Midnight: Hey guys! Just to let you know this is part of a series of my favorite fairy tales and stuff like that! Just with ghost hunt characters as the fairy tale characters! The Fairy tales will be a little bit different than the original version just so that all the characters fit in.

Cookies: We will tell you who's what character right now just so that you don't get confused.

Sour: Some of us *cough, Cookies, cough, cough* aren't the brightest. (Receives glare from cookies, cuz she heard and receives glare from midnight because that's insulting to some readers)

Midnight: Anyways these are the characters!

Mai = Cinderella

Masako = Evil step-sister

Monk (Takigawa) = The really fat mouse

Yasuhara = The skinny mouse in the red clothes

Naru = Prince Charming

Lin = The guy wearing the monocle

Martin = fat king guy (Naru's father)

Luella = Evil step-mother (in the real ghost hunt she's Naru's mom, I didn't have a proper character for her since the queen in Cinderella is dead)

Madoka = Fairy godmother

Gene = Prince Gene, Naru's dead twin brother (I know there actually isn't a prince Gene, but I needed a reason for Naru to be…well you know… Naru.)

Ayako = Girl mouse in the dress

John Brown = The Castle servant guy (I know he doesn't exist in the real Cinderella but I needed him to fit in somewhere)

Hikaru Taniyama = Mai's dead father, who left her in the care of her step-mother

If you guys have ever seen Cinderella you should know the characters I'm talking about! Enjoy the Story! Please R & R!

Prologue

Once upon a time, in a land far, far away there lived a man named Hikaru Taniyama. He was one of the kings most trusted and favored lords. He was married to a woman named Haruhi Taniyama. They had a beautiful daughter and a wonderful home. Their life was perfect. They got everything they could ever have wished for and more.

Until one day Haruhi Taniyama became grievously ill. Her daughter was only 5 years old at the time. Not long after she became ill, Haruhi Taniyama died. When Mai Taniyama, their daughter, was 7 her father got remarried to a woman named Luella. Luella had a daughter Mai's age. Things seemed fine at first if a little bit awkward. Masako, Luella's daughter, was slightly harsh to Mai.

That only lasted until Mai's father died in a strange accident involving a carriage. Then things got worse. Mai had been put in the care of her step-mother. She was supposed to inherit her fathers fortune when she turned 18, but for now it was in the care of her step-mother. At the rate things were going there wouldn't be anything left to inherit by the time Mai turned 18.

But none of these things bothered Mai as much as how they treated her. They made her into their own personal servant and maid. She did whatever she was told. Whether it was cooking their dinner to mopping the floors. She did it all. She was too kind to refuse.

Fortunately she made friends easily. There were plenty of talking mice and kind servants to chat with when she wasn't busy. So at least her life wasn't miserable. She made friends with a mouse called Monk, another mouse called Yasuhara, a third mouse called Ayako and a servant boy called John.

Cleaning, cooking, singing, dreaming and wishing were how she spent her days for a long, long time. This is where the story continues from.

I am Mai Taniyama, I'm now 17 and I really wish that I could see my mother and father again. Not that I want to die, I just miss them. My life isn't awful, it could be better though. NO, I can't think like that! There are people who are way worse off than me! They don't have a wonderful home, family (if you could call Masako and Luella that), food or a fortune to inherit (if there's any left).

No matter what happens I will always remain cheerful for the sake of my parents, they wouldn't want me to be unhappy. I was walking around the house tidying up wherever it was necessary. Masako and Luella were out shopping for clothes today (as if they didn't have enough already).

I was going to get on their good sides today. Or at least try to. After an hour or so of dusting the house, Mai started scrubbing the floors. She watched the shiny bubbles float upwards and started singing:

A dream is a wish your heart makes,

When you're fast asleep

In dreams you will lose your heart aches

Whatever you wish for, you keep

Have faith in your dreams and some day,

Your rainbow will come smiling through

No matter how your heart is grieving,

If you keep on believing,

The dream that you wish,

Will come true

Suddenly clapping came from behind me. I whipped around and blushed. It was Monk, Yasu and Ayako. I started to thank them when suddenly Masako's cat, Chester came charging in with dirty paws. Making a mess out of what I had just cleaned. He started chasing my friends but I picked him up. He started hissing at me so I just tossed him outside.

I hope that Chester learns not to hate me. I really don't want another enemy. I just want my parents back. I can feel the tears starting to well up in my eyes but I blink and try to hold them back. I don't want to cry in front of my friends. I want them to be happy.

Instead of crying I just sigh and start mopping up the floor again. I wish I wouldn't have to listen to Masako and Luella. I wish a lot of things, but that doesn't mean they'll come true.

You can't help but wish. My thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a familiar voice yelling "Mai! Why did you put Chester outside?"

Then I heard another familiar voice, this one chilling not shrill and annoying "What a mess… You must be punished Mai."

Midnight: Hey I know it was bad, but it was only the first chapter!

Sour: We ALL know that already Midnight! Next chapter write something better!

Cookies: We promise we will do better in the next chapter, but for now plx R&R!
