"Evie, darling! Time for your makeup lesson!" Grimhilde (aka the Evil Queen) sat at her dressing table, with different makeup kits and tools surrounding her. Five-year-old Evie ran into the room, wearing her worn-out blue dress, her hair put in pigtails. And she had a toy doll dangling from her hand that had seen better days. "Mummy needs you to put your doll on the table to practice on."

"Why do we need makeup, Mommy?" Evie asked. Grimhilde sighed before she lifted her daughter up and placed Evie on the stool next to her. "You're already pretty."

"I know, darling, but not everyone else knows. You remember that story about my horrible step-daughter, Snow White. Everyone forgot about dear Mummy. But I won't let that happen ever again. And I definitely won't let her outshine you, my dear," Grimhilde stated.

Snow White sighed in disappointment. She had been hoping that her step-mother would be a better mother to Evie, maybe even forget about trying to be the 'Fairest of Them All'. But apparently, that was not the case if she was already giving beauty lessons to her daughter when she was five. Florian seemed to know what she was thinking and grabbed her hand and held his own daughter, Sammy, closer to them.

"Though I hope you realize that I am the most beautiful woman alive. If you're lucky and the poisoned apple doesn't fall from the tree, then you'll be the second most beautiful woman. And beauty is power," Grimhilde continued.

"It is?"

"Yes. If you're beautiful, then richer, powerful men will want to marry you. And if you can catch a prince, then you'll never have to work a day of your life. And there'll be a mother-in-law wing as well, filled with mirrors for me. But until then, you'll make sure that every potential suitor thinks you love to cook and clean like that Snow brat," Grimhilde grabbed a brush and began to apply blush to her cheeks gesturing for Evie to do the same.

"Yes, Mommy."

"So that's why you were so desperate to get with me," Chad stated, loud enough for everyone to hear. Doug, who was sitting in the seat right behind Evie, gave her shoulder a quick squeeze to try and comfort her. She turned around and smiled softly.

"Chad, if you say something rude towards one or more of those children one more time, you'll be grounded for two weeks," Cinderella snapped.

Sammy White couldn't help but laugh as Chad was scolded by his mom. She had gone to Evie to ask if she'd make her an outfit for a dance her parents were holding, and even though this was the daughter of her mother's enemy (and technically her step-aunt) Evie was nothing but warm and friendly towards her. So when it came to the VKs, she was all for them being able to live normal lives despite their heritage.

And Sammy knew, as did the whole school, that Chad was a jerk who used smart, pretty girls, to do his homework before breaking their hearts. And he definitely deserved to be grounded for longer than two weeks.

"Mommy, I got an A on the homework from school!" Evie exclaimed, now eight-years-old. Grimhilde sighed and looked down on her daughter as Evie ran into her mother's room. "Are you proud of me?"

"Sweetheart, here's another life lesson for you; don't try to be smart. Men love being stronger, and they also love being smarter. The way to get a boy to like you is to pretend you're dumb. Getting A's won't impress any princes, dear," Grimhilde stated. "I've been meaning to Castle School you anyway, so we can get started right away on learning what's really important."

"Oh," Evie looked devastated like she was going to burst into tears at any second. "Ok, Mommy."

"Don't cry, Evie," Grimhilde picked up her daughter and dried Evie's tears. "It's not becoming and makes your whole face turn this ghastly shade of red."

"For a moment I actually thought she was going to comfort Evie," Happy commented, ironically not feeling very happy at the moment. His wife, Greta, wasn't very happy either. She looked at her young daughter Harley (who was the same age Evie was in that last memory) and had to hope watching this would teach her not to let boys change her. And that her older son, Howie, would never try to change a girl either.

"Poor dear," Doug's mother, Lisa, was all for her son's relationship with Evie. She (and Dopey) both agreed that a child's lineage did not mean they would end up just like their parents. But Lisa had thought that Grimhilde would treat her actual daughter better than she had treated Snow. She leaned over to her husband and whispered, "remind me to tell Doug that Evie is allowed to come and spend the break with us."

Dopey nodded in agreement. Unknowingly, most of the other dwarves had heard and most of the wives were already planning little activities to do (since the dwarves all live on the same street as one another with their families, as did Snow, Florian, and their daughter).

The four parents gathered with their children, right after their song Rotten to the Core.

Grimhilde sat down with her daughter as Maleficent explained the plan. "Evie, my little Evil=ette in training, you just find you a prince with a big castle and a mother-in-law wing."

"And lots and lots of mirrors," Grimhilde and Evie said in unison. Evie laughed out loud, but quickly stopped with her mother gave her a stern look.

"No laughing! Wrinkles!" Maleficent went on to discuss the details of the plan, with Cruella and Jafar interrupting as they didn't want their children to leave them. Grimhilde seemed fine with it, except for one little detail. "Evie's not going anywhere until we get rid of this unibrow, huh?"

"What unibrow?" Sammy asked. Evie turned around and shrugged.

"My mother sees flaws in everyone, even if they're not really there."

"Did I mention that I love you very much, mom?" Sammy asked as she curled up next to Snow, who smiled and kissed her daughter's forehead affectionately.

Then Grimhilde gave Evie the magic mirror, with her little comment about finding her she began to pack makeup into a bag for Evie to take with her. "Now, who's the fairest of them all?"

"Me?' Evie asked. Grimhilde seemed to be taken aback, and Evie looked like she was about to change her answer when Grimhilde finally spoke again.

"Ah. You. Yes. Let's go." Grimhilde watched as her daughter got into the limo. While Jafar wanted gold and Cruella wanted a puppy, there was only one thing she really wanted out of this plan, and that was not world domination. That was more of Maleficent's thing. "Bring home a prince!"

As the screen went dark, silence fell upon everyone as they took in what they just saw. Evie ducked her head, anxious to see what else everyone had to say. Dough noticed this and entwined his hand with hers. "You don't have to snatch a prince to prove that you matter. You're beautiful, and not just on the outside."

Snow stood up and headed straight for the row Evie was in. The fairies looked on nervously, desperate for something to happen that proved they had done the right thing gathering all of the heroes and their families for this event. The other VKs got ready to fight but really hoped it wouldn't have to come to that.

Snow made her way until she was face to face with the daughter of the Evil Queen. "You know, you're technically my stepsister. And it would be a shame if we couldn't act sisterly all because of something that happened so long ago."

Evie glanced over at Doug, who smiled encouragingly, then at Mal, Jay, and Carlos, who gestured for her to get up. So she slowly stood up and extended her hand only to be pulled into a tight embrace by Snow White, the enemy of her mother.

"Aw!" was heard from many of the mothers in the crowd as Florian and Sammy brought their chairs over so they too could see with Evie.

"I'm so touched to see this heartwarming sight," Dorothea exclaimed. Tink smiled and raised a hand up to stop all of the side conversations. "Now,

AN: The Evil Queen's name has been known by many names, including Grimhilde. I know in Disney's Twisted Tales she's called Queen Ingrid but is known as Queen Grimhilde in Serena Valentino's Fairest of All book and the name was declared canon by Disney at one point. Thanks for reading! Until next time...
