They are surprised by your sudden affection, but appreciate it and say they love you too. You feel so content and happy. Everything is perfect. [[Almost too perfect...]]

You tell them about the time that you were getting water to wash your clothes and then a frog jumped out and scared you half to death so you dropped the bucket of water and fell on your face. You assure them that you didn't get injured, the situaion only hurt your pride because the most handsome boy in the villiage saw the whole situation go down. You all laugh together.

You enter her cottage and there are whimsical crystals and potions everywhere. You think "maybe this was a bad idea..." but you continue to listen because you are desperate. She hads you a sheet of paper with questions written on it and asks you to answer them. They were MATCHMAKING questions. It asks you many questions about your dad and what he wants in a relationship. One questions sticks out to you... does he want a tall woman or a short woman...? Well he loved your mom very much and she was much taller than him...? But would he be complelled to compare his new wife to your mother if they were too similar...? [[Pick a tall woman.->Pick a tall woman.]] [[Pick a short woman.]]

Your father seems to fall in love with her fairly quickly. They get married and have a beautiful cottage wedding with lots of wine and lots of food. Although you are weary of her, you just want him to be happy and if this will help, then you are going to support him. She is nice to you, probably for the sake of your father, but regardless, he seems happier than ever and that is what matters. [[You decide to read a book in your free time]] [[you decided to hang out with friends in your free time]]

Your dad gets matched with a short woman and she is everything he could have dreamed of. She was snarky and clever as well as kindhearted and compassionate. They were so happy and fell in love so fast because of their instant chemistry. Your dad got better in every way. He was healthier and happier than ever. You are so happy for them. You know your dad loves boating so you have a special boat made for them with their names on it for their anniversary and they ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. You let them choose its name. [[They name it after your mother- S.S. Juliette->Lose 8]] [[They name it S.S. Love Boat->lose 7]]

You all go for a ride in S.S. Love Boat and it is magical. The water is so beautiful and clear that you can see all of the fish and underwater plants. The sun is shining bright and the birds are chirping. Life is good... Until a storm rolls in. The once bright and sunny sky was now dark as night with clouds, the still water becomes monstrous waves and you are scared. Your father and step mother hold you and tell you they love you. You feel safe in their arms as the boat crashes hard into a large boulder. Time slows down and you see your mother's loving face. You see the beautiful memories of innocent childhood and reckless adolescence. All of these beautiful memories fade to black in the matter of seconds. The S.S. Love Boat is completely wrecked and you and your parents have entered eternal rest. They write about you in the newspaper a week later. The headline of the newspaper is about the prince's ball which takes up a majority of the paper, but you and your family had a single sentence in the end section. "Widowed father with daughter and new wife die tragic death in boat crash due to storm". THE END

You all go for a ride in S.S. Juliette and it is magical. The water is so beautiful and clear that you can see all of the fish and underwater plants.

Juliette is completely wrecked and you and your parents have entered eternal rest. You do not make it in the newspaper and no one in town seems to care at all. They all just talk about the prince's ball. THE END

You are bored and decide to read a book. You pick your mother's favorite book: Don Quixote. You find a little nook in one of the hallways of the mansion next to a window. It is very comfortable and you can hear the birds chirping through the window. You begin to read "Somewhere in La Mancha, in a place whose name I do not care to remember, a gentleman lived not long ago, one of those who has a lan-" you hear a scream. Adrenaline fills your blood and you jump up and run to see what was wrong. Your father is face down on the ground and your step-mother is panicking. He apparently had a heart attack. The doctors came to try to help, but he died immediately. He is gone. [[Now your only guardian is your step-mom]]

You meet up with some of your friends and you visit your special place: the pond by your house. You guys skip rocks and ponder the meaning of life. You watch the sunset together and once the sun goes down, you look at constellations. You spot the Cassiopeia constellation and it reminds you of your mother. You used to look at constellations with her often, she taught you about all of the constellations and their meanings. The Cassiopeia constellation represents the boastful queen Cassiopeia, wife of Cepheus and mother of Andromeda in Greek mythology. Cassiopeia claimed that she was more beautiful than the Nereids, and the nymphs asked the sea god Poseidon to punish the queen for her vanity. Poseidon sent the sea mon- your friend tries to get your attention. He says it is very late and you should get home and you agree. You walk home and greeted with a scream. Adrenaline fills your blood and you jump up and run to see what was wrong. Your father is face down on the ground and your step-mother is panicking. He apparently had a heart attack. The doctors came to try to help, but he died immediately. He is gone. [[Now your only guardian is your step-mom]]

