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
Uh oh, uh oh
Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh,
And life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby
The sharp knife of a short life, oh well
I've had just enough time
If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
The sharp knife of a short life, oh well
I've had just enough time
And I'll be wearing white, when I come into your kingdom
I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger,
I've never known the lovin' of a man
But it sure felt nice when he was holdin' my hand,
There's a boy here in town, says he'll love me forever,
Who would have thought forever could be severed by...
...the sharp knife of a short life, oh well?
I've had just enough time
So put on your best, boys, and I'll wear my pearls
What I never did is done
A penny for my thoughts, oh, no, I'll sell 'em for a dollar
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin'
Funny when you're dead how people start listenin'
Everyone: If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
Uh oh (uh, oh)
The ballad of a dove (uh, oh)
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket
Save 'em for a time when you're really gonna need 'em, oh
The sharp knife of a short life, oh well
I've had just enough time
Apple: So put on your best, boys, and I'll wear my pearls.
Apple: Now I am going to put my crown into Raven's coffin. Here's to a true royal.
Apple placed her crown in Raven's coffin, and now it is Dexter turn to speak.
Dexter's POV:
Dexter thinking to himself: Okay Dexter, just remember what you are going to say. Say what's in my head, and in my heart.
Dexter: People of Ever After, I wanted to say a few words. I am going to tell you how I fell in love with Raven, and what I think about her.
Headmaster Grimm, Snow White, Giles Grimm, The Good King, King Charming, Queen Charming, and The Evil Queen have their mouth wide open.
I fell in love with her when I was in Nursery Rhyme Elementary School. She doesn't have any friends because her mother was evil. During lunch, I saw that she was sitting alone, so I decided to cheer her up by doing something nice to her. However, my older brother Daring gets mad at me whenever I am close to her.
Everyone looked at Daring.
Daring: Hehe, sorry.
Dexter: After when I was older, I stop seeing her, since I couldn't find her whenever I'm at Book End. When I started my first day at E.A.H., I was happy to see Raven again. However, I usually get nervous whenever I'm near her.
I think that Raven is a beautiful, smart, caring, thoughtful, helpful, hardworking, loyal, friendly, brave, and kindest girl I know. I am sorrowful that she is gone, but she is in a better place, and she might be happy. Someday, we might see her again. Maybe she'll be reborn. If she did, I think everyone might be happy. And I'll have my happily ever after with her.
Now let's put our gifts in Raven's coffin. I will go last, and remember, you can come here anytime to place something in her coffin.
Narrator's POV: Everyone got up from their seats and put their gifts into Raven's coffin. The princesses and Daring put their crowns into her coffin which glimmer in the sunlight. Maddie placed one of her favorite hats, Lizzie placed a deck of ruby cards, Cerise placed one of her red cloaks, Bunny set a golden pocket watch, and Cedar placed a wooden carving of Raven, and Holly and Poppy placed a ruby red, and sapphire blue hairbrush in the coffin. Other people put flowers, gemstones, coins, and raven's feathers into the coffin. Dexter was the last to place his gift. He kissed Raven on the lips one last time. Which she still didn't wake up. He placed a purple rose and a letter into the coffin.
Dexter's Letter:
Dear Raven,
I'm devasted that you died. Why didn't you tell me about this? We could've found another way to stop this and have our happily ever after together. I love you Rae, and I know that you loved me too. I'll take your advice and start dating Cupid to get my mind off of you. However, I doubt that will work. After your death, everything you wanted came true. Everyone is now free to choose their destinies. I wished that you were here to see this. After you told everyone their secrets, the Royals and the Rebels are getting along, and new relationships are born. I know you're still out there, and You might be reborn, who knows if you are still alive or reborn. I'll be jubilant and live happily ever after. I'll promise that I'll visit you often. And every time I do, I'll place a purple rose in your coffin. Love you, Rae.
Love, Dexter
When Dexter was done, everyone went back home. Just before he left, he saw a purple light coming out of Raven's coffin, and it flew to the heaven. Dexter rubs his eyes and thought that he was imagined things. He left Raven's coffin promising to visit her often. And every time he visited her, he will always place a purple rose in her coffin.
The End is just the beginning.
Here lies Raven Ebony Queen. Daughter of The Evil Queen and The Good King.

Hey everyone, WinxStarDracoFire here, this is the last chapter of Raven Queen Gone Forever After. But don't worry, I'll write the sequel to this story called, A New Star is Born. A Disney Star Darlings, and Ever After High Crossover. At first, I thought it in a Sofia the First, but I don't think that was the best idea. I want you to figure out who is Raven's reincarnation. Also, I believe that it might be interesting to see an Ever After High Crossover with Monster High, Winx Club, Sofia the First, My Little Pony, and Disney Descendants. I like thank you all for reading this story, and I hope you like the song If I Die Young by The Band Perry. Well, see you soon.
