Anastasia walked with the shell in her hands as she practiced saying 'I do'. This was starting to annoy Drell they were soon outside and where Anastasia saw two butterflies together and where this made her giggle a bit.
"I think I'm gonna be sick..." Drell groaned.
"How Hilda fell for you, I'll never know." Cherry rolled her eyes.
Anastasia soon looked outside of the scenery.
"Now there is finally someone who'll love me, he'll show me a world that I never knew.~" Anastasia sang with a smile. "With two simple words, all my dreams will come true. I do. I do!~"
"Oh, great, now she's singing..." Drell complained.
Cherry grunted and struggled before taking off her necklace as she felt a small twinge.
"No, wait, don't!" Drell tried to stop her.
"What?" Cherry asked.
"Keep that on!" Drell told her. "You'll forget everything!"
"It itches!" Cherry complained.
"Well, I don't care!" Drell replied. "Keep it on!"
"Can you at least make it less itchy?" Cherry asked.
"Fine!" Drell glared before using his magic to make her necklace less itchy.
"Thank you..." Cherry looked relieved. "I can never wear jewelry for a long time."
"Now you tell me." Drell rolled his eyes.
Meanwhile with Atticus, Cinderella, Jaq, and Gus...
"There's a glowing up by that door." Atticus pointed out just before them.
"Let's look through the key hole and see what's going on." Cinderella suggested.
Atticus nodded as they walked over to the doors to see what was going on. One thing for sure was that it was a lot of magic. Drizella was using the wand and was giving herself special clothes and hairstyles.
'That explains it.' Atticus thought to himself unimpressed with how Drizella was using the wand.
"Drizella, stop that this instant!" Lady Tremaine came to her daughter before she snatched the wand and zapped her back into her normal dress and made her hair rather frizzy and spiky. "This wand is not a toy!" She soon put the wand in the dress drawer and locked it and put the key in her pocket.
"It's in the dresser and the key's in her pocket..." Cinderella memorized.
Lady Tremaine began to brush Drizella's hair roughly. Atticus winced at that as it seemed quite excruciating.
"We've got to get in there." Cinderella said in determination.
"Cinderelly! Atty!" Jaq yelped.
"They'll see you." Gus added in fear.
"But we have to get the wand somehow." Atticus whispered.
"Too dangerous, we take care of it." Jaq decided, referring to Gus and himself.
"Alright." Atticus whispered before he heard Anastasia coming.
Cinderella and Atticus soon hid away with the mice behind a tarp as Anastasia sang to herself before going to where her mother and sister were.
"I haven't been this sick to my stomach about cheerful princess stuff since Wisteria became the Princess Promenade before you guys came along to Equestria." Drell shuddered in disgust of the old Equestria before the Mane Six and the others came along.
They soon came over to Jaq and Gus.
"Whatever you do, stay clear of Lucifer." Cinderella warned her mouse friends.
"Zug-Zug, no Lucifee!" Gus smiled.
"Okay, now we should turn him into a mouse." Drell told Cherry.
Jaq soon grabbed the back of Gus's shirt and pulled him.
"We?" Cherry asked the warlock. "Drell, I don't have magic like you and Atticus."
Drell gave her a deadpanned face before using his magic to turn Atticus into his mouse form. Cherry smiled sheepishly.
"You are just as useless as Applejack." Drell muttered.
"Alright, let's get in there and get that wand." Atticus said while Cinderella was surprised about Drell who was in his own mouse from had used magic.
Cherry felt nervous but she was going along too.
"We'll explain later," Drell chuckled sheepishly to Cinderella. "You look just like your mom."
"Man, Drell knows everybody." Atticus said to himself.
"What happened?" Lady Tremaine asked Anastasia. "What did The King say?"
Jaq helped Gus inside while Atticus helped Drell in.
"He's really very nice," Anastasia smiled. "He gave me his most prized possession." she then showed it to her mother.
"A seashell?" Lady Tremaine scoffed and rolled her eyes as she tied Drizella's bow on.
"It's a symbol of true love." Anastasia smiled.
Drizella yelped as her mother hurt her in the head again.
"Oh, please..." Lady Tremaine scoffed as she walked off.
