Here is chapter 11 guys. I didn't update since I couldn't use my computer so I have three more chapters to update after this. It would have been seven but I got distracted by Kingdom Hearts 2.5 trying to beat the 1,000 Heartless on Critical so yeah. Enjoy the chapter and read the other 3 after this one!
Aqua went inside the ballroom just as a older woman and two younger girls were leaving. Aqua looked at the girls as they left. Aqua wasn't sure but there was something, negative about the three girls. The Duke ran by.
"Excuse me," Aqua said to him. "Who were those ladies?" "If I recall correctly, that is Lady Tremaine and those are her daughters." the Duke said. "There was something very wrong about them." Aqua thought. The prince walked up to her. "You came back!"
Aqua looked at him. "Huh?" she said. The prince realized Aqua wasn't Cinderella and quickly apologized. "I found this on the palace stairs." the Duke said. "A glass slipper?" the prince said. "One dropped by a lovely young lady," the Duke said. "And I'll search far and wide to find the maiden to whom this belongs." "You will?" the prince said. "Of course, after you have finally found someone who wish to marry." the Duke said. "Upon hearing that happy news, your father, the king, has decreed that a quest shall begin immediately throughout the kingdom and I will start with the closest residence-that of Lady Tremaine." The Duke and the prince walked off. "Lady Tremaine." Aqua thought. "I'd better pay her a visit." She eventually found the house.
"May I present my daughters." Lady Tremaine said from inside. "Drizella and Anastasia." "As I thought." Aqua said. "There is darkness here." She summoned her Keyblade ready to enter the house.
"Wait!" a voice said. "It's dangerous to fight darkness with light my dear." A woman appeared in front of Aqua. "Who are you?" Aqua said.
"I'm Cinderella's Fairy godmother."
"Why would you advise me not to fight the darkness with light?" Aqua said. "Strong rays of light create darkness." the Fairy godmother said. "Sadly, Lady Tremaine and both her daughters are jealous of Cindrrella's charm and beauty. Qualities that appear to you as "light." Jealousy is darkness. Light and dark go hand in hand. You can't have one without the other."
"Then what should I do?" Aqua said. "It's quite simple, dear." the Fairy godmother said. "One of Cinderella's friends is trying very hard to help her. I want you to join little Jaq and help him." "I can do that." Aqua said. "You'll need a bit of magic to help him." the Fairy godmother said pulling out her magic wand. "Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo!" A beam of magic shot from the wand at Aqua.
Aqua then found herself inside Lady Tramaine's house. As she looked around she noticed everything around her was taller. "I must have shrunk." Aqua thought. She saw a mouse struggling to carry a key.
"Are you okay?" Aqua asked it. "Cinderella's stepmother locked her in her room." the mouse said. "I've gotta let her out! I've gotta save Cinderella!" Aqua summoned her Keyblade. "Let me help you." "Thank you!" the mouse said looking at her. He noticed Aqua's Keyblade. "That's like Ven's! You ever meet him?" "I'm Aqua, but how do you know Ven?" Aqua said. "We're friends." Jaq said. "Good friends! Ven helped me fix Cinderella's dress." "Where he is now?" Aqua said. "He's looking for a friend." Jaq said. "Another friend."
"Ven, you must have just missed Terra." Aqua thought. They heard someone talking from downstairs which Aqua could only assume it was one of Lady Tramaine's daughters. "I can't understand why." the daughter said. "It always fit perfectly before." "Quite enough of this." Aqua heard the Duke say. "The next young lady. Please…"
"Oh no. Hear that?" Jaq said. "We've gotta hurry! Cinderella's gotta try that slipper!" He quickly ran to the mouse hole but Unversed blocked his way. "Ah! No, no, no! We've gotta hurry!" Aqua stepped in front of Jaq with her Keyblade. "It's all right." she said. "Leave this to me. Jaq, don't lose that key!" Aqua fought the Unversed while protecting Jaq. When she defeated them all Jaq ran off towards the mouse hole with the key. He turned back to look Aqua. "Thanks, Aqua!"
Aqua walked out of the room and stood near the staircase watching the Duke, Lady Tramaine, and her two daughters. The Duke looked at Lady Tramaine. "You're the only ladies here?" he asked her. "There's no one else." Lady Tramaine said.
