The room's lone occupant was seated in a swivel chair, purple eyes staring intently at a monitor situated atop a metal table, a control panel in front of it. The large display allowed the pointy-eared fairy to see what the fairies were doing. Currently, he was watching a group do the dishes. Through the earpiece, he heard their conversations as they worked.
"I hate this," whimpered a purple-haired female.
Another nodded. "I think all of us do. Binky's gone completely out of control."
"That little monster! I swear, when I get my hands on him, I'll rip his wings off!" a fairy wearing a black and white-checkered shirt, black shorts, and shoes shouted, slamming down a plate, cracking it.
That comment made Binky's nostrils flare. Pressing a red button, he spoke, "What was that, Florence?"
The fairy looked about, shocked. "You…you heard me?"
In a puff of smoke, Florence disappeared and materialized by his ruler, who glared daggers at him. "I heard every word. You know better than to disrespect me!"
The other got nervous, but recovered. "This is insane! You've gone completely nuts!"
"Silence! I don't care! Now, because of those comments, you will work for me. Your job will be to keep an eye on a group doing a particular job and report any errors," Binky poofed up another monitor and chair opposite his. "Get started this minute!"
Huffing, the black-haired male floated over and slumped in his seat. Binky sat back in his own chair with a sigh. The sound of combat boots clumping against tile caught his ear and he turned, fixing the former fairy commander with an angry glare. In his large arms was a tray containing a chicken breast, green beans, corn, water, napkins, and utensils. "And, where have you been? It shouldn't have taken you that long to get me my lunch."
Jorgan placed the tray in front of the small fairy, annoyed. "Well, what do you expect? I don't have my magic, so I can't just poof you up a delicious meal!"
"Don't use that tone with me!" Binky shot back. He diverted his attention to the food, picking up the knife and fork and cutting off a piece of chicken. After swallowing it, he gave his assistant a smile. "Well done, Jorgan."
"Thank you, do I get my magic?"
Binky's expression turned dark. "Did I say you could? No, I did not. You'll get it when I say you do."
"That's it!" Enraged, the former fairy commander stomped over and grabbed the smaller man into his fist, holding him up to his face. "You have no authority to do this! You will return everything back to normal at once!"
"No, release me now," the pointy-eared fairy growled dangerously, voice descending an octave.
Jorgan hammered Binky into the wall a few times, then stopped, glaring. "Well?"
The other shook his head to clear away the dizziness, once again unfazed. An evil grin came to his face. "Oh, alright, you win. I'll stop this."
"Good," the man let go of Binky.
The ruler raised his wand and, in a puff of magic, the once powerful, intimidating fairy that stood before him was reduced to a tall, lanky weakling. Horrified, Jorgan cried out, "My muscles! My beautiful muscles! You fiend! What have you done?"
Ignoring him, the fairy conjured up a mop, bucket, scrubbing brush, cleaning wipes, and other supplies and thrust them into the man's hands. "Be a good boy, and clean out the bathrooms."
Before Jorgan could do anything, he was sent flying out of the room and into the wall. "Now!"
With a huff, Binky sent a stern look Torence's way. "Get back to work!"
"y-y-yes, Sir!" the black-haired male squeaked, trembling and facing the monitor.
The bald fairy plopped in his chair and rested his head in his hands with a sigh. 'I haven't even been leader for a day, and already, people are defying me. Great, just great.'
The pink-haired woman stared down at her reflection in the table she had been cleaning with a frown. This reminded her of the time Crocker had knocked over the big wand. Thankfully, that was only temporary, since Jimmy fixed it, defeating the crazy teacher and restoring all the magic. This time was different. Fairy World's conquest wasn't caused by the anti-fairies, pixies, or Crocker. It was done by their very own, the one fairy who no one expected. Just the thought of that little menace made Wanda's fists and jaw clench. The main question was 'why?' Why did he do it? There had to be a reason, or maybe not. Perhaps he did it just to do it.
Wanda wanted things to be the way they were: to have her magic and, most importantly, to have her family back. She wanted to be with her lovable, yet goofball husband, fix his mistakes, look into those green eyes, and hold and kiss him. She wanted to watch her son grow up into a fine adult, and she wanted her godchild back. Tears streamed down the fairy's face as she continued cleaning.
Cosmo placed the plunger back in the container and flushed, giving a relieved sigh when the water drained properly. So far, so good. He was just about to exit the stall, when the sounds of water overflowing and a panicked cry were heard. He flew out in time to see another fairy, completely soaked.
"Oh no, oh no, I'm done for!" the fairy cried, shaking.
"Here, you can use my mop," Cosmo offered.
Before the other could respond, Binky appeared, disgruntled.
"Remember me!" were the fairy's final words before he was disintegrated and vacuumed up.
"You're lucky you haven't messed up by now. You're notorious for that," the fairy leader scorned, poofing away.
With a heavy sigh, the green-haired man started cleaning up the mess.
Binky reclined in the red, plush armchair up in his quarters. Before him, the large flat screen was airing a fairy gladiator fight. The two contestants were going at it, blasting each other with magic, attempting to knock the other out of the ring. Just then, the logo for Fairy World News popped up, followed by the reporter. "I'm Fairy Heart. Terror and tragedy rein over Fairy World, as one of its residents, Binky Abdul, has conquered it by sucking all magic from the big wand and into his own wand. Fairies are forced to work for it, earning tiny amounts if they are seen obeying orders and performing their jobs correctly. However, if anyone disobeys or disrespects Binky, they will be punished. Everyone wants to know why has the sweet, lovable Binky committed such a heinous crime, and will he ever end it?"
"No," the blond news anchor could only turn her head, before being shot off screen by none other than the new fairy commander himself. He glowered, arms folded tightly across his bony chest. "You really think sweet, innocent Binky is going to make it all better, hmmm? You think I'm just going to restore Fairy World back to its original glory…" He snapped his fingers. "Just like that? Well, I won't. Things will be far from better. They are going to be much, much worse."
With a wave of his wand, magic shot forward, and the screen turned to static.
