Meanwhile...
"What do you mean Drell's not upstairs?" Hilda asked Zelda as they met upstairs. "If he's not here, then who is?"
"It didn't come from the linen closet," Zelda said as she pointed to the ladder going upstairs in their house. "It came from the attic when I was organizing our magic supplies. It's someone we haven't seen in a long time."
"You don't mean-" Hilda started.
"Oh, I do." Zelda nodded.
The witch sisters soon came up into the attic as their magic mirror had glowed a bit before finishing as two children were shown to be in the attic now before they opened their eyes and looked around at where they had ended up.
"Jack..." Hilda spoke.
"Jill..." Zelda added.
"Brother, are we safe?" The girl named Jill asked her brother.
"I think so," The boy named Jack replied. "Luckily I don't see Rumplestiltskin anywhere."
"Thank goodness," Jill sighed. "I hope Princess Snow White will be okay."
"Same here." Jack said before they looked to see they weren't alone.
Hilda and Zelda looked over as Hilda gave a weary wave.
"Miss Hilda and Miss Zelda?" Jack and Jill gasped.
"Hello, it's been a while," Hilda said to them. "Um... What are you two doing in this realm?"
"In this world, no less." Zelda added.
"We had to get away from Rumplestiltskin," Jill frowned. "Our home was put under attack."
"Oh, dear..." Hilda frowned back.
"You didn't happen to see Princess Snow White's friends, did you?" Jack asked. "Cinderella, Rapunzel, and Sleeping Beauty?"
"No, I'm afraid not, dear," Zelda said softly. "It's just me and Hilda and we live in The Magic Realm where we took in and raised our niece, Sabrina."
Soon, the Spellman sisters brought Jack and Jill downstairs at the kitchen table to share some hot chocolate to soothe the orphans.
"We have to hope Rumplestiltskin isn't able to arrive in The Mortal Realm or else there will be no one that can stop him, except the ones that do have magic." Jack said.
"Let's hope so," Zelda replied. "We're having some company over tonight. I suppose you could stay here with us for a while."
"Unless Drell finds something of course." Hilda said softly.
"Indeed." Zelda agreed.
"Does this company know about magic?" Jill asked.
"Oh, yes, this is a very special group," Hilda replied. "We tell them everything."
"They might be able to help then." Jack smiled.
"We can only hope," Zelda smiled back. "Best manners though and don't be afraid of them."
"I just still hope Princess Snow White can help out," Jill frowned. "It seems that the King is dead."
Hilda and Zelda both frowned as that sounded terrible and it had been a while since they had been in the fairy tale realm and never spoke of it, but that might have to change after Atticus, Cherry, Mo, and Thor come over to dinner.
And this would be in a little while after Atticus, Cherry, Mo, and Thor would get home after school and did their homework and chores.
"Lionel, where are you?" Cherry sighed as she looked in Lionel's bedroom of the apartment she shared with her new legal guardian who was her Aunt Selina.
Isis mewed lowly as even she missed Lionel.
"Aunt Selina, I'm going out!" Cherry called out as she went to leave for the night.
"All right, Kitten, I'll see you later." Selina called back.
Cherry soon left the building and started to make her way to her friends before going to the Spellman house.
"Hopefully this can cheer us all up." Atticus smiled.
"It'll be fun." Mo added.
"Yeah, I guess." Thor sighed softly with his hands in his pockets as he kicked a rock as they walked down the sidewalk.
"I'm sure this will be a lot of fun." Patch said as he walked beside them.
"Hope you're hungry." Atticus smiled.
"He's a dog, he's always hungry." Cherry smirked.
Patch stuck his tongue out while Cherry did the same as she lowered one of her eyelids at the Dalmatian.
The group soon arrived at the Spellman house. Cherry soon rang the doorbell once they got there.
Zelda soon came to the door with a small smile. "Oh, children," she then smiled. "Come on in."
"We're almost adults, Zelda, we're not children anymore." Cherry replied.
"My age is in triple digits, everybody is a child compared to me." Zelda retorted as she let them come inside.
"Fair enough." Cherry shrugged as they walked inside.
"Also, we have two other visitors and I hope you understand and listen to what Hilda and I have to say about them." Zelda said.
