A/N: Sorry for the really long delay. As I told the people's stories that I reviewed, I was taking care of a wild baby birdie. He was found behind the tire of some guy's truck, in a parking lot. He was SO cute. But he required a lot of time. We named him, Hopper. He was a baby Sparrow. SO ADORABLE! Anyway, we finally took him to the Humane Society, so they can care for him, then release him back into the wild. To a few of my reviewers.... PhoebeColelovers: lol No, I'm not planning on killing off Cole any time soon. I HATE what they did to him in the show, it was SO AWFUL! He was such a cool character and Phoebes one true love as far as I'm concerned. So no killing off Cole! And thanks for your input, I'll try to add more Cole in there. LeoPiperAndyPrue: Hehe!

Together Forever As One
Chapter 34: Once Upon A Travel
----15 Minutes Later----
Pearl finished explaining what had happened and stared at Andy.
"So, what do we need to do and why was I summoned?" Andy asked, as he paced around in the center of the candles.
"Walk out of the candles and get solid." Pearl said, with a bit of a 'duh' expression.
Andy nodded and stepped out of the circle, then immediately became solid. He walked over to Phiona and picked Pandora from her arms. "Hello again, my dear daughter." He whispered, as he stroked Pandora's cheek.
Pandora cooed and wiggled in her father's arms.
"Look. You must go into the story, find the Charmed Ones, and have them read a specific spell. The only way to get into the story is using an item from the story and 'commanding' yourself into the story. Are you up for the challenge?" The old man asked.
Pearl stood confidently. "Yes." She announced. "Where do I start?" She asked.
"Which story is your mother in?" The old man, a.k.a, The Keeper asked.
"'Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs'." Pearl announced.
"The magic mirror is your ride." The Keeper announced. He pointed to a large, very old looking mirror on the wall. Then he held out his hand and a piece of folded paper materialized in his palm. "Take this. Then 'command' yourself into the story, when you feel that you're ready, jump into the mirror and it will act as a portal. But remember, you must find your mother and father, or else none of you can return." He warned.
Pearl nodded. She grabbed the paper from The Keeper's palm. "Thank you." She said. She turned and waved to her cousins. "I'll be back!" She announced. I am going into the the fairy tale. I will see the Seven Dwarfs, I will see my mother as Snow White, I will see my father as the Prince! I am going into this story! Pearl thought. Then she made a mad dash towards the mirror and leaped into the air. When it looked as if she were about to crash head first into the mirror, the mirror began to swirl, then Pearl went right through. The mirror then returned to it's normal state.
"Who's next?" The Keeper asked.
Phiona raised her hand. "I am. My mom is trapped in 'Cinderella'. What do I do?" She asked.
Another piece of paper materialized in The Keeper's hand. He handed the paper to Phiona. "The glass slippers will take you into 'Cinderella'. But hurry!" He warned.
Phiona nodded. She turned and hugged Pam. "Go find Auntie Phoebe and Uncle Cole, okay?" She asked.
Pam nodded.
Phiona kicked off her shoes and stared in amazement as she watched as The Keeper carefully removed the glass slippers from a velvet pillow and set them on the floor. "Be careful, they haven't been worn in hundreds of years. Also, they'll disappear when you reach your destination." He said.
"Yes, sir." Phiona replied. She tucked the spell in her pocket and slid her feet into the dainty glass slippers. "Wow...." She gaped. Then she closed her eyes. Mommy! Daddy! I am coming to save you! I am going into the fairy tale and I will see everything from the mice to the wicked step sisters! She thought. Then in a flash of golden light, she vanished. Minutes later, there was another flash of golden light, then the glass slippers reappeared on their velvet pillow.
Pam slipped on her shoes and shimmered in front of The Keeper. "Whats about me?" She asked.
The Keeper held out his hand and another piece of paper materialized in his hand. "Take this and keep it very safe! Give it to your mother and make sure to find her quickly!" He warned.
Pam nodded as she stuffed the paper in her pocket. "Okies." She replied.
The Keeper looked a little skeptical. Then he turned around and pulled a glass dome off of a beautiful rose, that was suspended in mid air. He took the rose from it's spot and handed it to Pam. "Now hold the rose and think very hard about going into the story. Your mother is in, 'Beauty And The Beast', right?" He asked.
Pam nodded and grasped the rose. She closed her eyes and imagined pictures from the fairy tale. Then she imagined her mother and father. I am gonna find you in the fairy tale! She thought. Then in a swirl of white and black swirls, she vanished. Within a few moments, there was another swirl of white and black, and the rose appeared under it's glass dome.
"And so you will be last. 'Sleeping Beauty'?" The Keeper asked.
"Yes....But what about Pandora. I can't take her with me." Andy said.
The Keeper smiled. "I'll watch her." He said. He held out his hands and a small playpen appeared in th room. "Place her there." He said.
Andy nodded and placed his daughter in the playpen. "What do I do?" He asked.
"The spinning wheel. You must prick your finger on the spinning wheel, while wishing to be in the story, then you'll be transported." The Keeper replied.
"Doesn't that put you to sleep though?" Andy asked.
"Normally, yes, but not in this case." The Keeper replied. Another slip of paper appeared in his hand and he gave it to Andy. Then he pointed to a spinning wheel, a few feet away from Andy. "That one. First think of getting there, then prick your finger." He said.
Andy looked skeptical for a moment, then gave in. "Okay. Prue, here I come." He announced. Those eyes. That sleeping form. I am coming for you. I am going into this fairy tale for you, Prudence Halliwell. He thought. Then he pricked his finger on the spinning wheel; in a flash of red light, he vanished.
TO BE CONTINUED....
