After failing to tell a good story, Magenta ended up listening to his sister tell her all sorts of things. The girl had apparently decided that she liked her older sister and therefore needed to talk her half to death. Magenta learned a great deal about many things that had recently happened in Quinnstown this way. At least Rose was (probably) a more reliable source than Pearl…

Apparently old Widow Hudson was still renting out parts of her house. She'd been doing that even before Magenta had left. Schoolteacher Petra Quince and her wife (a poet named Edda) still lived next door. Now, though, they'd apparently adopted a son named Tristan. Awful old Egeus Philostrate still shouted at any 'youngsters' who walked to near his garden (or got too near his daughter Isolde). That awful café next to their Father's computer shop was still in business, despite the food being cheap.

Things hadn't changed too much.

Of course, Magenta did learn some surprising news.

A young man named Theseus Rex, who'd she'd gone to school with, now was mayor of Quinnstown. Apparently people really liked him now. Once, he'd been the butt of every joke. Now, a leader! This really surprised Mags. She then began to wonder what her other classmates had done lately.

"You sure know a lot, don't you?"

"Yes. When I'm at Daddy's shop helping him out I overhear all sorts of things. I know stuff even gossipy Cousin Pearl doesn't know sometimes!"

Though the girl seemed quite proud, really didn't think this was a good thing.


Only a few days after her arrival in town, Magenta was already being treated like an average citizen. They'd all know her years ago and didn't really see why they'd make a fuss over it.

She hadn't had a job in those days, though. Since her family was rich she didn't technically need one. But her cousin Emerald insisted on getting her cousin either a job or a date.

"You're just moping around all the time. I know that your brother died less than a year ago. I know that you were sleeping with him-"

"Did Pearl tell you that? You know she's a lia-"

"Meriadoc knew all along. It was obvious, apparently," Emerald said sullenly. "But that's not really that important. What matters is that you need to get over him. He's dead, Mags. Since you can't seem to move on by yourself I'm going to help you."

Mags glared at her cousin.

"Oh, lighten up," Emerald told her cousin.

They stood there in silence, glaring at each other. At least they were in Magenta's room. Therefore she could make her cousin leave by the laws they'd written together. She then began to wonder if anybody remembered those rules. It was a game of sorts they'd played as children, so they probably didn't.

Slowly, Mags realized that her cousin was talking to her.

"Hello… return to Transsexual, space girl…"

Mags blushed. "Sorry, Emerald. What were you saying?"

"I was saying that I know you like to read. At least, you did as a kid. Don't you dare try to deny it, since I can see all those books you've got."

Magenta rolled her eyes. "Who cares if I like reading?"

"Well…" Emerald grinned. "You can be an assistant teacher to Ms. Quince. Even she agrees."

"WHAT?!"

"I asked her yesterday. Don't look so scared, you're great with children. And it'll give you something to do while you get over his death," Emerald explained cheerfully.

Still smiling, Emerald then left the room.

This annoyed Magenta greatly. Secretly, she enjoyed mourning Riff Raff. A man is not dead until he'd forgotten, as they say. Now she'd be moving on and forgetting him.

Though at least the job would be easy. Mags was good with children. She'd cared for that mind reader named Dori and knew how to handle her little sister easily.

But working with Petra Quincy? That sounded a bit scary. Petra was a severe looking woman who'd taught literature for many years. Everyone Magenta's generation or younger had been in one of her classes (or would be taught, in some cases). There wasn't anything much scarier than. Weirdly, her wife Edda was a really polite lady who sometimes made cookies for Petra's students.

Maybe, Magenta decided, she could be the 'hero' who was nice to the students. The one who made Ms. Quincy's classes bearable. That sounded good.


A/N: The names of characters in Magenta's family are all from Lord of the Rings or names of 'things' (colors, flowers, etc), since they're weird. Most of the other people's names are more random and more normal. Also, speaking of names, 'Petra Quincy' is a reference to 'Peter Quince' from A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Please Review! Is this really that bad? I need reviews to further the plot. A lot of my other stories would've been different if it weren't for people saying they liked one character or something... anything.
