Beatrix-That was…disturbing. Ahem. The two sis- I mean children were very busy in preparing for the big day. When it finally arrived they called Cindereiko to consult their dresses…
(curtain opens to reveal Eiko, Dagger, and Quina, wearing the hat again, in the parlor)
Dagger-Cindereiko, what do you think of my dress?
Eiko-Well,…* what can I do to make her look worse?* since you asked, we'll have to get rid of those pearls and use ore instead.
Dagger-A-are you sure? Ore? But isn't that a little… cheep looking?
Eiko-Of coarse not! It's very… stylish.
Dagger-…
Eiko-Trust me! I have good taste.
Dagger-O-okay.
Quina-Me decided no diamonds? What you think of robe?
Eiko-Uh…* I can't really do anything to make him more ugly…* G-great!
Quina-Me trust you! You have good taste, like froglop pastries!
Eiko-Uh, yeah whatever you say…
Dagger-Don't you want to go to the ball, Cindereiko?
Eiko-Are you crazy? Of coarse I would! But I have to do your laundry and wash your windows…
Dagger-Too bad.
(curtain closes)
Beatrix-When the much awaited moment arrived, the two sis-I mean children, proudly stepped into the beautiful carriage that would take them to the palace. Cindereiko watched them for as long as she could and when they were out of sight she sat down in the garden and began to cry…
(curtain opens to reveal Eiko in a garden)
Eiko-(cries)
I wish I could go to the ball! But wishes never come true. Ahem.
(begins to sing very off key)
A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're fast asleeep
Steiner-(enters)
Stop that at once!
Eiko-Who the heck are you?
Steiner-I…
(raises wand)
…am your Fairy Godfather.
Eiko-…Don't you mean Fairy Godmother?
Steiner-I would have said that if that's what I meant!
Eiko-Touchy. What are you doing here?
Steiner-I heard your wish, and unfortunately your horrible singing, and I am here to grant it.
Eiko-Really?
Steiner-Yes.
Chimomo-(runs on stage)
Who are you, kupo?
Steiner-I am her Fairy Godfather.
Chimomo-Uh, don't you mean Fairy Godmother, kupo?
Steiner-(stomps feet)
No!
Chimomo-O-okay, kupo.
Steiner-Now for your dress…
(hands Eiko rag)
Eiko-This is my dress!?
Steiner-In the next scene it will magically become a white gown. And for your shoes…
(hands Eiko a pair of running shoes)
Eiko-Aren't they supposed to be glass slippers!?
Steiner-Yes, but we're a little short of Gil. …You will need a coach. Quick get me two gyshal pickles.
Eiko-Alright.
(runs off stage and returns with pickles. Hands them to Steiner)
Here. Why do you need two?
Steiner-Isn't that obvious? One for your coach and one for me to eat!
(eats gyshal pickle in one bite)
Eiko-Ew, gross! …How is a pickle going to become a coach?
Steiner-Just wait.
(puts remaining pickle on ground)
Lower it down boys!
(coach is lowered down on top of pickle)
Eiko-(sarcastically)
Wow, what great special effects we have!
Steiner-(mutters)
Ungrateful child.
Eiko-What about chocobos or a coachman …or woman because I'm not biased, like some people!
Steiner-Greedy, aren't we? You there moogle, bring me seven oglops!
Chimomo-I didn't know fairies ate oglops too, kupo!
Steiner-(stomps feet)
They are not for eating! …Although I've never tried them.
Chimomo-Uh-huh…
(runs off stage and retrieves seven oglops)
Stop hopping around! I can't control them, kupo!
(oglops hop into audience)
Audience-(screams)
Beatrix-Um, please do not be alarmed. We have crew members collecting the oglops as I speak. Thank you.
Eiko-What about my chocobos!?
Steiner-Hold your horses-er, I mean chocobos. Heh, heh, heh.
Eiko-That was funny?
Steiner-Six of the oglops have become golden chocobos….
(six gold chocobos enter)
…and the seventh a coachman.
Cid-(hops onstage)
Gwok-gwok! This is embarrassing…
Eiko-Um, the seventh oglop is still an oglop.
Steiner-Yes, but he can speak.
Eiko-…
Steiner-You must be back by midnight.
Eiko-Yes mother… I mean father.
Steiner-Because after that, the spell will be broken…
(curtain closes)
