Darren's Dilemma Chapter Fourteen
Another Testy School Day
By Suzie Q Haff

I awoke to hear little bell chords and other gentle fairy sounds in my ears and realized it was the disk. Jana turned me to face her and took the earphones out.

Jana gently kissing me: "I," Kiss, "Love," Kiss, "you. I do not want to get up. I would rather stay here and kiss you into oblivion!"

Darla: "Yea well, I have an English paper for a final and you have to go make the ladies of our little community gorgeous!" I rolled her over on her stomach and gently kissed her starting at her neck and biting her shapely round ass.

Jana jumps a little: "OUCH! Do it again!" This time I sucked a spot on her butt cheek and made a purple hickey. "I'll fix you!" She giggles. "I am going to show that off to all the girls at the salon!"

Darla taunts: "Yea like that so really bothers me!"

Jana sly grin: "Oh it will. Trust me!"

We set about all the normal morning things like my bubble bath and her shower. Then we scrubbed our faces, brushed teeth, sprayed each other with Skin So Soft, and had a short fairy dust fight! Jana followed me to lay out my clothes. I laid out a pair of my normal grunge look jeans and a cotton T shirt two sizes, to big. She looked at me and shook her head no and mouthed it. She got out a pair of stretch jeans with a pink daisy, on the hip pocket and small and pink zippers with tiny pink daisy pulls on the bottom of each leg on the outside (Without the zippers getting these on would have been impossible because they were so tight.) Next she got out my pink, satin, tank top and a pink cami. She also got out a pink girdle, training bra, and my pink and blue sneakers.

Darren scared to death: "Here we go again! This is to girly!"

Jana confidently: "Naw. Just up another notch from yesterday! Don't forget how much power you have and Queen Mother is watching. I have a white blouse you may wear as an over shirt." She went and got the blouse and it was white satin with a Peter Pan collar, short sleeves and a long tail. "I am going to go get my corset on and be back, in a jiffy, so we can lace each other up."

She returned in one of her black, satin corsets and I had my panty girdle and training bra on by then. I tightened her corset this morning, at the waist, until the sides touched and then worked my way to the top then finished the bottom. I thought for certain she would be huffing and puffing!

Jana just slightly breathing hard: "Ooo Gawd, I love being hugged by my corsets. I feel so pretty in them!" Then she pulled my draw strings tighter than ever before and I was struggling to breathe as she left giggling. "Just not tough enough to be a girl!"

I rolled my nylons on and shivered from the slippery delicious feeling of touching my legs with them on. The spandex, panty portion of my corset held my boy parts firmly against me and the silky, satin cami over my training bra sent chills all over me. I noticed that my trainer seemed to be tightening and went to ask Jana what she thought.

Jana cupping my blossoming boobs: "Well Sweetheart, ah, I think we are getting close to needing a real bra! You are beginning to develop faster since we stopped giving you guy juice." She twitched my right nipple with her nail thru the bra and I winced and shivered. "Yes ma'am! There is definite growth there. It must be the fairy genes working their special magic."

Darren: "Queen Mother Millicent knew exactly what she was doing! I never did stand a chance did I?"

Jana shakes her head no: "I did not know about the fairy genes until you came home dressed in that pink dress from Aunty's looking so feminine and fluffy. After Mother told you about a hormone deficiency and left you to yourself, she told me about the gene implant. Sweetheart I will not give you a choice! You are mine and it is going to stay that way for as long as I have control! I like it this way. I want a girl lover and you are going to be it. Your Queen has spoken and you will do as I say because you are so in love me that you will do anything for my affections. I know it, you know it, Mother knows it and my entire kingdom knows it!" She kisses me filling my mouth with her sweet tongue then giggles. "Trust me Sweetheart; you are like so really, really trapped!"

Without saying another word I gently kissed her lips and returned to my room to finish dressing knowing fully that she was right. I pulled the zippers up on the legs of the jeans and slid, quite literally, into them because of the slippery nylons. Stretch jeans are so light and feel really good! Before standing I fist pulled the zippers down and put my sneakers on, no socks, then tied the pink, satin, ribbon laces into a pretty bow. Next was my face and hair.

As I sat next to Jana at her (our?) vanity she turned and kissed me again. Once my gold studs were removed I cleaned my ears and put my skull and small loop in my ears. I did all my basic makeup as I have become accustomed to doing and did quite well with my hair for the first time! I showed Jana my chipped nail polish with a forced pouted lip and she giggled.

Jana grinning slyly: "Why what shall we do?" she gives me a raised left eyebrow. "Let's see, we can't send you to school with chipped nail polish, we don't have time to soak several layers off, so.... hmm...." Then she grabs a bottle of very light pink and even though I firmly object puts two coats on my nails. Then to top it off a daisy appliqué on both index nails and a new top coat and she waves her hand over mine making the polish dry instantly again! "Oh hell let's just go all the way!" She puts my large gold loops in my ears and before I can make a proper protest, takes a bow made of several different, color, multiple, strands of satin one eighth inch wide ribbon and clips it right on my scalp! "Now Sweetheart, we need this!" I was handed a medium pink lipstick. "Put it on Sweetheart." I did after being prodded and patted on the back several times and then was taken to my room to finish dressing. Jana gently put the tank top over my head and arms then helped with the satin over blouse. "The sneakers will not do!" She pulled them off and put my pink, patent, leather, high heeled Mary Janes on me! Jana leaves while I look at myself in the mirror about to die! When she returned, in her hands was the Crazy Daisy perfume which she liberally sprayed all over me. "Now you look gorgeous my Sweetheart!"

Darren sighs: "Yes I do, but I am going to get killed before today is over!" I put the Grandmother's Amethyst around my neck and kissed it. My face tingled for several minutes afterwards.

Jana smiles: "NOT! I am going with you!" We go to her vanity where she waves her hand from left to right over it. "Samantha."

Sam happily: "Morning sis! I see our Queen is as pretty as she always is!"

Jana: "Thank you dear and you are looking well. Um…. I have a special, er, mission and need a day?"

Sam sighs: "I wish I was Queen and could get a day! Do you have any appointments today?"

Jana giggles: "Not unless that old bag shows her face again."

Sam laughs: "Queen Mother Agatha has fixed that wicked witch! Have you not heard?" Jana shakes her head no. "They found Claudia turned to stone on the steps of Perfection Castle after the two of them had a thunderous battle this morning somewhere in the Thermodon Plains. It was dark and the Royal Guard said there were multi colored flashes of light and loud crashing sounds all through the night. In the end an exhausted Queen Mother came home with her prize!" She makes her lips round and looks straight up. "I don't think we will hear from her until Agatha dies and her powers run out!"

Jana laughing loudly: "I must call her! Thank you Sam, ask what you will of your Queen!"

Sam: "May I save it for another time?"

Jana: "As you wish dear Sister!"

Jana waves her hand right to left and the mirror returns to normal and then left to right across her mirror: "Agatha." Agatha appears and looks exhausted.

