A/N: Please note, the video at the top has nothing to do with this its simply a cute song.


Cotton Candy woke up one sunny and bright morning when she heard the birds chirping. She started to sing as she got ready for the day. Putting her normal clothes on. A blue dress and some brown flats.

She started on her way down the stairs feeding the animals when all she started to hear was "Cotton Candy!" "Come here Cotton Candy!" She sighed but then started up on the stairs as she carried breakfast.

Cotton Candy wasn't your normal average girl. She wanted to become a princess and a live in a castle and then become a ballerina. She gracefully moved around all the animals while twirling and spinning with the trays full of food in both hands and on her head.

She walked on and then delivered everything to her step mothers room and her two step sisters room. All three of them had a fit and then she went to start cleaning the stairs before she went out to feed the outside animals.

Cotton Candy's friends were tiny. No they weren't mice, but they were spiders. Spiders that spun beautiful webs which she sadly had to brush away because her step sister Brumhelda would scream each time that she would see a web.

The spiders weren't mad at her but they wished that Brumhelda would understand that this is what they did for a living.

While Cotton Candy was admiring the spiders and dreaming of the prince, she worked on throwing out some feed.

Meanwhile her step sisters were practicing their instruments. Too say the least, they sound very horrible. Their mother was in her room doing some patchwork even though she had told Cotton Candy to do it.

"Mother!" Brumhelda called out. "Helga messed my trumpet up again! Make Cotton Candy fix it!"

"Girls. Girls. Enough. I will make her fix this. Don't worry."

"Cotton Candy! Get in here!"

"Yes step mother?" Cotton Candy asked in a quiet tone.

"Speak up child!"

"Fix the trumpet and then go start on lunch!"

"Yes step mother."

Cotton Candy took the trumpet while Brumhelda stuck her tongue out at her sister.

Helga did the same and then it kept going on like that even with their mother watching.

Cotton Candy fixed the trumpet when the bell rang.

"Now who could be here?" Win asked out loud.

She looked out through the curtain and saw that it was the kings footman Herald.

"Oh Herald please come in! What can I help you with?"

"I am here to give your three daughters an invitation to the prince's 18th birthday party. He is supposed to find a bride by midnight tonight."

"I see. Well I shall tell them."

"Don't forget the ball is at seven!"

"Oh mother I need a new dress and a new hairstyle if I am going to go!"

"Oh me too mother!"

"Yes girls I know. Cotton Candy, if you can get all your chores done by 4:45 then you can go to the ball. You only have three and a half hours."

"Oh thank you step mother!"

The step mother smirked and then told her daughters to destroy the place before they went and got their hair done for the ball. She only told them to destroy it. Just after Cotton Candy had left the room.

Cotton Candy began sweeping the barn up when the spiders were at work by looking around the house seeing if they could help Cotton Candy in anyway.

"Oh mother! My hair is all wrong! It doesn't match my dress!" Helga cried before tearing her dress away from the hanger and throwing it on the floor.

"That girl is so ungrateful!" Heidi the head spider said. The other spiders had agreed with her.

They took the dress and then they took anything else that they could find from the girls room. If she was going to have a fit about it, then Cotton Candy should at least be able to enjoy some nice things!

The spiders worked and sowed all while Cotton Candy was finishing up her cleaning. It was nearing the time for the ball and since Helga had found a new dress and a wig to match her dress, she felt perfect.

Cotton Candy had just come out of her room when Helga gasped and saw what Cotton Candy was wearing.

"Oh mother! Cotton Candy has stolen my stuff and now she is wearing my dress!" Helga, once again, cried.

Win got upset. She wasn't upset. No in fact she was enraged.

"Cotton Candy! First you destroy the place and then you take her things? That is it! I am sick of you!"

"But but but!" Cotton Candy said.

"Haha! She sounds like a motorboat!" Brumhelda laughed.

Cotton Candy went to her room, slammed the door and then started to cry. It wasn't fair. She was just doing what she was told. She didn't even take the stuff that they were accusing her of.

"It's not fair!" She screamed into her pillow. She had nearly cried herself asleep when she felt someone or something next to her.

"Come on. You got to do something. Take a carriage and get their by yourself and meet the prince. You can do it! I'll just change you into something nice before you hit the road."

Cotton Candy nodded and the the tiny person changed her into a gown that was yellow and blue and she had a tiara in her hair.

Cotton Candy ran out of the house and into the barn where the carriage was waiting.

She hooked the horses up and then got in and then an hour and a half later she was sitting in front of the palace handing over the reigns before going into the castle.

She didn't want anyone to know that she was here.

The prince was tired and wanted to go to bed but knew that his father would have a fit if he didn't find a wife. There had to be at least a million girls in this castle. He had seen them all. Or so he had thought when he saw someone hiding behind a curtain.

"Oh hello there. My name is Michael. Your name is?"

"Cotton Candy."

"Nice to meet you. Care to dance?"

"Sure." she said quietly.

They danced and they talked about anything. That is until it struck midnight.

She had ran away and while in doing so, left her shoes on the stairs.

"Wait! You forgot your shoes!"

Cotton Candy ran and then jumped through the window of her room, quickly changing clothes and then crawling into bed.

The next morning she woke and and got ready and then went to go out the door when she realized that the door was locked.

She begged and pleaded for her step mother to let her out of the room but there was noise downstairs so there was no one who could hear her.

She thought about her last resort and broke the door down, injuring her arm in the process, and ran down in time to nearly see the prince leaving.

"Wait! Those are my shoes!" she yelled to the prince.

"Princess! Come here and lets leave so that we can go to the castle hospital." said Michael the prince.

"Why do you want her? Why not one of my other daughters?"

"Did you not see? They didn't fit the shoe! This is my real princess."

"Lets go home prince." said Cotton Candy.

"Yes," said the prince. "Lets definitely go home."

No offense to Walt Disney! Just a very weird version of Cinderella.
