Big Troubles a Cumin'
The greenling, Patina, and her fairy companion, Lareli, were awaiting the girls' arrival at the shop. It's nearly time for school to let out and for the shop to open for the customers, but nothing could get done unless the girls were there. So, like every school day, the two wait patiently and not-so-patiently for their arrival through the front door. Lareli could've waited for hours on end; Patina on the other hand is not one for patience.
"Gosh darn it! Where are they?!"
"Dear Lord above, Patina! May GOD gift you with patience! They'll be here soon. It's not like they can help when the school decides to release students for the day." Lareli was drinking tea over in the corner and desperately trying to calm her charge. 'Everyday she's like this'. While getting back to her daily activities, the front door opened and in walked the seven aforementioned girls. "See, there they are." Lareli triumphantly stuck her nose in the air.
"We're here." Dorie deadpanned.
"And you're late." Patina growled.
"Yeah, we got that." Mirabelle fired back.
"Must you remind us? We've had a pretty rough day." Reanne complained.
"And we really don't need your insults, so please do us a favor and give it a rest." Ellie ended the whole conversation with that. That caught Patina and Lareli off their guard. The girls on the other hand just found a place in the shop to slump over and sulk. It was obvious to the greenling and her fairy companion that something was up with their trainees. Unfortunately, Patina could care less at the moment. What she DID care about was her money flying out the widow because the girls weren't working. As long as they were lazing around, she wasn't making any.
Meanwhile in Ojamajo Corner, the girls were in sour moods all day and weren't showing any signs of lightning up. Mirabelle and Ellie were sulking upstairs, Reanne was calculating on when and where Penny and her 'darn super-zoom' camera could've taking that incriminating photo, Momoko was in the kitchen in the back thinking of ways she could've prevented the incident if she knew about it, Caitlyn and Hana were watching and desperately coming up with ways to cheer everyone up, and Dorie was preparing ways to fix the whole thing though it seemed pretty useless because she was hitting nothing but dead ends. This only made Dorie more depressed. All this thinking and plotting eventually made her thirsty, so she asked her fairy to go make her a beverage.
"Dorieanna." Dorie called for her fairy. (Dodo's and the rest of the Ojamajo's fairies new names and personalities will be explained at the bottom)
"Yes, Dorie? How can I be of assistance?" the pink fairy bowed before her owner and companion ready to fulfill her request.
"May you go to the kitchen and make me some barely tea, please?"
"Sure thing. It will only take a sec." the pink fairy replied before flying off towards the kitchen. All the while Patina was gradually losing her patience.
"WHY ARE YOU ALL JUST SITTING HERE?! IT'S ALMOST TIME FOR THE SHOP TO OPEN! GET TO WORK!"
No reply. They didn't even budge. Them not moving and showing no signs of listening only fueled her anger.
"I SAID . . ." she was interrupted by a kick to the face. Patina was sent flying across the shop to the nearest wall. The one responsible for the brute force on Patina was Misao (Mimi), Mirabelle's head-strong fairy. Everyone, minus Dorieanna and the Ojamajos', turned to see a ticked off blue fairy and a greenling in the wall.
"They heard what ya said! Can't ya see they're not feelin' well?! Leave 'em alone would ya!" Misao yelled at Patina, not that she could actually hear her anyway.
"Fa-fa-fa-fa-FACE!" Morgan (Momo/Nini) was thrilled at the change of events. It's not every day you see flattened greenling and a crater in the wall. Also, she was really glad someone finally decided to shut her up. Lareli sweat-dropped at her childish behavior despite being a full grown fairy.
"I'll go get the plaster." Rena (Rere) stated floating off to go get the equipment required to fix the wall. Elizabeth (Elel/Roro) tried to hide a giggle while going to help Rena get the plaster. Catey (Caca/Fafa) high-fived Misao as she flew back to Mirabelle. At least some people were happy about the outcome of events in the shop.
Lareli was having trouble helping her companion get free from the crater in the wall. Dorie saw this and felt sorry for Patina even if she was yelling at them minutes before. Dorie got up from where she was sitting, walked over to the greenling and fairy, and with one good tug she freed Patina from her splinter producing prison. As Rena and Elizabeth flew back in with the plaster, Dorie gently set Patina on a nearby table out of the way of the working orange and purple fairies'.
"We got the plaster." Rena said exhaustedly placing the heavy bag down. Dorie sat back down just as her tea came in and the two other fairies to start on the broken wall.
"Here's your tea." Dorieanna set down the plate with the beverage in front of her companion.
"Thanks." Dorie patted her companion on her head. Taking a sip of her warm beverage, she let out a sigh. "Sorry for our menacing attitudes Patina, but it hasn't exactly been our day."
"Since when is it ever . . ." Patina was cut off by glares, "Uh . . . ahem, what I meant was . . . your point?"
"My point is that almost everyone in our school nearly found out our secret."