Queen Mother Agatha yawning: "Good morning my Queen."

Jana concerned: "Grandmother you look so very tired. What's wrong?" As if she didn't know.

Queen Mother Agatha yawns: "Claudia is no more dearest one! I have turned her to stone and she stands at Perfection's mighty doors as a testament of my power to all who enter!"

Darren: "Way to go grandmother! Kick butt and take names!"

Queen Mother Agatha giggles: "Darren you are so precious! You look very pretty and most definitely feminine! Is today special?"

Darren frowns: "Yes, today is the day I get my ass kicked at school because Jana had to over do it!"

Jana: "I am going with you so stop this foolishness!"

Queen Mother Agatha yawns: "And now you are worried because I am so tired. Your concerns are fully justifiable so here is something new. The stone you wear so proudly will summon any one of us you need and several of us at the same time! The stone is actually refereed to as The Lilac Pendant and is worn or kept handy by all of us. Millicent is standing in for me while I rest. Now stop all this worry and take control as you did yesterday!" She laughs really hard. "We are calling it the Bruno Affair. There are several teachers at your school that are watching out for you very carefully. You my pet have nothing to fear except fear itself! Go and do well on the special English paper today and make us all very proud. All of your grandmothers are very pleased and extremely proud of both Darla and Darren. We all love you both very dearly!"

Jana very sweetly: "Queen Mother Agatha how will I ever repay you for dealing with Claudia?"

Queen Mother Agatha: "You are now Queen and although you show great maturity in wanting to do something for your Grandmother as payment none is expected. You are my Grand Baby and I have done it as a gift of love. Off with both of you now. Have a magical day!"

Jana: "I must finish dressing Sweetheart. Go straighten up your room." She put my pink dog collar on me.

I did just that by picking up my backpack and then thought about my bed being made, clothes cleaned and put up. Then simply said "be clean." and made a circle with my wand and "POOF!" It all happened in a flash! I was giggling when I entered the kitchen.

Mother without turning from the stove: "My, my. Aren't we in a good mood!"

Darren still giggling: "Good morning you're Majesty! How is the loveliest Mother in the world?! I just cleaned my room in less than five seconds!"

Mother smiles: "I am honored that you hold Dear Old Mom in such high regard!"

Darren seriously: "Mother you know I think you are the most beautiful woman ever and I even place you above my Father. You will always have and always have had the most sacred place in my heart! I love you above everyone!"

Mother over whelmed turns to face me: "My sweet Baby Boy loves me!" She hugs me really hard. "Now Sweetheart, grab a plate and get some of these eggs. Your tummy mustn't growl during your test!" Then she realizes how femininely girly I am dressed. "Jana said she was going push you along a little further but there is not a trace of a boy here this morning at all! Are you sure about this?" Jana enters as she asks this question.

Jana brazenly: "I think he looks just the way I want her to. Besides I am going to go with him today." Her voice becomes normally sweet. "Good morning Mother. Have you heard about Claudia?"

Mother nods yes: "Jean summoned me at eleven last night and we watched the battle in the darkness! I would have summoned you two only Darla has this English final today and needed rest."

Jana: "Well that is like just so really grand! I am the new Queen and I am the last to know! How am I supposed to become a proper matriarch if no one tells me what is going on? I mean I had to learn this from Samantha of all people!"

Mother quietly: "Yes dear. We will do better in the future."

Jana: "Mother I require you to be on full alert as Grandmother is resting today. Queen Mother Millicent is taking her place."

Mother: "I will set a window on my computer."

Jana: "Brat Brother we must get moving or you will be late!" I gave Mother a kiss goodbye. Jumping into Jana's car we headed for school.

Suddenly it dawned on me what Mother had just said about a computer window and I asked Jana what she meant.

Darren: "What software does Mother have that allows her to observe like that?"

Jana grins: "It certainly took long enough for that to sink in! It is not really software. She has learned to manipulate several services in her computer and can tap into almost any surveillance system she knows of! It is really way cool!"

As we parked the car and went in through the back door I could feel myself quivering from expectation of impending doom! All the girls were waiting at my locker as that had become our custom. We walked to them with me looking down at the Mary Janes on my feet making that heel sound on the floor. All of them quietly: "Hi Brat Brother!"

Tracey sweetly: "Brat Brother you look very pretty today."

Marian: "Look up dear. We are your friends."

Bruno passing by sneered and yelled: "LOOK! THE LITTLE, FAGGOT, FAIRY IS HERE!"

Darren normal but shaky: "Still want to become a pile of dung?"

Bruno chuckles: "Yea, like you could really do that!"

Judith giggles: "Brat Brother dear he is not worth the effort."

Jana put her arm over my shoulders: "Bruno, Darren is not having a good day and if I were you I would not push him very far!"

Bruno taunts: "Aw! Wha's matter, little fairy on the rag?" First bell rings and the hall begins to clear.

Johnna: "Bruno if you had a brain you'd be dangerous!"

Toni: "Hey what kind of wuss are you anyway? I mean what girl wants a guy that beats up the small and helpless?" The hall was cleared except for us.

Darla looking up and down the hall: "Wand." Bruno's eyes bugged out. "If you are not gone by time I count three you will be that pile of shit! ONE!" He ran out the door and up the stairs in a flash. "Wand. That boy is never going to learn!"

They all giggle then a quick kiss before splitting up and agreeing to meet in the cafeteria. I did not make second bell and Miss. Julia just grinned and pointed to my seat as I was getting a lot of wolf whistles and nasty cracks about being a fairy. Ha, if they only knew! I surrendered my desk to Jana again.

Mrs. Devon over the P.A.: "Good morning all! Have we studied hard for our tests today? Darla Perkins I need to speak to you right away. Good luck today on your tests."

Miss. Julia whispers in my ear as I pass her: "You are so pretty. Stay pretty inside as well just for me." I was shaking to my roots as I walked down the hall to the office.

Jana: "Stop shaking or you'll create an ten point five on the Richter scale!"

Mrs. Devon motioned to her door as I entered and we went in.

Mrs. Devon sweetly: "Love the new you. You are so pretty. Are you prepared for the trials of the day?"

Darla sighed: "Since Jana is not giving me any choices, I guess I am going to have to be. Yes ma'am, I can handle it!" I sat up proudly, stopped feeling sorry for myself and continued. "I absolutely adore what is happening to my body and becoming the Fairy Princess! I love the idea of becoming my Mother's apprentice too. That woman's magical power is wickedly awesome!"

Mrs. Devon: "OK, as long as you are confident and Jana is near. After yesterday though I think whoever messes with you is in for a wild ride!"

Marian winked and blew me a kiss as we walked around the counter and out the door. I batted my eyes at her and she cracked up.

Jana as we walked to my English room: "You have an extremely loyal friend in Marian. She and Tracey will stand with you when most of the others have run off and hid from fear."

Darla: "I noticed, trust me! That is how the Bruno Affair happened!"

