ouji_dakara: (The Prince is sleepy)

Dream Effects: This whole dream is done like a pop up story done with little cut out figures that move in stop motion of chibi-versions of some familiar current Vongola (and ally) residents of Somarium.



[The dream comes into focus with a book titled "Cinderbari." The opening "page" shows a young man with short fluffy black hair and blue eyes in a dress of rags. In stop motion the image shows him scrub-scrub-scrubbing.]

Once upon a time, in a far off kingdom...

[Bel's voice narrated over the tale, bemused and lilting in sing song.]

There was a poor girl made nothing more than a scullery maid by the family her father left her behind with. Her own stepmother made her a slave to the household, jealous of the girl's beauty over her own children.

[And as the poor poor girl (who looked an awful lot like Hibari) scrubbed, upon the page came her two step sisters to taunt her. One with long silver hair but a big mouth full of sharp teeth, the other with overly broad shoulders and colorful hair and a very masculine face with gaudy sunglasses. In fact, it was safe to say both were actually being represented by men. Bel's fellow officer's in the Varia no less, and in rather ugly dresses. And then the stepmother herself came to laugh over the girl, Belphegor himself playing this role.]

"Ushishishshi! You missed a spot, Cinderbari, do it all over again~!"

[The figures shook with mimed laughter before the page flipped over.]

But Cinderbari cleaned and cooked and sewed for the three day in and day out, hoping some day to receive their affections. And if not, well she would bide her time before she could bite them to death, ushishishi~

[The page turned and now there was a ridiculous child-like figure wearing a LARGE black frog hat around his entire head, loudly proclaiming to a crowded town square where the family is out shopping, Cinderbari laden down with boxes.]

"Hear ye, hear ye, the Prince shall be throwing a ball to which every eligible young maiden is to attend by royal decree." [And all the cutouts on the story book page were a buzz, vibrating in excitement despite the dry delivery of the announcement.]

"VOIII!" went the shark-toothed sister. "Ohohohohoho!" went the sunglassed sister. "Ushishishi, did you two hear that? You'll have to make good impressions if I want to get rid of at least one of you and who better than a prince to make us royalty, yeah. We must go prepare for the ball," the evil stepmother said, sweeping away with her daughters in tow. Cinderbari remained behind with all the shopping for the day, but with a hope in her heart. "Every eligible maiden... I wonder what the Prince is like?"

[The next page showed on one side the stepsisters, Squalo and Lussuria squabbling while trying on dresses while their mother threatened them both and on the other, Cinderbari making a dress of her own with the animals she had befriended, a little yellow bird and a small spiny hedgehog or five. In fact they multiplied on the page as she worked, creating a dress of majestic purple.

The next page showed the family bustling to go out the door and Cinderbari hurrying after them.]

"I'm going too," she declared. "It said every maiden!"

"It did, didn't it? Don't keep us waiting then, lazy girl," the stepmother conceded, beckoning her forward. But as the girl hurried to join them in surprise and then wires the mother placed as a trap snapped up like a pop-up and the dress was shredded. "Oh, looks like you can't go. Baiii bi~" And the three left in a cloud of laughter, carriage riding off to the castle.


[The page turned again and now it showed a very angry Cinderbari, shaking with rage so hard and flaming with purple flames.]

Cinderbari in her fury decided she would definitely bite them to death and this resolve summoned her fairy godmother who would grant her her wish.

"Muu, I don't do this for free, but you've worked up quite a nice sum working for that lazy stepmother of yours. But after midnight I'm gonna charge you double and you don't have enough for that, so make sure you leave before the clock strikes twelve, the illusions wear off after that," the small hooded figure announced. Mist surrounded Cinderbari and like magic she was suddenly in a beautiful dress of silver and had delicate glass slippers on her tiny feet. A pumpkin was turned into an expensive carriage and those loving little creatures she befriended turned into horses to lead the girl to the ball.


[And the little clouds of mist lift over every item on the page in little *poofs* to transform them like magic. The page turned again and now showed a busy ballroom of couples dancing. The handsome prince was currently trapped dancing with the silver haired, but loud mouthed stepsister and was being yelled at as he stepped on her foot yet again. His blonde hair and amber eyes were easily identifiable as one Bucking Horse, aka Dino Cavallone. The little story-book prince bowed again and again in apology before falling flat on his face. The sisters fought over his head who would help him up.]

The Prince was an idiot and a klutz, but he was well-loved in spite of it and handsome to boot so every girl in the kingdom was eager to impress him and make herself his bride. The evil, loud and annoying stepsisters most of all, so they were monopolizing the Prince for themselves. But as Cinderbari arrived, a quiet fell over the room and the Prince's eyes fell on her.

