Originally I wasn't going to update this story for a while longer but someone suggested writing one in the Fairy Queen's POV and I couldn't resist!
Thank you so much for the suggestion, Bookworm in a Music Box!
Odair He Is!
The Fairy Queen gracefully glided down the halls of the castle. The moon was a crescent shape, high in the dark sky with glittering stars surrounding it on every side. Both the smaller fairies and the larger fairies flitted around the courtyard of the palace.
A few of the small, glow in the dark fairies skimmed across the surface of the pond leaving behind trails of iridescent light on the top of the water. Other fairies with long crescent wings that radiated a blue light darted around the gardens, making flowers bloom in a way that the petals gave off a moonlight glow.
The Fairy Queen smiled widely, her flat shoes making a soft sound as the sole slapped the glittering stone of the floor. She walked past Rhoswen's bedroom door. It was silent as it always was at curfew.
She carried on down the hall, gliding past Nyx's room which was abnormally quiet. Nyx was usually up way past curfew. Perhaps, she wasn't feeling well. Or, the Fairy Queen thought, she's pretending to sleep. Not wanting to get tied up in an argument that Nyx would almost certainly carry out for an hour at the very least, Her Highness made her way to her own master bedroom.
The dome ceiling was constructed of glass, revealing the night and stars. A pair of large double doors led to a huge balcony that overlooked the entire kingdom. Astrids perched overhead in their owl forms with human faces, awaiting orders. The Astrids often reverted to their other form when awaiting instructions issued by the queen.
Taking a seat at her desk, The Fairy Queen logged into her computer. The screen opened up to her facebook page. She wasn't the least bit surprised when she saw that Bracken and Nyx were still online.
Once upon a time there was a man named Pueblo. The interesting post popped up on Seth's feed. The Fairy Queen sighed. What was that boy up to now?
what are you doing? Newel asked. That was something that genuinely surprised the Queen. Newel, with his extensive knowledge and acquaintance ship with the young Shadow Charmer, and yet the satyr didn't know what Seth was talking about.
Oh! I love this game! Kendra answered a moment later. Well, if Kendra found pleasure in whatever antic this was, The Fairy Queen assumed that it wasn't completely pointless.
is this one of those story things? Tanu asked with a confused icon. The queen nodded slowly, trying to conjure what the absurd meaning of it was.
yeah. Ya know when a new person adds a new sentence every time, resulting in an outrageously funny story :p Seth explained quickly. Okay, that was interesting. Though she wouldn't admit to anyone else, the queen was intrigued in this "story" game.
A minute later Kendra's new post appeared on the thread. They usually don't make sense though. ;)
well duh! That's why they're so funny! Warren joked, his comment appearing miraculously on the laptop screen of The a Fairy Queen.
She was eager for them to start this story; she was certain that whatever was going to happen within the next half hour or so, it was going to be pretty darn funny.
the randomness adds to the enjoyment factor :D Tanu added, a thumbs up icon blinking rapidly enough to cause an instant migraine.

sounds like fun! Bracken's post popped up. With that one comment, the queen's suspicions from earlier were proven correct. She supposed that Nyx would add her own two sense any time now. Kids.
who's all playing ? ? ? Warren wondered rather eagerly. The three question marks must have amounted to something.
Count me in, knapsack Newel answered rather quickly. That wasn't nice! Especially taking into consideration that Warren had been trapped in a knapsack for a few months. Satyrs could be so inconsiderate.
I suggested it so of course I don't wanna play. Seth's post miraculously appeared on the screen. Half a minute later, a second part of the reply came up. That was a joke. I really do wanna play.

The Fairy Queen chuckled to herself, a palm raised to her lips politely. Even though she was alone in the privacy of her own sleeping chambers, it was habit that had become hard to break.
yessss! Kendra joined the game herself.
I'll play Bracken responded as well. Her Majesty shook her head. Bracken really should be getting some sleep!
I'm down, gangstas Nyx's comment came up. What? What kind of English were kids speaking now these days? It seemed like for as old as Nyx technically was, she'd know proper grammar by now!
