...There was a young boy named CinderMarco. He lived in a small house with his evil stepmother, Brittney, and his two stepbrothers, Jeremy and Oskar. Over the years, Brittney and her sons treated CinderMarco like a servant and forced him to wear rags and do all of the chores around the house, which made CinderMarco's life a misery. However, he kept a secret hope in his heart that this nightmare would finally end and he could be happy at last.
One day while CinderMarco was scrubbing the floor, there was a knock at the door. Oskar and Jeremy fought each other to answer it, but CinderMarco ended up answering the door anyway. On the doorstep was a small goblin-like creature wearing a hotel employee uniform; she was sweating and breathing heavily.
"Can I help you?" CinderMarco asked.
"Hi, I'm a messenger from the palace. Are you the man of the house?" The creature asked.
"Him? Man of the house?" Brittney scoffed as she roughly shoved CinderMarco out of the way. "Oh, NO WAY! He's just a servant. So, you're a palace messenger, eh?" Jeremy and Oskar joined their mother.
"Yes, I have a telegram for you." The messenger said as she finally caught her breath.
"A telegram?" Oskar asked.
"That's right." The messenger took a deep breath and began to sing.
"As of now, you are cordially invited
To a ball at the palace in honor of the Princess
It's for the Princess to find herself a husband
So please RSVP us by midnight tomorrow
Sincerely, Their Majesties the King and Queen"
Jeremy, Oskar, and Brittney all looked at each other in shock before they all started to cheer.
"We're going to a ball! We're going to a ball!" Jeremy and Oskar sang.
"That's right. The ball is this Friday and it starts at 7:00. Don't be late." The messenger said before disappearing in a puff of pale blue smoke.
Brittney closed the door and looked at her sons. "Boys, we've just been invited to a ball at the palace! Do you know what that means?"
Oskar scratched his head in thought before saying, "...No."
Jeremy kicked him in the shin. "You moron! It means that we'll get to meet the Princess!"
"That's right, Jeremy." Brittney said proudly. "And if you boys play your cards right, she'll choose one of you as her suitor!"
"Maybe even me?" CinderMarco asked, stepping forward.
Brittney, Jeremy, and Oskar stared at CinderMarco in shock; CinderMarco nervously grinned as they all glared darkly at him.
"YOU?!" They asked in unison.
"Are you crazy?! What would a beautiful and powerful Princess want with a scrawny, dorky loser like you?" Jeremy scoffed.
"Come on, guys. He can come with us, can't he?" Oskar said, trying to be nice to his stepbrother.
"Yeah, can't I go?" CinderMarco asked.
"Mom, are you listening to this?! You can't let him go with us! He'll just cramp our style! It's not fair!" Jeremy whined as he violently grabbed Oskar's arm and pulled him towards him.
"Don't be ridiculous, CinderMarco." Brittney scoffed at her stepson, folding her arms. "We all know my own sons are handsome enough to win the Princess's heart. Face it, CinderMarco. You'll always be a lowly servant and nothing more."