We came to the room and she kissed my cheek, and then confirmed she would be waiting in the cafeteria. I could feel every eye watching me as I took my seat and the buzz got a little louder.

Jennifer all bubbly: "What a cute outfit! Gosh I need to come over and borrow some clothes!"

Melanie giggling: "Darren you look very cute. Don't pay any attention to her."

Miss. Morrow giggling winks at me: "Darren I know you have been dreaming about fairies, but really."

Darren sighs: "I am doing it for my Mother!" I have no idea why I thought that would help.

Miss. Morrow smiles wickedly: "Girls do not let him kid you. He is as sweet inside as his clothes are pretty. ENOUGH!" She went on to explain the rules that were conveniently written on the chalkboard. "You may take most of next period if you need more time so relax and make me proud."

I should explain that our test periods were two hours long instead of the normal fifty five minutes. I actually used almost three hours and was not sure how I would do. I placed my booklet on her desk and she walked me to he door.

Miss. Morrow closes the door: "Only two days left huh kiddo?" I nervously nodded yes. "I hope you understand that I said what I did to make things look realistic and know that I am true blue to the Sisterhood." I nodded yes again. "Princess Darla, you have my loyalties, my friendship and above all I am at your command Sweetheart. If your paper is as well written as your little paragraph about me you are a cinch to get an ‘A'." Then she kissed my cheek and went back into the room.

The walk to the cafeteria was a short one and Jana was the center of attention at our table. I squeezed between Jana and Judith while Terry went to get me a Pepsi and Marcie to get me an ice-cream sandwich. Candy: "All of us girls who are not graduating yet have decided we are going to spoil our new Princess to death! From now on you will no longer stand in the lunch line unless you want to. One of us will get it. If you require a something to drink one of us will get it. We want to show you how much we care about you!" Terry and Marcie return.

Darren: "Jana did they do this to you too?"

Jana grins and sighs: "Yes Sweetheart. I was treated like the Royal Queen I have become."

All together quietly: "All hail Fairy Queen Jana!"

Jana turning red: "Oh knock it off already!

Darren: "You asked for it!" Jennifer, Melanie and Penny come and join us.

Tracey looks at Jana: "Can I announce them?" Jana nods yes. Tracey stands. "I would like to welcome three new sisters to the Sisterhood of the Lilac Butterfly, Jennifer, Melanie and Penny. Friday at our little get together they will be confirmed and sworn to secrecy by our new Queen Jana as her first official act." Tracey motioned and they walked around the table getting hugged and kissed by all. Danny, Mickey and Larry were making disgusting noises and calling us lesbians.

Darren really pissed: "The guy and the girl portions of me have had all I can take! Are you all with me?"

Judith smiles: "We are true blue forever Princess! Anybody chicken?" No-one says anything.

Danny from across the lunch room: "Hey fairy boy Perkins, is that your fairy nice sister sittin' with ya?" I commanded my wand with my hand sideways so that the group sort of hid it from them.

Darren whispers: "what would be fun?"

Tracey giggles: "Barking Chihuahua's!"

Jennifer whispers: "Like wow, a so very real wand!"

Melanie whispering: "How about dressing them as cheerleaders! Our school colors even!"

Darren concentrates while Jana and Judith put their hand on my shoulders for support: "Those three guys in a cheerleader's suite with long curly tresses and pom-poms to boot. Bright red lips and makeup to match, nails long red for the entire batch." I stood quickly and snapped my wand at them and then I hear "POOF, POOF, POOF!" Then sparkles and bubbles were everywhere. "Wand."

No-one had evidently seen my wand and the tree of them were trying to figure out what happened. Then Danny starts screaming. All of the girls had turned to see the ruckus and were laughing insanely!

Danny crying and screaming as loud as he could: "PERKINS WHAT HE HELL HAVE YOU DONE TO US?! YOU FU____G FAIRY! I'M GONNA KICK YOUR ASS!" Then the three of them tried to move and heard the bells on the shoelaces of the girl's tennis shoes. "YOU WAIT ‘TILL I GET MY HANDS ON YOU!" Then he runs up to our table and stops.

Darren: "Haven't had enough huh, well maybe something in pink, satin heels? Actually I think you look very pretty! Why wherever did you find those tennies with bells and those long, pretty, red nails are to die for!"

Danny crying and turning redder: "You did this to me you faggot! Now turn me back or else!"

Darren: "Or else what? You're going to cheer me up?" All the girls were laughing hilariously and holding their sides. "I can't do that."

Mickey: "Perkins you have gone to far this time! This means war!" Then he swung at me with his doubled up fist hitting my shoulder. All of those long pretty nails dug into the palm of his hand and broke piercing his skin. He screamed in pain jumping about holding his right hand with his left. They left screaming headed for the nurse's office!

Jana laughing: "What a bunch or morons!" I sat back down.

Tracey holding her sides: "Yea, Larry, Moe and Curly Joe!"

Toni giggling: "You are going to be so much fun Princess!"

Jana: "Friday, six PM sharp. Jennifer, Melanie and Penny I need you guys to come by the house so Mother can have your dresses made, today preferably."

Penny: "You mean we get those pretty dresses for free?"

Jana: "No you have to earn them. One by keeping your Pinky promise, two by remaining loyal to the Sisterhood and three by being there Friday night."

Jennifer: "That sounds easy!"

Tracey: "It is easy. Just keep our vow sacred and stay close! We like it that way."

Melanie: "It is true then that Darren is about to become a girl and the Next Fairy Princess?"

Jana: "Yes. It was fixed that way when he was an infant and before he became the sweetest step brother ever. It is a long story and it will be told again Friday at the castle."

Judith: "Take our word for it, you will love the castle!"

Jana: "Shhh... outsiders."

Nurse Tiffany: "What happened to those three screaming, crying and quite hysterical boys?"

Johnna trying not to laugh: "It seems they are blaming us for them being dressed like that. I really don't know how they got that way."

Terry: "They are just trying to get even for losing the ball game Friday."

Nurse Tiffany: "They have long acrylic nails and everything! Pretty black satin corsets too! Mrs. Devon is trying to ascertain were they stole the cheerleaders stuff from." No-one says a word.

Jennifer trying to prove herself: "You know, they have been hanging out in that corner over there all year whispering and laughing and planning who knows what!"

Toni: "Miss. Tiffany that is so like them to blame their social problems on everyone else!"

Nurse Tiffany: "Well it is certainly the dumbest trick I have ever seen. First off how would you girls ever get them dressed unless you drugged and dragged them off some place? Secondly the way their nails are done they would have to gone someplace and had them done professionally and they would be seen during their tests first period. Though no-one noticed anything strange. Thirdly there is something else a foot here. I just cannot seem to put my finger on it."

Darren smart Alecy: "We could tell you, but then we will have to kill you!" It was more than the girls could stand and they all burst out laughing even Tiffany. "I mean holy dastardly deed Batman! And they have been calling me a fairy! I had no idea they wanted to be cheerleaders! Hey find out where they got those tennies with the bells." Poor Tiffany was laughing with tears running down her cheeks. No-one heard or saw Mrs. Devon walk up to the table.

