A Modern Cinderella
Once upon a time…
There was a young girl and her father
The girl’s name was Cinderella
He married a young woman who had 2 children, Anastasia and Drizella.
One day, Cinderella’s father went on a business trip and never returned
The stepmother was very demanding
She made Cinderella be the maid of the house
Cinderella did the dishes, laundry, and scrubbed the floors.
What the stepmother did not know was that Cinderella had some mice friends
Jaque and Gus Gus where her only friends for that matter
Except, she was not a good friend to them
She trained them to do the chores for her.
All Cinderella did was watch Netflix, sleep, and go on her phone
When she was scrolling through Instagram she remembered that a school dance coming up
It is a Halloween Ball where you dress up in costume
She then went to Pinterest to look for a costume idea.
She wanted to wear the risky costume of Sandy from Grease
She was trying to impress some boys at the dance
There was only one problem
Cinderella’s stepmother.
Drizella and Anastasia are jealous of Cinderella
They are afraid that she is going to win the title of Halloween Witch
They told their mother to not allow Cinderella to attend the dance
Cinderella was heartbroken.
On the night of the dance, Cinderella stayed at home to help the mice
But the mice surprised her with her Sandy costume
So, she snuck out to the hair salon so they can make her look the part
The hair lady, Nancy, was her fairy godmother for the night.
Nancy told Cinderella that when the clock strikes 12, her hair will begin to frizz
Cinderella did not want to let the guys see her with frizzy hair
She promised that she would be home before that happens
So Cinderella set off for the ball.
She rode a motorcycle to the dance to help her look the part
When she walked in she did not recognize anyone besides her sisters
Anastasia and Drizella both wore matching princess dresses
At least Cinderella knew who to avoid.
Then, from across the gym, was a guy dressed as Danny Zuko
It was fate. Sandy… Danny… it was a perfect match
They danced the night away
Cinderella was falling in love.
Ding! Ding! Ding! The clock strikes 11:55
Cinderella dashed out of the door as fast as she could while holding onto her hair
Danny chased after her
He was too late.
She hopped on her motorcycle and sped away
But something fell out of her pocket
Her phone case fell off
The boy scooped it up.
She did not make it far
Her motorcycle ran out of gas
She hopped off and ran the rest of the way on foot
When she got home her hair was a mess.
The next day at school, everyone was talking about how Danny was looking for his Sandy
He was trying the phone case on every girl’s phone to see if it would fit
Of course Cinderella’s stepsisters tried it but they have an Android and the case is for iPhones
But they knew something that most people did not, Cinderella used to have that phone case.
They brought Cinderella into the bathroom
They locked her in a stall and would not let her out
They thought that if they cannot win the guy, then no one can
Cinderella sobbed in the bathroom.
Jaque and Gus Gus climbed out of her backpack
They snuck underneath the crack in the bathroom door
They jumped up and unlocked the door
Click!
Cinderella just made it to class 2 minutes before the bell would ring for release
She walked up to Danny and asked to try on the case
He handed it to her and it fit perfectly
They finally knew the real person who was hiding behind the costume
He reached into his backpack and pulled out a diamond witch hat
“We won witch and warlock of the dance,” he said.
Cinderella was ecstatic
They embraced in a long hug and exchanged phone numbers
They have been dating ever since
They will grow up and live happily ever after
