Different kinds of stories of Mary Beth Ella Gertrude aka Cinderella my mom had been released and role played. It sucks to see how they turned my mom to a very poor maid when infract she’s not. Come to think of it how can be a flawless looking girl become a maid,  I’m not boasting it but my mom is totally a beauty. So many once upon a time of my mom but my once upon a time is my favorite, well of course she’s my mom I know her better than anyone else, well except for granny and my 2 aunties of course. So many things to say but let’s begin now with the story.

             Once upon a time in a village somewhere in France (I won’t tell you where because I don’t want you to stalk me of course) a girl is happily living with her family until her mother died. The sadness in the girl’s face and her father is totally very visible ( it’s not that rare to see someone crying because of the death of their love ones but telling you is still so heartbreaking, specially that I did not even got the chance to meet grandmother). (After 5 minutes of mourning)Going back to the story, I don’t know exactly when but grandpa found a woman and soon married her. She is Lady Tremaine, my other grandma, a person who believes that a family should love each other, she is also proud of having three beautiful daughters, one is a stepdaughter (which is Cinderella my mom) and the  two biological daughters are: 

                  First is Anastasia, the person who is not close with Drizella and Cinderella for she is the eldest and a bully. Like any other stories she is obsessed with beauty and couldn’t accept that Drizella and Cinderella outstand her and that Lady Tremaine spend more time on the two. She feels like she is an outcast in the family because no matter what she do lady Tremaine don’t pay much attention to her so she’d rather bully her two younger sister and pour all her jealousy to them. She is not intelligent like Drizella nor kind like Cinderella but she can hurt her sisters just to get the attention of her mom .

        Second is the genius Drizella, Lady Tremaine’s second daughter she is an intelligent person and has a close bond with Cinderella, after all they are both same age sharing the same hobbies. She loves reading and understanding the society more. She hates the castle for she believe that they are the most evil people in the country, wherein nobles put blame on all faults and mistakes on others or commoners shall we say. In addition to that a farmer doesn’t blame that the ground isn’t fertile, and the musician doesn’t blame the instrument. The problem is with the owner, it doesn’t depend on the target, oh well, she just hate the castle too much. She might be bullied by Anastasia but she couldn’t fight back because she respect her older sister and she love her no matter what.

                My Mom is very close to her step family even when my grandpa died. They  lived a very peaceful life helping each other and taking care of each other .They do all the household chores together and after that they work to earn money together .They take turns in selling clothing’s in the market.Yes, they sell clothes in the market, they own a boutique where most noble people buy because of the unique and quality clothes they sell.

            After the work of Cinderella she always go to the part of the forest where she calls the “relaxing peaceful place”. She/he mostly sing in the place while animals listen to her songs. She doesn’t want to stay long in the boutique because she hates being bullied by Anastasia, but, lately Anastasia became odd because she seemed to be very busy with something that’s why she’s always late. Meanwhile, a guy who’s seemed to be lost, having a journey to the unending left and right paths, he stopped. He couldn’t describe it but he fell in love with the voice. He doesn’t know where but he followed  the enchanting voice that is so calming. He gasped, what an amazing place he saw, what a beautiful swan lake. The voice stopped and he felt tired from all the walking so he took a rest enjoying the view and forgetting that he’s lost. While he was resting, he again heard the voice but it was near not like earlier, so far, however one thing’s for sure the voice is literally beautiful and captivating. The lady’s concerns bore through her mouth as she spoke and asked the guy “Are you alright?”

         His heart became restless as he saw a beauty in front of me, such clear eyes like the stars, a skin as clear as snow and lips so red like blood itself, so beautiful he can even call her the incarnation of Odette the famous lady of swan lake.

 “Hi, my lady, I’m sorry but may I ask what’s your name?”, the guy asked the woman.

 “Hi sir, my name is Mary Beth Ella but people used to call me Cinderella.

 “Pleasure to meet you Cinderella my name is Lance and people use to call me Kit”, said the guy.

