Chapter 5

Renaldo made his way down the stairs in dark a red suit with his daughters right behind him in the same colored dresses that they normally wore around the house as he turned to them and said, "Now remember when you're both introduced to the prince be sure to-"

He was cut off however, when the three heard Haru's voice from upstairs as she begged, "Wait! Please wait for me!" Hearing this caused the large half cat and his two daughters to turn around only to see Haru slightly running down the stairway in a green dress. And as she grabbed the ends of it and did a double take she added, "So what do you think? Do I look like I'm ready to go to the ball now?"

Louise and Hiromi right away began to panic as they both pulled on their father's suit coat and begged him not to let her go with them. The white furred half cat just angrily replied with, "That's enough!" His daughters then let out light gasps as they let go of his suit and stared at him in complete shock. After he had calmed down a little bit though Renaldo added, "Now I don't know if you two remember this or not, but Haru and I made a deal. Didn't we, Chicky?" To this the brunette nodded as he then approached her as he ended with, "And I don't plan on going back on my word."

From above the living room though Baron's expression darken as he watched the large half cat approach the young woman. He was surprised Haru's stepfather put a hand under his chin and said, "Hmmm, you know that's pretty clever of you, Haru." The Cat Creation then watched as Renaldo put a claw underneath the necklace and went on with, "These beads are a completely different color and yet they go very well with the dress." He then let the necklace fall back into place as he turned and ended with, "What do you think, Louise?"

The orange and cream furred half cat watched as Haru's half cat stepsister just crossed her arms and coldly shot back, "Well, I don't really care what she-" She then gasped when she turned and saw that the brunette was wearing the necklace of beads that she had gotten rid of earlier as she marched up to her and harshly added, "Why you little thief those are my beads!" she then ripped the necklace off of her neck causing it to break.

Baron's eyes widen as Hiromi was the next one to rip something off of Haru's dress which turned out to be a one of the green bows which were formerly her sash that she had thrown onto the ground as she exclaimed, "Hey, and that's my sash!"

And as the two continued to tear Haru's dress apart the brunette begged and pleaded for the two to stop what they were doing. Renaldo just stood there and let this scene take place for a few more minutes before he said, "Alright I think you two have done enough." Both of his daughters then walked away from Haru and left the estate as he added, "I don't need you two to be all stressed out when you meet Prince Lune." He then looked over at his stepdaughter who was now standing in a completely destroyed dress as he slowly shut the door and ended with, "Goodnight, Chicky."

Once the door was completely shut though Baron watched as the brunette started to cry as she ran through two doors in the house before she reached the backyard as she knelt down in front of a bench and completely broke down while she buried her face into her arms. As she continued to cry though she hadn't noticed that both Baron and Toto now were a feet away from her with sad expressions on their faces as the young woman said, "Mother, I know that you had always told me to believe in myself just like what Father would say." She then shook her head from one side to another as she added, "But I just don't think that I can do that anymore."

After the brunette had said this though both Creations noticed that some sort of magic was in the air as Baron asked out loud, "What is this about?"

They then noticed that the magic was now forming an outlaw of someone as there was a faint bright light. Once it cleared though it revealed a white furred half cat with blue eyes who was wearing a pink dress along with a pink bow around her neck as Haru continued to cry while she let out, "There nothing left for me here anymore...nothing."

The half cat just gave the girl a soft smile as she placed a furry hand onto her head and gently rubbed it as she replied, "Are you for sure that there is nothing left for you here, Haru?" Hearing this caused the brunette to let out a gasp in surprise as she raised her head up and looked at the female half cat as she just let out a light laugh and helped the young woman onto her feet as she added, "Come now dry your tears. Why you can't go to ball like that?"

"The ball? But I-" Haru said, before she stopped herself from going any further.

Again the blue eyed half cat just smiled as she reassured her with, "Don't worry I'll take of everything for you, Haru."

The hazel eyed young woman then let out another gasp when she saw the half cat pull out a wand from what seemed like thin air as she then gave it a quick thought as she asked, "Wait if you can do that...then you must be my Fairy Godmother?"

