Madison starts opening her eyes and blinked a few times. The brightness slowly becomes dim, and the vision starts to clear up, but when Madison looked around, everything was now different and... animated. The inside of the limo was so different. There were seats on both sides with cushions, four windows on the sides with curtains and one on the front and behind.

She then looked at her animated self and saw that her attire has changed. Instead of her modern clothes, it was now Victorian dress in different shades of blue and her hair was half pulled in a bun which was almost like Belle's. Madison looks out of the window for a peek and to her surprise, she wasn't riding on the limo, she's riding in a carriage. Madison doesn't know what was going on until the realization hit her.

'This is really happening.' she thought, 'I'm actually in Cinderella's world.'

Zor popped his little head out of the bag and looked around. Although he looked at the bag to see that it wasn't a travel bag, but a satchel. The Bearded Dragon looked up to see his mistress and chirped.

"Zor... we're now in Cinderella's world. And the limo turned out to be magic into a carriage." she said softly to him.

The Bearded Dragon scurried out of the satchel and starts crawling around. He climbs up on the seat to where Madison was sitting and peaked through the back window. He could see the road and trees, but on the back of the carriage was Madison's luggage that became in a Victorian style.

Madison peeked through her window and notice that the carriage was driving through a village. There are people around, busy, walking, and buying items from stands and carts. The villagers looked friendly, and the town looks peaceful, thinking that maybe she'll go out for a stroll someday.

As the carriage was now back at the woods, both Madison and Zor felt the carriage moving sideways and shaking which was from the road that the driver was following. Suddenly, Madison noticed the carriage started to slow down and the trees were getting lesser. She quickly looked out through the window and couldn't believe her eyes.

There it was. The chateau in person. Looks exactly like in the film. Madison quickly went back in, away from the window and looked at Zor as the carriage stopped.

"Get inside, Zor. Quickly." she said to him softly.

The Bearded Dragon scurried quickly inside the satchel as the sound of the driver got off the seat and landed on the gravel ground. Madison put her bag around her shoulder and saw the driver came to the side of the door.

"Miss." he spoke as he opened it.

"Thank you." she spoke to him as she got out.

Madison took one good look at the chateau and then looked back at the driver as he brought out her luggage. The two starts heading towards the chateau until they stopped at the door as the driver placed the case down beside Madison.

"This is where I leave you. Enjoy your stay."

"Thank you for taking me here, sir." she said to him, and the driver tipped his cap and walks off.

As the driver got back on his seat and starts driving with the horses, Madison looked back at the door and sigh. Taking of few deep breaths and starts knocking on the door. Wait for a second or two, she knocked the door again until it started to open. Knowing someone have answered it and Madison met the one person she is now meeting.

Cinderella.

She was indeed beautiful and fair as ever. Even though she was dressed in rags. Her eyes still sparkled like sapphire gems and the white bandana was covering her flowing, strawberry blonde hair.

"Hello." the maid spoke in a soft tone.

"Hello." Madison replied as she brought out her letter, "I'm Lady Madison, I was invited to come here by Lady Tremaine herself."

"Of course. She's being expecting you, my lady. Please do come in."

"Thank you." she said to the maid and grabbed her luggage as she went inside.

Madison looked around the as she was in the main room. There were the stairs that lead up to the hall where the doors are, the chairs and a sofa.

"I'll let Lady Tremaine know you're here." Cinderella spoke.

"Of course." Madison nods to her.

Cinderella went upstairs to fetch Lady Tremaine while Madison sits down on a chair to rest. She looked around the room, seeing every detail on the floor, walls, and stairs. She knew the animators did a swell on job on this including the chateau and some rooms that Madison remembered in the film.

Zor popped his small head to get a look at the room, but as he heard the sound of a door opening from the distance, he quickly hid back in. Madison looked at the direction as she heard the door open that was coming from upstairs and saw someone walking down the hall to the stairs. Her heart was pounding as she saw an elder woman with her grey hair up in a bun, green eyes that looked like they were glowing, lips that looked sneering in a hidden way, and dress was all in red with some purple.

It was her. Lady Tremaine. The wicked stepmother.

"Lady Madison. How delightful for you to come." she spoke to her.

"It is an honor of meeting you, Lady Tremaine." Madison spoke as she curtsied to her.

"Likewise. I'm sure my daughters and I will make your stay more comfortable in our humble home."

"I appreciate that."

