HI! Anyway I decided to do a Cinderella story but there`s a difference to it like a little of rags so yeah. I don`t own the song or Cinderella or H2R because if I did Zevie would have already happened and it wouldn`t be canceled.
Once upon a time, a young boy named Zander was sweeping his stepfather`s palace (Which it isn`t his). Zander was always a good kid. He was nice, creative, sweet, caring and had a passion for music. His mother and father would always sing to him when he was younger. They also had a passion for music so I guess you could say, it runs in the family. But sadly his mother and father died in a car accident when he was only 11 years old. So he was set for adoption and his new 'dad' was his new owner. His 'dad' had another son named Justin. He hated everything about Justin even his guts. He always thought he was the superior alpha in this town but news flash he isn`t. But what kills Zander the most is that his new dad doesn't see the evil in him just like Zander does. But Zander won`t let him bring him down. Now here Zander is 7 years later sweeping his dad`s (not fully owed) palace.
"I`ll follow my dreams, you think there were nightmares the way they scream.
You`d make them believe (Whoo) someday, someday I`m going be the next big thing." Zander sang into the broom before hearing his father call.
"Zander!" Zander quickly stood up correctly and hid the broom behind his back.
"Yeah?" He questioned.
"What did I say about slacking off? You know you can`t sing; you sound like a screeching cat." No he didn`t.
"Was I really that bad?"
"Yes. Now go scrub the toilet." His father demanded.
"Ok sir, I`m sorry." Zander held his head down and headed for the bathroom which was down the hall to the right.
As Zander was getting ready to scrub the toilet his brother chose that time to annoy him.
"Well, if it isn`t Mr. Screeching cat." Justin teased.
"Do you seriously have to bother me now?" Zander complaint.
"Yes, it`s my job." He answered simply with a smirk.
"Why don`t you go look for a different job, I`m busy."
"Oh, that`s right, your too busy scrubbing toilets." He laughed.
Zander had to grid on his teeth to keep calm and then responded, "Please Justin, just leave me the hell alone."
"Wow, mister mood swing. I see." And with that Justin left.
Timed Skipped
Zander was finally done cleaning the toilet as he signed and swiped the sweat from his forehead with his wrist. He was walking to his room when he overheard his dad and his brother talking about the masquerade ball that was being held this Saturday for princess Stevie to find her a husband. Zander thought Stevie was the most beautiful girl he laid eyes on. She had those Hazel eyes that just make you get lost into them, and her pink plump lips that made you want to kiss them all day, and not to mention her sweet shoulder length brunette hair that made you want to play in it all day long. He was definitely a sucker for her, but he could only dream. Stevie would never fall for him Zander thought.
"Listen to me Justin," His father said, "I want you to sweep the princess off her feet, you got that?"
"Don`t worry dad," There he goes with his cockiness again Zander thought,"She`ll be wrapped around my finger, as usual with all the ladies."
"Good, because every male there is in this town got invited, so that means it`s going to be one heck of a completion."
Zander eyes widen. If every male got invited that means he did too! He actually haves a chance with Stevie!
"I couldn`t help but overhear," I said walking into the room fully as Justin mumbled "Eavesdropping" underneath his breath which made Zander glare at him but continued, "But if I`m correct, I`m invited to the ball too. Right?"
His dad let out a small laugh before his face expression turned serious. "Sorry, but you can`t come." Zander couldn`t believe what h was hearing. And what made it worst was that Justin was teasing about him by saying "Ha ha!"
"What! But you just said that every male was invited. And if I`m correct, I am a male." Zander protested.
"I think you need to check again." Justin objected before Zander gave him a dirty look, "Justin." He warned.
"Don`t threaten your brother." His dad said as Justin sticked out his tongue out at Zander.
"But give me one good reason." Zander challenged.
"You have a whole bunch of chores to do."
"As hard as I`ve been working-"
"Zander! No buts, what`s or ifs. Got that?"
"Yes." Zander held his head down and went into his room. He plopped on his bed facing the ceiling and turned his head to the right to see a picture of a man with black short curly hair just like Zander`s and brown eyes and the a woman with sandy blonde hair with icy blue eyes with hints of hazel. His parents. He let a tear escape his eyes and whispered "I love and miss you." He flipped over to his belly and cried into his pillow and screaming a few unfriendly words into the pillow as well, until he finally got all the angrier, sadness and unbearable pain out of his system. He felt his phone vibrate on his nightstand and check the caller id. It was Nelson, his best friend along with his other bestfriend Kevin.
