STORY STARTER

Submitted by Museful Heart

Write a story about what would have happened if Cinderella had not lost her shoe.

If the Shoe Fits

Cinderelly, Cinderelly

Night and day it's Cinderelly

Make the fire, fix the breakfast

Wash the dishes, do the mopping

And the sweeping and the dusting

They always keep her hopping

Then announced in spring

By order of the King

A ball for maidens of the land

The prince must find a wife

After a mended dress and Fairy Godmother's touch

Cinderella's ready for the best night of life

But this particular version of the tale

Alters one slight yet crucial detail

For at the stroke of midnight when the bells rang out

Carriages turned to pumpkins and horses to mice

Cinderella's mad dash was complete with both shoes

But what happens when we roll that dice?

Maybe after her magical night

Cinderella found her wings and flew to the light

The light being the prince, the honoree of the ball

Under the moon glow she made her great escape

From the under Lady Tremaine's wretched grip

Upon her arrival, just like at the ball, the Prince spun her into a dip

On the other hand, of course

The status quo could have been the winning force

The Tremaine's continue to inflict their misery

While the Prince mourns the one who got away

Many years pass, the Prince's life will go on

But he spares thought for his mystery princess and hopes she's okay

So I suppose we can never really know

If Cinderella's fate really would have changed or how so

Was she destined to be stuck as a servant forever?

Was her royal, happy ending still in the cards?

Questions that will always remained unanswered

Cause her shoes slipped off as she raced past the guards
