A/N: Sorry for the late update! I've had an icky cold for like the past week and I've felt too sick to update; I hope y'all understand! Okay, here's another short chapter, so I'm gonna give you 2 chapters again (the next one is much longer), but that's it! The rest of the story is just one chapter per update! Also, did everyone realize that this story only has 9 chapters (including this one) left? Yep! The count down begins!
Together Forever As One
Chapter 31: Snow Whitelighter And The Seven Dwarfs
Chanting echoed through the attic. There was a bright flash of light, on the attic walls and when it was gone, the walls were colored bright purple.
"Grrr!" Pearl grumbled. "This should have been a simple spell! How come it won't reverse?"
"Probably because you did the spell without giving it much thought." Phiona replied, quietly. She gently rocked Pandora back and forth. "Maybe we should forget about the walls for a while?"
"No. Mom'll kill me if...when we get her back, if she sees the walls like this." Pearl replied.
"But isn't finding the Charmed Ones more important?" Phiona asked.
Pam giggled.
Pearl swirled around. "What are you giggling at?"
"It sound funny to hear youw call mommy and da aunts 'Da Chawmed Ones'." Pam giggled.
Pearl rolled her pretty eyes.
Pandora, who was probably picking up every thought in the room, was getting very fussy.
"Shh, shhh. It's okay." Phiona tried to assure her baby cousin, as she lightly rocked Pandora again.
Pandora stopped fussing and glanced at the bright purple walls. Then she made a small cooing noise and twitched her little fingers. A flash of white light surrounded the walls and then when the light vanished, the walls were back to normal.
Pearl, Phiona, and Pam stared in awe at the infant. "I didn't do that." They murmured together. The 3 exchanged glances. "No way!"
Pandora giggled and wiggled her hands.
"If it wasn't us...." Pearl began.
"Is was da baby!" Pam finished.
"How?" Pearl asked. "She can't even talk!"
"Maybe when she did that cooing thing, it was actually a spell that we couldn't understand?" Phiona suggested.
"But how? She doesn't know how to rhythm." Pearl pointed out.
"Maybe she read our minds and just put a spell together from our thoughts?" Phiona said.
"It's grasping at straws, but you could be right." Pearl replied.
"I don't see any stwaws." Pam jumped in.
"It's a figure of speech." Pearl replied.
"What's a, 'figure of speech'?" Pam asked.
Pearl looked at her watch. "Nevermind. Here, we're going down to the living room." She ushered her cousins out of the attic.

"Now, you three wait here and I'm gonna go check the Manor one more time." Pearl said.
"And if you don't find them?" Phiona said, quietly, so Pam wouldn't hear.
Pearl pretended not to hear Phiona's question, because she honestly didn't have a 'Plan B'. "Just scream if you need me. And remember, stay here, together!" She turned and ran back up the stairs.

Paige opened her eyes and found herself sitting on the side of a well. She began to lean backwards. "Oh!" She yelped, as she grabbed the side of the well and pulled herself back up, then hopped off. "Where am I?" Paige asked, out loud. She looked down at herself. She was wearing a ragged brown dress, with puffy white short sleeves, a white collar, and 2 patches; one was purple and one was blue. Her shoes were brown clogs. Her hair was tied in a blue ribbon. Paige looked around; she seemed to be in a backyard or garden, maybe both. There were little animals all around her. "Hello?" She called, as she walked around. Paige shrugged. "I'm getting out of here, where ever 'here' is." Paige said. She closed her eyes and tried to orb out, but nothing happened. "Why am I not orbing?" Paige asked herself, out loud. She looked around and spotted a small rock. "Rock!" She called, but nothing happened. "Oh....this is not good." She whispered. "Prue? Piper? Phoebe?" Paige yelled out. She faced the sky. "Leo?!" Paige called. But nothing happened, the only noise she heard were the animals and sounds of the garden. She whirled around, looking for any way out, but a large brick wall stood all around her. She looked behind her and just realized she was standing in front of a large castle. "This can't be good...." She muttered. Then she saw a large red curtain move and an evil looking woman appeared.
"Snow White! What are you doing?! I thought you had your chores?!" The woman in the window hissed, coldly.
Snow White? Paige thought. Her eyes got wide. And the Evil Queen! The well, the castle, the garden....Oh my Goddess, I.... Paige's thoughts were cut off by the sharp voice.
"Snow White! Answer me, I demand it!" The woman hissed.
"I...I don't know...I guess it just got away from me." Paige lied.
"Well then you can stay out there, 'away' from the castle for the night! And finish your chores!" The woman roared. Then she turned sharply and disappeared behind the curtain.
"I....I'm inside the story, 'Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs'!" Paige said, in realization. She looked up at the very blue sky and shook her head. How will I warn my sisters? She thought.
