The first story will be a tale of a young prince looking for his princess. In order to get her he must encounter an evil stepsister, a shoe and a not so typical girl. So turn the page, well change the chapter to read about the Dee-Cee version of Cinderella.

The Almost Cinderella
a scribble by me

It was the start of a wonderful as the sun rose up to shine upon the town of Gotham, waking the citizens peacefully out of their sleep. The prince of Gotham also known as Prince Richard or Dick however was awoken abruptly by the loud trumpets signalling his presence and a loud knocking from outside of his door. Alfred, the ever patient servant of King Brue, ruler of Gotham, supplied the knocking.

"Prince Dick, your presence is needed"

"I'm coming" replied Dick unmoving

"Prince Dick, that mean you need to get out of bed now"

"Fine" how does he do that?

Alfred always had a way of knowing what was on Dick's wanting to keep King Bruce waiting the prince awoke and dressed and left to see his father. He walked through the large palace until he reached a large golden door with the king's ruling insignia, a large bat. Dick chuckled; he thought it was very fitting for his father, seeing as he was always in the shadows somewhere. As he reached to open the door it swung open to reveal his father.

"Good, your here took you long enough."

"Sorry I had to stop my ears from ringing from your wakeup call, must you pick the loudest or showiest entrance?"

Bruce laughed he knew he had a tendancy of showing off when he wanted to. But the truth was this morning he had asked Alfred to choose Dick's wake up call. Nice choice Alfred. After getting his mind back to the business at hand. He started to speak.

"Anyways, I have an important matter to discuss with you"

"What is it?"

Dick asked with just a hint of worry and confusion. Bruce's laugh earlier was making him start to question his father's sanity. He's definitely working too hard. Dick hoped it wasn't a meeting with the neighbouring countries, they were interestingly boring.

"You are old enough to make your own decision and it has come to my attention that you need to find a wife"

"A WIFE?" Dick was shocked, a wife, the only girl he's talked to had been Babs, the daughter of Sir Gordon the leader of the law enforcers.

Seeing his son's obvious dismay, Bruce had to resist the urge to laugh. Instead he changed his words

"not a wife exactly but a proper candidate for marriage. In order to find one there will a party tonight were you will pick your suitor."

Relived he was not to be , at least not yet he replied with a simple "okay" while conducting a plan to not pick anyone at all.

And so the invitation was sent.
