Cinderella Chapter 3- The Night of Dreams

Author Notes: (SPECIAL ALERT) Hey guys wanted to let you know that by next week I won't be able to upload stories due to some stuff going on. So I'm doing as many chapters as possible by the end of this week. Pm's and reviews for my stories would be a nice thing to come back to. I don't own fariytales and pokemon Thank you all

"Why hello Lady Ninetales, I'm your Clefairy godmother and I've come to grant you a wish." The mystical pokemon smiles lovingly at her, Ninetales can only stare in a daze of disbelief.

" A wish?" asked the nervous and wounded child.

"Of course my dear, I heard your wish to the stars, I heard the desire and pain within your heart. And I want to help you. So let's get you ready for the ball." Ninetales shakes her head sadly, knowing she's in no condition…just as she's about the protest, the Fairy pokemon brings out the fire stone used to help Ninetales evolve.

"This stone on it's own won't help heal the burns and poison, but…" with a wink she continues, "With a bit of magic, it will grant your wish." The Ancient being once said to be a myth snaps her nails and the once burning red stone changes. Instead of it's fiery bright colors its now a transparent light blue, she holds it out to the sky in front of the young pokemon.

"This my dear is a miracle stone, it will give you the strength needed to get you to the ball…your wounds will temporarily vanish. Be warned though, this will only heal your injuries temporarily, you have a time limit."

Ninetales nods in understanding, too surprised and breathless for words. When the stone touches her forehead a light envelopes Ninetales, surrounding her…warming her.

As the Clefairy said all her wounds have healed and what's more is now her fur is as white as the snow and her tails, once a tinted orange have magically changed into a sapphire blue.

Despite so many changes one thing has remained the same. The strong and beautiful passion that glows within her eyes. Now Ninetales can more than happily stand, she nuzzles the pokemon.

"Oh thank you! Thank you so much, I never thought such a thing could happen to me, I'm so grateful."

"Now before you go sweet child you should know that the magic and power this stone has bestowed upon you lasts until midnight…by then you should return home, otherwise your wounds will return and be more sever than it's supposed to. Do you understand?"

The shiny Ninetales bows her head gratefully and respectfully to the wise one.

"Yes Clefairy godmother, thank you I will heed your words." Clefairy beams a dazzling smile before flying off and disappearing from the Ninetales sight.

Left behind is the miracle stone used to transform and heal the pokemons poison and burns, but its size diminished greatly, becoming palm sized.

In honor of the event and of the pokemon who helped her before, she turns the stone into a necklace. Oh how it shines on her and her silk like fur. For the next few hours, Ninetales will finally be free…even if she must face the consequences afterwards.

"I can't turn back now…Extremespeed" Off she gallops to the ball.

At the royal ball pokemon of all shapes, sizes and evolutions come to show their power, beauty and respect to the royal Mightyena family. It's here the king and queen have decided that their sons birthday and day of evolution would be the perfect day of celebration.

It is also here that the king wishes for his son Prince Mightyena to fall in love and choose a bride.

The castle has been beautifully designed with flowers and jewels of all sorts. The stars and moon, light the castle as its lights flows through the windows of the exotic palace. To any commoner it's considered a dream, a paradise even.

To avoid being surrounded by the guests, Prince Mightyena accompanied by his closest and most loyal friend Aracanine sit within the shadows, watching everyone enjoy the festivities.

"Isn't hiding in the shadows kind of pointless when it's your party of which you should be celebrating?" With a look of guilt Mightyena looks to the crowd.

"Yes however I don't feel like being trampled on by a bunch of pokemon who only wish to marry me for my wealth. You and I both know that the only reason my parents threw this party is so they could make me find a suitable bride…"

Sheepishly Arcanine can only nod in agreement."At least they're letting you decide…"

"That's because every time they tried setting me up with a blind date I either stayed locked in my room or I'd escape the palace. They know better." The bored prince sighs…

He hates doing such things and worrying his parents, however he doesn't want to marry or be used as a political/social pawn.

"At this point I don't even see how this is any better then my blind dates…I'm ready to head to my room" The inferno dog shrugs his shoulders.

"Well who knows your highness maybe you'll get 'love at first sight.' Where you'll just know that girls the one for you. I mean your perfect pokemon has got to be out there somewhere, and I know that when you find her…it'll be something everyone will be envious of."

"Haha we'll see Arcanine…we'll see…" Both smile at each other before glancing at the crowd once more.

As the prince and his friend were talking Ninetales snuck in searching for her friend Eevee, only to realize that she most likely evolved…within the shadows she sees a Flareon and Espeon in sight, by the punchbowl. Being brave she takes the risk.

"Espeon, Flareon!" The mother and daughter look around before seeing Ninetales in the dark corner, they rush to her side. In happiness the flame pokemon pounces on her foxy friend.

"I thought you'd never make it, I was so worried 'Doom for Breath' did something but look at you, you're so beautiful, Mom look!" Espeon comes up grinning proudly at her two girls.

"Wow you look incredible sweety, but are you ok?" She slightly frowns, worrying why it took her so long to arrive. The blue Ninetales takes a deep breath, hoping her friend and 2nd mom would understand what happened…

In hesitation she explains all that had happened to her. The fight with her stepmother, the Clefairy appearing before her to grant her wish, the miracle stone everything. By the time she finished speaking of her tale, her friend laughs in joy.

"If it wasn't coming from you I'd say you're crazy, but man…" Flareon shows her sharpened fangs, "I'm ready to tear apart that family of yours limb from limb, how dare they do this to you?!" Ninetales pales slightly,

"Flareon, Espeon please don't tell Houndoom about me being here or the miracle stone, right now she probably thinks I'm home. If she finds out who knows what she'll do to me."

To Espeon Ninetales is considered as a part of the Eevee family and would do anything to help her, she nuzzles her fox childs cheek and fixes her fur before replying.

"Of course we won't tell, but two things concern me, one you said this transformation is temporary, how long do you have? And the second thing, when you change back, will your burns and poisoned state return afterwards?"

"The Clefairy said that the magic will last till midnight, and I'm not sure about my condition, I know she warned that after I change back that if I do anything drastic my condition can get worse, so it's most likely the case."

All three pokemon go into silence, wrapped in each others own personal thoughts. Finally Ninetales breaks out of her thoughtful mood.

"I'm going to get some fresh air, it's a beautiful night to gaze at the stars, besides the last thing I need to do is bump into my step family…"

"Do you want one of us to come with you?" Asks Flareon. Ninetales shakes her head, the last thing she wishes to do is ruin her friends good time and worry her.

"No I'll be fine." She smiles to them, "Last I recall you wanted to find Mr. Right, right? Go battle, munch on some stuff, I'll just be outside."

"Ok, yell if you need me or mom, and we'll be your knights in shining armor." At that three chuckled before Ninetales walked out…into the unknown…
