    "Excuse me... Anastasia? I have a favor I must ask of you. May I please borrow one of your dresses to wear to the ball? I promise to double up on my chores for your graciousness!"

    4jXsfRS.png

    "Sure thing Princess. I'll help you find something to wear to the ball. But certainly not something of mine!"

    WdRqTSM.png

    Cindy could not believe her ears!! Did Anastasia truly agree to helping her out for once?!

    trDqWEO.png

    Lady Tremaine also could not believe her ears.

    LakCe7f.png

    Although not quite catching all the details of their conversation, Lady Tremaine was not pleased.

    jydLq2t.png

    Why was Anastasia even speaking to that wretch instead of giving her commands?

    pZb0MtJ.png

    Lady Tremaine tried to get closer to hear a trigger word that would force her to bring their conversation to a swift end.

    FfzsQsS.png

    Cindy wasn't sure if she could fully trust Anastasia, but it wasn't like she had much else to lose!

    EQZt1dJ.png

    Whatever was going on, the Lady would be keeping a close eye on those two.

    Aside from laundry the Lady has decided to increase Cinderella's chores in other ways by sabotaging the plumbing around the house.

    "Psst! Cinderella are you awake?"

    y3TS0u0.png

    "Sure am!" Cindy giggled, "I could hardly sleep."

    "Great. Let's go quickly before Mother and Drizella take note of our absence!"

    It was early in the morning and Anastasia brought Cinderella to a fashion boutique.

    "First things first, all that blue has got to go."

    osVR15V.png

    Cindy wasn't quite sure what she was talking about.

    C6qibnn.png

    "Don't look at me all confused. I'm talking about your go-to color for clothing. You wear too much blue!"

    JT2d073.png

    "But blue is my favorite color."

    W9HWYXp.png

    "Take me for example. I always wear pink because it is the superior color. You want to look as good as me right?"

    CK3EIOT.png

    "Yeah... Sure..."

    jmeJlrO.png

    "Of course you do! Now follow me."

    "It's time for your fitting, princess." Anastasia sneered.

    oA2hoyQ.png

    Cindy went to try the outfits Anastasia had selected for her.

    S1uj891.png

    The first one felt a little tight.

    Vo9cRiw.png

    "Oh my. I've never put on something so... form-fitting."

    l5zO3A2.png

    "Hah! You look like a minstrel. Next outfit."

    "Oh!"

    XcQ2Fdx.png

    "Now THAT is the perfect look for you Cinderella!"

    TG7WwBU.png

    The last outfit Anastasia selected...

    ... felt just right.

    tmjLgtv.png

    Anastasia knew Cinderella would settle on the dress, though she didn't expect to feel so much rage on seeing her in it.

    aQaVBCh.png

    "I love it! This is the one!" Cindy beamed.

    FnFnhxR.png

    Royal Ball, here comes Cinderella!

    The house was in disarray when Cindy got back home. It felt like everything was falling apart!

    Bk34crq.png

    "Anastasia, what exactly were you doing out with Cinderella? Did you think I wouldn't notice?!"

    y4yW5mq.png

    "I've lost my patience with all of this. Stop fooling around with her!"

    zvbZQV7.png

    "Or did you forget that today is the evening of the ball?"

    WNVpaid.png

    "Don't worry Mother. I know what I'm doing." Anastasia whispered.

    bVrtuRR.png

    "The reason I took her out was..."

    DOJyA4d.png

    Now it all made sense.

    h8iFCNP.png

    When it came to Anastasia truly the apple had not fallen far from the tree.

    2CtojO6.png

    Lady Tremaine felt bad for doubting one of her seeds.
    Even if Cinderella managed to finish all of her chores, thanks to Anastasia that girl will without a doubt NOT be attending the Royal Ball.

    What a mess...

    adnVZA5.png

    The sink was broken...

    nUwZLmc.png

    The oven was filthy...

    CI22PHM.png

    The fridge needed repair...

    hWma16C.png

    Argh! It felt like the entire universe was against her!

    lNGkQj6.png

    "Oh Cinderella?" Drizella sneered.

    7ZdnVv7.png

    "Don't forget to clean the coffee maker too. It's a little stained."

    kBcHbwN.png

    "Goodness... How could that have happened so suddenly?" Cindy sarcastically wondered to herself.
    Maybe it wasn't the universe against her, but certainly the three evil women she was forced to live with.

    No matter how many chores they put in her way, Cindy would complete them all!

    Sx0DpEV.png

    Even if her skin started to break...

    5fBJMLc.png

    ...or her back started to ache, she would finish every last chore and be on time to attend the royal ball!

    At least...

    The time had come to start getting ready for the royal ball.

    vyGuFdX.png

    Cinderella had prepared a winter cake in celebration of the big event.

    ruD5BCG.png

    Her stepfamily enjoyed the treat to the full.

    wHsYobT.png

    Cindy was wrapping up the last of her chores.

    S7ECZGi.png

    She felt that with the pace she was keeping she would be done just in time to leave with her stepfamily.