              The first encounter was magical for Cinderella and Lance for it is the first time Cinderella felt her heart beats fast and Lance felt the same. It’s already 12:00 lunch and Cinderella needs to go home to cook food while Lance needs to go home for his father might get angry at him for escaping again. On her way home Cinderella saw her step sister Drizella waiting for her, though Cinderella and Drizella are step sisters their closeness with each other never dies and until now they don’t even think that they are both stepsisters to each other. ” Hey, sis where have you been?”, asked Drizella, “sorry I was in my relaxing spot and I  seemed to forgot the time”, Cinderella said while smiling dreamily. Drizella just shrug and helped Cinderella cook the food for their lunch.”Hey, Drizella where is Anastasia?”, asked Lady Tremaine “probably late again”, said Drizella, ” I wonder why she had been going home late during lunch and after lunch she again goes out and go home late”, Cinderella said 

Sound of door opening*

“I’m sorry I’m late”, Anastasia said looking scary and intimidating the two didn’t look at her

“You’re always late”, said Lady Tremaine (Anastasia just went directly to the table not minding Lady Tremaine nor her two sisters)

While eating

                  Dingdong dingdong a door bell rang, what an unexpected “open in the name of the king” they heard, Lady Tremaine, my grandma,  read the letter to the three beautiful ladies. “It is to be a ball”, “a ball?”, Cinderella and Drizella said excitedly, while Anastasia just kept eating, “yes a masquerade ball to be exact”, their mom added.“O my gosh I have to find a dress”,Drizella said, “me too”, Cinderella added, “so do I” , Anastasia said in bored tone but deep inside she’s excited. “Girls stop, relax, stay calm, the ball will be a week from now”, Lady Tremaine added, “oohhh”, added the three girls. “I’m done with my meal and I have somewhere else to go mom”, Anastasia said “oh okay dear but be sure to go back home”, Lady Tremaine replied, “Me too, I have somewhere else to go”, Drizella said, “oh alright my dear, but you to better go home by 6:00 pm”, Lady Tremaine said “Yes mother”, the two replied, Cinderella and Lady Tremaine look at each other and just shrugged.

            The ball is my last chance to make Benjamin look at me like I am the most prettiest girl in his eyes, not that Cinderella. I was so hurt to see how Benjamin said that he saw Cinderella with someone and she seemed happy to be with him. I pity him but at the same time I’m relieved that Cinderella doesn’t like him. Benjamin had been my friend for a long time hence I am not close with Drizella nor Cinderella, Benjamin became the person I’m closed to with, however he like Cinderella. I’m jealous of her because Benjamin just saw her once and he became her stalker, yes, he don’t approach Cinderella but he watches her from afar. He can see her but he can’t see me, my love for him. I have been a good girl lately like how he said that he likes Cinderella’s kindness, can’t he see that I am changing for him?. My anger towards my sisters just kept on growing because they always make me feel like I am always two steps behind and that they are much better than me, that they excel in every possible way while I am not.

           The next day, after Cinderella’s work she again went to her relaxing place , she sing while her animal  friends patiently listen. The animals are so behaved in front of her well who wouldn’t after all she has a very nice voice and a very beautiful song, little did she know, someone is watching her from behind, secretly admiring her, that’s no other than Lance of course. “So pure as she sing, a very beautiful goddess of the forest, animals even admiring her, looking closely as she sing, oh how I wish I am also close to her”,mumbled Lance. Again, Cinderella went home and there left Lance, watching her walk away, thinking on how will he approach her. ” Don’t worry Lance, just gather up the courage, be a man, earn her trust first”, Lance said because he failed to approach the woman who is now lost in his sight. He went home feeling disappointed and as he walked he could not take her off his mind. 

Anastasia’s POV,

            I was curious to see where Cinderella go whenever she’s done with her schedule so I followed her and saw someone watching her from a far. I was looking at him until they both disappeared in my sight then I heard a footstep and to my shock it’s Benjamin,  he’s sad. I asked him why but then instead of saying his problem I was shocked from what he said, he want me to help him let her(Cinderella) fall for him. My world crumbled, my heart begged for chance and my mind turned chaotic , if he can’t love me then I will never let that happen. No matter what will happen he will be mine. 