" . . . . . . WHAT?! WHEN, WHERE, HOW?!"
"We don't know for sure. What's worse is that they think we're a possible threat to their health and think of us as dangerous." The girls lowered their heads even more.
"Well I would too; I mean . . . have you seen yourselves when you're peeved? Let's just say I'd start to feel sorry for the bad guys."
"What do we do?" Dorie looked at Patina with pleading eyes. They were really desperate for help. She even started to feel sorry for them. They've faced things that even the bravest of people wouldn't dare try to even attempt, but this was something they weren't ready for.
"This is beyond my comprehension. Actually I never planned on this happening. Well, the first thing I would do in a critical predicament like this is to tell the queen."
"You mean Ms. Shannon (Yuki-sensei) the school nurse? You know, I still find it surprising that our school nurse is the queen of the Lunaverse."
"Yes, her."
"Should we tell her tomorrow?" Ellie asked.
"Definitely tomorrow." Reanne answered.
"At school or the castle?" Hana added.
"Well we do have physicals tomorrow. Maybe it's best at school. Heck maybe she already knows; it's not impossible thanks to Penny." Momoko mumbled that last part.
"You'll tell the queen tomorrow during your physicals. Be extra careful, we don't want any more slip ups." Patina explained the plan.
"Yes, Patina." the girls replied rather glumly. Since it was too late to open up shop and the hole in wall didn't help, so everyone took the opportunity to restock on supplies and clean a little. After that everyone called it a day and left for home.
-NEXT DAY AT SCHOOL-
The sixth graders were getting their physicals done all at the same time today for gym class. Ms. Shannon was measuring height while Ms. Cooper and some of the other female teachers were doing weight. Hana and Dorie spotted their chance to speak with Ms. Shannon and took it as immediately as it presented itself. The duo of mother and daughter made a bee line towards their target with determination. Soon, they were practically in her face despite the complaints of other female students behind them. Ms. Shannon took one serious glance at the two; no words needed to be spoken between the duo and queen because they understood each other perfectly. In silent agreement, the three nodded their heads slightly in unison and, as quickly as they arrived, Hana and Dorie left.
Dorie and Hana walked back over to their group and nodded at the others telling them the queen was aware of their situation. In response they let out a sigh of both relief and anxiousness. They realized the more they hold this off, the deeper the hole they were digging for themselves. Not to mention it's going to be harder to climb out of a hole that's quickly becoming a trench.
When all was said and done for physicals, all the students waited outside the nurse's office for results. Kids lined up in front of the nurse and teachers' as they received their papers. Ms. Shannon purposely left out and hid the girl's papers just to give them an excuse to stay behind.
"Hmm? Well that's odd." Ms. Shannon was looking through her note pad and couldn't seem to find something.
"What's the problem, Ms. Shannon?" Ms. Cooper asked her friend.
"Well it seems a few students physical didn't come out. I can't seem to find them. Could Reanne Griffith, Mirabelle Haywood, Dorie Goodwyn, Ellie Craft, Momoko Asuka, and Hana Makihatayama please stay with me?"
They didn't delay and quickly went into the office after making their way through the crowd. The rest of the students returned to their classes as instructed by teachers.
"I'll have them back to their classes as soon as possible Ms. Cooper."
Ms. Cooper nodded in understanding and made her way back to her classroom. As she closed the sliding door, Ms. Shannon turned to the girls. She made her way to her desk at the far corner of the room with the Ojamajos' eyes following her every move.
"Ms. Shannon, is it really safe to talk here?" Ellie asked the queen. To answer her question, she snapped her fingers and everything stopped. The queen had stopped time to ensure the confidentiality of their discussion; after all, it is her favorite way to ensure nobody overhears important discussion. "I forgot you could do that."
"You also forget that I am the Queen of the Lunaverse and that I can do almost anything." she said as she snapped her fingers once more as she sat down in her chair, transforming into her royal attire. Ms. Shannon disappeared and in her place sat Queen Lumina. The girls knelt on one knee to show their respect. "Please stand, all of you."
They did as told and stood without hesitation. Though, they were practically shaking by now and wondering what kind of punishment they might receive. Queen Lumina showed signs of speaking and, despite their undying nervousness, they leaned forward in anticipation. Finally, the words came . . .
"We need to think of a plan."

How do you like it? Reviews? And about the fairies names, they will be explained below. Pronunciation will be in parenthesis. (By the way, none of them wear shoes) I call some of them by different 'previous names' because it sticks with the original idea of taking the first 2 letters of the owner's name. (Ex. Ellie = Elel, Momoko = Momo, etc.) Just in case anyone gets confused though, I put the Japanese names there too. I hope it's not too complicated!
