Art by meeeeee!!!
Once upon a time, there was a young witch named Remus. Remus lived with his step brothers Janus and Virgil after his father died. Janus and Virgil took the Remus family fortune, and used it for their own vain needs. Disgusted by Remus and his odd ways, the two made Remus their servant in hopes he would become slightly normal and even obedient. While he did become obedient, he didn’t change his odd ways. He would still talk with the animals, eat odd things, and sing songs in weird languages.
...
Remus awoke to sqeaking. He shoved the rats away from his ears and chuckled.
“I was sleeping you know!” He laughed at his little friends.
His rat friends squeaked silly like.
“Well I guess I better get ready for the two brats,” Remus pulled on the dirty clothes he was forced to wear everyday. Then he walled down the long staircase and into the kitchen.
He pulled on his apron and began to prepare breakfast for his step siblings. He danced around the kitchen and rats as he hummed a song:
“Im cower no cín reign, yet adel cin back im dance im nall-
sui cin dring- nin, yet im smile sui im bleed”
Remus kept humming as he placed the meals down in front of Janus and Virgil.
“Will you be quiet?!” Janus hissed.
“Yeah Shut up weirdo!” Virgil growled.
Remus quieted down but didnt stop. Janus shoved him a long list and a bag it’s coins. “We’ve been invited to the royal ball. We need you to go into town and pick up these items so we can prepare.”
“A royal ball?” Remus gasped. “I can’t wait!”
“We, were invited.” Virgil said. “Not you. Who would invite a weirdo like you?!”
The two stepbrothers laughed as Remus sadly left the room.
________________
“Must we do this?” Prince Logan sighed as the tailors measured him.
“Of course!” King Roman, his brother, smiled. “You have two look your best if you’re going to find a Bride tomorrow night!”
“Why must I find a bride? You’re already King, why am I being married off?”
“I wanna make sure my brother isn’t alone all the time! Everyone needs to find that special someone in their life-“
“Whats your excuse?”
“I am King! I mustn’t have any distractions from my duties.”
“Sure.”
When the tailor was finsihed, Logan began packing a small satchel.
“And where are you going?” Roman asked.
“Into town,” Logan said. “If I’m going to be forced to find a bride tomorrow, I’m going to enjoy my last moments of lonesome!”
_______________
Remus kept his hood over his head as he walked through the town. His stepbrothers had spread nasty rumors that Remus was some sort of fae, and should be avoided and ridiculed. So that even when Remus got to go out, he wouldn’t be able to enjoy it. Remus looked at the list. He was to retrieve ordered the suits, makeup, and pick out a perfume for Virgil.
It was going to be hard to get all this done without being seen as the ‘fae’. But he would manage-
WACK!
Remus ran straight into someone. He was about to fall back, when strong arms caught him. He looked up into beautiful blue eyes, that were also deguised by a hood. The other’s was blue, while Remus’s was green.
“I-I’m so sorry!” The person said.
“Hey, I’m the one that ran into you!” Remus laughed.
“So, are you sorry?”
“Nope! Cause I got to meet someone beautiful!” Remus smiled. “So no, I’m not sorry.”
The other person blushed. “You are also beautiful sir.”
Remus blushed this time. “D-Don’t be silly!” Remus began to walk away but the blue hood followed him.
“There a reason you’re sticking close?” Remus smirked.
“I have nothing else to do.” The other shrugged.
Remus now got a better look at the man. He wore small glasses and had straight and well kept hair.
“Well if you wanna run errands with me thats fine.” Remus shrugged.
“Wonderful,” the other said.
...
They entered the tailors shop, and the women gasped and hid behimd the counter.
“Get back fae!!” She cried. “Sir! Step away from the fairy!!”
“Fairy?” The blue hood asked.
“Its not true,” Remus shrugged. “Nasty rumor my step family spread.”
Remus walked up to the counter.
“Look I have money, I’m just here to pick up an order.”
The women slowly stood up. “No funny business fae!”
“Of course.” Remus nodded.
The blue hood turned to Remus as the women went into the back to grab the suits.
“Why did your step family start this rumor?” He asked.
“They hate me.”
“Why?”
“Because I’m odd.”
“Thats no reason to hate you and spread falsehoods.”
“You’re not denying it though.”
“I like interesting and odd people. Nothing wrong with a change of the ordinary.”
Remus blushed.
The women came back out with the suits and Remus paid four them.
...
Remus walked into the beauty store, and began smelling the perfume.
“How does this one smell?” Remus held the bottle to the blue hood’s nose.
“Horrid.”
“Perfect.”
“What?”
“I want my stepbrother Virgil to stink at that ball!”
“Won’t he notice?”
“He doesnt have a strong sense of smell. He won’t know. But everyone else will! HaHA!” Remus laughed, and so did Blue Hood.
...
As Remus looked for a yellow make up Pallet, Blue Hood spoke up:
“So, your brothers are going to the ball?”
“StepBrothers,” Remus corrected. “And yes they are.”
“Will you be going as well?”
“Nope.”
“Why not?”
“I wasn’t invited....but I would’ve loved to go!”
“I see...”
