Cinderella

Chapter 4

"So remember, we have to leave before midnight," said Sarena getting out of Casey's car. "Got it, before midnight, I'll remember it," said Casey walking alongside her to the castle. "Thanks for agreeing to be my escort Case," she said nervously "I hope aunt Karai and Mitzi don't notice me." "Girl, I couldn't recognize you at first, there's no way they'll know it's you," Casey said encouragingly. "Casey, over here," a voice whispered. It was Casey's cousin Sid in the doorway of the servants' passage. "Thanks for letting us go in this way Sid," Sarena said. "No prob Sarena, I owed Casey anyway," Sid said leading them to the ballroom. "Here we are, sure you don't wanna turn back?" asked Casey seeing her nervousness. "No, I came here to dance, and that's what I'll do, I've come too far to turn around now," she said fighting down her fear. With that she and Casey thanked Sid and slipped unnoticed into the ballroom.

Or, so they thought.

"Black hair, green dress, and sliver pentagram-like pendent, that's her all right," said Don peering out his mini binoculars. "Hey Leo, I think I found her," he said pointing her out to his oldest brother. Leo looked down and saw Sarena as Casey went to find April. "That's her, Raph look," Leo said. "What?" asked Raph annoyed. He looked down and did a double take. He couldn't believe it, Leo's dream girl was real? "Hey Raph," whispered Mikey "She's here, told ya, looks like you owe us a dollar."

Sarena waited patiently near the wall waiting for Casey to come back, when she felt a tap on her shoulder. 'This is it,' she thought 'I'm done for.' She turned around slowly and saw that it wasn't her aunt as she had expected. As much of a relief that was, It wasn't Casey or April ether. It was a young man, about her age, that she had never met before, though he did look oddly familiar. "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you,' Leo said politely. "It's okay, It's just that you look somewhat familiar," said Sarena 'Please let him be the one.' "So do you, like we've met before.." Leo started. "Once upon a dream," they said at the same time. "Would you like to dance?" he asked holding out his hand. "Sure," Sarena said blushing. She took his hand and they started to dance as Leo started sing to imaginary music.

I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream,

I know you, The gleam in your eyes is so familiar a gleam.

"Don, commence the finale of stage two," April whispered behind the curtain. Don nodded and whispered to the music conductor to play the song they had rehearsed as the spotlight shown on Sarena and Leo.

And I know it's true, that visions are seldom more than they seem,

But if I know you, I know what you'll do,

You'll love me at once, the way you did once upon a dream.

"Mother, who's that girl with the prince?" asked Mitzi as the dance ended. "I don't know sweety, but I'm going to find out," said Karai coldly.

"I never thought I'd say this, but Leo's dream girl's kind of cute," said Raph now accepting the fact that the girl was real. "Totally cute, I wonder if she has sisters," said Mikey. "She doesn't, I know her cousin, she's an only child," said Don. "Oh, too bad, how come Leo gets the cute ones?" asked Mikey. Raph answer by smacking him upside the head. "Phase two, complete," whispered Don.

"How much time does she have left April?" asked Casey as they watched Leo introduce Sarena to his brothers, who apparently, took to her immediately. "Almost an hour, too bad the ball didn't start sooner," she said watching Leo take Sarena to the garden. "Ain't that the truth? wanna dance?" he asked. "Okay, but keep an eye on the time and Sarena," she said blushing. The next song came on, while it was romantic, they were thankfully able to remember to check on both Sarena though the window and the clock.

"Okay so, You are from this kingdom, right?" asked Leo. "Yep, lived here all my life," said Sarena as they walked through the garden. "Good, then at least I have the option of seeing you again," said Leo relived. He turned to look at Sarena. "How could I not,see your beautiful face again?" Leo asked. Sarena blushed again "You're so cute when you blush," he said. One second they were looking into each others eyes, and the next, they kissed. When they pulled away, Sarena accidentally glanced at the clock and saw it was one minute to midnight. "I'm sorry, I, I have to go," she said quickly pushing Leo away gently and running inside.

"Casey!" said April suddenly. Casey looked and saw midnight was only 30 seconds away. "Got it, see ya later," he said quickly running off the dance floor to find Sarena. When he found her, she was running back up the garden stairs to the castle. "Come on, Rena," he whispered. Suddenly Sarena tripped and one of her glass slippers fell off and landed on the step. Having no time to pick it up, she and Casey ran through the servants' passage. By the time Leo had picked up the slipper and reached the top of the stairs, the clock stroke midnight, and the servants' door was already closed.

"That was too close," said Sarena as her dress faded to her rags and her hair went back to its ponytail. "Don't tell me you didn't have fun?" asked Casey. "I had fun alright," said Sarena blushing. She touched her lips softly and thought 'a loooot of fun.' As Casey drove away after dropping her off she quickly ran upstairs to change into her nightgown and put her hair into pigtails. After finishing this she noticed that one of the glass slippers was still on her foot. When she removed it there was a note inside that said "a gift, from Starlee." "Thanks Starlee," she said placing the slipper in her drawer "Thanks for everything." With that, she slipped into bed dreamt of what had happened that night.

When she and her daughters got home, Karai checked on Sarena to make sure she was asleep. When she saw she was, she couldn't help but wonder 'Could Sarenaty have been the girl at the ball?'

worried Sarena, are you okay?

sparkley eyes, whispers hello hot ninja turtle

sweatdrops Well, I for one am happy about this chapter I got some LeoxSarena and some CaseyxApril

It was soo romantic, they kissed faints

sweatdrops I'd better get her out of here before her brothers show up. By the way, let me know if you want it to end with a normal Cinderella ending, or a tragic ending (like some one dies and they get reincarnated in another dimension) with an epilogue. Either way, It'll probably end up as an alternate ending, but let me know. I'll give you till, oh...say...2 weeks from now. I'll type out what I'm gonna put for the next chapter, but wait till you've decided the ending to finish and post it. drags Sarena away till she wakes up.
