"Oh, no. No, it isn't true." Haruhi said. "It's just no use. No use at all. I can't believe, not anymore. Theres nothing left to believe in. Nothing."

"Nothing...?" Nekozawa appeared out of the darkness. "Oh, now you don't really mean that."

"Oh, but I do!"

"Nonsense!" Nekozawa said. "If you'd Iost all your faith, I couldn't be here, and here I am! Oh, come now. Dry those tears. You can't go to the ball looking like that."

"The ball? Oh, but I'm not-" Haruhi said.

"Of course you are." Nekozawa said. "But we'll have to hurry, because even miracles take a little time."

"Miracles?" Haruhi said.

"Uh-hmm. Watch." Nekozawa said. "What in the world did I do with that magic wand?"

"I was sure I-" Haruhi said.

"Magic wand?" Nekozawa said. "That's strange... I... I always-"

"Why then, you must be-" Haruhi said.

"Your Fairy Godfather? Of course." Nekozawa said. "Where is that wand? I-Oh! I forgot. I put it away."

"Look-a what she did!" Honey sadi.

"How'd she do it" Honey said.

"Now... let's see. Hmm... I'd say the first thing you need is, um... a pumpkin." Nekozawa said.

"But... a pumpkin?" Haruhi said.

"Uh-huh. Now, um...Now... the magic ... Oh...Ahem! Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo!" Nekozawa said.

The pumpkin turned into a beautiful coach.

"It's amazing," Christiella said.

"Yes, isn't it?" Nekozowa said. "Now, with an elegant coach like that, of course, we'll simply have to have... uh...mice!"

"Uh... uh... mice?" Haruhi said.

"Oh, this really is nice." Nekozawa said. "Why, we'll have a coach-and-fou when we're through. Just a wave of my stick, and to finish the trick, Bibbidi.. bobbidi...boo! Gracious, what did I do?I was sure there were four there. There should be one more. Oh, ha-ha. There you are. Bibbidi...bobbidi...boo! You can't go to the ball without... um...a horse!"

"A-a-another one?" Haruhi said.

"But tonight, for a change, you'll handle the reins...and sit in the driver's seat too. For instead of a horse, why the coachman, of course. Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo! Well, that does it, I guess. Except for- oh, yes, the finishing touch...and that's you. Yes, Bruno, that's right! You'll be footman tonight. Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo Well, well, hop in, my dear. We can't waste time." Nekozawa said.

"But... uh-" Haruhi said.

"Now, now, now..." Nekozawa said. "don't try to thank me."

"Oh, I wasn't- I mean... I do, but..." Haruhi said. "- but don't you think my dress-"

"Yes, it's lovely, dear." Nekozawa said. "Lov- Good heavens, child! You can't go in that. Now, uh.. lets see, dear. Your size... and the shade of your eyes... Uh-hmm. Something simple, but daring too. Oh, just Ieave it to me! What a gown this will be. Bibbidi-bobbidi bibbidi-bobbidi...Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo

"Oh, it's a beautiful dress!" Haruhi said.

The dress was a sparkling silvery-blue ball gown with a low-cut neckline, lighter peplum, capped sleeves, opera gloves, a delicate laced white petticoat and glass slippers topped with sparkly hearts. Her hair was pulled up into a variation of a French twist that is complimented with a light silver band over it and also wears diamond earrings. She also wore a simple black choker around her neck.

"Did you ever see such a beautiful dress?" Haruhi said. "And Iook, glass slippers. Why, it's Iike a dream, a wonderful dream come true."

"Yes, my child, but like all dreams, well, I'm afraid this can't last forever." Nekozawa said. "You'll have only 'tiI midnight and then-"

"Midnight? Oh, thank you." Haruhi said.

"Oh, now, now just a minute." Nekozawa said. "You must understand. On the stroke of twelve, the spell will be broken, and everything will be as it was before."

"Oh, I understand, but..." Haruhi said. "it's more than I ever hoped for."

"Bless you." Nekozawa said.

"I- Goodness me! It's getting Iate!" Haruhi said.

"Hurry up, dear. The ball can't wait." Nekozawa said. 'Have a good time, dance! Now, off you go. You're on your way. With a bibbidi-bobbidi, bibbidi-bobbidi...Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo."