"Come on…hurry Jaq!" Aqua thought. She saw the Duke begin to leave. Aqua began to run after him. At that moment the spell the Fairy godmother put on Aqua wore off and she returned to her normal size…and fell from the staircase and onto the floor. Aqua looked up and saw everyone starring at her. "Oh…" she said. "Now what?" she thought trying to come up with idea. "Would it…would it be all right if I tried on the glass slipper?"
"Hmm…" the Duke said. "I met you at the palace. Unfortunately, you are not the young lady the prince is looking for." "But I am a girl." Aqua said. "I should at least be given a chance to try it on."
"Who are you?" Lady Tramaine asked Aqua. "And what are you doing in my house?" "She's probably here to rob us!" one of the daughters said. "Mother! Do something!" the other daughter said. Lady Tramaine looked at the Duke. "That girl does not live here. I have only two daughters." "Regardless, she means no harm." the Duke said. He held out the glass slipper for Aqua. "Here you are, my dear." Aqua looked nervously at the glass slipper then back at Cinderella's room. "Hurry, Jaq!" she thought.
"Wait!" Everyone looked up to see Cinderella standing at the top of the steps. "May I try it on?" Lady Tramaine quickly stepped in. "Pay no attention to her." she said. "She's just a imaginative child." "Madam, my orders were every maiden." the Duke said.
"You should let her go first." Aqua said helping Cinderella down the steps. "Thank you." Cinderella said. "Actually," Aqua said as Cinderella sat down in a chair. "I want to thank you, for teaching Terra he needs to keep believing." As the Duke began to walk the glass slipper over to Cinderella, Lady Tramaine slightly stepped her foot in front of him making him trip and break the glass slipper. "What will I do now?" the Duke said. "It's okay." Cinderella said. "You see, I have the other slipper." She pulled out the other glass slipper. Aqua smiled. The Duke put the glass slipper on Cinderella's foot. "A prefect fit." he said. "I must inform the prince immediately!" He looked at Cinderella. "You will come with me, of course." "I'd be happy to." Cinderella said.
As they left the house along with Aqua Lady Tramaine and her daughters watched them. "It's not fair!" One of the daughters said. "She's a scullery maid!" "Mother! Are you just going to let them leave?" the other daughter said. "No…" Lady Tramaine said. "Cinderella will be put in her place."
Aqua watched as the the Duke left with Cinderella. A few minutes later she heard people screaming in the forest. The Duke ran towards her. "What happened?" Aqua asked him. "Where is Cinderella?" "She was attacked by a creature." the Duke said. "A monster in the forest!" "A monster?" Aqua said.
She ran into the forest and saw Cinderella laying on the ground while a Unversed that looked like a carriage tried to attack her with bombs coming from it. Lady Tramaine and her two daughters stood by laughing evilly. A bomb was about to land on Cinderella but Aqua jumped in front of her and cast Reflect on Cinderella and herself protecting them from the bomb. "This is what happens when you go against my wishes!" Lady Tramaine said. She was too busy talking to Cinderella that she didn't notice the bomb that landed near her and her two daughters. Cinderella and Aqua watched as the bomb exploded dearie ting Lady Tramaine and get daughters. "They couldn't handle the darkness in their hearts." Aqua said.
She looked at Cinderella. "Go." she said. Cinderella nodded and ran off. Aqua summoned her Keyblade and defeated the Unversed. Aqua, Cinderella, and the Duke walked to the palace where the prince was walking around outside pacing hoping to hear about the girl he had might at the ball. He turned and saw Cinderella at the bottom of the steps smiling warmly at him. The prince quickly ran down the steps the same time Cinderella began running up them and they met halfway and pulled each other into a embrace. Neither of them said a word but continued to hug each other. Aqua sat on a fountain and watched them. The Fairy godmother showed up. "A pure heart filled with light." Aqua said. "It's strange, Master Eraqus taught me darkness needs to be destroyed. But how, if not with light?" "My dear you're too young to know." the Fairy godmother said. "Experience more things and you will find the answer. Just trust in your dreams." Aqua smiled and nodded.
