The girls turned around and they saw an old beggar woman. "Can you young ladies help me? Just a little crust of bread, or a cup of milk." "Yes. Yes, yes," Ella said as she sniffled. "I think we can find something for you." As Alyssa Rose quickly ran to the kitchen for some bread, Ella got the milk. Alyssa Rose came back with a slice of bread with butter on it. "Thank you, my dear," the beggar woman said with a smile. Alyssa Rose smiled back at her as the beggar woman ate the bread. After eating the bread, the beggar woman asked Ella, "Why are you crying?" "Oh, it's nothing," Ella answered as she gave the beggar woman the bowl of milk. "Nothing?" The beggar woman repeated. "Nothing. What the bowl of milk? Nothing. But kindness makes it everything. Both girls watched the beggar woman gulp down the milk.
"Now, I don't mean to hurry you," the beggar woman said. "But you really haven't got long, Ella and Lissie." "How do you know us?" Alyssa Rose and Ella asked. "Who are you?" The beggar woman chuckled. "Who am I? I'm your Hairy Dogfather. Uh, I mean, Fairy Godmother!" "What?" Alyssa Rose said in disbelief. "You can't be," Ella whispered. "Why not?" The old woman asked. Ella covered Alyssa Rose's ears. "They don't exist. They're just made up." Alyssa Rose gently took Ella's hands off her ears. "Sissy, what is going on?" she asked as Ella quietly shushed her. "Didn't your mother believe in them?" The beggar woman asked as she stood up. "Don't say no because I heard her." "You heard her?" Alyssa Rose and Ella asked at the same time. "Oh, fiddle-faddle, fiddle-faddle," the beggar woman said to herself as she hobbled towards the middle of the garden. "First thing's first. Let me slip into something comfortable." The old woman throws her stick up in the air. Alyssa Rose and Ella looked up and saw the stick transform into a magic wand and sprinkles magic dust all over the old woman, who now had short blond curls, her face was no longer wrinkled, and she wore a poofy white gown. "Oh, that's better," she said in relief. "Now, where was I?" The girls looked at each other and then at her in shock. "How did you…?"
"Oh, yes. Let's see. We need something that sort of says "coach"," Fairy Godmother said as she and the girls looked around in the garden. "What about that trough?" Alyssa Rose asked. Fairy Godmother shook her head. "That doesn't really say "coach." No, no. I'm liking fruit and veg." They all headed for the greenhouse. "Do you grow watermelons?" Fairy Godmother asked. "No," Ella said. "Cantaloupe?" "I don't know what that is," Alyssa Rose said. "Artichoke? Kumquat? Beef tomato?" The girls shake their heads. "We do have pumpkins," Ella said. The girls led Fairy Godmother inside to the spot where their pumpkins are growing. "Ah, pumpkin. This will be a first." Fairy Godmother spotted the biggest pumpkin. "Ah, now this will do." Fairy Godmother asked Ella for the garden knife. "Uh…here you are," Ella said as she handed Fairy Godmother the knife. "Thank you, darling." Fairy Godmother cuts the root and tries to pick up the pumpkin, but it was too heavy. Alyssa Rose tried to help her carry the pumpkin and then they accidentally drop it on the ground. "Sorry," Alyssa Rose apologized. Fairy Godmother smiled and patted her on the head. "It's all right, my dear. We will do it right here."
"Do what here?" Ella asked as she, Alyssa Rose, and Fairy Godmother sat down on the greenhouse bench. "Turn the pumpkin into a carriage," Fairy Godmother answered. "Oh." "You two are making me nervous, actually," Fairy Godmother said with a small nervous chuckle. "Shall we shut our eyes?" Alyssa Rose asked. "It might be better." The girls covered their eyes as Fairy Godmother waved her wand at the pumpkin. The pumpkin starts to shake. The girls uncover their eyes and gasp as they see the pumpkin growing. The pumpkin grew so large, it squashed the girls and Fairy Godmother against the greenhouse windows. Fairy Godmother tells them to run out of the greenhouse and take cover. They hide behind the bushes as the pumpkin bursts through the greenhouse and then turns into a golden carriage. The girls and Fairy Godmother look up. "Ah, one carriage," said Fairy Godmother, happily. "You really are our Fairy Godmother," Ella and Alyssa Rose said at the same time in happy whispers.
