nce upon a tlme, there vas a young glrl named Clnderella vho llved vay out ln the boones and vanted somethlng fun to do. So
one day, she declded to use her frequent Iyez mlles and get a free tlcket to somevhere excltlng. She made an appolntment to sell
her scrlpt to a blg producer ln Hollyvood. She alvays thought that her llfe story vould make a good movle or even a muslcal!
Later that day, taklng only a cazzy-on, she left for the alrport. She alvays belleved ln tzaveIng llght. Unfortunately, vhen she
arrlved at the alrport, she got bumged because she vas late. So, she vas put on standby for the next avallable fllght. Flnally,
several hours later and completely vlped out, she vas put on the zed-eye for Hollyvood, Callfornla!
The fllght vas so bumpy, that she started to feel alrslck and feared that she mlght have to use the baz bag. Fortunately, |ust then the
plane made a landlng ln Denver. After a tvo-hour Iayovez, she vas once agaln on her vay to Hollyvood, the land of fame and
fortune.
By the tlme she arrlved, she vas so wzed that she couldn`t sleep and stayed up tlll all houzs of the nlght. Unfortunately, the
comblnatlon of no sleep and |et Iag caused her to sIeeg ln late and mlss her appolntment vlth the producer!
She vas so dlsappolnted that she declded to take the next fllght back home. Hovever, as fate vould have lt, she found herself slttlng ln
the alrplane next to Hovard, a very handsome young man, formerly knovn as Prlnce.
Clnderella and Hovard, formerly knovn as Prlnce, fell ln love and moved to Chlcago vhere they llved happlly ever after ln a
double-vlde moblle home.