"Cinderella, will show you to your room." said Lady Tremaine and then shouted, "Cinderella!"

With that name being hollered, Madison looked up to see Cinderella coming out from one of the doors and quickly ran down the stairs.

"Yes, Stepmother?"

"Would you show Lady Madison to her room?"

"Yes, Stepmother."

Madison looked at the maid as she got closer to her and grabbed the luggage.

"This way, miss." she spoke to her.

Madison starts following her as the two went up the stairs and walked down the hall. She looked at the doors knowing that the bedrooms were the stepsisters' and Lady Tremaine's, but the one door that was behind her, was the attic where Cinderella sleeps. Finally, the two stopped at a different room which could possibly be the bedroom where Madison would stay. Cinderella opens the door and let Madison go in first along with her.

"This is where you'll be sleeping, my lady." said Cinderella as she put the luggage down.

Madison looked around the room, seeing how big it is. The bed looks big and comfortable, a large window, a vanity, wardrobe, and a changing board.

"Thank you." she spoke to the maid. "This bedroom is very lovely."

"I'm glad to hear it. Do make yourself at home." said Cinderella and then she left the room.

Madison starts walking around her new room. Looking through the window to see the view and could barely see the castle from the distance, checking the bed to see that it felt cozy, and also checking inside of the wardrobe with wired hangers. Madison quickly opened her luggage and saw that her modern clothes have changed into gowns as well. She starts handing them up until she saw her book. She started to feel worried about if the Tremaines would discover it.

"Now what to do with this?" she wondered to herself.

Zor chirped and gurgled as he was out of the satchel and had his tail pointed at the bag. Madison smiled at her friend, knowing that he was helping but feared that the Tremaines would find it. But then... she thought of an idea.

"Zor." she spoke in a quiet tone, "Go to the door and be on a look out. See if someone's coming."

The Bearded Dragon nod his head and scurried towards the door, peeking through the bottom to see if a pair of feet stopped by. Madison looked at her book and starts concentrating on what she was doing. The book started to glow and then it's started to shrink down to a miniature size.

Madison smiled knowing that it worked and placed the book in her dress pocket.

"Coast is clear, Zor?" she asked.

Zor gurgled as he nods his head and scurried down towards her. Madison gently picked her friend up and walked towards the window to see the view again. Gently petting his scales, the Bearded Dragon purred a little as he was enjoying it.

"Now that we are staying here, remember the one rule I told you about?"

Zor nods head as he remembered what it was. Never attack or eat the mice. They are Cinderella's friends, but the one thing he can do, was scaring the cat.

As the day became night already, Madison was now in a her pink night gown and her hair was now tied in a braid. She looked at her Bearded Dragon as he was already asleep on the bed, snoring and twitching his leg. Madison let out a soft giggle and was about to get on the bed until...

SNAP!

The sound got her attention, and it awoke Zor as well. Wondering where it was coming from, the two heard a squeaking sound, crying for help. Zor quickly climbed up to Madison's shoulder and the two starts following the voice that was coming from the corner of her room where the wardrobe is. Madison peeked through and saw a little mouse who got its tail stuck on a mouse trap.

Madison got a good look at the mouse, and it was actually a female. Wearing a pink dress with a white apron and a purple hat. Madison seemed to remember that she has seen her in the film with the other mice. Once she kneeled down, the mouse now notice she was there and started to panic.

"It's okay. It's okay." she spoke softly to her. "Don't be afraid. I'm here to help."

"So... so you're not going to kill me or let him eat me?" the mouse questioned as she looked at Zor.

"Of course, not. I won't let Zor eat you." Madison replies and then looked at the trap. "Here. Let me set you free."

The mouse looked at the girl's hands towards the trap and starts lifting the bar up. The young mouse quickly swiped her tail and moved away from the trap and Madison let go of the bar.

"Thank you." she said to the human and quickly ran off to the hole.

Madison smiled and slowly got up as she was heading back to the bed. It was a shame that she didn't know the mouse's name, but she tries to remember that one mouse character that she has the same dress as the one in the Disney parks. Perhaps maybe tomorrow she'll meet the mouse again.

Zor let out yawn and got off her shoulder as started to feel tired. Madison smiled to him and then blew the candle out from her side dresser. She laid down on her bed to get comfy and starts falling asleep. Knowing and hoping that tomorrow will might be like the start of how the movie begins.

To Be Continued...
