"Right then you lot!" Abyssa said to her friends as they walked away from the Cavity Club. "You can go and find them pieces of art! I'm going to go be, not here!" Then she ran off, just needing a few moments. Seeing Shadar, finding out Drippy's mother knew of her, meeting up with Oliver and all them, it was all a bit too much. She just needed a break from it all. She ran across the bridge to where the Fairy Godmother was and sat underneath the platform.

"Well now, lass! Why don't you come and see me?" She was startled to hear the loud voice. She climbed up the ladder and looked up at the massive woman.

"Yes, Fairy Godmother?" She asked. Drippy's Mum smiled down at her.

"You didn't think I'd know the Songstress when I saw her, now did you?" Abyssa gasped.

"How did you...?"

"Young lady, I'm the mother of all fairies. I may only look like a mountain that spews littlies, but I've got magic too, y'know? Abyssa looked at the ground. "My Drippy-boy was looking for you and Alicia for a long time. Whatever happened to her?"

"She's gone, Fairy Godmother. She was in the other world and she died saving Oliver." The giant woman looked upset.

"Oh, poor Allie. Such a lovely girl she was. Not unlike you, young Harmony." Abyssa began to panic.

"Please, ma'am. Don't say my name so loudly. Shadar already knows I'm alive. I really don't want him to find me. Not until Oliver is strong enough. I can't allow him to get hurt." The Fairy Godmother smiled kindly.

"I understand, dear. And I know you are going to defeat him. But beware, for you will have a hard decision." Abyssa tilted her head.

"What do you mean?" she asked.

"There is someone in your future, who you will not want to leave with a lie. Someone who trusts you and wants to be with you. I know you will make the right decision, but for whom? Yourself, who has not had much happiness in these past years to come? Or the world, who has waited just as long for Shadar's reign to end?"

"The world of course!" Abyssa cried, standing tall in all her four foot nine height.

"If I could shake my head, I would." The Fairy Godmother said. "That will be a much harder decision when it comes." Then they heard shouting from below and the giant woman shouted. "Oh, my! The shows going to start! My, but that young boy-bach is quick! Do stay up here and watch it with me, will you?" Abyssa stared into the eyes of the giant fairy woman, and nodded.

"Yes, thank you." then they sat and watched Smiley 'n' Surly's show, laughing at it the whole time. The Fairy Godmother's loud laughter drowned out Abyssa's raucous howls of laughter. It'd been a little while. She could see Swaine, Oliver, Esther, and Drippy laughing just as hard down below. Then they ran back up to the platform, where Drippy's mother was laughing so hard, they thought she would pop out of the ground.

"'Bout time you lot showed up!" Abyssa told them, standing up and facing them.

"Ahh, there's hilarious!" the Fairy Godmother shouted. still laughing.

"She's laughing!" Drippy shouted. "Like a flipping drain! Tidy!"

"Drippy, mun- we're all set!" Said three fairies who stood by. Drippy turned to the four humans.

"Right, you lot! All aboard!" They all looked at him with confusion.

"Aboard? Aboard what?" Oliver asked him. Then the floor gave away and they fell into a huge cannon! They tried to get into a comfortable position, but it was a bit late as they were shot out of it, screaming.

"I didn't sign up for thiiis!" Swaine shouted.

"Nobody did, you idioooot!" Abyssa yelled back. Then they fell down a pink tunnel, and hit the ground bouncing. They all sat up, shaking a little, looking around at the pink room they were in. The walls were blue with a big sun and clouds on them.

"Is everyone okay?" Oliver asked as they sat up and Drippy came floating down gently. Abyssa gave him a dirty look.

"I... think so..." Esther muttered.

"I think I hurt my... my everything." Abyssa groaned.

"All here in one piece?" Drippy asked, sitting up.

"One pile, more like!" Swaine grumbled.

"All right! No need to get in a tizz! Its the only way to get in here, en't it. Ohh, this takes me back! Look around you, my friends- this here's Mummy's tummy, where it all started!" They all looked around and saw little classrooms and bounced on the floor.

"Aww, look at the little classrooms! They're so sweet! That is what they are, isn't it?" Drippy nodded.

