Green magic came from inside one of the rooms. Elliot hesitantly walked towards it. A bluebird flew onto his shoulder, twittering.

"You go get Y/n," he told him and he flew off.

"Bigger!"

Elliot watched from the keyhole as Dominique tried on different hairstyles and suits with the wand, looking at himself in the mirror.

"Ooh, let's try this! Oh, that's nice. So handsome." He clicked at himself, pointing to the mirror.

Lady Tremaine was horrified when she came in to her son playing around with the wand. "Dominique! Stop that this instant!" She turned him back, his hair an absolute mess now. "This wand is not a toy." She took it from his hands and put it back into the dresser drawer, locking it shut and putting the key into her pocket, then trying to brush out whatever mess she did to his hair.

Elliot, still crouched, whispered to Jaq and Gus, "It's in the dresser. Key's in her pocket. I've got to get in there."

"Cinderelly!"

"They'll see you!" Gus protested.

Jaq nodded, agreeing, "Yeah. Too dangerous."

He looked back in, biting his lip. "But I..."

"Ah tah tah. We'll take care of it," Jaq promised.

When he heard André coming, still muttering, "I do" to himself, he hid behind one of the tapestries until he went into the room.

Considering, he placed them down. "Alright. But whatever you do, stay clear of Lucifer."

"Zuk-zuk. No Lucify," Gus promised as Jaq dragged him away.

-

Lady Tremaine was on André in an instant. "What happened? What'd the king say?"

The redhead smiled back, different from his usual sneer. "He's really very nice. He gave me his most prized possession."

She showed it to them, Lady Tremaine still deadpanning. "Tch. A seashell?" She finished with Dominique's hair.

"It's a symbol of true love."

Their disappoinment turned to unamusment. "Oh, please."

"Hmph. How special," Dominique sarcastically sneered.

André tried to continue, hoping they'd understand. "He said his heart -"

The lady cut him off, becoming more frustrated with the fantastical ideas she had once used against him to manipulate him into falling for the princess. "What's love compared to the power we hold with the wand?! You will learn that soon enough."

"I want the princess to love me," he insisted. "I think she could."

Dominique feigned a disgusted expression. "Oh, you're serious."

"Well, the king likes me, too," he insisted. "He treated me like his own son." How face fell. "Maybe we shouldn't be doing this. Maybe I should have put on the shoe." Then, he brightened. "Maybe we don't even need the wand."

The cat popped up suddenly, hissing at seemingly nothing, running all around.

"Oh! Oh! Somebody put out that cat!" Lady Tremaine screamed, not realizing he was chasing after Jaq and Gus, having had prevented them from getting the wand.

"Lucifer!"

"Oh, hold still!"

He knocked over some water, drenching himself.

"Lucifer!"

He was quickly put out, the door shut in his face.

"Oh, someone fetch the housekeeper."

At her command, there was a knock at the door. A man with his bonnet pulled over his face said in a high voice, "Housekeeping."

"Well. You certainty came quick," she observed suspiciously.

"We're very good," he tried to explain.

Hesitantly, she opened the door to let him in. "Clean this up. My son needs his beauty sleep for tonight's wedding."

He bent down and soaked a rag into a bucket of water, ringing it out.

Giving him a side glance, she stepped away. "Keep out of the butler's way, boys. There's a lot do before the wedding." She stepped closer, reaching out to pull the bonnet down. "Isn't that right, Cinderelliot?" She ripped it off to reveal his handsome face in shock, turning quickly to her.

Dominique and André gasped, the brunette looking disgusted as always whenever he looked at him.

"I didn't know you worked here," André said instead of anything cruel, innocently.

Lady Tremaine sneered, "You're far more persistent than I thought."

He narrowed his eyes, for the first time speaking against her. "I won't let you get away with this."

"We already have."

"I don't think so." His eyes moved to the side. "Jaq! Gus! The wand!"

Shocked, the older woman looked behind her to see two mice with the wand.

"Us-a coming, Cinderelly!"

"Yeah! Woohoo!"