            When Anastasia went home she went to Cinderella who’s peacefully sewing a dress. “H-hey, sis”, Cinderella said while being shocked because Anastasia cut the dress she’s sewing. She don’t know what happened but after cutting the dress Anastasia glared at her then left without saying anything. Cinderella looked puzzled but she’s thankful that Anastasia did not hurt her physically but yeah she made Cinderella repeat sewing the dress. When Drizella went inside the room she asked Cinderella why did Anastasia went out in a bad mood, but even Cinderella don’t know what is the reason Anastasia did that. Looking at the situation, Drizella helped Cinderella and apologized on behalf of her sister.It is the second day before the ball and Cinderella and Drizella couldn’t wait after all their beauty are all outstanding (but I cannot deny, my mother is still the most beautiful, whatever let’s continue). Walking through the place where Cinderella use to go after her work she felt something weird because the path where she was walking was full of rose petals, still in awe as she was walking a guy was standing seemed to be waiting for someone. The familiar beating of Cinderella’s heart as she look at the man in front of her. Her heart melted as she saw him smiled. “Hi, nice to meet you again, Cinderella”, Lancelot said feeling nervous for the thought of making Cinderella scared because of his weird actions. “Uh, hi Kit”,

          Cinderella replied while blushing, they didn’t talk, being locked in each other’s eyes feeling the beat of their hearts, both creating rhythm as if drums rocking a whole concert. After realizing the whole situation they both look at the lake where Lancelot thought Cinderella was the reincarnation of Odette in the swan lake. “How are you?”, Lance asked just to forget the awkwardness between the two of them. ” I’m fine”, Cinderella replied, “May I ask why do you go to this place?”, Lance asked, “Well, before my mom and dad died we use to go here and swim in this lake”, Cinderella replied with a hint of sadness in her eyes, “Mom, used to sing for me while dad used to play guitar, everything before was just magical”, she added. “Such a beautiful place, magical indeed”, Lance said as he looked at Cinderella, ” Aren’t you afraid that what if someone with bad intention would come here?” Lance joked , ” Well, my mom used to tell me Have courage and be kind, that’s why”, Cinderella replied while smiling. 12:00 pm came and Cinderella once again need to go home, Lance wanted to walk Cinderella home however he is also late for the big preparation that will happen 5 days from now.

Cinderella’s POV

       As I was walking back home there is a man standing infront of me looking at me intimately. He approached me and said, “Hi, Ella, my name is Benjamin, nice to meet you”. It was awkward for me but I replied hi, he was nice and gentle however I’m going to be totally late so I must go but the man politely asked if he could walk me home. I couldn’t refuse to his kindness so I said yes and we walked while talking and he’s not only kind but also funny and easy to get along with. 

                   While Cinderella walked with Benjamin, someone is watching them from behind. Jealousy and anger was visible in her eyes as she look at Cinderella smiling and laughing with Benjamin. She walked away and think of way on how to make him stop pursuing her. Her mind was lost of ways on how to get Benjamin’s attention, because she’s already in pain seeing her love one being happy with Cinderella her, step sister.

At home* 

“I’m sorry, I’m late”, Anastasia said

“You’re always late”, said Drizella

“Go wash your hands, let’s eat”, Cinderella said while smiling , however Anastasia just glared at her and walked away. That made Cinderella confused.

The third day had come and again Lance went to where Cinderella use to go after work  bringing a guitar.

 “Lavender’s blue, dilly, dilly

Lavender’s green

When I am king, dilly, dilly

You shall be queen:

Who told you so, dilly, dilly

Who told you so?

‘Twas my own heart, dilly, dilly

That told me so.

