And the king's guards chased her off and that's why her shoe was left on the stairs. Then the king did a search throughout his kingdom (didn't want his son marrying his enemy's daughter) and Cinderella was the only one that fit the shoe. I wonder what would happen?

 

[lassassin]

The night was perfect for a ball. Not a cloud in the sky and the stars shined brighter than the night before. It didn't matter for Quincy though. Tonight, he thought, was agony. He had to stay cooped up in the palace and greet each person as they approached, mostly women. He was tired of all the ladies trying, none of them interested him. Not until Teresa.


She entered the ball room with delicate steps. Her vanilla white gown fitting her, every which way. She captured everyone's attention and that's what she loved about balls. Especially if it's her father's enemies ball. Quincy approached her, extending a hand to her. Teresa took one look over him, deemed him good enough and took his offer to dance.


They both glided across the floor and into the garden, where the king was returning from one of the watch towers. The knights at the tower were explaining that they saw a carriage from the enemy kingdom.


"I say, who is the girl my son is dancing with?" King Gabriel asked his consultant. The consultant took off his monocle, cleaned it and fixed it on the girl.


"Dear heavens, I think that's Dempsey's daughter."


"Guards, guards! Seize her!" King Gabriel commanded, pointing at Teresa.


Teresa heard the rustling of armor and fled, knowing that her fun was over. She picked up her dress while descending down the steps. One of her slippers slipped off as she reached the bottom. She had no time for the guards where at her heel, she left it where it lay and entered the carriage.


One of the knights picked her shoe up and took it to the king. The shoe was tiny and glittered when the light hit it.


"My liege, she left this." The guard held it up. Gabriel took it and studied it, from the heel to the sole.


"Go around and search for a women in MY kingdom that fits this shoe." Gabriel told his consultant. The prince approached his father.


"Is that the maiden's shoe?" Quincy questioned and his father gave a stern nod. "Then I shall marry her."


Gabriel stared dumb founded at his son but nodded again.


"We'll do a search tomorrow."


~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Next Day ~~~~~~~~~~~~


The consultant knocked at Cinderella's estate.

 

[Joan]

"Oh ho ho, see who we have today!" said Melissa, peaking from at the door.


"Drizella, Anastasia, go get your most charming and noblest dress on, let's welcome our special guest."


"Ah! Tell that poorly dirty Cinderella, we are going to use the finest cups ,find them on the cupboard!"


Melissa picked her musk perfume, staring at Cinderella working around the house.

 

[lassassin]

"Mother, why?!" A nasally voice is heard from the music room. A minute later, the girl who had that voice poked her head out; it was Drizella.


"Who is at the front door?" She asked while walking towards the window close to the door. She gasped, "The duke!"


Drizella raced upstairs, chanting "I'm going to be rich, I'm going to be rich~."

 

[Sachi]

"What? The duke?!" said Anastasia. "I should dress up myself beautifully, and I believe he will fall in love with me!!hahahaha. Oh! My true love! Are you my true love?"


Cinderella was little confused at the moment, so she asked Anastasia, " Is it true that the duke visits our home? Why does he come?"


However, Anastasia felt annoyed. She looked at Cinderella with scorn and said, " Uh, Cinderella. Why do you want to know this? This doesn't have anything to do with you. Go to clean my room, and bring my most fantastic earrings and necklace for me. Go! Hurry up!!"


Cinderella then went upstairs, entered into Anastasia's room, and started to clean her room gloomily.


She found out there were a lot of beautiful clothes in Anastasia's closet and a box of glorious accessories.


She said to herself, " Oh, if I can wear these, it will be wonderful..." "I want to dress up myself beautifully as any other girls do!"

 

[lassassin]

