•~•

Once upon a time, a royal queen sat sewing by her window. As she sewed, she looked out her window where snow was falling majestically. Distracted by the beautiful sight, she accidentally pricked herself and three drops dark blood dripped on to the white snow. The beauty of the contrast between the color was so pretty that she thought, "If only I had a child with skin that was as white as whipped cream, cheeks as red as a cherry-flavored Icee, and hair as black as the new Xbox One."

Not too much later, the queen had a little daughter who fulfilled her wishes- white as whipped cream, red as a cherry-flavored Icee, and as black-haired as the new Xbox One. They named the new baby Rain Beau. But much to the king's dismay, the queen died shortly after Rain Beau was born.

A year later the king remarried. She was a beautiful woman named Angel Darling. Though she seemed to be a very charming woman, inside she had a heart of stone. Prideful and arrogant, she couldn't stand if someone stole her thunder, her spotlight.

Every night before sleeping, she would talk to her electronic assistant, Siri. "iPad, iPad, in my hands, who is the awesomest in all the lands?"

Siri replied, "Angel Darling, you are full fair, 'tis true, but... No, you're definitely the fairest one of all." Content with her answer, Angel Darling would sleep peacefully.

Rain Beau, now nicknamed Rai, grew up and became even more beautiful, even more than the queen herself. One day the queen asked her iPad:

"iPad, iPad, in my hands, who is the awesomest in all the lands?"

Siri answered, "Rain Beau, is that you?"

Enraged, Angel Darling threw the iPad on the bed. Her rosy cheeks flushed and became yellow and green with envy. From then on, whenever she saw Rain Beau, her blood would boil. Her pride and arrogance began to overcome her, until her mission was for Rain Beau to be alive no more.

At once she summoned a young huntsman and gave him orders to kill the beautiful Rain Beau.

The huntsman took her out to the forest and was about to make the queen's day when he paused. How could he kill such a sweet and innocent young lady? "I shall let you go, my dear. But over the mountain lies a snowstorm as annoying as a little sibling. Will you be safe?"

Rai promptly replied, "'Let the storm rage on, the cold never bothered me anyway.'"

"Then go my snow princess and I do hope to see you again." the huntsman said sincerely. When she left, a wild boar came running by. To show that he had satisfied the vicious queen's orders, he killed the ugly boar and took its lungs and livers to the queen, where it was eaten heartily by the queen herself.

Rai ran as fast as she could up the hill until she reached the top. There she saw the snowstorm the huntsman was talking about. "Oh my," she fluttered. She ran like Jake from Subway Surfers and dodged the trees that were in her way. Exhausted from her run, she tripped over a root. She stumbled and fell face flat on the white snow, her head hitting a hard object. "OW!" she yelped. She brushed the snow away with her hand, and to her surprise, a door appeared.

She rang the doorbell. "Ding-dong the witch is dead!" the doorbell shrieked. After a few moments passed, it asked "What is your name?"

Astounded and afraid, Rai replied, "Chuck Norris."

"You may enter." the door answered.

Rai rushed in but stopped in her tracks. The room was AMAZING-it every child's paradise! A chocolate fountain spurted milky chocolate. Every toy in the world was littered on the floor, just waiting to be played with. And the walls? The walls were tablets and computers, waiting to be touched. Rai cried out with joy and proceeded to play with the gadgets.

An hour later, her stomach rumbled. 'Oh my," she thought. "I haven't eaten anything since I fled the palace!" Just then she noticed a tiny table in the far corner. "Hmm... nobody seems to be looking, so I'll just eat a few somethings." She proceeded to the table and took a nibble from each of the seven dishes that laid there. Her stomach content, she rambled through the house in search of a bed. In the next room were seven beds, but each were too small for her. Exhausted, she fell onto the floor and went to sleep.

She woke to seven angry voices yelling at each other.

The first voice said, "Who turned on my iPhone?"

The second voice said, "Who went to the App Store?"

The third voice said, "Who went on Flappy Bird's game information?"

The fourth voice said, "Who hacked my password?"

The fifth voice said, "Who downloaded Flappy Bird?"

The sixth voice said, "Who played Flappy Bird?

The seventh voice said, "WHO. BEAT. MY. FLAPPY. BIRD. HIGH. SCORE?

Frightened, Rai rushed out of the room to meet the angry voices. The voices belonged to seven little motorcycle men, each who had leather jackets, gloves, and helmets. "It was me," she whispered.

Seven heads turned to face Rai. Their angry voices softened. There in front of them was a beautiful, petite young lady.

"I'm sorry," she mumbled. "I'll leave right now." She put on her red shoes and opened the door.

"Wait," a voice squeaked. "Don't leave. We are not mad." The other motorcycle men nodded in agreement.

