Being a human-fairy hybrid thingy was horrible. I was bullied. I used to stop bullying now here I am getting picked on by almost everyone because I'm human. I mean seriously? None of the stuff of standing up for yourself, and make friends works, Fabian doesn't help me at all he thinks I should 'toughen up'. Though my flying training was mostly done. I could finally make sharp turns and I could stop on a dime. I wasn't very good in wind and I really didn't do well when I was carrying something heavy.

Then of course there were the academic parts of the Academy. I was much better at that. Fairies apparently were not good at keeping still. I was. So I was easily able to keep up. I mean I was human anyway. I knew how to properly interact with humans. I really had no clue why I was even in this class. I was also learning how to encourage children and learned that I had a tiny bit of magic. The magic was to be used in an emergency that threatened all the children of the world. Like that was even going to happen.

"Let's go girl!" Fabian shouted at me. Did I mention I still took flying lessons? It was more like torture that I went through once a day, sometimes twice if Fabian was feeling extra cruel. "LET'S GO! FASTER!" I had to follow him, the real point was to catch him, but there was no way I'd be able to. His wings were almost twice as big as mine and he moved faster. I could barely keep him in my sights half the time. "MY GRANDMA CAN DO BETTER FLYING THAN THAT!"

"GOOD FOR HER!" I shouted back. Sometimes I wished he'd flying into a billboard or something, maybe a clothes line that he didn't see. Yeah, that'd be funny. It took a lot of laps around the fairy village until I was finally able to be done. I hit the shower. Cleaning my wings took forever. I had to be careful because they hurt if I did it wrong. They were durable so I didn't have to worry about possibly ripping them. Fabian, during a nice moment, said that they wouldn't hurt forever they just would for a while because the wings are new. I cleared the steam off the mirror. "What happened to you, Lex? What have I gotten into?" I spoke to myself.

I looked at my reflection. I was so human compared to all the fairies. I didn't have bright-multicolored hair. My hair was a dull straight brown going just past my shoulder blades, which I hated with my wings it seemed to get in the way, and my eyes they were gray. There was nothing special about me. My ears were normal and not pointed, but I was human not fairy, but the fairies made me hate myself. Most fairies had longer hair than I did and it was perfectly curled or wavy making them look just amazing. I know I was more known as plain even in the human world, but now I felt really different.

They didn't wear modern human clothes either. They wore these outfits that looked like they'd just finished a play from Shakespeare. I stuck out like a sore thumb. I had the clothing I died in, which I have to say sucked. I wouldn't have worn a finger painted covered white hoodie, and grass stained blue jeans if I knew I was going to be stuck in them forever. Though I had my T-shirt that'd I'd worn under my hoodie, but that had hole in it. Which was the reason I was wearing the hoodie in the first place.

"Alexis Vice, you are a good person. We'll get through this with these Shakespearian freaks we will concur!" I gave myself a pep talk. That's about all I could do. I needed a change.


"WHAT DID YOU DO!?" Fabian yelled at me the next morning. My hair was short well shorter. I made it chin length pixie like cut. I actually liked it. I mean it looked good on me. I always had thought longer hair looked better, but now I couldn't care less.

"I cut my hair." I replied. I smiled at him. "Don't you like it?" I got off my bed and stood next to his hovering figure. I swear no fairy walks anywhere. Their legs must be weak.

"LET'S GO." Fabian growled at me and didn't say anything more. I was sure he wasn't happy. I think hair had something to do with fairy pride or maybe it showed their longevity of life. I had no idea really maybe I should have asked, but who cares really they hated me anyway. "Hurry up!"

"Where are we going!?" I shouted up at him. Fabian never slowed down for me.

"To see the Queen."

I had a feeling that I was in trouble.


We landed at the entrance to a very elaborate and extravagant building. It looked like it was from a fairytale. I thought it was awesome. "Wait here!" Fabian growled at me. I stood there and waited.

"I saw him last night!" A female fairy with bubblegum pink hair with blue highlights said as she walked by me with a group of fairies. "He is so creative! He made Luke have a dream about puppies!" She had a dreamy sigh.

"He gave Ashley a dream with unicorns." A green haired fairy said.

"The Sandman is amazing!" A young boy fairy said holding onto an older fairy's hand. "I wanna be just like him!" The older fairies gave a polite laugh. Then the green haired one spotted me.

"What did she do?!" She shrieked. "Look at her hair!"

"Stupid human."

"And she's a gold-wing too!" Another said.

I wasn't quite sure what a gold-wing was, but I noticed I was only one of a few. Fabian had gold wings. They weren't as bright gold as mine were, but they were gold. Most fairies I noticed had multi-colored wings like their hair. The colors would change depending on how the light shined on them. I'm assuming gold-wings are rare. I know there were a few silver-wings, but they were mostly guards of the city.

I guess wing classification is something that is taught when fairies are young. So I have no idea what wings mean. Except from my observations that mine are rare. Silver seems to be for guards and multi-colored are for everyday fairies.

"Come on." Fabian showed back up. "Do what I do." We walked into a room that looked like a throne room. It was huge! There were drapes and I really felt like I was on some movie set. It was amazing. Fabian kneeled and I mimicked him.

"Rise." A female voice said it was a lovely voice commanding, but gentle. I stood along with Fabian in front of us sat a female fairy. She really looked like she'd just jumped out of a Victorian Era Queen's paining aside from the rainbow colored hair of course. Yes, it was really the colors of the rainbow in order. I couldn't believe it. Her eyes were a striking piercing deep blue. "Alexis, Fabian."

"Your Highness." Fabian said.

"What is the problem Fabian?" The Queen asked.

"She cut her hair!"

"Human culture is different." The answer was simple. "She does not have the same emotional attachment that we do."

"But."

"Nothing."

"She will be ridiculed."

"She already is." The Queen replied. "She is the first human we've had in a long time. One of the few gold-wing fairies ever." I was shocked one of the few ever? I thought rare maybe but few?

"But."

"Just teach her like you've been assigned."

"Your Highness…."

"Fabian. Teach the girl. You will be free of her soon enough. If you dislike her being your student than you better teach her quickly."

"Yes, your Highness."

"Good luck to you Alexis, Fabian." The Queen gave a small nod and Fabian started to walk out. I quickly followed having no clue what that meeting was all about.

"What was…" I tried to ask.

"Let's go." Fabian did growl at me this time. I was afraid of how hard he'd be on me.


A/N: Yay! Chapter two! Now you all get to know Alexis. Yeah I didn't name her in the first chapter, I hadn't picked out a name for her yet, but here she is! Tell me what you it means to be a gold-wing fairy! What's wrong with Fabian? Don't worry only about another chapter until Lex goes out into the world of being a Fairy Godmother!