"That's right, mun! This is where we're brought up, en't it? Can't do that without a classroom or two to teach us the ways of the fairy world, can you?"

"Wow! I can't wait to see what they like inside!"

"Esther! We have a job to do, remember!" Oliver scolded her. She blushed.

"... You're right. Sorry, Oliver. Okay, let's look for these littlies."

"Ouch! Ahh..." Swaine groaned. "Remind me why I'm doing this again?"

"Because you're friends with us, Swaine. Because you're friends with us." Abyssa told him, patting his back. He groaned as they set off for the first classroom. They went in, and there was a small littlie, alone, shoved into a corner, looking terrified as a dinkey yelled at it.

"Nasty! Nasty! Beastie! Beastie!" The littlie shouted as the four humans fought the dinkey and his mates. When they finished, they ran over to the small egg like creature with what appeared to be purple pants.

"Are you okay?" Oliver asked him. The littlie bounced up and down.

"Ta! Ta! Ta very much!" (Can I just say that I do a killer littlie? I'm serious mun! I don't mean to brag, but I sound adorable!)

"Aww, he's so sweet!" Esther said. Even Abyssa had to smile at the small fairy as it looked at them with trusting eyes.

"Oi, littlie!" Drippy said. "What happened by here anyway?" The small creature shuddered.

"Nasty! Nasty! Proper nasty!" He shouted.

"What's that?" Drippy asked him. "...No! Never! Well I'll be a monkey's uncle..." then he looked back at Oliver, Abyssa, Esther and Swaine who looked straight up confused. "There's terrible! The Faycare Center had been invaded! Horrible beasties have turned up, and they've been bullying the littlies, the rotters!"

"That's awful!" Esther cried. "We have to help them!"

"Please, mun! Please, mun! Pleasepleaseplease!" The littlie squealed.

"Course we'll help them." Drippy said. "Goes without saying, en't it? I'm just wondering how come beasties got in here in the first place..." Oliver seemed hesitant as he spoke.

"...Could he have made it all the way to the Fairyground? Shadar?" Abyssa tensed as Drippy spoke.

"It's possible, I s'pose, yeah... But if he's made it past Mam..." Swaine chuckled.

"Judging by what we saw him do in that storm, I don't think getting past your mum would be much of a challenge." Esther stomped her foot.

"It doesn't matter how they got in. What matters right now is saving the littlies!"

"Youer right, Esther!" Drippy told her. Then he looked at the littlie. "Oi, you! Stay here where it's safe, right?" As they began to leave, the littlie began to hop after them, grabbing the hem of Abyssa's skirt.

"Nah, mun! Wait, mun! Nahnahnah! Waitwaitwait!" Abyssa picked up the scared baby fairy.

"Abyssa, didn't you hear Drippy? He said that he needs to stay here!" Abyssa punched Swaine in the shoulder and pushed Drippy over with her foot.

"Look at the poor thing." She said. "We can't just leave him here-he's terrified! We have to take him with us!" Esther shouted at Drippy and Swaine. Abyssa didn't pay attention. She was focused on the littlie in her arms.

"But we're off bashing beasties, en't it?" Drippy told her. "It's not safe, mun! It's safe by here!"

"Scary! Scary! Proper scary!" The baby shrieked. "Aaaaaaaaahhh!" Abyssa bounced him up and down, shushing him as if she were his mother.

"Don't be scared!" Abyssa told him. "You'll be fine!" Swaine looked at her curiously. He didn't expect this kind of thing from her. She was a pretty tough girl, but she did have a soft spot. Then again, she was semi-nice to him, wasn't she? And she agreed to come with him to Hamelin when she had her own journey.

"I guess it's kinda dangerous to leave him here, too, huh, Mr. Drippy?" Oliver said.

"And he appears to have taken quite a shine to Abyssa." She blushed and put the littlie down, but he clung to her skirt.

"...Flipping heck, mun. All right." He looked a the littlie. "Come on then, you! We'll look after you!"

"Yes! Come along now, littlie!" Esther said.

"Tidy! Let's go! Tidy! Tidy!" the littlie said, bouncing up and down. "Gogogoch!"