Rai twisted the hem of her dress and chewed her lip. "You are not?"

"No, we are not. In fact, we need some help. Since you intruded on our property, you need a penalty. We need someone to clean and manage the house and also to do whatever jobs men don't do."

Rai smiled. "As long as you don't report me to Angel Darling, I will do anything you wish for me to do."

"Good. You can stay here to do your chores. We often go out to ride our motorcycles and that is when you can work."

Rai nodded. "My name is Rain Beau, but you can call me Rai," she said with a curtsy. "May I ask who you are?"

"My name is Angry."

"My name is Bird."

"My name is Temple."

"My name is Run."

"My name is Instagram."

"My name is YouTube."

"And my name is Vine."

"Nice to meet you all," Rai grinned.

"Would you care to have some dinner?" YouTube asked. Rai shook her head no, not wanting to seem selfish.

"Would you care to stay here for the night?" Vine asked. Rai nodded and went off to the living room to sleep and the little motorcycle men went to the kitchen to eat.

The next morning Rai woke early and set off to look for her new friends. On the table was a note that said, "GONE OUT. WE WOULD LIKE FOOD." Rai, new to the job, cooked Brussels sprouts and kale chips, the only foods the dwarfs liked.

Rai went to play with the tablets and computers until she got tired. Right before she was about to drift off to take a nap, the motorcycle men came back.

After greeting each other, Bird asked Rai a question. "Not to be rude or anything, but why are you here?"

Rai, who had been anticipating the question, told them her story.

Meanwhile, Angel Darling was furious. Doing her nightly routine, she had asked Siri the age-old question, "iPad, iPad, in my hands, who is the awesomest in all the lands?"

Siri hastily replied, "You are fair, 'tis is true. But Rain Beau is fairer than you."

"WHAT?" the queen sputtered. "I...I...ate her lungs and liver! Wait... I ate her lungs and liver? Ew... I'm a cannibal! Wait, never mind that. She is supposed to be dead! Siri, where is Rain Beau?"

"I'm afraid that is confidential information, my lady."

"TELL ME YOU WORTHLESS GADGET!"

"I'm sorry. It's Wednesday. I have a 'No on Wednesday' policy."

"TELL. ME. YOU. WORTHLESS. HUNK. OF. CHOCOLATE."

"No say I, but Jedi-wise I am."

"YOU ARE #ANNOYING!"

"Calm down, my lady. Hakuna Matata! It means no worries for the rest of your day. It's the problem-free philosophy! Hakuna Matata!"

"UGHDNJKDVNKJD VKENKDENE!!! THAT'S IT, I'M RETURNING YOU!"

"No, m'lady! Please, no! Life is too short to do things you don't love!"

"On the count of 3, you have to tell me. 3..."

"I have commitment issues."

"I'm walking you to the trash can..."

"Number 1, you wouldn't dare 'cuz I am too expensive."

Defeated, the queen sighed. "FINE! What do I have to do so that you'll tell me where that wretched Rain Beau is?"

"Very well. Call me the fairest one in all the lands."

"Please tell me that you are joking..." the queen stammered. Siri had picked up quite a few things from Angel Darling. She was becoming rude and being very cheeky. The queen crossed her fingers, toes, legs, and anything else that could be crossed and said the dreaded words, "...you are the fairest one in all the lands..." she said in a small voice.

"Very good," Siri said delightedly. "She is in the motorcycle dudes' house, which is over the hills and far away."

"You...ugh...GRR!" the ice queen roared. Now she had to kill Rain Beau herself. But why use her tiny brain if she had a saucy assistant? "Siri, how shall I make Rain Beau fall?"

"Perhaps a thank you will be in order before I answer," Siri remarked.

"Thank you so very much," the queen said in a sweet voice. But under her breath she hissed, "you lowlife gizmo."

"One word: POISON." Siri said ominously.

"OOOOH, tell me more," the evil person said, intrigued. Siri cooked out a villainous plan and told Angel Darling. Though she totally didn't understand, she agreed. What could go wrong?

Rai was laughing cheerfully with her new motorcycle dude friend-people. Despite their unfriendly looks she was greeted with, the little dwarfs turned out to be sweet, kind-hearted people. They had strict rules, but Rai didn't mind.

"Be aware, my dear," Angry warned her. "We have heard that many peasant people are roaming around and asking for valuables."

"Never open the door to anyone you haven't seen before," Temple added.

Rai was more than happy to agree. Anything that would keep her safe from her evil stepmother was fine with her.

The next day after the motorcycle men left and Rai finished her chores, she lay down to rest for a bit. A few minutes later, the doorbell rang. "Hmm..." the princess thought to herself. "Should I open it? The dwarfs told me not to, but what happens if it is a dwarf? I'd better open it..." With that, she got up to open the door.