"Hello?" Zander said in a harsh voice threw the phone.
"Whoa, have you been crying?" Nelson asked a little shocked.
"No, get off my case." Zander snapped as he heard Kevin in the background.
"Yup, he get`s cranky when he`s upset."
"I`m not cranky." Zander defended.
"They finally broke you after along 7 years huh?" Nelson asked. Damn, he knows me to well. Zander thought.
"Tell uncle Kevin the problem." Kevin said as Zander gave him a confused look even though he can`t see it.
Zander shrugged and began to tell them everything what happened as they didn`t interrupt once.
"Hey, idea alert!" Nelson exclaim.
"Well..." Kevin and Zander said at once.
"What if you got all the chores done before Saturday? I mean you got two more days until the ball."
"Nelson, you're a genius!" I jumped off the bed excited.
"I know I am." Zander could tell Nelson had his hands on his hips, flipping his hair.
"Thanks guys."
"No problem." And with that their conversation ended.
The next morning Zander alarm went off extra early so he could clean the whole entire house so he could be able to go to the ball. Zander signed and turned his head to the right to where his nightstand was located and looked at his clock. It read 6:45. He snatched the pillow from the back of his head and pulled it to his face. "AHHHH!" He screamed into the pillow and then finally got up as he tossed his pillow back onto the bed. "I`m doing this for Stevie." He muttered as he headed to the bathroom to take a shower and brush his teeth. He put on a blue v-neck t shirt with grey skinny jeans and combat boots and got to work. This is going to be a long day he thought.
Timed passed
Zander was finally done and the house looked spotless. You could eat off the floor if you want but I wound do that to be safe. It was just noon and he was already finished. He signed and plopped down onto the couch. His dad and his brother just walked and whistled amazed.
"Wow, Zander," His dad said impressed,"You did pretty good."
Wow the first ever compliment."Thanks, so now that I`m done with my entire chore I can go to the ball, right?" Zander said hopefully as he sat up straight.
"Dad!" Justin hissed.
"Hush," He told Justin and looked back at Zander."Do you have anything to wear?" This slipped Zander`s mind. He totally forgot to get something to wear.
"I forgot, but I will-"
"Sorry, but you have to have this planed out." Justin smirked at what his father just said.
"But-"
"Zander." He said sternly. Zander couldn`t believe he had cleaned this whole entire house and still not go to the ball. He shot up out of that room to get away from those people he called his family.
Next day
The next day which was Saturday, the day of the ball and Zander still couldn`t go. He got bored and showed up a Kevin`s house which him and Nelson was there getting ready to attended the ball.
"Hey Zander," Kevin said as he opened the door but then got a confused look on his face, "Um, why aren't you ready?"
Zander gripped on his ukulele stapes and explained "I`m not going." Kevin open the door wider for Zander to pass.
"Why?"
"My dad say 'oh you don`t have an outfit' or blah." He mimicked his dad just as Nelson entered the room wearing a tux.
'Oh, hey Zander." Nelson greeted.
"Zander, isn`t coming to the ball." Kevin informed.
"What! Why not?"
"Because, I don`t have anything to wear." Zander repeated.
"Maybe I have something for you," Kevin said as he headed up stares but as he reached the top he peeked his head out and said, "Well don`t just sit there, follow me."
Nelson and Zander quickly followed into Kevin`s parents room. Kevin looked into the closet and got a old box that had dust on it and then blow it off which made the three of them to cough.
"What is that, ancient time?" Nelson joked as he wave the dust away with his hand.
"No," Kevin says as he opens the box to reveal a silver tux, "My dad got married in this."
"Are you sure I can wear this?" Zander asked unsure as he held up the tux.
"Sure, anytime."
"Thanks." Zander left to go try it on. He came back a couple of minutes later as the others viewing him.
"You're missing something." Nelson said as he rubbed his chin.
"I know." Kevin snapped his figures and went back into his parents closet and grabbed a silver fedora and place it on Zander`s head.
"Perfect." They say at the same time.
"Wait," Zander said, "We`re missing something."
"Like what." Nelson challenged.
"Like a mask." Zander shot back.
