Title: CinderSakura
Author: Darkness of death
Author's notes: Hi, this is a I am not really sure how many parts story. Cinderella transformed into the CCS way. Yes, here are a few notes about the characters. Oh yeah, the story might be a little bit weird cuz I switched some things around. Like they didn't have washing machines back then. But they do now. And the things might sound a little weird to you. Since they have castles and Princes but they also have e-mail so bare with me thank you!
Sakura: Cinderella
Syaoran: Prince Charming
Tomoyo: The fairy
Meilin (sorry!): Evil older sister
Mindy (A/N: I couldn't think of any other names): Other evil sister
Melody: Evil Stepmother
Disclaimer: I don't own CCS, but I do own the characters I made up.
Kero: Who wants your characters anyway?
Darkness: Well, I like my characters
Kero: haha very funny and where am I in this story?
Darkness: See that's for calling my characters dumb. You don't get the cake OR get to be in the story.

Darkness: not working!
Kero: Oh I give up!

"Get over here Sakura! You forgot to clean my shoes!" Meilin yelled. I Sakura of course had to clean them or I don't get dinner!
"Coming, dear sister of mine." I was forced to say that. But, it doesn't much. I don't mean it of course!
"Hey, you Sakura! YOU just forgot to wash my laundry. How am I suoppose to go on a date without new freshly cleaned clothing??" Mindy screamed.
"Sorry, Mindy! I will fix that as soon as possible." I replied. Working for those monsters is harder than scrubbing the kitchen floor. And let me tell you it's not a pretty sight. (A/N: Okay, I have noticed that sometimes Sakura don't sound like that. Don't complain in the reviews. Just complain to me instead!)
"Come on Sakura." Meilin yelled.
"I am coming sister of mine!"
"humph."
"DEAR sister of mine." I corrected myself. I hate saying that. But, that's life I guess.
I grabbed Meilin's dirty shoes. How can she wear two-inch high heels? Won't she fall? Well, I don't care right now. I just want to clean her dirty shoes and get out of here. I grabbed a brush and quickly began my work. I squeezed some cleaning paste on to her shoe and scrubbed it hard. Well, the stains did come off. I quickly wiped the foam on her shoe and let it dry. I quickly did the same with the other and set it down.
"Oh darling sister Meilin! I have finished cleaning your shoes!" I wiped the sweat on my forehead and brought the shoes over to Meilin. She sat there looking just like her mother. Evil and selfish. She glanced at me as if I was a maid.
"Sakura dear won't you put them on for me? I just got my nail polish on andI don't want to smudge it." She grinned evilly and stared at me.
"Of course." I quickly knelt down and put both of her shoes on for her.
But then, Mindy walked by with her hands on her waist starring at Meilin.
"I knew it! You are here sucking up to Meilin. Don't you know who's important around here? Put her stupid shoes on and let's get a move on. I need to get my dress done TONIGHT!" She screamed.
"TONIGHT? It's already 10, when is your date anyway?" I asked.
"What are you my mother? Now just go to the laundry room and clean my dress. Remember it's the short black one!"
"Yes, darling sister of mine." I smiled fakely and headed down to the basement. Indeed the black dress was lying on top of the dryer like a piece of rag.
I picked the dress up and examine it. It wasn't that bad. I carefully put it on myself and pretended I was in a beautiful castle and I was dancing with the Prince. I would love to do that. But, just then my stepmother stepped in.
"What on earth are you doing? Now get to work whatever you're doing." She said fiercely.
"Oh, I am very sorry mother dear. I guess I was day dreaming again." I smiled fakely and went back to work. I stuffed the dress in the machine and let it wash. Quickly my stepmother left. She didn't want to spend another minute in the filthy basement. I sat around and watch the dress whirl around in the machine. The basement wasn't that bad. It was pretty nice for me. Well, I live in the basement what would I know?
"Is that stupid dress done yet?" Mindy suddenly appeared at the doorway looking very angry.
"I am sorry. It's not done yet."
"STILL?"
"If you don't want the stupid dress can I have it?"
"In your dreams!" Mindy snickered and walked away.
I glanced down at what I was wearing, a dirty apron over a very old housedress. It was already dirty and there are many holes. I couldn't ask for a new one. Who would give me a new one?
My dress is checkered just like the picnic blanket. At first I thought it WAS made of the picnic blanket.
Suddenly, the Washing machine beeped. I quickly pressed the stop button and took the wet dress out of the machine and carefully place it in the dryer. I thought it was a waste washing one dress and using as much water and electricity as a whole load. I couldn't complain.
Then I heard a scream coming from upstairs. I quickly climbed on and wandered into Meilin's room. She was the one screaming.
"What's wrong?"
"What's wrong? What's wrong? I'll tell you what's wrong. You're wrong. You ruined my new blouse!"
"Don't you mean T-shirt?"
"Whatever. Its got lipsticks all over it!"
"Lipstick?"
"Yes Lipstick. I bet you did it on purpose."
"I am sorry Meilin. But I don't even posses a lipstick."
"HaHa, then I bet Mindy paid you to do this to me. She is just SO jealous. Because I am better than her in every way!" Yeah in your dreams I thought. Non of them is perfect! Not even close.
"No, Mindy didn't pay me. You probably got it on and forgot about it."