The group shared a look and shrugged before they soon saw Jack and Jill.
"...Uh, do you have two kids we never knew about?" Atticus asked as he saw the orphans.
"No, this is Jack and Jill." Zelda replied.
"Jack and Jill?" Cherry scoffed at the names at first. "You mean like in the nursery rhyme?"
"It's complicated, but yes." Zelda nodded.
"Okay and in what way?" Mo asked.
"We can't stay here forever," Jack frowned. "We have to help Princess Snow White."
"And maybe even help Prince Charming so he can be King Charming." Jill added.
"I think you kids have read waaay too many fairy tales," Cherry said in disbelief. "I have a book that's a big collection of them written by some guy named Henry Mills... Rumor has it he comes from a town called Storybrooke."
Hilda and Zelda looked nervous.
"I don't know who this Henry Mills guy is, but we are in danger of Rumplestiltskin!" Jill cried out.
"Riiight," Cherry rolled her eyes. "And I'm Mother Goose and I live with The Old Lady Who Lived in a Shoe."
"Children, you don't understand," Hilda said. "Jack and Jill are telling the truth."
"WHAT?!" The group gasped.
"It's true, children," Zelda added. "The fairy tales you all grew up with are real stories that happened to actual people in an alternate world far different from the one we live in now."
"Wait, wait, wait, so then the fairy tale characters are actually real?!" Thor asked.
Hilda and Zelda simply nodded. Atticus, Cherry, Mo, and Thor looked at each other before Cherry seemed to laugh out loud as she thought it was a joke.
"It isn't FUNNY!" Jack snapped as he slammed his hands on the table which accidentally made water gush out and splash Cherry.
"Augh! Hey!" Cherry complained. "Where'd that water come from?"
"Oh... Sorry..." Jack said sheepishly.
"So, wait, you have superpowers too?" Mo asked Jack and Jill.
"Yes, we all do," Jill nodded. "I can turn into animals and Jack can control water and it's not just us."
"It's true, the princesses have powers too." Hilda smiled.
"Are you serious?" Cherry groaned with a sweat-drop. "This cannot be real!"
"Oh, but it is," Jack replied. "Rumplestiltskin was looking for us, but Princess Snow White helped us hide."
"I hope she's alright... Wherever she ended up..." Jill frowned. "I hope the other princesses made it over alright."
"Who knows where they could be?" Zelda replied. "We'll have to check to see where they are... After dinner."
Meanwhile, just outside of town, Drell was seen walking around as he had a tracker in his hands as he was secretly tracking down Lionel for Cherry and Thor since the 5th-Dimensional being seemed to just disappear off the face of the Earth as some police officers came to interrogate a guy they had found in the alley.
"Come on, where could he be?" Drell asked.
"Look, I don't want any problems, okay, guys?" The man grunted.
Drell soon looked over to see what was going on.
"Listen, officers-" The man tried to defend himself.
"What do you think, Laguardia?" The first officer asked as he pinned the man to the wall. "Think anyone will miss old Jack here if we signed him up for the Mayor's new softball team?"
"Is that what mortal authorities do?" Drell scoffed at himself. "Just threaten to make his life miserable by turning him into a cat or just scare him with a little lightning bolt," he then smirked. "Scares young witches and warlocks every time," he was then about to leave before there was a big bolt of light as young women along with a wolfish man appeared through some sort of magic which made him flinch and look back in shock. "The heck?!"
The wolfish man soon took the dagger out of his leg before sniffing the air. Red grunted as she had a shard in her back before the wolfish man ran off suddenly and she chased after him.
"Red! Wait!" The dark-haired woman cried out.
"Little Red? Cinderella?" Drell called as he saw the women.
"This is Car 2-7! We got a possible 213 at Frist and Freemont!" Laguardia said as he took out his walkie-talkie. "Requesting back-up! They came outta nowhere!"
"What are you three doing in this realm?" Drell asked the young women as he came to them.
"We're looking for someone." The long brown-haired woman replied.
"Would one of them happen to be Snow White?" Drell asked.
"Yes," The long brown-haired woman nodded. "Have you seen her?"
