Magic Can Only Do So Much
Carlos was sat on campus completing some homework late. Dude laid next to him before rolling onto his back as Carlos tickled his belly. Carlos looked up when he suddenly heard voices,
"But mooooom…. All I'm asking for is one tiny little transformation spell" the first voice wined before he heard the headmistresses voice answer,
"Jane…. We have discussed this. You're already beautiful" she said and Carlos heard Jane stamp her foot in frustration,
"No. I'm not mom" she argued but then the bell rang and he heard the headmistress sigh,
"We'll speak about this later ok? I have to go" she said and he heard her leave and then that was when he saw Jane sit down on the bench not too far from where he was sat,
"Mother, Daughter tiff?" he asked and she looked at him startled before nodding,
"Yeah… I just don't understand. I'm her daughter and she refuses to help me" she said sadly,
"I just want to be beautiful….. Like Cinderella." She finished sadly and Carlos looked at her sympathetically,
"Well… If you were beautiful like her then….. You wouldn't be you anymore" he pointed out and she looked at him surprised and he shook his head quickly,
"I'm just saying that…. Well….. My Mom tried to kill innocent puppies in order to be fashionable. She tried to become pretty for the wrong reasons….. And because of that she became a villain and hideous in the eyes of others" he said gently and Jane smiled softly to herself as he continued,
"Be happy with the beauty you already have. At least you can say you have goodness inside your heart. Magic could only do so much. The beauty within might take a little time but…. With time it will start to show on the outside also" he said and stood up,
"The same couldn't be said for Cinderella" he said gently before heading off to class and Dude followed after him quickly.
