The Cinderella Story

The last outfit Anastasia selected...

... felt just right.

https://i.imgur.com/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.

https://i.imgur.com/aQaVBCh.png

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

https://i.imgur.com/FnFnhxR.png

Royal Ball, here comes Cinderella!

https://i.imgur.com/KUjehxv.png

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

https://i.imgur.com/Bk34crq.png

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

https://i.imgur.com/y4yW5mq.png

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

https://i.imgur.com/zvbZQV7.png

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

https://i.imgur.com/WNVpaid.png

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

https://i.imgur.com/bVrtuRR.png

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

https://i.imgur.com/DOJyA4d.png

Now it all made sense.

https://i.imgur.com/h8iFCNP.png

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

https://i.imgur.com/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.

https://i.imgur.com/P86DC5C.png

What a mess...

https://i.imgur.com/adnVZA5.png

The sink was broken...

https://i.imgur.com/nUwZLmc.png

The oven was filthy...

https://i.imgur.com/CI22PHM.png

The fridge needed repair...

https://i.imgur.com/hWma16C.png

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

https://i.imgur.com/lNGkQj6.png

"Oh Cinderella?" Drizella sneered.

https://i.imgur.com/7ZdnVv7.png

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

https://i.imgur.com/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.

https://i.imgur.com/H4IjM1b.png

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

https://i.imgur.com/Sx0DpEV.png

Even if her skin started to break...

https://i.imgur.com/5fBJMLc.png

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

https://i.imgur.com/d873DMn.png

At least...

https://i.imgur.com/fjfcXSd.png
https://i.imgur.com/4hW0sip.png

...that was her hope.

https://i.imgur.com/1yAHFfn.png

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

https://i.imgur.com/vyGuFdX.png

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

https://i.imgur.com/ruD5BCG.png

Her stepfamily enjoyed the treat to the full.

https://i.imgur.com/wHsYobT.png

Cindy was wrapping up the last of her chores.

https://i.imgur.com/S7ECZGi.png

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

https://i.imgur.com/M7IbOmY.png

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

https://i.imgur.com/s7E8cxQ.png

The ladies got dressed upstairs...

https://i.imgur.com/kDaIF5E.png

...as Cinderella cleaned up their plates.

https://i.imgur.com/0rrt6fw.png

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

https://i.imgur.com/0O27MGb.png

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

https://i.imgur.com/l5EnqRr.png

Cindy changed out of her clothes in lightning speed.

https://i.imgur.com/Z6oxn0N.png

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

https://i.imgur.com/TJEZsbk.png

Aha! Just as Anastasia predicted!

https://i.imgur.com/7jTR7DP.png

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

https://i.imgur.com/B9DKzzp.png

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

https://i.imgur.com/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!"

https://i.imgur.com/mlc7cTe.png

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

https://i.imgur.com/qq0vqPO.png

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

https://i.imgur.com/nyjV7r4.png

"What are you talking about Anastasia?"

https://i.imgur.com/LE6ZvQr.png

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

https://i.imgur.com/8qow1V8.png

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

https://i.imgur.com/KOtEh0J.png

"I know. And that was my mistake."

https://i.imgur.com/tI7FEuw.png

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

https://i.imgur.com/9bBg9fY.png

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

https://i.imgur.com/3cYJjDg.png

"Bleeeah!"

https://i.imgur.com/X9NOCmP.png

"Why would yo-"

https://i.imgur.com/JnsWOb5.png

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

https://i.imgur.com/zKAPq2a.png

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

https://i.imgur.com/ohVsxkl.png

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

https://i.imgur.com/TYv9tH9.png

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

https://i.imgur.com/E7SNR9k.png

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

https://i.imgur.com/gg9fe7g.png

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

https://i.imgur.com/MoCs1Sj.png

"Nuh...no."

https://i.imgur.com/aKArDP5.png

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

https://i.imgur.com/0YrB4TO.png

"Ahahahaha!" her stepfamily cackled.

https://i.imgur.com/6LXzMUI.png

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

https://i.imgur.com/Vx6viIz.png

"Stepmo-"
"Good night."

https://i.imgur.com/ofusT4M.png

...
https://i.imgur.com/UvQYNyD.png

After her stepfamily left the house Cinderella walked aimlessly around the neighborhood.

https://i.imgur.com/jmlnGso.png

Eventually coming to the end of the pier.

https://i.imgur.com/jF1tixn.png
https://i.imgur.com/Z4ZDxc5.png

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

https://i.imgur.com/9oQm1Q0.png

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

https://i.imgur.com/ccyKR7O.png

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

https://i.imgur.com/B27yfzh.png

"Let's not be so hasty!"

https://i.imgur.com/M3vHnrV.png

What was that just now? Cindy briefly contemplated if she was starting to hear voices.

https://i.imgur.com/4AJTgDH.png

"Gosh plum teleportation magic. It's like getting stuck in traffic sometimes."

https://i.imgur.com/pgCMqUI.png

"Hello my dearie! We finally meet!"

https://i.imgur.com/9f9n0Hb.png

"W-who are you?"

https://i.imgur.com/qLkyhvQ.png

"Why, I'm your fairy godmother. Here to rescue you!"

https://i.imgur.com/jc37l5L.png

"What use is having a fairy godmother? I am nothing worth saving."

https://i.imgur.com/ZuJ7iL0.png

"I've lost all hope for a better future."

https://i.imgur.com/4WW7OHj.png

"You might as well leave."

https://i.imgur.com/KZr0n4A.png

"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!"

https://i.imgur.com/fgHnJIB.png

"A ball? Look at me. I could attend no such thing."

https://i.imgur.com/wWpnoPO.png

"Then how about a little 'sprucing up', as they say!"
