modern cinderella story fanfiction

Once upon a time in a modern city, there was a girl named Ella. She worked as an intern at a large tech company. The CEO, a young and handsome man named Henry, was having a grand ball to celebrate a new product launch. Ella wasn't invited, but her two mean co - workers, who were jealous of her talent, made her stay late to do their work. As she was leaving, she dropped her phone and a USB with her amazing project ideas. Henry found it and was intrigued. He tracked her down, and when he saw her in her simple but elegant work clothes, he was smitten. He invited her to the ball as his special guest, and from there, their modern - day fairy - tale romance began.

Yes, it could be. There are many modern versions of the Cinderella story that focus on 'just that girl' - an ordinary girl who experiences a fairy - tale - like transformation. These modern retellings often update the setting, the characters' occupations, and the social context while still maintaining the core elements of the original Cinderella tale such as the rags - to - riches plot, the presence of a helper (like a fairy godmother), and the search for true love.

In a big city, there was a girl named Ella. She worked hard as an intern at a large company while living with her step - family who took advantage of her. One day, there was a huge corporate event. Ella wasn't initially invited. But a kind - hearted colleague helped her get a dress and access. At the event, she met the CEO's son. They talked and danced. When the event ended, she left in a hurry and lost her bracelet. The CEO's son searched for the owner. He found Ella and realized how special she was. Eventually, they fell in love and Ella got out of her difficult situation with her step - family.

One key element is a modern - day setting. Instead of a castle, it could be a big city, a corporate office, or a college campus. Another is the modern - day equivalent of the glass slipper, which could be something like a lost phone or a USB with important information. Also, the mean characters, like the stepmother and stepsisters, can be modernized as mean colleagues, classmates, or roommates. And of course, the prince - like character can be a successful entrepreneur, a popular student, or a famous artist.

In a modern Cinderella short story, Cinderella is likely to be strong - willed. She has to be, to endure the unfair treatment from her step - family. She is creative, coming up with solutions to her problems in a world full of new challenges. For example, she might use social media or modern technology to get out of a tough situation. Also, she has a sense of self - worth, which makes her stand out and not be crushed by the negative remarks of her step - family.

The Cinderella character could be a new student at school who is not very popular and is often overlooked. For example, a girl who has just transferred from a different town. The prince could be the most popular boy in school, like Troy Bolton from High School Musical. He is good - looking, talented, and everyone wants to be around him.

To modernize it, set the story in a big city. Cinderella could be a struggling artist living in a small apartment with her mean roommates (the step - sisters). The invitation to the 'ball' could be an exclusive art exhibition. A tech - savvy friend (the fairy godmother) hacks into the system to get her an invitation and dresses her in a trendy outfit. The 'prince' could be a famous art collector. Instead of a horse - drawn carriage, she takes a fancy sports car. And the lost item could be a piece of her art that the collector discovers and uses to track her down.

Sure, there are modern interpretations and real-life stories that share similar themes to Cinderella. People often overcome difficult circumstances and find happiness unexpectedly.

Start by giving your Cinderella a unique personality and modern goals. Maybe she's a tech-savvy entrepreneur or a passionate environmental activist. Also, make the obstacles she faces relevant to today's world, like social media pressure or a competitive job market.

Yes, it could be. In modern times, many classic stories like Cinderella are reimagined. Without a phone, the girl might face difficulties similar to Cinderella's hardships, such as isolation or being left out. It could be a new take on the old story, highlighting how modern elements like phones can impact a person's situation and the journey to a 'happily ever after' in a different way.