The matchmaker sets your father up with a rich woman who has two daughters around your age. You are excited for your dad to fall in love again and to have two sisters in your life now! You meet them and they seem nice enough. You notice that the daughters are very spoilied, but you don't judge them. The woman seems nice, she hits it off with your dad very well. She seems to be a little bossy, but your dad seems to enjoy the companionship regardless. She treats you well, she isn't compassionate and kind like your mother, but you are happy that [[she is making your father a little happier->Connection]]

You lament your fathers death and fall into a deep depression. Nothing feels real anymore. You are in this mansion with 3 other people who you don't know that well and the two people that mattered to you most are just.... gone. For days you struggle to get out of bed. You can't eat or sleep, you just lay there ruminating about everything that has happened. After a few days, your step mom come in the room. You expect her to bring food and kind words, but she barges in with a bucket and a sponge. "GET UP! WHY HAVE YOU BEEN SO LAZY?? THIS HOUSE WON'T CLEAN ITSELF! WAH WAH YOUR DAD IS DEAD- SO WHAT? HE WAS MY HUSBAND! HOW DO YOU THINK I FEEL?" Her exclaimation was accompanied by theatrical hand gestures and her voice was riddled with absolute insincerity. You realize that she won't be pretening to be nice to you anymore now that your dad is dead... [[You stand up to her and tell her you won't clean]] [[You grab the bucket and sponge]]

She slaps you and tells you that you don't have a choice, either you clean or she will lock you in the basement and leave you to starve. [[you don't really have a choice, so you just clean..->cleanin]]

You are infuriated at her actions and words, but think about how she must also be going through a tough time. She is letting you live in her home so [[you can clean if she wants you to clean->cleanin]]

You clean the whole house with a smile on your face. Your step-sisters mock you as they talk about their beautiful dresses. You ignore them and continue your cleaning. As you were mopping the main hallway, the mention of a ball hosted by the prince catches your attention. [[You put the mop down and listen in]] [[You mind your own business and continue to clean->lose 4]]

"The King is trying to find a Queen for his prince, so they are throwing a huge ball to try to find the perfect gal. All of the women from the entire village are expected to be there so he can pick the woman of his dreams!" You hear this and now have an ouce of hope. You don't think the prince will pick you, but you are excited at the though of wearing a beautiful dress and going to an elegant ball. You continue cleaning while daydreaming about the perfect dress to wear. Hmm what color would it be???? [[Pink]] [[Blue]]

You finish cleaning everything and go to tell your step-mother. She notices that you forgot to polish one of the floor tiles and screams at you telling you to clean the whole house again. You refuse to re-clean the house but that doesn't sit well with step-mom. She banishes you to the basement to leave you to starve. You sit and imagine what it would be like to be one of those beautiful women like your step-sisters at the beautiful ball dancing with the prince. All you can do is sit there and imagine because no matter how hard you tried, you would never get to be one of them. You are alone in the world and there is no hope left for you. All you can do is sit and try to use your imagination to stifle the hunger pangs as you slowly fade away. You sit in the cold basement and just try very very hard to continue imagining what the ball would be like. You imagine a fairy godmother who uses her magic to give you a beautiful blue gown and you ride to the ball in a pumpkin that had been turned into a beautiful carriage. At the ball the prince falls in love with you and you live happily ever after. Then, you open your eyes and laugh at the absurdity of your imagination. Fairy godmother? Pumpkin carriage? You must be going insane already. This is real life, not a fairytale.... THE END

You imagine a dreamy and elegant pink dress that you can wear. As you finish up your cleaning, you spot a curtain made of a beautiful pink satin and have the idea to make your dress out of this curtain. It is a room your step mother and step sisters hardly go in, so they won't miss it. Once you are done cleaning, you grab the curtain and bring it to your room. You also gather sewing tools and a few other fabrics that you found around the house to add detail to the dress. You begin to cut up the fabric to make your dream dress. You realize that you need help and can't do this all on your own because the ball is tomorrow.