"Hmph! How special." Drizella scoffed.
"He said that his heart-" Anastasia began as Cherry, Atticus, Jaq, and Gus then rushed off to get the key as Lady Tremaine walked off.
"What's love compared to the power we hold with the wand?" Lady Tremaine huffed. "You will learn that soon enough."
Lucifer was fast asleep in front of the fireplace.
"Mother, I-I want the prince to love me for me, I think he could." Anastasia said.
Lucifer soon turned in his sleep with a stretch and his tail landed on the mice.
Drizella laughed at this but then stopped. "Oh, you're serious."
"Well, the king likes me too," Anastasia defended. "He treated me like his own daughter."
"If only she knew the truth." Drell whispered.
"Maybe we shouldn't be doing this." Anastasia continued as Atticus helped Cherry up the fireplace pokers with Jaq and Gus as Lady Tremaine's key was very close to them now.
"Well, maybe I should have put on the slipper!" Drizella complained.
Lucifer soon woke up as his tail was on fire and he was sent flying in the room. Jaq soon grabbed the key before falling over, and where what the cat was doing was very entertaining for Atticus, Cherry, and Drell. Cinderella winced from the crashing as she watched from the outside.
Jaq and Gus urged Cherry, Atticus, and Drell to follow them once they got the key. They soon found a tea cup and decided to use that as their way of not being seen. They all hid underneath it and tried to escape with it. Anastasia soon hit Lucifer to make him stop acting crazy and the room was soon in a mess.
"You think Lucifer and Tom might be related?" Cherry joked with a smirk.
"No." Atticus shook his head.
Cherry then frowned as he killed her humor.
"Lucifer!" Lady Tremaine glared at her cat. "Someone fetch the housekeeper."
There was then a knock at the door as the mice tried to get out undetected.
"Housekeeping." Cinderella's voice squeaked from the other side of the door.
"Well you certainly came quickly." Lady Tremaine told her after answering the door.
"We're very good." Cinderella nodded as she tried to avoid eye contact as it would give her away.
"Clean this up," Lady Tremaine ordered. "My daughter needs her beauty sleep before tonight's wedding."
"Not sure if that's enough time." Drizella said.
Cinderella then took out a rag and went to get ready. The tea cup zipped into a table leg by accident and the key dropped out.
"Cherry, you klutz!" Drell hissed.
"Sorry." Cherry whispered.
Jaq tried to reach for the key and soon grabbed it underneath. Cinderella saw this and gently kicked the tea cup under the table.
"That was close." Atticus sighed.
After they left the tea cup, they snuck up to the dresser as Lady Tremaine observed her disguised step-daughter.
"Uh-oh..." Drell whispered.
Atticus and Jaq took the key and tried to unlock the dresser.
"There's a lot to do before the wedding," Lady Tremaine smirked as she walked over before taking off Cinderella's maid bonnet. "Isn't that right, Cinderella?"
Cinderella gasped to her step-mother in fear.
"I didn't know you worked here." Anastasia said to her step-sister while Drizella glared with her hands on her hips.
"Is she really that dumb?" Drell whispered to himself.
"Yes." Cherry and Atticus replied.
Jaq and Gus soon snuck out the wand while trying to be quiet and careful.
"You're far more persistent than I thought." Lady Tremaine smirked to her step-daughter.
"I won't let you get away with this." Cinderella glared at her step-mother.
"We already have." Lady Tremaine smirked.
"I don't think so," Cinderella smirked once she saw Drell, Atticus, Cherry, Jaq, and Gus had gotten the wand. "Guys!"
The others then nodded to her and ran with the wand.
"The wand!" Lady Tremaine called out.
Anastasia and Drizella screamed since there were mice loose in the room. Lucifer then chased after the mice.
"If only I had my super-strength, I could totally take down that fur ball!" Atticus glared.
"We're coming, Cinderelly!" Gus called out.
Cinderella shut the door after them which made Lucifer crash.
"I'm alright with that." Atticus smirked.
Cinderella threw off the apron and continued to run with the others after they turned back to normal.
"That servant girl is a thief!" Lady Tremaine pointed to Cinderella as the guards came over. "Get her and those orphans with her!"
