Story 3: Cinderella
Long time ago in some unnamed country, though not uncharted… There lives a lovely woman named Peach and not Cinderella, despite the chapter title. Even though she is beautiful, she is not well known at all in the town; in fact, barely anyone outside knows who she is.
Why is such a beautiful woman so unknown to the outside world?
You see, her unnamed father (played by Mario) was an overprotective man and didn't want her to be disgraced by the evils of the outside world, and her mother (played by a female wireframe) died early, thus making the father worry even more about Peach not being able to grow up into a fine daughter. So he kept her indoors the whole time, so Peach knew very little about the outside world.
To make things worse, the father later remarried a new wife named Crazy Stepmother (played by Crazy Hand), and a strict one at that, because he thinks she will discipline Peach well. Crazy Stepmother was formerly married, but her husband ran away from home from unknown yet quite obvious reasons, and she still has her two daughters, who Peach address as stepsisters.
The stepmother is not beautiful at all; she lacks all sorts of feature that makes her attractive. Now I'm starting to get why the father ran away from home. Her daughters, however, are different. One daughter, Ms. Merry Christmas, is even uglier than her, and even looks older than her. The second daughter, Califa, is really beautiful. As beautiful as she is, her personality isn't really attractive, and this is the reason why most men don't like her very much. Anyone who tries to flirt with her will not only be called sexual harasser by her but also get beaten up by her too.
Now you'll probably ask why I didn't use Smashers as the stepsisters, it is because there are no more appropriate women in the cast, so I picked someone from my older stories.
So anyway, the stepmother and her daughters are very mean towards Peach, but the father thinks that it is a very good and different way of disciple, despite the fact Peach is unhappy all time.
So as time went pass, the father went away on a faraway trip for several days, but then he never came back, because…
Because…
Aye, sad news…
He found a new woman out there and married her illegally and was caught by the police, and therefore probably won't come back again. This is sad news for Peach, but happy news for the evil stepmother and her daughters, because they get all of the father's properties and they get to pick on poor Peach all day.
What is the world coming too?!
And so, our story begins… Wait, didn't the story already begin?
-
It all began with one lovely morning…
Peach is cleaning the house like she always does. Ms. MC happens to be passing by and then spills orange tea purposely onto the floor. "Hey Pooch!" she shouted at Peach. "Hurry up and clean the floor before those ants come!"
"But you spilt it yourself!" claims Peach.
Out of anger, Ms. MC smacks Peach in the face and shouts at her, "Is that how a servant should reply to her master? Hurry up and clean it and also make me a new one!"
Peach had no choice but to clean the spilt tea, and imagine how painful her feeling is. After wiping up the dirty spot, she heads into the kitchen to make a new two for her fat, ugly stepsister. It should be noted that Peach secretly added laxative into this tea also. After she's done, she hands it to Ms. MC and then walks off to do something else.
Suddenly, Califa calls her. "Peach, there's still soap on the window. Clean it up."
"But I just cleaned it!" claims Peach. "You made that soap with your Devil Fruit powers, didn't you?"
"Clean it!"
Peach had no choice but to do so, because she's gonna get Shigan'd if she didn't.
After a long hard day of work, she returns into her room in the basement and sighs. "Aye… When will I ever get out of this fine mess?"
Poor Peach didn't have any friends, except for a mouse named Pikachu. He's the only person who is ever nice to her and is responsible for keeping her up with events of the outside world.
-
One day, a message is spread throughout the whole town and a special one too, because it's from the king (played by Master Hand). The message went like this: The king is planning to find his son Roy a new bride, and to do so, he is inviting all the young unmarried (of course) maidens to come to the castle for a ballroom party and Roy will choose his bride there.
Of course, many of the girls are really happy, as Roy is very handsome and it is said girls have always fought for a long time just to be with him, and now's the chance at last!
When the news reached Peach's home, Ms. MC is very happy, because if she marries Roy, she will become princess, and that's her life-long dream! Califa has no interest though. Crazy Stepmother is very happy too, but then realizes that he… I mean she is too old to be married again.
Peach isn't so happy to hear this, as she knows very well that she probably won't get a chance to go. But deep in heart, she believes in one thing, and that is the fairy godmother. Surely the magical old woman will pop out of nowhere and aid her in her despair. She believes firmly that the fairy godmother will come to her for sure!
But something unexpected happened. CS went directly to Peach and asks her, "So do you want to go to ballroom party?"
