(Present Day)

"Cinderstar! Wash my dress!" Ariel shouts. "Yes, Ariel. You lazy drama queen." Star shouts back.

Star washes the dress against a rough piece of wood with grooves, in a tub of soapy water. After 20 minutes of scrubbing, she lays the dress out to dry. She finally relaxes on the burgundy sofa, relieved by a day of chimney sweeping, scrubbing, and sewing. And also tons of scars from the needles.

"Cinderstar! Cook us dinner!" Star groans and gets up, much to the dismay of her aching, bare feet. Star then quickly goes to the kitchen, not to make dinner, but to get her comrade, Tad. Star, despite doing chores since she was born, is not a great cook. So she has Tad do the meals. He's been her only friend inside the castle walls. "Tad! We have to cook dinner, now!" "Okay, Star. Pass me the flour!"

Star throws the flour to Tad, covering him in white powder. Tad stares at her with a blank face.

"Oh, I am so sorry!" Star ends up bursting with laughter. Tad then joins in.

Heinous, and her two daughters, Kelly and Ariel, are waiting at the huge table, fit for a party of four. Yet, one chair is dusty and untouched. Kelly, starts to mess with her huge, puffy, teal hair. Ariel is adjusting her tiara on her white as snow locks.

Heinous has a grumpy face on as always, but this time her patience is about to break. "CINDERSTAR!" There's no reply from Star. Heinous then gets up and heads towards the kitchen.

Star, with flour all over her face, is having a flour fight with Tad. "Tad! Stop it!" Star says playfully.

"WHAT IS HAPPENING IN HERE?!" Heinous shouts with a great force of anger. Star and Tad stop throwing flour and stand stiff. "Tad, why are you helping Cinderstar? She should be the one cooking our lobster, our soup, our bread!"

As Miss Heinous steps forward, Star steps in front of Tad.

"Stop! It was my idea!"

"Cinderst-"

"It's Star."

"No, you are Cinderstar. Cause that's all you're ever going to be." Heinous then slaps Star across the face, leaving her heart birthmarks hidden by a plum bruise. "TO YOUR ROOM, NOW!" Star runs to her dungeon room. "AND YOU!" Heinous points to Tad with a staggering finger. "COOK US OUR DINNER! NOW!" "Yes, Miss Heinous."

While Heinous and her two daughters eat a wonderfully cooked lobster, Star is left starving in her dungeon room.
