This is SOOOO Cute! Cinderella in space, told in rhyme (only occasionally forced). Cinders is a crackerjack mechanic this time around, and she really wants to see the Prince's ship parade, but the evil family steals her toolbox and leaves her behind. Fairy god-robot steps in to save the day, and Cinders fixes the Prince's ship before zooming off at midnight. Instead of a shoe, the crystal is a special socket wrench (shades of sonic screwdrivers here) and the stepsisters are set to trying to fix the Prince's ship instead of cutting off their feet. Happy ending is skewed too, in just the right way: Cinders isn't interested in marriage, but she will take a job offer as the Royal Mechanic!
So cute, and a great updated take on the classic.
