Once Upon A Cinderbella
Prologue
All the best fairy tales have something in common, a beautiful damsel in distress, a prince who is charming, a sprinkling of magic and a happily ever after. Of course, they all start in a very similar fashion with a 'once upon a time'. Now this fairy tale is a little different. There are no golden carriages or talking animals. No evil witches or terrible curses. Not even a fire breathing dragon will grace these pages. Yet this is a love story and most importantly, it does have a happily ever after.
You see, this is a true story, and as such it is the very best kind of fairy tale. It shows beauty and truth, hidden identities, friendship, cruelty, good triumphs over evil, and love certainly will conquer all. It has all those qualities that are found in the very best fairy tales that have survived for centuries. It also has the additional benefit of showing all non-believers that fairy tales are still possible in our modern and cynical society.
For all of these reasons, and others that will soon be evident, I dedicate this story to all the hopers and dreamers that struggle through the many snares and pitfalls of our sceptical world. May you all find your own happily ever after.
Now to begin, in the only true way a story such as this should ever start.
Once upon a time...