Mrs. Devon trying to keep a straight face points to a corner: "Darren please dear." We walk to the remote corner. "Now tell me the truth. It was you wasn't it?"

Darla whispers: "Yes. None of that stuff is stolen because I used my wand. I just had to shut them up!"

Mrs. Devon smirking trying not to laugh: "I just had to know the truth. Now I know how to proceed. I am going to let them go home and explain it to their parents dressed as they are!" I gave her a wild look. "Those three deserve every moment of it!" We walked back to the table with her arm around me and all were still giggling and making jokes about it. "Come Tiffany. I know all I need to! Those dirty little scoundrels are going home just like they are!"

Leslie: "In honor of our Princess Darla and because we will not be here Thursday, I call for a special Pinky day tomorrow to wear our ribbons. We can wear them Thursday when we come to get our report cards as well."

Jana: "Your Queen grants this wish! Any opposed?" No-one speaks up. "Very well then, Pinky Day Wednesday and Thursday! Come lover. It is eleven fifteen and I want to get home."

The girls were still laughing as we headed out the door. Several mothers were there to pick up different students. Tracey came with us of course and Leslie asked for a ride. We dropped Leslie first and she said she would catch me later on messenger. Tracey called her Mother from her compact mirror and went into the Danny caper. Then asked if she was needed at home and her Mother said no. We parked in the garage and went in to find Mother at her computer talking to Mrs. Devon on her compact mirror at her desk.

Mother: "Charley dear I will make certain nothing happens tomorrow. Ah, here are the culprits now! They won't think anything of the sort. Love you too sis." She waves her hand right to left over the mirror. We all started to defend ourselves at that same time. "Shhh.... Now no-one is trouble. She just needs a quiet day. So, no nonsense tomorrow unless provoked, ok? Now then, Darla Sweetheart you may explain your actions."

Darla: "Simply put, I had enough of that Danny Washburn. That turkey has been picking on me all year calling me a fairy and a wuss! So now he can explain why he is dressed in a cheerleaders' uniform! Melanie, one of our new girls, suggested the cheerleader's uniforms and I figured long acrylic nails, pom-poms and tennies with bells on the laces!" Mother was trying very hard not laugh as I explained the whole sordid affair.

Mother: "Jana how could you let him do that to those boys?"

Jana: "Mother those three morons have been getting away with little pranks since way back in elementary school. They, Danny and Mickey, are the two idiots that set the backstage of the auditorium on fire right before Christmas last school year by smoking. They have gotten suspended twice for drinking at school dances and drained the pool one Friday night, painted graffiti on the bottom of it then filled it again for Monday morning! They are hopeless trust me! And last but not least, they are two of the maniacs that lost the softball tournament then tried to attack Darla! None of us girls feel the least bit sorry for them!"

Mother giggling: "So Darla decided today was a good day for revenge!"

Darla: "So now I am in hot water right?"

Mother finally laughs: "No Sweetheart. I told you Charley just needs a quiet day to recover."

Darla: "Mrs. Devon said she was going to send them home just as they were! I bet they will never explain their way out of this one!"

There is a knock on the front door and when Mother opened it Mrs. Washburn was standing there with Danny still dressed as a cheerleader.

Mrs. Washburn: "My name is Carol Washburn and my Danny insists that your Darren dressed him this way. Now I know how this sounds but I have to prove to him he is wrong."

Mother pleasantly: "My name is Alexis but most call me Alex. Oh please come in. Darren! Jana! Please come hither!" We entered from the kitchen. "Jana be a dear and set the table for tea."

Carol: "He was sent home with a wild tale about fairies and that Darren is a fairy and has been doing things to another boy named Bruno."

Mother: "Carol may I offer you some tea? Come sit so we can discuss this little matter."

Danny blurts out when he sees me: "That's him Mom! He's a fairy and has a wand and everything!"

Carol: "Daniel Washburn! True he is a bit feminine but a real fairy has pretty wings. This is absolutely the poorest excuse you have ever given for your naughty behavior!

Mother in her most motherly voice: "Now Danny telling stories about folks is not a good thing. Now tell the truth. You really like girls clothes don't you?"

Danny goes ballistic: "YOU CRAZY WOMAN! NO I DON'T!"

Mother unshaken: "Then how do you explain the way you are dressed?"

Danny blurts out: "Darren did something and I was instantly wearing these clothes!"

Carol totally perplexed: "He has manufactured this story and has convinced himself it really happened. All three boys insist it is true. I have no idea what they are trying to achieve with this little stunt but it is making me angry."

Danny: "But Mother..."

Carol getting mad: "Clamp it shut you little worm! This embarrassment has gotten you grounded for June and we are now working July! Want to go straight to August?"

Mother taking Carol's hand: "Come and sit dear." She led Carol into the kitchen where the table has been set for tea with Mother's pretty china.

Carol: "Jana you have set such a pretty table! Alex it must be a joy to have a daughter with such skills."

Mother smiles: "Darren is quite capable as well. He helps all the time. Darren's body is not producing testosterone any longer. The doctors have been trying to find a way to help him orally and with injections but as you can see it is not working. This last year, Darren has found he thinks more and more like a girl and is actually considering becoming a girl. His sister has taken him under wing as of late and is responsible for his rather girly appearance."

Jana proudly: "I like the idea of having a sister, and anyways we have been having much more fun!"

Mother: "Jana be a dear and take Danny out and show him the pool." She takes his hand and they and Tracey walk out through the sliding door. "Now I can speak freely. What would you do if I told you it was true?"

Carol blinks: "There is no such thing as a fairy."

Mother: "I see a demonstration is in order." She pours the last cup of tea from the pot and shows it to her. Then she points at the bottom and raises her finger to the neck and pours Carol another cup. Then she stands and shows her wings then hovers for a minute. She retracts her wings and sits back down. "I belong to a Sisterhood..." And she tells the whole story.

Carol: "So my Danny is telling the truth!"

Darren sighs: "Yes ma'am. I was just tired of him constantly on my case and calling me names. He has been bothering me like this since the Fifth Grade."

Carol gets even madder than before: "I promise to keep your secrecy but I am going to fix his applecart! Darren will it bother you if he knows the truth?"

Darren giggles: "No because what is he going to say? That I am a fairy? That could get him locked up in the funny farm!"

Mother: "Call them in dear."

Carol: "How hard is it to join you?"

Mother: "It is easy. We need a time when you are alone for several hours. I will show you Perfection and you can make your Pinky promise. Then you will be assigned to a Fairy God Mother for training."

Carol: "Danny, Darren says you have angered him by constantly teasing and name calling."

Danny: "Well he looks like a faggot!"

Carol: "He does not. He looks like someone with the kind of problem that his Mother says he has. Apologize this instant and promise to never say anything derogatory about him again."

Danny frowns and crosses his arms: "N O no! Absofu___nglutely NOT!"