    M7IbOmY.png

    Lady Tremaine was confident in knowing that wouldn't be the case.

    ...as Cinderella cleaned up their plates.

    0rrt6fw.png

    Lady Tremaine sinisterly smiled. "Are we free to depart my girls?"

    0O27MGb.png

    Cindy wiped the last remaining dust of her shoulders. It was time to get herself ready!

    Cindy changed out of her clothes in lightning speed.

    Z6oxn0N.png

    She was done just as her stepfamily made their way down the steps.

    TJEZsbk.png

    Aha! Just as Anastasia predicted!

    7jTR7DP.png

    Cinderella would finish all her chores and even get fully dressed.

    B9DKzzp.png

    Now Anastasia would initiate the biggest letdown of that poor girl's life!

    KAAn7Ma.png

    Drizella was the only one not in on the plan.
    "Mother!! Look at Cinderella! You simply cannot allow her to join us at the ball! Give her another chore! Anything!"

    mlc7cTe.png

    "Worry not Drizella. We have it all under control."

    qq0vqPO.png

    "Yeah." Anastasia added. "Princess over here won't be coming along."

    nyjV7r4.png

    "What are you talking about Anastasia?"

    LE6ZvQr.png

    "What am I talking about?! I've decided that pink ISN'T your color after all, that's what!"

    8qow1V8.png

    "B-but you picked this dress out for me!"

    KOtEh0J.png

    "I know. And that was my mistake."

    tI7FEuw.png

    "We should have gotten something with a little more...red."

    9bBg9fY.png

    Red? Oh no... She wouldn't!!

    "Why would yo-"

    JnsWOb5.png

    "Take a look at her dress!" Drizella exclaimed.

    zKAPq2a.png

    "Oops, did I do that? I'm soooo sorry Cinderella." Anastasia sneered.

    ohVsxkl.png

    "My word. Look at that massive stain. Cinderella would be an embarrassment to the household name."

    TYv9tH9.png

    It was ruined. The dress and her chance of a lifetime. Even her last shred of hope. Gone.

    E7SNR9k.png

    "Mother, shouldn't we get going? We are going to be late."

    gg9fe7g.png

    "I guess you won't be joining us. Will you, Cinderella?"

    "Nuh...no."

    aKArDP5.png

    "What a shame. Perhaps you and Lucifer can have some quality bonding time?"

    0YrB4TO.png

    "Ahahahaha!" her stepfamily cackled.

    6LXzMUI.png

    "Girls, girls. Let us be off now. We've dawdled long enough."

    Eventually coming to the end of the pier.

    jF1tixn.png
    Z4ZDxc5.png

    Why? Why her? Why did she have to suffer like this?

    9oQm1Q0.png

    She should just throw herself off the pier and into the frigid waters below.

    It's not like anyone would miss her...

    "You might as well leave."

    "Nonsense child. If you truly lost all hope I wouldn't be able to appear before you. Now dry those tear! You have a ball to be off to!"

    Out in the countryside a once in a lifetime ball was underway.

    q2WvBBW.png

    Only those with a personal invitation from the royal family could attend.

    qZMEFlK.png

    While not known to many of the guests, the true purpose of the ball was to find a bride for the young prince charming.

    AEij7ls.png

    It was to be an unforgettable night for all in attendance.

    qMbF7lQ.png
    n1PVI8f.png
    7uTDRDs.png

    The stepsisters were feeling cute and decided to pose together. But were they cute enough to snag a prince?

    mbuz5Uk.png

    Speaking of, the man of the hour had finally arrived.

    BZpEHCQ.png

    "Welcoming Darian Charming of the Brindleton Bay Royal Family!" someone from the crowd announced.

    4ym78l7.png

    Lady Tremaine was one of the first to introduce herself to the prince.

    cKCLGPt.png

    And he seemed rather impressed by her etiquette.

    NvicMNu.png

    Once the festivities were in full wing Lady Tremaine offered the prince a seat with her family. She hoped her gesture would give her daughters an upper hand.

    zOlwDKi.png
    muAHZZ4.png

    Most of the guests had arrived by the time Cinderella made her way through the front doors.

    CM9f4RZ.png

    The moment she arrived she easily captured the attention of others with her natural beauty.

    KagL7tO.png
    Quwe5mK.png

    Her stepfamily were too busy boasting about themselves to notice her presence.
    "Good job girls. I am certain we made a good impression with the prince. Keep up your appearances."

    t0hUQ8U.png

    "Yeah. He was totally swooning!" Drizella said, followed by a not-so-subtle toot from her boot.

    06DH4AE.png

    And unfortunately for the family, the prince saw and heard the display.

    7io2VTr.png

    He wasn't sure what was worse. The arrogance or the fart.

    4tXEV5x.png

    After exploring the venue Cindy made her way towards the refreshments.

    Hzmm3et.png

    When she caught sight of her stepmother her heart immediately began to race.

    BRYyXeT.png

    If she planned on enjoying this ball a little while longer it would do her well not to draw attention to herself.
