Clock: Lauren & Emmett

--

Every day is like Cinderella's ball gone horribly wrong.

She gets herself ready and done up and perfect. She spends the better part of an hour making sure that not a hair is out of place on her head, and that it falls so wonderfully around her exquisitely-done face. She always picks out her outfit the night before so that she doesn't have to waste time on it in the morning, and when she leaves her house she really does feel like the belle of the ball.

As she makes her way to the ball, all that she can wonder is what everybody else will look like. Of course, none of them will look as fantastic as she does, because nobody is perfect as she is. Except, perhaps, for her Prince Charming.

And as she waits for him to notice her, she is approached by every other dog in his court, but she kindly refuses them all because she has eyes only for one. She waits for him to arrive each day, and she waits for his crowds of adoring fans to finally give up so that she can see him and he can see her. She knows that she doesn't have all the time in the world, and she doesn't want the clock to run out before he sees her, but he's worth the wait.

She looks down bashfully, as Cinderella is expected to do, and waits for him to approach her and take her into his arms. He's a beautiful, big bear of a man and she knows that he notices her too. She knows and she just wants to be there for him and she wants to kiss him, to kiss him, to kiss him, until he doesn't remember anything except for the way that she feels when she moves against him.

But the story becomes twisted. Time stands still and his eyes look right by her like they usually do, and they fall on the Ugly Stepsister who got a makeover. And the Ugly Stepsister smiles at Prince Charming and takes his hand and captivates him like no one except for Cinderella should.

And then Cinderella wonders what else is different. Maybe she's the one who's not-so-pretty while the Ugly Stepsister is the true belle of the ball. Maybe she's the one who's not-so-great while the Ugly Stepsister is the true princess.

And she watches while the Ugly Stepsister rips apart everything that she's always set up so well, that she plans for. And this happens every single day, without fail, without change. No matter how hard she tries, Cinderella is always outshined by her Not-So-Ugly Stepsister.

The clock strikes midnight and her world crumbles.

AN: Just a quick something I threw together. (: Honestly, I had no idea where any of this was going until I remembered the theme of clock. And then I decided, "Hey, why not go Disney on everyone's ass?"

So this is the long-awaited Lauren/Emmett with the theme of clock for Krum Cake. I sincerely hope that it satisfies her, although I really have no idea if it will. =X

Next up is going to be: Jacob/Alice (heat) for dyingimmortal, Jacob/Leah (freedom) for twilight22lover, and Edward/Rosalie (forbidden) for Dance Alice Dance.

I have to say that I'm excited to write these. And I sincerely hope for more requests to come soon! =3

I own my super ridiculously thick history textbook, but I don't own Twilight.
