Cinderella III Alternate Timeline Consequences

Right, so we all know that time traveling has consequences. Well, after finishing Cinderella III: Twist in Time, my sister Fiona and I both asked the question: What happened to the fairy godmother? If she was turned to stone in the original timeline, then shouldn't the alternate one be completely messed up somehow? So we made some diagrams to make this a little clearer. We can boil down each timeline into 3 significant parts. In the original timeline, the significant parts (at least in relation to the time twist in the third movie) are the Fairy Intervention, Cinderella Fits the Slipper (which is screwed up in the alternate timeline), and the Time Twist itself. In the Alternate Timeline, the Fairy had already helped Cinderella, effectively eliminating her from the picture anyway, since the only thing she did after that was show up at the wedding. This is fortunate, because she isn't there when Cinderella watches the slipper fit Anastasia, as that would have messed up everything. So, the 3 most important parts in the Alternate timeline are: the Fairy Intervention, the Anastasia slipper wearing, and the end where Everyone Gets What they Deserve. Lets break that down into simpler timelines. In the original timeline, A leads to B, which ends up in Cinderella's marriage. That leads to the vengeful stepmother creating C, which reversed Cinderella's past to just before point B, which then changed to point D. Remember, the Stepmother reversed time to when Cinderella would have put on the slipper and been proclaimed princess. This means that the fairy godmother has already played her significant part in Cinderella's tale, and isn't seen again 'til the wedding. Since the Stepmother and "evil" stepsisters didn't encounter copies of themselves when they transported into the alternate timeline, we can only assume that the Fairy Godmother wouldn't have either, and since she shows up later in the movie (around E) we can assume that she was also transported into the alternate timeline, if at a different place. This would mean that from point D, the Fairy Godmother as we knew her in the original timeline ceased to exist and was replaced with the one encased in stone. Eventually, someone found the statue and thought to move it into the throne room where Anastasia would marry the prince. Or perhaps it just appeared in the room and no one thought anything of it.
