Introduction of the Introduction
Okay people, this is my first fan fiction on one of my favorite subjects: Fairy tales, so please be kind and review. And if the review button isn't working be kind and e-mail me please. I'm just a lonely little (well not really) girl who has nothing to do! I promise this gets better as it progresses. If you stop reading you will miss out on something so fantastical and splendid that you will thank yourself for continuing.
Anyway, this is my version of Cinderella. Well, this is chapter one of a nice story. Please enjoy! Ps. When I say intro. Of the intro I mean that this thing that you're reading right now is the introduction of the chapter. The next thing that you are going to read is the introduction of the story.
Ps again, if this seems a little weird, it's because I'm watching Snow White, a tale of terror at the same time. I told you I liked fairy tales.
Pps. I just wanted to remind you that I OWN EVERYTHING PERSON AND ANIMAL INT HIS CHAPTER! HAHAHA YOU CAN'T STEEL ANYHTING FROM ME! OR I'LL SUE! UNLESS YOU ASK ME IF I CAN USE SOME OF MY CHARACTERS!#))&
Introduction of the chapter.
If you know the story of Cinderella then you will probably have a better understanding of this story.
If not then you better close this book and start off on basic fairy tales before you read any advanced books.
Now for those of you who forgot the story…
Cinderella is about a young, beautiful, kind girl whose mother died.
Naturally her father marries someone else. This 'someone else' happens to be a widow with 2 daughters.
This widow isn't much to look at, so naturally her daughters aren't exactly the belles of the ball.
After they got married, Cinderella's father who has no name somehow dies and now Cinderella is left under the care of her stepmother. Isn't it a crazy coincidence how everyone important in Cinderella's life suddenly dies? With no relatives whatsoever?
Surprisingly, the stepmother and stepsisters are jealous of Cinderella's good looks and kindness. They turn her into a servant and make her do all the house work.
Now what kind of house does not have servant in it? I'm sure that before Cinderella became a servant, there was at least one person there to do the house work. Are the servants just being lazy and not helping out? Are they hiding? Has the house been lying in dust for decades at a time? Or has magic been doing the housework?
Letting that pass, we go on.
So now Cinderella is slave in her own house doing all the chores and having a mean and cruel stepmother and stepsisters to deal with. What a kid.
One day the prince of the kingdom decides to hold a ball, and all the women in the kingdom are invited. Married or not.
As the stepsisters and stepmother are getting ready for the ball, Cinderella asks to go along while sweeping a gutter or something else.
Obviously, they say no and Cinderella is forced to stay alone in her servant less house.
Now instead of doing something –anything- she runs around crying, about how she wants to go to the ball, and simply acting like a wench and a bum.
Now, if you were in her position, what would you do?
Personally, I would just borrow a dress and some makeup and go to the ball. There's no one who could tell on me, since there's no servants in the house to tell on me. The night is mine to spend!
Then again there is the problem of transportation, but hey, every cloud has a silver lining and every, tunnel has a light at the end or some kind of nonsense like that.
Well anyways she runs around crying and wasting valuable space and air when suddenly a shimmering star appears in the air and turns into a beautiful woman we all know as The fairy godmother. Of all the times to come to Cinderella's aide, she chose now. What about all those times when Cinderella was cold and hungry.
And all those times when she had a never ending list if chores because of the lazy no-existent servants.
Why she chose now is beyond my measure of comprehension.
Now that Cinderella has the whole house to herself, and could do anything she wants -eat sleep rest- is when Ms. Fairy decides to show up.
So know the fairy is doing all sorts to help Cinderella get to the ball.
Like taking rats and lizards out of their respectable places and turning them into footmen and coachmen and what-not.
And the way she makes the coach is unbelievable. Ms. Fairy takes a huge garden show award winning pumpkin that could make about a hundred pumpkin pies, has been turned into a carriage.
As for the dress, she makes a descent dress and fine jewelry, but just when we finally think that she has finally going to do something normal, she bestows glass slippers on Cinderella's feet.
Now after ruining your chance at winning a garden award, and neglecting you for months at a time, the fairy has now at last made you into a walking disaster.
