Disclaimer: I don't own Rags.

(The actual movie will be in bold)

As the movie started, Charlie, Martha and Diego were wondering what they could possibly be doing over the next few days that would bring them into the same movie as Kadee Worth, while Arthur and Andrew simply thought that Android would FINALLY take off.

The movie opened onto a good look at New York City. Swirly golden letters spell out RAGS.

Shawn (Voice Over): New York City...

"Hey! That's my voice!" says Shawn, shocked.

Everyone's eyes widened, how was this possible?!

The camera alternates shots between buildings , bridges and packed streets.

Shawn(VO): Not a land far far away, but still one of the most magical cities in the world... It's streets buzzing with people and buildings that seem to go on forever...

The shot closes in on a skateboarder holding onto a car to pick up speed and just making it onto the street.

"Charlie! Isn't that you?" asked Martha, recognizing the tiny guitar on his back.

"Yeah... I think it is..." he murmurs, confused.

"Well then... WHAT WERE YOU THINKING YOU ALMOST GOT HIT BY THAT CAR!" she shouted.

"AHEM! You can scold him later." whispered JewelStruck.

Shawn(VO): It's the kind of place where fairytales seem to be possible, no matter who you are.

Closes in on the skateboarder dodging people and moving as fast as we can.

Charlie: Sorry! 'Scuse me! Sorry 'bout that!

Shawn(VO): This isn't one of your typical Cinderella stories. There's no pumpkin, no mice, no Cinderella.

Everyone is confused. How could this be a 'Cinderella Story' without a Cinderella?

Shawn(VO): Or at least... not the one you're used to. Meet Charlie.

The skateboarder stops and looks a little farther right then the camera. It's definitely Charlie.

"Woah, whoa, whoa, whoa! Wait a minute! Is this thing saying that I'm Cinderella?" Charlie asked, disbelievingly.

"Yep. Now shush up and watch!" snickered JewelStruck.

Charlie sunk into his chair as snickers sounded around the room.

Shawn(VO): He was young when he lost his Mom...

All chuckles stop immediately.

Charlie winces at the mention of his Mom... he missed her so much...

Kadee noticed as 'Cinderella' guy winced. She understood... her mom had died when she was little, too.

The setting changes to a dark room, Arthur is staring directly into the camera, behind him are two identical blonde boys wearing red. One is smiling, and the other looks down disdainfully.

Shawn(VO): Leaving him with Arthur, his step father. Then there's these two. Charlie's step brothers, who are a little... how do I say this... Annoying.

Arthur, Andrew and Lloyd all frown. Arthur and Andrew frown because this is presenting Android badly to Mr. Worth. I mean how DARE that little runt?

Lloyd frowns for a different reason. 'I'm annoying?'

The camera flips from Charlie writing in a notebook to him being handed a mop.

Shawn(VO): Now Charlie's stuck cleaning the place his mom once owned.

"Wow, you know you kind of ARE like Cinderella if you think about it..." mutters Martha.

"Martha..." groans Charlie.

A record seems to jerk, cutting off the music.

Shawn(VO): Wait- wait!

The visual switches to a guy break dancing, Charlie cheering him on.

Shawn(VO): Before we let our fairytale play out, you should know: Charlie has a talent.

"Ha! The only thing that kid's good for is mopping!" scoffed Arthur.

"Yeah! Talent? Psshh, in his dreams!" snapped Andrew.

Charlie looks down at his feet while Martha and Diego glare at the two.

Shawn(VO): A real gift for music.

Charlie: Yo! Come out!

Charlie's gathering people's attention for their performance.

Charlie(singing):

I never doubt my dreams

Always live'em out
Imma tell the world
They gotta hear me out

Just gimme one mic
So I can scream it loud
And I just need someone
That I can make proud

Cause I can wait for that someday,
If that someday it is coming

I wanna share my life with someone
Who loves me just for me
Hey! Hey!

I wanna wish up to the stars, I can
I wanna see the lights in the crowd,
In the stand

I see myself there like a dream in the past,(fades out)

"Wow, you're really good! Did you write that yourself?!" shouts Kadee.

"Uhh... maybe..." he responds.

"Charlie! How come you never told us you could sing like that?" asked Diego.

Charlie shrugged and turned back to the television.

"Kid, don't brush it off. I think you have a real talent." says Mr. Worth.

"Wha- R-really?" asks Charlie, shocked.

Mr. Worth nods and Arthur and Andrew glare.

That little nuisance is ruining Android's chances!

Shawn walks on screen interested by the performance.

Shawn(VO): And this is where I come in. Like I said, this is a fairytale, but with a twist.

Charlie continues to sing, camera focuses on the break dancers.

Shawn(VO): I'm no Fairy Godmother, but Charlie has a dream. All he needs is someone to hear him... and an open door.

A car drives by, hitting a puddle and soaking the spectators.

People scream and leave.

"It's just water! Come on, people!" Charlie shouts in desperation as the spectators AND other performers leave.

"Only you would say that, Charlie." Diego chuckles.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Charlie asks.

"Those people got soaked by gutter water, and you expect them to stay." laughed Martha.

"Well, they weren't SOAKED..." muttered Charlie.

Shawn walks over and places $5 into the bike helmet that had a small amount of money in it.

"Keep it up, man. Next time I see you, it better be on an album cover!" Shawn says, smiling.

Charlie bends over and picks up the helmet.

"Wow... Thank you..." Charlie says, sounding shocked at the praise.

"Uh... yeah, I have to agree with future me... Thanks." Charlie says, a hint of a smile on his lips.

"No problem, Cinderella." Shawn grins.

Charlie groans at the new nickname.

Charlie starts to walk away, "Who knows," Shawn starts, "maybe one day you'll be as famous as she is."

Charlie turns to where Shawn's pointing, only to see a bus with Kadee's picture on it, advertising 'Love You, Hate You'.

Kadee glares at the advertisement.

"I HIGHLY doubt that." Charlie said with a sad laugh.

"Good, cause it'll NEVER happen." snapped Arthur angrily.

More than a few people glare at him.

"And that's the beauty of this city, you never know what's going to happen next." narrates Shawn as Charlie starts skateboarding again.

"Just around the corner could be something amazing," The camera zooms in on a magazine with Kadee and Finn on the cover, "Or someone."
