The Road Less Taken
Between Prologue and A Shocking Discovery
"Lysis," I said, "I don't think that your device is working."
She smacked the fairy finder. "Of course it is!"
"I could call Tecna. She could come take a look."
Lysis snorted at the mention of the fairy of technology. "I don't need her. I'm the fairy of science, and technology is science. So you see, I'll figure it out, and we'll go find a fairy."
"Maybe we should head back to Gardenia."
"Roxy!" my friend exclaimed. "I told you! I almost have this! I'm sure it'll work now."
"Okay, then. Which way do we go? If you can find a fairy, that likely means you can get us to a city... which means we won't be lost out here in the middle of nowhere anymore!"
Lysis flicked a switch, then began to glow, filling her fairy tracker with vibrations, the vibrations of fairy magic. Hopefully, in theory, with a little luck- that would take us to the first new Earth fairy. The tracker began to beep, and I was filled with hope.
Then, it exploded. Bits and pieces of wire caught in Lysis's hair. And the expression on her face? Priceless.
"Yeah," she said. "Um, let's just head back to Gardenia."
Author's Note: Hi! If you're reading this, you're likely following Fly or Fall. And you may be a tad confused, so here's where I clear stuff up.
As I write Fly or Fall, a lot of unseen canon begins to work in... who's best friends with who, how the characters relate, what happened to the characters you only see in one chapter, conversations they have... and I couldn't show it in the main story, because of how I'm writing it. So, I decided to start a companion story for the bits in my head that none of you know about.
They may be out of order, but they'll be there! Note that why FoF is more of a drama/friendship, this one will likely be humor. :)
