A Cinderella Story: If the Shoe Fits Page #5

---

Yes, I was just about to pick

the gowns up, actually. You can come with,

unless, of course, you don't want

to be seen In, you know, the service area.

Have them in the suite in five minutes.

You need to help us get dressed.

Yes, of course.

Sorry I'm late.

I had to find more contacts.

That's okay.

Is this almost over?

No, now I need to be

In three places at once.

Now that's what I call star power.

Twirl, girls. Twirl for Sparkles.

- Oh, Tessa, I have something for you.

- For me?

I didn't forget you, Tessa. There you go.

You can't go to a costume ball

without a costume.

Wow.

- Thank you, Divine.

- You're so welcome.

All right, girls, let the dazzling begin!

Stand up straight. Smile. Chest forward.

Out of my way, big baby!

There's a lot of Cinderellas here,

but you girls look the best.

Stand up straight, Olympia.

Hello.

On the behalf of the Halstons

and Royal Lagoons Resorts,

welcome to the VIP costume ball!

- First, one little question.

- What?

Is anyone in this room ready to get loose?

Okay, play the music!

Interesting choice of costume.

I'm a penguin.

Yes, you are.

Can you sneak away?

Uh, so we can finish the bike.

I'll waddle out somehow.

- Tessa?

- Yeah...

My hair broke.

You have to help me put It back together.

Five minutes.

How's Your mystery girl

working out for you?

She's talented, but she's flaky.

Oh, I'm sure

she has her reasons for that.

Yeah.

Maybe I just would prefer

someone I can trust.

Someone who's funny, likes to laugh,

smart, of course,

smarter than me, probably,

who's amazingly cute and waddles.

Um...

I think that should do it.

- You wanna try and start her up?

- No, do the honors.

Ah! You did it.

We did it. We totally did it.

What about Harper?

There you are. You're supposed to be

meeting with the Halstons right now!

Uh, oh, yeah.

Um, I lost track of time.

Can you give me one minute?

Oh, you need a minute?

By all means, yeah, take all the...

No, you can't have a minute!

We don't keep the big money waiting, Reed.

I'll call you later.

Let's go. Let's go.

Freddy.

The Halstons. Um, will Harper be there?

Yeah, she's flying out to surprise Reed.

I arranged It.

So they're together.

Oh, Tessa.

I know it must be a rush

being around a guy like Reed.

- He's about to become a huge star.

- I could care less about that.

Which is exactly

why Harper is so right for him.

Look, I don't know what Reed told you,

but I'm pretty sure he's gonna propose

by the end of the month.

What?

I'm sorry, Tessa, really. Sorry.

How could I have been so stupid?

I'm done. Done with the show.

I'm done with Reed,

and definitely clone with Bella Snow.

The show can't go on without Bella.

He's resourceful.

He'll figure something out.

Speaking of.

Look, this is about you.

Did you become Bella Snow to win a boy?

No.

- No, I became Bella Snow because I was...

- You were following your dream.

Freddy was a real wakeup call, Georgie.

I'm a nobody with just enough talent

to delude myself.

Tessa it's your decision,

but If you give up now,

you'll always wonder to your dying day,

what if?

God, I miss you.

I wish you were here, Dad.

Well, not exactly here.

Now, what would you do if you were me?

- Very good.

- Bravo.

Well done.

It's just... It's hard to be Cinderella

when I know my Prince Charming

is in love with someone else.

Get a grip, and focus on what's important.

Yeah, you're right.

Go back out there,

and show them who you are, okay?

- Okay.

- Let's go.

Let's go. Okay.

Do you get what's going on?

- No.

- Ugh!

That's right. We're mean.

We don't like you. You're horrible.

Ah.

Georgie?

Georgie?

Divine.

Cheerio, Bella.

I knew you smelled like cookies.

Did you really think

you could get away with this'?

Athena has the blood of a star

running through her veins,

and she will take her rightful place.

Divine, please don't do this.

"Please don't do this, Divine."

Toodle-oo.

Divine, no. No, no, no! Divine, please!

Divine, please! Can someone hear me?

Come on, think, Tessa. Think.

Georgie, is Tessa all right?

She's not answering my calls or texts.

If you really care,

why don't you ask Freddy?

- She's the one.

- But how do we find her, My Prince?

We must search the land

to find the lovely Malden

whose delicate foot

fits this glass slipper.

Why isn't Bella in position?

I don't know. I've been waiting

to dress her In... Where's her costume?

Oh. Ah.

What is wrong with you?

Why are you so fat?

- Mom!

- Let me try.

- Uh-uh. Olympia, keep watch!

- Momma...

Put your arms through the thing!

Put your arms through!

Why can't I be Cinderella?

Because, Olympia,

you're just not good enough.

- Mom, wait.

- Your arms. Come on!

- Wait. Mom!

- What?

Who's gonna play my part?

Welcome to our humble home.

His Highness requests the presence

of all the ladles of the house.

My two daughters and I are...

Where's your sister, dear?

Who cares? Maybe, she's dead!

No, I remember. She's in her room.

Silly me! How could I forget?

I meant she's far, far away in Detroit.

Hold on! Hold on!

Here I am, Mother!

- .Just keep going, and find Bella!

- How could I stay In Detroit

when it's Royal Try On a Glass Shoe day!

Why waste your princely time

on ground beef

when you could have filet mignon?

Don't be afraid. I don't bite.

Well, maybe a little bit here and there.

Actually, I'm just all cuddles.

Go ahead. Ask my sister.

- That doesn't appear to be an option.

- Uh?

What is happening out there?

I'll show Mom I'm good enough!

Stop it! Stop!

Give me that!

Stop it! You're ruining everything!

You evil girl! Come back here!

- Alas, it does not fit.

- Are you sure, Prince?

Really, really sure.

Cram it in!

I don't care! No! Just do it!

Excuse me. I must go feed the horses.

Hello, buddy.

Okay, so I'm kind of

In a situation right now.

You've got to tell me which way to go,

sugar. That way or this way?

Oh.

Okay, here we go.

No, I don't care.

We're not gonna stop the show.

- Freddy

- No... Just do It. Do It!

What are you doing? I need you out there.

- First tell me what you said to Tessa.

- Tessa?

Reed, the show's a mess.

I can't find Bella...

- Stop it!

- What're they doing?

- I don't know. I don't care.

- This is Important!

There you are, Prince dear.

Get out here, or I will cut you!

- What did you say to her? Just tell me.

- Go! Out.

No. No, no, no.

Right, if there are

no other ladies in the house,

then we must take our leave.

Unless... Hark! Do you hear something?

Um...

Maybe?

I'm sure I must have heard a noise!

Oh, you're stepping on me!

Ow. Ow.

Really?

Am I too late to try on the slipper? Ow!

Oh. Hello.

Am I too late to try on the slipper?

No! Am I too late to try on the slipper?

Oh, my God! What has gotten into you?

Stop It! No, no, no!

I'm not going back out

until you tell me what you said to Tessa.

No! It's my shoe! I'm a princess!

I'm a princess!

Girls, you're not acting like ladies!
