Once upon a time there lived a beautiful called Yuuki. Her mother died when she was only a baby, leaving her father alone. When she was already 5 years old, her father remarried a woman with 2 daughters of Yuuki's age. From that day on, she was treated as a slave and was bullied her 2 stepsisters. Years had passed and Yuuki grew into a fine lady.
"Yuuki! Where's my pink dress!?" Ruka exclaimed.
"Yes, I'll get it after I finish cleaning the dishes" Yuuki replied.
"Yuuki! I told you already that I hate wearing this white dress!? Where is my violet dress? Give it to me!" Rima demanded.
"I'll get it right away" Yuuki answered.
"Yuuki! Get me the newsletter at the door!" Asato-san ordered.
"Yes my lady" Yuuki said and hurriedly went to pick it up.
"I heard that the prince will have his birthday inside the castle and it is also when he chooses her bride" Kaien-dono said.
"Really? Really? Ohhh!! I would have the chance to see the prince!" Ruka jumped for joy.
"The prince would surely pick ME!" Rima bragged.
"No! The prince will pick the gorgeous me!" Ruka exclaimed while pushing Rima aside.
"Hey! You--" Rima kicked Ruka's leg.
"Ouch!" Ruka squeaked.
"Stop fighting! Both of you! You two will have the change to see the prince so you should be at your very best" Asato-san said.
"Yipee!" The two girls jumped as their fancy dresses looked like they were dancing.
"Can Yuuki come with us?" Kaien-dono asked.
When Asato-san heard what Kaien-dono said, she glared at him with a murderous intent that kept Kaien-dono silent.
"A slave will never look good on a dress and besides… a slave doesn't deserve to attend the prince's ball" Asato-san frankly said.
Yuuki went back to the kitchen and started crying "I'll ever see the prince…"
The next day, the whole household was very busy preparing for the ball. Yuuki was also busy helping both her stepsisters with their dresses. After all the preparation, everyone except Yuuki went to the castle. Yuuki sat down and kept herself warm beside the fireplace. Tears fell from Yuuki's eyes and as she wiped her face, she was surprised to see a lady standing beside her.
"Oh dear me, tears down such a lovely face!" said the lady.
"Who are you?" asked Yuuki.
"Your fairy godmother" said the lady. "I am supposed to come when you really need me and I think you really need me" said the lady as she giggled and her cheeks went pink.
"What's your name?" Yuuki asked.
"My name is Sayori" Sayori giggled. "Anyways, do you want to go to the ball?" Sayori asked.
"Yes! I really want to go, please" Yuuki answered.
"Well then, bring me 1 pumpkin, and 6 white mice, 3 fat rats, and 4 lizards" Sayori said.
Yuuki hurriedly went to get what Sayori asked and gave it to her.
"Now, let's do some magic!" Sayori jumped and laughed.
The pumpkin transformed into a beautiful carriage while the white mice became very beautiful white horses and the 3 fat rats became 3 handsome coachmen while the 4 lizards became footmen dressed in scarlet.
"And the last touch" Sayori waved her wand and sparkling dust surrounded Yuuki.
Yuuki transformed into a very beautiful lady "Wow, this is such a beautiful dress" Yuuki complimented.
"And this is the best part" Sayori said as she waved her wand again.
Glass slippers that looked very delicate were the shoes of Yuuki. The shoes glimmered very bright.
"Now you're really for the ball" Sayori said as she waved goodbye to Yuuki.
"Just don't forget, everything will disappear when the clock strikes 12" Sayori said.
"Thank you, fairy godmother! Thank you!" Yuuki said with a very wide smile on her face.
Yuuki went inside the carriage and with magic; the carriage flew in the air and went straight to the ball. Yuuki entered the castle and everyone looked at her in awe. She was the very prettiest of all.
"Who is that girl…" Ruka whispered.
"I don't know but she's going to steal our prince" Rima answered.
Prince Zero also noticed Yuuki and quickly approached her.
"Shall we dance?" Prince Zero held his hand out.
"Yes, my prince" Yuuki answered.
Prince Zero danced with Yuuki for the whole evening, it was magic!
The clock began to strike an hour...
"I'll be late! I really must go" said Yuuki.
"Please stay" said Prince Zero. "I want to ask you to…"
ONE... TWO…
But it was too late. Yuuki was already running out of the ballroom.
THREE… FOUR…
As she ran, she lost one of her glass slipper. She had no time to turn back, so she took off her other shoe…
FIVE… SIX…
Ran to the carriage and jumped in. The coachman cracked his whip and the carriage sped away…
SEVEN… EIGHT…
Past the palace guards…
NINE… TEN…
And out of the palace gates…
ELEVEN…
Just before the last note sounded…
TWELVE…
MIDNIGHT!
Yuuki found herself standing all alone in the kitchen in her old rags. Perhaps it was a dream? But then she looked down and saw that she was still holding one glass shoe. She quickly put it in her pocket.
A few minutes later her stepmother and stepsisters were complaining when they came stomping into the house.
"How dare that girl steal the prince from me!" Ruka complained.
"He's my prince not yours!" Rima exclaimed.
Yuuki giggled behind the kitchen door and quickly closed it. The next day the prince announced that he would marry the lady whose tiny foot fitted the glass shoe. As the news came to the household, The 2 stepsisters hurriedly cleaned their feet.
The prince tried and tried every single foot of the young ladies in the village but the slipper wouldn't fit. The last house was the house of Yuuki.
As the prince knocked on the door, the stepmother welcomed him in as the two stepsisters tried to get his attention.
"Alright girls! Fit it in!" Asato-san said.
But after the two wore the slipper, it didn't fit. The prince was in dismay and he noticed the kitchen door was half open.
"Is there someone else living here besides the 3 of you?" Prince Zero asked.
"Ah yes yes! It's only the 3 of us and my husband" Asato-san said while trying to stop the prince from entering the kitchen.
"Please, let me in" Prince Zero said.
"No no no! It's very stinky inside Prince--" Asato-san said.
"Actually, I have a daughter" Kaien-dono interrupted.
"Where is she?" Prince Zero asked.
"Inside the kitchen" Kaien-dono answered.
Prince Zero went inside the room and found Yuuki standing like she's waiting for the prince to find her.
"May you wear this glass slipper lady?" Prince Zero asked.
"Yes, your highness" Yuuki replied.
Yuuki slowly wore the glass slipper and the Prince was surprised that it really fit. Yuuki took out the other slipper and wore it.
"It is you!" Prince Zero smiled and hugged Yuuki.
Both of them got married and lived happily ever after...
The End.