The consultant knocked again. He was not one to be patient. 'If no one is home, I will be on my way.' He huffed and took of his monocle, cleaned it and returned it back on his right eye.


~~~~~~~~~~


Drizella came down the steps with a bigger bow in her head and too much blush.


"I'm ready mother." She explains and grins toothily.

 

[Joan]

"Ana, Hurry up!"


Melissa yelling loudly.


"O-Kay! Girls, my fair ladies, keep your back straight, be confident, and let's welcome our noble guest! "


(clear throat)"We are coming! Sorry for having you waiting!"

 

[Sachi]

Anastasia raced upstairs, feeling furious when she saw Cinderella touching her favorite earrings.


"What are you doing, Cinderella!!??" Anastasia yelled at Cinderella.


"I'll tell my mother! You're toast!" Anastasia then seized her lovely heart-shaped earrings from Cinderella, immediately wore them, and rushed downstairs to welcome the noble guest .


"Oh, Here I come!" Anastasia shouted.

 

[Joan]

Melissa then opened the door, seeing a gorgeous gentlemen standing at the door.


"Oh oh Welcome, our honorable guest."


"May I asked your purpose ?" asked Melissa.

 

[lassassin]

The duke enters the home while taking off his hat. "I've come in the name of the prince. He is looking for a bride that will fit the shoe but first the proclamation." After the proclamation was read, a servant from the castle brings out the glass slipper.


"Who'll go first?" The duke questions.

 

[Sachi]

" Oh, me! Me! I want to go first!" Anastasia said. Then she walked to the duke, and saluted to the duke.


"My name is Anastasia, I'm 21 years old." Anastasia answered.

 

[lassassin]

"Ah yes." The duke makes a face as Anastasia takes a seat and the servant kneels to try Anastasia's foot in the slipper.

 

[Joan]

"Look at my sweetheart's leg, perfect figure with wonderful skin!"


"It must be her, the best shoe for the best girl !" Melissa praises her daughter proudly.

 

[Sachi]

Anastasia then cannot wait to put on the shoes, and keep saying "These are my shoes, these are my shoes!"


However, Anastasia in fact had difficult to put on them.


After several trials, Anastasia finally said, " What?! Why?! It is impossible! These definitely are my shoes!"


Again and Again Anastasia said to her mother insanely and disappointedly, "It is impossible! These definitely are my shoes!"

 

[Joan]

"Hmmm..Well... I don't think this shoe is hard enough for you to 'squeeze' your ..wonderful foot in...Who's the next?"


The duke asks Anastasia to take it off.


"Who's the next?" The servant asks.


Seeing flustered and exasperated Anastasia, Melissa walks toward and takes a piece of cake for her.


"Oh my honey, this shoe is just too mediocre for you ... you deserve better! I'll buy you one someday!"

 

[lassassin]

"I'm next." Drizella grinned toothily and pulled her sister off the chair then taking the empty seat. She fixes her bow and looks at the servant impatiently.


"Well?" She questioned, extending her foot at him.


The servant's face paled, clearly seeing the shoe would not fit. He looks back at the duke; silently questioning if he should even try. The duke gives an exasperated sigh and slowly gives a nod. The servant returns his attention to Drizella, who crosses her arms and thrusts her foot at him. The servant tries several times to put the slipper on but her toe was too big.


Drizella scoffs, "mother, he is putting it in wrong. I'll do it myself." She pushes the servant away with her foot and goes around the room, finding away to make it fit.


The duke intervenes after she stomps her foot. Almost breaking the show.


"Madame!!!" He screeches and takes the shoe, making her fall on her bottom. He sighs, "I hope, mean presume that is all the women in this household?"

 

[Joan]

"Oh yes,sir,of course! or, would you mind me to try, too ?" Melissa replies with a sharp and impatient voice.

 

[Sachi]

At this moment, Cinderella also comes in a hurry and says, " My dear Anastasia, here is your favorite necklace, you forget to put on it!"


When Cinderella appears in front of them, the duke is immediately attracted by Cinderella's beauty. Then he says, " Oh, Madame, here is a pretty girl, isn't it? Why don't we let this pretty girl to try the shoe?"


However, after hearing what the duke has said, Anastasia feels a little unpleasant. She tells the duke, "Oh, haha, my sir. Are you kidding us? haha... Her name is Cinderella, and she is our servant. She did not go to the ball, so the slipper is definitely not hers."

 

[Joan]

"Ah yes ! Don't let this dirty girl smear the glass!" Melissa talks aloud and seeing Cinderella in rage.


"Go back to clean the bathroom, the kitchen is still left !"


"Well calm down plz,Madame, according to King's order, we allowed every young lady no matter she is a servant or a princess. " "Lady, it will be our pleasure to have you sit and give the shoe a try." Said the Duke, indicating the servant to lead Cinderella.

 

[Sachi]

"Dear lady, please come here to take a seat, and put on the shoe." the servant says politely.


Cinderella then obediently sits down, putting her foot into the shoe.


Just trying the shoe for few seconds, unexpectedly, it is a piece of cake for Cinderella to put on the shoe, and the shoe really fit her foot.


Now Cinderella seems to be the owner of the shoe, her foot after she puts on the shoe even becomes more graceful and gorgeous.


"Oh, it is impossible, it is impossible!! There might be something wrong!!" Anastasia shouts unbelievably.


"Oh, it's you! It's you. Haha... We finally find you, Cinderella!" the duke says.

 

[lassassin]

The duke's monocle falls in disbelief.


"It fits!" He screams getting everyone's attention, he recomposes himself with a cough. "Well, come along... what was your name again, miss?"


The servant hurries to the duke's ear and whispers her name.


"Ah yes. Come along, Cinderella. Your prince awaits." He extends a hand to Cinderella. The servant goes on ahead and gets the horses ready for the journey back to the castle.


"Will your," he coughs again and looks to Cinderella's step-relatives. "Kin be coming along with us?"
