*Eiko is still laughing from watching Beatrix and Steiner dancing TANGO and watching Freya and Fratley complaining*
Eiko: Hahahahahaa!!!!! You guys were sssssssssoooooooo hilarious out there!!!! *rolls on the ground* Ya all should've seen Steiner's face...hahaaa...he was totally freaked out!! And...hehee..did you see Freya's dress ripped? ......HAHAHAHAAHHAHAAAHAAHAHAH!!!! uh...uhh...my stomach hurts...*burst into tears*
Beatrix: Please stop it, Eiko. That was totally embarrassing...
Eiko: I'm sorry ...ohh...!
Steiner: What happened, Beatrix? Have you forgotten your role of being not...well...well-mannered?
Beatrix: *blushes* Steiner...I've never really had the chance to dance with you! Of course, I wanted to dance well!
Steiner: *blushes also* B-but...how did you come up with that funny-looking dance...TANGO, was it?! We flew across the stage over thirty times and even almost fell off the stage.
Beatrix: Well, I had to come up with something!
Steiner: Didn't you remember your rehearsals?
Beatrix: How could I? I was always on duty! Besides, I only had five rehearsals, and we really never had rehearsed the dancing part!
Steiner: *sweatdrop*
Beatrix: Uh...Freya, are you okay?
Freya: That was totally insane! Oh the heavens! What a disgrace to the name of Burmecians!
Fratley: Indeed! ...maybe we shouldn't dance together anymore... I don't wish to rip your dress in a real dance.. ^^;
Freya: NO WAY! I WANT TO DANCE WITH YOU!!! *showing big watery eyes and squeezes Fratley's tail*
Fratley: AHHWWWW!! I-I was only kidding...!!! *watery eyes*
Freya: Oh, I'm sorry, Sir Fratley. *lets go*
Fratley: Uh...it..is alright. Could you wrap a bandage onto my tail?
Freya: Goodness, break is almost over. You must go out there now, hurry!
Beatrix: You too, Steiner!
***
Now we see Prince Zidane, the king and queen, the Grand Duke (Blank), the knights, and messenger Vivi on stage. Zidane was walking back and forth, holding onto the glass slipper.
Zidane: This glass slipper is my only clue to the one I chose to be my lady...
Lani: Son, don't you know her name?
Zidane: She ran away before she could tell me.
Amarant: The Ball was a natural disaster... how are you all?
Blank: I've had fun dancing.
Fratley: Your Majesty, I shall never dance again. My feet were throbbed...
Steiner: Neither will I. I danced with a Mademoiselle with the worst dancing skills ever!
Zidane: Please! We were not here to discuss such matters, but I do wish you all better luck next time. Master Vivi, send out notice to the whole kingdom, that whoever is able to fit into this crystal slipper, then she shall be my lady!!
Vivi: Y-yes, Your Highness!
***
The background rises up and changed into the background of Dagger's house. There was Dagger washing dishes.
Beatrix: Hurry up, Dagger! We can't wait forever for the dishes!
Dagger: *singing*...see the bird as it flies by...
Freya: Hey, are you listen!? Don't forget, you still have the floor to sweep!
Dagger: Yes, stepsister.
The stepsisters back up, whispering to each other...
Beatrix: Why is she so happy...?
Freya: She must've been so sad that she has gone mental...
Ruby comes in.
Freya: Oh, mother! I can't believe Prince Zidane didn't pick me!
Beatrix: Who was that strange girl anyway?
Ruby: Please calm on, darlin's! That strange gal looked awfully familiar.
Beatrix: I don't see what's so special about her...!

Backstage
Eiko: Zidane! I still haven't asked you yet! Why did you give me those wrong lines?!
Zidane: Hey, chill! I just got the wrong lines for you, that's all! And Eiko, did you have to summon Madeen to get me back?
Eiko: It taught you, didn't it?
Zidane: *whisper* Man, Eiko could be so aggressive for a little girl...
Eiko: *knocks Zidane flat on the head* WHAT DID YOU SAY!?
Zidane: *turns around with swirly eyes* N-nothing..I just said..you're a nice little girl...
***
The step people left the stage, with only Dagger on the stage.
Dagger: That was a miracle... to be able to dance the prince.
She takes out the other glass slipper.
Dagger: I wish I'll be able to meet him again. I'm sure I will..
***
The next "morning"
Ruby: GALS!!! WAKE UP!!! *stares at the two*
There was Freya and Beatrix still fast asleep, one laid on top of each other.
Beatrix: I want a new hair style...(in her dream)
Ruby sweatdropped: Well, if ya don't wake up, you won't even need one!!! *opens the drapes*
Freya: Mother!!! Please keep it down!!!! I'm trying to get my beauty sleep!!
