Seanderella
   This is a fanfic based on Lyn's Claris Project. You don't have to be familiar with her characters to like this but it may be less disturbing if you do ^^
   Seanderalla sat by the fireplace a brooding look on his soot covered face. "Stupid stepbrothers....making me clean and cook and wash and mend. One day I'll get them back...oh yes and they won't even see it coming." he muttered to himself.
  As he was scrubbing a cute little mouse with enormous eyes scurried up. It sat on it's hind legs. "Hi! Wanna be friends? There are lots of other mice here and we'll help you do your chores and be best friends forever and ever and ever!"
  Seanderella glared at the mouse, thrust his fingers through his dirty purple hair, and said "I don't like mice. In fact I hate mice."
  "But I'm a good mouse. I can help you! I'm cute and furry and children love me!"
  Seanderella picked up a nearby board and hit it with it. It made a loud splat noise.
  "Now your a dead mouse."
  Seanderella worked all day and towards the end of the day his eyelids started to droop and he laid his head back for a short nap. He was abruptly awoken by his two stepbrothers Necavi and Alistair.
  "What are you doing sleeping? Your supposed to me fixing our dresses for the ball!" Necavi sneered.
  "I don't see why I have to fix your stupid dresses when I don't even get to go to the ball! And besides I already fixed them. Here." He handed the dresses to them.
  "You don't get to go to the ball because your ugly. We get to go to the ball because we are pretty. So there." Alistair chirped as they went off to get ready.
  Seanderella wanted to go to the ball. He really really did but since his stepmother,Kai,and his stepbrothers moved in he never got to do anything fun. Just an endless amount of chores. He sat down and stared morosely into the fire. A couple of minutes later something was tickling his ear. He absently swatted at it and felt a sharp pain.
  "Ouch!" He looked behind him. It was a small fairy in a purple dress and it had bitten his finger.
  "I'm Lucius your fairy godmother and I don't like to be swatted at!" he said baring his teeth.
  "Don't you mean godfather?"
  "This is a fairy tale. It's supposed to be warm and fuzzy and things don't have to make sense. Now shut up! I have to get you ready for the ball." Lucius wiggled his fingers and a wand appeared in his hand. "Now I shall give you a beautiful dress." he said and with a wave and a poof an enormous blue gown with pink bows appeared on Seanderella.
  "What?! I'm a guy! Put me in a tuxedo or something!" Seanderella flapped his arms around wildly.
  "I am trying to help you and if you do not stop complaining I will turn you into the ugliest stupidest toad in all creation!!" Lucius yelled the veins in his neck bulging.
  "Yeah..um...ok but can you at least get rid of the bows?"
  "Sure" With a poof the pink bows disappeared and a pair of glass slippers appeared on Seanderella's feet.
  "Great. How am I supposed to walk in these?"
  "Very carefully." Lucius replied and started laughing then he waved his wand again and a honking noise rang out.
  "Whats that?"
  "Your carriage or rather your stretch limo awaits my dear." Lucius replied.
  "Finally! Something cool." Seanderella slowly walked to the front door and got in the limo.
  "Have a good time Seanderella and remember you have to leave at midnight! Midnight!" Lucius yelled after him.
  Seanderella was having the time of his life. The limo was stocked with all kinds of alcohol and Jerry Springer was on the tube. Jerry was just starting his 'Why this show is good' speech at the end when they arrived at the ball.
  Seanderella gingerly walked up the steps to the palace,holding his dress up. "This dress is chafing me. Is that a corset digging into my ribs? Ow!" The butler bowed to him and then turned around and announced "Seanderella." . It seemed that every head in the ballroom turned towards him and he was bathed in a soft glow. He walked onto the ballroom floor and started dancing.
  His stepmother,Kai, and his stepbrothers,Necavi and Alistair, peered at him. "Is that Seanderella?" Alistair asked. "Nah....it can't be. No..it's not him." Necavi answered. They were a bit miffed that noone had asked them to dance.
  Prince Claris was also watching Seanderella. She leaned over and asked her father,Tialiel, who that beautiful guy was.
  "I don't see why I have to be the king. Why couldn't I be the queen? I'm much prettier and charming than Metatron." King Tialiel muttered. He glared at Queen Metatron who just shrugged his shoulders. Prince Claris tapped him on the shoulder.
  "Stop pouting and s-s--ti-c-ck to the sc-c-crip-p-t!"
  King Tialiel sighed angrily and said woodenly "I do not know who that enchanting man is. Why don't you go ask him for a dance?"
  Prince Claris walked onto the ballroom floor and cut in on Seanderella and his partner. They looked into each others eyes and time seemed to stop just for them. They danced for hours and hours lost in each other until Seanderella heard a bell ring. It was the clock chiming midnight. He grabbed his dress and ran. Prince Claris followed but was too late. He had disappeared leaving only a rather large glass slipper. She picked it up and vowed to find him again.
  The next day Prince Claris traveled through the whole kingdom looking for the person who could fit into the glass slipper. When she arrived at Seanderella's house she tried the slipper on both of them but their feet were too small. She saw Seanderella cleaning up and asked him if he wanted to try it on. His stepmother and brothers objected strenuously but he just smiled and sat down. The shoe fit, of course.
  "I have been s-s-s-ea-r-r-c-ching for y-o-o-u all day my l-o-o-o-ve. Will you be my princ-c-c-e-s-s?" Prince Claris asked. Seanderella grinned and replied "No but I'll run away and join the circus with you. I'll be the lion tamer and you can be the tightrope walker. When we get done with that we will travel the world. Your dad's got lots of dough,right?" Prince Claris smiled at him and they left the house with Kai and his stepbrothers screeching after him while Lucius hovered in the doorway,a pleased grin on his face.
  And they lived happily ever after...mostly.