I’ll call up my men, dilly, dilly

Set them to work

Some to the plough, dilly, dilly

Some to the fork

Some to make hay, dilly, dilly

Some to cut corn

While you and I, dilly, dilly

Keep ourselves warm

Lavender’s green, dilly, dilly

Lavender’s blue

If you love me, dilly, dilly

I will love you

Let the birds sing, dilly, dilly

And the lambs play

We shall be safe, dilly, dilly

Out of harm’s way

I love to dance, dilly, dilly

I love to sing

When I am king, dilly, dilly

You’ll be my queen:

Who told me so, dilly, dilly

Who told me so?

I told myself, dilly, dilly

     “ I told me so”, Lance sung as he looked at Cinderella in the eyes, funny because he couldn’t think of any song and decided to sing what Cinderella use to sing whenever she goes to the place where they both are staring at each other. Everything was magical until he saw Cinderella teared up, he became worried and asked why the she answered ” It’s been ten years since someone sing for me that song that’s why I teared up I’m sorry”. To Cinderella’s shock Lance offered his hand asking her for a dance and again she felt emotional for her father is the only person danced with her. Enjoying the moment, Cinderella suddenly realized that she must go home.

         While walking, Benjamin again showed up and asked Cinderella about the guy is and then he noticed Cinderella blushed, he then became more desperate to become closer to her. On the other side ,Anastasia suddenly grabbed Cinderella’s hand and said to Benjamin that they can go home together and that he don’t need to walk with them. Then she pulled Cinderella away and talked to her.

“What is it?”, Cinderella asked

“You!!, Will you please stay away from Ben”, she said 

“Why?”, Cinderella asked confused

“He’s mine, so please just stay away from him”, she said and walked away

           Cinderella don’t really care if she needs to stay away from Benjamin and she feels awkward whenever he’s around. The next day, as she was going out of the market someone pulled her so instead of going to her favorite spot she was taken to a very beautiful rose garden with many butterflies on it. She was smiling when the person who pulled her asked “do you like it?”. Cinderella looked at Benjamin and nodded with a smile. She was happy and enjoyed the moment not knowing that someone was watching them from behind. ” You’re a flirt”, she said and walked away thinking of a way how to teach Cinderella a lesson. When Cinderella went home she  saw Anastasia destroying her father’s last gift from her, it’s the paper butterfly toy she had kept for the past years. She looked at her in disbelief but then Anastasia just shrugged and said ” Learn to distance yourself from him, be thankful that I don’t hurt you physically “, then she threw away the dress of Cinderella’s mom and when Cinderella took it, it was torn and some of it were burned. Cinderella teared up seeing her mother’s dress and her father’s gift being destroyed, she couldn’t fix it.

          In order to suppress her sadness Cinderella went to the swan lake to burry the things her parents left her. As she was crying while saying goodbye to her treasured belongings given to her by her parents, someone came to her and asked if she was alright. She couldn’t help it and cried more, that’s when Lance decided to comfort her by hugging her. When Cinderella stopped crying she told Lance that Anastasia destroyed her parents last gift to her, Lance couldn’t to anything to help her so he just let her talk. Then Lance came up with an idea and started to offer his hand for them to dance while he is singing. They danced and danced until Cinderella began to smile and eventually got tired. 

            Lance and Cinderella always meet each other  until it is the day of the masquerade ball. Cinderella decided to go to the shoe store near the market since her step family and her decided to close the store. (Inside the shoe store she was shocked to see Lance) “Lance?, Cinderella questioned, “Ella, what are you doing here?”, Lance replied, ” I am here to buy a shoes”, Cinderella said with a smile, “oh I see”, Lance thought of the glass slipper he’d been making for Cinderella and gave it to her. Cinderella’s eyes sparkled as she was captivated by the glass shoes Lance, “you’re a shoe maker?”, asked Cinderella , “yes”, Lance replied as he remembered how he begged his dad to allow him become a shoe maker for he dreamed to become one. “How much will this be?”, Cinderella asked, “Well, it’s free as long as your heart is mine”, Lance mumbled. “What how much?”, Cinderella again asked, “It’s free, I said”, replied Lance. Cinderella was stunned and again asked, “Are you sure?”, “Yes”, Lance said, “alright thank you”, Cinderella said with a sincere smile, (damn those beautiful smile, if only I could kiss her), Lancelot’s mind was flooded with Cinderella’s smile when someone grabbed him and put him to sleep.

