My Version of Cinderella: Once upon a time, in a far-away land called 'Beautyland', lived a family. In the family, everyone was very goodlooking, that is, except for Cindyrelly. She was fabulously ugly, and everyone called her ugly names, like Cinderface. However, she did have a very kind heart and was one of the nicest girls miles around. That was the problem of Beautyland. The prettier or more handsome you are(which is very pretty in this case), the wickeder your heart it. Such is the case of her two glamourous sisters, Kiki and Lala. They were totally gorgeous, pencil thin with curves in all the right places. They were known for their bullying acts to the members of the Ugly Club, which for now, consisted of only Cindyrelly and her best friend, Iceblack. Cindyrelly was the exact opposite of K and L. She was bulging fat, and pathetically short too. Many times, her father would turn red from shame when someone waggers a finger at her and ask dubiously if she was actually a daughter of his. Now one day, the prince sent out invitations to his ball, which was for him to find a wife for his to successfully step into the throne. However, this was quite a case, as, he was incredibly good looking and had girls of all ages and sizes swooning over him. But the exceptional thing about him was that, he had a KIND HEART. Pretty incredulous coming out from a pretty face from him huh? But anyway, duh the sisters all receive invitations, but Cindyrelly could only run to her room in shame. "Oh no!!" She thought. "Never, never can I let him see me. However big a crush I have of him, he will most definitely not fall in love with me!!" POP!!! A sound came from the top of her head. Rubbing her eyes, Cindyrelly looked up. Then she stopped any action. She was very shocked. Who couldn't be, considering a very fat and ugly fairy was hovering over her, with much difficulty staying there due to massive force of gravity pulling her down. Anyway, not to digress too far, she told Cindyrelly in an accusing voice, "Why are you crying idiot? With me, your godsister around, you can definitely go to the ball!" "I have a godsister?" "Duh, look at the size of me, you can tell plainly I am a clone of you. I wish i was like Pittera, that godsister of Kiki, but here I am, stuck with the looks of you, ugly as ever. I'm Tottletone, by the way," Tottletone pouted. With a swish of the wand, Cindyrelly turned into a marvellous beauty with the figure of a model, and she was really shocked by the outturn of events. "Wish I could do that on myself, but there are laws to follow. 'Never can a fairy in anyway use magic to help herself'," Tottletone recited a phrase from the Book of Fairy Laws. Cindyrelly was not even listening. She was admiring herself from head to toe. Before Tottletone could say another word, Cindyrelly rushed out. "Must not be late for the ball!!!" She giggled on her way out. "Remember, the spell only lasts till midnight!!! (I hear your groan)", Tottletone said. "Yes, yes, another law of the Fairyland!" Cindyrelly said knowingly. (digressing a bit, music from my speakers ia kinda distracting me) She rushed to the ball as fast as she could, but she was already late. Hoping to make a dramatic entrance, she opened the door and poof!, fell down. The prince obviously took a second look at her, and was shocked by how such a beauty could exist. He asked her for a dance and eventually they got around to talking. They discovered that both of them were kind hearted souls who felt that the beauty of the kingdom was too much for them to hold. He then told her the story of how the kingdom actually came about. It so happened that a fairy named Angela gave the kingdom, which consisted of many uglies, a gift, that all children born would be beautiful. However, her spell was not very strong, and it was beginning to degenerate, causing several uglies to be born now and then. At this, Cindyrelly flinched. "How unfair the world is," she thought. However, she just enjoyed herself at how much fun there was at the ball. All of a sudden, the clock struck for midnight. In horror, Cindyrelly broke from Prince's embrace, rushing for the door. The prince was in shock, but soon recovered, and rushed after her. However, she was much too fast for him, and left but a mere glass.....yes....slipper for him on the steps. Hugging the shoe, he cried. Ignoring the fact of how smelly the shoe was in particular, he pinned for her to come back. Alas, he shall follow the legend of the Prince searching for Cinderella using a glass slipper. PERFECT. So he embarked on a journey. For many days, he did not succeed. Then, he reached Cindyrelly's house. He was shocked when he saw the face of Cindyrelly, but he did not say anything and slipped the slipper (get the pun?) into her feet, and alas it fitted!! He was shocked. Flabbergasted. How could such a beauty turn into another ugly overnight? However, when he asked her if she was truly the girl he danced with, she nodded. Then things turned unexpected. He hugged her and said, "I have at last found my true love! I do not care how you look, but your character tells it all, and I am indeed in love with you!!" At this, Cindyrelly cried. Her tears dropped into heart, deep inside, and all of a sudden, something magical happened. Cindyrelly turned into the beauty who appeared at the ball last night. Everyone was shocked. POP! Tottletone appeared. "Oh yeah, this is great! I bet the people, fairies, i mean, up there relented and broke a law, for once! Its good you know, considering I don't have to look ugly and fat anymore!!!", she said. How anti climax she is. But anyway, duh the Prince carried off, considering she was much lighter now, and they married. They lived happily ever after.