(Seth Sorenson and Newel da Satyr like this)
That's my guuurl Seth replied in response. Seth needed some refreshing in how to spell because girl is not spelled g-u-u-u-r-l. Schools needed to fix their curriculums if this is where the future generations are going.
we should totally, like, just get on with it A comment came up from Warren. That was definitely something he wouldn't say on his own. Maybe...he's had too much Kool-Aid?
(Kendra Sorenson, Princess Nyx, and Seth Sorenson like this)
Well, how about that. Nyx changed her screen name. At least it was fitting.
are you okay, Warren? Tanu asked.
That was really weird of you to say XD Kendra's post popped up on the thread.
Tanu's? Bracken wondered. The Fairy Queen facepalmed. For as smart as Bracken was, that comment hadn't been very observant.
no, dumb-dumb. Kendra was talking about Warren's post Nyx answered her brother. Unkind names were not to be tolerated in this realm, certainly not by unicorn royalty! Her Highness would have to enforce punishments later.
That was NOT me! A New post came up from Warren. What could he mean by, it wasn't him?
What are you talking about? It came up from your FB account! Seth remarked with a shocked expression-icon.
Warren, have you gotten into, ahem, stuff that we should know about? "Stuff" that causes hallucinations? Hmm? Newel asked. Okay, he deserved to get struck down for that one, but although it was cruel, the queen could still tell the unruly satyr was just kidding.
(Kendra Sorenson and Bracken like this)
"stuff" ? Seth wondered curiously.
ya know, "stuff" ;) Bracken teased.
hahahahahahahabahahana! Kendra's post came up. She was obviously having quite the laughing fit, although the situation didn't seem like a laughing matter.
relax. I'm not on "stuff" I went to the bathroom and while I was gone, Vanessa got a hold of my laptop and typed that out. Warren explained in a second. The Fairy Queen tittered slightly, laughing into her raised palm again.
that's a relief Tanu joked, fingers flying over the keyboard.
lol we were just kidding Warren. Kendra reassured her older cousin.
yeah. We know that you wouldn't do "stuff" Bracken agreed. That boy said alot of things that she didn't know about. Looks like Her Majesty might need to start monitoring Bracken's computerq history.
speak for your self Newel typed back. Just like a satyr to make such a stubborn remark as that.
considering I am ever so lost, we should play the story game now Nyx suggested wistfully.
Good, The Fairy Queen approved. Changing the subject from Warren being on "stuff" was a very good idea. And at least she didn't know what "stuff" meant in that conversation.
same. Okay I'll start. Seth agreed.
After a few minutes of no activity, a new post from Seth popped up. There once was a man named Tubby who worked as the local lumber jack.
(Bracken, Princess Nyx, Kendra Sorenson, Warren Burgess, and Tanugatoa like this)
He often got weird looks from tourists, what with his bushy blue beard, elvish ears, and a Santa cap covering his wispy purple curls. Warren contributed to the story. Okay, after that sentence maybe Warren actually is on "stuff."
but the locals who lived in the community knew Tubby better than anyone else knowing that he was special. Kendra added. Aww. Now that was sweet. Very sweet Kendra.
that's why they made him their mayor Nyx added barely a minute later. Haha! She could imagine several people laughing at their computer monitors as they read that.
He promised the people free wood for all who vote for him! Tanu went along with it. That makes sense. Tubby is a lumber jack after all.
Within three days, the entire town was buzzing with the news of Tubby running for Mayor. Bracken joined the story with his own line.
On the day before the election, a boy named Thomas Edison asked Tubby a very unnecessary question. Newel's comment was very well enjoyed, because several people "liked" it immediately.
(Tanugatoa, Warren Burgess, Kendra Sorenson and three others like this)
"Why do you smell like corn beef all the time?" Thomas Edison asked, intrigued. Kendra posted before anyone else could.
it was my turn! -_- Seth complained in frustration. The Fairy Queen chuckled softly to herself. Seth just needed to let things go sometimes.
it's not that big a deal, Seth. Go ahead. Warren encouraged helpfully. How nice! Warren did always seem like an older brother figure to Seth.
no Seth answered curtly.
fine. I'm going then: Tubby ran his hand through his long, scruffy blue beard. Tanu responded, along with his own sentence.