Surprised at such a question, Peach replies, "Of course! That's unlike of you to ask me this!"
"Of course, I am a nice person too! They say every unmarried woman can go, and you too are a woman!"
"Thanks a lot, stepmother!"
"But do you have any beautiful dresses?"
"Um…"
"Then sucks to be you. Hahahahaha!" And CS flies laughing stupidly and cruelly.
-
And so, the time came for the party, and CS and her two daughters went to the palace, and poor Peach is left home because she doesn't have any beautiful dresses. She is weeping sadly out in the garden and Pikachu is there to comfort her.
"Don't cry, Peach," Pikachu said to her. "I'm sure a miracle will happen someday."
Peach lifts up her face and says, "I believe it will happen now. The fairy godmother will surely come to my aid."
"Who is that?"
Suddenly, the air above them begins to change. Purple thunderbolts begin to gather and take the form of a being. "The fairy godmother must be here!" exclaims Peach. "At last!"
Then in a blast of light, Mewtwo is seen floating in air, and he slowly descends onto the ground next to Peach. "You were expecting me, weren't you?" he asks.
"He's more like… fairy godfather…" says Pikachu.
"Oh fairy godmother!" says Peach happily.
"I prefer godfather," says Mewtwo.
"Fine… Fairy Godfather, I…"
"I know what you want to say. You don't have any beautiful dresses to go to the party and you need my help to get there as fast as possible."
"Yes."
"Fine, let's make it snappy! Go get me whatever vegetable you can find."
Peach pulls a turnip out of the ground in a split second and hands it Mewtwo. "Do I need to be the horsemen?" asks Pikachu.
"What century is this that we are still using horses?" asks Mewtwo. "That's not necessary now."
"Oh."
Mewtwo lifts up his hand and magical energy begins to gather in his palm, and he hurls it at the turnip, and the turnip explodes into pieces. "Oops, wrong spell…" So Peach got out another one and Mewtwo did the same trick again, and the turnip transforms into a jet!
"I was expecting a horse carriage…" says Peach.
"I said what century is this that we still need those things already," Mewtwo tells her. "Now we have to something about your current old dress." He performs another spell and hurls it at Peach, and in a bright flash, Peach is now wearing a beautiful, glittering dress and with fur shoes!
"Fur shoes?" asks Peach curiously. "Shouldn't it be glass?"
"They say in the original French version of Cinderella, it was fur shoes," explains Mewtwo.
"I don't care! I want glass shoes! They're much better!"
"Fine…" Mewtwp snaps his finger and the shoes become glass in a blink of an eye.
Pikachu look at Peach from top to bottom and marvel at her beauty. "You look so perfect, Peach!"
"Thank you, Pikachu!" says Peach.
"Now hurry up and go," Mewtwo tells her. "Be sure to come back before midnight, for that's when my spell effect ends. If you are left in rags at the palace, what will people say of you?"
"Thank you very much, fairy godfather! I…"
"No need to thank me; I'm just doing my job," says Mewtwo humbly.
"I haven't cleaned the toilet yet. Can you help me do it while I'm gone?"
"…"
And so, Peach got into the jet, and because the jet is auto-controlled, it automatically lifts up into the air and flies towards the palace at high speed. "Good-bye, Peach!" says Pikachu as he waves good-bye.
"Now to clean the toilet," says Mewtwo, hovering into the house.
-
At the palace gates, many people are just stepping into the palace to begin the party when they hear an engine sound. They lift their heads up to see a jet descending into the palace grounds!
"It's a bird!"
"It's a plane!"
"No, it's a jet!"
The jet lands and then Peach steps out from it and amazed everyone. "I hope nobody got scared…" says Peach.
-
Inside the palace, there are several people chatting and eating. If this were an animation or comic book, then you would see many characters from my past stories, but since this is only words… oh well… Use your imaginations.
On the throne, Master Hand is sitting there and next to him is Prince Roy. "Have you found your favorite girl yet?" the king asks Roy.
"Not so fast," replies Roy. "The party hasn't even started yet!"
"Oh yeah… Well then, what are we waiting for? Let us start the party!"
Under the king's commands, the music begins playing and everyone got up and started dancing and do stuff.
All the Roy fangirls immediately gather around him and plead him to dance with either of them, but Roy simply acted cool and walks pass them in such a fashion that the girls all fainted out of excitement.
Then Ms. MC runs up to him and says, "My prince! I've wanted to meet you for so long!"
"Uh… hi…" says Roy quietly disgusted at the sight of an ugly woman.
