Yes, I know, I stomp on tradition. I don't care. I also know that there are no CD Players in Weyward or any other mideival world...but...this is the Kingdom of Special Sparkly Rainbow Happiness. I'm allowed to make exceptions.

Chapter 2.

Sleeping Something

By: Akiko Date

Chapter 2

And thus the two good and one partially evil fairies decided to take the baby and raise him as their own. They lived in a woodcutter's cottage in a glen deep in the woods for sixteen long quiet years. Sixteen long quiet years of Saturos and Jenna burning the house down on several occasions, leaving Alex and Felx to build an entirely new house. This is where magic they weren't supposed to be using came in handy, otherwise the surrounding area would have looked like a clear-cut, not even remotely insconpsicuous.

But it was nearing the day that Saturos would return to his kingdom to marry his betrothed and hopefully live a long, healthy life terrorizing the peasants. Oh, sure, the three fairies had tried to make Saturos see the ways of good, but with Jenna and Alex around he didn't learn very much. And you know what they say. Once those little snot-nosed punks try evil, they like it, and they're evil for all eternity. At least that's what they should say.

Back on track, the three fairies found themselves feeling a little sad at the thought of Saturos's invetable departure, to their surprise. To their great surprise, and only a little. In the meantime, they thought they should see him off with a wonderful party for his sixteenth birthday. A wonderful surprise party. Which is a lot harder than it sounds, between you and me.

"Saturos," Jenna said sweetly, smiling up at the blue-skinned prince. "Would you go hunting today?"

"I went hunting yesterday," he replied, not even looking up from the book he was reading. He was leaning back in his chair, his feet up on the table.

"GO HUNTING NOW OR REGRET THE DAY YOU WERE BORN!" Jenna yelled, pulling

the chair out from under him. Saturos fell to the floor gracelessly. He

got to his feet and glared at the offending fairy.

"Fine, yeesh, I'll go hunting."

He grabbed his bow and quiver and left, slamming the door behind him.

"Oh, that was subtle," Alex muttered. Jenna proceeded to fry him to a crisp. "Ow."

"Okay," Felix clapped his hands. "Let's get started. Jenna, you're on clean up duty, Alex, you're-"

"I want to buy the gifts, put Alex on clean up duty," Jenna glared at him, her eyes flaring.

Felix shook his head. "No, I'm buying him the gifts. Alex is going to bake the cake."

"No, you're going to bake the cake, Alex is going to clean up the room, and I'm going to buy the gifts," Jenna folded her arms.

Felix pulled a laptop out of his Mystical Space Pocket (tm). "Are you kidding me? I'm getting all of his gifts off of the internet, you wouldn't know how to use the internet if it did a strip tease on the front lawn." They both stared at him. "What? I don't know how to cook anyway."

"Well, then, it's time you learned. I'm buying the gifts," Jenna grabbed the laptop from him, simultaneously casting fume on him. Crispy Felix muttered something under his breath and wandered into the kitchen. Alex shrugged and grabbed a broom to start sweeping up.

Half an hour later Jenna walked into the kitchen, her eye twitching. Felix was putting two eggs, shells and all, into batter that was the same sickly blue as the portals Mia used. "Get the wands."

"Okay," Felix washed his hands and walked into the living room, where his laptop was lying on the floor. In several pieces. He stared at it, eyes wide. "You...you broke my laptop."

Jenna, who had been right behind him, sighed. "Get the wands, Felix."

"You broke my laptop!" Felix fell to his knees, scooping one of the slightly melted pieces into his hands. "I can't believe you broke my laptop! It was a brand new Dell Latitude! It had wireless internet-"

"Felix."

"-DVD playing and CD burning capabilities-"

"Felix," Jenna was sounding more and more impatient with each repeat of his name.

"-Pirated copies of all three Lord of the Rings movies-"

"FELIX."

"-top of the line sound and video cards-"

"FELIX!" Jenna cast fume on him again.

"Ow!" he turned to her. "WHAT?!"

"JUST GET THE FRICKIN' WANDS ALREADY!"

"FINE!"

"FINE!"

Felix got to his feet, brushing some soot off of his clothing and stalked to an inconspicuosly blue brick in the red fireplace, pried it loose and pulled out their wands. He threw Jenna's, which was sparking an angry red, and handed Alex's to him in passing. Alex shrugged and pointed his wand at the mop and broom. The two cleaning tools began moving on their own like a bad reproduction of "The Wizard's Apprentice." Felix restored his laptop and put it back in his Mystical Space Pocket (tm) before he went into the kitchen and began making the cookbook order the assorted ingredients on the counter around.

Jenna worked on the presents, making Saturos a wonderful sound system and a few CDs.

"Ha, take that, internet," she muttered, putting the finishing touches on the present.

Oh, and just a side-note, since someone made this mistake ::mutters something about people doing this all the time:: I'm not Elena. Name's Akiko, pleased ta meetcha. Elena and I share an account because it's just easier that way.

Isaac: ::in orchid "She gets a little tweaked when people mix them up"::

I'm not tweaked. Well, you know what to do now, right?
