You shall go to the ball

(Previously)

"Fiddle-faddle. Right! First things first. Let me slip into something more comfortable," she told me before running out into the backyard and twirling her stick in the night air into the sky like a baton in the circus before coming down in a cloud of sparkles and transforming herself completely from a beggar woman to a woman dressed in a white dress with a voluminzed skirt and magical stars on the bodice. Her hair looked brown and curly like mine only with glitter and crystals on it. She turned her neck until she heard a crack. "Oh that's better," she said and I couldn't stop gaping in shock.

Juliana's P.O.V:

I can't believe this woman maybe my fairy godmother. Is it really true what my mom had said? Anyway, I joined the woman on the lawn near the greenhouse. "Now where was I," she asked curiously. "But how did you," I asked still dumbfounded. "Yes. Let's see. What we need is something that sort of says coach," she told me thinking in her mind. "How about that troth," I asked pointing to it. "Doesn't really say coach. No, no I'm looking for something more like a fruit or veg," she answered. Okay, what could be something like a fruit or veg that says coach? "Do you grow watermelons," she asked. "No," I answered. "Cantaloupe," "I don't even know what that is," I answered. "Artichoke, Kumquat, Beef tomato," she asked and every time I shook my head no. Wait, I got an idea. "We do have pumpkins," I told her. "Pumpkins," she asked. This might work.

Fairy Godmother's P.O.V.:

"Pumpkins," I asked. This could work. "This will be a first for me. Always interesting. I don't usually work with squashes. Too mushy," I explained to Juliana as we made it to the green house. I got inside with her and I have to admit that this looks so pretty. Yes, this could work. Now, where is that pumpkin? "Let me see," I told myself looking around the greenhouse for a nice pumpkin that could do well for a carriage. Fortunately, I found it. "That'll do," I said looking around the pumpkin. "Yes. Knife," I asked. Juliana soon handed the knife over to me. "There you are," she told me. "Ah. Thank you darling," I told her with a smile. "Hello my strangely orange friend vegetable friend. A quick snip of you. Lovely," I told myself. I soon started to lift the pumpkin and let's just say it's heavy.

Juliana's P.O.V.:

While the woman was busy cutting the pumpkin from the stem, I held onto her wand which sort of spilled some glitter or magic if you will and you can imagine my reaction that I was shocked. "Woah heavey pumpkin," the woman was saying with the pumpkin. I quickly got out of my trance and ran over to help her and the mice were sort of in the way. "Watch out mices," she called to my friends as we set the pumpkin in the middle of the green house while I was near the bench or sitting on it. "Well. Never mind, let's do it here," the woman told me after thinking it would be difficult to get the pumpkin out of the green house. "Do what here," I asked. "Turn the pumpkin into carriage," she told me. Okay, I think this the test to see if she is my fairy godmother but I have a feeling she is. "Uh, you're making me nervous actually," she told me. "Shall I shut my eyes," I asked. "It might be better," she answered. I soon covered my eyes to let the darkness come in though I didn't see Mr. Goose peeking through.

Fairy Godmother's P.O.V.:

"Oh for heaven's sake let's just got for it," I sighed. Then I did a magic spell that placed on the pumpkin. I looked at it for a few seconds to see if it would do anything and it didn't work, I think. "Hm. Well something's definitely happening," I told Juliana who opened her eyes actually as I went around the pumpkin watching it sort of grow. "You see, the trick is…Actually I've forgotten what the trick is," I explained seating next to her on the bench. All of a sudden, it was staring to get a little more bigger and the two of us were starting to lean back and now was a good time to panic. "I just thought of it," I started to say but Juliana asked, "If it does get much bigger," "Yes," I answered in panic as the two of us got out of the seat and started to scoot over towards the green house entrance with the mice following behind.

Juliana's P.O.V.:

The pumpkin was getting so big that I felt crammed in there even if I was a pumpkin. My face was being pressed around the glass but it was complicated. "Is that what you meant to do," I yelled to my fairy god mother over the pumpkin. "Do you think that's what I meant to do," she answered. "Run! Run darling," she told me and we made it to the entrance just in time with the animals as well. Me and the woman ran across the field to a hay cart for protection while her wand spilled some magic.

