Lottieโs Disney Princess clock twinkled a three-note melody from across the room. Ellie rubbed her eyes frantically and sat up, having never gone to sleep in the first place. Pulling on her boots and a jacket over her pyjamas, she crept to the door and hesitated to listen to Lottieโs deep breathing. Definitely asleep. Ellie bit her finger nails as she left the room, feelings of guilt and excitement making her wonder why she stopped doing this in the first place.
The halls of Rosewood were completely dead. Everything seemed still and deserted, like how youโd imagine a post-apocalyptic world to behave. Ellie found the shuffling of her jacket and gentle clicks of her laces against her boots loud enough to wake the whole of England, and her shadow seemed to follow her in the light of the dimly lit walls. With a sly glance behind her and a burst of adrenaline, she slid into the door of the school kitchens.
The lights buzzed and flickered on, casting a yellow font over the rustic rose-gold interior. Ellie sighed and ran her fingers along the countertops as she sauntered towards the back left corner of the huge kitchen. She nudged one of the cupboard doors open and reached in to move the back board aside, revealing a small space stored with sweets and chocolate. She then felt around, biting her tongue, before pulling something out. The door behind her suddenly clicked shut. She jumped and whipped around, dropping the bag and spilling M&Ms all over the floor.
The sound of them echoed off of the kitchen walls, and Ellie could feel her heart in her chest. She scrutinised the supposedly empty room before turning her attention back to the spilled chocolates. โOh, Iโm such a...โ she rolled her eyes as she bent down to pick them up. After what felt like an hour of crawling around on her hands and knees, looking under ovens and reaching into small gaps, she was cursing and red in the face. โThatโs all of them, surely,โ she whispered. Better double check, just in case... Lottieโs voice rang out in her head. Ellie tugged on a piece of hair guiltily. โUgh. Fine.โ But she couldnโt help contain a small smile imagining how hilarious Lottie would find this when she told her about it in the morning. Her cheeks would go red and sheโd wipe away a tear. You crawled around the kitchen on your hands and knees picking up each individual M&M at three in the morning? Imagine if someone walked in on that! Ellie chuckled to herself as she turned the corner. โLooking for me?โ
Ellie let out a yelp of fear and bumped her head. M&Mโs scattered all over the floor again, but Ellie didnโt notice. She stared in horror at the thing that stood before her. Grass green, round as the sun, thigh high boots and long, full eyelashes. They blinked in concern. โEleanor? What is it? Do I have lipstick on my face?โ She rubbed at her cheek frantically. Ellie stuttered. โUh- ummm...โ she slowly stood up, clutching the countertops in case she fainted. โMs Green? Youโre real? Am I dreaming?โ She managed. Ms Green put her hands on her hips and pouted. โโAre you real?โ Of course Iโm real, Eleanor. How could you think Iโm not real, do you not remember when we played spin the bottle at the Maravish Spoon Invention Celebration?โ Ellie blinked, as if trying to see through fog. She nodded slowly and bit her lip, suddenly feeling a little hurt that Ms Green hadnโt made the effort to visit her sooner. The Spoon Celebration was years ago. She shook her head and smiled. โI missed you.โ โI missed you too, Sugar. Come and give me a hug.โ Ellie wrapped her arms around Ms Green and breathed in the sweet, chocolaty scent, and relaxed.
The two of them sat on the countertops. โSo what have you been up to? How did you get into this fancy school?โ Ms Green asked, crossing her legs. โWell, Iโm going to be taking on the maravish throne in a few years, so I asked dad if I could come here, undercover, to hopefully get one last shot at a normal life,โ she looked away, โat least, before I have to โact like a queenโ.โ Ms Green looked empathetic and put her hand on Ellieโs knee. Ellie looked up at her, blushing. โYouโll be the sweetest queen Maradova has ever seen. Has life been normal here?โ Ellie grinned. โNot exactly, but Iโve made friends. Thereโs Binah, who gives me maths puzzles and gives the best advice, and Raphael whoโs really funny, and Lola and Mickey - theyโre twins - theyโre always supplying everyone with sweets. And then Lottie Pumpkin, sheโs my roommate,โ Ellie grinned even more and stared at the pots and pans opposite her. โIโve never had someone care about me like she does.โ She said, a little distant. โPumpkin? Sounds... savoury.โ Ms Green said, gritting her teeth. She breathed in deeply. โRemember that time we hid your dadโs left socks around the castle, and your grandmother yelled at you, and then I comforted you?โ Ms Green briefly brushed her hand against Ellieโs cheek. โThat was fun.โ She whispered. Ellie nodded and leant into her hand. โAnd when we found that secret passage in the castle that led from the kitchen to the observatory?โ Ms Green said quietly. Ellie nodded again, entranced in her eyes. โThat reminds me of when Lottie and I found secret tunnels under the school, at the river.โ Ellie whispered. Ms Green froze, her pupils shrinking. โTunnels?โ Ellie blinked, her vision clearing. โYeah, we got super close after that and she can be annoying sometimes and weโre complete opposites but sheโs my best friend, I would do anything for he- hey, ouch!โ Ms Green gripped Ellieโs wrist in her fist. โI am the only one for you, Eleanor. No one could ever be as chocolaty and sweet, as round and luscious, as superior to all M&Mโs as me. ร รm Thรซ รรฑลลท รลฤ.โ
Ellie pulled her arm away, scowling. โGet off of me!โ She yelled. Ms Greenโs eyeโs had turned red, and she threw Ellie on the ground. Raising her gloved hands, she began to levitate off the counter, creating a wind that made the pots and pans clang together. โMinions; aid me with purging my target: Lottie Pumpkin, and detain my lady, Eleanor Wolfson.โ Ellie watched as the M&Mโs she had spilled earlier started to shake, and go through the stages of mitosis. Soon, Ellie was fighting off an army of millions of tiny M&Ms. Ms Green laughed maliciously as she watched Ellie fight them off, sweating.
As if her luck couldnโt get any worse, Ellie tripped on the empty bag that contained the M&Ms in and was covered by the swarm of the Arm&my. Ms Green towered over her victoriously. โYouโll never see your little friend again.โ โHELP!โ She screamed. Suddenly, the door was kicked down, smoke filling the room ominously. Silence fell across the Arm&my, and Ellie gasped. โDanny Devito?โ โWhat? Ellie, no.โ She moved her hair out of her face. โOh, Jamie. And... Kermit.โ ๏ฟผ โHi ho, princess. Weโve come to save you.โ โWe were on our way to kill the Duolingo Owl in exchange for bitcoins.โ โOh, okay. Wait, you wh-โ โENOUGH!โ Ms Green erupted. She began to levitate higher, and Ellie was sure more M&Ms were about to mitosis. Jamie shot forward and brought his stapler down straight onto Ms Greenโs head. She yelled in agony and turned to face him. Meanwhile, Kermit and Ellie yeeted and blow torched as much of the arm&my as they could. The mayhem lasted fifteen minutes before a screeching hoot brought the mayhem to a stand still. Kermit sniffed the air. โHeโs close.โ
Everyone turned to the window expectantly. The โtick tocksโ from the clock on the oven filled the room. Suddenly, Ms Green screamed. Jamie had delivered the fatal blow; a stapler to the โMโ on Ms Greenโs stomach. The rest of the arm&my disappeared in a puff of green smoke, and Ms Green chortled weakly. โYouโll never defeat Him. He knows over 22 languages and offers 90 different language courses in 2019.โ Ellie lifted her blowtorch coldly. โShut up.โ And fired it up.
From outside, a blood curdling scream shook the window panes, and made the pots and pans clatter. Jamie frowned. โWas that Lola?โ
