"No, you don't understand this, sweeties...I...I am still Cinderella afterall...A one night's dream is enough for a wishful girl...It's already past midnight - a time to go back to the day," Cinderella tried to explain to her little friends as they stared wistfully at her and the sparkling glass slipper held in her hands.
Jaq wanted to encourage her to dream again, "No, no, no, no...Cinderellie! Your glass slipper is still here...There is not the end of your dream yet!"
Suzy also butted in, "Yeah, that's right! Why would Fairy Godmother want you to keep this slipper then?!"
The rest of them also urged and cheered her on. Cinderella looked down at the only remnant of last night's magic, beginning to feel indecisive and sighed.
Suzy then leapt and climbed up onto her palm, "How does he look like, Cinderellie? Is he as beautiful as you are?"
Jaq shook his head, "It's not beautiful! Should be 'handsome', 'tall', 'dashing', 'charming', 'attractive'...those are the words for men like us!"
Seeing them bicker, Cinderella smiled again and giggled, "Still, I'm not certain how he feels...I guess it's just a daze of the moment..."
Suzy felt bad for her, "Oh, Cinderellie...I'm sure there is a way to be sure..."
Listening to them throughout this time, Gus then leapt over and exclaimed excitedly, "Hey, why don't we go find out? This...this...Prince of the Ball! Why not we go back?!"
Everyone's eyes widened at his astounding idea...and hope began bubbling up over how amazing Gus' thoughtfulness was...
