Cinderella III: A Twist in Time

Do you remember the story of a girl who lived a life of cinders,

and how she found true love

because she kept a beautiful dream in her heart?

Of course it helped that she had mouse friends who could sew

and a Fairy Godmother who could do wonders with pumpkins.

Well, that girl is me.

What a perfectly perfect life lt's a fairy tale come true

l'm a princess and a wife all because l fit a shoe

When l dreamed of love who'd have guessed l'd end up here

At the end of a perfectly perfect year

Would my perfectly perfect wife

put on her perfectly fitting shoes?

You found my shoes.

Better hurry. Fairy Godmother's waiting.

What were the mice using them for this time?

Boats.

There.

Oh, what a wonderfully perfectly perfect year!

Why should we have to do the chores?

l would rather rot in jail

Washing dishes and scrubbing floors

That's just great l broke a nail

Cinderella is in the palace living a life of luxury

And we've not once been invited to a ball

-Or even tea -Why don't l get a happy ending?

Where's the prince who'll marry me?

When will this horrible nightmare disappear?

Pathetic.

Oh, what a perfectly miserably awful year

Give me your hand.

Somewhere there must be

Someone who'll love me

And show me a world that l never knew

He'll ask for my hand

And l'll say "l do"

Oh, wouldn't it be finer than fine

lf that perfectly perfect love

Were mine

He's a perfectly charming prince

She's a charmingly perfect lass

They've lived happily ever since she fit the slipper

Made of glass

Take your places everyone

The time is drawing near to celebrate

A perfectly perfect year

Surprise!

A perfect anniversary party

That we planned for you

And l threw in some magic

With a bibbidi-bobbidi-boo

Just like the night l sent you to the ball

So that's how Cinderella did it. Magic.

On this perfectly perfect day there is magic in the air

Gee, l wonder if that old lady has a wand that she could spare

What could ever come between us?

l would gladly volunteer

And as for the future

Well, it's perfectly clear

-lt's sure to be another magically -Tragically

Perfectly perfect year

Perfect!

Mother! Mother!

Mother!

Anastasia, where have you been?

-Slacking off again. -Mother, our troubles are over!

A stick?

Let's beat her with it.

No, no, no, no. Not a stick.

A magic wand.

Well, she finally cracked.

I saw this nutty old woman and zap!

She gave Cinderella the beautiful gown and, oh, the Prince.

-I blame the housework. -I'll prove it to you.

What were those words again? Wappity-pappity-poo?

Skip-skip-scadoo? No, I know it. I know it. I think.

Oh, no, I've got it. I've got it. Bibbidi-bobbidi...

There it is!

Child, put that down!

In the wrong hands that wand could be extremely dangerous.

Now, now give it back to me you silly little goose.

No way, Grandma. Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo!

Look what you've done.

Now give me back my wand.

No, I need it, you silly old garden gnome!

Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo!

Hello? Hello... Hello, Grandma?

I... I'm sorry. Oh, I didn't mean to hurt you.

So this is how Cinderella did it. What delicious irony.

Do you realise what this means, girls?

Yes! No more laundry!

It means power, riches,

revenge.

I wanna be dirty, filthy, stinking rich!

I want a prince of my own!

Please, please, please.

-Give it to me! -No, give it to me!

Girls! Girls!

First things first.

Now, Cinderella,

to undo your trickery and take what's rightfully ours,

I call upon all the forces of the universe!

Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo!

Reverse the moon and sun, turn back tide and time,

unravel Cinderella's happily ever after

to the moment my troubles began!

Stop!

-Wow. -Wow.

The Grand Duke!

It worked.

Magnificent! And no one knows except us.

Get ready. This is your second chance. Don't waste it.

Where's Cinderella?

She's exactly where she was the first time.

Cinderelly!

The Grand Duke!

Your Excellence.

Your Grace.

His Grace will now read the royal...

Pardon me, but we're all aware of His Grace's purpose.

Perhaps we should just get on with it.

Quite, madam. Quite.

Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo.

It fits!

It fits?

It fits!

Mother, it fits.

Gee. I wonder if it fits.

It fits, it fits! Oh, Mother!

I'm gonna get my prince!

Grace and poise, my dear!

I hereby declare

that we have found the Prince's bride-to-be.

We must return to the palace at once!

No. It can't be.

Would Your Grace excuse me?

I must have a word with my maid.

You look confused, dear.

How could the slipper have fit Anastasia?

I danced with the Prince. That was my slipper.

Here, I have the other one. I'm the one he's looking for.

You may have danced with him. You may even have thought it was love.

But the slipper fits Anastasia, and that's who he's marrying.

Whatever you think happened last night was a dream.

I don't care where you go or what you do,

but you stay away from the palace.

Stay away from the Prince.

And clean up that broken glass.

What just a-happened?

I... I don't understand.

I've...

l've always dreamed

That my life could be

Like a fairy tale

A perfect fantasy

Every day a new adventure

On some undiscovered shore

Was it nothing more

Than a dream?

Then one magic night

With a single dance

l found more than just a storybook romance

And for once my life was perfect

As we glided 'cross the floor

And it was so much more

So much more than a dream

l could say it never happened

Just a dream from the start

But then l'd live my life

With a broken heart

No, no. No cry, Gus-Gus.

Princey knows he danced with Cinderelly.

Yes, of course he does.

If I just see him again...

Yeah, yeah, see Princey!

Yes. Everything will be all right.

-Everything will be all right. -Duh... Yeah, yeah!

'Cause in a prince's arms l've found a love l can't deny

lf there's any chance to set things right

l've simply got to try

So l'll trust my heart

What else can l do?

l can't live in dreams

lf my dreams are to come true

There's a better life that's waiting

Past the mountains l must climb

l will take a chance on love to get my once upon a time

Oh, I want so much more

So much more

Than a dream

Cinderelly, big blue guards.

Gus-Gus handle 'em. Let me at 'em! Let me at 'em!

Let's try the servant's entrance first.

-Good morning, sir. -Good morning.

-Onions for the King. -Well done.

Strawberries, sir.

Keep out of sight.

The King is waiting. There you are.

-The King will enjoy them. -They're his favourite.

Now, all we have to do is find him and everything will be...

Stop! You there.