"Please dance with me!"
"But…"
Not giving Roy a chance to answer, Ms. MC grabs him by his hands and they begin spinning around wildly. When they danced near a random hobo named Bowser, Roy slips his hands off Ms. MC's hands and somehow replaces it with Bowser's, and then runs off before she notices it.
Roy makes his way through the crowd, and all places you can here girls shouting happily at him. Then his eyes met on Califa and he is immediately love struck. He goes up to her and asks for a dance, but the reply he got was, "This is sexual harassment."
"Forget it…" mumbles Roy, and then he walks off disappointedly.
He continues to walk around the palace looking for the perfect girl, and then he finally takes notice of Peach. He quickly walks up to her and asks, "Hello! You're so beautiful! May I dance with you tonight?"
"Gladly!" replies Peach happily. And the both of them begin dancing.
"Hey! Isn't that Peach?" says Ms. MC. "How on earth did she get here?!"
"And where did she get that dress from?" asks Califa.
"But I never gave her money to buy something like that!" says Crazy Stepmother.
Throughout the whole night, Roy and Peach only danced with each other and not to mention do lots of fun stuff. Master Hand watches happily, for his son has at long last found the girls of his dreams. Of course, you can imagine how jealous all the other fangirls are.
After a long time, the clock finally struck twelve and the bell begins ringing to signify midnight. This is when Peach remembered what Mewtwo told her. She pulls herself out of Roy's hand and says to him, "I must go now…"
"Why? We still have lots of time together," says Roy.
"I don't have time to explain things to you, but let us hope we meet again." So Peach quickly runs towards the exit in a huge hurry. In fact, she was in such a hurry that one of her glass shoes fell onto the floor.
"Wait!" shouts Roy as he runs after her, but Peach had already gotten inside the jet and took off. Roy picks up the glass slipper that she dropped. "It's her shoe... How beautiful…" Then he smells the odor coming out from the shoe, and his face turns green and he falls over and faints.
-
Peach is very desperate to get back, because Mewtwo had told her that the magic spell effect will wear off at midnight. "I must get home before it is too late!" she thought. Finally, her house is at sight and the jet is now above the roof and making a loop in midair to turn around and land in the garden.
But suddenly, the jet disappears and Peach finds her self sitting upside-down on a turnip in midair, and then she falls towards the house below. "YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!"
She falls headfirst into the house's chimney but gets stuck there at waist level. In other words, she is stuck in the chimney with her lower-half body sticking out into the air.
-
The next morning, Roy is sitting very depressed in his room, so Master Hand asks him what's wrong. "I want to marry the girl I danced with yesterday, but I'm not sure if I'll meet her again…" he replies sadly.
MH sees the glass shoe in Roy's room, and an idea comes to him.
Soon, the king sends a messenger out to town and announce to every woman who came to the party yesterday night to come out to the plaza and test this glass shoe. Anyone who can fit it will marry Roy. This idea seems good to Roy, so he agrees to give it a try, and imagine the reactions of the girls who heard this.
-
Back at Peach's house, Ms. MC is super excited to hear this. "I will put on the shoes and then marry the prince!" she says to herself.
"I don't care much for that thing," says Califa. "But since I have nothing to do, I'll just go over and take a look."
"Let us go together," says Crazy Stepmother. "Peach has no chance of meeting the prince at this moment." And so, the three of them left the house.
Now the scene switches onto the roof of the house, where you see Peach still stuck upside-down in the chimney. She has been stuck there the whole night all until now, and no matter how hard she struggled, she just couldn't get in or out. "Somebody help me!" she shouts at the top of her voice, but her voice is blocked off by the chimney walls and nobody outside can hear her.
Then Pikachu shows up at the rooftop and runs towards her. "Peach! You have to listen to this!" He quickly explains to her what the king is planning to do. "You must get there quick and put on the glass shoe!"
"Then get me out of here quick!" she replies.
Pikachu climbs up onto her and jumps up and down on top of her butt in hope of pressing her down into the chimney, but to no avail…
-
At the plaza, several women are testing out the glass shoe, but every woman who tried so far couldn't put it on. Ms. MC comes onto the stage and blows a kiss at Roy, who simply makes a disgusted face. Ms. MC puts on the shoe and tries her hardest to put it on, but it simply won't fit. "I don't believe this! I'm going to try until it works!" she growls. And she keeps on trying until the guards convinced her that it won't do and then pulls her back into the crowd.