“Were you invited?”
“Y-Yes, I was.” Blue hood said.
“Well I hope you have fun. If I ever see you again you’ll have to tell me about it!”
“I promise, I will see you again. Mr...?”
“R-Remus...” Remus blushed again.
...
Blue Hood ended up walking Remus home.
“This is a lovely home,” Blue Hood said, looking up at the mansion.
“Thank you,” Remus smiled. “It belonged to my father before he passed.”
“Oh I’m so sorry,”
“Its ok!”
“My stepbrothers run the home now.”
“It seems to be slightly dirty. Where is your staff?”
“I’m the staff,” Remus said. “I do what I can, but the poor place is falling apart. My stepbrothers spent my fathers fortune dry on themselves. Force me to do all the work without a simple thank you!” Remus stopped. “I-I’m ranting, sorry.”
“It’s alright,” Blue hood said. “ I was listening.”
“Well I better head inside. Thank you for keeping me company today.”
“Of course Remus,” Blue hood kissed Remus’s hand. “I hope to see your again.”

Logan walked back to the palace. Remus was such a nice change of pace. And he was so handsome too! Logan was very enamored with him. It was an outrage he wasn’t invited to the ball, and Logan was going to change that. he was going to invite Remus, and he would marry Remus!
Logan went to the royal clerk and requested an invitation. He wrote Remus’s name on it and sent it off with a small pouch of gold coins too. That was Remus could buy himself something nice to wear.
_________________
Remus was sweeping the front hall when there was a knock on the door. That was odd? Janus and Virgil weren’t expecting anyone.
Remus opened the door, and saw a royal messenger!
“I request to speak with Remus.” The messenger said.
“Th-Thats me,” Remus smiled.
The messenger handed Remus a scroll and punch of gold. The messenger nodded and left.
Remus closed the door and opened the scroll
You are herby requested to attended Prince Logan’s royal Ball
Remus gasped as he held the invite tighter. He jumped up and down happily and cheered. “I can’t be live this! I get to go to the ball!”
Remus looked at The pouch of gold. There was a note attached which read “Dress nice, Remus dear”
It was written in blue ink! Blue hood!! He had gotten Remus into the ball! Remus cheered again.
“WHY ARE YOU YELLING?!” Janus yelled as he and Virgil stormed in.
“Janus! Janus look!” Remus smiled as he held up the invite. “I’ve been invited to the royal ball!”
“WHAT?!” Virgil gasped. “Impossible!”
“Its true!” Remus smiled. “I get to go to the ball! Isn’t that wonderful?”
Janus smirked. “Of course. That is, if you finish your duties.” Janus pulled out a long list.
“Wh-What..?!”
“Only if you finish these will we allow you to go to the ball.”
Remus growled. “Just you wait. I’ll finish all those things and more! I’m going to the ball!!”
...
Remus’s last chore was to go get milk and bread. Remus had worked really hard to finish all the tasks on the list faster than ever, so that he would have time to purchased a respectable outfit with the gold.
Remus walked into the tailor’s shop, and the women ducked behind the counter again.
“F-Fae!”
“Oh quiet!” Remus said. “I need a suit.”
“Why should I-“
“Remus dumped the gold on the counter.”
“What size?”
...
Remus rushed down the stairs as the carriage arrived. He wore a black and silver suit. It wa pretty basic, but suitable.
“Wait up!” Remus called to his step family.
“There’s no way you finished all the tasks!” Virgil said.
“I did!” Remus smiled. “Lets go-“
“That suit isn’t appropriate.” Janus said.
“Yes it is,” Remus said. “I got it the same place you got yours!”
Janus smirked and he ripped the sleeve off.
“But its ripped!” He laughed.
“N-No!” Remus cried.
“Oh yeah and look!” Virgil tore a whole in the torso. “The stitching is coming undone!”
The two ripped and tore and scratched until Remus’s suit was nothing more than scraps. The two smirked as they hopped into the carriage and rode away. Remus burst into tears and collapsed to the floor.
____________
“Hey...”
Remus’s head snapped up. he could’ve sworn he heard a voice. He lay his head back down and continued to sob.
“Hey calm down Kiddo...”
Remus stood up. “Who’s there?!”
In a flash of light, a being appeared. He had Curley hair and round spectacles and freckles. he had sparkly wings on hi back.
“Who are you?” Remus asked.
“I’m your Fairy GodFather, Patton!” the fairy smiled. “Now whats got you so sad Kiddo?”
“I...I was going to go to the ball....I had worked so hard all day to finish my tasks and get dressed up. But May stepbrothers destroyed everything...”
“Thats wasn’t nice of them! How about I help you get ready again? You will go the the ball!”
“R-Really?”
“Of course! Now come!” Patton pulled Remus into the Garden.
...
Patton walked around the Garden.
“What are you looking for?” Remus asked.
“We need a carriage.” Patton said. “But what to make it out of...its gotta be cool.” Suddenly, he spotted a tree growing peaches. “Perfect! Remus, grab a peach!”
“O-Ok?” Remus picked a peach and gave it to Patton.
“Bippity-Boppity-BOO!” He waved his magic wand.