Mother really mad: "Young man how would you like to eat a bar soap to wash that filth from your mouth?"

Carol smiles: "OK! It is your funeral. Darren said you would not go along peacefully. I told him that you would not want to be a girl permanently, but it appears we have no choice!"

Danny yelling: "I'm gonna squeeze the fu____g truth..." He ran at me and I zapped him frozen stiff as he was running at me right in the middle of the kitchen floor!

Carol: "How interesting! Can he hear me?"

Darren giggles: "Yes. He can see you too. Look at his eyes."

Carol giggles: "I have got to learn how to pull this off! Daniel my dear, you are now in a terrible fix! I'd really like to see you start something now! If you try anything else Darren is going to turn you into a girl for a while! So be nice and say you are sorry OR ELSE! Darren let him loose." Danny falls to the floor as the spell was lifted; however I kept my wand out just in case!

Danny in a panic stricken voice: "NO! OK! I promise I'll leave the little queer alone!"

Carol: "Not good enough! You called him a queer again. You are to say you are sorry and will never say anything derogatory again." She grows impatient waiting for a response. "Take him and turn him into a daughter who will obey me!"

Danny looking down: "Ok, ok. I am sorry and I promise not to call you any more names!"

Carol: "Now look him in the eye and say it again!"

Danny looking me in the eyes: "I am sorry and I promise not to call you any more names! Now change me back."

Carol: "I don't think so. I am going to keep this outfit around in case you go back on your word! Now go wait for me in the car." She watched the front door close by holding the kitchen door opened. She grins. "I hope we scared him to death! Darla I don't think he will have the nerve to bother you any more. He is going to spend two weeks with my sister and I will have time to explore joining. Alex I have enjoyed your company and hope we can be friends."

Mother graciously: "Carol you may call any time you like. We have an event Friday that you may want to attend. If so come at six pm and come alone." Mother walked her to the door and kissed her goodbye.

Darla: "I really stepped in it huh?"

Jana sweetly: "I do not think so Sweetheart."

Mother returning: "Well that was a bit interesting. I think I have made a new friend and recruited her as well! Read my lips. No more unless you are in danger! Got it? This little fiasco has taken up two and half hours. It is two thirty! The list is on the door so between the two of you everything should get finished."

Darla: "I am sorry I made you mad Mother."

Mother giggles: "I am not mad Sweetheart. Let's see, where was I? Oh yes I was about to call Joanie Stanton about Friday."

Mother went to her office as we pondered the chore list. Cut grass, check pool, vacuum and dust all over, clean bathrooms, straighten bedrooms and the laundry. I went upstairs and put on some magenta lipstick, pink blush and a little blue eye shadow. Back in the kitchen I told Jana I would cut the grass and service the pool then come help her. She agreed. Being a lazy person by nature I stepped onto the front porch and that nosey old bat across the street was watching. I turned and faced our house then thought about everyone in her house being frozen for ten minutes with total memory loss, called my wand and turned zapping her house in one motion. "POOF!" Next I pictured the house with the lawn neatly manicured and flower gardens weeded as I walked to the mailbox. Then looking up and down the street I zapped the lawn and put my wand up. "POOF!" While taking the mail to Mother I inspected my handy work and tried to catch my breath! Knocking I entered Mother's office when she waved me in. She was talking to a client on the phone but waved me over and pulled me to her putting her arm around my waist. The most pleasant feeling passed from her to me and I instantly stopped huffing and puffing!

Mother to client: "Monday will be great! Let's do lunch and tea here at my home where we can be comfy. Sure thing girl. It's a date then. Ta, ta for now." She smiles as though proud of herself. "Well dear ole' Mom has just cinched a deal with Graves and Thompson Construction to develop our sub division if we give them ten parcels of their choosing! Gayle Graves is coming for lunch Monday and Mother needs a special hostess but who shall it be?" Then she pulls out that all knowing motherly smile and bats her eyes at me. "You don't suppose a Queen could depend on her Princess?" I must have looked totally shocked. "Please Sweetheart, just for Mother?" When the Mother you love so dearly asks like that what are you going say? Two months ago I might have told her to kiss off but our relationship had returned to the sweet loving and caring one I truly longed for.

Darla stepped back and curtsied: "Mother by then I will be your real daughter and of course I will do it! What else would I answer to such a loving, pleading and heart felt request?"

Mother kissing my cheek: "Thank you Sweetheart! I am truly a blessed woman. Put a note on the ‘fridge' so you will remember to clean the kitchen, living and dining rooms that morning. I want to use the pink, lace tablecloth, you know the one with magenta, satin rose border! Food! I almost forgot! You and I are going grocery shopping today and since she is home I am going to convince my Baby Girl to come as well."

I went out back and pictured the grass perfectly manicured and the flower gardens weeded and POOF! Then I cleaned the pool and filled the skimmers with chlorine in just a POOF! Mother's loving hand gently touched my shoulder and I instantly stopped breathing hard.

Mother smiling down at me: "Feel better Sweetheart?"

Darla: "What did you just do? That is twice you have done that!"

Mother grinning like a Cheshire cat: "Something you are a bit young to understand." I gave her a single raised eyebrow. "Oh alright! I passed a little of my unused energy on to you. All warriors are required to practice this skill and become proficient at it. It could save a fairy's very existence on the battlefield. As my apprentice you are to be trained as a warrior and will learn this skill as well."

Darla: "Jana is Aunty's trainee and will replace her as Queen and I am your trainee and the new Princess, does that conclude that I am to eventually be the Warrior Queen?"

Jana came up behind us with Tracey: "That is not fair! You guessed!"

Mother with her tongue in cheek: "You think you are so smart don't you? Well maybe you are."

Jana gasps: "Mother you told! He will be on such an ego trip now that none of us will have any peace!"

Darla calmly: "Lover don't worry, I am not going to do anything to upset the applecart or hold my pink sword over your head! We are supposed to be in love and should rule our little kingdom together in unison."

Mother ending the discussion: "Come along girls. I have a long, long list that will probably take two carts and all afternoon!" Jana giggled and we hugged and kissed a long tongue tangled minute. "Enough already!"

We collected our handbags and reapplied lipstick then headed for the garage and Dad's truck. Jana and I had to playfully battle to ride shotgun driving Mother to a fit. I ended up in the back seat as always with Tracey and Jana sticking her tongue out at me. I am glad Father bought a club cab this time! We use his truck to for shopping trips except for clothes because mothers Caddy Crossover just doesn't "Get ‘er done." it does not have enough cargo space.

Darla: "Now who is on an ego trip?"

Mother: "Stop this foolishness right now both of you!"

Jana trying to hold in a laugh: "Well Darla started it! He always starts it!"

Tracey: "So who is the baby in this family?"

Darla: "Have you even looked at me today? If I look like a him I will kiss your sweet butt, on the Courthouse Lawn!"

Mother blurts out a laugh: "Darla has you there Jana dear." Tracey is laughing hilariously.

