A/N: I saw that there was someone whose drabble is called "Mirror Mirror on the Wall" posted on Goldenlake. I swear this was written independently of that one and that my drabble here and that one are two wholly different drabbles. ^^ So yeah. Just so people don't get confused. :)

Sandry looked at herself in the mirror. She was beautiful. She was desirable. She was a very eligible bride due to her vast property.
And she was lonely.
Sandry refused to admit the last, but she had no choice. It bubbled to the surface so clearly.
She missed her family. The foster-siblings who, right now, were hundreds of miles away.
Sighing, Sandry sat down heavily, rumpling her pretty sea green dress.
Unknown to her, Tris and Daja were sighing, too. Daja over her incorrigible students, Tris over Chime.
Sandry stared at her reflection with hatred.
It took awhile for Sandry to realize what was bothering her. And even then, she did not want to voice it.
"Mirror, mirror, on the wall," Sandry mimicked, having heard the story before.
Disgusted with herself, she climbed into bed and threw the covers over her eyes.
She dreamed again of her wedding day.
But this time, she saw herself as a dark Thing of Evil. And he was a nameless, stuffy prince.
Yuck! Sandry thought, jumping up out of bed.
She looked in the mirror, glad to see just plain Sandry again.
I think I may be content now, she grinned at herself.
