All right the moment you have been waiting for...The fairy...RHINOS! Dance rhinos Dance... YAY! To answer you people, there is the appearance of the fairy godmother...with a twist. I may change it later...and I'm sorry about the delay.
I'm also afraid I don't know when the next chapter is coming out...he he!
So yes, read and review. PLEASE!
Alanna looked up, to feel a hand on her shoulder. Instinctively she used a move to flip the person and sent them flying.
She looked into a face so similar to her own…except male.
"A hello would've worked fine." He muttered, flicking red hair out of his face, while flippantly looking at her. Bright violet eyes had an ironic quirk to it, as he smirked backing away from her. Alanna's attention then shifted to see a woman appear out of thin air, right in front of her. She gasped slightly at the aging woman who smiled kindly at her. Grey streaked her brown hair, and kind eyes extended warmth.
"You must excuse my assistant…" The woman coughed slightly, nodding to the boy who had been slammed against the wall.
"Who are you?"
"Me? I am Eleni Cooper, but for the sake of the moment I'm your…fairy god mother." She said plainly, no poof or abra cadabra, very efficient.
Alanna frowned, "Is that…?"
"That would be my assistant, he's currently training."
"…and not to mention the direct relation of us being…I don't know twins?" The boy added wryly.
"Thom?" Alanna's voice wa quiet.
Thom smiled at his twin, who in turn ran to hug him.
"I see that you've gotten stronger..." He said through gritted teeth, he then held her at arms length, "I see someone's grown!"
"That goes both ways…" Alanna gave a small smile, "So what brings you home?"
"Technically I'm still back in the cloisters in the mountain, however my mistress here found a way to project an astral image" Alanna yawned, and he glared at her, "…long story short your plight called her and wherever she goes I go…"
"You're here to help me?" Alanna was almost shocked.
Eleni looked at her hand, and recited something, "Alanna…dear, you have gone through... hard times. However, you are destined to go to this ball and I am destined to help you…" She then looked at Alanna nad smiled, "so get up now, let's see the damage." Eleni interrupted before Thom could say anything
She gave her hand to Alanna who took it, and got up.
Elenie muttered to herself slightly, as she turned Alanna around in front of her, "Thom get over here!" Eleni face changed in a seonc from patient to well...not. She snapped directions at her assistant.
"I try and I try, but they never appreciate me…" he muttered.
Eleni obviously resisted the urge to roll her eyes to the heavens and pray for her sanity, "Thom, what do we have to do?"
"Conjugate clothing, transfigure objects to make a carriage, mask her facial features…and we have only an hour to do it…" Thom sighed and muttered something under his breath, which Eleni ignored.
"You want to take your Ordeal, well here it is…hurry up now!"
Thom sighed and then fixed his sister with a look, and his face completely solemn he said, "I need a squash."
"A Squash?" Alanna smiled trying not to laugh.
"Don't doubt me, just get a squash." Thom snapped.
Alanna went into the kitchen and returned moments later.
"We have no squashes, but we do have this pumpkin…"
"Fine, bring it outside." Thom let Alanna lead them from the hall and told her to place the pumpkin on the road. She did.
Alanna watched in amazement as Thom muttered something and the Pumpkin began to grow, it slowly turned from orange to white, and sprouted velvet curtain, golden wheel and handles.
"Now…you'll need horses." Thom looked around and after finding nothing he looked at his sister. He scooped to the ground and found a few field mice. The air was tinted purple as the field mice grew, forming majestic legs and manes, tails or fur…and they were horses.
Alanna gasped slightly, "How did you…"
"I'd love to chat but there are two more things that you need…" Thom interrupted her, "Where's that cat of yours?"
"Faithful…How did you...never mind, he's upstairs."
"Can you call him?"
Faithful, however, seemed to know that he was being spoken of. He looked at Thom with calm suspicion and waited for his own transformation.
Faithful was turned into a carriage driver and Thom then in turn made Moonlight the footman/woman.
Alanna smiled at the gorgeous scene in front of her. A beautiful carriage and wonderful horses, a footman and carriage driver that was covered in white silk and gold embroidery.
"It's like a dream! Except a very girly dream…that's totally something that I've never dreamed of…because I'm not girly…" She thought blushing, and reassured herself that she would not go soft like that. She simply turned to her brother and said, "What about me?"
"So demanding…" Thom sighed, he put a hand on her forehead and let his gift swirl into her.
Alanna felt dizzy suddenly and she felt different. She looked down to see a purple ball gown, similar to the one she wore earlier.
It was a lilac colour and it had a tight bodice with embroidery covering it. Her skirt was long, and flowed behind her. Her hair flowed down in a cascade of copper curls and she smiled, a genuine smile.
"Now you're going to go to the ball and enjoy yourself. Don't do anything that I wouldn't do…" Thom was punched by his sister.
"Oh and before I forget...dear, you must be back by midnight, for that's when the spell ends! Remember that and now go…hurry! The ball will start any minute now!" Eleni shooed her and Alanna ran into her carriage. She watched out the window as her brother and his teacher waved at them.
"So what are the odds that she's going to screw up?"
"10 to 1…I'll bet a bronze coin on it!" Eleni said through her smile to Alanna.
"C'mon, she's my sister. I mean she deserves more than that."
Thom shot a look at his teacher, "I say a gold coin." He then grinned.
"Just keep smiling and waving!" Eleni said through her teeth, "A gold coin it is."