Jana taunts looking over the seat: "Don't matter ‘cause I know the truth!" Then she gives me a loud raspberry and turns around like a spoiled little girl then laughs.

Tracey holding her sides: "This sounds like when we were in the Sixth Grade!"

Darla laughing: "Ok, truce!" I took a tissue from my purse and waved it in the air while all giggled. "Mother I was thinking of wearing that pink wrap around dress for this lunch date Monday. You know the one that Aunty gave me because it makes me look like a fairy wearing a huge orchid. I felt so girly when I wore it home that it could only boost my confidence."

Jana taunts again: "That dress screams girl! I do not understand why a boy would even get near such a dress let alone wear it! I do like it on you though."

Mother: "Don't discourage! He will be a she by then anyway. Also when he wore it home I had no clue who he was and I am Mother! Sweetheart, don't listen to mean ole Jana, if you want to wear it for our little luncheon then go for it girl! Disk seven is tomorrow night and is all about poise, gracefulness and has a few little girly quirks we want to instill in you. We are going to use it three times as it will develop your makeup skills and will put a finishing touch on female coordination."

Jana giggles: "Ok, pay back time! Mother he put a hickey on my butt this morning!"

Tracey astounded: "Are you serious?"

Jana giggles: "A huge purple one on my left cheek!"

Darla astounded: "Was it absolutely necessary to tell about that?"

Mother: "Oh hush both of you. Jana you are only telling because you are proud that he loves you so much he would do something so intimate and Darla you're just trying to hide how proud you are that you did it!"

Thank goodness Mother turned into the parking lot of the super market and Jana stopped this little return jaunt to childhood. We straightened up checking ourselves then went in the store and grabbed a buggy.

I was instructed to watch and ask questions. Mother explained why she always chose certain brands and not the sale products. "There are some things that just taste or work better than the less expensive generic brands. Coffee, peanut butter, soup, canned fruit and Jell-O are some of those things. Then there was meat selection, fresh fruits and veggies. Why she preferred frozen veggies over their canned counterparts. Cleaning supplies were another place not to skimp because even though we used our wands, our magic used what was available and if what ever that was took more elbow grease then our energy level would be used accordingly. Mother spent three hours teaching me the technical details of grocery shopping. She could tell it was boring me to death but kept saying that after Friday and in time I would see things much differently. Jana and Tracey made individual trips for items to help speed up the process.

However she was right about two buggies and they were running over! You do not want to know how much it cost! We would not have gotten half of this in the Cady Crossover. At home Mother used her wand to pile everything in the kitchen, but we put it all up manually because there was just too much thinking that went into where each item had to go. Actually she bought enough to last a couple of weeks and maybe a bit longer. Tracey's Mother called and Jana ran her home and was back in a few minutes (Tracey only lives about six blocks away.)

Jana: "Darla we have to finish cleaning our rooms. Why don't you check Mother's and I will do upstairs."

Darla sweetly: "Sure Lover!"

Mother's room was a nightmare even for a fairy! I did not seem to have enough magical strength to simply pull off a one shot spell. It took three to make it happen, one to put up her dirty clothes "POOF!", one to put up her clean clothes "POOF!" and one for the rest "POOF!" I was huffing and puffing as I entered her bathroom and rested for a minute then "POOF!" it was sparkly clean! I retuned to the kitchen and Mother was actually making meatloaf!

Darla: "Mother what can I do to help?"

Mother sweetly: "I think I have everything under control so run along and study your math for tomorrow's test. Freshen your lipstick Sweetheart!"

Darla: "Well alrightie then!" With that I headed upstairs and looked in on Jana on my way.

Jana: "Did you finish Mother's room?"

Darla clears her throat: "You knew her room was a real mess and could not be done easily!"

Jana giggles: "I have never been able to do her room in one command. It always requires at least three and most times four! It zaps me for several minutes."

Darla: "I thought it was just me because all I have is a blue wand."

Jana: "My wand is somewhere between pink and red and I still get winded trying to straighten up after her! Mother's powers are so strong that she zaps once and it is all over but the crying."

Darla: "So just how does one gain magical strength?"

Jana: "One way is by using it. Another is through your accomplishments. Every time you destroy one of Raven's army or an evil spirit you gain that entity's magical powers. Also at this little ceremony each of our grandmothers will share a portion of their powers with you because you are not just becoming another fairy but the new Princess. They know that failure is not acceptable and will want to make certain your success. Mother's training will also teach you how to use your powers to their maximum advantage because a warrior's survival depends on it."

Darla: "This is all so incredibly cool and totally awesome!

Jana gives a proud smile: "You sound like I did when I was first accepted. Mother was like so totally wrong not to include you because all of this trial period could have been over with already! Mother is such a procrastinator and always waits until the very last minute before making a decision." Mother clears her throat scaring us both to death. Gawd she can be so sneaky!

Mother with a tear rolling down her left cheek: "I just was not ready to relinquish my sweet Baby Boy until I had to. I am going to miss his quick wit and silliness."

Darren's voice: "Mother my brain won't change too will it?"

Mother dabbing her eyes: "No-one seems to be able to answer that question. I wouldn't mind a tomboy like Tracey. She is still very much a girly girl and just likes doing boy things. Queen Mother Josephine was almost fifteen when his trial year started the major difference is he was the son of an actual born Fairy God Mother. You are unique because I am your Stepmother and your birthright comes from an Aunt although that aunt is Queen. The Counsel just has not had enough experience with these things to be able to predict how things will develop. Please let me cuddle with you one last time tonight Baby Boy."

Darren's voice: "Anything for Mother!"

Jana sniffs: "Um, did you leave something cooking Mother? I smell smoke!" We rushed down stairs and the potatoes had boiled dry and the meatloaf was definitely over done. Mother was very upset with herself to say the least as meatloaf is one of my favorite meals.

Mother angrily: "Oh great spirit this be not fair, remove all this terrible smoke from the air. Only forty five minutes was it meant to bake, please fix this terribly stupid mistake." This "POOF!" was very loud and there was a blinding flash of pink light. As my eyes readjusted I could see sparkles as they tinkled to the floor everywhere and bubbles landed popping on everything! "Well now this is so much better!" The kitchen was once again filled with the appetizing smell of this special dinner. Mother gave us this sheepish grin and Jana set the table with a "POOF!" from her wand. "You two may go wash and Darla refresh that lipstick!"

Jana giggling as we walk upstairs: "You are going to have to try to remember to check yourself in a mirror more often. Have you ever seen her with faded lipstick? She got after me so much during seventh grade I check myself every time I pass a mirror even now."

I picked my purse up as I walked through my room to our bathroom. We washed side by side at our individual sinks and we refreshed our lipstick giggling like two little girls. We walked arm in arm down to the super table still giggling about Mother letting the meatloaf burn and how mad she was at herself. Supper tasted really great and Mother finally got over it all when I told her how much I loved dinner. As we were finishing "Queen Alexis" could be heard, which sounded like Aunty, coming from her amethyst ring that had started to glow. "Teleport." There was a loud "POOF!" and all that was left was some sparkles.