” Is he awake?”, Said a very serious man

“Yes your highness” replied the person hired to put Lance into someone’s room.

“Urghh brother what are you up to?”, asked Lance with a groan

 “Have you forgotten?, Kit! today is the masquerade ball we need to prepare!”, Claude said to his brother

 ” Gosh brother it’s Lancelot not Kit, I’m too old for that nickname”, Lancelot shouted.

  Lance and Claude are brothers, and yes they are both prince. They are both look a like, anyone would think they’re twins but they’re not Claude is older than Lance. Claude did not want to go to the ball thinking that someone whom he expect to come wouldn’t come because he know that she hates the castle her name is Drizella, yes, he pretended to become a commoner like Lance did and met Drizella. “That girl is very intelligent, yet she hates the kingdom”, Claude said as he imagined Drizella’s words “nothing’s more interesting in this world than her, her attitude and wit”, Claude added. “Geez, be a man will you, you look disgusting, how can you act dreamily infront of us”, Lance said

“Don’t act as if  you’re not like me before we kidnapped you”, Claude said ( Lance turned red after hearing those words)

   The ball came and everything is settled already Claude was patiently waiting as he look at every woman in the ball. He hopes to see her and that if she will be in that ball, he would surely marry her and change her view about being noble. She do not know that Claude is a prince but he was amazed how she view nobles as bad person but not all nobles. Thinking how intelligent and pretty she is, she will surely become a good and deserving queen.

Gertrude’s mansion*

“Oh sister!, my necklace was lost , would you mind if I look for my necklace and I’ll just follow?”, Cinderella asked Drizella

“Sure, but be sure to make it fast and do not make us worry”, Drizella said

At the ball*

“Gosh this dress it’s so long”, Drizella complained

“Silence”, said Lady Tremaine

“Be a Lady”, she continued

“Sir Claude?,it’s now time to choose a woman to dance with”, said the duke

“Uhmmm, alright, can we just wait for a second, besides it’s me to decide whether I marry the girl I danced with or not”, said Claude

Anastasia’s POV,

                 Cinderella won’t be able to come here because I have her necklace. When someone asked for Drizella a dance and got separated from her I wore Cinderella’s necklace, besides we both have the same body size and hair color. I am still mad at her so I made sure that she won’t be able to come here, and I’m sure of that. That’s when I saw Benjamin and approached him, Benjamin thought I am Cinderella because of the necklace and he was a little bit drunk so yes, he danced with me and took me out of the palace. While we were dancing Benjamin suddenly cried and asked, “ Cinderella, what would you feel if the person you love is also the love one of your sibling?”. Anastasia became silent and think of the things she did to Cinderella and replied, “ I will fight for that person, no matter what happen because I know that love also is about may the best man win”. “ Do you think it’s wrong to let go of Anastasia because my older brother love her too?”, the revelation shocked Anastasia especially that she remembered her plan on harming Cinderella just for her to win over Ben. Suddenly, Anastasia stand up and ran away, she must go and save Cinderella.

                   Hours came and Lancelot did not see Cinderella, he saw someone running who looks like her but it’s impossible because Cinderella’s skin is whiter and her eyes are blue not black so it’s impossible that it was her.

Meanwhile in  the forest*

                      “Where is the necklace?”, Cinderella kept on finding while tears started to build up . She couldn’t bear to lose the necklace given to her by her mother because it is the only memory left she could keep.

Suddenly, a trap caught her both feet, she struggled to loosen the tight grip of the rope but when the grip loosen she fell and one of the branch caught her dress, she was hanging when her dress gave up and got ripped apart, to her luck she fell on the lake. She was able to swam but she already look like a mess. She started to tear up specially that she couldn’t find the necklace. She was crying when someone spoke.

