When The Glass Slipper Didn't Fit

Shortmama has started new themed stories...they are untitled at this time...but todays theme is about what would happen with Cinderella when she didn't fit into the glass slipper.

And the story goes like this...

On the day that the Prince was arrived to see if anyone in the home could fit into the glass slipper, Cinderella was completely ecstatic. She didn't think she could take one more day living with the wenches.

When Cinderella came down the stairs, it was her turn to try out the glass slipper. But for some reason, the glass slipper was a tad bit too big. You see, after having a wonderful time having already danced with the Prince and then having to come back home to her normal life, she ended up losing a couple of pounds due to stress. So the Prince continued on his way to find his girl.

This event snapped some life into Cinderella. She vowed to not spend one more day dealing with these people. As night fell, Cinderella took off on foot to a village many miles away. She was not used to seeing everyone doing their chores for themselves.

Cinderella came across a very wise old man who decided to teach Cinderella how to defend herself. He could sense the pain she had been through and wanted to give her a chance. They spent many a long day and long night training. Cinderella had never felt more sure of herself and had a deep sense of worth when the training was complete.

Cinderella decided it would be ok to return to where she came from. And when she got there, she proceeded to clean house...but it had nothing to do with a mop and a bucket. The Prince heard of the "new" woman in town and was enthralled with her as he had never met anyone with her bold demeanor.

So the Prince and Cinderella lived happily ever after...with a few kinks in the road when he realized that there was NO WAY that his woman was going to take any of his crap. Once he realized that..they then lived happily ever after!
