10. THE BALL

At the Balor's Palace (9:35 pm)

All the eligible women from the village have arrived at the Prince's BALL to STEAL the young man's heart for a chance to be the next bride.

The music from the Orchrestra surrounded throughout the BALL ROOM.

Plenty of food to eat from the incredible Chief Collins from England.

Finn Balor, the Prince is dancing with random women from the village. He has NEVER been bored in all his life. He's determined to find Cinderella and to find out what happened to her.

The EVIL step mother and her daughters are in the LINE waiting to dance with the Prince.

"Oh my God I can't believe were even here. Especially in the Prince presence" Alexa said feeling excited

"I know right? He is so gorgeous. *sigh* I can imagine myself in his bed. Screwing every night" Sasha said twirling a piece of her hair with her finger; licking her lips.

Alexa *rolled* her eyes, "Why would the Prince be interested in you? He wants a woman with intelligence"

"Are you calling me STUPID?" Sasha asked with attitude

"If the SHOE fits" Alexa said with confidence; smiling

"Girls, girls. There's no need to argue. Whoever the Prince decides between the both of you, you should be HAPPY because he will be apart of our family"

"Your right mother. He'll be happy with me" Sasha said; smiling

"No sister, with me" Alexa said snaring

Sasha rolled her eyes, "Whatever"

King Balor and his Queen with the King of Kings Triple H and his Queen Stephaine looks on. Drinking their wine.

"Very coordinated BALL you have tonight Thomas" Triple H replied

"Thank you. My wife and I loves to have things in order" Thomas said

"As I and my Queen. Right my lady?"

"Yes my King" Stephaine replied

Sophia looks at the Prince, "Our son doesn't seem happy my KING"

"I've noticed that too but don't worry Sophie, he'll find someone before this ball ends tonight" Thomas stated

Finn saw the EVIL step mother in line. What is she doing here? Where is Cinderella? I have to FIND out. he said to himself.

He walked over towards her...

"Oh my God hes coming over here" Sasha said smiling

"Stay CALM girls" Victoria ordered; smiles, "Your highness, its so good to see you again"

"What are you doing here?" he asked her (serious look)

"I've been invited to the BALL. Why else would I be here?"

"Where's Cinderella?"

Victoria smile turned to a frown, "She's at home where she belongs. She's SICK (lieing)"

"I don't believe you"

"You don't have to sweetheart, but its the truth. Just forget about her and get to know my daughters"

"Who is that woman Finn is talking to?" Sophia asked curiously

"I...don't know" King Balor said

The Prince looks at the both of them...Oh boy...this is going to be a LONG night. I don't have a choice.

Richard walks over, "Your highness, the next lady to dance"

Alexa quickly placed her arm on top of Finn's; smiles, "That would be me"

Sasha snared; say something under her BREATH

Finn slightly smile, "Shall we?"

"Oh yes we shall my Prince"

He *escorted* her to the ballroom floor as they dance. Alexa turned her head and STICKS out her tongue at her sister.

Sasha *shakes* her head; folding her arms, "I guarantee that he won't be interested in her"

"Have FAITH my dear daughter. Alexa knows what she's doing" Victoria said

On the ballroom floor...

Finn is not even looking at her as to Alexa stares at him.

"What's the matter my King?" Alexa asked

"Nothing"

"Oh, there's got to be something. You can tell me anything you want. Anything your heart's DESIRES. I'm all EARS your highness"

"You want to know don't you?"

"YES"

"(sigh) Its your sister. Cinderella. How is she really?"

"You know your highness this isn't a enjoyable conversation. Why are we even talking about her? And she's my step-sister"

"Because I'm falling in love with her that's why. Cinderella is more REAL of a woman than the likes of you, your sister, and your EVIL snake mother"

Alexa couldn't believe the WORDS coming out of the Prince's mouth, "You can't be serious"

"I'am serious. And I'm sorry if hurt your little...FEELINGS"

Richard walks over; he escorted Alexa away; stunned, "Miss, come with me"

Sasha walks over as they began to dance. She smile, "I'm so glad we got this time alone your highness"

He slightly smile at her, "Yeah"

"Look, whatever my sister said to you don't believe her. She can be very complicated"

"Is that so?"

"Yes. Trust me, she has the BRAINS but her personality is the opposite. Unlike Cinderella...well...she has (giggling) absolutely NOTHING"

"I highly disagree with you. She's everything. Everything I want in a woman" he said it proudly

Sasha laughed; but not too loudly, "Hahaha...your funny your highness. That's funny. You had me going there"

"Its not FUNNY"

She stop laughing; feeling a bit embarrassed.

"Like I told your sister, Cinderella is a REAL woman. YOU...on the other hand who doesn't know the meaning of TRUE love but only know the meaning of LUST and pleasure. That's not the woman I'm looking for"

"I'm sorry your highness but you have me mistaken with my step-sister. You see, she's not the woman you think she is. Cinderella has many, many FLAWS that you don't even know about"

The Prince looks *curious*, "What are you talking about?"

"She open her legs for every guy she sees. She's just like her REAL mother, a WHORE"

Finn didn't believe her. He knows that this woman is SPEAKING for herself.

"Is that what your mother is saying to you?"

"YES"

"And you believe her?"

"Yes I do. She tells the truth"

"NO, she doesn't. She's speaking for herself And you sweetheart..." he pulls her a little closer towards him; speaks softly in her ear, "Your gonna END up just like her. Alone, afraid, lost, bitter, and no one to LOVE"

She says back softly in his ear, "That's where your wrong your HIGHNESS. I'll always have somebody to love"

They looked into each other's eyes; she gently touched the right side of his cheek, "And if its not you, it will be someone BETTER than you" she winks at him walking away.

The Prince walks away and upstairs outside on the balcony.

King Balor stands up, "Would you excuse me" he follows his son upstairs.

"Son?"

Finn turned around, "Father. We should end the BALL right now. I'm not interested in none of the women here"

The King walks over towards his son, "Finn, the night isn't OVER yet. Don't give up so quickly"

"I"m not trying to give up father, I just..."

"What is it? You can tell me"

"Nothing. I just want this night over with"

Thomas smile; put his arm around the Prince, "Its going to be okay son. I have a feeling you'll see your FUTURE bride tonight"

"Maybe, Maybe not"

"You will" he pats his son on the back. The Prince smiles.

They walked back to the BALL
