Notes:

I don't own Digimon. Toei and Bandai do.

I didn't write the story Cinderella, either. I have no idea. It was written in China a long time ago.

Kariella

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful girl named Kariella (of course, she went by Kari) who lived with her evil stepmother and her Stepsister, Catherine. Catherine was as ugly as she was evil.

Kari was forced to do all the chores in the house, while Catherine sat around doing nothing. Nonetheless, Kari stayed as sweet as she had always been.

Kari's only friends were the mice and rats who lived in the cellar, and Takeru, her neighbor.

One day, Prince Daisuke sent word throughout the land that he was throwing a grand Ball. At this Ball, he would choose his bride.

"Maybe he'll choose me!" Squealed Catherine.

"He might choose me…" Kari said quietly.

Catherine found this wildly funny. "Prince Daisuke? With you? Ha!"

Kari told Takeru about the Ball. "He's gonna choose his bride, Tk!" She said excitedly.

"Wow." He sounded impressed.

"Tk…" She said thoughtfully. "Stepmother says I can go to the ball if I finish my chores. Do you think The Prince will fall I love with me?"

Tk sighed. "Of course. He'll choose you if his head isn't full of rocks."

Kari was so happy, she didn't notice how much sadness was in his voice.

Kari bit back her tears. She had finished all of her chores. She could go to the ball now. Stepmother wasn't going to stop her. One problem.

She didn't have anything to wear!

She had plumb forgotten what a classy occasion this would be. Her nicest dress was a smock.

Catherine and Stepmother had left a few minutes ago. "Now what?" She asked bitterly.

Suddenly, there was a blinding flash of light. When the light faded, a Gatomon with a magic wand and wings stood before her. "Hi!" It greeted her cheerfully.

"Are you my Fairy Godmother?" Kari asked eagerly.

"Errr…no. I play poker with her. You can call me Gato." The Creature replied.

"Oh." Kari said, Disappointed.

"Well, I can grant wishes." Gato said brightly.

"Great!" Said Kari. "I want to go to…"

She was interrupted when she heard someone walk in to the house.

"Oops!" Said Gato. "Gotta go!" She vanished.

Kari ran to the door. In walked Stepmother. Then, Catherine, holding on to someone's arm

HUA?

THE PRINCE?!

She kneeled. "Y-y-your majesty!" She stammered.

"You mean, 'Majesties'!" Sneered Catherine. "The Prince has decided to marry me!"

Kari was shocked. But for some reason, her heart wasn't broken. Then, she realized why: She never loved Daisuke in the first place!

Time passed quickly. Kari, Stepmother, and Catherine moved in to the castle. Catherine married Daisuke, and they ruled the land of Motomiya together.

Eventually, Kari married Takeru and they moved away to a land called Kamiya.

Catherine lived as queen for the rest of her days, becoming a prim, proper lady, learning her duties in the household, and signing bills and new laws.

Kari lived with Takeru, where they raised kittens for a living, and most of their days were spent laughing and smiling.

Now, you tell me…

Who lived happily ever after?