"I'm sorry, girls, I haven't, but I should get you out of here," Drell suggested. "The mortals in this world are too stupid and scared to handle things they don't understand. They're more bound to shoot first and ask questions later."
"Ladies! Get down on the ground!" One of the officers demanded.
"Trust me, those are not knights." Drell then told the princesses in an urgent warning.
"We'll take your word for it, but remember; we have princess powers." The blonde woman reminded him.
"I know you do, but it's not safe for you here." Drell said to them.
"I'll talk to the peasant folk," The woman known as Sleeping Beauty decided. "Hello! Maybe you can help us." she then smiled as she stepped away from the other princesses and the warlock.
"Get down on the ground with your hands behind your head, NOW!" One of the officers demanded sharply.
"Oh, my, no," Sleeping Beauty shook her head. "We're looking for our Queen. Snow White."
"That's it!" The officer glared, about to shoot her with his gun along with his friend only to be sent down to the ground and the other officer's gun turned into a bouquet of flowers.
"For me? You shouldn't have." Cinderella smiled at the flowers before Rapunzel kicked the officer down with his partner.
"You girls still got it." Drell smiled.
"Yeah, but that was dreadful." Sleeping Beauty rolled her eyes.
"I should get you girls to safety, but before that, I have a question for you," Drell said before putting his hands together with some space between. "Have you seen a little guy about this big? He's not a leprechaun, but he's about the size of a small child, has a very big head he can detach at will, has some powers very different from mine?"
The princesses all gave declining responses from that.
"Oh, well," Drell sighed. "Thank you anyway, let's just get you away from this alley."
"Okay then." Cinderella said.
"Hey, ladies!" The man called to them as they were about to leave. "Thanks, um... Or whatever, but you gotta get out of here."
"Thanks for the newsflash, Captain Obvious." Drell rolled his eyes.
"He's a captain?" Cinderella asked. "Then we should treat him with respect."
Drell face-palmed at that as some sirens began to blare. "I'll explain more about this world later," he then said to them. "But the three of you must follow me back home. Looks like my search request will have to wait."
"Do you know where Snow White is?" Rapunzel asked Drell hopefully.
"No, but I'll see what I can do once we're safe," Drell replied. "This town is loaded with criminals that sometimes even the police can't handle."
"Snow White? You don't find her, she finds you." The man said.
"You stay out of this!" Drell glared as a car rode by.
However, Snow White was shown to be in the car and glared at her fellow Fairy Tale Princesses. "Get in!" she told them sharply.
Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and Rapunzel soon ran into the car.
"You too!" Snow White then told the warlock.
"But I-" Drell replied.
"NOW!" Snow White told him.
"Okay! Miss Bossy..." Drell rolled his eyes with a sigh before getting in the car, then took out his new phone and decided to make a call. "Uh, hey, Hilda? ...I might be home late for dinner tonight." he then said nervously.
"That's okay; just tell me if you might find some princesses and tell one of them that Jack and Jill are safe and sound." Hilda said from the other line.
"Uh, yeah, funny story about that..." Drell smiled nervously. "I'll deliver the message."
"Oh, great!" Hilda beamed. "I just know that the princesses are looking for them."
In the background, Jack and Jill showed the others that they had their own powers which were water manipulation and animal shape-shifting to prove that there was more to them than there appeared to be.
"So awesome." Patch beamed.
Drell soon hung up the phone as he sighed at what he just got himself into.
"What took you so long?" Snow White complained to the other princesses.
"Thralls still hold the castle," Rapunzel explained. "They've infiltrated every inch of the Kingdom and beyond."
"The mirror's broken, but a piece of it did come through with us." Cinderella added.
"Where is it?" Snow White demanded.
"I think I saw Red Riding Hood have it before I found you guys." Drell said to the princesses.
"Yes, I believe so too." Cinderella agreed.
"Commoner." Sleeping Beauty scoffed about Red.
"Ally," Cinderella reminded her before looking to Snow White. "The Wolf came through as well. She's after him."
"Well, all she cares about is killing The Wolf and nothing more," Rapunzel said. "She can't be trusted."
"And what about those children with uncontrollable powers they have no idea how to use?" Snow White prompted.