You imagine a dreamy and elegant blue dress that you can wear. You search the whole house and can not find a blue fabric anywhere. You feel sad because blue was your mother's favorite color and it was the color that makes you feel safe. Apparently the only colors they have in this house are pinks, purples, and reds... you need to decide on a different color dress. [[Pink dress]] [[Purple dress]] [[Red dress]]

Your step mother laughs in your face. She then gets angry with you about how disrespectful you are. The rips up all of your fabric and slaps you in the face calling you selfish, naive, stupid, and worthless. She tells you that you forgot to polish one of the floor tiles and screams at you telling you to clean the whole house again. You refuse to re-clean the house and that doesn't sit well with your step-mom. She banishes you to the basement to leave you to starve.

Your step sisters just laugh in your face. They get their mom and tell her what you have been up to. She then gets angry with you about how disrespectful you are.

You work very hard to make your dress what you envisioned it would look like. As the night progresses and your dress takes a lot longer than anticipated, some kind helpers show up to give you a hand! MICE! Cute little mice in little hats come to help you make your dress. Together, you are moving at a pace so fast that you think it might be done on time. Some of the mice do the cutting while others sew. You work on the details and the beading. After only a few more hours, you have the dress of your dreams. You look at yourself in the mirror, tears streaming down your face because you feel happy but also wish your parents could see you now. You wipe away the tears and thank the kind mice. Oh! You almost forgot the main finishing touch- [[Your mother's pearl earrings]] [[Your mother's pearl necklace]]

You grab the elegant earrings that you had seen your mother wear on a daily basis. They were a gift to her from your dad, so she cherished them dearly. Wearing them feels like both of your parents are with you and it feels very comforting and safe. [[You have a good feeling about everything]]

You grab the elegant necklace that you had seen your mother wear on a daily basis. They were just some pearls on a string, but they were so much more to you. They were a gift to you mother from your dad, so she cherished them dearly. Wearing it feels like both of your parents are with you and it feels very comforting and safe. [[You have a good feeling about everything]]

It is almost time for the ball so you need to hurry. You run up the stairs and you run into your stepsisters in their ridiculous gowns and makeup. They look at you in disgust and laugh at you hysterically. They attack you and tear up your dress. They rip off your sleeves, tear off the bow and ruin the jewelry that belonged to your mother. After they completely ruin the dress that you had spent hours making, you now sit in tears. All of the hope you had gained is lost. Your step-sisters continued to laugh and pranced away on their way to the ball in the hopes of the prince choosing one of them as his bride. Your step-mom shows up and tells you to stop crying and to clean up the mess that your step-sisters made. [[You do as she says]] [[You stand up to her->Lose 9]]

You pick up the torn cloth and beads from your dress. You just want to give up. How could you even think that you had a chance to go to a the prince's ball. You weren't blessed with riches like the other girls, you were just a poor man's daughter and, at this point, essentially a maid for a rich family. You are alone and have no one that loves you, so how could the prince love you? You finish cleaning up and sit in your torn up gown crying once again. [[You go eat an apple to help you feel better]] [[You go outside to get some fresh air->You go check to see where the noise is coming from.]]

You refuse to clean up after them, but that doesn't sit well with step-mom. She tells you how ridiculuous it is that you even though that the prince might want you and slaps you. She banishes you to the basement to leave you to starve. You sit and imagine what it would be like to be one of those beautiful women like your step-sisters at the beautiful ball dancing with the prince.

As you enter the kitchen, you see a framed picture of your father. You have never seen this picture of him. How did this strange woman have this? Why have you not seen this? In the photo, your father has a stupid grin. He was such a jokester, you suspect that he had just pulled a prank on someone or made a silly joke about apples. Apples he had such a thing about apples. He always thought they were the best fruit because of the saying "an apple a day keeps the doctors away" more like an apple a day keeps everyone away because they always gave him indigestion- that is why he always made jokes about them. He loved apples but we refused to let him eat them. Apples... Apples... OH yeah you went to get an apple. You find a shiny red apple in the basket and take a big bite. It tastes like any apple, but feels especially refreshing after the horrible day you have had. You continue to eat it when you hear a noise outside. [[You go check to see where the noise is coming from.]]

