He lives a wonderful life with his wife, Scarlett, a beautiful singer with a angel voice, and a lovely daughter, Judith who have inherited her mother beautiful voice. They have a wealthy life together, till the day Scarlett grow very ill from a terrible illness."
(In a room, a woman lay on her bed, looking very weak and pale. By her side, a young girl with brown hair, pale blue eyes and fair skin sat by her mother with tears eyes. Her father, Stuart held his wife hand in sadness.)
Stuart: Oh Scarlett, my muse. Don't leave me.
Scarett: I'm sorry my love, I must go now. Judy.
Judy: Yes mommy?
Scarlett: (hand her a lapis lazuli necklace) Please remember to never lose what's important to you, be kind and have courage in your heart. I love you..
Judy: I love you too mommy.
(Scarlett drew a last breath, before closing her eyes and lay still. Staurt cry, as Judy let tears fall from her eyes.)
"Stuart was so heartbroken by the lost of his wife, that he refuse to play music for anyone. Years past as Judy grow into a fair young girl, but Stuart is still heartbroken by the sight of Judy acting like her mother and having her voice. Then by luck, he marry another woman, Paula. They wed right before Judy's ten birthday. Paula's even have two daughters in the same age as Judy. Bridget and Maggie."
(In their new house, Judy in the age ten, but her hair have grown a blue bang on her right side. She sit next to her father, who is ill on his deathbed. On the shadows, his new wife, Paula with dark hair and cold dark blue eyes. By her side are her two daughters, Bridget with dark hair and green eyes and Maggie with blonde hair and hazel eyes. Stuart turn to Judy as she feel tears in her eyes.)
Stuart: Be good, my daughter.
Judy: Yes pappy.
(He key down and grow pale. Judy cry her eyes out. Paula, who haven't shed a tear, just smirk at this. Looking very dark that will bring Judy to hell.)
"By the time Staurt fell dead, it was then Paula show her true color, cold, cruel and envious. She was determined to make Judy's life worse, jealous of Judy's beauty and beautiful voice, and make her their servants. She even let her daughters take Judy's belongings and take her room, making her sleep in a corner of the old fireplace. But over the years, Judy grow more beautiful than her step-sisters and that makes them more jealous of her and want to broke her. But Judy refuse to show weakness, knowing one day she will leave them and have her happily ever after."
(The sun raise up and shine through a window, beaming at a sleeping figure. The figure groan and get up. Revealing a lovely sixteen year old Judy with long hair and healthy skin and color. She stretch and get up. Another day in hell she thought herself. She walk to her bowl and rinse her face and dress in her clothes which is a old brown pant with patches, a white blouse and tie her pant with a rope and doesn't have shoes on and wear her mother necklace. Rising from the covers is a raccoon, he stretch and jumped out.)
Judy: Morning Rudiger, lovely morning is it?
(He chatter at her in respond. She let out a giggle as she pick him up.)
Judy: Yeah, but every morning end in a worse night. Best better get breakfect ready or step-mom and my step-sisters will throw another fits at me.
(She walk to the kitchen and start cooking everything like fried eggs with toasts, bacon and fresh berries with tea for drinks. It was then that the bells start ringing, she groan at this, they're awake now.)
Voices: Judy!
Judy: Coming!
(She put the plates and cups in trays, holding them on her head and hands as she carry them upstairs. She is very careful to not let them dropped or else they'll be mad. She stopped on the first door, she knock on the door with her hip and open as she went in.)
Judy: Morning Bridget.
Bridget: Took you so long. I got a huge bag with all my laundry and make sure they are clean by tonight, you get?!
Judy: Loud and clear Bridget.

(She exist it and head to the last one. She knock on the door and enter.)
Judy: Good morning step-mother.
Paula: Ah, thank you. And just in time. I have here and bag of my dirty clothes. Be a dear and have them clean for me.
Judy: Understood step-mother.
(She exist out and head downstairs with all the dirty laundry in her hands and head as she walk downstairs and to the laundry room. She get started on washing them. Rudiger came and jumped in the soapy water. Get wet and fur all wet with soapy water, Judy let out a giggle.)