Ruby: You two, the prince is coming!!!!!!!!!!!! Whoever fits into the glass slipper that belonged to that Miss Snow White will become his bride!!!!
Beatrix: *pops out of bed* WHAT?! WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY IT SOONER?!!! Oh my gosh..! Oh DDDDDDAAAAGGGGGGGERRRR~~~
Dagger: yes, stepsister?
Beatrix: The prince is coming!!! Hurry and get my purple silk porcelain dress and my ribbons!!!
Freya: Hurry and get my red silk porcelain dress and my ribbons and nailpolish and mirror and lipsticks!!!
Beatrix: Add to that!
Dagger: The prince?? Certainly, stepsisters!!!
Beatrix: What's with her?? She's soo happy these days. Maybe we should give her twice as much chore.
Freya: Maybe let's just get ready for the prince!!!

Next scene
*knock knock*
Ruby: The prince is here! Get ready, gals!! *opens the door*
There was Grand Duke Blank, Coach Driver Marcus, and Prince Zidane.
Ruby: Welcome, Your Highness!!
Ruby stared at Freya and Beatrix, who were too anxious of saying or doing anything.
Ruby: Ahem..! Bow you two!!
Freya and Beatrix: OH! *bowed clumsily*
Blank: Are these the two ladies that will try on the glass slipper? *shows the slipper*
Ruby: Why, yes. Please excuse me, now Your Majesty. I shall go fix some nice tea for you.
Zidane: Now, who will be first?
Beatrix: Oh dear sister, go ahead and try it first.
Freya: No no, you can go first.
Beatrix: Oh geez, you're so nice, but no, do go first. It'll be my honor to go second.
Freya: How kind you are…
Ruby: Ahem! Gals!
Beatrix: All right, your Majesty. I shall go first… Oh! That is definitely MY slipper, Prince Zidane! Yes, I'm your bride! *chases Blank around for the slipper*
Blank: M-Mademoiselle!! Please, try it on first!!!
Beatrix: Then I shall and prove that I am Your Majesty's lady! *tries to slip it on* Ick… it..it's too…tiny… *squashes foot into the shoe* THERE! It totally fits!
Blank: Splendid, Prince Zidane! We've found your bride!
Zidane: Miss, why are you crying? *sees Beatrix in tears (in the play, that is)*
Beatrix: N-nothing. I'm just…fluttered with joy!! *sniff* Yeeeoooooowwwwwwwwwchhhhhhhh!!! My foot my foot! It's aching! Take this treacherous thing off my beautiful foot!
Blank tried to take it off from her and eventually did after receiving some kicks from Beatrix.
Freya: Now! It's MY turn! Your Majesty, that slipper is definitely the slipper that I wore to the ball! Here, I shall prove it. *slips on but slipper only slipped through half way of her leg * What?! This isn't right! Come on, you dumb thing! You fit when I was in the Ball!
Zidane: *sigh* I guess, once again, my lady hasn't been found yet.
Freya: *grabs onto the shirt of Prince Zidane* Noooo!!! Don't leave! I am your lady!
Zidane: S-Stop this!
Then suddenly, they all heard a dishes falling to the floor. They heard the stepmother scolding and yelling. Ruby and Dagger enters the stage
Ruby: Ya little rascal! How many tams ah told ya to be be careful with da dishes!
Dagger: I-I'm so sorry, Stepmother! I'll clean it up..
Right away, Prince Zidane ran toward Ruby and Dagger, leaving Freya on the floor. Zidane was amazed and speechless when he saw Dagger. Dagger was frozen as well. They looked at each other.
Zidane: Grand Duke! Bring the slipper here at once! Dear lady, may I ask for your name?
Dagger: I…I'm Dagger.
Ruby: Oh Yor Majesty, ya dun't possibly think she is yor bride, do ye? She's just a servant gal.
Zidane: It doesn't matter. I order her to try on the slipper.
Ruby and the stepsisters watched with fear as Dagger took the glass slipper and slipped it on… and it fitted!!!
the stage lights shined brightly
Zidane: My bride has finally been found!
Step people: Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
curtains closed, and the audiences clapped; around 30 seconds later, the curtains opened again
Prince Zidane and Princess Dagger came out with the dress that she wore in the ball. They danced together and kissed…
Baku: So then, they lived happily ever after!
Then Zidane and Dagger bowed to the audience, and very soon, all the other casts came out too and bowed. As ending, Dagger sang to the audience:
A voice from the past, joining yours and mine.
Adding the layers of harmony.
And so it goes, on and on.
Melodies of life.
To the sky beyond the flying birds forever and beyond.
The audience clapped once more and cheered boisterously, and the curtains closed.
