The next day, the Queen had auditions to see who would be her next beautician. I definitely was going to audition. I wasn't surprised to see all of the people there. There were mostly females, but I saw a few males here and there. After waiting for literally seven hours, I was next. " it's show time," I thought in my head. For I knew I had to impress her to get .this job. "Miss, a---," The Queen's royal announcer was fumbling through papers to find my name. "Ah , yes, Miss Evie Queen, please choose one of these beauty objects on the table and demonstrate what to do on this here mannequin." he said sounding very bored. "Yes, sir," I said in sort of a whisper. I didn't know which one to choose. There must have been hundreds of beauty supplies for me to choose from. I finally decided what to pick after I scanned the supplies. I grabbed the most beautiful lipstick

I had ever seen. It was so red it almost looked like blood. I applied it to the mannequin very carefully knowing that if I make one little mistake, I was out. Once I was done the Queen starred at me with a curious expression on her face. Then finally she spoke. I have never heard the Queen speak but I was surprised when she did. "Miss Queen, why did you pick that lipstick?" she said with her very, calm and curious voice. "I don't know, I guess it stood out to me the most," I said hoping that was the explanation she was looking for. "Thank you, you may go," she said with a smile. I couldn't tell if she was smiling because she liked me, or if she was smiling because she had one less person to interview. I was so disappointed. I thought she would choose me right away. Maybe I wasn't fit for this particular job.

The crier took me to the castle faster than I could have flown. I immediately got to work. The Queen came in to see what I was working on. Honestly, I wasn't really working on anything, I was just pretending. I mean I didn't know what to do. If you were to see this room, you wouldn't believe your eyes. I think she has more beauty products that all of the stores in our village. "Evie, do my hair," the Queen demanded. Even though she didn't say please, I didn't take it personally. I probably would do the same if I had servants waiting on me hand and foot. "Yes your grace," I replied quietly. '"Do speak up, I can hardly hear you," she exclaimed. "Yes your grace," I said a little louder. I started on her medium length black hair. It was the smoothest thing I've ever touched in my entire life! I couldn't

believe this was her actual hair. I would do anything to have her hair. "Evie, I want to get to know you since you're going to be here forever," she demanded. I didn't really think about being here forever, but I was happy she wanted to get to know a^ ' peasant girl like me. "What do you want to know?" I asked. "Everything," she said "Everything? Well, urn, where do I start? My life isn't very exciting." "Oh? What about your ancestors? Are there any exciting stories about them?" "Well, my mom owned her own cosmetics shop. My dad was a farmer, my-" "Where are your parents?" she said cutting me off. "They have passed away, your grace," I whispered sadly.

"Do tell me what it is, your grace," I asked hoping I wouldn't get thrown in the dungeon for asking her such a' personal question. "Okay ify~u really must know. My grandma's name was Snow White. She was such a beautiful girl. With her ruby red lips, and her pale, snow skin. She was a princess. Her mother was Queen but past away along with her father. She was left with her evil stepmother. Her evil stepmother wanted Snow White killed because she wanted to be the most beautiful and fairest one of all. The Evil Queen sent her huntsman to kill her in the woods. He couldn't do it of course, because the huntsman was a very good man. He told her to run away as fast as she could as far away from the Queen as possible. She ran far, far, far away until she found a little cottage. She went inside to see if she could take shelter there for the night. She didn't find anyone there, so she thought it was a nice place to sleep. After cleaning

up a little bit, she took a nap upstairs in some very tiny beds. When she awoke she found seven dwarfs hovering over her. They were very nice to her, and let her stay as long as she cleaned and cooked for them. Snow White made seven tiny, new friends that day." "Do you remember the huntsman?" the Queen asked. "Yes. What happened to him?" I asked. "The huntsman brought back the insides of a pig and faked them for Snow Whites. At first the Evil Queen believed him, but she soon found out that^ .. wasn't true. She made a plan to find Snow White and get rid of her herself with a poison apple. The Evil Queen' whipped up a disguise faster than you could say "apple pie." She found Snow White with the help of her magical mirror and sought out to give her the poison apple. She found the cottage and peeked through the window. She found Snow White cleaning for the dwarfs to surprise them when they got
