I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal or Cinderella. :)

Prologue

Once upon a time there lived a young girl known as Kamishiro Rio. Rio's mother had passed away when she was young so her father, Don Thousand, remarried to the

woman who Rio knew as Stepmother. She had many step-brothers, six in all. They were Ryouga, Durbe, Misael, Alito, Gilag, and Vector. They were all very kind and caring (except for Vector with all his pranks).

A week ago there was an announcement throughout the entire kingdom of Heartland. The eldest prince, Tenjo Kaito, was going to hold three consecutive balls in

Heartland Tower to choose his bride. However, Ryouga, Durbe, Misael, Alito, Gilag, and Vector were all going to a tournament in another kingdom, so Rio was not allowed to attend the balls.

So this is where the story begins. This is the morning of Prince Kaito's first ball.

Chapter 1

"Rio! Where did you put my boots?" Said Ryouga as they were about to depart.

"Mo! Ryouga, keep track of your own things! I didn't even touch your boots."

Alito poked his head through the door. "Come on, otherwise we're leaving without you!"

Gilag pushed Alito over to join the conversation. "I think I saw Vector with them earlier..."

"Somehow I don't feel like I'll be seeing them again." Ryouga said as pulled on a different pair of shoes.

Durbe coughed. "Hurry a little please. Misael is getting a bit impatient."

"Right, sorry Durbe."

"Hey Vector, what did you do to my boots?"

"...nothing."

"Yeah whatever, like I'll believe that!"

"ARE WE LEAVING OR NOT?!" Shouted Misael as he finally snapped.

"Rio make us ramen when we get back alright?"

Rio shook her head as she shut the front door. "Seriously? Ani, do you only think about food?"

"Tou-san! What is the meaning of this?" Kaito said as he rushed into the throne room.

Faker rubbed his chin thoughtfully for a few seconds. "It's about time for you to find spouse, after all, you are the heir to the throne."

"But-"

Faker raised his hand for silence. "I have already decided, and this is not to be argued. I would suggest you choose well, otherwise I will choose for you."

Enraged, Kaito stormed out of the throne room and slammed his door shut.

Kaito's page, Orbital 7 opened the door slightly. "Er, Kaito-sama, shouldn't you be figuring out what to wear?"

"Shut up! I don't need your help!"

"Nii-san! You shouldn't be so mean to Orbital!" Said Haruto as he randomly popped out of nowhere. "Oh, and nii-san, tou-san said that you shouldn't just wear the same thing through all three nights! That's why Orbital said that you should be picking what to wear."

"Thanks for worrying Haruto, but I'll decided later."

Haruto frowned. "Alright nii-san. Hey Orbital, you should help me pick out what to wear!"

"Of course! Haruto-sama!"

With that the two left the room leaving Kaito alone to sort out his thoughts.

Or so he thought.

"Kaito! Don't look so glum! Be like me! Heart-Burning!"

Kaito whirled around only to see Mr. Heartland of all people in his room. "You! Why are you here?"

"I am the new manager! Dr. Faker-sama informed me to arrange your outfit for tonight!"

Kaito sighed. "I can get Orbital to help me with that. I don't need your assistance."

Mr. Heartland shook his shook his finger at Kaito. "Tsk, tsk, your page is helping your little brother right now, I wouldn't want to bother them."

"Fine! Whatever!"

Mr. Heartland grinned mischievously as he pulled out something from behind his back. "Wait! Close your eyes."

"WHAT! Do you seriously expect me to go along with something like that?"

"Hmm, you ruin all the fun! Here, try this one." He held out a yellow suit that looked strikingly similar to the one he was wearing.

"No, I refuse. Your fashion sense is terrible! Get out of my room!" Kaito yelled as he literally had steam coming out of his ears. "Oh, and you're fired!"

Rio had finished cleaning the house hours ago, and for some reason she was terribly bored. She had already visited her friend Kotori who had announced that she was going to the ball with Yuma.

"Mo! Why did all of them have to go to some tournament and leave me behind? Why can't I go to the ball by myself?" She sighed.

"Wait! I can just go by myself! Who says I need someone to go with?"

Inspiration renewed, Rio raced off to find herself a dress.

To help decorate the castle, Dr. Faker had specifically hired two very skilled decorators Droite and Gauche.

The two were busily moving about barking orders to the palace staff.

"Droite! What color should the tablecloth be?"

Droite flicked a piece of tape she had once been intending to use with slight irritation. "Gauche, why can't you decide anything by yourself?"

Gauche scratched his head. "I was just asking for your opinion..."

"Go along with the color scheme of the floor."

Droite was decorating the balcony, as she knew that if anything, something would happen on the balcony rather than in the actual ballroom.

The entire room was covered in silver and multiple shades of blue, because Dr. Faker had stated that his son disliked "flashy" colors.

Droite turned around as she wiped her forehead only to find that Gauche had placed a red tablecloth.

"This is going to be a difficult task." She muttered to herself.

YAY! Thanks for reading! I promise the next chapter will be longer. However, I won't be able to update for a while. :(

Anyway, what should Rio and Kaito wear? Please review!