Fairy godmother's P.O.V.:

"TAKE COVER," I screamed as we hid underneath the cart. This better be good.

Third Person's P.O.V.:

The glowing pumpkin exploded with the green house as it transformed into a beautiful gold color on the designs with the magic swirled around it forming the carriage with the designs and decorations all around the carriage and golden wheels were big and bright like the sun. The carriage was so awesome in design with the doors covered in the designs of the greenhouse as the magic disappeared.

Juliana's P.O.V.:

I poked my head out after what happened and saw the carriage completed by magic and it looks so pretty. "There, one carriage," she told me. "You really are my fairy god mother," I told her realizing the truth. "Of course. I don't go around transforming pumpkins for just anybody," she told me with a smile. "Now, where are those mice," she asked with wonder. "Mice," I asked. I soon realized she was talking about my mice friends and I followed her.

Fairy godmother's P.O.V.:

"Mice, mice, mice. Ah there they are," I said looking the around then saw them. "Bibiddi boddiddi boo," I told them and soon magic swirled and they soon grew large ears and I heard Juliana gasp.

Juliana's P.O.V.:

I gasped with joy and watched as my mice friends ran they soon transformed into horses like my dad use to tell me about when I was young. What were they called again I know it started with a c. "Four white chargers," my fairy godmother said after they transformed. I couldn't help but smile. "Gus-Gus, how fine you look," I told him as I ran up to pet him. He looks so handsome with his white fur of the horse. "But how did you," I asked my fairy godmother while still petting him.

Fairy Godmother's P.O.V.:

Juliana seems happy with the horses and I think this is going smoothly as planned. "Now, where are we? We got the carriage, horses uh footmen," I told her checking off the checklist in my mind. "Footmen," she asked. "Hm," I mumbled looking for a good animal to be the footmen. I got it. Lizards, they would do great. I found them resting over by the fountain. "Hello, lovely Mr. Lizard. Bibbidi-boddidi-boo," I said to the lizard and with the wave of my wand they began to transform from lizards into actual footmen. "Hello," one of them said as they were transforming from lizards to people. They soon came from around the fountain to have green tailcoats and yellow/green hair. "You called," one asked as they put on their hat. Juliana smiled at this and I can't really blame her. "Now, I need that coachman," I told them.

Juliana's P.O.V.:

"Coachman," I asked. "Did I say coachman? I meant goose," she answered before finding Mr. Goose and spread some her magic on him as he transformed into a person with no feathers on his body and orange boots just a white tail coat, hair, and hat. He soon sat on a bale of hay. "I can't drive. I'm a goose," he said out loud and I just gasped and smiled.

Fairy Godmother's P.O.V.:

"Now, shoo! Everyone into place, no time to be lost! Come on," I told them as we ran through the garden of Juliana's house to the driveway and mice were already horses. We are almost ready of getting Juliana to that ball. "Fairy Godmother," I heard Juliana call to me.

Juliana's P.O.V.:

I just remembered about the dress I was wearing and it was ripped into rags thanks to my stepmother. Maybe my fairy godmother can fix it. "Fairy Godmother," I called to her. "Yes what," she asked. "My dress," I said showing her. "I can't go in this dress. Can you mend it," I asked. "Mend it? No, no I'll turn it into something new," she said to me waving the wand. "Oh no please don't," I told her. "This was my mother's and I like to wear it when I go to the palace. It's almost like taking her with me," I explained. "I understand. But she wouldn't mind if I geared it up a bit? Wouldn't mind a nice blue," she asked. "No," I answered and soon she waved her magic wand and butterflies approached me. I felt the magic swirl around me as I laughed and soon began to twirl within the magic. I can't believe I'm like on air right now. This is so pretty. The magic soon swirled around me again as I came back into reality and little butterflies flew towards me and landed on my dress. I looked down to see my mother's dress had changed into a beautiful blue dress with tiny crystals on the skirt of the gown that glittered in the moon light. The collar of the dress was decorated with butterflies like the ones that swirled around me earlier and I felt my hair was let down in curls and a braided headband on the top. I have to admit I look beautiful. "There," my fairy godmother said to me. "It's beautiful. She'd love it," I told her. "Now come on, off you go! Quick you'll be late," she told me as I admired the dress as we walked to the front of my house.

