Fairytale News Live

by Jenny W, Toronto, Canada, Age 12

Kim: Welcome back to Fairytale News Live! Today’s topic is Cinderella’s missing glass slippers. Let’s switch to reporter Tom.

Tom: Thanks Kim, I’m here with Cinderella at her stepmother’s house trying to help her find her glass slippers. Everyone is at the ball. The fairy godmother came here five minutes ago and casted the magic. The plan was supposed to work like this. Cinderella goes to the ball, dance with the prince, and runs home before midnight, purposely leaving a glass slipper behind. Therefore, the prince will search all land for her and marry her.

The problem is, the glass slippers were stolen when Cinderella went to fetch her socks. None of us saw who took it. The minute she came back, it was—poof, gone.
The fairy godmother is on vacation far, far away in California. We’ll never have time to find her. There is only an hour left before the ball officially begins. We’ll have to find the slippers ourselves.

Kim: So, I guess it depends on reporter Tom to solve this mystery. Will they find it in time? The answer will be resolved after commercials.

(Commercials)

Kim: It’s Fairytale News Live! Tom, how are you and Cinderella doing?

Tom: We’ve been walking through the woods and saw a little house. The house belongs to a boy named Jack and his mother. Beside the house, there was a humongous beanstalk that leads to a castle. Inside the castle lives a giant. Jack mentioned that the giant likes to collect treasures.
Cinderella, what do you think?

Cinderella: My glass slippers must be there.

Tom: We will be climbing the beanstalk after lunch at Jack’s house.

(After lunch)

Tom: That pizza was good! Anyways, we’ve packed for the long trip, parachutes, flashlights, bits of paper, helmets, cheese and crackers, and detergent.”

Cinderella: Check, check, and double check. We probably don’t need all of those things, Tom.

Tom: You’ll never know when things will come in handy.

(On top of the beanstalk, in the castle)

Tom: I don’t see anything, do you?

Cinderella: No, maybe the giant didn’t steal my slippers.

Tom: Let’s get out of here.

Giant: Fee Fi Fo Fum! Who’s entered my castle?

Tom: It’s the giant, RUN!!! Can’t talk right now Kim, we’re being chased by the giant. At least the parachutes and helmets came in use.

(In a forest)

Tom: I think we lost the giant.

Cinderella: There’s only half an hour left to find my slippers.

Tom: Look, there is another house. There are seven chairs and seven beds. It must belong to the seven little dwarfs.

Cinderella: Do you hear that?

Tom: Here what?

Cinderella: Someone’s singing with the birds. It’s Snow White, my best friend. Oh, I haven’t seen you in so long.

Tom: Remember about the slippers, Cinderella.

Cinderella: Oh ya, slippers.

Snow White: Are you talking about those silvery, high-heeled, glass slippers?

Cinderella: Yes, you’ve seen my slippers?

Snow White: The queen came here half an hour ago sending me poisoned apples, I saw them on her feet, I knew she looked suspicious.

Tom: She tried to poison you?

Snow White: Yup, but she doesn’t really realize that—well, I know it’s poisonous.

Cinderella: The wicked queen stole my slippers, where does she live?

Snow White: She lives at the edge of the forest.

Tom: Cinderella, I’ve got an idea. We’ll take some of those poisoned apples to poison the queen. That’s called, “What goes around, comes around. Quick, we only have 20 minutes left.”

Kim: They’ve got an idea, but will they make it on time? You’ll find out after more commercials.

(More commercials)

Kim: Fairytale News Live! Tom, where are you guys?

(Queen’s palace)

Tom: We are sitting in the Queen’s room with her best friend—the mirror. She seems to have this huge mental problem. We’ve been sitting in the room for 10 minutes and she’s been asking the mirror the same questions over and over again, “Who’s the fairest of all?” The mirror keeps on repeating, “Snow White, Snow White.” Whenever the queen heard the answer, she gets more and more upset. Also, she let us in just because we told her that we’re from this beauty salon.
Pssst… Cinderella, we’d better let her drink the apple juice we made from her poisoned apples and detergent before she blows.

Cinderella: You’re right. Um, you’re Majesty….

Queen: Wait a minute, I recognize you from somewhere, are you sure you’re from the beauty salon?

Cinderella: You probably got me mixed up with some other girl.

Queen: I must be, now-a days, girls look very alike.

Cinderella: I shall continue, you’re Majesty. This is our beauty salon’s best quality food. I will give it to you for 25% off and no tax.

Queen: Yes, money isn’t the problem, as long as I become the fairest of all.

Cinderella: Yes you will, if you drink it. It is satisfaction guaranteed!

Queen: It tastes a bit odd.

Tom: That’s how it works, the worst it tastes, the better it is.
“KABOOM!” Down goes the queen, flat, face down on the floor.
Tom: Hurry, we only have 3 minutes before the ball starts, take your slippers off the queen’s feet. I’ll get her car keys and her Volkswagen.

(At the ball out of breath)

Tom: Run inside Cinderella, the ball has already started.

Cinderella: Thank you Tom, if it weren’t for your help, I would still be the poor, lonely girl living with my evil stepmother and my two cruel stepsisters.

Tom: I’m just doing my job as a reporter.

Cinderella: Farewell!

(Switching back to Fairytale News)

Kim: Congratulations Tom, for solving the mystery, you will definitely get a raise.

Tom: It’s a pleasure for me to help out.

Kim: That’s all for today at Fairytale News Live. We’ll see you tomorrow at 8pm.
