I paced on the top of a building. It had been a week since I had met Belle and the beast guy, in the enchanted castle. I rubbed a hand over my eyes. "Maybe the whole thing was just a dream," I muttered. "There is no lady, there is no mirror, and there is no enchanted castle."

Just then, my spidey sense tingled. I spun and grabbed the object just a second before it hit my head.

I looked down at it, and was met with my reflection. My jaw dropped. It was the mirror!

My reflection started to spin, and the surface shimmered. I dropped the mirror, but everything was still spinning. I toppled onto my side, and my vision faded.

…

My eyes shot open, and I jumped to my feet, looking around wildly. I was in a forest. I dusted myself off, and started walking.

Soon, I came to a clearing with a small cottage. There were seven shovels and seven pickaxes sitting in a pile. I crossed the clearing to the front door, and knocked.

I heard people whispering on the other side. The door opened, revealing a small guy with a grumpy expression and a beard. He had six other small guys standing behind him.

"Uh…" I blinked. "Hi. My names Spider Man. Who are you?"

The grumpy guy crossed his arms and scowled. Or at least, scowled more than he already was. "Who wants to know?"

I looked at him weirdly. "I just told you my name."

"Don't try to trick me," Grumpy (that's what I decided to call him) said, poking me in the chest. Or at least, he tried. He couldn't quite reach my chest, so he poked my stomach. "You're Snow's stepmom in disguise, and you're here to trick or kill her, aren't you?"

"Uh, no. One, I am not a girl. Two, I am nobody's parent. Three, who is Snow?"

Grumpy narrowed his eyes at me, then stepped back. "Wait here a second." He slammed the door in my face, and I heard the whispering again.

I leaned up against the door, trying to hear what the voices were saying. All I could understand was, "Guy- Spider- mom- trap- outside- door."

My spidey sense tingled, and the door opened. I fell at the feet of someone with gold slippers.

I looked up at a girl with deep black hair, pale skin, and dark red lips. "Uh…. hi."

"Hello." she took my hand, pulling me to my feet. "Who are you?"

"I'm Spider Man," I told her. "I told that to your little friends. They seemed to think I was your step mom?"

She sighed sadly. "Yes, my stepmother wants me dead. She wanted her huntsman to cut out my heart, but he didn't. The dwarves are worried she'll come after me."

I blinked once, then twice. "I'm sorry. Did you say dwarves?"

"Yes, dwarves. Their names are Sleepy, Happy, Sneezy, Dopey, Doc, Bashful, and Grumpy."

I rubbed my forehead. "So, the dwarves names describe their personalities?"

Snow looked confused. "What?"

"Nevermind."

"Spider Man," Happy said, stepping forward. "We have to go mining, and we don't want to leave Snow here alone. Will you stay with her?"

"Uh, no, I don't think I can…"

"Oh, please?" Doc begged. "Snow's mep tother- er, stepmother- might come and try to hill ker! I mean, kill her!" He and the other five dwarves (grumpy excluded) gave me puppy dog eyes.

"Ok, ok, fine. How about this? I'll teach her how to avoid being killed. Deal?"

"Deal!" the dwarves chorused.

A few minutes later, the dwarves had left, each with a kiss on the head from Snow."

"Ok!" I said when she turned back. "Let's get started. First lesson: if a stranger comes to the door, do not open it. If you do, make sure the stranger doesn't have any knives or swords. And don't let them inside. Lock the doors when you're here alone. Got all that?"

"Uh huh!" Snow smiled.

"Second. If someone is selling something, and they give you a free sample, do not eat it. Understand?"

Snow frowned. "But what if the food is magical? Then can I eat it?"

I sighed. I did not want to argue with that. "Ok, fine. If the food is magical, you can eat it." What were the chances of that anyway?

Snow beamed. "Yay! Ok, is that all?"

"Yea, I think that's about it," I told her. "I really should be going now. Do you have any questions?"

"Nope!" she smiled cheerfully. "Bye bye!" she waved to me as I walked away from the small cottage.

I waved back. "Bye, Snow. Good luck with your step mom."

"Thank you!" she closed the door."

…

I stumbled through the forest. There were a lot of roots in this part.

I tripped over one. Tumbling head over heels down the hill I'd been about to walk down. I smacked head first into a tree, and my vision faded.

...

My eyes shot open, seeing puffy white clouds. Was this home?

I heard a loud voice yell, "That Spider Man is a menace!" and I smiled. Yep, I was definitely home.

I stood and looked around. This was the same place that I had found the mirror! I didn't see it now, though. I shook my head. "I have got to figure this out," I muttered, swinging off for home."

…

I watched the young hero as he webbed his way through the city. "He is improving," I murmured.

I pulled my hood tighter over my head. "I must tell my sister what has happened." I turned, and marched into the city in search of my sister.
