\\ Cinderella-ish \\

"30th annual kaibara high school culture festival. a threat letter?" Hiro mumbled to himself as he stood beside Kisa who read the sign to your school. "The entrance looks like a huge prank." He added, as Kisa laughed at his small joke. You and Haru quietly snuck up behind the two of them, before Haru hoisted Kisa up, holding her in his arms. She let out a squeal, before realizing it was just Haru. "Hi, Kisa! Hi, Hiro!"

"Careful. The excitements making everyone more assertive." Haru said, as you ruffled Kisa's hair fondly. "You say that but you're the one who scared her, Haru." You say, as Kisa wrapped her around Haru'sa shoulder, stuffing her head into the crook of his neck in embarrassment. "Hey! Kisa, Hiro!" Momiji yelled, greeting the two with a bright smile. Momiji showed up recording in a video camera you had lent him, "The plays starting soon. Let's go!"

"You guys better be careful not to bump into anyone!" Momiji advised, lecturing the two of them. "What play are they doing again?" Hiro asked, walking beside you instead of Momiji or Hiro. "It's cinderella-ish!" You say, as Hiro turned to you, with a puzzled look. "What do you mean by "cinderella-ish?" Hiro mumbled as Momiji turned back, "It's cinderella-ish!"

"I'm asking what "-ish" means!" Hiro yelled as you let out a laugh at his frustration. "It's just cinderalla-ish." Haru responded, annoying Hiro even more.. however Hiro was soon about to find out that "Cinderella-ish" was the title itself. "(Name)-nee, you're not in the play?" Kisa asked, turning towards you as you shook your head. "Nah, me and the others are in different classes. But~! we can visit my classroom so i can show you what we're doing after the play!"

"Once upon a time, there was a beautiful girl named Cinderella." The narrator announced, as the crowd went quiet, the lights dimming, and a single spotlight flashed on the narrator. "Due, to various reasons, Cinderella was constantly tormented by her stepmother and stepsister." The narrator said, as the curtains opened, revealing the set of a house.

"Cinderella! Where did you go, Cinderella?" The stepmother, a fan of Yuki's, asked, as Tohru followed behind her playing the role of the stepsister. "She's the evil stepmom!" You say, pointing at Tohru eagerly as Momiji recorded everything from beside you. "She looks so cute!" Kisa said, adoring how she looked in a dress. "Have you finished the dresses, Cinderella. The castle ball takes place tonight!" The step mother asked searching through the house.

"I'm right here." Hanajima Saki, a good friend of Tohru's and now even yours, said as she sipped on tea. "What're you doin' leisurely sippin tea?!" The stepmother yelled, pointing accusingly at Cinderella. "You'd better have the dresses finished if you're givin' me that attitude!" The stepmother continued to yell, as the stepsister attempted to calm down her mother. "M-mother.." Tohru said, pulling her away from cinemderalla.

"An amateur like me couldn't make a dress. Go ahead and wear ugly dresses. You're sure to get some laughs." Cinderella said, continuing to sip on her tea. "I don't want laughs! That won't help advance the story!" The stepmother yelled, as Cinderella glanced at her stepsister. "Anyway, sister, won't you have some tea with me?" Cinderella asked, patting the empty spot beside her as the stepsister smiled, "Could I?"

The crowd stared in astonishment at how much of a boss cinderella was, compared to the original story. The two began to sip on tea, as the step mother complained in the back. "The castle ball was that night. It was rumored that the prince would search for a bride at the ball." The narrator explained, as the backdrop changed slightly, now showing a faraway castle. "So, the stepmother was eager to have her daughter marry into a rich family to give herself a comfortable life."
