Cinderella's Leaving…

Ro listened to the big speakers around the school. The pomline was practicing a dance routine. She kept running around the track listening to the music. She looked over at the large clock on the scoreboard.


I used to be a girlfriend and I know I did it well
Oh yes you know its true
You'd call me Cinderella
All you had to do was yell
And I'd be there for you

Here I am
So try to forgive me
I don't believe in fairy tales
Here we are with nothing but honesty
I've had enough
I'm not gonna stay

I'm sorry for running away like this
And I'm sorry, I've already made my wish
Ahaah, But Cinderella is got to go

From time to time
I'd try to tell just what was on my mind.
You'd tell me not today.
Come back, do that.
Well, Cinderella ah...
was all you had to say

Here I am
So try to forgive me
I don't believe in fairy tales
Here we are with nothing but honesty
I've had enough
I'm not gonna stay

I'm sorry for running away like this
And I'm sorry I've already made my wish
Ahaah, But Cinderella is got to go

I'm sorry just trying to live my life
Don't worry you are going to be alright
Ah, But Cinderella is got to go..

You use to say I want you
You cast me in your spell
I did everything you wanted me to do
But now I shout
First your reasons why you lie to me
I wont be blind you see
My love it can't be sacrificed
I won't pretend to be
I'm so sorry
I've already made up my mind
I won't return to you
I'm sorry to say
I'm running away now
Don't worry you will be alright...

I'm running away
I'm made up my mind now
you're gonna have to let me go

(she is got to goooooooooooo)

I'm sorry for running away like this
And I'm sorry I've already made my wish
Ah, But Cinderella is got to go
I'm sorry just trying to live my life
Don't worry you are going to be alright
Ah, But Cinderella is got to go


Ro looked over across the field to see two small boys looking at her sadly. They were watching over her. Making sure Warren wasn't around. "Don't worry Jay Duo you're wronged heroine is going to fight against the villain of the story."

"You think she's spot us?" Jack asked Jake. He just shrugged in response. They watched as she walked in their direction. She was in danger. They could sense it. They wanted to stop this horrible feeling but the only one who could do that was Ro.

Ro shook her head. "Come on you two lets go on home."

"Happy birthday Ro." They both said simultaneously.

"Thanks Super Jay Duo."

"So what adventure is Ro Rowen action hero going to endure today?"

"Survive the birthday party was my mission but now having to take a shower and get ready in thirty minutes before I start my first mission." Once they learned of her nickname they wanted action hero names too. She sneaked them into the locker. They covered their eyes as she stepped in the shower. They opened their eyes again as she pulled a curtain around her.

"Ro you're gonna get a big surprise tonight." Jake said smiling. Jack looked at him strangely.

"Oh yeah mom and dad got me that great of a present?"

"Sure that's part of it." She smiled washing her hair. She came out in a towel. They smirked at each other.

"Turn around you two." They did as she placed some underwear and a bra on before slipping a dress over her body. "Alright you two can turn around now." She sat on the bench. Jack grabbed the towel drying her hair. She grabbed some makeup placing it lightly on her face. She had Jake put her stuff in her locker and lock it up. She grabbed her backpack heading out.

The two boys followed her out to her bright yellow jeep. They jumped in swiftly having the seatbelts automatically click on them. Ro tossed her backpack down in the back. She bolted out of the parking lot telling the boys to hold on. They knew only the surface of her stunt driving skills. At stoplights she brushed her hair back.

She sighed as she looked at the time. She was right on time as always. Jake and Jack were giggling to themselves. "You aren't going to tell anyone got it."

"Didn't know you were such a good driver sis."

"All action heroines are."

"I bet you're the only one who can get from a sweaty mess to this and drive a thirty five minute drive in just a half an hour. "

"Just minor details."

"I'm gonna be just like you when I grow up Ro."

"I'm sure mom will be thrilled." He giggled. She wondered how Ian was going to survive living with them. She picked him up helping him out of the jeep followed by Jack. She had a party to go to. Her party. It was like her going away party. She was leaving Kansas City after this. She didn't know where she would go but she couldn't stay.

She was running out of time to back out of it. She just hoped Warren felt like popping the question in front of everyone. She was sure she couldn't back out of that one. Jack and Jake held her hands. She was going to say goodbye to her worries.

Ro pushed her hair back entering the diner seeing her parents setting up a few things. The Morgans where there. Her parents had picked them up from the train station earlier. "Ro, look at how much you've changed."

"I think I've taken notice." She said smirking at Tiffy.