"They might be at my girlfriend's house as we speak." Drell spoke up.
"Well, we have to find Red, the mirror, and the orphans before The Wolf leads Red to Rumplestiltskin," Snow White advised as she drove like a professional mortal in the 21st century. "If that bastard gets his hands on it, he'll open the portal again and bring his army through."
"Not unless my students and nephew have anything to say about it." Drell said.
"You have students now?" Snow White asked.
"It's a long story." Drell replied as he pushed his glasses back.
"Red won't let that happen, Your Highness." Cinderella reassured.
"I'm not queen of anything anymore." Snow White huffed.
"How long has it been?" Rapunzel asked Snow White.
"Too long." Snow White said.
"Welcome to the 21st century, ladies," Drell said. "Once you're my age, the centuries just fly on by."
Snow White soon sped the car up as they raced down the streets in her new car.
Back at the Spellman house, Hilda and Zelda shared spaghetti with their guests as they talked and caught up while Jack and Jill tucked into their food.
"I just... I didn't know fairy tales could be real..." Cherry said as she looked at Jack and Jill.
"And I didn't know some fairy tale characters could have powers." Atticus said.
"How did you find out about it, Hilda and Zelda?" Mo asked.
"Yeah, this fairy tale world." Thor added.
"Well, you see, long before you kids and Sabrina were born, we used to travel to all sorts of different realms and places throughout the years with Drell joining us because he and Hilda were first dating," Zelda said before pouting. "Sure, I felt like a third wheel, but I wanted my sister to be happy, so I let him come along with us," she then smiled. "But then he surprised me with what he had found for us to visit like that realm or a place called Middle Earth where we met a wise wizard named Gandolf."
"And don't forget about that time we spent in Hyrule." Hilda replied.
"That place was a little confusing with a princess who shared my name." Zelda reminded.
"Oh, yeah." Hilda smiled bashfully.
"So how was it when you first arrived there?" Mo asked the two witches.
"It was very nice and peaceful at first... Until Rumplestiltskin showed up." Hilda said.
"That ugly guy who turns straw into gold?" Cherry guessed.
"Well, more or less, yes," Zelda replied. "But he also has mind-controlling powers and can brainwash you into doing whatever he wants and you wouldn't even realize it."
"Gosh..." Thor gasped.
"We ran and did whatever we could to survive until Rumplestiltskin made things wrong in the kingdom." Jack frowned.
"Snow White also saved us by sending us in through the mirror," Jill added. "We don't know where she and the other princesses could be though."
"Well, let's hope that Red doesn't focus too much on trying to kill The Wolf or else she'll walk herself into a trap." Zelda said.
"Red, huh?" Mo replied.
"Yes, Little Red Riding Hood," Hilda nodded. "She's an archer."
"And is this wolf an actual wolf?" Atticus couldn't help but ask.
"He's... Pretty aggressive and like an animal, but he's not an actual wolf," Zelda explained. "He's almost inhuman... It wouldn't surprise me if he ended up working with Darkseid before you kids defeated him and helped create The Justice League."
"So he's almost like a literal wolf?" Atticus asked.
"He can be pretty brutal," Zelda warned. "You guys thought you had it rough before, it's nothing compared to The Wolf."
The group looked a little nervous.
"Well, it's not like we'll ever meet him." Cherry shrugged bashfully before she soon ate her cheesy breadstick.
"You just might." Hilda said.
"Yeah, especially if he catches our scent." Jill said, referring to herself and Jack.
"He has a strong sense of smell too?" Atticus asked.
"Why do you think they call him The Wolf?" Jack replied.
"Well... If he comes by, we'll protect you." Atticus then promised.
"Thanks." Jill smiled.
"We'll help out too." Zelda then said.
Jack smiled at her from that.
Hilda checked the time and sighed. "Where is Drell?" she then pouted.
"Maybe he forgot about you." Cherry replied, rather carelessly.
"No way." Hilda shook her head.
"Hmm... Did he have his Spell Phone with him?" Thor asked.
"He called earlier," Hilda replied. "He said he'd be a little late to dinner, but I didn't think it'd be this late."
"I'm sure he's fine, but I can call him later if you'd like." Thor smiled innocently.
