Life is Not a Fairytale

by Twelve-Days-of-Misfortune

Valerie's friends have been turned into fairy tales. Literally. And it's all her sister Delilah's fault, because she found a pen that doubles as a magic wand. Now, Valerie has to get everyone in one place for them all to go home. Which would be easier if they remembered who they actually are...

Main Characters:

Valerie: Plays herself

Delilah: Also plays herself

-Linebreak-

"Hello?" Valerie called, sitting up on the floor. She looked around the dim room. There seemed to be no entrance or exit, no windows or doors. So how had she gotten in?
A sudden flash of green smoke appeared, and then her sister was in front of her, coughing and waving smoke away.

"That's gonna be difficult to get used to," she said, then turned and smiled brightly at Valerie. "Hey, sis. Guess who I decided to be for Halloween?"

"You didn't need to dress up," Valerie said, staring in shock at Delilah. "You're scary enough anyway. So where are we?" Delilah leaned over and gently hit Valerie's arm.
"Fairytalelandia," she replied. "And I'm a witch."

"You play the part perfectly," Valerie said, her face lacking any expression. Delilah frowned and placed her hands on her hips after using a hand to straighten her hat. "Hey, remember who's in charge here. Anyway, guess what I did?"

"Found a magic pencil and decided to write us all into this odd world and now I have to go find everyone for us to go back home?" Valerie guessed. Delilah shook her head. "Nope! It's a magic pen."

Valerie leaned back, sighing. "Great. So how do I get out of here?"
"Here. I stole these off some girl from Kansas," Delilah said, holding out a pair of sparkly red stiletto heels. Valerie took one look at them and winced. "Ouch."

"Yeah. I betcha I did her a favor. Anyway, just click your heels three times and think of where you want to go."
"Home," Valerie muttered, standing and taking the impossibly high heels from her now green sister.

"Doesn't work that way. You can only go home after you get everyone together in one spot. Oh, and this might help."
She handed Valerie a small bag.

"Got this one off a flying nanny. Apparently it's bottomless. Man, Disney is fun."
She sighed whistfully, then blinked and grinned. "Well, good luck. I have more sight-seeing to do!" she exclaimed, disappearing in more green smoke.

Valerie placed her converse in her bag, slipped on the heels, clicked her heels three times, and thought of the most famous fairytale she knew.
