It was two weeks before Kylee's birthday. Kylee was sound asleep, dreaming about a magical ball held in her honor by a rather handsome and peculiar man…
"Kylee!" called her mother. "You're going to be late!" Kylee groaned and let her mind process the words. They weren't her mother's…
Through dangers untold, and hardships unnumbered, I have fought my way here to the Castle beyond the Goblin City, to take back the child that you have stolen. For my will is as strong as yours, and my kingdom is as great! You have no power over me!
Wait… LATE?!
Kylee bolted and threw on the closest shirt (As the World Falls Down tank top) and jeans. She quickly brushed her hair and did her makeup. She grabbed her lunch and a peach for breakfast. "Bye, Mom!" she said as she grabbed her school things and ran to catch the bus.
Her friend Adele was on the bus. She smiled when she saw Kylee. "Hey, girl!" Adele said in her usual perky-happy way. Then she peered closer at Kylee. "I like your new makeup!"
Kylee was confused. "What new makeup? I didn't get new makeup in 24 hours!"
"Yeah you did! Your face is all shiny- like, like that weird dude in your favorite movie!"
Kylee's face flushed shiny red. "He. Is. Not. WEIRD!" she screamed. Then she realised what Adele had said. Only fey have shiny faces.
She grabbed her pocket mirror and looked at her face. The only makeup I applied was lipstick and Jareth eye makeup! My face should not be shiny!
It was.