They ran out of the room and down the halls, ditching the apron, Lady Tremaine running after him. "That servant boy's a thief! Get him!"

The guards ran after him in synchronized motion.

"Zuk-zuk..." Jaq muttered under his breath like a curse as Lucifer ran after them, then brightened. "Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo!"

He turned the black cat into a cat-in-the-box, thinking that would stop him. Letting out a menacing meow, he hopped after them inside of the box.

He kept going, guards at the bottom of the stairs and behind him, the railing on either side of him.

"Stop! Thief!"

He gasped, not knowing what to do.

"Seize him at once!" his stepmother demanded.

"Don't move! Hold it!"

"Halt in the name of the King!"

Lucifer, still bouncing, knocked into one of the guards, making him tumble into the others, Elliot avoiding them just in time.

"You incompetent fools!" the woman cried.

Taking the chance, Elliot slid down the railing. Once on his feet, he took off running again.

Jaq and Gus slid down next, Lucifer ready to bite down.

"Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo!"

They turned him into a tiny cat, unable to squish them now.

"Meow."

"Aww." Gus tried to pat him on the head, but he took him into a whirlwind of clawing.

"Gus-Gus!" Jaq tried to pull him out, also getting sucked in. Once they were out, they ran after Elliot, still holding the wand, but he chased them into the mousehole.

"Run, Gus-Gus!" They turned back around just as Lucifer was at the entrance/exit. "Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo!"

Slowly, he began to grow again, Jaq and Gus screaming as he shimmied his way out of the hole, then ran back to Elliot.

-

"There he is! We've got him!"

Elliot slammed the door behind him, the guards banging on it.

"You there! Halt!"

"Halt!"

He took a sword from one of the metal suits and used it to bar the door shut through the handles.

"Open in the name of the King!"

He backed away slowly, not sure what he was supposed to do now.

-

As Y/n was preparing for her wedding, the birds came in.

"Oh, hello."

They grabbed at her dress, pulling her away.

"Oh! Hey! What's going on?"

They kept pulling at her desperately.

"Hm. Uh, alright. I'm coming."

-

"Cinderelly!"

He looked behind him, smiling at Jaq and Gus.

"Open up, I say!"

"Catch!" They threw him the wand.

"Open in the name of the King!"

Because that worked the last two times he said it.

He looked below the balcony at Y/n as she came rushing in. She looked up, confused. "Elliot?"

He pointed the wand at her. "Lift the spell! Let her remember Bibbidi-bobbidi - oh! "

The door had broken down and a guard grabbed him by the arms.

"No!"

"Wait, let go of him!" Y/n tried to run up, but felt a hand on her shoulder pull her back. Turning around, she saw it was Lady Tremaine, her sons by her side like puppies. "Let me go! You put them up to this, didn't you?!"

"My apologies," she said instead. "It's under control."

"No! Let me go!" She struggled to free herself.

"That boy's a thief."

Y/n stopped for a minute. "What? No, Elliot would never..."

"I am not a thief!" he yelled down at them, the guards trying to restrain him.

Y/n finally broke free, rushing up to him.

"You're under a spell!" Those words cause her to stop and stare blankly at him. "That's why you don't remember it was me! Please just listen!" He reached out for her, their hands touching for a moment. Y/n looked down, confused. It was the same feeling she had felt the night before...

"Let's go!" He was ripped away from her by the guards, leaving her to just spend there until Lady Tremaine came back, her hand resting on Y/n's shoulder once again.

"Poor child. Obviously out of his mind."

"I hope he'll be alright," she said blankly, then snapped herself out of it. "No, there must be some kind of misunderstanding. Elliot wouldn't steal from anyone." She looked back at her hand. "There was something about him just now..."

"No misunderstanding," she said firmly. "I caught him in the act myself."

"Then maybe...he had a breakdown or something...?" After all those years of abuse, it seemed likely.

"Oh, don't trouble yourself, Your Highness. I'll see you it personally that he gets all the help he needs."

Elliot looked back sadly at her, eyes begging.

