A new friend named sunnyflight530 helped me out with this one! Enjoy!


Spider Man landed on a tree branch in Central Park and stretched. He had just finished fighting off a couple of bank robbers that obviously weren't very good. They had cowered the minute he had showed up.

After his quick break, he was going to head back to S.H.I.E.L.D.

Once the triskelion was seen, Spider Man swung in and was about to make a perfect landing until something appeared.

It looked like a well.

"What the-?!"

Spider Man wasn't able to stop himself as he fell into the well.

"WHOOOOOAAAA!" The hero fell deeper and deeper. As he fell, he noticed this well was rather deep.

"Geez, this feels like I'm going through a wormhole." Spider Man noted. "I wonder if this place leads to another spider-verse?"

A light came at the end. Spider Man shot out of the well and into the air, twisting around in midair. When he fell back down to earth, he managed to land on his stomach with his arms splayed out.

Spider man stood up, and flexed his arms and legs. "Well, that was extremely painful." Then he shrugged. "Whatever. It doesn't-" Spidey faltered and stared at the big castle that was less than a mile from where he was standing.

"Spidey, you are definitely not in New York anymore…" Spider Man turned around and stared.

The well was gone.

"Okay...there goes my ride."

Spider Man decided to head towards the castle. He saw how blue the sky was, how bright the sunshine was, birds chirped sweetly as they flew over the superhero's head.

"Wow, that well certainly took me to a nice place." Spider Man said. "No crowded streets, no polluted skies, and no picklepuss reporters with their mellons on the big screen."

Spider Man was getting closer to the castle when he spotted a lovely girl walking in a field of flowers.

Once he saw the girl, Spider Man froze. "Whoa..."

A beautiful girl smiled as she picked a flower. Her hair was ebony and her eyes were violet. She wore a purple dress that complimented her slender figure and white skin.

Spider Man just stood there and stared at this girl. She was so lovely, maybe even hotter than Mary Jane!

He watched the girl put the flower up to her nose and smelled it until the flower suddenly died in her hand.

"Huh?" Spider Man blinked. He looked and saw the girl frown and dropped the dead flower.

"Uh, excuse me." Spider Man called out.

The girl turned and her eyes widened. "Whoa!" She was more than a little surprised by this costumed stranger.

"Yeah, sorry about the outfit." Spider Man said. He bowed. "Enchanté. And you are?"

The girl stared at Spider Man for a full minute. "I'm Raven Queen. And you are?"

"Spider Man, at your service." the friendly neighborhood superhero said. "So, Raven, where exactly am I?"

"This is Ever After." said Raven. "I take it you're not from around here."

"Well, I certainly don't follow the dress code, if that's what you're saying." Spider Man joked.

Raven laughed a little. "So, what brings you here?"

"Would you believe that I fell into a magic well and ended up here?"

"Hmm, a magic well, huh?" Raven pondered for a moment.

And then a voice so sweet it could have been made of honey. "Raven! Who are you talking to?"

'Whoa, Mama!' Spider Man blurted out in his head, googly-eyed.

Coming his way was a girl with long, wavy hair that looked like it was made from gold. Her eyes were bright blue and beautiful. And she wore a white and red dress that went with the red bow crown in her hair.

"Oh!" The golden haired girl put a hand over her red lips. "Who's this?!"

"This is Spider Man." Raven introduced. "Spider Man, this is Apple White."

Spider Man blinked. "Wait, Apple White?" Something about her name sounded familiar.

"Yes, Apple White, like Snow White. She's my mom."

Spider Man shook his head and backed away. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Snow White?! Like the fairy tale?!"

"Yes, of course." Apple said. A few birds flew down and landed on Apple's shoulders. "Hello, little ones." she said sweetly.

'Am I being punked or something?!' Spider Man was beyond baffled. Snow White can't be real. Or her children.

Can they?

"So...Snow White is real?!"

"That's right, very real." Apple confirmed.

"So...is that why you've got birds on you?" asked Spider Man.

"I don't like to brag, but yeah." Apple said as the birds perched on her fingers. She gave then a little push and they flew off.

"And what's really amazing is that she never gets bird poop on her." Raven said.

"Raven!" Apple chuckled as she nudged her friend.

Now Spider Man was really curious. "So...if Apple is Snow White's mom, then what about you, Raven? Who's your mom?"

Raven and Apple were stunned by Spider Man's question. They shared a look, saying that they were unsure if they should tell him.