Right outside your house, you see a figure and you are feeling nervous. Who is that? You approach the person... The woman turns around and you see her kind face, something seems special about her. You say "hello?" and her face lights up. "IT'S YOU! I AM YOUR FAIRY GODMOTHER AND I AM HERE TO SAVE THE DAY! I KNOW YOU WANT TO GO TO THE BALL TO MEET THE PRINCE! YOUR KIND HEART AND SELF-LESSNESS HAS LED ME TO YOU! I WILL MAKE ALL OF YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE WITH A BIPPETY BOPPITY BOOP!". You sit in absolute shock. Are you imagining this??? There is no way a magical woman is here trying to "make your dreams come true". You sit in silence and she begins to laugh "I'M SORRY MY DARLING, I DIDN'T MEAN TO STARTLE YOU! I AM HERE TO SAVE THE DAY! YOU WANT TO GO TO THE BALL AND I WILL MAKE THAT HAPPEN FOR YOU! I KNOW YOU ARE PROBABLY THINKING THAT THIS IS CRAZY, JUST TRUST ME!". [[Trust her?]] [[Freak out and leave->lose 10]]

You grab her hand and follow her to some pumpkins. You are confused but she reassures you. "WITH A BIPPETY BOPPITY BOOP THESE ORANGE PUMPKINS WILL TURN INTO A BEAUTIFUL HORSE DRAWN CARRIAGE! BIPPETY BOPPITY BOOP!" She was right, the little orange pumpkins changed form and became a beautiful glistening carriage right before your eyes! You are so excited! Until you look down at the tattered dress that you were wearing. Your fairy godmother could read your face and with a BIPPETY BOPPITY BOOP you were now in the most beautiful blue gown you had ever seen. It had sparkles and every detail was exactly what you wanted. This beautiful gown was accompanied by delicate crystal glass slippers and they fit you just right. You feel so happy and beautiful and you are so ready and excited to go to the ball! "BUT BEFORE YOU GO, I NEED TO WARN YOU. THE MAGIC WILL ONLY LAST UNTIL MIDNIGHT SO WHEN THE CLOCK STRIKES 12, EVERYTHING WILL GO BACK TO NORMAL. THE CARRIAGE BACK TO A PUMPKIN AND YOUR DRESS BACK TO RAGS. I WISH YOU THE BEST OF LUCK AND HAVE A MAGICAL EVENING MY DEAR!" You thank her and give her the biggest hug. [[She sends you on your way]]

This can't actually be happeing. What is going on. Are you going crazy? Did your step-mom plan this? You storm off and go inside the house to hide. You go to the basment to make sure no one follows and hid in a room. You hear footsteps coming down the stairs and adrenaline floods yours system. You try to be as silent as possible as the footsteps get closer and closer to you. Your heart is racing as you hear the footsteps come to a halt. You hold your breath. A voice from the other side of the door says your name. You remain silent. You can feel your heartbeat in your fingers and toes and you cannot hold your breath any longer. You let out a gasp that was way louder than anticipated. The door handle starts to jiggle, but you lock the door right away and sit in the corner covering your ears and hyperventilating. You tell yourself over and over again "There is no fairy godmother, you were never going to be able to go to the ball, you are completely alone in this world, no one loves you, why would the prince ever love you, you are a complete failure, you are going insane, you are going insane, you are going insane." You rock back and forth repeating this over and over again. You never leave the basement, or even that room. You stay locked in repeating those words until you breathe your last breath. THE END

You ride the carriage to the ball and everything is wonderful. Once you get there, you enter the castle and all eyes are on you. Women and men both gasp at the sight of your beauty... even THE PRINCE. You walk down the velvet stairs [[with elegance]] [[and trip over you glass slippers]]

You lock eyes with the prince and you can see that he in awe just like everyone else. This can not be real life. [[An announcement calls all of the women to line up before the prince]]

The prince comes over to help you up and asks "Are you alright?" You are instantly flushed with complete and utter embarassment. He must think you are so stupid... You tell him that you are okay and thank him for helping you up. He grabbs your hand and instantly you can feel the eyes of the other women poking at the back of your head. Soon after [[An announcement calls all of the women to line up before the prince]]

You stand in the middle of the line and see your stepsisters. They don't seem to recognize you so you feel relieved. The announcer calls up each woman from the line. We are supposed to dance with him and get to know hima and at the end he will pick the woman he wants to marry. You are up soon and start to feel nervous. You feel out of place. You are nothing like the other girls, there is no way th- "will the next woman in the blue dress now dance with the prince" OH NO, it's your turn, you walk up to him and begin to dance. Instantly, it feels like magic. You lock eyes and naturaly sync up perfectly with the waltz. You have small talk, but that turns into a deep conversation about your favorite books and philospohers. You both have the same favorite book. Life feels too good to be true in this moment and then your time is done. He dances with the rest of the women, but keeps on looking at you. After he is done, he comes up to you so he can talk more. You danced again and felt close to him, that was until you saw the clock! It is 11:59! [[You stay and let him see the real you->lose 11]] [[You apologize and run to your carriage]]

