A/N: Oh my gosh! Only 4 chapters left, after this one! Wow, I can't believe how far this story has come! peanut2lb: Hey, I was just reading your story, "Inner Demons" today. I think I like it a lot. I'll review later (not done reading it), but I just thought I'd let you know. ;) Very creative idea and I love that it has 3 out of 4 of my favorite couples. :-D LeoPiperAndyPrue: Yes! I check every day. lol I wake up, I mentally complain that I'm awake, and then I grab my cell phone and check. (Yes, I have internet access on my cell phone and is one of the only sites that will fully load on my cell phone. So I have my 3 favorite fanfics on my favorites list, on my cell phone.) And OMGodess! When I woke up this morning, after my mental complaining, I checked your fic, and I nearly bounces out of my bed with happiness! You updated, granted it was short, but you updated! I'm in such a good mood right now! lol And sadly, no, I can't watch the TNT episodes. I don't have TNT on my T.V. Or I would be watching them, 'cause I'm obsessed too! Thanks to everyone who reviewed!

Together Forever As One
Chapter 36: This Slipper Is Made For Walkin'

Phiona appeared in a flash of golden light, on the steps of palace. She looked up, just in time to see the carriage drive away. "No! Mom!" She gasped, as she held out her hands, on instinct; nothing happened. She waved her hands again, waiting for orbs to shoot from her hands, but nothing happened. "Oh no....My powers don't work here!" She exclaimed, in realization. Then she looked beside her and saw the glass slipper. "The glass slipper! That means...." She whispered. She spun around to see the Prince, Leo, come running out of the entrance.

"Piper, wait!" Leo yelled, then he ran down the steps, only to spot Phiona and the glass slipper. "Phiona!" He yelled.

"Dad!" Phiona cried out. She ran into Leo's arms and hugged him. "What's going on?! Why didn't mom say with you and why aren't my powers working?" She asked.

"Phiona...I'm not sure how we got here, but it must have something to do with evil. Piper wanted to stay, but something was forcing her to leave. I'm guessing the story must have some type of control over us. I mean, we can do what we want, but when we don't 'follow' everything, then we start loosing control. Does that make sense?" Leo asked.

"Like, giving you a 'push' in the right direction?" Phiona asked.

Leo nodded. "Exact...." He began, but before he could finish, he reached down and grabbed the glass slipper. "...ly." He finished. "See?" He asked, as he waved the glass slipper around.

"Yeah...Look, now you're supposed to find mom, right? Some announcement or something?" Phiona asked. She felt the spell in her pocket and pulled it out.

"Yes. The Prince's bride will be whoever the slipper fits." Leo replied.

"So, make the announcement. Then...." Phiona's voice trailed off as a smile covered her face. "Wait! I know, I'll just use the slipper to cast a spell with! Then we'll find mom and set everything back to normal!" She announced.

"After the announcement?" Leo asked.

Phiona nodded. "I'll just wait....behind those bushes for a few minutes, coming up with the spell." She explained.

"Okay, I'll be right back." Leo said. He walked back up the stairs and into the ballroom, with the glass slipper in hand.

Phiona dashed behind the bushes that she told her father that she'd wait behind. "Now..A spell involving the glass slipper? How would that go?" She began humming to herself. "Mmmm...these shoes are made for walkin' and that's just what they'll do, one of these days these shoes are gonna walk all over you." She sang, as she remembered a song that she heard her Aunt Paige singing a few weeks ago. "Wait, that's it! I got it!" She exclaimed, with excitement.

"Got what?" Leo asked, as he walked up behind Phiona.

"The spell! Here, lemme see the glass slipper!" She asked, as she held out her hand.

Leo placed the glass slipper in Phiona's hand. "Hurry!" He said, with urgency.

Phiona took a deep breath and then slid the glass slipper onto her foot; it felt a little funny at first, since she didn't have anything on the other foot. "This slipper is made for walkin' and that's just what it'll do, right now this slipper is gonna walk us right to you know who!" Phiona recited. Suddenly she hopped up and began to walk away.

"Phiona, come back!" Leo called, as he ran after his daughter.

"I can't control it!" Phiona yelled back, as she tried to slow down. She held out her hand. "Hurry!" She yelled.

Leo dashed after Phiona and grabbed her hand, then struggled to keep up with her fast pace, as they disappeared into the night.
