Fairy Godmother
Good morning, pretty girl.
Fairy Godmother
Of course it did dear.
Bella
When I looked in the mirror this morning…I totally freaked out.
Fairy Godmother
Oh my! It’s wonderful to see you so happy.
Bella
Wait…am I dreaming??
Fairy Godmother
No dear, this is no dream.
Bella
I literally had to pinch myself just now.
Bella
I don’t even recognize myself.
Bella
How did you do this??
Fairy Godmother
Don’t you worry your pretty little head about that.
Fairy Godmother
Magic is my business.
Fairy Godmother
And now, being beautiful is yours.
Bella
But I don’t understand how this is possible.
Fairy Godmother
Anything is possible.
Fairy Godmother
All you have to do is believe…
Fairy Godmother
And be willing to pay the price.
Bella
Aaah thank you!! 👯💅👸💥🎉😂🙏
Bella
My life is going to completely change!
Fairy Godmother
I’m truly happy for you, dear Bella.
Fairy Godmother
Now go out into the world and be beautiful.
Fairy Godmother
Yes dear?
Bella
My parents can’t see me looking like this.
Bella
They won’t recognize me!
Bella
They’ll wonder what happened to their ugly daughter.
Fairy Godmother
Your parents won’t notice the difference. No one will.
Fairy Godmother
It will be as if you’ve always been beautiful.
Fairy Godmother
I told you not to worry your pretty little head.
Fairy Godmother
My magic works.
Fairy Godmother
Go see for yourself.
Fairy Godmother
Your parents are waiting for you at breakfast.
Fairy Godmother
Go say hello.
Fairy Godmother
That’s a good pretty girl.
Bella goes to breakfast and sits down at the table.
Her dad looks up at her with a glowing smile.
Her mom comes over and gives her a kiss.
They don’t notice anything different about Bella.
But Bella’s parents seem different to her somehow…
Bella
I’ve never seen my parents look at me that way.
Bella
Fairy Godmother? Are you there??
Bella starts getting ready for school.
She picks out a dress her mom bought for her last summer, which she never wore.
It’s a grass green dress with cap-sleeves and lace.
She tries it on and looks in the mirror.
Bella takes a selfie and updates her profile pics.
Bella
You’re the best Fairy Godmother ever.
Bella
I never thought I would wear this dress…
Bella
But everything looks amazing on me now!
Bella

She goes to school, and just as she suspected…
Bella’s life completely changes.
Suddenly, everyone wants to be her friend.
She no longer eats lunch alone.
She joins gym class again.
And she sits with the cool crowd at the football games.

Hey! It’s Beau Williams. From AP English.
Beau
Just wanted to say congarts.
Beau
I can’t think of anyone who deserves it more.
Bella
Thanks. I was totally not expecting it.
Bella
I don’t know. I’m not very popular.
Beau
Plus, you’re a very smart gril.
Beau
GIRL. Sorry, can’t type when I’m nervous.
Bella
Why are YOU nervous?
Beau
I get nervous whenever I text with a pretty gril.
Bella
You think I’m pretty?
Beau
Why do you think you’re Homecoming Queen?
Bella
YOU’RE King! Congarts to you, too!
Beau
Thanks. Thought for sure Jake or Josh would take it.
Bella
No! You deserve it A LOT more than those guys.
Beau
Tell me why you think that.
Bella
You’re MUCH smarter.
Bella deletes the last part of the text, retypes.
Bella
You’re MUCH better looking.
Bella
Hey, can I ask you a question?
Bella
How come you’ve never talked to me before now?
Beau
I don’t know. I’m shy.
Bella
But you’re SO popular!
Beau
Doesn’t make it EZ to talk to pretty GIRLS.
Beau
I never know what to say.
Bella
You’re doing just fine.
Beau
So can I ask YOU a question now?
Beau
Since you’re Queen & I’m King...
Beau
We should go to Homecoming together.
Beau
Not cool to leave a dude hanging like this…
Bella
My mom just came into my room.
Bella
She said we’re going shopping for my Homecoming dress.
Beau
What? You don’t like to shop?
Beau
All pretty girls love to shop.
Beau
Ok. I can take a hint.
Bella
Wait. I didn’t answer your question.
Beau
If you don’t wanna go w/ me I’ll just ask someone else.
Bella hesitates a moment.
Bella
I’d love to go to Homecoming with you.
Beau
Sweet! We’ll be the hottest couple there.