"Nice try!" Dominique yelled. "But we won!"

Y/n threw her head at him, eyes wide. "You won? Is that how you see this?"

He opened and shut his mouth a few times, not knowing how to answer her. "Uh...well...no...I...um..."

She shook her head, looking back at Lady Tremaine, eyebrows raised. "You'll see he's taken care of?"

"Personally, Your Highness."

She nodded and left, but decided to check up on it later.

Once she was gone, Lady Tremaine whispered to one of the guards, "Put him on the next ship leaving the kingdom. I want him banished forever." Then turning angrily to Dominique, "And you. Keep your mouth shut or you're next."

He gulped, but nodded.

-

F/n studied himself in the mirror as his suit was being worked on and fitted. "Quite fetching. Ouch!" he exclaimed after being pricked. "Careful with those pins down there."

Y/n walked in, still contemplating what had happened to Elliot. "Dad, something strange is going on."

"I'll say," he chuckled. "My daughter is finally getting married."

"No, no, I mean something's wrong."

"Oh, nonsense, my girl. You wanted the boy who fit the glass shoe."

"Yes, but..."

"Now you've got her," he insisted.

"Hey!" someone called, but nobody heard.

"That's what I'm worried about..." Y/n admitted.

"Psst! Hey, N/n! N/n!"

"Over here!"

"N/n!"

"Psst! Psst!"

She looked over, dropping her voice as low as she could. "Jaq? Gus?"

They nodded rapidly. "Yes! Let's go! Come on!"

Looking behind her, she saw that F/n was once again preoccupied with his suit and slipped by into a small study. Shutting the door, she called, "Hello?"

The birds opened up the window, casting light onto a desk.

"Hey, N/n! N/n! Down here!"

She looked down and smiled at them. "Hi." She sat down at the table. "What's up?"

They both spoke at once.

"Stepmother got the magic wand! Put a spell on you! Fooled everyone!"

"...came to the palace to marry you!"

"Wait, hold on. Hold on. I think I understand." She stared in front of her, then her face fell. "Actually, I got nothing."

They both looked at each other.

"Duh, what's we gonna do?" Gus asked.

He thought it over, then brightened when he saw a music box. He wound it up, music playing out of it. Gus climbed up and danced with it, although too short.

Jaq:
You were dancing with a handsome boy

Gus:
[Handsome boy]

Jaq:
And at midnight, he ran off, though overjoyed

He ran down, losing his shoe, which Gus picked up.

Gus:
[Overjoyed]

Jaq:
Well, that's Cinderelly, he's the boy you've loved since you were young

Gus:
He's the one you want to marry,

Jaq, Gus:
Don't come undone
[Come undone]

Clumsily, they waltzed around the table.

Jaq:
At the ball,

Gus:
At the ball,

Jaq:
At the ball,

Gus:
Down at the ball

Jaq, Gus:
Cinderelly was the bachelor at the ball

Jaq jumped into Gus' arms, both hoping that she understood.

"No, no, no. Sure, I used to think I was in love with him, but I danced with André at the ball."

"No, no. N/n only think that because of Cinderelly's stepmother," Jaq insisted, putting his shoe back on and fixing his fur into that ugly proper beehive.

"Yeah! Mean old lady!" Gus agreed, which Y/n nodded to. Wait, where had she taken him...?

Jaq took out a needle from the pincushion as a wand and pointed it at Gus.

Jaq:
With a magic wand, she cast a wicked spell

Gus:
[Wicked spell]

He fell back into the powder.

Jaq:
Which is why N/n isn't feeling well

Gus:
[Not so well]

Jaq:
You've forgotten Cinderelly and the dance you shared last night

Gus got up and slid back over.

Jaq, Gus:
But we're sure it's not too late to set things right

Gus:
Right, right!

Back to the clumsy waltz.

Jaq, Gus:
'Cause at the ball,
At the ball,
At the ball

Gus:
Yeah, at the ball!

Jaq, Gus:
Cinderelly was the bachelor at the ball

"Whoa, whoa, whoa," she stopped them. "You're telling me I'm under a magic spell?"