"That's a tough question to answer, laddy," Tubby answered, blue hairs sticking to his fingers. Nyx's addition to the story showed up a moment later.
"Whys it so hard to answer?" Thomas replied, his bright pink eyebrows scrunched up in confusion. Bracken added next. That was a nice, random sentence that still made sense with the story. Her Highness was mildly impressed by the story, although it lacked a plot.
"Just cuz," Tubby shot back, a $5 foot long sandwich from Subway magically appearing in one hand. Newel wrote the next part of the story swiftly.
Thomas Edison frowned. "I'm only 13 and I'm freaking genius!" Warren typed out.
Tubby looked around the huge sandwich in his meaty hands. "Dude, you wouldn't know a good idea if it bonked you on the head and began dancing in a sombrero." Seth amended to the story. Now that was some nice detail! Why couldn't everybody be so dramatically gifted- nevermind. That'd be pretty bad.
Thomas stared at the Kool-Aid stained man in horror. "Do you know who i am?" Nyx typed next.
Tubby licked mayo out of the sandwich. "No. The real question is do you know who I am?" Bracken responded rather quickly.
"A Santa wannabe?" Thomas snapped back, "who wants to be the Mayor of a crap town in the mountains?" Kendra picked up on the story next. At least there's some setting now.
"uh, no." Tubby unzipped a zipper that ran from the top of his head to the bottom of his shoes. Tanu's next post popped up on the screen.
"WHHAAAA? FINNICK ODAIR!" Thomas exclaimed in pure shock. Newel's amazing line came up.
(Kendra Sorenson and Princess Nyx like this)
Finnick held up a perfect hand, kicking away the Tubby costume. "Please, son. No need to yell." Nyx posted a second later with a blinking heart icon.
Come on! You just killed off Tubby? He was our main guy! Seth seemed a little distressed about the loss of Tubby. Who wasn't real anyway.
it's okay. Finnick is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better ;D Kendra replied. Who was this Finnick that they spoke of? A person? The queen shuddered. She hoped it wasn't someone like Justin Beiber. Thanks to Nyx, The Fairy Queen didn't want to hear the word 'baby' ever again!
No he's not! He shouldn't even be in this story! Seth shot back.
Don't listen Newel! Best plot twist ever! Nyx defended the amazing character from the Hunger Games.
It wasn't even a plot twist! Bracken responded. He was right. It wasn't technically a plot twist.
See? The unicorn prince agrees with me! Seth typed back wickedly fast. The queen could imagine a twisted smile on the young boy's face.
the unicorn princess agrees with me! Kendra joked back.
Word. Girls rule! Nyx replied with an icon that said 'BOSS' across the bottom.
Warren? Newel? Tanu? What do you guys think? Bracken wondered, directing the question in a way that demanded a specific answer.
yeah. Guys? What do you say? Kendra repeated, once again insinuating a specific response.

haha. That's smart Seth joked sarcastically.
they would've said Finnick Nyx said defiantly with a grinning icon.
no way! Seth remarked back.
Yah, they would -_- Kendra fired back. This was getting heated. Why were they getting so worked up over a Finnick?
Kendra, he died in the book Bracken responded. Ooo. Those be fighting words to avid readers.
NO! Take it back! Nyx cried. Literally, the queen could hear middle sobs from Nyx's bedroom.
The Fairy Queen shook her head, lips pursed. She had to put an end to this now. This is the end of the story. Ahem, two royal unicorns crawled into bed while a fairykind sister and Shadow Charmer brother went to bed as well. How's that?

The Fairy Queen smiled as she closed down the tab that was opened to Facebook, opening a new tab to Google instead. She had to find out who this Finnick Odair is.
haha! This was really fun to write mainly because it was so random. I hadn't even thought about making a Finnick reference originally, it just sorta came about. :3
Sorry if I offended anyone about Warren being on "stuff." It was just a joke, he is really one of my favorite characters in any book series. And if you need the "stuff" joke to be explained then you might as well just not think about it.
Thank you again Bookworm in a Music Box for the great idea! If anyone else has ideas, I'd love to hear them. I even kinda have an idea for Gavin, so yeah.
Plz review!