"Or maybe we can track him down by GPS on his Spell Phone." Atticus said.
"Whichever works, I guess is fine." Cherry shrugged as she wiped her mouth with her napkin.
"So, is a Spell Phone basically a cell phone?" Mo asked.
"Yes, but it also uses magical spells," Thor explained to her. "Like if you wanna track someone down, you can find them and teleport right over to their location."
"Hmm... I think I'd like a Spell Phone." Mo smirked.
"So then we can find him by tracking him down by his Spell Phone." Patch smiled.
Jack and Jill looked curious as Zelda decided to clear the table after everyone was done eating.
"All right, make it so, Thor." Hilda signaled.
"Okay!" Thor beamed as he took out his Spell Phone and accessed his uncle's contact information to see where he was as the GPS tracked the older warlock down instantly. "Hmm... He seems to be on the road."
"On the road?" Hilda asked. "What exactly do you mean by that?"
"I think someone is driving him somewhere or he's driving somewhere." Thor explained.
"Okay, but where is he driving to?" Mo asked.
"Uh... Hard to say right now..." Thor replied.
"Great," Cherry groaned. "First Lionel goes missing and now that pig."
"Oh, something just popped up," Thor soon said. "It looks like they're getting near City Hall, but they're not there yet."
"What would Drell be doing in City Hall?" Mo wondered.
"He's evil! I knew it!" Cherry called out. "He's just using us so he can take over the world with Darkseid and Lex Luthor!"
"There must be some reason he's going there." Atticus said.
"And he's not evil." Hilda told Cherry.
"Sleazy, unreliable, and a bit impulsive, but not evil." Zelda added shamelessly.
Hilda pouted at her sister who hid a small smirk.
"I hope you can find your friend and we can find the princesses with that device of yours." Jill said to the teenagers.
"Oh, we sure will." Atticus said.
"Little Red Riding Hood too hopefully," Mo smiled. "Wherever she might be."
"Knowing her, she's probably with The Wolf." Jack replied nervously.
"Oh, you poor dears," Zelda frowned. "I'm sorry you have to go through all this trouble."
"We better get to City Hall." Atticus said.
"What about dinner?" Thor asked.
"Thor... We're kind of on a mission of utmost importance here..." Cherry reminded.
"...What about dessert?" Thor then asked.
"I..." Hilda spoke up. "...Suppose we have time for a little dessert."
"And hot cocoa?" Thor smiled.
Hilda and Zelda paused.
"...All right, a quick cup of hot cocoa," Cherry said gently before going over the top. "THEN WE BETTER GET TO CITY HALL!"
"Somehow that last part almost sounded familiar." Patch said before shrugging.
They soon stopped to have some dessert and hot cocoa before they would move on out.
Meanwhile...
"That's City Hall," Snow White told the other princesses as they left the car with Drell who kept them company. "He wanted to invade and live like a king, but without his army, he was forced to worm his way into the local power structure. Here, he's Mayor. He's corrupted this city at every level; bankrupted it, building his secure penthouse on the top floor. He keeps the building staffed with security. He even has his own private SWAT Team. He rarely leaves the penthouse. If there's a way up, I haven't found it yet."
"What's next, Lex Luthor is elected President of the United States?" Drell scoffed at himself. "Luckily the kids should be protected from any brainwashing or mind-manipulation since I've given them a special protection spell in case anything were to come out since they're unlike many citizens in this town."
"That's good." Cinderella said.
"I have high confidence and trust in these kids, especially with my nephew there with them," Drell remarked. "Now to help you ladies get settled into this world and century. Your clothes are a little out of date as the young people say nowadays."
"He's right," Snow White agreed. "I'll get a collection of fashion magazines I've been saving up on to help them dress appropriately."
"Great." Drell said.
"City Hall is going to be a challenge too." Snow White said.
"I'm sure you can handle it," Drell replied. "You had to deal with that horrible Regina as your step-mother... I'm pretty sure that woman eats hearts and rips them right out of a victim's chest."
"It wouldn't surprise me." Snow White agreed.
Zelda soon drove her and Hilda's car with the kids in the back and the two adult witches in the front seat as they sped over to where Thor tracked his uncle down.