Fairy Godmother smiled. "Of course. I don't go about transforming pumpkins for just anybody." She looked around some more. "Now, where are those mice?" "Mice?" Ella and Alyssa Rose start looking for them. "There they are," Fairy Godmother said. She rushes toward Gus-Gus, Jacqueline, Teddy, and Matilda and waving her wand, she says, "Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo!" The four mice suddenly transform into four gorgeous white horses. Ella and Alyssa Rose gasped. "Gus-Gus, how fine you look!" Ella gushed as she and Alyssa Rose pet them. "Now, where were we?" Fairy Godmother says to herself. "We got the carriage, horses, uh…." Then, Fairy Godmother brightened. "Footmen." She spots two lizards crawling on the wall and with a wave of her wand, she said again, "Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo!" The Lizard Footmen bowed their heads and said together, "You called?"
Fairy Godmother sighed. "Now, I need that coachman." "Coachman?" Ella and Alyssa Rose said confused. "Did I say coachman? I meant goose!" Fairy Godmother spots Mr. Goose waddling around and with another wave of her wand, she turns him into a coachman. "I can't drive! I'm a goose," he said. The girls giggled and cover their mouths with their hands in surprise. Fairy Godmother grinned and then to the horses, Lizard Footmen, and Goose Coachman, she said, "Now, shoo. Everyone to place, come on!" "Fairy Godmother?" Ella and Alyssa Rose asked. Fairy Godmother turned around. "Yes, what?" "Our dresses," Ella said. "We can't go in these dresses. Can you mend them?" "Mend them?" Fairy Godmother repeated. "I'll turn them into something new." "Oh, no, please don't," Ella said looking at her dress and then Alyssa Rose's. "These were our mother's, and…and we'd like to wear them when we go to the palace." "It's almost like taking her with us," Alyssa Rose added. Fairy Godmother nodded. "I understand. But she wouldn't mind if I cheer them up a bit? Wouldn't mind a nice blue and pink?" The girls looked at each other, smiled, and then back to Fairy Godmother. "No."
Fairy Godmother waves her wand at the girls' dresses and turns them into beautiful blue and pink dresses. "There." The girls opened their eyes and gasped in surprise as they looked at each other. "You look beautiful!" Ella and Alyssa Rose said to each other as they twirled each other around. To Fairy Godmother, they said, "They're beautiful!" Fairy Godmother smiled and then said, "Now, come on! Off you go! Quick, you'll be late!" The girls rushed to the carriage. One of the Lizard Footmen opens the carriage door. Just as the girls were about to step inside, Fairy Godmother stops them. "Just a moment, girls!" She notices their shoes. "Mm. Are these the best you two have?" The girls looked down at their shoes. "It's alright," Ella said. "No one will see them." Fairy Godmother orders them to take off their shoes. She takes a look at them and then with one more wave with her wand, she adds glass slippers on Ella's feet and white sparkling slippers on Alyssa Rose's feet. The girls quietly gasped in surprise again. Fairy Godmother tells them that it's time to go to the palace, but Ella worried that they will be seen by Lady Tremaine and Anastasia and Drizella. Fairy Godmother understood and places a spell on the girls so they won't be recognized. Then, the girls stepped inside the carriage.
As the carriage is about to leave, Fairy Godmother realizes that she has one more thing to tell the girls. "I almost forgot!" Fairy Godmother rushes to the carriage. Girls, 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." "Midnight?" the girls asked her together. "Mm-hmm," Fairy Godmother answered. "Midnight." The girls smiled. "That's more than enough time." Fairy Godmother smiled back. "Off you two go, then." "Thank you," said the girls together and Alyssa Rose gave Fairy Godmother a hug. "Goosey, go!" The girls and Fairy Godmother waved goodbye as the carriage rides away for the palace.
