At Hocus Latte, there were many puzzled and awkward glances at Spider Man when he entered the building.

Poor Spidey felt like a alien pod person in a room full of scientists.

As Apple, Raven, and Spider Man were about to order, a girl with platinum white-blonde hair flew right in front of them, whacking Apple with her iridescent wings.

"Hey!" Spider Man snapped.

"Faybelle!" Raven said, her eyes flashing.

"I'll have a caramel hocus latte." the human-sized fairy named Faybelle ordered casually.

She turned to them with a sneer. "Oops, didn't see you there." She scowled her attention to Spider Man. "And what's with you? Is the freak show in town?"

"Says the girl with wings coming out her back." Spider Man snipped back.

Faybelle's face went dark, a blue glow filled her eyes.

Raven cut in between them before things got ugly. "Just back off, Faybelle."

Apple leaned close and frowned at the bad fairy. "Be nice to Spider Man, He's new here and that means he's not used to your...wickedness."

Faybelle's frown did not leave her face. "Fine, I'll give him one chance." She walked up to Spider Man's face. "And you just blew it. Consider yourself warned."

Then she took her drink and flew off.

"Geez, talk about attitude." Spider Man said.

"Don't mind her. That's Faybelle Thorn." Apple said. "She's not nice to anyone."

The trio got their lattes and took a seat together.

"So, what exactly is this world?" asked Spider Man.

"This is the world of Ever After, where the sons and daughters of famous fairytale go to Ever After High to follow in the footsteps of our fairytale parents to follow tradition and relive the famous fairy tales of our parents."

Apple put a hand over her heart. "And I chose to follow the path of my mother and becomes the next Snow White, and become queen of Ever After."

"But not all of us want to be like our parents." Raven pointed out. "I want to write my own destiny as a rebel." Raven said. "And not be anything like my mother."

"So...let me get this straight." Spider Man pointed at Apple. "You want to be the next Snow White and get poisoned with a bad apple?"

Apple nodded.

He pointed at Raven. "And you don't want to be an Evil Queen and not poison Apple here?"

Raven nodded.

"How's that gonna work?"

Apple looked a little sad. "I'm not sure. But I know that Raven shouldn't be forced to be someone she's not. I tried to convince her to be evil more times than I want to remember, but I learned that she's too good to be evil."

"I don't see anything wrong with that." Spider Man said. "In fact, if everyone had Raven's moral compass, my world would be a much better place."

Raven smiled. "Thanks, Spider Man."

"You can call me Spidey." The teen hero winked at them.

"So, what's it like in your world, Spidey?" Apple asked. "Are there other spider people like you?"

"Yup, we call ourselves the Web Warriors. And I do need to find a way to get back to them, they're probably worried about me."

"You said a magic well brought you here." Raven said. "Was it the Well of Wonder?"

Spider Man blinked. "Well of Wonder?"

"It's a magic well that connects between here and Wonderland. So are you from Wonderland?"

"Uh, no. I'm from New York."

Apple arched a brow. "New York? Never heard of it."

"Same here." said Raven.

Sighing, Spider Man took his latte. "Guess I'm gonna be here for a while." He pulled his mask up halfway and took a sip.

"So...why do you wear that mask?" asked Apple.

"Well...in my world, I'm a hero. So I wear this to protect my secret identity. Y'know how that is."

"I hear ya." Raven complied. "Nothing wrong with heroes being vigilant. But don't worry, Spidey. We'll help you find a way home."

Apple raised her cup. "Here's to helping a new friend."

Spider Man smiled and held up his latte. "Here! Here!"

The trio toasted their drinks.

The door to Hocus Latte opened, but no one came inside.

Someone was leaving.

In an dark alleyway, Faybelle Thorn appeared. She made herself invisible with a spell.

Duchess Swan emerged from the shadows. "So, what did you find out?"

"A lot." said Faybelle. "That spider weirdo is from another world called New York. And the goody twosome are trying to help him get back home." She smiled in a wicked manner. "And I think I found his weakness. He wears that mask to keep his identity a secret."

Duchess smiled just like Faybelle. "Sounds like a weakness to me."

"And that gives me a low-down, rotten, sneaky idea." Faybelle put a hand on her chest. "I should be ashamed of myself for even thinking of it."

Faybelle looked at Duchess. And Duchess looked at her.

They both burst out laughing.

Faybelle took out her phone. "Luckily, I know someone who's all about exposing people's secrets. If Blondie Lockes can't bust this Spider Man, no one can."

The dark fairy dialed the number.

A few moments later, Faybelle growled and angrily hung up. "Pixie sticks!"

"What's up?"

"Apparently, there's no reception wherever Blondie is. Guess we'll have to do this ourselves."

"Nothing wrong with that." Duchess stuck her hand out. "Fairytales of a feather flock together."

Faybelle and Duchess shook hands.
