[Night]

Cinderella's room is a gloomy and dungeon like atmosphere. It has a cold feeling to it and has a small shelf and a skinny bed in a corner under the light coming out of the window. A low bar floats across from one side of the room to another.

{Jacques, Octavius and Bruno fly through the window and land on the bar in Cinderella's room}

Jacques

I can't believe it worked, our little girl is growing up, and she is so close.

Octavius

Duh, duh yeah. But does she know that we used it on, you know the princess?

Bruno

Yeah Jacques, she just does what you say and trusts you with it, she doesn't actually ask questions. And I don't think-

Jacques

Bruno shut-up. It's fine; Octavius is fine with it, so you should be too.

{Octavius scratches his beak}

Octavius

Duh, duh, I never said I was okay with it. Cinderella should know what you're using her hands for.

Bruno

I agree Jacques, Octavius has a point. From now on we should let Cinderella in on what she's doing, it isn't fair; taking advantage of her trust for us like this.

{Jacques leans in between Octavius and Bruno}

Jacques

(Laughs)

Why you little shi-

{Cinderella enters the room}

Octavius

Cinderella! Duh, duh you're back early. Did your sisters not have a big appetite?

Cinderella

No I guess not, they all decided to feed on gossip and sex before going to bed tonight. Tremaine is going out soon to sleep with God knows what again.

Jacques

The whore! And to think your father married such a foul thing.

{Bruno hit Jacques in stomach and Jacques makes a quiet gag}

{Cinderella walks over to the window and pouts silently}

Bruno

Your father was a good man Cinderella. He didn't know what he was getting himself into; Tremaine is a professional in deceiving others. She's a wicked women, but your father left you here to be great and-

{Jacques whispers to Octavius and they fly beside Cinderella}

Jacques

Seek revenge, power. Just think, you could have it all baby!

{Tune based off of "Be prepared" by Walt Disney's Lion king}

~ I know that your father is gone now ~

And that you're stuck with a whore at your side.

But as hurt as you are pay attention

My plans are beginning to rise -

Cinderella

Jacques, why are you singing?

{Jacques looks at Cinderella confusedly}

Jacques

Oh, you guys didn't feel a moment, a singing sensation just felt necessary to me, but we can just talk if no one else is feeling the moment.

Cinderella

Speaking is fine.

Jacques

Oh, okay, uh where was I?

Cinderella

Your plans are beginning to rise.

Jacques

Oh! Right, well since we aren't singing, I'll cut down to the chase.

Octavius

Oh about how we-

{Jacques covers Octavius' mouth}

Jacques

We killed the Princess for ya, Cinderella we-

{Cinderella looks between Jacques, Bruno and Octavius in disbelief}

Cinderella

You all did what?

{Bruno flies over beside Octavius and leans forward to look at Jacques}

Bruno

I told you we should have told her what we were up to, but no you just couldn't listen for once could you?

Jacques

Oh shut-up Bruno, this was for her own good and you know it, she would have never let us do it if we let her in before it was done.

{Cinderella raises her hands between them and gestures them to be quiet}

Cinderella

Stop! Both of you please tell me that this isn't true.

{Cinderella looks at Octavius and Octavius slowly nods apologetically}

Cinderella

No, no, no. This can't be happening.

{Cinderella begins pacing in the center of her room.}

Cinderella

The Princess is dead and I had everything to do with it; sort of.

{Jacques, Bruno and Octavius have a private discussion between themselves}

Jacques

Look I've already gone this far for her, there is no way we can let her back out now, we've got to calm her down and let her see the value of this opportunity.

Bruno

No, we can't force her to do something she doesn't want to do; we are pushing her to close to the edge.

Jacques

Then we'll give her wings smart one.

Bruno

(Hisses at Jacques)

Anyone can have wings, but not everyone knows how to fly.

Jacques

Okay, enough with the metaphors. Let's take a vote on it.

Bruno

Fine, Octavius, pay attention bud.

Octavius

Duh, duh, okay.

Jacques

Okay, all in favour of convincing Cinderella to move on with the plan say I, I.

{Jacques raises his wing and Octavius jumps a little}

Octavius

Ooh, I, I, I, I, I!

(Laughs)

{Jacques and Bruno exchange glances}

Jacques

And all in favour of singing kumbaya around a fire until Cinderella makes her decision on her own, say I.

{Jacques wickedly looks at Bruno}

Octavius

Ooh, I, I, I, I, I!

(Laughs)

Jacques

(Sighs)

This isn't going to get us anywhere, why don't we make a . . . compromise; yeah that's it, a compromise. I tell her the value in everything and the minute she says no or that she has to think about it, I'll leave her and let her make her decision on her own,

(Mumbles quietly to himself)

Unless she asks me for my opinion based on what I would do.

(Turns back to Bruno and Octavius)

Agreed?

Bruno

(Shrugs, unwillingly and rolls his eyes)

Agreed.

{Jacques, Bruno and Octavius fly onto the bar in the center of the room}

Jacques

Look at you: all worn out, you're scared I know, but it'll be okay.

Cinderella

You murdered our princess; I have a right to panic Jacques.

Jacques

No, no, no, you're looking at this all wrong,

(Flies around Cinderella)

We taught you well, you have you sisters under your thumb when Tremaine isn't home, they're so scared that they refuse to tell her.

(Sits on her shoulder, or leans against leg)

Now imagine that they were an entire kingdom, bowing down at your feet. You would no longer be told anything about equality, because you would be on top. To dream of such is one thing, but to accomplish it is another, and my darling not many people can tell their loved ones - you're half way there.

Cinderella

Really?

Bruno

Now take your time and think about it first lovey.

{Cinderella starts day dreaming and twirls and dances around the room gracefully}

Cinderella

But I have, I want more oh so much more. The walls, the paintings, the food, the servants, ha, I want it all, Bruno.

Jacques

Then its official, our top priority is to get our loved Cinderella on that throne; for life.

{Jacques chuckles wickedly and Bruno shakes his head, Cinderella stares out the window}

Octavius

Yay Cinderelly gets to wear a crown.

(laughs stupidly)