The pink dress wearing half cat just nodded as she replied with, "Well, you could call me that." She then crossed her arms and added, "Alright now the first we'll need is a um, a pumpkin."

"A pumpkin?" Haru asked, as she looked over at the garden and saw where the half cat was looking at.

The white furred half cat just nodded as she then pointed her wand forward and gave it a little tap. Haru's eyes widen when she saw the pumpkin come out of the ground and move on it's own thanks to it's vines that were under it. She then continued to watch as another wave of magic hit the moving plant as it then stopped and had spread it's vine's outward until they formed has to what she assumed to be wheels. The half cat then waved her wand a few times as the plant then grow in size and changed it's color until it'll look just like a carriage.

After that was done Haru walked around it as she commented with, "Hey, that's pretty cool."

The blued eyed half cat then smiled at her and then waved her wand again only this time it was pointing at the barn. And within seconds four horses could be seen floating out of their stalls. They then were placed gently down in front of the pumpkin shaped carriage and were strapped to the outer rims of it ready to go. Haru then noticed that the half cat was now looking around as she asked, "Is something wrong?"

The pink dress wearing half cat just smiled and shook her head as she answered back with, "No, nothing's wrong I was just wondering who could be a good driver for the carriage." She then spotted Toto as she ended with, "And I think I just found your driver, Haru."

And even before the Bird Creation could protest in anyway he was hit with the female half cat's magic wand as he then floated in the air towards the carriage. Haru's eyes widen though when she saw that he was now changing from a crow into a black furred half cat. And that he was wearing the same kind of suit as Baron normally did. Once he was placed at his post though the now black furred half cat just scoffed as he complained with, "And right when I had gotten use to being a bird now I'm back to normal."

He then gasped when he had realized what he had said as he looked over at Haru, who was now giving a confused look while Baron gave his friend a slightly angered look as he just let out a nervous laugh and said, "Don't worry about me Haru, I'm just ranting to myself over here."

The brunette was going to ask Toto some question, but decided that, that could wait as she then noticed that the female half cat had just waved her wand again. Only this time it was Baron who had been hit with the magic as she then watched as he grow in size until he was the same height as Toto was as he removed his top hat and bowed to her said, "Toto and I are ready for whenever you wish to leave, Haru."

Haru could not believe that all of this was happening, but before she became too excited she turned to the pink bow wearing half cat and asked, "Wait what about my dress?"

Again she only received a smile as the female half cat replied with, "Don't worry Haru, I was going to take care of that problem right now."

She then pointed her wand slightly downward and started to spin it around. And while she did this Haru's tore dress was surround by magic as she looked around wondering what was going to happen. Once the blue eyed half cat had lifted her wand up into the air she gave it one final tap as the magic around the brunette burst and after it had faded away Haru was revealed to now be wearing a red gown with white gloves that almost reached her elbows. She then walked towards the fountain that was there and noticed that her hair was up in a high ponytail thanks to a hair tie of the color as she exclaimed, "Wow I look amazing!" She then noticed that her shoes were red colored glass slippers as she added, "Hey, I even have glass slippers. I like the color of them."

"I'm glad that you like the dress Haru, but you must understand that since this just magic that it will go away." The white furred half cat as she approached the young woman. She then placed a hand on her shoulder as she went on with, "And by the stroke of midnight everything will be back to what it once was."

Haru nodded in understanding as she replied, "Don't worry I'll do my best to back here before midnight." She then turned to face the half cat completely as she continued with, "It's just that this is like a dream come true for me."

"Haru..." The pink dressed half cat replied, as she gently touched her face. She then removed her hand though when she added, "Oh no, I hadn't realized that it was this late. You must hurry Haru, if you want to be able to dance with the prince."

Haru quickly nodded as she walked towards the carriage. But when she was about to walk up the small stairway she felt Baron take her hand into his as he helped her inside the carriage. She thanked him as Toto used the ranges to make the horses gallop at a somewhat slow pace as Baron jumped onto the back of it and held on. Haru meanwhile waved goodbye from the opened shaped window part of the carriage and as the female half cat waved back she whispered, "Goodbye Haru, and good luck."

She then disappeared without a trace thanks to her magic.
