Hey! I decided that I need another Rosalie and Emmett story so here it is. A Cinderella Story. I really love this movie and I think this will be become a good story. (italics=past)
Once upon a time in a far way kingdom, lived a beautiful little girl and her widowed father.
"Its beautiful." I whispered looking at the snow globe my dad had just gave me. It was a castle that I dreamed of in the globe that you could shake so that it snowed whenever you wanted it to.
Okay it wasn't that long ago and it wasn't really a far away kingdom. It was a little town called Forks. It only looked far away because of all the fog. But to me growing up this town was my kingdom. I was my dad's best friend and he was mine. Although being raised by a man put me behind in the make up and fashion departments, I never felt like I missed out on anything.
"Are you ready?" My dad asked as he tossed the ball in his glove.
"Bring it." I laughed.
My dad pitched the ball which I hit all the way into the outfield. I ran to first base but was stooped by my dad who started to tickle me and picking me up preventing me from getting on base. I started laughing as he placed his hat on my head.
"I love you kid."
"I love you too Daddy."
I was the luckiest kid in the world. My dad owned the coolest diner in the whole town. It was like my second home and I loved hanging out there. It was called Hale's Dinner after our last name. It was a place where diet was a four letter word and grease came at no additional charge. At Hale's everyone felt like family and to me they were. I had most of my birthday there but truth be told I didn't want it anywhere else.
I sat there with all my friends as the brought out the cake. I looked around and smiled.
"Happy Birthday!" My friends said as my father placed the cake down.
"Make a wish princess." Esme said as she smiled. Esme was like my mother to me and one of my friends that worked at the dinner. Her husband was a doctor and came to visit whenever he could and he was like an uncle.
What did I need to wish for? I had amazing friends and the coolest dad.
I closed my eyes and made my wish. I blew out the candles and heard my dad's camera go off. I opened my eyes to see a woman fall into my dad's arms.
But I guess my dad thought I needed one more thing. Victoria. Next thing I knew they were married. Along with my new step mother came her twin daughters, Lauren and Jessica. My ousted step sisters. But as long as my dad was happy so was I. We were going to be one big happy family.
I walked out of city hall behind my father and Victoria. Behind me were my new step sisters in these ugly matching dresses. They always seemed to fight, even at the wedding they fought. At the end of the steps we joined together to take a picture. I stood in front of my dad with Lauren and Jessica to my left. We all posed for the picture when Victoria dropped her flowers.
"Oops." She blushed. I bent down to pick up the flowers but by the time I came up the picture was already taken.
"Ones enough." said Victoria. I wasn't even in the picture! I looked up in confusion but everyone started walking towards the car.
Unfortunately this is no fairy tale.
"He took her hand and he kissed it." My dad read from my book of fairy tales as we laid on my bed. "Then he swooped he up on his horse and the beautiful princess and the handsome prince rode off to his castle where they lived happily ever after." He said finished the story by tickling me and giving me a hug.
"Do fairy tales come true Dad?" I asked.
"Well…no but dreams come true."
"Do you have a dream?"
"Yea. My dream is that you grow up and go to college and maybe someday you will build your own castle."
"Where do princesses go to college?"
"Ahh… They go um where the princes go." He said scratching his head. "They go to Princeton. But Rosie you know that fairy tales aren't all about finding handsome princes. They're about fulfilling your dreams and about standing up for what you believe in. Just like I always say" Never let the fear of striking out…"
"Keep you from playing the game." I finished.
"That's right." He laughed poking my nose. I laughed along with him and had a big smile on my face.
"And just remember if you look carefully this book contains important things that you may need to know later in life." He said kissing the top of my head. I leaned into him and noticed my snow globe starting to shake. I looked at it oddly with confusion until the room started shaking. We were having an earthquake!
"Earthquake!" My dad screamed jumping out of bed and pulling me into the doorway of my room.
My kingdom came crumbling down the day the rarest Washington earthquake hit the town of Forks.
"Help! Help!" screamed Victoria. I looked at my dad who looked out to the hallway. I started crying realizing what he was thinking.
"Don't go." I screamed grabbing his arms.
"I'll be right back." He said breaking out of my hold.
"Dad!" I screamed from my door way crying. I turned around to see my snow globe fall off my dresser and crash onto the ground.
I lost my best friend that day and from there on the only fairy tales in my life were the ones I read about in books. Since my father didn't leave a will my step mother owned everything and I had to move into the attic. The house, the diner, and to her dismay…me.