The guards soon went after Cinderella, Atticus, and Cherry.
Lucifer soon caught up with Jaq and Gus and then began to chase after them.
"Dang it, I nearly forgot how long that spell lasts." Drell groaned.
"What are we gonna do?!" Cherry panicked.
Drell soon used his magic again and where he made sure this one would last for until the spell on Prince Charles would be lifted.
"Bibbiti-Bobbiti-Boo!" Jaq said which then made the wand zap Lucifer and he turned into a box at first.
"You turned him into a Jack-in-the-Box." Drell told the mice.
Cherry rolled her eyes slightly. "How original."
Lucifer soon hopped and chased after the mice still even as a Jack-in-the-Box.
"We're headed for the stairs! Yes!" Atticus cheered.
"I hate stairs." Cherry moaned.
The guards continued to chase Cinderella and cornered her. Drell, Atticus, Cherry, Jaq, and Gus all soon got on the banister and slid down it.
"Wheeee!" Cherry and Atticus cheered as their inner children popped out.
Lucifer went after them only to trip and stumble down the steps, and where this caused him to trip one of the guards. Cinderella then moved out of the way as the guards all fell down the stairs.
"You incompetent fools!" Lady Tremaine scowled.
Cinderella soon slid down the banister. Jaq and Gus zapped Lucifer with the wand again which made him smaller than they were.
"Aww..." Gus chuckled and pet the teeny tiny Lucifer only to be attacked.
Drell smirked as he stepped over Lucifer and was about to squash him like a bug. Lucifer soon started to attack all of them. They then got off of the tiny cat and he mewed in victory.
"Now what?" Cherry asked.
"Run, Cherry!" Jaq cried out as they couldn't avoid Lucifer since he was smaller than them now.
"Don't have to tell me twice." Cherry said.
"Let me see that..." Drell took the wand. "I really shouldn't use this since it's not mine, but whatever... Bibbiti-Bobbiti-BOO!" he then waved the wand and zapped Lucifer with it.
Lucifer soon grew in size and groaned as he was stuck in the mouse hole.
"Ha! Now you're stuck!" Drell smirked at Lucifer and which caused Atticus and Cherry to make faces at Lucifer.
Lucifer groaned and moved which made a chair fall at them. They then yelped and ran off while the cat was trapped.
Cinderella ran into one space and slammed the doors shut while using a sword to keep the guards from coming in. The two birds soon got Prince Charles to follow them. The prince was curious as he was practicing his fencing, but soon followed after the birds.
"Cinderelly, catch!" Gus called out before he threw the wand as Jaq held onto him so he wouldn't fall, and where soon Cinderella caught the wand.
"Phew!" Drell breathed in relief for Cinderella.
The prince soon came running in until the birds flew away from him.
"Lift the spell, let him remember!" Cinderella called out as she waved the wand as the guards tried to break through the door. "Bibbiti-Bobbiti-" Unfortunately for her, the guards were able to break through and grabbed her, interrupting the spell.
"Oh, toothpicks!" Drell groaned in Cinderella's misfortune.
Lady Tremaine took the wand and slipped it into her sleeve.
"No!" Cinderella cried out to her step-mother.
"Why that evil witch!" Atticus glared.
"What's going on?" Prince Charles ran up the stairs.
"My apologies, it's a problem with my maid," Lady Tremaine replied as the guards grabbed a hold of Cinderella. "It's under control."
"Are you okay?" Prince Charles asked Cinderella.
"This servant girl is a thief." The second guard sneered.
"I am not a thief!" Cinderella glared before frowning softly to the prince. "You're under a spell. That's why you don't remember me. Please! Just listen! Let go!" She had soon touched Prince Charles's hand before being taken away by the guard.
Prince Charles felt a deep sensation inside of himself as he felt his hand after her touch. The guards soon turned away to take Cinderella away.
'So close.' Drell thought to himself with a groan.
"Sorry, Your Majesty, but your son is in love with Cinderella!" Atticus called out to the king.
"He's right!" Charles added in agreement as he got onto his horse with the orphans.
"Wahoo!" Atticus cheered as he enjoyed the ride.
