Scene 3

Back at the cottage Cinderella talks with her fairy godmother.

Barbara: You left?! What do you mean you left?

Cinderella: I turned around and walked home. That’s what I mean.

Barbara: You can’t leave!

Cinderella: Already did.

Barbara: I wonder if I remember that time travel spell?

A knock sounds

Barbara: Oh flying fairies! I better leave.

Barbara leaves one way as Will and Charming enter from the other.

Charming: stage whispers Will!

Will: Oh right. Presenting his royal highness Prince Charming, the most handsome and eligible man in the kingdom.

Charming: I’m here to marry you!

Cinderella: What?!

Charming: If the shoe fits, I will marry you!

Cinderella: But I don’t want to marry you.

Charming: You mean you don’t want to marry me now, but of course, we still have a lot of planning to do. But first we need to see if the shoe fits. I need a chair. Here, hold this. Hands shoe to Cinderella

Charming leaves in the quest for a chair. Cinderella looks at the shoe and throws it behind her back. Charming comes back with the chair.

Charming: Now, if the shoe fits, I’ll marry you. Wait where is the shoe?

Cinderella: Shoe? What shoe?

Charming: The shoe I just handed to you.

Cinderella: You took the shoe with you

Charming: No, I gave you the shoe.

Cinderella: Oh THAT shoe… I, um, the dog ate it.

Charming: The dog… wait I think we have a problem. Do we have a problem Will?

Will: Yes, your majesty, we have a problem.

Charming: Hmm. Well I guess… I’ll just have to find someone else to marry. He exits

Will: Why did you do that?

Cinderella: I didn’t want to marry him.

Will: I guess that’s a good enough reason. Silence. They look at each other, then quickly look away and slowly back to each other.

Will: Well, will you marry me? I know it’s kind of sudden but I just thought…

Cinderella: Oh my! Yes I think I will lights fade as they continue to look at each other lovingly