"Right. Um...Follow." Kevin said leading him to the kitchen as he grabbed a pair of scissors and grabbed a rag and cut to eye holes into them.
"Here you go." Kevin handed to him.
"Really?"
"Hey, I did enough alright."
"Fair enough." Zander shrugged and tied the mask to his head.
"Not bad." Nelson admitted.
"So where are you masks?" Zander asked.
"Right here." They both put on their masks and where ready to leave.
At the ball
Zander`s pov
We finally made it to the ball on time. I spotted Justin and my dad here.
"Kevin, Nelson," I called, "What am I going to do?"
"About what?" Nelson asked as I pointed to Justin and my dad.
"Don`t worry Zander, it`s a masquerade party, no one knows who's who." Kevin informed.
"Are you sure?"
"Positive. Now stop acting paranoid and party." Nelson said as he did a weird dance.
"Ok, do everything but that." Kevin said as Nelson said "Hey!" obviously offended which made me laugh.
"I`m going to go check this place out." I said as they nodded. I went to go look at the balcony first to see a very pretty and elegant flower garden.
"Hi." I heard a female voice as he turned around. He was wonderstrucked, it was the one and only Stevie Baskara.
"Hello your majesty." I was about to bow but she stopped me.
"No, need for that." She was wearing a velvet red dress with loose ruffles that fell from here dress, her mask was black with red design with a red rose and feathers on the top right corner of it, a red sparkly ring bow, red finger nail polish and red combat boots? (Outfit linked in profile)
"I`m sorry." I blushed embarrassed.
"No need to apologize." She looked at my ukulele. "Cool, you have ukulele."
I looked relief. "Finally, a person who doesn't call it a tiny guitar." I cheered.
I could see her lips curved into a smile. "Yeah, I hate when people call it that." We then sat on a bench.
"You can play?"
"Sure." I handed my uku to her as she began to strum a soft melody.
"You shout it out,
But I can't hear a word you say
I'm talking loud not saying much
I'm criticized but all your bullets ricochet
You shoot me down, but I get up
I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
Cut me down
But it's you who'll have further to fall
Ghost town and haunted love
Raise your voice, sticks and stones may break my bones
I'm talking loud not saying much
I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
I am titanium
I am titanium
Stone-hard, machine gun
Fired at the ones who run
Stone-hard as bulletproof glass
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
I am titanium."
I was speechless. I never knew she had a heart for music like I did.
"That was-" But she cut me off.
"Horrible, I know." She said handing me back my uku.
"No, that was amazingly amazing." I could see a bright shade of pink rise to her cheeks.
"I like your combat boots." I gave her a small smile.
"Thanks." She looked away so I wouldn`t see the smile on her face.
"You`re not like other girls are you?"
"Oh, darling, I`m way off from other girls." She looked back at me as I chuckled at her comment.
"I see." We started talking for awhile and we know almost everything about eachother. We stopped and looked into each other's eyes a slowly started leaning until.
"Sorry princess, but we have to take him away." Kevin and Nelson then dragged me away from the confused girl. We headed to the door before I could start asking questions.
"Ok, why did you drag me away?"
"Sorry, but your dad and brother are leaving." Nelson explained as my eyes widen.
'What!"
"Oh, now he catches on." Kevin said as I rolled my eyes.
"We have to get home!" I yelled.
"No stuff-"I interrupted Nelson.
"No need for the sass."
I finally got home and quickly changed into my pj`s and jumped into bed as I heard someone come up the stairs. I pretended I was reading a look as Justin burst into my room yelling "Ah-ha!"
I gave him a confused look as dad crossed his arms and shook his head as he left
Justin looked to see if we were out of ear sight and came towards me. "I know you were at the ball."
"How can I be at the ball if I couldn`t go?" I asked.
"Don`t give me that crap. I know you were."
"Prove it." I smirked as he stomped out of my room slamming the door behind him. I got up and went to check and see if he saw my tux but when I did I didn`t see the mask. I dropped the mask! And not mention I didn`t even give her my name!
The next day
I was just pacing around my room and worrying about the missing mask that might give away my identity, no big deal. Oh by the way I was being sarcastic. I heard my door bell ring, luckily my dad or brother was at home at the moment so hey, why not have company.
I opened the door. "Dude, did you hear?" Kevin said as him and Nelson barge into my home.