"Come on, Apple told me who her mom is, why can't you?" said Spider Man.

"Well, it is fairest...I suppose." Apple said, wary.

"Okay," Raven began. "Apple's mother is Snow White whereas my mother is...the Evil Queen."

"The Evil Queen?!" Spider Man said. "As in, the one who poisoned Snow White?!"

Raven nodded.

"As in, 'Mirror, Mirror, on the wall. Who's the fairest of them all?'"

"Unfortunately." Raven sighed out. "Mirror gazing has always been a bad habit of my mother's."

"So...you guys are friends?" Spider man never would have thought the children of Snow White and the Evil Queen would be chummy together.

"We are, but our moms sure aren't." Raven replied. "They've been at each other's throats for a long time."

"Mom was always the popular one in school and the Evil Queen couldn't stand it." Apple added.

"There's a lot of things my mother can't stand." said Raven. "Like being nice, innocence, goodness, empathy, compassion, kindness." She counted them all on her fingers.

"Wow, sounds like you have it pretty rough, your Majesty." Spider Man said.

"You can just call me Raven." the kind girl said. "So, Spider Man, what's your story?"

"Uh, me?" Spider Man pointed to himself. "Well, my story is kind of long."

Raven arched a brow. "We've got nothing else on our schedules."

"Actually, Raven, I promised to meet up with Briar and Ashlynn at Hocus Latte. That's why I came here. Do you want to come?"

"Sure, why don't you join us, Spider Man?" Raven asked.

"Well, I don't know..." Spider Man really should he getting back to New York.

"It's okay for you come! We can show you around." Apple said sweetly, she batted her shining blue eyes.

That's all it took.

"On second thought..." The web-head gushed. "Lead on."

"Whoa..." Spider Man took in the sights as he followed Apple and Raven.

"This is the Village of Book End." Apple said.

Spider Man was impressed. It was a humble, but bustling place. It wasn't as big as New York City, but it was a lot cheerful looking and pleasant smelling.

But most of the townsfolk were giving the masked hero confused looks.

"Gee, I must be getting popular already." Spider Man said.

"Well, your outfit sure catches a lot of eyes." Raven said. "Did you make it yourself?"

"Yeah, and I know, I look like a circus clown." Spider Man droned.

"What? No, I like it. I think it's cool." Raven said honestly.

Spider Man cocked his head back. "Really? You actually like my costume?!" Never was he used to hearing that. Many people thought Spider Man's costume was ridiculous.

"Yeah, it's an original." Raven smiled. "I like original thinking."

Apple smiled. "I like it too. I think the red is a nice touch."

Raven chuckled. "That's no surprise, Apple. You love the color red. It reminds you of your favorite food."

"Well, what can I say? I can't say no to apples!" Apple smiled and batted her eyelashes.

Some boys nearby saw her charming expression and rushed to her, offering her apples.

"Whoa!" Spider Man took a step back. "Where did they come from?!"

"It happens when you're the fairest of them all." Raven said.

Apple gladly took the fruits and put them in her apple shaped purse. "How enchanting!" She took one and was about to eat it.

Suddenly, Spider Man's spidey sense tingled. "Whoa! Don't touch that apple!"

Apple stopped before she could take a big bite. "What?! What's wrong?"

Spider Man looked at the apple. "There's something wrong with this apple, it could be poison" He opened the apple in half and inside he found a squirmy green insect. "Never would have thought worms still lived in apples..."

"Whoa! How'd you know that worm was in there?" Raven asked.

"It's my Spidey sense." Spider Man explained while throwing the apple away. "It's like a sixth sense that alerts me to danger."

"That's amazing!" Apple said. "Thank you!"

"My pleasure. Just don't eat apples unless you know where they came from!" The superhero told her.

"How about we go to Hocus Latte so we can talk?" Raven said. "I still want to know how you got here."

"Hocus Latte?" Spider Man tilted his head.

"Yeah! You'll love it there!" Apple took his hand and they walked off.

However, a swan hiding behind the garbage can was watching them, eavesdropping on the whole thing.

The swan morphed into a ballerina with black hair streaked with white. She frowned unpleasantly.

It was Duchess Swan, daughter of the Swan Queen.

And if there's one thing she can't stand, it's someone saving her rival Apple White.

"That costumed freak ruined my plan! That worm would have really messed up Apple!" Duchess hissed. "Time to go black swan on that stooge!"
