The Side Effects of Being Raised by an Evil Fairy

"So, uh, what now?"

The hen clucked.

"Well, Edgar, I suppose you could stay here with me."

Edgar sighed.

"At least until your parents show up in a giant swan."

"What?"

"At least until your p...uppies mow the giant lawn."

"What? I don't have any puppies."

"Well, I guess you could stay for a while," Genesta smiled before poofing herself back into her castle.

Edgar sat on the sand and looked out at the water. "This is better than standing. I'm afraid of heights, and suddenly being 2 feet taller doesn't help," he thought. He streched out his arm and looked at his hand. "Its so far away. And so... pink! ....pink, roses are pink, roses, Rosella- AK!!"

The second Genesta poofed Rosella back to Daventry to help her cardiac impared pappy, Edgar had promised himself not to think about her. Oh, sure they had said "Perhaps we'll meet again," but Edgar knew that it was just because she had just totally turned him down, and she was so nice that she didn't want to devistate him on his first day of looking human. To ease the pain of his broken heart, he promised to just forget her.

His hand looked too pink. Edgar dropped it to his side and let it rest on the sand. The hen waddled over and started to peck at it. "Hey!" he yelled, and pulled his hand away. "I suppose I'm going to have to get over my fear of heights if I'm ever going to have to walk somewhere. I also suppose I'm going to have to get over my fear of long words if I'm ever going to have to tell someone the technical name for it." He bit his lip. "Hippopotomonstrosesquippidaliphobia.... AAHH!!!!" Edgar jumped from the sand and ran around in circles. When he finally stopped running, he noticed he was standing. "AAHH!!!!" He yelled again and sat back down on the sand. "One step at a time, Edgar," he told himself.
