Her fairy godmother magically provided her with a beautiful gown and glass slippers, warning that the magic would end at midnight. Cinderella danced with and fell in love with the prince but fled before midnight, losing a slipper. The prince searched for the slipper's owner and it only fit Cinderella, who he then married.
