When we left off from last time : Cinderella had just dressed for the ball and her sister had destroyed it out of Jealousy. Cinderella, without a word with tears in her eyes, without a word left the room and went to her room and began to weep bitterly Moments later a coach and horses could be heard on the courtyard below and the chatter of her sisters and stepmother. And then there was silence and Cinderella was all alone in the house and then it felt like to Cinderella there was no light at the end of the tunnel and it would be forever dark and lonely and happiness was just a dream. "Why the tears Cinderella ?" came a voice from nowhere " you should be on your way to the ball" Cinderella looked around her and saw nothing but the walls of her room . "Oh, I forgot we can't usually be seen" came the voice again and then all at once her room was as light as day and a lady dressed in white looking like an angel stood before her. "Who are you ?" asked Cinderella looking on with awe. "well my dear, in life I was your mother, you probably don't remember me because it was so very long ago, but tonight I am your Fairy godmother." "My mother, you were my mother?'' stammered Cinderella "Well yes my dear, but tonight I am your fairy godmother and we don't have much time so first things first let's fix that dress, and ill make a few adjustments to make it even more beautiful after all it's my daughter going to the palace." And with a wave of her hand Cinderellas dress was back to its beautiful original state and now it was dawned with glass gems that glittered with every move of the gown. With another wave of her fairy godmother's arm, a golden tiara with white diamonds adorned Cinderellas head and shoes that shone like diamonds with every step she took. "Now we must get you to the ball, my dear, " with a wave of her am a commotion from the courtyard could be heard. Cinderella looking out her window looked down the courtyard where there was a coach fit for a queen, glistening with gems and pearls and every expensive metal you can imagine. And sitting on the driver's seat with a broad smile was the last person she would expect to see, Cinderella's Father. Her father was here, at once Cinderella couldn't hold back her tears as the man who she adored every day who had passed away was standing before her. "Father is that really you, am I seeing things" without a second thought Cinderella threw her arms around her father. For a short time, they stood and watched each other and held each other . "Well that's over, perhaps we can get her to the ball" Cinderella's Fairy godmother exclaimed So her father and she walked arm in arm to the coach waiting outside where she climbed aboard and as quick as a wisp they were on their way to the palace. A short time later , Cinderella arrived at the palace where guards were posted at every door and dressed in their finest royal purple and white As Cinderella climbed out of the coach there was awe of admiration as eyes fell upon her from everywhere. As she approached the door to the palace, without any question the doors to the palace's ballroom were opened and Cinderella found herself standing at the top of a grand staircase leading to the ballroom floor. With all eyes on her as she entered the room, Prince Sebastion looked up from the conversation he was in with her stepsister Fontina and began to look at Cinderella. Even from across the room, Cinderella could hear the prince excuse himself from her step-sister and make his way to Cinderella. "Welcome, beautiful maiden to my home, I thought I had seen the most beautiful woman in the kingdom but then you arrived, may I have the honor of having the first dance with you." Without a word Cinderella, nodded her head and the prince and Cinderella began to dance. As the music played the prince danced with Cinderella, all night and by late that night everyone but Cinderellas stepsisters and stepmother knew the prince had made his mind up to whom he would choose to be his bride. At Midnight as Cinderella was dancing in the prince's arms she ran from him so quickly dropping her shoe as she left so very quickly. The prince was in love and knew not her name or where she came from. Cinderella was rushed home in her coach and the moment she stepped out of it at home it vanished along with her gown and she was standing there as was before. Moments after, Cinderellas stepsisters and stepmother arrived home "Well that was a complete waste of time, The prince only had eyes for one girl and she was late " came the stepmother's voice "She was the most beautiful girl there though mother " came Fontinas voice "I don't care, she wasn't you or your sister, Fontina, how are you suppose to marry a prince if some blonde bimbo is taking all his time away" The very next day a proclamation was sent out to every home. " Hear Ye Hear Ye! The prince has found his bride, at the ball she left her shoe on the ballroom floor. When he finds who she is she will become the crown princess of France. All ladies who attended the ball must present themselves to the prince to have the shoe presented to them. For several days the prince traveled around France trying on the shoe on many maidens in the land. Eventually, the prince arrived at the home of Cinderella and her stepmother and stepsisters. First, the stepmother tried on the shoe but it was too small, then each of the sisters tried on the shoe and Corina even went so far as to cut her toes off to make it fit but once again it failed to fit. "Is anyone else here in the house madam." asked the prince. " No your highness, there is no one else here." At once a bright light, brighter than noonday sun appeared "LIAR, there is another your grace the very one you seek" came the invisible voice The prince at once ordered his soldiers to do a thorough of the house and leave nothing unturned. "Madam "Came the princes voice with a voice of authority " I hope for your sake that there is no other person in this house, because if my men find another woman in this house then you will be sent to the dungeon Along with your daughters" At the mention of the dungeon, the stepmother confessed there was another but she was just a mare servant, it could not possibly be her. At this Cinderella came from the basement and the Prince looked up to see her and knew at once without trying the shoe on her foot that she was his princess. But as was the custom, the prince knelt down by her feet and said "may I please have this dance" at these words Cinderella lifted her foot and the prince placed the shoe on her foot and a bright flash of light from nowhere surrounded her and she was instantly changed into the gown with the tiara and looking more beautiful than ever. The very next week Cinderella and the Prince were married. What happened to the Stepmother and stepsisters you may ask?, they were put to work in the kitchens of the palace and forced to work for the rest of their days as slaves of the crown. A year later Cinderella gave birth to a beautiful baby girl and her name was Rapunzel.