Darla concerned: "What do you think is wrong?

Jana puzzled: "I do not have a clue. In fact this is not normal and has me wondering just what is going on." She took out her compact and tried to call Agatha but no answer. She tried Millicent and no answer. Finally she got Josephine to answer.

Queen Mother Josephine: "Queen Jana! You honor me with your presence!"

Jana: "Joey dear what is going on? Mother was summoned and left in a heartbeat!"

Queen Mother Joey: "Let's see…" She looks into a hand mirror. "Carol Washburn I assume is a new recruit and it appears her old man is in a drug induced rage. Poor Danny is has been beaten severely and is hiding under the table and Carol has been beaten as well. However they have the beast frozen stiff and are trying to decide what to do with this jerk."

Darla: "Hi Grandmother, we were just worried because of that dream where we were in a scuffle with Raven."

Queen Mother Joey: "Hi Sweetheart. Your friend Danny maybe seriously injured and Carol has bruises all over."

Darla: "I wish I was there to help but I can't leave Jana alone."

"POOF!" and suddenly Joey was with us.

Queen Mother Joey smiles: "So would you like to go comfort your friend?" I nodded yes and "POOF!" there I was!

Mother very concerned: "And where is Jana?"

Darla calmly: "Chill out Mother, Queen Mother Joey is with her right where you left us." I started to coax Danny out from under the table and he was holding his right arm.

Danny as he slides out from under the table: "I think he broke it ‘cause I felt a crack and now it hurts really bad to move it." He gave me a very hard strange look. "Why would you come?"

Darla softly: "I just thought you needed a friend." Mother, Aunty, Millicent and Carol were trying to develop a plan and had not had time to see into Danny's needs yet.

Darla: "Mother his arm is broken!" I got right up in his father's face. "You know with a terrorist like you at home who needs Al Qaeda? What the hell did he do to deserve a broken arm? Mother let's fix him up like old Perschino!"

Mother had to explain it to Carol who had to think about it for several minutes.

Carol: "I would love to except buy I would then have no income. What would I do to survive?"

Mother grins: "I need a personal bookkeeper and secretary in my office. It pays eight dollars and hour and five percent of the profits. I will send you to school and help you get a real-estate license."

Carol looking the jerk in the eye: "Daniel Washburn Sr. you have hit me and our wonderful child for the last time! There aren't any words that describe just what kind of a lowlife, asshole you have become. I can't have anything nice or pretty because you break everything and now you have broken your son's arm and possibly my ribs." She never said good bye either. "Do what you will with this terrible scum!"

Aunty first put him to sleep then defrosted him. She did the same thing she did to Mother's ex, except she cuffed him to a street lamp in front of a police precinct in downtown Baghdad! I wonder what those Muslims did to him! Mother used her wand and Danny's arm was instantly healed along with all his bruises. Carol too was done the same way.

Danny: "Thanks Darren?"

Darla: "It is Darla when I am dressed like a girl."

Danny: "I will never ever make fun of you again. We never meant any harm, we was just havin' what we thought was fun. Can we be friends again?"

Darla: "Well I don't know, can you be friends with a fairy?" I gave him this girly smile and he started to chuckle.

Danny: "Yea," long pause, "especially such a cute one!" Aunty returns.

Carol: "Alex I hope I can live up to your expectations. Friday at six PM right?" Mother nods yes. "When do you want me to start work?"

Mother graciously: "You need time to recover mentally. When you are ready call me and in the meantime if you need money all you have to do is call. If you need a shoulder to cry on either call or come by the tea pot is always handy." They hug and Mother allows her to cry on her shoulder.

Danny patting his Mother's shoulder at the same time: "Who needs that maggot? He is about as much fun as an angry wasp nest and as easy to talk to as a king cobra!"

Aunty: "I left him cuffed to a lamppost in downtown Baghdad. He will really have fun with those guys!"

Danny angrily: "Maybe they'll cut his fu___ng thing off!"

Carol: "Danny show some respect anyway."

Danny: "No! He does not deserve any respect because he respects no- one!"

Aunty: "Danny my boy you must be sworn to secrecy!" Aunty made him Pinky promise to keep our secret or else.

Danny: "Or else what?"

Mother giggles: "We haven't turned anyone into a frog lately, or we could always use a good cheerleader!"

Danny gasps: "NO WAY JOSE!"

Carol giggling through tears: "Then you had better keep the secret huh?"

Darla: "Wand." Danny backed up and his eyes got huge! "Put your hands out. No I am not going to hurt you! Dear wand this task is not very tough, from poor Danny's hands remove the girly stuff!"

Danny boyishly: "How cool! Mrs. Perkins, thank you for fixing my arm and helping my Mom."

Mother sweetly: "Why, thank you Danny. It was my pleasure to help!"

With that Mother's ring started to glow and "POOF!" I was right back in the kitchen with Grandmother Joey and Jana. Mother followed before I could say hello.

Mother: "Joey, how sweet of you to sit with our new Queen while we were on our little mission."

Darla: "Thank you for transporting me Queen Mother."

Queen Mother Joey: "Darren Darla my sweet child, I am Joey. I would prefer to skip the formal nonsense unless we are in a formal court. We all know that I am your great, great, great, great Grandmother and Queen Mother so why state the obvious all of the time?" I hugged her and felt a tingle as she passed a small amount of herself to me. I looked at her surprised. "Just a little gift from me to you."

Darla a little dizzy: "Warn me next time!" The three of them cracked up.

Queen Mother Joey: "I need to dash all. See everyone Friday. Don't forget!" "POOF!" She was gone and sparkles tinkled gently to the floor.

Darla quizzically: "Does she really think I will forget?"

Mother: "Darla dear, Math! I expect an ‘A+' on this test young lady." She was telling Jana about what happened as I walked thru the swinging door toward the stairs.

I was trying to figure out how to study for General Math test. To me Math is something you either know or don't know. Project Perky had taken me into Algebra and Trigonometry with Miss. Julia teaching me the basics of those two. She knows, all to well, that I know and is always pushing me beyond the others. My thinking was that she chose me for putting problems on the board to harass me only that just is not the truth. The other night when she brought her computer to get it tuned, she was bragging about how I was the only person in the class that got the toughest problems right and called on me to put them on the board and the explain what I did and why. Then I found out she is my second cousin!

I opened my math book anyhow and glanced at every chapter to be certain I understood what was in every chapter we had covered and looked over the homework that went with them. Jana and Judith could be heard giggling in Jana's room making me wonder why she was here on a school night. After an hour and half I really did not see anything I could not handle and came to the conclusion that any further study would only serve to confuse me.

Bumping my mouse brought Tinkerbelle out of sleep mode and there were several messenger windows opened but none of my buddies were on line. The time on the taskbar read nine thirty so I went about reading and closing all these windows. Most were just some sort of foolish greeting. There were a couple that needed to be read though.