After all the women have tried and none worked, Roy got up sadly and says, "Seems like none of them is the one…"
-
Meanwhile, Pikachu is still trying his hardest to push Peach down, but there is still no progress. "It won't work…" says Pikachu. Then he looks at the place where the event is being held and sees that the people are leaving. "Oh no! It's over!"
"Nooooo!!!!!!!" cries Peach in despair. "Not only do I not get the chance to meet the prince and change my life forever, but I'm also stuck in this chimney for eternity!!!!"
"I won't let that happen! I'll let the prince see you no matter what!" says Pikachu determinedly. He pulls out one of Peach's socks from her foot and then makes his way down to the ground, and rushes in the direction of the prince as fast as he can.
After making his way through town, he finally caught up with the prince. "Prince Roy! Wait up!"
Roy looks down at the Pokemon who is holding a sock in his mouth. "What is it, little one?"
"This sock belongs to Peach, the woman you danced with yesterday!"
"Really?!" Roy grabs the sock and smells its odor, and immediately recognizes it as the same odor he smelled from the glass shoe yesterday. "It has the same scent! Quick, take me to her!"
"No problem!"
-
Back at the house, Ms. MC is really disappointed that she couldn't wear the shoes. "Now I'll never be able to marry the prince! Waaaaaaaah!!!!!!"
"Just get over it," Califa tells her.
Then there was a knock on the door and CS opens it and is surprised to see the prince. "Oh prince! I wasn't expecting you! Come in!"
"Oh my prince! Have you come to marry me?" asks Ms. MC excitedly.
"Where is Peach? I know she is in here!" says Roy sternly.
"Who are you talking about?" asks CS. "There is nobody here known as Peach. You probably came to the wrong house."
"This little Pokemon told me everything. I will not forgive your rudeness towards my bride-to-be!"
-
Back on the rooftop, Peach is still struggling and flailing around her legs to get out of the chimney. "I can hear the prince's voice!" she thought. "I must get out of here fast!" She continues to struggle, but then the fairy godfather pops out next to the chimney.
"Having a tough luck, eh?" asks Mewtwo.
Hearing Mewtwo's voice, Peach says, "Where were you the whole night when I needed you to help me?!"
"You're not the only person in the world who needs my help, you know," he replies. "Anyway, the prince is down there and he wants to see you. Why don't you hurry up and go meet him?"
"Can't you see I'm stuck?!"
"Who said you're stuck?" Mewtwo then makes a large spoon appear magically in his hands, and he lifts it over himself.
-
Back down there…
"Stop messing with me!" says Roy with a tinge of anger. "I know Peach is here!"
"Seriously! She doesn't live here!" says CS, sounding rather desperate. "You must have it wrong!"
"Right! How can the words of a mouse be trusted?" says Ms. MC.
"It's true! Don't listen to them!" Pikachu says to Roy.
-
Mewtwo swings the spoon down on top of Peach's butt, and with such a strong impact, Peach is sent shooting right down the chimney (which got smashed into pieces too) and lands into the fireplace inside the house.
CRAAAAAAASH!!!!!!
Everyone turns to the direction of the fireplace and sees Peach there with soot all over her body. "Prince… cough… I'm here…" she says.
"Peach! Is it really you?" Roy then walks towards him to give her the glass shoe.
Not wanting things to go as the original story, Califa releases several soap water onto the floor beneath Roy and makes him slip. Roy lands onto the floor and the glass shoe flies into the air and is about to hit the floor and shatter into pieces when suddenly Mewtwo grabs it using telekinesis. "That was close," he says.
"Fairy godfather!" says Peach.
"Hurry up and put it on." Mewtwo hands Peach the glass shoe and she instantly puts it on. Magically, several lights appear around her, and when it died down, Peach is in a really beautiful dress!
"Wow! You really are the woman I danced with yesterday!" exclaims Roy.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!" cry the three wicked women.
"Yes!" exclaims Pikachu happily.
"At last… My dream came true…" says Peach happily with tears in her eyes.
And so, Peach and Roy got married and lived happily ever after, and the three wicked women were banished from the country for their wickedness. Pikachu moved into the palace to live also, and Mewtwo the fairy godfather disappeared and was never seen again.
As for Peach's father Mario, he's still in jail.
END OF STORY
I hope you like it, even though I think it's not as funny as the previous two.
Trivia:
1. It is said that in the original French version of Cinderella, it was fur shoes that she wore, but due to translation error when brought over to English, it became glass shoes.
