A/N: This story takes place after each of the movies. This is only based off the Disney movies, not any of the original stories.

Snow White liked picking flowers. She didn't get a lot of time to herself and it was the one time she could have some quiet and just think. Her husband's father was very sick. Soon, he would pass and it would be time for the prince to become the new king, and Snow White would be queen. Snow White tried to pick flowers for the King everyday; they brightened up his room just a bit, and he told her they made him happy. Since she would soon be queen, Snow White was supposed to be spending more time among her people. Instead, she spent more time with the King. Her parents died when she was very young, and her step mother tried killing her not long ago. The King had been very kind to her and was the only real parent she'd had since she was a little girl. She loved the King very much, and was heart-broken to see him so sick.

One day, as the sun was setting, Snow White was out picking flowers for her father-in-law. She had spent the entire day with him, but he was now asleep. She wanted to pick beautiful flowers to leave by his bed and greet him when he woke up in the morning. She left the castle grounds to a clearing at the bottom of the hill. She could still see the castle, but no one from the castle would be able to see her. It would be dark soon, so Snow White tried to hurry.

Suddenly, she was grabbed from behind. It was a big man. He had one arm wrapped around her body, and the other hand over her mouth. She struggled, but he was a lot stronger than her. A lady appeared in front of her. She didn't look much older than Snow White, but her eyes seemed tired and made her look older. She was very pale and had long blond hair. Snow White had never seen her before. She didn't say a word, just motioned for the man to follow her.

"Skyla, stop!"

Snow White didn't recognize the voice, but the lady stopped, and she was relieved. The lady turned around and smiled. Another woman materialized before them. Snow White's eyes grew wide; she was a ghost. She tried struggling to get away again, but the man just laughed.

"Skyla, this is between us. It has nothing to do with Princess Snow White," the ghost said.

Skyla shook her head. "This would be between us if you were still alive. But, alas, you are not, so I have to settle for the princess."

The ghost turned to Snow White. "I can't do anything for you now, but we will save you."

"I'm counting on that, Heidi," Skyla said. "I will put an end to all of your bloodlines."

With that, the witch vanished with Snow White. Heidi immediately sought out the spirits of her friends. They too were watching over this generation of their family. She told them about Skyla taking Snow White, and how it was time to bring together the other girls.

They each appeared before the women of this generation and explained everything to them.

Jasmine stared at Dessa as she explained everything to her. After she told Jasmine about Snow White, Jasmine agreed to help. She and Aladdin always seemed to be helping someone in danger, and Snow White was no different. Jasmine told Aladdin what she had been told.

"I'll be gone for a while," Jasmine said. "I don't know how long exactly."

Aladdin took her hands. "I'm coming with you."

"You can't," Dessa said. "This is something she has to do on her own."

Aladdin nodded. "Be careful."

"I will." Jasmine kissed Aladdin goodbye, then mounted her horse and rode off to the meeting place.

Ariel had just been drawing a bath when Marine suddenly appeared in her tub and introduced herself. She jumped back, knocking into the sink. A bottle of perfume smashed on the floor and there was immediately a tap on the door.

"Miss Ariel, are you all right?" It was one of the servants.

"Y-Yes, I'm fine," Ariel replied.

Ariel knew of Marine. Her father said Marine was the only mermaid in their family to be blessed by the sorceress. She had also been told that Marine lost her magic, but no one knew how or why. When Ariel asked her what happened, Marine told her the whole story.

"Now you must go and help the others save Snow White and stop the witch," Marine concluded.

Ariel suddenly remembered Ursula. She had been up against a witch before, and knew it was difficult to stop them. If Eric hadn't been there, Ariel would not have survived.

"I don't think I can," Ariel whispered.

"You have to, Ariel. Since I'm the one who actually trapped her, Skyla will want you most of all." Marine paused. "She will kill the other girls to get to you."