Who, in their right mind would give someone slippers made of glass? And who in their right mind would wear them?
What if you accidentally tripped? What if you stepped into a niche and the slipper broke around your foot? All the possibilities…
Also letting that pass…
As Cinderella arrives at the ball Ms. Fairy Godmother warns her that the magic disappears at midnight and to be out of there by then. What kind of magic, only lasts till 12'oclock? Your allowed to put a girl to sleep for 100 years (Sleeping Beauty) but you can't let a girl go to a ball for one night.
Amazing.
Anyways…
Cinderella walks into the ball and amazes everyone with her beauty-for a split second. After that they went on with their business and totally forgot about her.
All accept one. This 'one' was the Prince. Of all the people she could attract she had to get the obsessive ruler of the land.
Now the moment she walked in, he actually left the woman he was dancing with and went to Cinderella. If that isn't rude, I don't know what is.
He suddenly sweeps her up in a dance that never ends…even if the song did.
He danced with no one else but her. Not my idea of a good host.
He falls madly in love with her which is rather odd, since he doesn't even know her name, which is all very well since she doesn't know her name. Even though you already know that he is the prince it still would be polite to ask his name. If he has one…
They dance the whole night through and do stuff that associates with dancing.
Suddenly, the clock strikes 12 and Cinderella had to run off and go to her carriage before it disappeared.
Now the prince doesn't take it too well. He actually calls the guards to go after her. That doesn't seem very nice. If you love someone you have to let them go. But the thing that really irks me is that the moment she leaves, he starts calling out, "Wait, wait. I don't even know your name." How idiotic is that?
As she runs out and arrives in front of the carriage it disappears and turns into a pumpkin and all of her jewelry and clothes turn into all of their original things.
Except for the shoes.
Somehow the glass slippers stay in their original form. Does that mean Ms. Fairy stole it from someone and then gave it to Cinderella? Because the magic on them should've worn off. That means they weren't magic in the first place and really belonged to someone else. So some poor soul somewhere is missing a pair of glass slippers while Cinderella I off gallivanting with them on.
But, wait she only as one slipper. That means she lost the other one while she was running away. Why did the slipper fall off? If it really fit her, why did it fall off?
Well that's a mystery.
Since the carriage was a pumpkin again and the horses were back I there respectable forms, Cinderella had to walk/run all the way home. Wait if she walked all the way home, doesn't that mean she could've walked all the way to the ball from home? There was no one to stop her! Wouldn't that mean she wasn't really fond of the idea of going to the ball?
As Cinderella arrived home on foot she waits for her stepfamily to get home.
Meanwhile, some prince is obsessing over a glass slipper. He doesn't sleep nor eat and he spend his time with a shoe. Prince claims to have fallen in love with the maiden who he met one night. ONE NIGHT!
He says that he will never do anything until he marries her.
What if she didn't want to marry him?
Anyways, he has this brilliant idea of tracking her down. He will take the glass slipper and try in on the foot of every single woman in a kingdom where about 20 women have the same foot size. Isn't that the most fabulous idea you ever heard of?
It is much better than identifying the face of every maiden before you try it on just to narrow down the search. Or asking for the other pair and marrying the girl who gives it up.
As he goes around trying shoes on the feet of total strangers, Cinderella is at home doing nothing in particular. Finally the prince comes to her cottage and tried the shoe on everyone. Except Cinderella. When he's about to leave is when she wants to come down. He tries it on her foot and it magically fits! Then she takes the shoe out of her pocket which could've broken at any moment and puts it on. Then they leave and get married happily ever after.
The end
Wow isn't that story just peachy keen? Somehow everything works out fine.
Well I'm writing this story in order to clarify things up a bit.
From the point of view (POV) of our heroic heroine, Ella, (not referring to Ella Enchanted my favorite book) let the story begin!
Okay, sorry it's long. Please keep reading. It gets more interesting in the next chapter since I begin the real story then. If you press the little blue button on the left everything will go well in the next chapter so please be nice and press it and write some words in it. I will mention you in the next chapter! I PROMISE!
Till we meet again good reviewers.
