Ella can choose to enter any scene of the story.

However, things never go as Ella planned. She steals the poisonous apple from the Queen’s room in 'Snow White'. Snow lives and becomes the queen. Unexpectedly, she is cruel to the people. In the meantime, her aunt finds out about the problems due to the content of all the fairy tale books being changed. This magic book controls all fairy tale books. The children who read 'Snow White' are so scared and can not stop crying. The poster of the 'Snow White' changes into a violent design also.

### scene 4 :

Ella feels afraid and avoids facing her mistakes. Aunt finds Ella , tries to persuade Ella to face her mistakes and fix these problems, but Ella refuses. Her aunt tells her what is happening to the current books content: Cinderella kills the stepmother and becomes a villian in the town. Pinocchio can not change into a real boy anymore. He is addicted to playing on Pleasure Island, and does not care that Geppetto is heartbroken at all. All of this is happening because of what Ella did.

### scene 5 :

Aunt keeps encouraging Ella to think about the children in the world. The fairy tale land will be saved if she finds the author Grimm and asks him to rewrite the stories, otherwise the children in the world won't be able to read the great stories again.

### scene 8 :
Ella found Grimm. Grimm was surprised to hear that Ella was free to go in and out of the fairy tale world. Grimm told her that he just collected these stories, but he could not rewrite them, only Ella with her special ability can help.
### scene 9 :
Ella finds that what she had done in the fairy tale world has also become part of the story (e.g. a thief has stolen the poison apple before Snow White met the Queen). New characters have been placed in the stories to perform the things Ella has done in the fairy tale world. Ella chose to enter the scene right before the scenes she messed up earlier and found ways to prevent the sequence of events that caused the chaos.

### scene 10 :
Finally Ella successfully restores all the characters in these stories to thier rightful story. Grimm witnessed this, and adapted it into a new story and recorded it in the book. The story of Princess Ella became another popular story in the new book.
