Cindy no longer believed in them. She'd gotten what everyone assumed was a happy ending. But in the end, all her fairy godmother gave her was what she thought was going to make her happy. Maybe she would have been, with Prince Charming. If it hadn't been his third marriage, and he was a cheating bastard that she wished she had never met before.

Happy right now was all she could do, back home, and even here in the Capitol. No more happy endings.

Cindy raised an eyebrow. "What did... oh! Different timeline, things, whatever. Well, you know, that whole Gulf War ordeal, and the Invasion of Iraq thing. It's been years since then, so it's not like they haven't had time to rebuild. But they seem the best thing to help the city is to make glamorous hotels and lure people into being tourists. Not really a bad deal, the place is very pretty, and the rooms are really nice."
