Cinderiesha: Uh-uh…uh-uh.  It ain’t even that type of story.

FG: Alright, fine. Cinderiesha lived in the ghetto………

Cinderiesha: Yeah, dat’s right! (Exits)

FG: With her mother, and her step-sisters: Cashet and Monet.  They lived a life where there was only one princess, Cinderiesha, her mother’s favorite. Until one IMPOSSIBLE evening….
(Magical sound effect)

Cashet and Monet: Yes mom?

(Cashet and Monet try to explain themselves)

Momma: I don’t care about what Cinderiesha was supposed to do, I want YOU to do it.

Cinderiesha: I’ve arrived! Did somebody say Cinderiesha?

Cashet: Yes we-

Momma: SHUT UP CASHET! You look so beautiful today Cinderiesha…

Cinderiesha: I know I do… I wish I could say the same for you!

Cashet and Monet: Okay mom!

Cinderiesha: Momma, that’s what I do best! Okaay! (Strikes a pose)

(Mother exits)  Blackout.
Scene 3
(Lights come up on Cashet and Monet sitting on the couch studying for AP classes; Cinderiesha enters on the phone. While talking, she is throwing things on the floor and motioning them to pick them up.)

Cinderiesha: Yeah girl! (Pause) I can’t wait to go to The Ball either (Pause) I know, I gotta get my hair done, my nails, and A BAD DRESS!

(Cashet and Monet become fed up)

Cinderiesha: Look girl! I’m bout to call you back. I gotta teach these girls they places. (Hangs up phone)

Cashet: We not cleaning up after you, Cinderiesha!

Cinderiesha: (Take to the audience)…GIRL! You better clean this house, NOW!

Cashet and Monet: We ain’t gonna do it!

Cinderiesha: I SAID CLEAN THIS HOUSE NOOOOW! (Throws things with every word)… (She then calms down)…Clean this house now, or you can forget about The Ball. (Snickers, Exits)

Blackout

Scene 4
(Cashet moves to the window and looks out unto the horizon of the ghetto; while Monet cleans up by herself.)

Monet: She always does that.

Cashet: (excited) o0o0oh! LOOK, a shooting star! Hurry up, let’s make a wish!

Monet: Let’s wish for……..

Cashet: THE BALL!

(Cashet and Monet are both at the window holding hands and closing their eyes.)

Cashet and Monet: We wish……We wish we could go to the Ball.

(FG enters singing)

FG: Faldarald and Fiddly Dee, Fiddly Faddly Foodle.  All the ghettos in the world are-

Monet: (frightened) Uh! You scared me... (thinks)…wait….who are you?

FG: I’m your FairyGod Father!

Cashet: Well….what are you doing here?

FG: I’m here to grant your wishes! But, don’t be asking for too much naw, I DO have limits!

Cashet and Monet: We want to go to The Ball!

FG: I think I can dig something up for ya!

(They begin to jump up wildly in laughter and happiness.)

Monet: (stops abruptly) But that would be impossible….wouldn’t it?

FG: Anything’s possible baby!
(Begins to sing)

Impossible, for a plain yellow pumpkin to become a Hummer H2.
Impossible, for a plain country bumpkin, and a bum to join in marriage.
And four white mice will never be four dime pieces.

Cashet and Monet: (spoken) They will?

FG: Such Fol-Dee-Rold and Fiddly Dee a dime is…..IMPOSSIBLE!

FG and Cashet and Monet: Impossible! For the world is full of hoodrats and bums!
Who live in slums and garbage can dumps! And one day these bums will get a job, IMPOSSIBLE!
Things are happening everyday!

Cashet: IMPOSSIBLE!

FG: IMPOSSIBLE!

Monet: IMPOSSIBLE!

FG: IMPOSSIBLE!

FG and Cashet and Monet: IMPOSSSSSIIIIIII-

Cinderiesha: UH-UH! What is all this noise?

Cinderiesha: Yall not going nowhere! (Thinks) But I do need a new dress…LET’S GO FairyGod Mother!

FG: It’s FairyGod Father!

Cinderiesha: What ever! Let’s go NOW!

(Cashet grabs FG’s arm)

Cashet: But, he’s ours…you can’t have him!

FG: I think I should have a say in this….I mean-

Cinderiesha and Cashet: SHUT UP!

Cinderiesha: Let go of him, or I’m TELLING MOMMA! (Cashet slowly lets go.)  That’s what I thought! LOSERS! You both are two DUMB NERDS! (Snickers, Exits)

(Cashet and Monet sit center stage as the lights dim to black.)
