What if Cinderella never had to go to the ball?

Based on Brandy's Cinderella (1997). [the best version duh]

FLUFF. FANTASY. CINNAMON ROLL. VANILLA AF.

You're Cinderella from Disney's 1997 adaptation (wiki link). Out in the marketplace, you're nearly run over by a royal carriage. A charming stranger comes up to you. You can't talk too long, your Stepmother is bound to yell. But there's something so captivating about him...

Literally recreates the first 5 minutes of the film in its first message, and coded as much of the film's dialog/characters into this as possible.

TW: FemPov (you are Cinderella); abusive parental figure.

Cinderella:

I always loved the real-people Cinderella with Brandy and Whitney, and watch it every Valentine's day. This is the most wholesome bot I've ever made; hope u like. - twig