Judy: Rudiger, you'll get me in trouble if they find out.
(He just shrugged. Coming in is a baby swan, as she swim on the water.)
Judy: Odette, get out of there.
(Odette quack and jumped out. In her shoulder, a chameleon watch with a smile as he look at Judy.)
Judy: Not now Pascal, later.
(But then they heard a loud scream, Judy get up and run upstairs to see what's the problem. There she see her sisters trying to hit a fox with a broom. Maggie hit with the broom while Bridget screamed loud. The fox hissed at them with bearing teeth.)
Maggie: oh you stupid mutt!
Judy: Wait!
(She run and grab the fox, holding it close to her chest.)
Judy: Don't hurt it, it's just a fox!
Maggie: Just a fox?! That thing came in out of nowhere! Did you let it in!?
Judy: What? No, I don't recal-
Bridget: Mother! Judy is letting wild animals in our house!
(Coming out of her room, Paula see her daughters looking scared and Judy holding the fox. She glare at her.)
Paula: Judy, take that thing outside now.
Judy: Y-Yes step-mother.
(Judy walk downstairs with the fox. She open the door, and set the fox down.)
Judy: Go on little fellow.
(The fox look at her, lick her hand an run off. Judy watch the fox run away, the horse, Max, tun to Judy with pity eyes.)
Judy: I'll be fine Max.
Paula: Judy!
(Judy let out a sighed, time to face her punishment. She walk back inside. Meanwhile at the castle, King Quirin caught his son, Prince Varian almost blowing up the library with his chemical formula. Prince Varian stands before his father as he listen to him scold.)
Quirin: This behaver of yours must stopped, you almost destroy all our books.
Varian: I'm sorry dad.
Quirin: Last time, it was the study rooms, the garden, our throne and now this!? I know you love alchemy, but thet's no way to take over a kingdom.
Varian: What do you mean?
Quirin: I think it's time you find a wife.
Varian: What!? B-But dad-
Quirin: No, it's decided. Eron!
(Coming in is his royal adviser, Eron. He hold a scrol with a quil in ink.)
Eron: Yes your majesty?
Quirin: Take note. Tomorrow night, we will have a ball in favor of my son finding a wife. Every eligible ladies is to attend.
Eron: Right away your majesty.
(Varian frowned at this, then he walk away. He doesn't want to give up what he love cause his father want him to rule with a stranger he never met, but he will soon regret it tomorrow. The next day, at Judy, she is folding every bedsheets while her sisters are practing singing lesson, but they sing horrible than Judy's angelic voice. Judy is now to be put double works by her mother, thanks to her sisters claiming she let the fox in. By the time she finish folding, there was a knock on the door. She open the door and show a royal messager.)
Judy: Can I help you good sir?
Aaron: (put out a invitation) For you.
Judy: Thank you.
(She close the door, open it and read it. Her eyes widen open. She walk upstairs, head to the music room and knock on the door. Paula open it.)
Paula: What is is?
Judy: A invitation from the king.
Maggie: From the king!?
(Paula grab it from Judy's hand and read.)
Paula: "BY order of King Quirin, he is holding a grand ball tonight for his son, Prince Varian to find a wife. Every eligible ladies is to attend."
Maggie: (swoon) Such a handsome and rich charmer.
Bridget: He will marry me at first sight.
Maggie: You? It's gonna be me!
Bridget: You're a ugly horse, it's me!
Maggie: Me!
Bridget: Me!
(The two start fighting, pulling each other hair and punching them. Till Paula stopped them.)
Paula: Girls, enough. We have time to get ready.
Judy: Does that mean me too?
Maggie: What? You?
Bridget: You're a dirt rat. What prince would want to marry you?
(The sisters laughed crudely. Judy just roll her eyes.)
Judy: You're forgetting that it said "Every eligible ladies", so that means me too. And you can't ignore a directed order from the king.
(Paula lips thin line, till she come up with a idea.)
Paula: You're right. I suppose you can go, if you can finish your chores in time.
Judy: You mean it?
Paula: Of course. If you want to come, you better get started.
