Snow White
Snow White was having a splendid afternoon cleaning the dwarfs' house until she was suddenly in the woods. She was just about to give orders to her animal helpers, when suddenly she was in the middle of the woods. She looked down at the basket she was holding and frowned. She wore a red cape and found it weird and uncomfortable.
She started walking and came upon a furry bush. Wait a minute... Snow White nearly screamed when a giant wolf man stood up.
"Thanks Red," the wolf whispered, then he said, "My, My, My. What have we here?"
"I am going to my grandmother's house, because she is sick," Snow responded and frowned. The wolf man licked his lips.
"How about some lovely flowers for your grandma?" he suggested, gesturing towards a flower patch. Snow/Red happily agreed. She sat down and began to pick flowers.
"Where does your grandmother live?" the wolf man asked.
Lie
"Down at the end of the path," Snow/Red said the truth. Snow White was horrified. Why would she do that? Snow/Red continued, telling the wolf man exactly how to get there. Snow White tried to stop herself multiple times, but it was like she wasn't in control of her own body.
Soon the wolf was gone, headed for grandmother's house. (What a surprise for her!) Snow White stood and inched away. When she was sure the wolf was gone, she made a dash towards the woods, and didn't stop running until she came upon a brick tower that seemed to touch the clouds. She squinted and made out the shape of a girl in the tower. Long brown braids dwindled down, so far that it touched the ground and traveled into the woods a bit.
Snow ran forward to see the girl better. The girl looked down at her and smiled. She swung her legs over the sill, grabbed a braid, and shimmied down. When the girl touched the ground she sprinted over to her and stretched.
"Ugh, it's been forever since I left that," the girl indicated at the tower. "I guess you're wondering who I am. My name is Little Red Riding Hood, Red for short," Red added. Snow White remembered the wolf calling her Red and realized that she just switched to a different story.
"A wolf, man, thing has gone after your grandma," Snow noted, expecting Red to burst into tears and beg Snow to help save her. But Red just sighed and asked:
"Who are you?"
"Aren't you worried about your grandma?"
"No. Who are you?"
"You're not worried about your grandma! What kind of granddaughter are you?!"
"Who. Are. You?" Red asked, through gritted teeth that suddenly look like fangs. Red's eyes suddenly narrowed and the eye color went yellow. Snow gulped.
"Snow White," she peeped. Red went back to normal and nodded. Then she grabbed Snow's hand and made a break for the woods.
"Where are we going?" Snow gasped, every once and a while tripping on rocks and stones.
"To find my friend," Red replied.
Rapunzel
Rapunzel was sick of cleaning the massive house over and over and OVER again. Just sick, sick, SICK of it! She looked at the window and for a second saw Red. Must be my imagination, she thought glumly. She sighed and walked over to the window and threw it open, spraying dust into the air.
Suddenly, fingers latched onto the sill. Rapunzel jumped back. She slowly inched forward and looked down to see Red and a girl with a pale face, sparkling blue eyes, blood red lips, and short-cropped black hair, trying to get inside. Rapunzel smiled and jumped out the window.
"Boy, am I glad to see you!" she cried and hugs Red. She turned to the other girl. "Who's she?" Rapunzel asked, pointing at her.
"First of all, " Red said, "it's rude to point. Second, this is Snow White," the girl curtsied. "And third, who did-"
"A girl named Cinderella or Cindy," Rapunzel interrupted. Red nodded.
"Snow?" Red suddenly asked.
"Yeah?"
Red smiled mischievously.
"Where do you live?"
