"I feel like this is my fault," Cherry moped once she was trapped in the basement with Atticus. "Lady Tremaine interrogated me!"

"I just hope Cinderella will be okay," Atticus said, hoping changing the subject wouldn't worry her too much. "You know what I always thought, Cherry?"

"What?"

"I think Lady Tremaine killed Cinderella's dad."

"What!"

"Yeah, think about it, when we first met Cinderella, her dad thought she needed a mother and her dad promised the fortune to Cinderella when he died if she were old enough, but since Lady Tremaine was an adult, she killed him!"

Cherry thought for a moment. "I get that."

"You think it really happened?" Atticus asked.

"I'm not sure, but I think you have a point. I wish there was someway we could help Cinderella."

"I know, this sucks!"

Cherry and Atticus continued to mope. There was nothing they could really do right now. Lady Tremaine probably convinced the Grand Duke that either Anastasia or Drizella fit the missing glass slipper already and they're honeymooning in the most romantic place on Earth. There was a click heard outside the door. Both orphans turned their heads to the door and saw that it was Jaq and Gus! They somehow had the key and set them free!

"Nice mice! Good mice!" Cherry cheered, dashing up the stairs.

"Mice-mice save Cherry and Atty!" Gus cheered.

"You certainly did!" Cherry bent down and carried him in her hands. "Did you guys get Cinderella?"

"Not yet, but Gus-Gus and Jaq knew Cherry and Atty needed rescued too!" Jaq replied, growing determined.

"Where Cinderelly?" Gus asked Cherry.

"I bet you Lady Tremaine got her locked in her room." Atticus suggested.

"Hurry, to the attic!" Cherry signaled, then dashed to the stairs.

The group snuck past Anastasia, Drizella, and Lady Tremaine. The Grand Duke and his assistant were trying to fit the slipper over the step-sisters' feet. Luckily for the four of them, they had failed. They then quickly went to the attic door to find Cinderella. Cherry unlocked the door and opened to Cinderella crying on her dresser in front of her mirror. She was indeed miserable. She was so sad that she didn't even notice her friends were right behind her. Cinderella lifted her head up suddenly once she felt a hand on her shoulder and turned to see Cherry, Atticus, Jaq and Gus.

"It's you guys!" Cinderella beamed with delight.

"Hurry Cinderelly, Step-Mother and Step-Sisters about to run with Princey!" Jaq cried.

"We can't let them do that, not when I'm the one who danced with the prince!" Cinderella proclaimed.

"Come on, then!" Cherry ran out with her to quickly get downstairs as soon as possible.

"Your daughters are the only ladies in the household, I hope?" the Grand Duke asked Lady Tremaine as they stayed hidden.

"There's no one else in the house, your grace." Lady Tremaine lied.

"Indeed, well," the Grand Duke turned to leave. "Good day."

"Your grace! Your grace!" Cinderella called.

"You got one more maiden!" Cherry added, referring to Cinderella and not herself.

Lady Tremaine and her daughters looked shocked. Cinderella and her friends had escaped their imprisonment. But how? The doors were locked and they were perfectly trapped! The Grand Duke looked at Cinderella. He had a good feeling about her like he knew in his heart that she was the mysterious maiden that had danced with the prince last night.

"Please sir, can Cinderella have a turn?" Cherry asked.

"Oh, pay no attention to her." Lady Tremaine persuaded the Duke.

"It's only our maid." Anastasia added.

"Yes, just an imaginative child and a couple of street urchins." Lady Tremaine said, slyly.

"Lady, my orders were every maiden." The Grand Duke went to Cinderella, ignoring the others' protests. "Come, my lady, this way."

"This is so exciting!" Cherry gushed.

"I think this is the most excited I ever seen you for anything." Atticus eyed his friend strangely.

"Oh, shut up!" Cherry glared at him.

The footman had the slipper ready. He quickly went to the Duke and Cinderella to try to see if she were the mysterious maiden. Unfortunately, on his way over, Lady Tremaine had tripped him. The man fell suddenly and the slipper fell off the pillow and shattered into a mess of pieces. The Grand Duke panicked about what the king would do and felt like he came all this way for nothing.

"Cinderella! Why don't you-" Cherry whispered an idea to Cinderella.

Cinderella nodded and turned to the distressed duke. "But, perhaps it would help-"

"No, no, nothing can help now!" the Duke cried. "Nothing!"

"But you see, I have the other slipper." Cinderella took out the glass slipper she kept overnight.

Lady Tremaine gasped with horror and shock. The duke happily took it and put it on Cinderella's foot. It was indeed a perfect fit! The mice cheered from upstairs and Cherry and Atticus shared a friendly hug with victory. Before everyone knew it, it was time for the wedding. Cherry, Atticus and the mice threw rice to Cinderella and the prince as they rode off for their honeymoon together. Lady Tremaine, Anastasia and Drizella stayed in the château. Yes, it was Cinderella, Cherry and Atticus's childhood home, but they were up to bigger and better things in the castle. Cherry became a lady in waiting and Atticus was up to do anything he wanted to do. That sounds like happily ever after, the end, doesn't it? Well, let me tell you, there's actually more to come!

A/N: There's more after this. This is the end to the 1950 original Disney movie. After this has Cinderella II: Dreams Come True in the storyline and after that will be Cinderella III: A Twist in Time. I hoped you enjoyed this for now, this was uploaded on DeviantART in April.
