Rewriting of fairy tails By Courts1234 and Samantha

__Rewrite__ Once upon a time there was a beautiful young women called Cinders she lives in a castle in Princeton with her father, she doesn’t know this though while she was away with her mother her father got re married to this evil witch, no one knows that shes a witch.

When Cinders got home from being with her mother she saw this strange women in the house with her two daughter Fredrina and Willamina and Beitris said to Cinders “Meet your new stepmother and stepsisters, you will be your stepsisters slave” said Beitris.

Then that night Cinders did all their washing, gave them manicures, made them dinner and washed their dishes, Cinders was so miserable being their slave she just wanted to be like any other young women having fun and going to balls.

The next day there was an invitation for the ball delivered to the castle Cinders was the one to open it, she was ever so excited about going to the ball until Beitris said “You are not going to the ball you will stay here and help Fredrina and Willamina get ready, when they leave for the ball you will clean the whole house and that includes the fireplace.”

After Cinders had cleaned the kitchen she went and took the food scraps to the compost outside next to the garden of roses. On her way inside she walked into Trixie her fairy godmother “hello” I say “Why aren't you at the ball?” she says “um my stepmother said so” “Well you will be going to this ball tonight, go and get me seven mice and a pumpkin.” So Cinders went and got the mice and pumpkin and when she came back Trixie turned the six mice into horses and the seventh mice into the coachman and the pumpkin into the carriage and turned Cinders old ratted clothes into the most beautifulest dress you could ever see. There was something that Trixie also told Cinders it was that she must leave the ball at midnight as that is when the spell wears off.

When Cinders arrived at the ball everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at her in amazement then when her stepsisters and mother saw her they didn’t recognise her, when the prince laid his eyes on her he couldn’t stop looking he went over to her and asked her “would you care to dance with me my beautiful” Cinder replied “ Yes I would love to dance with you.”

The clock struck midnight and Cinders fled the ball only to leave one glass slipper behind. When she left Goldie, Bacon, Pork Chops and Lasagna came in break dancing and ruined the whole ball, at the end of the ball all the prince could do was laugh, laugh and laugh, he couldn’t stop laughing and he ended up in hospital with Laughingitious and he was in the hospital for a couple days and was on no laughing gas.

When the prince got out of the hospital he went on an expedition to find who the glass slipper belongs to, he went all over Princeton and the last place was where Cinders lives. Both Willamina and Fredrina tried on the glass slipper only to find that their foot was to big for the slipper when it came to Cinders her foot was the right size, but to the princes disappointment Cinders did not want to marry him, she was happy just being at home with her father and unfortunately Beitris, Willamina and Fredrina were there which made her whole life a lot harder.

Cinders father Freddy found out about Beitris was a witch and told her to make Cinders pretty. When Beitris makes Cinders pretty again Freddy tells Beitris that he no longer wants to be with her after they way she has treated his one and only child that is like a precious gem to him. Beitris, Willamina and Fredrina all leave Princeton to find another single father.

In the end Goldie and Bobby ended up getting married and adopting Pork Chops, Bacon and Lasagna they also had twins and called then Hansel the Gretal

Comments Sacha:I really like the idea of the fairy tale and you must of had a good imagination. The names of the characters were cool, you need to put more adjectives and smiles because in the middle it started to get boring. And very good grammar.

Joseph:Like the story good grammar don’t know what else too say.
