Once upon a time, there lived a beautiful and gentle girl. However, her mother had passed away, and because her father remarried, she came to have a new mother and two elder sisters. But all of them were very mean people.

"Cinderella, can't you finish cleaning up a little faster?" The new mother was not pleased with the girl who was prettier than her own daughters. And so she constantly forced harsh chores unto the girl.

Although the girl always wore tattered and dirty clothes, and was not allowed to take baths, she always preserved her own pride in her mind. Because it meant "falling ashes", the girl was always called by the name "Cinderella".

One day, the lady of the mansion decided to hold a ball. Cinderella's two sisters were also invited.

The stepmother very delightedly prepared dresses for the two elder sisters. Of course, she didn't care one bit about Cinderella at all.

Cinderella helped with her sisters' preparations, and saw the three of them off to the ball.

"Cinderella, while we are away at the ball, make sure you clean up our rooms." said the two sisters.

"Yes, Patchouli onee-sama, Flandre onee-sama." replied Cinderella.

Cinderella cleaned up her sisters' rooms just as they requested.

"I'd like to attend the ball too." But Cinderella didn't have a dress nor stuff to go with it, all she had were torn and dirty clothes. Cinderella became sad, and she sobbed and she wept.

"Don't cry, Cinderella."

Just as she was wondering where the voice came from, a blinding light shot towards Cinderella.

And right before Cinderella's eyes there appeared a witch riding on a broomstick.

"Cinderella, you've always been a good girl. As a reward, I'll allow you to go to the ball ze." said the witch.

"First off, we've got to do something about those clothes." And so saying, the witch used magic on Cinderella's clothing.

Under the witch's spell, Cinderella's clothes transformed into a beautiful dress.

"Amazing...!" Cinderella was surprised.

Since it's unfinished... to be continued.