A lump formed in Ariel's throat, and she wanted to cry. This was too much for her, she was only seventeen. But she saw the pleading look in Marine's eyes and knew she couldn't be responsible for the death of eight people, even if she didn't know them. She quickly got dressed, told Eric she needed to leave for a while and not to worry, then left before he could protest.

The more Bernadette explained the more excited Belle got. After the Beast turned back into Prince Adam, Belle had been stuck in the castle. She was isolated from the rest of the world, and had been longing for an adventure. Though she felt for Snow White, Belle just could not contain her enthusiasm.

The excitement was cut short, though, when Bernadette said, "You have to tell someone you're leaving and not to follow you."

Belle's heart sank. She didn't want to tell Adam. There's no way he'd let her go. He wanted her to stay in the castle so he could protect her. From what, she didn't know. But, she knew chasing after a ghost and a witch would not be something he'd approve of.

She found Adam sitting in his favorite chair in front of the fireplace, and she stood in front of him.

"Darling, something has come up with my family, and I must leave for a while," Belle told him.

Adam looked concerned. "Is everything all right?"

"Yes."

Adam stood up. "I'll come with you."

"No!" Belle said quickly. "I should go alone."

"Belle, you know how I feel about you wandering off alone. I'm coming with you."

"This is something I have to do alone."

Adam frowned. "Either I go with you, or you stay here."

"Adam, I am not your prisoner anymore. You can't keep me here," Belle snapped. She immediately regretted what she said. "I'm sorry. I'll only be gone a few weeks. But I will return to you."

"Don't bother." Adam stormed out of the room.

Belle sighed. She grabbed a piece of paper and a pen and left Adam a note.

"I love you. Belle."

Rapunzel stood on the balcony, looking out at the water.

"Rapunzel?"

Rapunzel turned around and gasped when she saw a woman she didn't know standing behind her. She ran back into her bedroom and grabbed her frying pan.

"Rapunzel, don't be afraid-"

Rapunzel swung the frying pan, but it just went right through the woman. Her mouth dropped, and she lowered the frying pan.

"My name is Vita, and I need your help." Vita told Rapunzel the story.

Rapunzel backed away from Vita. "No!" Remembering Eugene was in the room sleeping, Rapunzel lowered her voice. "No way. I'm not going with you. Now, leave."

"You don't understand-"

"I said leave." Rapunzel tried sounding brave and confident. She wasn't sure if she succeeded.

"I'm not going anywhere until you listen to me."

Rapunzel held the frying pan out in front of her.

"I'm just a spirit, Rapunzel, you can't do anything to me."

Rapunzel hesitated, but then set the frying pan down.

"I know you're scared. But Skyla will come after you no matter what. It's best to go to her, or she'll come here and everyone you love will be in danger; your mother and your father. Eugene. She won't stop until you're dead, and she doesn't care who she has to hurt to get you."

Rapunzel sat down on the bed and gently woke up Eugene. He smiled at her, and she had to fight back her tears.

"Eugene, I have to go away for a while."

Eugene sat up. "Rapunzel, what's wrong?"

Rapunzel told him exactly what Vita had told her. Eugene got out of bed. When he saw Vita, he stumbled back.

"Let me just get ready," Eugene stammered.

Rapunzel put her hand on his shoulder. "Eugene, I have to do this alone."

Eugene looked at Vita, then back at Rapunzel. "Are you sure?" he asked.

"Yes." Rapunzel ran her fingers through Eugene's hair, and then kissed him.

She started to walk out of the room, then turned and ran back to Eugene. He picked her up and kissed her again.

"I love you so much, Eugene," Rapunzel said.

"I love you, too," he responded. "I'll miss you."

Rapunzel picked up a photograph of the two of them. "I'll miss you, too."

Eugene walked Rapunzel outside. She kissed him again, then turned and left.