"Sure, come on in." I said sarcastically as I closed the door. "So what didn`t I hear?"
"Have you seen this poster?" Nelson asked.
He showed me a poster with my mask on it and it read:
Hello darlings! It`s just me Stevie. I have an very important question that`s been burning in my head. Is this your mask? I will be checking door to door to see if you're the one I met at the ball last night.
-Perfectly Imperfect
She must have found my mask!
I ran my fingers threw my short curly black hair and signed."What are we going to do?"
"Well, we just can`t go up to her and say 'What`s up Stevie. Hey, I left the mask, let`s get married.'" Nelson said in a jersey accent which made him and Kevin crack up.
"Oh, you're so funny, I forgot to laugh….I don`t talk like that."
"Yeah, sure you don`t." Kevin said high fiving Nelson.
"Guy! Stay on topic please."
"Sorry." They say together.
"Well, whatever we do-"But I was interrupted by the door opening. I didn`t know they were going to be home so early.
"Quick, hide." I whisper/shouted. They did what they were told and hid.
"So, Zander, I heard noises." My dad said as I turned around.
I began to scratch the back of my neck nervously, "What? I`m the only one here."
"Maybe, he`s crazy." Justin shot.
"Are you sure no one`s here?"
"Positive." They gave me a suspious look before shaking their heads.
"We can`t worry about you, what we do need to worry about is that mask the princess is trying to find." Justin said obviously stressed and upset that that wasn`t him with that mask.
"The princess is looking for the mask?" I played clueless.
"Yes, but you weren`t at the ball so, this doesn't concern you." My dad said as him and Justin leave.
I waited until their were out of ear sight. "You can come out now." I said to Nelson and Kevin who came out of the closet.
"Thank you," Nelson said, "Kevin over here was trying so hard to keep his anger under control."
"Well, sorry but, they were disrespecting my boy."
"It`s ok." Then the door bell ranged. I looked confused before asking, "Who`s that?" All they did was shook their heads. I made my way to the door before I yelled for them to get back into the closet as I heard them sign. I opened the door to see….Stevie?
"Hello, your majesty." I greeted.
"Hello, fellow human." She greeted back.
"So what brings you here?"
"I was coming from door to door because someone left their mask at my party." I nodded before Justin (Which he came out of nowhere) pushed me so he could be facing Stevie.
"How are you doing your majesty?" He bowed.
"Um, fine." She looked weirded out by him.
"Justin, do you have to be so rude?" I glared at him.
"Do you have to be so annoying?" He shot back until dad came to settle us.
"Sorry, about them." He said as Stevie just giggled with an amused smirk on her face.
"No, problem. They seemed cool," One of her guards cleared his throat as she started over, "I mean they seemed pleasant." She rolled her eyes.
I looked down to see she has been forced to wear heel.
"Ok, so who`s going first?" She asked as Justin took the mask and placed on his head.
"See." He said posing.
Stevie giggled at this as I bolded my hand into fist. "Sorry cutie, but I don`t think he had blonde hair." She ruffled his hair before turning to me. "What about you?"
I opened my mouth to say something when my dad`s voice came out instead. "He couldn`t, he wasn`t there."
"Are you sure because, he has the same short black curly hair as him." She looked confused until Nelson and Kevin burst into the room.
"Actually, he was there." Nelson said as Kevin nodded his head and agreement.
"We got proof." Kevin continued.
"That`s impossible." My dad said shocked.
"Ok, 3 question," Stevie says as I nodded,"What song did I play for you?"
"Titanium." I answered simply.
"What shoes was I wearing?"
"Red combat boots."
"And last, what did I tell you not to do?"
"You told me not to bow." I saw lips turned into a smile. In a corner of my eye, I could see Justin stomping away with dad comforting him.
"Come on Kevin," Nelson said as he pulled Kevin out the door and closed the door.
"I`m glad I found you at last." She said before I connected my lips with her pink plump lips at last.
2 years later
Finally I`m here wearing a tux for my wedding. We decided we didn`t want to rush thing so we took more time to know each other and well basically we know every single detail about each other.
She came down the aisle wearing a white sleeveless dress with ruffles on the bottom with a silver belt around her waist and white heels, a white bow with red lipstick on her. She looked beautiful. I realized that it may seemed terrible at first but you could always find a happy ever after at the end.