(Judy smiled at this, run out and begin to get finish, but she doesn't know that Paula have other plans. Judy finish cleaning the floors, dusting everything, cleaning and ironing the clothes, cooking and doing the dishes. And now she is setting her sisters ready for the ball.)
Maggie: More glitter!
Bridget: More diamonds!
(Judy is in a spiral rollercoster, till she is done by the time the ball is ready. And she doesn't even anything to wear. Paula is by the door, smirking.)
Paula: Not ready? Hmm, it's a shame.
Judy: Please, just lend me a dress and I can get ready in time.
Paula: And let you steal our glory?
Judy: What are you saying?
Paula: You're more beautiful than us, have a more beautiful voice than us. We can't be outshines by you.
Judy: But pap told me inner beauty is more import-
(But she get slapped by her, the sisters watch with cruel smile. Judy hold her slapped cheek as she look at Paula with tearly eyes.)
Paula: Don't, talk about your father to me. I never loved him for him, it was always his money. And if you want to remind here, you keep your mouth shut. Now good night.
(Paula and the sisters leave and head out. Judy run to her room, crying as she sob on her bed. Rudiger, Pascal, Odete and Max all frowned at her. Rudiger curl next to Judy in a comforting manner. Judy sobbed and sobbed, not noticing the same fox came though a window and landed by her. She lick her hand, Judy look up and see the fox.)
Judy: Oh, it's you.
(The fox rub against her, feeling it's soft fur. Judy sighed in sadness.)
Judy: I wish I can go to the ball.
Fox: And so you shall.
(Judy jumped in surprised, did the fox talked? Judy stare at the fox)
Judy: Did you..talked?
Fox: Yes, I did.
(Red Magic surrond the fox. And in it's place, is a young lady. She is dressed in red in a dress, a red hood with a red wand and shoes, her hair is dark brown with red eyes. Judy stare in awed of this.0
Judy: Who are you?
Sinny: I am Sinny, your fairy god-sister.
Judy: I have a fairy god-sister?
Sinny: Yes, and you are very lucky to have one Judy.
Judy: You know my name?
Sinny: Yes. I disguise myself as a fox to see if there's any kindness in this house. Your step-sisters are awful, but you, you are full of love and kindness. And to reward you for that, I shall grant your wish to go to the ball.
Judy: (smile) Really?
Sinny: Yes. But I need a few thing. Do you have anything that is big enough?
(Judy think for a moment, then remember something. She run outside and to the pumpkin garden. She grab the biggest one there and bring in back to the house. Sinny smiled.)
Sinny: Perfect.
(She wave her wand in the air with red magic sprinkles, and pointed at the pumpkin. The pumpkin grow big and big, and turn into a lovely white and gold carriage with spiral wheels, a coach sit and decorative doors. Judy gasped at this.)
Judy: Amazing.
Sinny: Thank you, but we need transpiration of horses.
(Max neither by her ears, Sinny jumped in surprised. Then let out a laugh.)
Sinny: You'll do fine sweetie, but I need one more. (See Odette) Hello little one, would you like to help Judy?
(Odette nodded at her. With a wave of Sinny's wand, Odette turn into a white horse with white mane.)
Sinny: Don't you look lovely? Hmm.
(She spot Rudiger, he hide. But got lift in the air by Sinny's Magic.)
Sinny: We need someone to stir the horses.
(With a wave, she turn Rudiger in a chubby man with gray hair and dressed in a fancy suit and holding horses stirs.)
Sinny: There we go.
(Pascal jumped up. Sony smiled. With a wave of her wand, Pascal turn into a short man with green hair, fancy clothes and holding the door. Sinny beamed.)
Sinny: I believe that's all.
Judy: Uh Sinny.
Sinny: Yes?
Judy: They're beautiful, thank you. But will I go dressing like this?
(She raise her arm up, showing herself. Sinny look up and down, eyes widen.)
Sinny: Oh right. Silly me. Hmm, I got the perfect idea for you. Now hold still.
