Sin de Rella: The Story of How the Prince got Screwed Over
by Minako
Once again, this was for my Writer's Craft course last semester. I don't really like it all that much, but I hate writing scripts. However, other people have found it amusing, so I figured that I'd post it. The assignment was to write a parody of a fairy tale. This is my parody of the original Cinderella (as in the one written by the Grimm Brothers, not the nicey-nice Disney version)

Scene iii
Same room. Sin de Rella is sitting in the chair, staing off into space. Her stepsister is in the doorway, but Sin de Rella doesn't see her.
Sin de Rella: What a perfect evening; now I'll marry the Prince, and I'll get all of his money. I'll become Queen and I'll never have to so much as lift a finger ever again.
Stepsister enters the room.
Stepsister: I knew it! That girl at the ball was you! You snuck out of the house and went to the ball, even after Mother asked you not to, you wicked girl!
Enter Stepmother and the prince.
Stepmother: Calm down, girls.
Stepsister: Why Mother, what is he doing here?
Stepmother: He's looking for his bride. He wants to marry the girl he met last night. Come now, dearest, why don't you try this shoe on? The girl left it behind.
Stepsister and Stepmother walk to downstage left. They're spotlighted; Sin de Rella and the prince freeze.
Stepmother: (aside) I know that it was Sin de Rella he was with last night, but we can't let the poor man marry her unknowingly. I want you to force the shoe on, by any means necessary. We have to save the prince from your stepsister.
Stepsister: (aside) Okay.
Lights on again. The stepsister exits through the door. The stepmother returns to Sin de Rella and the prince.
Stepmother: This is my stepdaughter, Sin de Rella. She didn't make it to the ball last night.
Prince: A pleasure. It is unfortunate that you didn't make it to the ball. It was a grand festivity.
Sin de Rella: I was there, I-
Re-enter Stepsister. She's limping and the shoe is now stained red.
Stepsister: It fits!
Prince: At last, I have found my bride! Come, live with me and be my love!
Stepsister: Surely!
The two head out, but as they reach the door, Zorenge's voice comes from offstage.
Zorenge: Turn and peep, turn and peep. There's blood within the shoe. The shoe is too small for her, the true bride waits for her.
The prince looks around in surprise, trying to locate the voice. He then looks at the shoe, and sees that it is indeed stained red.
Prince: Deceitful woman! How dare you try to trick me! You aren't my true bride! Off with her head!
Two guards come in and drag the stepsister away. The stepmother begins to sob.
Sin de Rella: It was I! I was the girl at the ball! She reaches under the chair and pulls out the matching slipper.
The prince examines the slipper.
Prince: It's the truth! She is my true bride! Come, live with me and be my love!
The two head out, and aren't stopped by Zorenge. The stepmother runs after them, trying to convince the prince of the error of his ways. "Off with her head, too" is heard from offstage.
Enter Zorenge from behind the curtans.
Zorenge: Well, Sin de Rella will live happily ever after. She'll become Queen and never have to lift a finger again. The prince will live unhappily ever after, but that's what he gets for marrying Sin de Rella without getting to know her. All in all, my work here is done.
Zorenge brushes off his hands, then exits through the door stage left. Lights out. End scene iii.

Well, that's that. Like or hate it. Review please! Kind crits are ok, but flames make me cry.