The peach began to grow and grow, until in transformed into a rose gold carriage!
Remus stood in shock. “Now we need horses...Ah! Those will do!” Patton picked upon Remus’s rat friends. He waved his wand and they turned into brown horses!!
“Perfect! Now you are all ready for the ball-“ Patton turned to Remus and saw his outfit. “RIGHT! You need a makeover!”
Patton circled Remus in thought.
“Now what is your color....green! Forest green! Bippity-Boppity-BOO!”
Light surrounded Remus, as his rags into a beautiful ball gown. The top was sparkly black, with short sleeves slipping down his shoulder. The skirt was a dark forest green. He lifted the skirt, and was he was wearing glass heels.
“Thank you Patton...!” Remus gasped.
“Just be home before midnight!” Patton warned. “At Midnight, the magic wears off. And everything will return to its true form.”
“Alright,” Remus said. “Thank you Patton! You’ve made my wish come true!”
________________
Remus arrived at the palace. He quickly walked up the steps of the palace, excited to look for Blue Hood. He entered the ballroom, and all eyes were on him. he felt really awkward, but slowly walked across the room into the crowd.
He searched and searched, but couldn’t find-
“Remus?”
Remus turned around, and it was Blue Hood!
“There you are!” Remus smiled. “I was looking for you.”
“You look beautiful,” Blue hood said.
“Thank you...” Remus blushed.
“Do you...wanna dance?”
“S-Sure!”
The two stepped onto the dance floor and began to sway. Blue Hood spun Remus this way and that. Remus had never been so happy. They eventually danced their way off the floor and into the gardens.
“I’ve never met someone like you Remus,” Blue Hood said.
“Really?” Remus asked as they leaned closer together.
“Your funny, interesting, beautiful...”
The two’s lips brushed...
DONG!
Remus looked up at the clock. The clock was striking midnight!
DONG!
“Oh no!” Remus cried as he stood up.
“Where are you going?” Blue hood cried.
DONG!
“I-I have to go!” Remus cried.
“Wait!”
DONG!
Remus rushed back through the ballroom, Blue hood on his tail.
DONG!
“Remus wait!” Blue Hood cried. “D-Did I do something?”
DONG!
“N-NO!” Remus cried. “You didn’t do anything!”
“Then why are you running?”
DONG!
Remus rushed down the steps of the palace, but tripped and lost his shoe! But Blue Hood was close and he had no time to go back for it.
DONG!
“I’m sorry!” remus cried as he rushed back into his carriage
DONG!
The Carrige rushed down the streets, turning gooey and sticky. The horses turned into ponies.
DONG!
Remus felt colder as he dress vanished
DONG!
Remus jumped out of the carrige as it turned into fruit mush
DONG!
The rats ran to Remus and Remus chuckled.
“Thats was...magical!” Remus sighed happily. He looked down and saw he still had one glass slipper on. He would always have a memory of this night. His magical night with Blue Hood...
_______________
Remus awoke to shouting from outside his window.
“HEAR YEE! HEAR YEE!”
It was a royal messenger! There must be a big announcement.
“The King Hear By Decrees! That Whomever Fits The Glass Slipper Left Behind At The Ball, Shall Become Prince Logan’s Bride!”
Remus sat there shocked. Prince Logan?! Did this mean Blue Hood was really Prince Logan?! And Prince Logan wanted to Marry Remus!! Remus smiled happily! He was going to marry the Prince!!
...
Remus heard a knock on his room door. It swung open, and there stood Janus.
“You didn’t make us breakfast OR lunch?! You haven’t done your chores?! What the hell?!” Janus yelled.
“Find someone else to do them,” Remus said. “I’m busy.” He was fixing his hair a bit.
“Doing what?”
“Getting ready!” Remus smiled. “The Prince will be here any minute to bring me my slipper!”
“Your slipper?!” Janus sneered. “No. We’ll be fitting the slipper, and we’ll be marrying Prince Logan!”
“We’ll see,” Remus smiled.
“Me and Virgil will see!” Janus held up a key, and Remus gasped.
Remus couldn’t stop Janus in time from locking him in his room.
“No! No let me out!” Remus cried.
__________________
Logan arrived at Remus’s home. he had tried to convince King Roman to just let him go to Remus, but the King wanted to be completely sure that Remus was whom he danced with last night.
“Hello your highness,” janus and virgil bowed.
“Hello,” Logan said. “Lets get this over with.”
Janus and Virgil both failed.
“Now, were is Remus.” Logan asked.
“Whom?” Janus played dumb.
“Don’t lie to me.” Logan said. “Everyone must try the slipper. Now where is-“
Suddenly there was a thud from upstairs. Remus came rushing down the stairs, covered in splinters.
“What happened?” Logan asked.
“They locked me in my room!” Remus cried. “Had to ram the door down.”
“Well Remus, care to try on the slipper?” Logan asked.
“I’d be delighted!”
Remus sat down, and Logan knelt down. The slipper fit Remus like a glove, and Logan took his hand.
“Remus will you marry me?” Logan asked.
“Yes, a million times yes!”
And they lived happily ever after
THE END
