When the clock struck at Midnight, the magic began. It entered the house making the owl come to life and attracted the mice and lizards causing a ruckus in the house, Lastly the magic swirled around the cowboy he too comes to life to fight the intruders. "Insolent Creatures!"
Cinderella wales up to see a mouse eating a biscuit. " Get away from there Shoo Shoo!"
The Cowboy was struggling to fight the enemies. "Back off, you disgusting freaks!"
Cinderella though the situation ridiculous, " I mist be dreaming."
Two mice guards appeared before the Mouse King, named Padriac Ratigan.
"Even as a doll, you're are a thorn in my side."
"And i thorn to you i shall remain!" The cowboy replied bravely before dropping a vase on Ratigan.
The two of them continued to fight until Ratigan turned his scepter into an axe.
"Its time i turned you into something more useful. Like Firewood.
Cinderella stopped his plan,she was holding the vase from earlier planning to catch him. "Not in my house." She said about to catch him.
Ratigan was having none it. "Meddling human, towering tall let my scepter shrink you small."
"Look out!" The cowboy warned Cinderella.
Cinderella shrunk as Ratigan's scepter aimed at her.
After she was shrunk, she backed out "This is not good." Cinderella said as she tried to understand what happened to her.
The cowboy comes to rescue her kicking Ratigan and the fight continued.
The creatures growled at the cowboy. "Can you make it to the mantle?" He said trying to distract the soldiers.
At first Cinderella refuses, "There is no way... but after seeing the soldiers, she changed her mind. I'm staying down there." She climbed on to the mantle using the garland. She climbed onto the mantle and watched the fight continue.
"You've got nowhere to run, Cowboy. Refusing to give up, he he climbs on the garland. "Your not going to get away from me this time. Unless you'd like to feed the fire."
Ratigan proceeds to kill the cowboy by turning his scepture into a bow. Cinderella stopped his plan once again "Hey, up here!" by throwing her slipper right in Ratigan's face.
Ratigan fainted on the floor and the soldiers proceeded to go back from where they came from. "Come on."
Cinderella's Garland was falling. "Uh oh, Look out!" She screamed and the two them landed on the sofa.
"Thank you for saving my life. And for your superior nursing skills." The cowboy thanked her and gave her a feather.
Cinderella welcomed him and looked around the room "This has to be a dream."
"I'm afraid it's all too real." He said retrieving his pickaxe. "And I got to return to Fedelita while i have the chance."
Cinderella asked him, "Well then, would you mind turning me back before you go? Remember? I used to be taller."
He couldn't turn her back and responded. "I'm afraid only the Sugarplum Princess can reverse Ratigan's plan."
"The Sugarplum Princess?" Cinderella questioned.
"Yes. I've been trying to find her since he turned me into a toy." He explained.
Cinderella unstood, "You mean, you used to be ...
"Not a toy." The cowboy ended her speech.
The owl flew around the room and spoke, "Perhaps I can help. You will find the Sugarplum Princess on an island, across the sra of storms.
"But it's impossible to cross the sea of storms." The Cowboy skeptically said.
The owl agreed, It's dangerous yes, But not impossible" She said confidently.
The cowboy walks to the Mouse hole. "Well are you coming? He asked.
Cinderella looked at the hole. "Me? with you? In there? I don't think so."
The owl convinced her, "Surely you don't want to spend the rest of your life the size of a mouse?"
Cinderella looks at herself in the spoon as a mirror, " how do I get back? She questioned.
The owl flew to grab the locket from the neck of the princess ornament and dropped it to Cinderella.
"Once you found the Sugarplum Princess, open the locket, and you'll return to your normal size." After explaining to her, she flew back to the clock and froze to her original position.