[At the top of the cut-out stairs appeared Cinderbari like a storm cloud on the horizon and marched down the stairs. The Prince hurried up to her to ask her to dance, but was clocked across the face to get him out of her way. The little prince tumbled down the stairs and landed at the bottom with little hearts and stars flying around his head.]

For the klutzy prince it was love at first hit. This was indeed his bride, he had to dance with her, he thought to himself. But Cinderbari was on a mission and chased the stepsisters around the ball, beating them senseless. Of course the stepmother was smarter than that and hid from Cinderbari all night. Finally the klutz, I mean prince, caught up with Cinderbari though and panting, asked for a dance.

[And the pages showed the chase scenes through the crowded ballroom, the beatdowns of the stepsisters, and then of the blonde prince out of breath and covered in bandages asking for a dance. Cinderbari, not seeing the stepmother around as she hid behind the thrones of the king and queen, finally agreed. But just as they were to dance the clock on the page clicked over and rang out.]

Bong bong bong, went the clock and Cinderbari, remembering the fairy godmother's words pulled away from her true love and fled! But what is this? Ushishishi~ She left behind one of her tiny glass slippers on the stairs.

[The prince gave chase, fell on the stairs just in front of the shoe and was left with only that as he looked around wildly for the mysterious girl.]

The prince with no idea who the girl was decide he'd use the shoe to find the girl of his dreams and he would marry whomever the shoe fit and thus began his search of the kingdom for her. Meanwhile, Cinderbari had barely made it home, back in rags and wishing she'd saved a little time for that dance. But for now, she's wait for her stepmother to come home. But the stepmother tricked Cinderbari upon returning and locked her away in a room. She had heard of the prince's plan after all and she would make sure her daughters fit into that shoe, ushishishi~

[The pages showed a flaming angry Cinderbari trapped behind a barred window door while the stepmother sat her daughters down for the prince's arrival. When he entered through the door (after walking into it) he carried the shoe over, looking very unhappy to be there.]

The prince was hesitant to try the shoe on these two, but since he knew neither of them could be his future princess he kneeled and tried it on the girl with the colorful wild hair first. But the stepmother was a crafty one and knew that both of her girls feet were FAR too large for such a tiny slipper and had sliced off the toes on one and the heel on the other and shoved their stockings back on. So when the prince tried the slipper on the first, the foot slid in much to his horror. [And it was clearly horror on the prince figure's face as tears streamed down the two stepsisters faces from the pain and the stepmother just laughed in the background.]

But the prince, feeling ill from his discovery, while helping up the girl, slipped and brought them both to the ground, showing the shoe filled with blood.

[And the prince while looking green around the edges at this, empties out the shoe and puts his arms up in a cross showing her as disqualified. Hesitantly he approached the other sister with long silver hair and gnashing teeth and tried the bloody glass shoe on her.]

"VOOOOOOOI THAT HURTS IDIOT!" and the stepsister yanked off the bloody shoe and beat the prince in the head with it repeatedly and then ran away with her bloody foot leaving a trail behind her.

[The pictures of the prince being smacked with the shoe again and again left sharks and stars floating around the dazed prince this time.]

"A-Aren't there any more girls here?" he asked meekly.

"Afraid no one else but little old me, ushishishi," the stepmother said, blowing the prince a kiss.


[The little kiss hit the prince and he backed away into the door quickly, ready to escape. But then the ANGRY Cinderbari breaks through the door to her prison and chases after the stepmother.]

"I will bite you to death! Come back here," she exclaimed.

[The page showed the Belphegor stepmother and Cinderbari running in circles again and again as Prince Dino watched in dumb-founded confusion. The stepmother finally escaped by jumping out a window just as Cinderbari stepped into the glass shoe, left forgotten on the floor, showing it to be a perfect fit.]

"At last I found you, my love!" the prince confessed, rushing to Cinderbari's side and clasping her small hands. The pair meant for true love was finally united, the stupid stepsisters had gotten what was coming to them, and of course the beautiful stepmother escaped to have at least one daughter go off to marry royalty. Ushishishishishi!

[Cinderbari is swept up into the prince's arms and carried off to a carriage on the last page, showing the stepmother hiding behind a tree and shishishi'ing.]

And they lived happily ever after, the klutz and the princess~ The End~

[The story book closes to the words of "The End" with Cinderbari and Prince Dino in wedding attire, though the prince was sporting a throbbing bruise and Cinderbari was hmphing. And with that, the dream fades to black.]
