"Pixie dust? Happy thoughts?" Ella blinked. "You mean it's sort of like... magic?"

Peter flew down from the house rooftop, to where the girl was standing. He hovered above her. "Hello! What's your name?"

   Ella had been picking a few bouquets of flowers, so she could replace the withered ones in the vases around the house.  As soon as she heard a voice, she spun around, not seeing anyone.  Then she realized she was standing in a shadow. Above her was a boy floating!  ”Oh! Um… uh… H-hello… I’m Ella.. h-how are you floating like that?”

By The Sea ~♡~ Ariel & Cinderella

    It wasn't very often that Ella found herself in the market these days, but she always enjoyed whatever time she could spend away from her house.   The ships had just come in, so the harbor was bustling.  She loved the mist the wind blew off of the ocean water. It was even more fun to walk along the warm sand....   Ella remembered a small plot of island, right under a bridge coming into town she had discovered once when she was younger. Was it still there?  She had a while before she was expected at home... she could explore.     -- She would not lose track of time today! Like usual...   Avoiding the incoming carriages on the bridge, Ella crept through a small space between where the bridge ended and the market cobblestones began. It lead her down a steep hill. Minding her balance, she found her way safely down to the little beach.  It felt so private here, she just loved it.  Giggling with excitement, she slipped off her shoes and walked barefoot along the wet sand, as small waves washed up against her skin.  The breeze was nice and cool down below the bridge, seeing as it was in the shade.  She could stay there all day, but she knew she couldn't.      -- She didn't want to think about that...  Sea shells lined the shore. Ella bent down to pick one up and admire it.  Everything was quite still.   Then suddenly, Ella heard a voice... it sounded like a girl....?  But there was no one around....  "H-Hello?"

The story of “Cinderella” follows the fortunes of young Ella whose merchant father remarries following the tragic death of her mother. Keen to support her loving father, Ella welcomes her new stepmother Lady Tremaine and her daughters Anastasia and Drisella into the family home. But, when Ella’s father suddenly and unexpectedly passes away, she finds herself at the mercy of a jealous and cruel new family. Finally relegated to nothing more than a servant girl covered in ashes, and spitefully renamed Cinderella, Ella could easily begin to lose hope. Yet, despite the cruelty inflicted upon her, Ella is determined to honor her mother’s dying words and to “have courage and be kind.” She will not give in to despair nor despise those who abuse her. And then there is the dashing stranger she meets in the woods. Unaware that he is really a prince, not merely an employee at the Palace, Ella finally feels she has met a kindred soul. It appears as if her fortunes may be about to change when the Palace sends out an open invitation for all maidens to attend a ball, raising Ella’s hopes of once again encountering the charming “Kit.” Alas, her stepmother forbids her to attend and callously rips apart her dress. But, as in all good fairy tales, help is at hand as a kindly beggar woman steps forward and, armed with a pumpkin and a few mice, changes Cinderella’s life forever. [x]

((I'm 1/2 tempted to change my FC.... idk yet.... :/  Right now I have Emilie de Ravin who I adore! But...  There's also the runner up which was Jennifer Lawrence.... >.>

 Votes??))

   "My name is, Ella," she said with a smile. "It's nice to meet you, Eugene. Oh yes... the rabbits tend to dig rather big holes around here... best to always watch your step."  She chuckled.  "Are you alright? You seem to be limping..."

       The man she’d noticed was partially squatting, rubbing the ankle section of his boots. But upon hearing her, he straightened, and turned around with a slight limp to his steps from previously mentioned foot.

"Ah, yes I’ll be fine. I just… stepped in a hole a minute ago," he replied, half frowning at his lack of watching where he was going. But the expression shifted to a lighter mood a few moments later as he added curiously, "Name’s Eugene, and you are..?"

     Ella had decided to go on a walk, given that her stepmother and stepsisters had left for a few hours of needless shopping...  She had finished the chores for the afternoon and she was pleased she would finally have some time to just enjoy the lovely, sunny weather.  It had been so long sense she was outside just for fun.    -- Usually the only time she was outside was when she was tending to the garden or hanging laundry...      The breeze was wonderfully cool and refreshing.  As she walked along the dirt path, she noticed someone up ahead... it looked like they were in a bit of a pickle.  "Um... excuse me? A-are you alright?"
