The Legend of Zunderella - Part Two

CHAPTER FIVE

"Bye~ Zunderella~!”

Squealed Lala yet again. If you haven't figured it out by now, Lala is a squealer.

"I want every inch of this house scrubbed clean by the time we get back, you hear me?” scowled Tes.

"Oh ya, you can play with your toothbrush while we go get our USB plugged with the prince's peripherals if you know what i mean! Hahahahaha..."

That last one was either Lili or Lulu. At this point in time those two don't really have any distinguishing traits for this narrator to tell them apart.

Bang!

The door slammed shut as Zunderella squat there with her toothbrush.

She was all alone.

She started playing with her toothbrush.



CHAPTER SIX

"Oi."

"Huh..."

"Oi. Wake up."

"Wha..."

"Wake the fuck up lah, bitch."

Zunderella opened her eyes with a start. She had fallen asleep after playing with her toothbrush. Quickly, she searched the room for the voice's owner. Her eyes soon fell upon a .

"o_0".

"Aiyo! What the toot is that?", the strange girl hissed, obviously running out of patience.

"Are you my Fairy Godmother?"

Don't ask me how Zunderella arrived at this conclusion. Anyway -

Smack!

Zunderella remembered her real name.

"How in the world you mistake a chio bu for that auntie?!! Call me that again and I’ll wallop you."

"But... uh... Miss, uh..."

"Call me Fairy Pretty Jie Jie. And stop squatting there. Go get changed."

"But my clothes are all too Ah Lian for the ball..."

"How you know I’m here to help you go to the ball? Ah, never mind, since you know the story so well, i don't have to explain the whole midnight thing, right?"

"You mean the everything will change back at 12 o'clock thing?"

"No, i mean the after 12 o'clock must pay midnight charge thing."

"Oh."

"So come back early. Ok, i change you already ah, ready - Change!"

Poof!

"Wha!! So nice!! Eh... but where's the glass slippers?"

"There are silicon pads in your push-up bra. It's the silicon that matters; glass has lots of impurities that screw up the magic."

"But i must leave the slipper behind so the prince can find me later..."

"Oh, trust me, he would prefer you leave your bra behind so much more. Now get going. Shoo."

"Well... If you say so... Bye then... And thanks!"

"Oh ya, you getting there yourself ah. Not allowed to give you a carriage cos those 3 Blind Mice that drove the pumpkin knocked down some stupid uncle."



CHAPTER SEVEN

We're now at the ball.

Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty is playing in the background. The choice of music is of no significance at all, actually. (The real reason is that this narrator enjoyed the TV show Kanon and is a supporter of Mai.)

Our Zunderella was, no surprise, squatting in one corner of the palace ballroom, munching on cute octopus-shaped cocktail sausages. (Want to know how to make them octopus-shaped? Think of the osmosis experiments you did with veggie stems for Bio Practical.)

She looked like was getting bored actually. So far no one has tried to pick her up or anything. She was probably wondering whether she will die a virgin when she felt a gentle tap on her shoulder.

"Hey, wanna dance?"

It was a guy.

Knowing the author's inclination towards skimping on the actual plot while wasting words on useless trivia, it's quite safe to assume that any male character introduced at this point has got to be the Prince.

"Ok."

And they danced.

(Please go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqsvAFAMARI for a live telecast of the dance.)



CHAPTER EIGHT

This chapter is about Zunderella fighting off shape shifting monsters with her toothbrush and saving the prince. Obviously she does this while squatting. The actual writing has been outsourced, so this is just a placeholder until the manuscript gets back from India.
