Rumpelstiltskin Kicked Out of Fairy Tale Reform School!

by Coco Collette

In a remarkable twist of events, Happily Ever After Scrolls has learned that Rumpelstiltskin has been banished from Fairy Tale Reform School after he was tricked into breaking the deal that gave him control of the school in the first place.

“I am pleased to announce Headmistress Flora is once again in control of the school she founded, and Rumpelstiltskin is on the run,” said Princess Ella in a statement she made with her former wicked stepmother and stepsisters by her side.

“I thought giving Mr. Stiltskin the reins to FTRS was a way to give FTRS greater protection, but I was wrong,” Flora said. “I should have discussed it with the royal court and my staff, who would have told me I was making a grave mistake. Thankfully, justice has prevailed and Fairy Tale Reform School is safe once more.”

“We’re so thankful to have our mother back!” said Azalea and Dahlia. “And we’re thankful to the Fairy Tale Reform School students who risked their lives to help get her job back.”

While Flora refused to comment on details, sources say a band of students led by Prince Jaxon; the Evil Queen’s sister, Jocelyn; and Gillian Cobbler, the shoemaker’s daughter, set off to complete a quest that would end Rumpelstiltskin’s reign. They apparently succeeded.

“All students who were sentenced to Fairy Tale Reform School on their first or second offense under Rumpelstiltskin will be released immediately,” said school spokesmirror Miri. “However, those who wish to stay and work on their transformations from wicked to good are more than welcome.”

The Dwarf Police Squad and Chief Pete have their work cut out for them. Not only will they be hunting down Rumpelstiltskin for his illegal dealings with FTRS, but they will also be searching for the students who chose to follow Mr. Stiltskin. “His Stiltskin Squad is very loyal to him,” explained Pete. “We’re determined to help these students see the error of their ways and to bring them back home.” One of those students is Gillian’s younger sister Anna.

Newly reinstated Headmistress Flora is personally overseeing those efforts. “I believe in our school mission wholeheartedly and want to see every citizen of Enchantasia reach their full potential—including Rumpelstiltskin. If I can be reformed, anyone can. I won’t stop until goodness reigns in our kingdom. And I won’t sleep ’til every Fairy Tale Reform School student is back under my watch or at home with their families.”

In related news, the Dwarf Police Squad is urging villagers not to panic over a crop of beanstalks that appeared in the countryside and also on the grounds of Fairy Tale Reform School right after Rumpelstiltskin’s disappearance. The DPS insists that rumors suggesting the stalks grew from magic beans are completely unfounded, but they have promised to investigate further. Enchantasia old-timers need no reminder of the great giant invasion that almost destroyed the kingdom and the magic beans that gave the giants entry. When asked for comment, Pete laughed. “There are no magic beans in Enchantasia. Villagers need to stop worrying!”