Danny typed: "PERKINS I AM GOING TO KILL YOU! FU___NG FAIRY!! SHE STILL WON'T LET ME CHANGE CLOTHES! YOU ARE DEAD MEAT!" The time stamp was four thirty so I let it go.

Mickey typed: "MY HAND IS SO SORE! I CAN'T EVEN HOLD A PENCIL TO WRITE! YOU ARE SO VERY DEAD!!! MY MOM MADE ME WEAR THAT UNIFORM ALL AFTERNOON TOO!" I noticed Mickey was still signed on and think about Mickey being the only one that can read my message.

Darla typed: "I am sorry you hurt your hand, meet me at my locker in the morning. Come alone!"

Mickey typed: "You gonna fix it?"

Darla: "That depends on you! Loose the ‘tude dude."

Mickey typed: "What if I don't wanna?"

Darla typed: "It's your hand."

Joey out of the blue typed: "I finally caught you! We won the game that Friday. WE SHUT THOSE GUYS OUT! ; )"

Darla typed: "How cool."

Joey typed: "We just barely got them uptown guys though 1-0. Jake hit a homer. This week we play them guys from the Sand Lot. Wish my cheerleader was here :)!"

Darla typed: "I have my Math final tomorrow, what a drag!"

Joey: "I have Science and English on the same day! I been robbed! I been thinkin' ‘bout are promise."

Darla typed: "And?"

Joey typed: "Promise you won't laugh!"

Darla typed: "Long distance Pinky promise!"

Joey typed: I got my nails painted pink and been wearin' lipstick to pracrice and games!" Long pause. "Don't you dare laugh but I think I like it."

Darla typed: "Really? WELL ALRITHIE THEN!!"

Joey typed: "You promised not to laugh!"

Darla typed: "Who's laughing? I'll bet you look cute with lipstick and your baseball uniform!"

Joey typed: "Mom says break time is over. I gotta get back to my books. Waitin' for ya to come back. See ya."

Darla typed: "Do good tomorrow. See ya in about a week and a half dear. Love! Joey?"

Joey typed: "Yea."

Darla: "If you don't shut those bums out this week I am going to be like so really PO'd!"

Joey typed: "Me too! LOL."

Danny typed: "Darren."

Darla typed: "Yes."

Danny typed: "You coming to help tonight was pretty ok. I feel really bad about how my Dad acted. Please don't tell anyone what happened ok?"

Darla: "What would I tell, that your old man got liquered up and kicked your ass? That is not anything to brag about or tell the world. He won't bother you any more though! :)

Danny: "I am gonna tell Mickey and Larry to layoff! See ya tomorrow. Good luck on the Math test. I know I need all I can get! Thanks for removing those nails!"

Darla: "Hope you pass the test! Later Dude!"

I noticed the time was ten thirty and knew Mother would be going to bed shortly. Deciding to get ready for bed I stripped to my foundations and donned my baby-dolls then went to remove my makeup. Judith and Jana were already in their bay-dolls. Jana was studying at her computer desk and Judith was studying on the bed as I massaged crème into my face.

Darla: "Judith, I assume you are going to keep our Queen safe tonight?"

Judith: "Yes my Princess. We have all had the dream and I assure you she will be within my grasp all night. You may rest well and you look adorable in those pink baby-dolls!"

Darla: "I can not think of anyone our age I would trust more than you." I started removing the cold crème.

Jana sighs: "I cannot believe you two. The dream clearly shows my Sweetheart coming to my rescue and me dubbing her a Knightess. How can that go wrong? In fact this dream may not take place for a long time." She started removing the several coats of nail polish.

Judith: "Jana you know very well that dreams are just a glimpse of one possible future and not necessarily how events will occur. We just want to prevent you being trapped or fairy napped at any cost until more has been revealed about this event."

Darla: "All of the counsel, Queen Jean and even your Fairy God Mother are very concerned about this dream along with the Queens Guard and who knows who else. I know it is not fair and Raven is probably just trying to scare our new Queen's panties off! We are not going to allow a red, fire breathing, dragon with an attitude from hell to come between us."

Jana loud and arrogantly gets up in my face with her wand: "Wand! You are supposed to be a stupid, timid boy becoming a fairy not someone to give advice to your Queen!"

Judith sweetly: "Gee Sis, I could have sworn that you two are lovers! He sure sounds like someone protecting his lover to me! Now sit down and take a chill pill before you do something stupid and rash!"

Jana calming down: "Wand." Her eyes start tear. "I am so sorry Sweetheart!"

She collapsed on my shoulders bawling like newborn. Jana' weight was very uncomfortable to hold up but I found the strength somehow then gently put my arms around her and comforted her for several minutes. Did you know that fairy tears are not salty and dry up quickly? As her tears stopped she hugged me gently.

Jana humbly: "My poor Brat Brother! Now you know why I am not ready to be queen yet. I am so emotional and have a quick temper. I almost took all my frustrations out on you but yet you stand here comforting me! A more loyal lover does not exist. Please forgive Jana."

Darren's voice: "There is nothing to forgive! You have done nothing except allowed your frustration of the last two days to show." I kiss her a very long and passionately. We broke away staring into each other's eyes and kissed again. "I love you. Mother is expecting me and will soon come up here on a Darren hunt if I do not go to her."

Jana as I slowly back out the door: "I love you too Sweetheart." She giggles. "Sleep well with Mother."

Downstairs was dark except for the streetlights that filtered through the shear curtains as I crossed the living room to knock on Mother' door. I knocked and heard Mother tell me to enter. She was sitting at her vanity talking to Queen Mother about the Washburn family as I quietly sat on the edge of her bed.

Queen Mother: "I have created a schedule and she is being observed 24/7. I felt a disturbance a few minutes ago. Maybe you should check on Jana."

Darla: "She is fine Grandmother. I just left her with Judith. She had an emotional outburst and cried on my shoulder for a few minutes. She has gotten over it though."

Queen Mother smiles: "And how is my ever so beautiful Grandson? Did you enjoy your visit to our humble, little, hilltop home?"

Darla: "Enjoy? I loved it! Humble, little, hilltop home? Grandmother I don't think that is a good description."

Queen Mother laughs: "You were a naughty little fairy today though! Cheer leader's uniforms, really!"

Darla: "Those guys have been on my case for so long I could not resist a harmless prank to shut them up!"

Queen Mother: "It was not as harmless as you think. Mickey's hand is very seriously injured, Alex and I feel you should go to him and heal that hand up or fix things as though he never hit you." Mother and Agatha continue their discussion while I try to figure our how to fix things.

Darla in a quandary: "Excuse me but how do I do a spell without my wand?"

Mother giggles: "Ah, it wants to learn! Mother I need to get to bed anyhow. So do stay lovable and I will talk to you tomorrow!"

Queen Mother: "You two are loved very much. Night all!"

Mother: "You will not be able to perform such things until your strength doubles at least five more times."

Mother cuddled me and the sounds of the disk took me into a deep restful sleep.
