Tinderella- A modernised fractured fairy tale

by GigiLuandoCurry

A modernised Cinderella about a girl bullied by her stepsisters and stepmother. But when a fairy godmother appears and presents to her a phone, she discovers a dating app called Tinder that changes her life. For all ages, but might be hard to understand for little kids, so for teens and older kids who will get the humour :D (At least I hope...)

TINDERELLA- A FRACTURED FAIRY TALE.

By GigiLuandoCurry.

AN: Hello everyone. This is a modernised Cinderella, in school we had to write a fractured fairy tale so I did this. ^x^

Scene One: Green mushrooms and chicken

Stepmum: CINDERELLA! WHAT TERRIBLE THING HAVE YOU DONE!? YOU'VE ORDERED US CHICKEN AND MUSHROOM PIZZAS! HOW COULD YOU POISON US LIKE THAT? YOU EXPECT US TO EAT GREEN VEGETABLES AND PEASANTS' FOOD?

Cinderella: But Stepmum, mushrooms AREN'T green!

Stepmum: what nonsense girl! Mushrooms can be whatever colour I want them to be! And I say they're green so there!

Cinderella: Okay stepmum, sorry I'll cancel the order and get the chicken one instead.

Anastasia (comes onto stage): Ugh! Where is it? I told you two minutes ago to get me a new phone case! This one's nearly two weeks old! Utterly preposterous! Go get me a new one now and make sure it's either pink, purple or red and spotty but don't get a stripy one. Stripes are SOOO out of fashion!

Druzilla (comes onto stage): There you are! Chop Chop! Get me a double cheese hamburger with extra potato fries, chunky chips exactly the size of a tv, no more or less, and…. Hmmmm…. Do Deliveroo bring Lattes?

Scene 2: The Fairy Godmother

Cinder: I wish I wasn't bossed around and under-appreciated.

*Fairy godmother appears*

Cinderella: AAAAAAAAAGH!

FGM: I am not here to hurt you, Cindy. Bibbedy Bobeddy Boo! I present this phone to you! *magics up phone. *Use it wisely I say, until the end of today. The solution you must find. But make sure you keep in mind: The data runs out at midnight! Oh, and I almost forgot! I'm Your Fairy godmother! Toodloo! *disappears*

Cinder: (Looks bewildered)

Scene three: The Phone

(Cinderella is looking at her phone)

Cinder: Hmmmm… Gooogle Chrome. A (looks at name) Brooowzer….. Interesting…. Ooh… What's this? Tik Tok? Oh Yes…. That's the app Druzzilla loves…. Nothing exciting…. Ooh…. Skype! Wonder what this is? No, that needs an account….. Aha! Tinder! A… Dating app? Hmmmm….. This might come in handy! I wonder what it's got? *clicks buttons*

*Swipes pics of potential boyfriends that she doesn't really like*

Cindy: Hmmm… Who on earth is this? Not really my type… Ooh… I like this one! Oh, wait… No, he lives in Australia. *SIGHS*.

Cindy: *Suddenly Smiles* Prinz dude? You…. You're charming, aren't you? *Clicks pic of him)

*Reads* You are invited to a zoom meeting at 9.00: "The Ball" Hosted by user Prinz_Dude *Grins*

Scene four: Arguement

Anastasia: Cinders! CINDERS! Get down here right now! Where's my new phone? Drussi got a zoom ball invite from My Prince Charming!

Cindy: *raises eyebrows* Your Prince Charming?

Anastasia: Yes yes yes. Prinz Dude like, TOTES Absoluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuutely adores me. *flicks hair* I'm like, his Princess charming!

Cindy: *mutters under breath* Yeah Right… Like a cool and awesome guy like him would fall for a snobby brat like her….

*Druzzilla comes*

Druzilla: Ugh! Seriously! What Utter, like, RUBBISH! Prinz Dude LOVES ME!

Anastasia: Even though you've never met him!

Druzilla: *Cheeks flush furiously pink* Well you haven't either!

Anastasia: Well, we bonded on Insta! And don't forget that we are BESTIES on Snapchat! I've seen every single pic of him!

Druzilla: Fine then. If you really do know him on any of those, what's his user?

Anastasia: *Nervous* Yeah… Well.. It's OBVS Prinz—Dude042

Druzilla: HA! Wrong! It's-

(Cindy sighs and leaves, leaving them to their argument as their voices die down. She goes to bed.)

*A few hours later*

Scene 5: Excitement

Cindy: (Really excited) Please wait for the meeting host to let you in? *excited* I can't wait! I can't wait! Please let me in, meeting host! *Dreamily* Prinz Dude. *Sighs happily* WOOHOO! I finally get to meet him! *Jumps around in excitement* Choose your nickname? Ummm… Defo not Cinderella…. Anna and Drussi would find out… How about…. Ella? Yep. *types in name*

*Whispers* yes! I'm in!

Scene 6: The Ball

Prinz Dude: Yo! Wassup! Fangirls, ladiiiiiiiez and gentlemen…. Welcome to…. The annual ball! Hosted by…. Drumroll please…. *all of audience drums on their laps*

ME! PRINZ DUDE!

*Everyone cheers*

Prinz: Otherwise know as Mr Awesome, Prince Charming, . And #MyPrincyPie123 by one extremely annoying fangirl! *laughs*

*Anastasia blushes nervously and Cinderella looks at her image on the screen and grins*

Cinderella and Prinz Dude message privately in the chat room

Cinder: Yes…. It was lovely talking to you… what do you say? We'll talk again when you're done with your zoom ball?

Prinz Dude: Yh… KK. Buttt wuts ur number? And u still havent told me ur real name…. Apparently it wasn't Ella?

Cinder: Yes. It's actually- *Beep*

*Reads* You have left the meeting: you are out of Data. WHAT? NO! Oh, How could I have forgotten! I was warned! The data runs out at midnight!

Prinz Dude and Cinderella were heartbroken. But luckily, Prinz had taken many snapshots of his screen. After using a facial recognition app, he tracked her down, and a few weeks later, he turned up at her door with the image of her on his phone. Of course, the stepsisters tried to convince him that they were the ones in the picture. But the facial recog app never lies. He sighed. But then suddenly, Cinderella appears. And you all know how the story ends. They lived:

#HappilyEverAfter.
