Harper Gallagher is the shyest Gallagher sibling but also the best friend of Mickey Milkovich. When Emma Swan was sent to the real world as a baby she was adopted by Frank and Monica Gallagher. She was referred as Fiona's twin to others outside the...
"It's wonderful. Thank you." Felix answered before he noticed the TV. "What's that?"
"That is a TV where you can watch movies or shows. Which reminds me. I need to get the Lost Boys, Wendy and Tinker to watch the Disney movies." Harper said. "You know what David, find the Lost Boys. Emma go find Tinker and Henry I need you to go find Wendy and her brothers."
The three nodded before walking out. Harper gets straight to work making the living room a fort to watch movies in. Felix helped her which made Harper thankful.
"Thank you Felix. Go shower and there are some clothes set out for you on your bed and in the wardrobe." Harper told him.
"Thank you, Harper." Felix said before leaving to do as Harper told him.
She then decides to make a home theater with her magic. She closed her eyes before thinking of a movie theater. When she opened her eyes she saw a big enough couch to fit the ones coming and the TV with movies underneath it.

Harper quickly walks to her room to change into something comfortable. She walks out before gathering snacks for them to eat. She puts them on the table in front of the couch. She makes sure everything is ready before she hears footsteps. She looks up to see Felix walking out drying his hair.

"Sit wherever you like." Harper told him.
Felix only nods before picking the side of the couch as there was a knock on the door.
"Come in." Harper called out and Emma, David, Henry and mostly everyone in Storybook file in. "Just pick a spot to sit."
Everyone does so as they all talk quietly amongst themselves. She then walks back in and everyone went quiet.
"I only told Emma, David and Henry to go get the Lost Boys, Wendy and Tinker. But since everyone is here. We can watch all your movies. But before we start. I'd like to say it's how people view the fairytale. There is a morbid version and then there are your versions. In the movie versions, the good guys always have their happy endings." Harper explained. "I also made a list of the order of how the movies came out. Any questions?"
"How many are there?" Wendy asks.
"Over a hundred. Because Disney decides to keep making more." Harper answered.
"Next question, can we vote or do we just go off the list?" Tinker asks.
"We can do whichever sounds easier." Harper answered.
"Why is he here?" Regina asks, pointing towards Felix who looked down.
"He's been transported here. I suggested to Emma and David that since I've gotten this apartment I need a roommate and since he's the only one who doesn't have an actual place to stay that Felix should be here instead of the small cell." Harper answered. "Okay, no more questions."
No one answered making Harper smile.
Here's the list. I made copies just in case." Harper said as she handed out the lists.
She let everyone have a bit of time looking through the list.
"We can always just go down the list." David said.
"We can do that." Harper said grabbing the movie, putting the disk in before she sits down next to Felix.
Henry jumped up next to her and leaned against her.
"Wait, what's the morbid version?" Regina asks.
"Well, before the movie actually starts. I can always explain the morbid versions. But the younger children have to wear these headphones so they hear the more clean version of how to explain it." Harper said giving the younger children headphones.
They take them and press a small button on the headphones that start explaining the origin of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves in a less morbid version.
"I'm so sorry for what you are about to hear, Mary and David." Harper told the couple.
"It will be okay, Harper." Mary told her.
"Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is one of the most famous (and appreciated) fairy tales in the world, first related in 1812 when the Grimm brothers published their collection of tales that had been gathered from old European folk stories. Like many of the Grimm tales, it is supposed that Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs has been in existence since the Middle Ages, passed down through word-of-mouth over the centuries. The version that is universally told today is the most “digestible” by a non-adult audience, and in 1937, Walt Disney’s animated feature film popularized the story worldwide.
Yes, Snow White, the sweet story of an innocent young beauty who is banished by a vain, cruel, and jealous stepmother and who, with the help of seven lovable dwarfs, ultimately finds her everlasting true love. The story beloved by generations of children.
However, the 1812 fairy tale is very different from what we all know, a story which was a lot more, well, grim. In short, the stepmother is actually Snow White’s mother, who is only seven years old, and wants to have her killed to eat her liver and lungs with salt and pepper. “Kill her, and as proof that she is dead bring her lungs and liver back to me.” He kills a boar instead, and brings back to the Queen the boar’s lungs and liver—which the Queen thinks belongs to Snow White and so promptly eats. The prince knows her in the glass coffin at an unspecified moment of the girl’s age, who is awakened by the apple poison not by a man’s kiss, but by the tugging of the servants, tired of seeing the prince angry because of love necrophile for the girl’s corpse. The evil queen finally dies killed in revenge by Snow White and the Prince, who invite her to their wedding and force her to wear red-hot iron shoes, which first burn her feet and then force her to dance until she falls dead from exhaustion. As the Grimm Brothers wrote: “They put a pair of iron shoes into burning coals. They were brought forth with tongs and placed before her. She was forced to step into the red-hot shoes and dance until she fell down dead.” And you can see why Disney wanted to clean up that unsavory image." Harper said causing the adults in the room to gasp.
"That is horrible." Mary said.
"There are multiple different stories. But that is one of the ones I know of." Harper told her.
That's when the children took off the headphones.
"Let's just watch the movie." Wendy said.
"Agreed." Tinker said before Harper presses start.
