Fractured Fairytale || Cinderella - 21st Century

Chapter 3

It was the morning before the ball and Cinderella was having breakfast, she had just grabbed her toast from the toaster and had put some butter on. Her phone made a small ding as it laid on the bench and she picked it up, seeing a text from her friend, Elizabeth, -you going to the ball?- Cinderella smiled and replied,
-Yeah ... I have my dress ready. Do you?-
-Ya I do, can't wait to see to see you!-
-Same byee!- Cinderella chuckled at the small conversation she had just had with her friend then checked the calendar after "Wow ... Time flies when you're having fun." She put her phone away and finished off her breakfast. When she was done, she got up and walked over to the tv that was in the lounge room and turned it on, she flicked through the channels fairly quickly and soon found one of her favourite shows, she selected it and watched it while loading the dishwasher. I need to get changed... She told herself and groaned as she headed for her bedroom, she walked inside and searched through her chest-of-draws, soon finding a nice light blue and lavender purple shirt that had 'Never Let Go Of Your D R E A M S' written on it in white and a pair of denim shorts, she also put on a pair of blue and white Nike shoes.

Cinderella went into the bathroom and washed her face in the sink to freshen up and wet her long, blonde hair – she braided her hair and placed a small flower hair clip in. When she was satisfied she walked back out and grabbed her phone, put the password in and checked her Facebook for anything new when suddenly there was another notice written by the prince about the ball, she quickly read it through and shrugged, counting down the hours and smiling softly as she walked around the apartment aimlessly. Her eyes scanned her familiar surroundings and she went out onto the balcony, Cinderella sat down on one of the chairs and looked at the view with the slight breeze blowing her hair about. Cinderella looked down from her balcony and noticed a new park, a small grin grew on her face as she remembered all the memories she had made at her favourites parks so she got up and walked back inside, grabbed her phone and keys and walked out of her apartment, locking it then walked down the quiet hallway, entered a nearby lift and pressed the 'G' button that stood for 'Ground'. When the lift stopped at the free first level, the 'Ground' level, she walked out and down the road toward the park she had noticed but when she got there, her smile disappeared. A note was on the fence saying that the park would not open until March 21 (let's say it's March 15) "Aww man," she whined and walked back down the path, disappointment covered her sad face.

When she around at her door that opened up to her apartment, she grabbed the keys out of her back pocket and slid on of the keys into the lock, unlocking the door. She walked inside and plopped down on the couch thinking of something she could do but nothing came to mind so she turned the tv on with a sigh, flicking through channels. She sees a show that she used to watch as a kid and smiles, clicking on it, it was called 'Miraculous: The Adventures of Ladybug and Cat Noir' (AN: I watch it irl soo yeah it's pretty good and now I'm addicted *lil blush*). She smiles, it was her favourite episode out of the series 'The Evilustrator' Cinderella reclines in her chair and watches as Marinette sits on the boat with the Evilustrator while riding down a river in Paris. She loved the episode because of the Evilustrator's power, to draw whatever he wanted and make it appear, (AN: *Spoiler Alert* *Spoiler Alert*) like making a large plastic tube and trapping Marinette and Cat Noir, but they weren't stuck for long...

Cinderella watches as the 20minute episode comes to an end and she turns her tv off since it was getting late so she walked to the kitchen and made herself dinner, just a small bowl of noodles since she lived on her own and wasn't very hungry. She suddenly realised she also hadn't had any lunch and blushed slightly, thinking about the ball tomorrow wait I have to get to bed..! She tells herself glancing at the clock, it was 9:23pm and a Saturday night but she was tired and thought she would need the extra energy tomorrow for the ball but then she started thinking again, what about that family next door? I should really catch up with them before the ball since that's what nice neighbours do she bit her lip and continued to think about the woman who lived in the room next to her with her two children but then Cinderella had finished her noodles and was heading to her room.

When she was inside she closed the blinds and turned the light on the quickly got changed into sunset coloured pjs, she turned the light off, crawled over to her bed and turned the light off then slowly closed her eyes and drifted off into a deep sleep.
During the night she dreamt about happy things like the ball and the. Miraculous Ladybug episode that was on tv, honestly, she couldn't wait for the ball...