30 more seconds until the magic will wear off and you could not care less. You know that the chemistry that you two have could not be changed by him knowing your reality, he will love you for you. 10 seconds. You both embrace in a kiss and everything feels good in the world, it just feels right. 3...2...1.. DING DONG DING DONG. It was midnight and just as your fariy godmother had warned you about, your dress turned into rags once again and your glass slippers became bare feet. The prince was shocked and could not comprehend what had just happened in front of him. His loving and kind demeanor had sharply changed to a look of disgust and anger. "Are you a peasant?" His words stabbed deep into your heart. He was not the man that you thought he was. He pushes you away and tells the guards to take you away. "I have no clue how this peasant managed to get into the ball! I think it was witchcraft! She looked like a beautiful maiden but in the blink of the eye she turned into THIS". He pointed at you and you began to cry. The guards take you away. You are to be punished for witchcraft... burned at the steak. Your step-mother and step-sisters forget about you. THE END

You run as fast as you can, so fast that one of your glass slippers fall off, but you can't do anything about it, you must continue. You make it to your carriage and ride as fast as possible. On your way home the carriage begins to turn back into a pumpkin so you jump out and your dress turns back into rags. You are back where you started, but this time you are hopeful. The prince seemed to love you and you loved him as well. When you get home, your step-mom yells "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN" [[Tell her the truth]] [[Say you were just taking a late night stroll]]

She doesn't believe you. "WHERE WOULD YOU HAVE GOTTEN A DRESS??? YOU ARE STILL WEARING YOUR TORN UP DRESS AND YOU ARE COVERED IN MUD! WE WOULD HAVE NOTICED A RAT AT THE BALL AND WE DIDN'T SEE YOU AT ALL" You try to explain, but she cuts you off "GO CLEAN THE ENTIRE HOUSE AND YOU BETTER LIKE IT" [[So you do as she says...]]

She yells at you for going out so late. "I DONT WANT OTHERS TO THINK THAT WE LET YOU WALK LATE AT NIGHT, ESPECIALLY LOOKING LIKE A RAT" She forces you to clean the entire house. [[So you do as she says...]]

You clean and clean and clean for days on end. You constantly hear mumbling about the prince and a wife and you assume that he had chosen someone to wed. You aren't allowed to leave the house or talk to anyone, so you have no way of knowing what is happening. You are back to feeling completely hopeless but remember that you mother was the strongest woman you know and you want to be like her. "Days may seems completely and utterly hopeless, but a smile on your face and a positive attitude will bring better days to come". So you do as you are told and try to be as positive as you can. [[Weeks later you hear a knock on the door]]

You are about to open it when your step-mother admonishes you to the basement, so you do as you're told. You remain downstairs but listen through the door. A male voice delivers a message "The prince had found his princess the night of the ball, but she had left unexpectedly in a hurry, all he has left of her is a single tiny glass slipper, a slipper that is suited to fit only one foot. The prince has requested that every woman in the villiage try on the glass slipper and when the slipper fits just right, we have found his soon to be wife". You are shocked, the prince had chosen YOU. You didn't know what to do. You could hear your step-sisters attempt to fit their mammoth feet into the slipper and failing horribly. The men are about to leave so you need to act fast. [[You open the basement door and let them know that you live here too]] [[You stay quiet in the basement->lose 12]]

They look surprised, but unamused. They begin to walk towards you with the slipper, but your step-mother cuts them off and says "You don't want to let her try, there is no way it could be her. She wasn't at the ball, she will just soil that beautiful glass slipper". Thankfully, the men ignore her and just look annoyed as they push past her to give you the slipper. The delicately put the slipper on you and... IT FITS JUST RIGHT! Everyone gasps and your step-mother has a heart attack and dies on the spot. You are so happy! About her death and about the prince! They bring you to the castle and he marries you right away. You have never been happier and this us a dream come true! .... you live happily ever after! THE END

This is a stupid plan so you die instantly THE END