"Get out of here you little lair. Don't ever step in my room again!"
"Fine." I muttered. I quickly approached the basement to check on the dress. It was done. I quickly fished it out and folded it neatly.
"Mindy your dress is done." I yelled.
"Don't yell. Get up here!"
"YES!" I quickly ran up to her room and handed her the dress.
"Well, go now! I don't need a disgusting slut like you hanging around here now leave or you don't get um breakfast!"
"I never got dinner anyway." I muttered to myself.
"What was that?"
"Nothing my darling sister." I smiled and ran back down to the basement. I went straight for my room. My room was very neat even though it's very old and I don't have a lot in it.
My room had a very old wooden bed with a mattress that the springs went bad. The covers have many stitches in it, because it's very old. But, my pillow is very neat. There is also a table and a closet. The closet isn't much of a closet just a really old and big wooden box. I had to work on the hinges myself. I didn't mind though. The desk is more of another huge wooden thing. It's three huge piece of wood nailed onto two other piece of wood. And there it is my desk.
Then I heard a yell from my stepmother.
"SAKURA! WE'RE GOING OUT! DO ALL YOUR CHORES BEFORE YOU GO TO SLEEP. AND NO WATCHING TV OR USING MEILIN'S COMPUTER YOU HEAR?" She called.
"Yes mother!" I replied.
Then I heard the door shut. I had the whole house to myself. Except that I couldn't watch t.v. or use the computer. But ,what she doesn't know is that I don't even need it. I have fun reading. I can find all sorts of cool stuff in the attic.
When I am alone. I think about all the good things that might happen to me in the future. I think of beautiful dresses. Princes, castles and many other wonderful and magical things. I had finished all my chores a very long time ago. So I didn't have anything to do other than read or lye around. But, soon they returned. It was already past midnight. And I was asleep in my bed when I heard the door opening then I heard someone scream for my name.
''SAKURA! Get up here and take my coat!" Meilin yelled. (Sorry all Meilin fans)
"Mine too!" Mindy added.
"How could you girls?" My stepmother said.
"What?" Meilin and Mindy both answered.
"Get here now Sakura and take my shoes too!" The stepmother replied.
Meilin and Mindy grinned and both yelled," Ours too!"
I did want breakfast. So I quickly rushed up and helped them. I took their coats and shoes. Are they that lazy they couldn't take their own coat? How did they put it on?
But I didn't have much time to think. My name was yelled again.
"SAKURA! Turn on the hot water for me. I want to take a bath!" Meilin yelled.
In the other bathroom. I heard the same request. I quickly rushed to Meilin and turned the hot water on and did the same for Mindy, as for my stepmother. She only asked me to unroll her bed.
I walked sleepily back to my room. It was 12 o'clock and I had to get up at 6 A.M. to make breakfast because some of them want a power walk and they want their food fresh. And I have to go the market and do so.
But, eventually I got my sleep. Let's just hope tomorrow is much better than today.
*THE NEXT DAY*
The only highlight of my day is probably the mailman. He's the only one that acturellys smiles at me when he hands me the mail. I am not allowed to go through the mail. And I never acturelly get any mail so there is no point going through.
"Good morning. Sakura." The mailman smiled and handed me the wad of bills.
"Thank you and good morning to you too!" I replied his smile.
"You're welcome and see you again tomorrow!" He waved and moved on to the next house.
I smiled and carefully placed the mail on the breakfast table. The family usually goes through them while they eat breakfast. As to my knowledge, they agreed on pancakes today. Yikes no milk! How am I suoppose to make any pancakes without milk? Borrow some from next door? Oh well, we'll just have to do it with what we have! I sighed. I better warn them.
I quickly begin the making of the pancakes, it didn't smell that bad maybe they won't notice.
Mindy, Meilin and my stepmother walked down stairs in their fancy robes. I told them that breakfast was served and the mail was on the table.
"Uh the pancakes are-" I was cut off by Meilin. Both of them goes to high school. How I yearn to go to school too! But I am not allowed because I should help around the house. Stepmother is never home during the day. She is out playing poker with her friends.
"Mindy, what are you wearing to school today?" Meilin asked.
"Uh like I am so not sure. Since it's like our first day with guys and all so like I am so not sure!" Indeed Mindy was very picky with her clothing and Meilin and her is having their first day of school with boys in it! They were very excited.
"Good point!" Meilin replied looking disgusted.
"Uh like I was saying the pancakes are-" I was cut off by Mindy.
"Shut up will you Sakura? We're trying to have a quiet breakfast here." I stepped off. If they don't want to be warned it's their problem. But, then I heard a clink. A spoon was dropped on the floor.
"What's wrong?" I asked. I picked the spoon up quickly traded it for a new one.
"Oh MY GOD!" Meilin yelled with delight.
"Hey give me that!" Mindy grabbed the fancy looking letter from Meilin and read out-loud.
"Dear whoever is reading, whoever in your family is 18 years old or younger that have not been married is invited to the ball. Prince Charming will be there selecting his new wife. We hope to see you there." Mindy grinned evilly. I knew what she was up to. (A/N: Okay the letter was extremely lame but I couldn't think of anything else!)
I gasped. How I wanted to come too! I would be yelling with delight too if I could go. But, what would I wear? A new apron instead? Anyway, stepmother won't allowed me going. Why even try?
