Here's the next chapter to the story! :D Enjoy!

"I feel dizzy," Yui said seconds after she woke up and sat up on her bed. She slept throughout the night without any trouble, but strangely she still felt sick. I thought I was better last night. It didn't make sense to her on how she could feel so much better the night before but then feel twice as bad the next day.

"Good morning Yui!" Melissa said as he made his way towards her. "How are you feeling? Are you ready to get back to class?"

"Umm, yes, I feel so much better!" Yui knew she shouldn't lie, but she didn't want anyone to worry about her any more. She also didn't want to be the reason for the play being cancelled; she was the princess after all. Apollon was going to play the prince just like the last time, but this time everything would turn out the way it should, Thoth made sure of it. Of course that meant that Apollon would place the glass slipper on her foot, and then kiss her at the end of the play.

How exactly would that kiss feel? The thought of it made Yui blush. It could be the doorway to something bigger between her and Apollon. That's why she needed to act like she was better. That play and that kiss would determine it for her on whether or not she should take the chance to be with a Greek God.

"Hey Yui, are you just going to stare into space or are you going to get ready?" Melissa asked as he sat on the floor.

"O-Oh yes of course! Sorry, I started thinking about something," Yui replied with a nervous smile.

"Could it be that you were thinking about Apollon?"

"EH?!"

"Gotcha! Well it is kind of obvious by the way your face went all red and everything."

"There's no use in lying to you is there? Eventually you can tell what I'm thinking just by looking at me."

"I'm glad you understand. Now hurry and get ready! You know how Thoth is if you're even one second late."

With that being said Yui quickly dashed out of bed and made her way to the bathroom. Even with the throbbing pain in her head, she had to put up a smile and make sure that she didn't do anything that would let any of the others suspect that she was still sick. It was going to be a long day.

Having to force herself to stay focused on the lecture and take notes wasn't easy. Yui felt like she would collapse at any moment. She was happy that everyone believed that she was feeling better. Although having to show them that she was feeling better was the most difficult. There were a few instances when she felt Apollon's eyes glance her way. His green eyes were always so gentle; Yui would lose herself at times when she had to look at them.

It was a nice feeling knowing that he genuinely worried about her, but at the same time it made her uneasy since she was still fighting with her inner emotions. Shaking away all of the thoughts that were in her head, Yui tried her hardest to keep focused. Thoth was still going on about the lesson for the day and everyone seemed to be listening in their own way.

The heavy feeling of her burning head was torturing. If she could just lie her head down, she'd be able to focus more, but she knew that she couldn't do that. How many more minutes until class was over? Yui kept wondering. Before long Thoth closed his book and told everyone that class was done for the day. He told them to make sure they were ready for the play and then walked off.

Yui sighed in relief, thankful that the class was finally over. It didn't take long for Balder and Apollon to make their way to her side.

"Are you ready for the play, Fairy?" Apollon asked with his usual cheerful smile.

"Yes, it's going to be a lot of fun just like the last one," Yui responded with an equally bright smile.

"Are you okay with Apollon being the prince? If not, I can switch roles with him," Balder said while getting Yui's attention away from Apollon.

"Yes, I'm fine with it. We did draw sticks again so it was fair." Yui was inwardly excited for the play that would take place later on in the day.

"It's not fair that I have to be the step-sister again!" Takeru complained.

"You make a very beautiful step-sister. It's as if you were born for that role," Loki said with a mischievous grin.

"It's a bit interesting how we all got the same roles again," Tsukito said.

"It was probably destiny," Apollon nearly yelled.

"Don't get too excited Apollon. Just keep hoping that everything will turn out better this time," Hades said to his over-enthusiastic nephew.

"Umm, everyone, I think I'm going to go back to my room. I'll meet you all before the play." Yui really needed to get some rest. Her whole body was starting to shake and it wasn't helping her already throbbing headache.

"Do you want me to walk with you?" Apollon offered.

"I'll be okay. Thanks for the offer. Bye everyone!" Yui said as she stood up and started to make her way out of the classroom. Truthfully she would have loved walking to her room with Apollon by her side, but she couldn't take the risk of him finding out that she was sick again. A nice nap should help me feel better. In a few hours she would be playing Cinderella and in a few hours she would be kissed by her prince charming.

"Yui, are you sure you're okay?" Melissa asked in concern. Yui was already dressed up as Cinderella but it had taken her a while to put on the costume.

"I'm fine. My head just started hurting a little." In reality Yui was starting to burn up even more and her headache was as bad as it was before her nap. Her body was still shaking but she forced herself to get through all of it. She couldn't disappoint the others.

"Well Melissa I'm off. Wish me luck!"

