Flashback!
    Rosabella Beauty was walking in the forest as she held her all time favorite book, Her Handsome Hero, close to her. Her Handsome Hero is a story about compassion and forgiveness that centers around a hero named Gideon. It waa getting dark and she was walking deeper and deeper. She heard something, causing her to stop. "Who's there?" Rosabella asked as she looked around. No one was there so she kept walking. She jumped when her Mirror Phone started ringing. She took it out of her purse and looked at the caller ID. Briar Beauty. She smiled as she answered it. "Hey." Rosabella greeted. "Hi, Rose. My dear cousin." Briat greeted and Rosabella laughed. Rose is her nickname that only certain people can call her. Belle, her mom. Adam, her dad, formerly known as the Beast. Briar. Aurora, Briar's mom. Phillip, Briar's dad. Those are the only people. "Is everything okay?" Rosabella asked. "Yeah, I just wanted to know where you are. I can pick you up and we can do dinner." Briar replied and Rosabella stopped as she sighed and looked around. "That's the thing, I don't exactly know where I am." Rosabella replied. "What do you mean, Rosie?" Briar asked confused. "I deep in the dark forest." Rosabella replied and Briar gasped. "What? Why are you there of all places?" Briar asked and Rosabella sighed. "I don't know. It-it was an accident. I was walking to Ginger's place in the Enchanted Forest and I thought I heard something.... Like a wolf, or-or something. I tried running deeper into the Enchanted Forest, but it got in front of me and I ran backwards. I ran into the dark forest to get away, and I've been lost ever since." Rosabella explained and Briar sighed. "Don't move. I'll come find you." Briar stated and Rosabella shook her head. "No, you'll get lost too." Rosabella stated. "No, I'm bringing an expert of the woods. Trust me." Briar reassured and Rosabella sighed. "Okay." Rosabella agreed and Briar smiled. "Okay, be there in a bit." Briar stated and hung up. Rosabella sighed. She walked closer to a tree and was about to sit when something jumped her in the woods. Making her fly and hit the ground with something big ontop of her.

Real World!
      Pheobe and her older twin sister, Hope, work at a hair salon. Hope actually is the one who owns it, and Pheobe works there. Pheobe is taking over while Hope is in a coma. It's a slow day, so she was behind the counter reading a magazine. The work phone started ringing, so she put the magazine down on the counter. Pheobe picked up the phone and put it up to her ear. "Twins Hair Salon. How may I help you?" Pheobe asked. "It's Cecelia." Cecelia replied. Pheobe straightened up and got worried. "Is my sister okay?" Pheobe asked as her heart started racing and tears formed in her eyes. "Yeah, better then okay.... Pheobs, she's awake." Cecelia stated. Pheobe grinned and let out a laugh as tears fell down her cheeks, bit they were happy tears. "Oh my.... Thank you so much. I'll be right there." Pheobe stated and ahe hung up. She just sat there for a moment. Relieved and happy. She grabbed her purse and went to the door. She turned off the lights and changed the open sign to close. She walked out and locked the door behind her. Then she drove away in her car, excited to see her older twin sister again.
     Briar walked into the library and smiled when she saw her cousin behind the counter reading her favorite book, Her Handsome Hero. Regina, also known as Rosabella Beauty, was so into the book that she didn't even notice her cousin walking in. "Reading that book again?" Brittany asked. Regina jumped and looked up. She smiled when she saw her cousin. She put her bookmark in her book, closed it, and moved it to the side. "You know how much I love this book." Regina replied and Brittany laughed. "I haven't noticed." Brittany stated sarcastically and Regina laughed as Brittany walked closer to her. "Wanna go to lunch?" Brittany asked and Regina nodded. "Yeah. I need to let Gisele borrow Her Handsome Hero. I have been telling her how great it is and now she's intrigued." Regina replied with a smirk as she walked out from behind the counter. "I thought you don't let anyone touch that book, not even me." Brittany stated. "First of all, you don't like to read." Regina stated and Brittany nodded. "Good point." Brittany stated. "And second of all, I'm letting her borrow the library's copy. No one can borrow my copy." Regina replied with a smile and Brittany laughed. Regina grabbed the library's copy and then they went to Madness Bed and Breakfast to eat.
