Impossible, for a plain yellow pumpkin to become a golden carriage. Impossible, for a plain county bumpkin and a prince to join in marriage. A slipper, made of glass, is just a shoe. And dreamers, never really made a dream come true. Impossible. Hey. I'm Eden, and I'll be telling you a story of how I help Ruby marry her Prince Charming, John Barrix. Now I know, there are two stepsisters in the story, Cinderella, but we changed Stepmother into Stepfather in this one. So, here's the story.

It all started in Hollow Bastion. Where people shop and play and have a good time. Also, a family came this way to the hat store, a Stepfather name Voltura, two stepsisters name Psyche, and Brenda, and a beautiful girl name, Ruby.

"Come along now girls!" Said Voltura to his two lovely or should we say MEAN girls.

"Hurry up!" Said Brenda to Ruby.

"Move it!" Psyche said to Ruby as she looked forward following Voltura and Brenda.

While Ruby was carrying all the luggage and following her stepsisters and stepfather to the hat shop. All the people in Hollow Bastion are friendly and kind. There were no bad people there to scare them away like those dreadful Nightmares, but that's another story, now were at the hat store where a little puppet show was playing at. The Puppet figure of the prince asked the kids, "Have any of you have seen Lady Marina, oh where she has been?"

As Ruby was walking to her Stepfamily, she was watching the puppet show. The stepsisters were trying on hats, when Psyche was looking at the black feathery hat, she tried to grab it, but Brenda grabbed it first and asked her father, "What do you think dad?"

Voltura looked at Brenda, "It's certainly not the sort of thing you see here everyday."

He chuckled and as Psyche looked at Brenda, "I saw it first," and she put the hat on her head, "how do you think it looks on me, Father?"

Brenda put her finger pointing to her mouth and gagged, "Awful!"

Psyche glared at Brenda, "I wasn't asking you!"

Voltura stopped the fighting and said, "How can a father choose between such lovely daughters?"

Voltura didn't want to think about that and walked into the store. As Ruby was watching the puppet show, her stepsisters tried to get her attention. Brenda called to Ruby first, "Ruby? Ruby!?"

That caught her attention, "Yes?"

"What do you think? Does it look good on me?" Brenda asked.

But Psyche took the hat away from Brenda and placed it on her head, "Or me?"

Brenda growled at Psyche. When Ruby started to think of her answer she honestly said, "I don't know much about hats, but I don't think it flatters even one of you."

Brenda and Psyche gasped at Ruby's words, Brenda glared at Ruby and talked to Psyche, "Why did you ask her for?"

Brenda answered as she went for the hat, "She doesn't know anything about hats, she said so herself."

Brenda and Psyche fight over the hat as Brenda swiped it from Psyche's head, "Give it to me! It's mine! DAD!!!!"

Brenda and Psyche together ran towards the door and tried to get in, as for our girl, Ruby, well, she had other plans as she watched the puppet prince talking swoony to the puppet princess, for that, she began to sing.

(Song starts)

Ruby: The sweetest sounds I'll ever hear are still inside my head
The kindest words I'll ever know are waiting to be said
The most entrancing sight of all is yet for me to see
And the dearest love in all the world is waiting somewhere for me
Is waiting somewhere
Some where for me

(As she was singing, her stepfather yelled at her, "RUBY!" She went to get the stuff and Brenda talked, "Have you ever seen such a lazy girl in your life?" Then Psyche asked, "Who are you calling lazy!?" Then Brenda blared at Psyche, "Not you stupid, Ruby." Then Psyche asked again, "Who are you calling stupid?!")

John Barrix: The sweetest sounds I'll ever hear are still inside my head
The kindest words I'll ever know are waiting to be said
The most entrancing sight of all is yet for me to see
And the dearest love in all the world is waiting somewhere for me Is waiting somewhere
Somewhere for me

John Barrix: The Sweetest Sounds I'll ever hear

(Ruby: The sweetest sounds I'll ever hear are still inside my head
the kindest words I'll ever know)

John Barrix: is yet for me to see

Ruby and John Barrix: And the dearest love in all the world is waiting somewhere for me
is waiting somewhere

Ruby: Waiting somewhere

John Barrix: Is waiting somewhere

(Song stops)

Ooh, looks like the carriage made Ruby drop her stepfather and stepsisters' things on the floor being trampled by a horse. Not nice. But it's a good thing Prince John Barrix came to help, "Are you alright miss?"

Ruby sighed, "Yes, I'm fine, I think."

John handed her Psyche's hat and kept on helping Ruby, "Here you go. Just like those royals isn't it? Not caring if they're in anybody's way."

Ruby collected the luggage, "Well, I'm sure they're going somewhere very important."

John chuckled, "I doubt it."

They looked each other in the eyes, Ruby smiled as she doesn't know what's going on, "Thanks. Thanks for your help."

Ruby started to leave, but John stops her, "Wait, what's your name?"

Ruby stopped and answered, "Ruby."

John was confused, "Beg your pardon?"

Ruby looked at John again and said her name again, but with explaining, "Ruby. Like a red gem on July."

John finally understands her name, "Ah, Ruby. I like it."

Ruby was a little frightened by the look on John's face, "I-I-It grows on you. I-I-I guess. E-Excuse me."

Ruby then starts to leave, but as usual, the Prince stops her with a lot of questions, no one at a time is what I meant to say, "Tell me, Ruby. What would a man have to do to find himself in your good graces?"

Ruby asked John, "Who wants to know?"

John thought of an idea and said, "Let's just say, a charming stranger."

Ruby smiled, "This charming stranger sees pretty sure of himself, but he had to get to know me better than some girl he met on the streets"

John chuckled as he was in front of Ruby walking backwards towards the Flower cart, "Oh, but he like to, very much."

They both gasped and Ruby felt embarrassed, "Oh my."

Ruby started to leave, and John tried to catch up with her, and Ruby continued, "I'm not sure if I want to meet this stranger. I doubt if he has any idea how a girl should be treated like-"

John interrupted her, "Like a princess, I suppose?"

Ruby looked at John seriously, "No. Like a person with kindness and respect."

John sighed, "You're not like most girls, are you?"

"What do you mean?" Ruby asked John.

John answered, "Nothing, I didn't mean to offend you."

Ruby turned away and back at John with a smile, "It's alright. You should see me in a pretty sheltered life."

John smiled, "So have I."

Ruby smiled too, "Really?"

John chuckled, "Everyday is the same ol' routine."

Ruby finally understood what he's talking about, "Until you just want to runaway-"

Then, for the first time they said it at the same time, "And never come back."

They smiled and smiled, but there's someone calling for Ruby, her stepdad, Voltura, "I thought I told you never to talk to strangers!"

Ruby ran to Voltura, Brenda, and Psyche, "I'm so sorry stepfather."

John looked at Ruby, "I hope I see you again, Ruby."

(Song starts)

And he left, but Ruby is still smiling and Voltura commands Ruby, "Well hurry up with those packages! What are you doing?!"

He and the stepsisters leaves and Ruby starts to sing.

Ruby: The most entrancing sight of all is yet for me to see.

John Barrix and Ruby: And the dearest love of all in all the world is waiting somewhere, (Voltura yells, "RUBY!" and Ruby follows Voltura) somewhere for me.

(Song ends)

The Price went in his carriage, Ruby left and believe she'll see him again, but the carriage went to the palace of Hollow Bastion where Queen Maratha and King Hiram lives at with their vizier, Abis Mal.
