Hey ya'll! Funny Munchies here! Ya'll can just call me Bri bri tho ;) I just LOVE this song called "Cinderella" by Steven Curtis Chapman. I couldn't stop listening to it! Then I thought. OMG! This would make a sweet story! So here it is! Hope ya'll enjoy!
Haruhi's POV
Finally, I thought. Club is over. I wanted to relieve some stress. I wanted to go to my safe haven, the abandoned Dance studio on the second floor. I've never seen anyone go in it, and I'm glad. I remember when I started dancing.
I started dancing when I was two. I stopped going to classes when I was six. That was when times started to get hard, when mom died in other words. Whenever I had time, I wouldput on my tights and my baby blue leotard, grab our small little stereo, put in my favorite song,"Cinderella" by Steven Chapman, run down to a dance school that let me dance in there old room, close my eyes, push play, and dance to my heart's content.
She bends and she sways
To whatever song plays
Without a care in the world
And I'm sitting here wearing
The weight of the world on my shoulders
It's been a long day
And there's still work to do
She's pulling at me saying, "Dad I need you
There's a ball at the castle and I've been invited
And I need to practice my dancing
Oh, please, Daddy, please?"
I was spinning, kicking, bending, swaying, jumping, all that was capable of my little six-year-old body. The girl in the beginning was just like me. I asked my dad the same thing and then I push play on the radio and this song came on. It was ALMOST creepy. I got lost in the music. I didn't realize the school director came in with his students.
So I dance with Cinderella
While she is there in my arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh, I dance with Cinderella
I don't want to even miss one song
'Cause all to soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone…
She says he's a nice guy and I'd be impressed
She wants to know if I approve of the dress
She says, "Dad, the prom is just one week away
And I need to practice my dancing
Oh, please, Daddy, please?"
I did a Grand jetéand all the children gasped. I don't blame them. One of the teacher came in and gaped at me while I was doing a Grand jeté and said I hand magnificent height that rivaled an adult and my legs were perfectly straight to make it look like I was doing to splits in mid air. My legs might be small but they had a lot of power and I glided across the room easily. The dance teacher that saw me called it "Graceful and beautiful beyond words. It took my breath away." The kids that came in were the Preschool class.

She will be gone
I don't mean to brag, but it looked like I was defying gravity. I got lost in the music and just let the music tell me what steps I should take. The little kids were mesmerized.
Well, she came home with a ring on her hand
Just glowing and telling us all they had planned
She says, "Dad, the wedding's still six months away
But I need to practice my dancing
Oh, please, Daddy, please?"
So I dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh, I dance with Cinderella
I don't even want to miss one song
'Cause all too son the clock while strike midnight
And she'll be gone
I finished with my back leg behind me perfectly straight and my arms above my head and back while looking at the ceiling. I heard claps and I looked towards the wall of mirrors. All the kids were standing up and clapping with smiles lighting up their faces. I did a curtsey while blushing furiously. One of the kids came up to me and asked.
"How old are you, onē-san?"
"I am six years old, imōto-san," I replied.
Hope ya'll liked it! Don't worry. There are more to come. I really like this story.