(Sinny wave her wand up, Magic surrond Judy. Her dirty clothes turn into a magnificent gown. The color is light teal, off shoulder with white long gloves, the skirt is full with ruffles, diamond earrings, hair up in a bun with stars in them, and glass slipper. Judy beamed big.)
Judy: Oh my..it's wonderful! Thank you so much!
(She hug Sinny.)
Judy: Thank you so much!
Sinny: I'm glad. But I'm afraid there're one thing you must know of this.
Judy: What you mean?
Sinny: My magic will only last till midnight. So before the clock strike twelve, you must leave at once. Understand?
Judy: Yes. Thank you again Sinny.
(Sinny smile at her, hug her tight and let Judy go as she went inside the carriage. Rudiger whip the horses off to the castle they went. Back at the ball, romantic music is heard and guest are dancing. Varian is board out of his mind, most of the girls rather dance with him than talk to him. Even when he talk about his love for alchemy, they cut him off and talk about his riches and how handsome he is and about themselves. Paula and the sisters came in. Maggie and Bridget run to where Varian is dancing with a young girl. Then they push her off. Before he can bark at the two for being rude, Maggie took him and dance with him.)
Maggie: Hello Prince Varian. I've been dying to meet you.
Varian: Uh..yeah. So..uh..what can you tell about yourself?
Maggie: Oh? Well. I have a great singing voice, I am rich and wealthy and I love to read.
Varian: Really? How interesting. Well, me. I love alche-
Maggie: Yeah, yeah, whatever. Tell me all about you.
Varian: Well. I'm smart. Even when I do alche-
Maggei: That's great. You so handsome and rich.
(Then Bridget push her sister away and dance with him.)
Bridget: Don't mind her. She's stupid. Not like you, so rich, handsome and a charming side.
Varian: Is that all?
Bridget: Other than your look and wealth? You can set my heart on fire.
(Varian cring at this, these girls are more rude than he thought. He walk away from Bridget.)
Varian: I don't think you girls aren't my type. I rather have a wife that listen to me and doesn't care for what I have.
(He started to walk away to find a new partner. Paula motion the girls to not let him out their sight. The sisters run to him, jumped and caught his legs.)
Maggie: Don't go!
Bridget: We'll listen! We promise!
Varian: Even when I tell you about alchem-
Maggie: Whatever this alchemy-crap is.
(And that made him mad. He try to break free of them, but they won't let him go. It wasn't till Judy came in the ballroom and walk down on the stairs. Varian look at her diraction and felt his heart throbbing. Judy stop by the foot, looking nervous. Varian stare at her with a blushing face. He kick Maggie and Bridget by the face and walk to Judy.)
Maggie: Ouchy!
Bridget: Why he do that?!
(Varian kept his eyes on Judy as she look around the castle in awed. She felt a tap on her shoulder, turn and see Varian.)
Judy: Oh, can I help you with something?
Varian: You can, by having this dance with me.
(Judy let out a blush when he extant his hand to her. She took it and let him lead her to the dance floor. Guests saw them and move a path for them. Music filled the room, the two dance. Judy look very nervous, looking down. Varian never let his eyes out her sight. He press his forehead against hers and push them up so he can stare in her eyes, she blush and her eyes sparkled. Quirin look throughout the room, then he spot Varian dancing with Judy, and he can see that his son had fallen in love with her and he smiled at this. After a while, they took a stroll on the castle garden. His hands on hers. It was a magical night and it was beautiful. Varian caught sight of a red rose, pluck it out and put in behind Judy's ears. She blush of this.)
Varian: So, can you tell me about yourself?
Judy: Oh. Well, I have a singing voice, my father said I got it from my mother. I love to read books about adventure and even about romance too.
Varian: Wow, interesting. I like alchemy.
Judy: Oh, how wonderful.
Varian: You don't mind it?
Judy: Not at all. I think it's pretty cool.
(Varain smile, finally someone who can think like him. They stopped by a fountain. He stare in her eyes, filled with love. Judy smiled to him. They lean in. Right before they can get close, the clock chimed. Both hands are on twelve. Judy back away.)
Varian: What's wrong?
Judy: It's midnight. I have to go.
