A Cinderella Story
Chapter 6
By

"Cindi!"
"Cindi!"
"Cindi!"
"Ugh, WHAT?!" I hollered at my stepfamily. My dad and all the rest of the guys left me here, so they could go fit themselves for tuxedos. 'You'll be bored if you come' dad told me before shutting the door.
"Did you do the dishes?" Ruth asked from the living room.
"Hem my dress, will you?" Kahea asked from the stairs.
"Is lunch ready?" Josh questioned from the back door.
"No, no, and no." I answered through gritted teeth.
"Excuse me young lady? Did you just refuse to do all those things?" Ruth said in a darkening tone. 'What ever you do, don't make Ruth mad.' Duos words rang through my head and I took a deep breath.
"No ma'am." I went around doing all the chores they asked, and I looked like an orphan when everyone got back.
"Cindi, why are you such a mess? We're leaving in two hours for the airport." My dad informed me.
"W-what? Why?"
"The ball start tomorrow. We have to be there already. And your mom is stopping by to send you off, and she's dropping off Zach and Jack. They're going also."
"Ddddaaaddddd. Why did you let them come?"
"She asked me. What was I suppose to say? No I don't like them?"
"I don't!"
"Forget it Cindi. Go take a shower, get your things packed and then we'll head off."
"Ok dad." And I trekked up stairs. I heard Tai, Eric and David follow me up so they could pack their things as well.
Within the hour, we were packed up in the car, and were speeding off to the airport. Duo's car could only hold four people, so they put Tai, Eric, David and me in it; David was driving. Suddenly out of nowhere, my dad pulled up in a humongous suburban and was able to fit Kahea, Josh, Zack, Jack, Duo, Trowa, Wufei and himself in it. How? Like I know. My mom told me once that my dad had hyperspace in his spandex. O.o I didn't even want to know what that was about! (Ewww...) Ok, anyway...we were speeding off to the airport.
In the car...
SILENCE
"Guys?" I finally spoke from the back seat. Tai was sitting next to me with little tiny reading glasses on and he had a manual of some sort in his lap. Eric, who was sitting in the passenger seat, had been keeping his head down so I looked over the seat and saw that he was absorbed in an arubix (?) cube.
"Ah-hem" I cleared my throat.
"Yeah Cindi," David replied from the steering wheel. The other two looked up as well.
"I was wondering," I started, "what actually happens at the ball?"
"Well, I think it's kind of complicated." Tai began, "It lasts for four days. The prince and princess are 16 years of age, so they get to decide. The first day is introductions. Prince Aden and/or Princess Lily will come through and introduce themselves to you. It's your chance to try and leave a lasting impression on them. Then that night its dinner and dancing. The next day will be kind of like fun time. You get to know your competitors, and then dinner and dancing. On the third day, the prince and princess will get to spend a certain amount of time with each of the guest to talk and learn about each other. I think every girl is waiting for the third day. The fourth night will be held in the Ballroom. Dinner will be served; we will dance until midnight and at 12:01 the Prince and Princess will announce who they choose. After that, who ever wins will get to get to know them better and history happens."
I sat there in awe. I hadn't even known it was four days long, let alone there was dancing EVERY night.
"Wow." I muttered. Eric turned to look at me with a puzzled look. I stared into his eyes, and noticed his black eye from the other day was just going away. I luckily never got a black eye from when Ruth punched me.
"Cindi, just how badly do you want to win?"
"Well, I don't know. Prince Aden is cute and everything but I don't know him. Besides, saying 'win' is like saying it's a game." He smiled and turned around.
"Ok," he replied and the car was silent the rest of the way to the airport. After the ride though is chaos. Everyone grabbed their luggage put in the luggage department, and sprinted toward the gate, which was about to close. Josh, Jack and Zach all pushed me back, while dragging Kahea (who couldn't run worth crap). Zach even pushed me to the point that I fell face forward.
"HAHA! You loser!" he screamed. I started to get up, and suddenly something grabbed me by my waist and began running.
"David!"
"No time Cindi, gotta run!" We then got into the gate jumped on to the shuttle and took our seats.
"Thanks David," I whispered to him as the plane started.
"No problem, I thought something like that would happen." I smiled at him and gave him a hug. Eric and Tai were sitting on the other side of me so Eric and David were on the edges of the row.
"Wow, Arabia is so beautiful." I exclaimed as we got off the shuttle 5 hours later.
"Ok everyone." I heard my dads voice as everyone piled into the airport lobby. "We're going to go to the Winner Estate 3 hours early. Zach, you being the oldest, I will rent you a car and let you take Jack, Josh and Kahea out for a drive around the Obaracho Kingdom. The rest of us will be going to the Estate early. Just be back on time."
"Right sir," Zach acknowledged with a big grin. I smiled even bigger. For once in about a year I wasn't going to be around either one of those four.
We watched them drive away, and then a limo came to pick us up.
"Here are our ride kids." Trowa announced then he opened the door for all of us.
