PIXIE HOLLOW'S MODERNIZATION
A DISNEY FAIRIES (Tinkerbell) FANFICTION
WRITTEN IN WPS OFFICE
CHAPTER ONE
The Discovery
People lose things on the Mainland from time to time. When that happens, it washes up onto the shores of the Neverland, and therefore can be picked up, and quite possibly, used, by anyone coming past. This can range from jewelry, music boxes, even a clock, to a common radio-controlled car, or a television remote control. But, as a laptop and cell phone wound up washing up onto the shores of the Fairy Cove, no-one noticed. It was strange to have a laptop, let alone a cell phone, wash up onto Neverland, as computers weren't as easily lost as phones; they were big units. But, this one just so happened to become, like a lot of other things before, what the fairies of Pixie Hollow referred to as a 'lost thing.' And that sparked the interest of one particular fairy passing through.
Fairy Mary, at that moment, was flying by, searching for more 'lost things.' She knew the risk of coming down here, and by and large, she was willing to take it. When she saw the laptop, she stopped, and flew down. A big, black unit lay before her, a series of lights and a latch on the front. She pulled the latch, and the top sprung up a small distance. With all her might, she pushed the top up until she could see the inside. Sure enough, a keyboard, square screen, trackpad, and a button to switch it on were revealed. But, she didn't know that!
"What kind of contraption is this?" she thought. She saw the on switch, and pressed it. Presently, a whirring sound could be heard, followed by a small beep. Then, the display lit up with such a dazzling color picture as to startle her. Fairy Mary stepped back, as if in shock, but then found the courage to continue on. As soon as the machine finished its startup routine, another display came onto the screen. If a human were using this, it would be the desktop or home screen.
That was it. Time to experiment. Fairy Mary formed a ball of pixie dust in her hand, and then, like a pitcher at a baseball game, threw a fastball at the computer. The laptop instantly shrunk to fairy size on contact, and boomeranged back to her in the process. Strangely enough, the phone went to her, too. She smiled, knowing her luck. She took the devices with her, back to Tinker's Nook.
Little did she know that those first two devices would spark a revolution.
In time, they'd grow to be the most useful devices in Pixie Hollow.
AUTHOR'S NOTE
Here it is: the discovery. Some people may be thinking "how could a laptop be lost?" whereas I say "how couldn't one be lost?" Now, Fairy Mary and the rest of Tinker's Nook may not know it yet, but this is just the start of an implementation of modern human electronics. Please read and review.