Fairy godmother's P.O.V.:

I have to figure out where in the dang world is that coach I created. I soon heard the goose coming with the coach and he was saying, "I'm very new at this. Oh boy," "Stop that blooming coach," I called out to them as they waited for me and Juliana as we came to the coach. The lizard and I opened the doors to let her in. "Thank you," she said to us before getting a few steps into the coach when I yelled, "Just a moment. Are those the best you have," I asked her regarding the flats. "It's alright. No one will see them," she assured me. "No. They'll ruin the whole look. Quick, quick. Take them off. Quite hideous let's have something new for a change. I'm rather good with shoes," I said and soon let the magic swirl from my wand to Juliana's feet.

Juliana's P.O.V.:

Mr. Lizard and I looked down at my feet to see two butterflies flying around my feet and covering them with magic to afterwards reveal crystal like glass slippers on my feet with those butterflies that were around earlier. I'm speechless. "But… They're made of glass," I asked still shocked. "Yes, and you'll find there really comfortable," my fairy godmother told me. Well, that's a first. "Juliana, you must go now," she told me. I was ready to get in the carriage but I just remembered something. My stepmother and the girls. Would they notice me even in my new dress? "Fairy godmother," I told her. "What is it," she asked. "My stepmother and the girls," I answered. "Don't worry, I'll make sure they don't recognize you," she assured me before sprinkling some magic on my braided hairband and chest so that I look like a princess not Cinderella or Juliana, servant to the Tremaine's. This should do the trick. "Now off you go, for you shall go to the ball," my fairy godmother said to me and with the help of the lizard footman I stepped into the carriage. "In you get, how lovely," the lizard said to me about my dress. "Do stop wittering on," fairy godmother muttered as I sat down in the carriage with the dress inside. I have to admit the carriage looks amazing.

Fairy Godmother's P.O.V.:

I have to admit my work is almost complete and I think she is ready. "Phew," I said walking back to the carriage and cracked my neck. Wait the deadline. "Juliana! I almost forgot. Remember the magic will only last so long. With the last echo of the last bell, at the last stroke of midnight, the spell will be broken and all will return to what it was before," I told her. "Midnight," she asked me from the window. "Midnight," I answered. "That's more than enough time," she said to me. Perfect. "Off you go then," I smiled. "Thank you," she smiled back at me. "Thank you," I responded moving to the side of the carriage to let them be on their way. "Goosey, go," I commanded and waved some magic for him to start driving the coach. "Goodbye," she called to me as I waved back with a sad smile on my face. Her mother and father would be so proud. I watched them ride a few short miles away with the fireworks of the palace boom and disappeared in a cloud of magic.

Juliana's P.O.V.:

I can't believe I'm going to the ball for this one night! I'm so excited to see Kit there. Once I see him, I have to tell him my identity but it would be fun to go to a dance and I have to remember midnight I have be on my way otherwise the magic would end. Ball, here I come!

(At the Palace)

Third Person's P.O.V.:

Many of the guests were staring to arrive at the palace and one of them being the Tremaines gasped at the sight of the royal palace already ablaze with the fireworks in different colors as they got out of the carriages and started to walk up those steps to the entrance doors. Meanwhile in the ball room, the servants to the king were getting ready by lighting the chandeliers one by one. "Chandeliers aloft," the head servant cried to his men and they did so. All the while, the ball was going to be exciting for the Crown Prince and kingdom; but little did they know it would become more eventful with the arrival of a mystery princess who catches Kit's attention.

There you have it guys here is the next chapter. Again, I apologize for the delay. I am working on my stories to the best of my ability so please bear with me and I will have the next chapter ready as soon as I am done writing it.