“ C-cinderella”, Anastasia said  

“huh, Anastasia?”, Cinderella said but Anastasia just handed her a dress and asked to dress up first

“But, isn’t this the dress you don’t want to wear because you don’t want it to get ugly?”, Cinderella asked confused

“I’m sorry that I have to harm you Ella”, Anastasia said instead of answering Cinderella’s question

“ I was so blinded by jealousy that I even took your necklace just to pretend to be you, I hope you forgive me”, Anastasia admitted not looking at Cinderella.

         Cinderella held Anastasia’s hand and said, “ thank you for giving back my necklace… I forgive you, I understand that sometimes we can do anything for love but sis, just promise me to be always kind and have courage”.

“Thank you very very much,Cinderella”, Anastasia said as she hugged Cinderella, after fixing Cinderella,they both set off

          They reached the palace, then Everyone stood there looking at her, admiring her like she is a very precious treasure. After entering the palace Lancelot knows that she is the one,the person he’d been waiting for has arrived, he went directly to Cinderella and asked her for a dance without hesitating Cinderella accepted his offer.

          Drizella saw Anastasia and told Anastasia to go to the garden that’s when Drizella also pulled Cinderella to the garden, the three saw the situation Lady tremaine was talking with the young Duke while the Duke’s mom quarreled with Lady Tremaine . The two lady were fighting when Anastasia stood in between them, suddenly Lady Tremaine shouted,. “ANASTASIA!”. 

“Mom please, stop,why are you fighting?”, Anastasia said

“ Stay away from  my daughter”, Lady Tremaine pointed out to Benjamin

“Mom, actually, I love Benjamin”, Anastasia said as he walked towards Benjamin holding his hand

“Enough with this nonsense Anastasia, let’s go home”, Lady Treamaine

“But why?”, Anastasia asked

*Going back with the story 21 years ago, Lady Tremaine was hailed the most beautiful before that’s the reason why many man like her. One among all the men who liked Lady Tremaine was the duke Benjamin’s  grandfather, and until now the pain of being raped by that scumbag duke make Lady Tremaine feel the pain and humiliation after losing her dignity, her everything. Everyone was shocked by the story even Anastasia, yet Anastasia stayed 

               Lady Tremaine looked at Anastasia and just grlared at her, “you’re now choosing that scumbag over me, fine then”, said Lady Tremaine being disappointed she went back to the castle.

          After that revelation, Lance came over to Cinderella while Claude went to Drizella, the boys comforted the girls until Lance offered Cinderella a dance to forget what happened.

       Lance and Cinderella danced until 12:00 o’clock am and they all took their masks off and everyone got surprised when they saw Prince Claude pretending to be a commoner making Drizella turn red when she realized that she had said many bad things to Claude about the kingdom. On the other side Lancelot was also surprised because Cinderella belongs to the beautiful Gertrude sisters. Cinderella blushed after realizing that Kit is actually a prince.

       After the ball, Claude and Drizella alsoCinderella and Lance’s engagement party was announced. Lance and Cinderella started to create a history when they get married. They had me and big brother Chad wherein we are studying now at Royal Academy. Well for Anastasia,she regretted everything she did to her sisters and thankful because they were still kind to her . Knowing the truth that Benjamin actually love her but he’s trying to forget her because Benjamin’s older brother like Anastasia too, she was more than happy and contented. Knowing about their family’s tragic past they both find it hard because of their Romeo and Juliet story, however everything was settled, Lady Tremaine learned to forgive, and after  that they got married having a son named Anthony

              As to Claude and Drizella, they made the country better. She helped Claude to create an alliance to other kingdoms in France and they even established a Royal Academy for every nobles of different kingdoms to meet and study with each other. They also have a daughter named Dizzy my favorite cousin. What a beautiful happy story but that’s not the end because their story still continues only that they have their own families now.