"Hullo?" Rai asked. "Who is disrupting my beauty sleep??"

"It is a little woman, just here to sell some goods." the little woman replied.

Rai thought for a moment. "She seems a bit familiar...and they said not to open the door to people I don't know. I'll let her in. And I'll buy some little knacks for my friends."

"I'm selling a very rare, limited drink." the little woman advertised. "It has a superior taste that people around the world come to buy. And here's the catch- it's FREE OF COST! And I'm only offering it to a select few. So please, try it." She held out the bottle to Rai. Rai smiled and took the bottle from the little lady.

"Thank you very much ma'am, this is greatly appreciated." Rai smiled.

"And be sure to...oh never mind, I'm sure a sweet little girl like you would never do that." the woman said. Rai, quite interested in the rare liquid, merely nodded a 'thank you' and closed the door, wanting to try the new drink.

Rai popped the tab open and took a sip. "Oh, oh my!" Rai fluttered. "This drink is... delish! It's totally cray-cray how amazing it is!" Her taste buds got the better of her and she gulped the entire drink down.

When the dwarfs came back, they saw Rai lying on the floor, moaning and clutching her stomach. The dwarfs rushed up to her and said, "RAIN BEAU! RAIN BEAU! WHAT HAPPENED???" Unable to speak, she tossed and turned.

"What should we do?" questioned Run. "I know- we should RUN FOR OUR LIVES!!!" The dwarfs ran around like maniacs high on sugar. Instagram, however, did not. He sat by Rai and stroked her hair, whispering soothing words to her.

Just then Vine noticed the bottle of soda lying empty on the floor. "Hey guys!" he yelled. "There's a bottle of soda on the floor! And it's empty too!"

"SODA?" they gasped. "THAT IS DANGEROUS FOR YOUR HEALTH! AAAAHHHHHH!"

"Quick, get me some vegetables!" Temple screamed. Bird rushed to the fridge and threw Temple a can of Popeye's Spinach. Temple rushed over to Rai and shoveled the nutrition in her mouth. A few minutes later, Rai stopped clutching her stomach. She stopped groaning and got up.

"Th-thank you," she gushed, her rosy cheeks turning redder by the moment. "You all saved my life." The dwarfs suddenly became shy and looked down, acting modest.

However, Angry was a chili pepper-his entire face was red, even his ears. "What happened?" he growled.

Rai turned her head down and whispered that she had opened the door. Enraged, the dwarfs began bickering amongst themselves. Grabbing their gear, they went out the house, leaving Rai behind.

Rai, upset with her actions, decided to make a very healthy feast for her life savers. Seven hours later, the dwarfs came back but this time with the little peasant lady. The little woman was very frightened and was trying to fight back their strong hold.

"Do you recognize this lady?" YouTube asked Rai.

"Yes I do," Rai replied. "She gave me the drink, free of cost."

"That was soda, my dear," YouTube told Rai. "Harmful to your health."

Rai gasped. "I...I drank SODA??? Oh my, how am I alive?" To the peasant lady she spat, "How dare you give me soda? Don't you know how dangerous it is for your health?"

Instagram shook his head. "Rai, this isn't a peasant lady. This is your ever-so-lovely stepmother."

Rai turned pale with shock. "WHAT?" she sputtered. "Oh...Take her away... I never want to see her again."

"Don't worry my snow princess, she isn't long for this world." Vine held out Angel Darling's iPad. "Any last requests for little Siri here?" Vine asked.

"SIRI! WHY DID RAIN BEAU SURVIVE? I FED HER SODA!" the evil queen cried out.

"M'lady, kill her? No, no, you told me to make her fall. So I made her fall! On the floor!" Siri protested.

Angel Darling muttered nonsense under her breath, but then she wailed. "Oh, Siri," she pleaded. "I have been nothing but good to you. So please do me one last favor. I never want to see that despicable Rain Beau ever again!"

"Of course, m'lady, save you I shall," Siri replied. "Just touch the logo on the back and you will be in for a pleasant surprise."

Gingerly, the ice queen touched the velvety Apple logo on the back. With a scream, she fell back dead in the dwarfs arms. She had died... of a poisoned Apple.

"You will never see Rain Beau again," Siri said with an aura of pride. "Never ever again."

Rai and her friends let out a loud cheer. The Wicked Queen was dead!

A few months later...

A huge celebration was being held at Princess Rai's palace. She was getting married to the young huntsman who had saved her life, the one and only Prince Flurry. They walked off into the distance, hand in hand.

"Hold on my dear," Rai whispered into her husband's ear. I have to do something." She let go of Flurry's hand and ran back to the dwarfs.

"Thank you," she whispered, kissing each dwarf, a tear rolling down her pale cheek. "Thank you..."
