During the events of Are You Afraid of the Dark?: Season 2 Episode 1 The Tale of the Final Wish played by Samantha Chemerika

The Princess Witch offers an apple to someone and then transforms into a witch and says if they don't eat it, she will force them to eat it. Jill wakes up from her dream and as she is about to get up to get some water, she grabs a baseball bat and checks under her bed. She gets water but doesn't check under her bed before getting back into bed and two arms come from under her bed and grab her legs. She runs to Mrs. Petterson and Mr. Petterson's bedroom and tells them that something under her bed grabbed her. She drags Mrs. Petterson and Mr. Petterson into her bedroom and when Mr. Petterson checks under her bed, he acts like something grabs him and then pulls out a plate of food from last week. Jon walks to Jill's room and asks what is going on and Mrs. Petterson tells him that Jill had a nightmare. Jill insists there was something under her bed, and after Mr. and Mrs. Petterson leave, Jon tells Jill that he grabbed her and laughs. He then tells her to grow up and stop acting like a kid.

Jill is late getting ready, and Mrs. Petterson is forced to drive her to school again. Mrs. Petterson tells her that she is going to have to learn some responsibility and people are getting tired of her childishness. At the library, Jill returns to her and Jill's Friends their table and Rick walks over to Jill and asks her if she has the reading assignment from class. Jill's Friends get jealous and pull out the fairy tale books that Jill was borrowing and then show Rick the Troll doll in Jill's backpack. Rick says he used to play with Troll dolls when he was a kid and Jill runs away.

Jill has a dream that Rick comes to her bed and then wakes up to Jon wearing a Halloween mask. Jill screams and then tells Jon that she hates him. Jill walks over to her window and wishes that she lived in a world where dreams come true and that everyone would leave her alone. Jill wakes up during the night and at first thinks she sees Jon, but then he disappears, she goes into Mrs. and Mr. Petterson's bedroom, and they have also disappeared. She goes back into her bedroom and hears a noise from under her bed. She peaks under her bed and The Sandman says hello and Jill is sucked under her bed into another realm. She walks around the realm, which is full of large clocks and finds people floating in the air, asleep. She enters a door and meets The Sandman. He tells her that she is in the Land of Nod where everyone goes to dream, and he is The Sandman. Jill tells him that she doesn't believe him, and he tells her that it is what she wished for. The Sandman tells Jill that she is in her own fairy tale. Jill asks to go home, but The Sandman tells her she can't and that her family is there, but they won't bother her anymore. Jill says she wants to go home again and then runs away. She runs back to where she first entered the Land of Nod and finds another door.

She enters the door and finds a room full of doors and The Sandman tells her that the doors lead to other fairy tales. She opens a door and The Red Queen is inside the room holding a large axe and Jill closes the door. She opens another door and The Sugar House Witch says she was expecting Hansel and Gretel, but Jill will do nicely. Jill closes that door and enters another door and enters a room where her friend Stacy, Rick, Jon and Mrs. and Mr. Petterson are asleep, and she tries to wake them up. The Sandman laughs and Jill says that it isn't what she wished for. Jill yells that she wants to go home again and threatens to break a large hourglass. The Sandman appears and tells her to put it down and tells her that her fairy tale can't be changed. The Sandman threatens to put Jill asleep forever like the others and Jill realizes she can change her fairy tale. She smashes the hourglass and wakes up back in her bedroom screaming. Mrs. and Mr. Petterson check on her and Jill tells them that she is going to give up dreaming of fairy tales.
