A few hours went by and Starlight finally arrived at the ball. It was hosted in a castle where all the families were invited to enjoy the dance by order for the prince. She took a deep breath and headed inside. In the castle everyone was wearing a dress or a tux looking lovely. Then the sounds of trumpets gathered everyone's attention as Starlight finally got in the throne room with everyone.

"We present Prince Spike the First!!" A guard said.

Then everyone clapped as a very handsome prince came down the stairs and waved to everyone. He was a handsome dragon wearing a crown, A nice outfit that fits the title Prince, black boots and two medals. He smiled seeing everyone at the ball tonight.

"Good evening ladies and gentlemen. I welcome you here tonight and hope you enjoy the dance. And if there's any lovely ladies who want to share a dance with me you are more than welcome to." Spike said.

This made two ladies: Adagio and Arms real excited but like always they fought over who gets do you know what. But then Spike got his attention from Starlight as he headed to her.

"Gosh. Who is that lovely princess? Spike thought.

He finally got to her and bowed in respect and she did the same.

"Well hello. I am Prince Spike. Who might you be?" He said.

"I..um.well. It certainly is an honor to meet you Prince Spike." Starlight said nervously.

"Oh don't worry everyone feels nervous when meeting me. Would you like a dance?" Spike said.

"Oh of course Prince Spike. Let's." Starlight said as Spike took her hand and began waltzing.



They waltzed lovely on the dance floor as everyone smiled adorable seeing the prince dancing with his princess. But Adagio and Aria were not happy with it and decided to leave in anger. While Spike and Starlight were dancing she couldn't help but sing in her head knowing that the dream was finally coming true. She found her love and Spike found his princess. After the song they stared in each other's eyes never losing contact.

"Oh Spike. You were amazing." Starlight said.

"As were you. You truly were lovely yourself. No one can say otherwise." Spike said.

After a few hours they were about to share a passionate kiss but Starlight as the time was almost to midnight. Then she realized what her fairy godmother said.

"Midnight? Oh no! I have to go!" Starlight said as she ran out.

"Wait! Don't go! I don't even know your name! Please come back!" Spike said chasing her.

Starlight went out the door and made her way down the stairs. But one of her glass slippers came off and when Starlight tried to get it she saw Spike.

"Wait! Don't leave please!" Spike said.

"Im sorry but I must!" Starlight said in tears as she got in the carriage and rode off. Spike tried to stop her but he was too late.

"Where did she go? How will I ever find her now?" Spike said disappointed.

Then one of his guards came to him and found the glass slipper on the stairs.

"Your Highness. Look." A guard said showing him the slipper.

"Of course. The glass slipper. Tell my father this: When I find the girl who's foot fits the glass slipper then I will be destined to marry her!" Spike said.

"Yes your Highness." The guard said leaving to do his task.

"Never fear my lady. I won't rest til I find you. Your prince is coming." Spike said as he whistled to signal A guard to company him on his quest.
