So I learned that my little plan to take a tunnel was very stupid of me. Since I had little idea what country exactly in South America I would end up in. You see besides the whole continents thing there were no countries above other tunnels. So what did I do? I kept randomly choosing a tunnel. I figured I'd eventually get to the surface. Which was completely true I made it to the surface and into a foreign city where I did not know the language.
Of course that wasn't my only flaw. No one could see me, which was flaw two. Flaw three was that there really was no point in my being here. Flaw four; I had no idea what country I actually ended up in. And of course the most important flaw was that I had no idea how to get back to the Pole from here.
I knew I wasn't in a coastal area because I could not see a giant body of water. I did see a lot of trees, but honestly what place doesn't have trees. For all I know I could have been in the rainforest. I knew I should have paid more attention to geography, but I figured that I'd never really have to use it. I wasn't very good at landmarks either. Since all I really knew about South America was that there were ruins that were step pyramids, there was a giant statue, they had mountains, and there was a something about ancient civilizations and the end of the world. That's about the limit of my knowledge.
I don't mean to sound like a jerk that doesn't know anything about other countries. I didn't know where I was. I mean I should have been freaking out, but I wasn't. I mean wherever I was they were having some big party and I so joined in. Not that it really mattered since I was not visible to the humans, but oh my goodness where their Godparents partying.
Everywhere I looked there were fairies having just as good of a time as the humans were. There was dancing, singing, flying stunts, couples, and so much more. I couldn't believe it. I almost thought fairies were sticks in the mud since none of them socialized with me. Yet, now it didn't seem to matter at all. They didn't seem to notice who I was or what color my wings were. All the wanted to do was have a good party and so did I.
"Now you're up." An all to familiar voice told me. "Shouldn't you be with your charge?" I looked up and saw none other than Fabian.
"Hi!" I said trying to be cheery.
"Why are you here?"
"I ended up in this huge underground field thing from the North Pole and then I found a tunnel and I thought it'd get me out so then I ended up here and there was a party and I just wanted to join in so I did and now I'm here with you!" I said saying some of the truth but not all of it I mean he didn't have to know all of what I did. Technically, I should have chose to gone to Asia so I could have made my way back to the North Pole, but where's the fun in that?
"So you live at the North Pole?" Fabian sounded doubtful.
"Yea! With yetis, elves, Ellie, Santa, and their son Chase."
"What?"
"What do you mean what?"
"They exist?"
"Who exists?"
"The guardians!?"
"Guardians?"
"The Guardians of Childhood."
"What's that?"
Fabian told me everything. For example we all knew about Pitch Black. I mean how could you not know about him. We also knew about the Sandman and the Tooth Fairy because of course we see Sandy (Ellie told me that's his name) and Baby teeth (Tooth, aka the Tooth Fiary's minions basically) almost every night. Apparently we did not know that Jack Frost, Santa, or the Easter Bunny existed. Of course once being a human child I had always wanted those things to be true.
"So they really exist?" Fabian asked again.
"Yeah." I replied did he not just listen to everything I said. "Santa, well Nick really, does exist. So does Bunny and Jack."
"You're Santa's son's Godmother?"
"Yep. What do you do now?" I tired to change the subject.
"I just travel."
"Oh." I said. "But you got a paper." I said remembering that day.
"It was from the Queen telling me to take as long as I needed."
"Oh." I felt bad. How could I not? I had been his last charge. It was a bit my fault that he wasn't ready to get back in the game. "Would you like to come to the Pole?"
"What?"
"Well you need a vacation and I'm doing a little experiment so would you like to come to the Pole with me? You can see the yetis and elves. They can't see you by the way. You can see how toys are made. There is this giant globe that has these gold lights on them of all the children that believe in the Guardians! It's really cool. Plus, Chase is a really cute baby." I tried to convince him. "We can go sledding, and build snowmen. Maybe even have a snowball fight."
There was a long pause. I could tell that Fabian was thinking about my offer. Who wouldn't? I mean all I did, as a kid was talk about Santa once I started hearing Christmas music. There was the fact that I talked to Fabian back in the day about it when my parents stopped listening. From what I could tell Fabian didn't know about the joy of Christmas. I wanted him to see all the Wonder at the Pole.
"Alright."
"YES!"
During our long flight Fabian told me all about his traveling. Especially since he found that it was actually very relaxing. Though it was hard for him to sometimes see other fairies with their children. I talked to him all about the Pole and the fun I've had so far. Though I omitted all the stuff about Ellie and stealing dream sand.
"WELCOME TO THE NORTH POLE!" I said when the building was in sight. I led Fabian to a door and there was plenty of activity going on inside. I headed towards a guest bedroom that I'd been staying in. I would sleep in Ellie's office or find another bedroom. There wasn't much else. "I'll let you sleep it's been a long flight." I closed the door to the bedroom.
"Where have you been?" Ellie asked as I flew into her office. I landed on the bed and lay down on it. "Well?"
I told her all about my little adventure and about Fabian coming to the Pole with me. Ellie didn't interrupt me until I was finished. "And that was my day or days I'm pretty sure I flew through a time zone change." I'd told her about not telling Fabian that she could see me. I didn't want her to freak him out or him to be freaked out if he knew that she could see me.
"When are we going to see if I can see him?"
"Tomorrow? Maybe. I have to see how he's feeling. It's been a long flight, but if you do see him throughout the day or come find me. I guess."
"Where is he now?"
"Sleeping in the guest bedroom I'd been using." I replied. "I'm just going to crash here."
Ellie looked at Lex. The fairy had dozed off not long after they'd stopped talking. Ellie couldn't help but want to go see if this 'Fabian' could see her. It was tempting just to go for that room and look now. Yet she wanted to wait. Maybe he was something she didn't want to see. Ellie wasn't sure if she'd even be able to see him and what if he wasn't in the room. How would she confirm or deny it. Lex wouldn't be there to tell her.
"Ellie!" Nick came storming into the room. He was supposed to be bringing Chase with him. She was worried that he might have just left her little boy in his workshop…again.
"Where's Chase?"
"On my back!" Nick turned around and showed her. Ellie then remembered Lex was in the room. She stayed asleep. Ellie wondered how she could be the only one that apparently couldn't sleep through a train coming straight through the Pole.
"You're carrying him like Sacagawea did her baby."
"Yes."
Ellie shook her head. What would her husband think of next? Now all she had to worry about was if he was going to forget that Chase was on his back and squish him. At least it was better than leaving Chase alone in a room with a bunch of pointy objects.
A/N: and there's Chapter 8. Now I was thinking about maybe a Fabian/Tooth pairing maybe? Just an idea not quiet sure if I am really going to do it or not. Tell me what you think of the chapter. Tell me what you think of the Fabian/Tooth pairing. Tell me how much you love me or you dog or something I don't care.
