All was well...but, one day, her husband, the light of her life, died. The next time, she married for the sake of her daughters. But that man, too, was taken from her. And she was doomed to look every day upon his beloved child. She had hoped to marry off one of her beautiful, stupid daughters to the prince. But his head was turned by a girl with glass slippers. And so...I lived unhappily ever after. My story would appear to be ended. Now, tell me yours.

Fairy：There! One carriage.

Ella: You really are my fairy godmother.

Fairy：Of course. I don't go about transforming pumpkins for just anybody. Now, where are those mice?

Ella: Mice?

Fairy：Yes. Mice, mice, mice. There they are. Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo! Four white chargers.

Ella: Gus-Gus, how fine you look! But how did you...

Fairy：Now, where are we? Got carriage, horses... Uh, footmen!

Ella: Footmen?

Fairy：Hello, lovely Mr. Lizard. Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo!

Lizzard: Hello! You called?

Fairy：Now, I need that coachman.

Ella: Coachman?

Fairy：Did I say "coachman"? I meant "goose".

Goose: I can't drive. I'm a goose.

Fairy：Now, shoo! Everyone into place, no time to be lost! Come on!

Ella: Fairy Godmother!

Fairy：Yes, what?

Ella: My dress. I can't go in this dress. Can you mend it?

Fairy：Mend it? No, no. I'll turn it into something new.

Ella: Oh, no, please don't. This was my mother's. And I'd like to wear it when I go to the palace. It's almost like taking her with me.

Fairy：I understand. But she wouldn't mind if I gee it up a bit? Wouldn't mind a nice blue?

Ella: No.

Fairy：There.

Ella: It's beautiful. She'd love it.

Fairy：Now, come on. Off you go. Quick! You'll be late!

Goose: I'm very new at this!

Lizzard: Oh, boy.

Fairy：Stop that blooming coach!

Ella: Thank you.

Fairy：Just a moment! Are those the best you have?

Ella: It's all right. No one will see them.

Fairy：No, they'll ruin the whole look. Quick, quick. Take them off. Really quite hideous. Let's have something new for a change. I'm rather good at shoes.

Ella: But...They're made of glass?

Fairy：Yes. And you'll find they're really comfortable. Ella, you really must go now.

Ella: Oh, Fairy Godmother?

Fairy：What is it?

Ella: My stepmother and the girls?

Fairy：Don't worry. I'll make sure they don't recognize you. Now, off you go. For you shall go to the ball.

Lizzard: Ah, in you get. Oh, so lovely.

Fairy：Oh, do stop wittering on.

Fairy：Ella! I almost forgot. Remember, the magic will only last so long. With the last echo of the last bell, at the last stroke of midnight, the spell will be broken and all will return to what it was before.

Ella: Midnight?

Fairy：Midnight.

Ella: That's more than enough time.

Fairy：Off you go then.

Ella: Thank you.

Fairy：Goosey, go!

Ella: Goodbye!