"And here's the worst part!"

"It always gets worse, doesn't it?"

Jaq:
When Cinderelly tried to fight and take a stand,

Gus:
[Take a stand]

Jaq:
Mean old lady had him banished from the land

Gus fell first to his knees then on his stomach, banging his fists against the desk and crying. "Oh, no, no, no, oh, no, no, oh!"

"Gus-Gus!" Jaq grabbed him by the shirt and pulled him up.

Blushing, he stuttered, "Duh, sorry..."

The birds, still at the window, rolled their eyes.

Jaq:
Cinderelly's on a ship that's gonna sail him far away

Gus pushed Jaq in a teacup and off of the desk. Y/n caught it before it could shatter.

Gus:
So it's up to N/n to save the day

Jaq:
[Save the day]

She tipped Jaq out of the cup and back onto the desk.

Jaq, Gus:
'Cause at the ball,
At the ball,
At the ball,

Gus:
What a ball

Jaq:
Cinderelly won your heart

Gus:
Now magic's keeping you apart

Jaq:
Unless you can recall

Jaq, Gus:
That Cinderelly was the bachelor at the ball!
At the ball!

"Magic?" Y/n asked in disbelief. "Magic made me think André was the boy at the ball? That...that is just something that horrible woman would do!"

The birds flew in with the glass shoe mended and placed it on her desk, her anger turned into relief. "But that would also explain everything. Yeah!" She tilted her head back down at them, now looking distraught. "Did you say she banished him from the kingdom?"

"Yeah! Yeah!"

"I have to find him!" She rushed out of the room, leaving Jaq and Gus.

A moment of silence.

"ONE MORE TIME!"

Jaq, Gus:
At the ball!
At the ball!

Jaq:
And we showed N/n after all!

Jaq, Gus:
That Cinderelly
Was the bachelor
At the ball!
Yeah!

The door opened one more time. It was Y/n again. "Oh...thanks. And loved the song."

They both looked horrified that she was still there.

"Go! Go! Go, N/n! Shoo! Shoo!"

"Go! Go!"

-

"I have to go." Y/n rushed past her father, who looked over, startled.

"Go? But you're about to be married!"

She looked back at him through the doorway. "But Jaq and Gus say he's the wrong boy."

"Jaq? Gus?"

"The talking mice." She was gone again.

"Dear! Wait!" He pushed past the servants and ran after her. "Dear! Talking mice? Dear!"

"And two bluebirds," she continued, going down the stairs.

"Talking bluebirds?" He stood in front of her.

"No, the bluebirds didn't talk. Look, Dad..."

"This is ridiculous!" he cried. "You agreed to marry the boy in the glass shoe. I was completely with you on this one."

"And I will," she promised.

"Huh?"

"Just as soon as I find him." She tried again to pass, but he held out his hands.

"I forbid you to take another step down these stairs!"

Shrugging, she said, "Okay," then ran off to the window and jumped out the window.

"Dear! Come back!" He looked out after her. "We'll find you a doctor! We'll have you leeched! We've got to get..." Giving up, he yelled, "Guards!"

"Aye!"

"Guards, she's gone completely mad!"

The duke bumbled in after him. "Your Majesty!"

"Stop my daughter!"

"Your blood pressure!" he begged the king.

Y/n climbed on top of her horse just as F/n reached her, his hands on the flank. "Stop, stop!" He bent over, panting.

"Dad, trust me."

He looked up at her, fearful for her health. "Dear. I do trust you. It's the talking mice I'm worried about."

Laughing to herself, she had the horse begin the gallop. "Hiya!" She was off towards the gates.

"Dear!"

"Close the gates!" the duke cried. "Close the gates!"

"It'll be fine. Don't look up," she advised her horse as they rode. "Hiya! Hiya!"

He jumped through before they could close.

"Good boy."

F/n watched, realizing that only one madness could send somebody to these lengths: being madly in love.

"I'll send the troops after her, Your Majesty," the duke said, but F/n grabbed him by the shoulder, keeping him still, smiling to himself.