Esmeralda rubbed her temples as Juliette pleaded for her help. Esmeralda wondered why she was being punished. It had only been a week since the night Frollo died; only a week since she was almost burned at the stake. Things were just starting to calm down, and she was finally able to relax for the first time in her life. Now, this ghost shows up and begs her to save some princess she's never met. Esmeralda found herself cursing Marine. Why did she have to burden us with this? Esmeralda thought.

But, though Esmeralda was exhausted, she agreed to help. Since it was so late, she told Juliette to come back in the morning and she would leave then. Juliette agreed and vanished. Esmeralda got back into bed and lied down next to Phoebus, who had been awake the whole time and heard everything.

"Helping other people is something I've always admired about you," Phoebus said as she rested her head on his chest. "But, do you really think this is a good idea?"

"You heard her; if I don't go she'll just come looking for me and that will put you in danger."

"I was captain of the guard, Esmeralda. I can take care of myself," Phoebus stated.

"Skyla is a witch. You've never fought against anything like that before." Esmeralda ran her hand through her hair, brushing it off her face. "I won't take a chance with your life."

Pocahontas was not at all surprised to see Tala when she appeared in front of her; she had felt Tala's presence around her ever since she was little. However, she was shocked at what Tala told her.

"I can't just leave," Pocahontas said. "I'm needed here."

"Pocahontas, your entire tribe will be in danger if you don't come. You'll be protecting your people."

Pocahontas thought about John Smith. It hadn't been long since he left, and she missed him very much. Lately, all she's been doing is sitting around at the spot where they first met. Maybe a change of scenery was exactly what she needed, though the circumstance wasn't ideal. Pocahontas agreed, and left with Tala.

The ghost of a woman was standing at the end of Aurora's bed when she woke up. Frightened, Aurora tried waking up Philip. Unfortunately, Philip was a heavy sleeper and just groaned in his sleep. Aurora sat up and pulled the blanket up to her chin.

"Wh-Who are you?" She asked.

Tomasa kept her distance from Aurora, and explained everything to her in a soothing voice. After the story, Aurora looked even more scared.

"I'm not going with you!" Aurora lied back down and pulled the blanket over her head.

"Aurora?" Tomasa whispered.

Aurora slowly pulled the blanket down so it was just under her eyes. Tomasa was now eye-level with her.

"Aurora, please. My spirit has to stay earth-bound until Skyla has been defeated. I've been here for over 200 years, and I want to leave. I haven't seen my family since they died. I miss them so much. I can't be with them again without your help," Tomasa pleaded.

"What if I fail?" Aurora asked.

"You won't. You'll have seven other girls there to help you."

Aurora didn't feel any better about this. But, she couldn't imagine being trapped somewhere for 200 years and not being able to see Philip or her parents. She felt so bad for Tomasa. Though she knew she would regret it, Aurora told Tomasa she would help. Tomasa thanked her and said she would be back in the morning. Aurora rolled over and cuddled up close to Philip, not knowing whether or not she would ever get to sleep next to him again.

Meg lied awake, as she did every night. Hercules wasn't around much anymore. He continued fighting monsters, and being a hero made him the most famous man in the country. He was constantly traveling around, and Meg never knew when he would be back home. She had asked to go with him, but he said it was too dangerous. So, Meg stayed home alone every day. She actually found herself thinking about Pain and Panic. She didn't particularly like the demons, but even their company was better than being lonely.

So, when Electra showed up and told Meg she needed to leave with her to help seven other girls rescue a princess, she agreed before Electra could even finish explaining everything. Meg told her she would leave that night, so she didn't have to sleep alone again. She didn't think Hercules would be back before her, or even if he was that he'd even notice she was gone, but she left him a note anyway. Happy to be out of the house and with another person (even if that person was a ghost), brought life back into Meg and she finally felt like her old self again; the person she was before she moved in with Hercules. Ever since she was crushed by the pillar, he treated her like she was a porcelain doll and never let her leave the house without him or Phil with her. She actually had more freedom with Hades…