Previous Name: Dodo
Full Name: Dorieanna (do-ri-on-na)
Owner/Companion: Dorie
Description: Dorieanna is Dorie's fairy companion. When she endured her final transformation into a full adult like Lareli, she gained a full name as well. She shares many of her owner's traits such as her red-odangoed hair, her speech, attitude, etc. She is clumsy and sometimes dimwitted, but is kind, fair and willing to help others in their time of need. She is more mature and refined than her owner and is found to be the leader of the Ojamajo fairies. She wears somewhat of an Egyptian outfit to show her leadership above the other fairies and to match her owner's personality. [I will draw the outfit to explain better]
Previous Name: Rere
Full Name: Rena (ray-na)
Owner/Companion: Reanne
Description: Rena is Reanne's fairy companion. When she endured her final transformation into a full adult like Lareli, she gained a full name as well. She shares many of her owner's traits such as her shyness, etc. She is overwhelmingly smart and refined and is the brains of the Ojamajo fairies. She, like her owner, is afraid of ghosts and very shy; she is kind and is like a lady most of the time. She can also be clumsy and high-strung at times when upset. She wears an outfit similar to Lareli's but with a few touch-ups to be less revealing and to match her owner's personality. [I will draw the outfit to explain better]
Previous Name: Mimi
Full Name: Misao (me-sa-ow)
Owner/Companion: Mirabelle
Description: Misao is Mirabelle's fairy companion. When she endured her final transformation into a full adult like Lareli, she gained a full name as well. She shares many of her owner's traits such as her accent, attitude, strength, etc. She is the strength of the Ojamajo fairies. She, like her owner, is hard-headed and short-tempered. She tends to speak with action than with words first. Despite her cold outer shell, she is incredibly friendly and easy to get along with if you stay on her good side. She turns scary fierce if anyone upsets her, her friends, or her owner. She wears a t-shirt with a cross on the front and sweat pants to match her owner's personality. [I will draw outfit to explain better]
Previous Name: Elel/Roro
Full Name: Elizabeth
Owner/Companion: Ellie
Description: Elizabeth is Ellie's fairy companion. When she endured her final transformation into a full adult like Lareli, she gained a full name as well. She shares many of her owner's traits such as her singing voice, attitude, etc. She tends to hide most of her emotions like Ellie did in the first 2 seasons of the show. Elizabeth has somewhat of a stuck up attitude towards outsiders but can be friendly if you get to know her. She has a calm, cool, and mature personality like her owner and is the common sense of the Ojamajo fairies. She wears an outfit similar to Falinda's (Hehe) with a few touch ups to match her owner's personality. [I will draw outfit to explain better]
Previous Name: Momo/Nini
Full Name: Morgan
Owner/Companion: Momoko
Description: Morgan is Momoko's fairy companion. When she endured her final transformation into a full adult like Lareli, she gained a full name as well. She shares many of her owner's traits such as her musical talent, English-speaking skills, baking, etc. She is the prankster of the Ojamajo fairies. She loves pulling jokes and pranks on her friends to liven them up and to get them to have fun when they are down, but sometimes she takes them too far which earns her scoldings from Dorieanna and Elizabeth constantly. She is very lively and talented at guitar but can be serious if the situation calls for it. She sometimes throws random English in her sentences like Momoko which leads to people not understanding what she saying some of the time. She wears a large t-shirt that hangs off one of her shoulders {to show her carefreeness} and capris to match her owner's personality. [I will draw outfit to explain better]
Previous Name: Caca/Fafa
Full Name: Catey (cay-tee)
Owner/Companion: Caitlyn
Description: Catey is Caitlyn's fairy companion. Catey is a teenager fairy and she wears the outfit Dodo and the other fairies wore when they were teenagers. Catey has the ability to talk without being inside the recipe book. She shares many of her owner's traits such as her maturity, etc. She tends to act older than she is like her owner, but she can't help loving being a kid. Like Caitlyn to Dorie, Catey looks to Dorieanna as a big sister figure and goes to her for anything which makes them very close. She is the support of the Ojamajo fairies because whenever they need an extra hand, she'll come flying to the rescue. She is very outgoing and prefers to do things on her own but sometimes causes trouble unintentionally. Maybe that's why the older fairies think off her as the 'little sister' of the group.
Previous Name: Haha/Toto
Full Name: Hatsu (ha-t-su)
Owner/Companion: Hana
Description: Hatsu is Hana's fairy companion. Hatsu, like Catey, is a teenager fairy and she wears the outfit Dodo and the other fairies wore when they were teenagers. Unlike Catey, though, she cannot talk just yet; so, she needs the help of the recipe book or to have the other fairies translate what she's saying when Hana's not around. Because of her speech, it sounds like Hatsu is constantly laughing when she isn't. Hatsu is curious, playful, and lively which makes her the life of the Ojamajo fairies. She, like Hana, can get in trouble a lot if she herself isn't the cause of it. She is friendly and kind towards everyone and immediately wants to be your friend if you give her the chance.