"No. Let her go."

"But - but, Your Majesty, the wedding..."

"Let her go."

-

One of the guards knocked on the wood to Elliot's crate, looking stoic. "Time to go," he said sympathetically.

He looked up, then sighed. Hopping down, he was watched as he walked down to the docks. After a few steps on, he turned his head back to the castle, watch was surrounded by the light coming out of the clouds. Sighing again, he turned his head away and finished walking up as a storm brewed overhead.

Elliot:
I've always dreamed...
That my life could be...

The a yellow angelic glow in the clouds shaped the castle.

Elliot:
Like a fairytale...
A perfect fantasy...

The men pulled up the plank and anchor, letting the masks down.

The lighting disappeared, now nothing but grey clouds.

Elliot:
But it was nothing more...
...than a dream...

He sat on one of the barrels, his head in his hands, covering his face, tears spilling out of his eyes and trickling down silently as the ship began to move.

-

"Hiya!"

Y/n saw the ship begin to move from atop a hill, riding through the village. But once they got down, the ship was already too far away. Y/n pulled on the reigns, looking after it for a moment. Seeing a cliff it was nearing, she steered her horse towards it and into the windmill. Up the stairs, she could sense his nervousness.

"Come on, boy. Nothing to it."

He kept running up, but panicked at the last moment and halted, throwing Y/n off and through the air near the masks. Reaching out, she grabbed one of the ropes and swung around. Pulling out her knife, she stabbed it into one of the masks and let it drag her down.

Hearing the rip, Elliot turned around from one of the decks, surprised to see who it was.

Landing on her feet, the princess looked up to find Elliot, pulling at one of his hands. Fixing her hair, she smiled up at him, confidently walking over while he wondered what the heck she was doing there when she was about to be married, the happiness of seeing her not yet fully setting in. But when he saw her run up the stairs to him, he began to smile, barely daring to believe it.

She stopped in front of him, smiling apologetically. "Remember last night?"

He smiled back, noticing that her hand reached out to him. He reached out, too, and they pressed against each other, then connected, that warm feeling of love flooding through both of them as the sun finally pierced through the clouds.

-

Elliot:
So this is love
Mm-mm mm-mm
So this is love

-

Overjoyed, Elliot pulled her into a hug, spinning her off the ground. Both of their eyes closed, arms wrapped around each other, everything alright once again.

Blue Eyes:
They pulled apart, looking into each others eyes for a few moments, both blue, before Y/n dropped to one knee.

Any Eye Color Except Blue:
They pulled apart, looking into each others eyes for a few moments, one e/c, one blue, before Y/n dropped to one knee.

"Will you marry me, Elliot?"

Chuckling, he agreed, "Yes. I thought you'd never ask."

He picked her up from the ground and spun her again, both laughing now that they were together and could spend their lives in happiness.

-

"It's not over yet!" she announced, slamming the doors behind her.

Dominique looked over from the window, sitting on the couch. "What?"

She ignored him, continuing to rant to herself. "She thinks she can ruin my plans? I think not."

André poked his head out. "Who?"

"The princess. She's gone after Cinderelliot."

Confused, he looked around as if an answer would come, heartbroken. "But...I thought she loved me..."

"Mother!" Dominique called her over. She looked out at the window with André as the princess and her horse came back, now with Elliot to meet the king and the duke. Y/n introduced him to his father, who gave him a hug, then explained what had happened. He glared up at the window, noticing the lady, and pointed his guards towards it. Gaping, she drew the curtains shut, bubbling over.

André gasped when he saw them together, that picture still in his head. Turning away from the now shut curtains, he said, still hurt, "It's no use. The magic didn't work. It wasn't as powerful as their..." Love.

Lady Tremaine grabbed him by the shoulder, demanding, "You do want the princess to love you, don't you?"

"Open up!" they heard from outside.

"Well, yes. Yes, of course I do! More than anything!"

"Then do exactly as I say."

-

When the guards finally entered, there was nobody in there.