"You'll do great!" Melissa responded cheerfully. Yui smiled back and began to make her way out of her room. It was close to show time. She just hoped everything would go well.

The auditorium was filled with awaiting students. Everyone was looking forward to the play again. The curtain began to rise as Yui and Dionysus were the only ones on stage. Yui was holding onto Dionysus hand while he lied in bed looking at her.

"Father, please don't leave me!" Yui screamed.

"I'm sorry my daughter. Be strong…cough cough…dead." Yui began to weep over her dead father.

"Father!"

"Cinderella was now left all alone with her step-sisters. After her father's death she was treated as a servant in the house." Thoth narrated. Loki moved the bed away as Yui was the only one on stage now. She moved towards the center of the stage, picked up a broom and began to clean the floor. Her step-sisters Takeru and Tsukito made their way onto the stage.

"Make sure to leave this place spotless. We'll be going to the Prince's ball," Takeru said.

"Yes sister. I'll have everything clean by the time you two arrive."

"Good. We'll be off," said Tsukito as he and Takeru turned around and started to walk away.

Yui sighed. "It would be nice to go to the ball…" At that moment Thor came on stage dressed as an overly grown mouse.

"Squeak…" he said.

"It's okay. I know I shouldn't put my hopes up on such a dream."

"But why not?"

Yui looked up from Thor and saw Balder, dressed as the fairy Godmother. He walked towards her. "Who are you?" she asked.

"I'm your fairy Godmother. I'm here to make your wish come true."

"Can you really?" Yui asked with a bit of doubt.

"Of course. With the wave of my magic wand, you'll be ready to go to the ball." Balder waved his magic wand over Yui as the lights then went out. A few seconds later they came back on. Yui was now wearing a beautiful pink gown, glass slippers and a tiara.

"Wow!" Yui said as she looked at her new clothes.

"You look lovely my dear. Now hurry! The carriage awaits you outside. But remember, you must get back by midnight. That's when the magic will disappear."

"Yes! Thank you fairy Godmother!" Yui quickly turned around and ran off stage. The lights went out once again until they came back on to reveal Apollon dressed as the prince and Hades dressed as his father. Takeru and Tsukito tried to get Apollon's attention but Apollon just smiled before looking away. At that moment Yui came on stage while looking around in awe. Apollon's eyes went wide at the sight of her. He quickly made his way up to her.

"Hello," he said.

"H-Hello," Yui responded shyly.

"May I have this dance?"

"Y-Yes, your majesty."

Grabbing onto Apollon's hand, the two walked over to the center of the stage and started dancing. The two step-sisters looked on with envy.

"Time went by as the two continued to dance. Before Cinderella knew it, it was already midnight." Thoth narrated.

"Oh no! I have to go!" Yui said as she let go of the prince and began to run away.

"Wait!" Apollon yelled. Yui's glass slipper slipped off of her foot before she ran off stage. Apollon reached down to grab it.

"I'll find you. The woman who fits this glass slipper will be my wife."

"Are you insane my son? It will take a long time to find such a woman!" Hades yelled.

"It's a challenge I'm willing to take father. I will find her."

The lights went out again before coming back on to show Yui, her step-sisters, Loki and the Prince all together. "I'd like to put this glass slipper on all the women present," Apollon said.

"Please let me go first!" Takeru said as he moved closer to Apollon. Apollon tried to put the slipper on Takeru's foot but it wouldn't fit.

"It's not a match. Please let the other woman come forth," Loki said from behind Apollon.

Tsukito made his way to Apollon and offered his foot. Once again the slipper didn't fit. "No match. Let the last woman come forth," Loki said as he looked at Yui. Yui nodded as she hesitantly made her way up to Apollon.

"Your right foot please," Apollon said. Yui took off her shoe and offered her foot. Apollon gently put on the glass slipper.

"A perfect fit…" Apollon said with a smile. He stood up and grabbed onto Yui's hands. "Will you marry me?"

"Yes," Yui replied with a smile while her step-sisters started to sob in the background. The lights went out again as Thoth continued the narration.

"And so the Prince and Cinderella were to be wed in front of all the people in the kingdom…" The lights came back on to show Yui wearing a white wedding dress. Both she and Apollon were standing before each other with smiles on their faces. Hades, Loki, Balder, Takeru, Tsukito and Thor looked on happily.

"You and I will live happily ever after my Cinderella," Apollon said. He slowly began to lean down to Yui.

This is it…Yui thought as she closed her eyes and waited for the kiss. As Apollon's lips approached hers, Yui suddenly collapsed and passed out in his arms.

"Yui!" Balder yelled. Everyone ran over to Yui and Apollon.

"Fairy! Fairy!"

The lights went out one final time.