Varian: Go? Right now? But I never got your name, and I want to know more about you.
Judy: I'm sorry. But I have to go. Good bye!
(She turn away and run off. Varian run after her, but he get blocked by all the ladies.)
Varian: Eron! Don't let her get away!
Eron: Yes your highness! Guards, after that girl!
(Guards of the castle chase after Judy. Judy run down the stairs, but she tripped, causing one of her slipper to slip off. She turn to get it back, but there was no time to. So she kept running till she reach her carriage. The carriage ride past the gates and head back home. Then the magic fade away and turn everything back to normal. Judy let out a sigh.)
Judy: Sweet dreams my prince.
(She took out the Rose still in her hair and look at it. She heard Pascal squeaking to him, look to see she still have the other pair of her slipper. Back at the castle, Varian hold the slipper while pacing.)
Eron: Your highness, please rest.
Varian: Rest? No, I won't rest till I find her.
Eron: How? There's a kingdom full of girls. And you don't know who she is.
Varian: But I have something of hers. (Show the slipper) Take note Eron. Whoever fit the slipper, will become my bride and the kingdom's new queen.
Eron: Right away your highness.
(The next morning, Varian and Eron spend all day putting the slipper on any women, but the slipper will only fit on Judy only. At Judy's, she is cleaning the dishes when she heard the sisters sequel. She stopped her work, walk to away to check what's going on. Only for Paual to lock the door to the kitchen. Judy beign to panic, pouring on the door. Rudiger, Odette, Pascal and Max become mad of this and make plan to get Varian to come to the kitchen and free Judy. Eron try the slipper on Maggie, but Maggie feet is too big.)
Maggie: it's my slipper, I know it is!
Varian: Yeah, don't think so. Next.
(Maggie cry silently and run t other room crying. Bridget try on, but it's too wide.)
Bridget: See? It's mine.
Varian: Yeah, nice try.
Bridget: How dare you be rude.
Varian: You wanna face my wrath?
Bridget: (scared) No..
(In a flash, he gra the slipper off her feet. Then Bridget up to her room, crying. Varian turn to Paula.)
Varian: Is there any other ladies in this house?
Paula: No, your highness.
(Varia sighed. It seems he'll never see his dream girl. But Rudiger grab the slipper with his teeth and ran outside. Varian chase after him. Rudiger run to the back side of the house. Odette and Pascal open the gate door for Varian to get in. Max neigh to him and pointed inside. Rudiger run through the window as Judy sat on her bed crying. He dropped the slipper on her lap, stopping her cry.)
Judy: Wha? (Pick up the slipper) Where did you get this?
(The door open and Varian stand wher he stood. Judy rise up from her bed and stare at him. He stare at her, like the night they met. His heart throb against his chest as he apposh her.)
Judy: Can I help you with something sire?
Varian: You can, by trying this slipper on.
(She give him the slipper, she slid her foot on, it slid easily making it a perfect fit. Rudiger pull out the other slipper, she slid it on. The perfect match, Rudiger even put the Rose Varian gave her back on her hair. Varain stare at her.)
Varian: So, can you tell me about yourself?
Judy: Well, my name is Judy Pot. I am a servant maid to my family and daughter of Stuart Pot.
Varian: Hmm. I think we can change that.
(He lean in to kiss her, as she did she. But the door open slam, by the doorway is Paula and she is very mad.)
Paula: I won't let her do this! You will marry one of my daughters!
Varian: They don't appreciate my love for alchemy and won't listen to me. Not like Judy does, she understand me.
(Judy smile at him, blush on her face. Paula face is red and mad. She walk to Judy and about to slap her, but instead she slap Varian who move Judy out of the way. Paula gasp in honor for what she done.)
Paula: Your highness! I didn't mean-
Eron: Madame, I will have to report to the king of your crime against the prince.
Paula: But I..He..I..
(Paula let out a loud wail. The animals cheer of this. Varian turn to Judy, then they kissed. After that, they wed and become the new king a queen. And of course, they live happily ever after. Except for Paula, Maggie and Bridget, they are stuck in prison by treason against the crown prince.)
