Once Upon a Time—
Purple Mafia Style
Chapter Two
"Well, that was embarrassing."
Jazz looked up at Fairy Godmother Erin, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.
"I'm sorry if I embarrassed you, Erin."
The fairy godmother looked at her, confused, while she flicked her wand about, fixing the castle room to her liking.
"Oh, you thought I was talking about you falling down in front of the queen? To tell you the truth I had forgotten all about that, as I'm sure King Tblz and Queen Zee have. They have much bigger problems to deal with," Erin said, shuddering at the thought of such an unbalanced person becoming king someday.
"You mean the prince?" Jazz asked.
"That and the business that we're here for."
"Are you going to ask the king for his help?"
Fairy Godmother Erin looked at her with a furrowed brow.
"One doesn't simply ask the king for such favors. Especially when the person asking is the cause of it. I must offer the king something in return. Something that will help him just as much as he will be helping us."
"Does the king have such a problem?"
Fairy Godmother Erin smiled at her cousin.
"Of course he does. We ran into it earlier. Well, it ran into us."
The girl returned the fairy godmother's smile.
"The prince."
"Exactly," she replied, putting her wand away. Jazz followed her as she walked out of the room and towards King Tblz's main chamber hall. She stopped in front of two large doors, a guard stationed outside them.
"Do you have business with the king?" He asked in a deep voice.
"Uhm, duh," she returned.
"What kind of business?"
"Business that isn't yours. Now get out of our way before I'm forced to summon her."
Jazz's eyes widened with terror. She wouldn't really summon her, would she?
The guard laughed.
"Summon her? I'll squash whoever this is in an instant."
Erin smiled, "We'll see about that." With a flamboyant swish of her wand, the fairy godmother summoned a young fairy. The young fairy, a fairy godmother in training, had ginger hair and was clutching a stuffed duck. She was none other than Kat, the stalker fairy.
Jazz looked at the guard. By the look on his face she could tell he recognize the famed stalker fairy. With a squeal of terror, he dropped his spear and ran down the chamber hall, Kat skipping after him yelling, "Wait for me, Cuppy Cake!"
Erin smirked, proud of her work as she flicked her wand in the general direction of the doors as they burst open. The two girls walked down the grand hall, Erin walking elegantly and Jazz working hard not to trip. They both knelt before the royal family, a large red gash visible on the princes forehead. With a flick of the fairy godmother's wand, the gash was gone. King Tblz smiled, and motioned for them to stand.
"My dear King, you are probably wondering why it is I have graced you my cousin's and my presence."
"I was wondering that," he replied.
"Well, you see," she began to explain, "You know how I, as head fairy godmother, must train all aspiring fairy godmothers?"
"Yes, I've known of this."
"It just so happens my current group is filled with quite a few rambunctious fairies. One night, after finishing their E.L.F. tests, they had a rather wild party."
"Don't tell me..."
"Yes, sir. I do believe they had apple juice," Fairy Godmother Erin winced. The Queen gasped as the prince covered his ears.
"Continue," the king demanded, his arms tightly wrapped around his wife.
"Well...I just..."
"They went out and kinda screwed up all of the happily ever afters," Jazz stated, talking for her wordless cousin. "Right now they're trying to fix everything, but it has gotten a bit out of control. If there was anything you could do to help us, we would be eternally grateful."
"In return," spoke the now recovered Erin, "I will train your son to be a fine king."
"We just want him to stop running into things," said the queen, bluntly.
The king rested his hand on the queen's shoulder, then looked at Fairy Godmother Erin.
"I wish I could help you, however I have urgent business to attend to in MegaGlompia. I will send with you my bravest knights, among them are Devin of the Feisty Sword and Chris of the Mad Rapping Skillz. My wizard, Eradicator, will go and so will our hand maiden, Lucy. My son will go along with you too, so you can hold up your end of the deal."
"Thank you my kind king," said the fairy humbly. "Although I don't believe we'll need the assistance of this hand maiden."
Fairy Godmother Erin and Jazz were surprised as the king knelt down before them.
"I beg of you, take her. I don't care if you offer her as a sacrifice to the Great Dragon, Fluffy. Just don't let her stay here."
"Alright," Jazz spoke before Fairy Godmother Erin could respond. "We'll take her."
Erin looked at her, narked. The girl shrugged.
"We'll need someone to clean up behind the horses," she explained.
The king tapped his son's shoulder. Prince Seth, who still had his ears covered from the earlier mention of apple juice, lowered his hands.
"Prince Seth," started Fairy Godmother Erin, "You will come with us to help set straight all the happily ever afters. During this time I will teach you how to act in a manner befitting a king."
Prince Seth looked at her like she was crazy.
"Crazy white fairy say what?"
