TWO HOURS LATER...
Loo-nah and I were sitting next to each other on an old couch. I've been living with my parents (albeit not being very young anymore), but they were not home. They had some important business to do on the other side of the country, so they needed to leave for about two for us two, because I didn't need to explain them anything. Nonetheless, I felt terrible. I felt very, very sorry for poor Loo-nah. There was nothing I could do for her in that awful situation. I didn't dare to say a single word or even take a look at her. Seeing her like that would squeeze lots of tears from my eyes and I knew that. Then, a loud, distinctive, growling sound has come. I looked at little princess with widened eyes. She was embarassed by her guts telling she needed to be fed.
- Oh! I'm sorry! - she said.
- Hungry, huh?
She didn't respond.
- '' Oh well... I guess I can't let her starve''. - I thought. I had no idea what kind of food from Earth would be appropiate for little alien girl like her. I had no other choice but to take a risk. I've turned my tablet on in order to find some cake receipe. By using all ingedients available at the kitchen, I've baked a simple but still pretty sweet and tasty vanilla cake. We both enjoyed that treat.I was glad to see her a little bit happier than before.
When she was done with eating, she burped quietly and giggled. That made me laugh and say : ''Bless you''. This is what I've been saying everytime I burped. It didn't take Loo-nah very long to get sad again. She was sitting with her eyes stuck on the floor and her arms wrapped around her toy - plushie frog-like toy named Loo-Loo.
- '' What should I do now?'' - I wondered.
I was in a pickle. I've never had such a difficult situation in my entire life.
- Uhm... Loo-nah?
- Yes, Solitaire?
- Your toy...
- Loo-Loo? Is there something wrong with her?
- It is all dirty. And damaged too. Why won't you give me Loo-Loo for a moment so I could take care of her?
- I... I don't know.
- Trust me. I'm pretty good at repairing toys.
- Well... OK then. But please, be gentle with my her.
I took the stuffed animal from the princess and said:
- I assure you she'll be very well treated.
Few hours later, as the night has fallen, Loo-nah already had her little friend all cleaned and sewn up.
I put her in a bed, letting her use my pillow and my blanket.
- Are you comfortable? - I asked with care.
- Yes, I am. Thank you. Uhm...Solitaire?
- What is it?
- Could you, please, tell me a fable? Of course, if it's not a problem...
- A fable, huh? Lemme see. How about one of my fovourite ones?
I've decided to tell her ''Mother Holle''. At the end of the story, Loo-nah was slowly falling soon as she closed her eyes, I reached for her tiara to take it off. I barely touched it when a bright, multicolored light, came out of the royal,shiny object, blinding me and knocked me unconcious. When I woke up, I realized I was laying down on the floor.
- Wha- what happened? - I asked, changing my position to a kneeling one.
- Solitaire? - I heard Loo-nah speaking to me. She's been standing next to me and observing me.
- Loo-nah? - I mumbled. - What happened? What am I doing lying down on the floor like that?
- You touched my tiara, didn't you?
- Yeah, but... what...
- You are a Witch now!
- What?
- My mother once told me about enormous amounts of magical power sealed inside every fantazite. - Fantazite?
- Precious gem stones from my homeworld. My people have been using them for many purposes, mostly as jewelry or parts of various house decorations. Those were also attached to my tiara. Now they are part of you.
- How come?
- It is said that if an intelligent, female being from another world comes into contact with a fantazite, she turns into one of the Witches - long-gone, cruel, ravenous creatures from the ancient times.
- Witches? Huh, wait up for a second! I feel different. But... not much more wicked than usually. In fact, I fell very good.
I stood up really rapidly and ran into my room. Hundreds of dolls, plushies, action figures and many other kinds of toys were standing on the floor and staring right at me. - Solitaire! What are these toys doing here? - asked princess Loo-nah a little scared.
- Relax. They are mine. - I said without any signs of fright or concern.
- Yours? - little alien girl took a better look at tons of playthings that were moving like if they were living beings. - But... how?
- It is my magic. - I explained. - I've got the power over every toy in the world.
- And... these ones I see? Do they really belong to you?
- Why of course. I haven't mentioned it yet, but I am a toy collector. - Oh my! You have many beatiful toys in your collection.
- Why, thank you! You're very nice. My little treasure made a way for me so I could reach my kendama. I seized the famous Japanese toy, raised it over my head, made a quick move back and straightened my arm, like a wizard or a witch when using its wand. Pale, red glow has been released from the ball on the top of kendama. We could see the street Zim's base was placed on. - What is that? - asked Loo-nah, with her eyes stuck on a luminous image.
- This is magical passage to your world. - I answered. - How did you...
- I'll tell you later. Now let's get prepared. There is a lot to do in there, isn't it?
- What do you mean?
- Don't you get it? I've got this awesome, divine power, provided by you. Well, by your tiara, to be precise. I am capable and willing, willing as he...heck to help you and save your mother, your planet and whole universe from the Irkens.
- Really? You'll do this for me?
- Sure I will. Now, we've got some work to do before we go.
