Molly was, yet again, busy cleaning the house that had once felt like she was scrubbing the floors, again, her family had gone out to town. She thought she was finally done then she saw her Toby . Toby was her cat and she knew that Toby would never purposefully make Molly's life any harder . But Molly could see the mud on hIs paws. She ran as fast as she could to stop Toby from making the floor dirty, Molly nearly slipped , but did manage to stop the floor from being messed.

She picked up Toby and carried him to the kitchen. She placed him on his blanket by the fire. He settled down almost immediately.

Then she heard her family and ran up to meet them.

"Can you believe it?"

"They say the Prince holds one of his balls every year"

"And this year we'll be there to see it in person"

"Did you have fun in town?" Molly asked politely.

"Oh yes, there is to be a ball". Anthea said.

"Don't waste your breathe telling her my dear"

"They say the Prince wants to find a bride , he may find a bride at the ball" Molly's stepmother decided to say.

"I wish that he'd propose to me" Irene said in a slight daze.

"Just leave the hair and clothes to me" Molly's stepmother said. "Oh, Molly, we're running out of wood for the fires , go into the woods and get some twigs"

"Of course" was all Molly said.

"Just think I have 2 daughters and there are 2 prince's, think of my chances. "

Later that evening Molly was on her way to breed after a long day.

"Molly, come here" Anthea said quietly, but loud enough to get her attention. Molly groaned, she thought she was done for the day, but she was also surprised Anthea was her favourite step sister, so much so they forgot the step and thought of each other as sisters.

"I know the others aren't going to tell you , so I will"

"Tell me what?" Molly's curiosity peaked.

"About the ball, all eligible maidens are invited that includes you."

"No one is going to let me go"

"You could sneak out, anyway and what I really want to know is what happened today in the woods, you were actually smiling webcam you came back"

"I smile am the time " Molly quickly defended.

"It doesn't often reach your eyes"

"Well..."

"Well?" Anthea pushed.

"I was singing and humming to my self, when a man joined in."

"A man you say? Well what was he like?"

"I don't know, he was tall with dark curly hair, he reminded me of someone."

"You were happy because you sang a song with a man in the woods"

"When you put it like that..."

"You little hussy" Anthea joked , the pair laughed and eventually both fell asleep.
