Farrah in Fairyland
doorbell. They shot Farrah
a dirty look.
    After waiting
for five minutes, Farrah decided that she would leave the three
trays of anchovy and pickle stem pizzas at the font door. She was
about to walk away, but as she tuned around, there she was face to
face with Samantha.
    She was
dressed in a sparkling blue dress. There was a tiara of rubies atop
her head and ruby red slippers to match. She had a big grin on her
face, relishing the fact that she had gotten a chance to see Farrah
in her baker’s uniform.
    “Well, well,
well. What do we have here? It can’t be the self-professed,
smartest fairy at the Pixie Academy, delivering pizzas. Oh, and by
the way, lovely uniform,” Samantha said as she tugged at the collar
of Farrah’s chef’s apron.
    Farrah’s face
became red with anger. Oh, she loathed the condescending look that
Samantha always gave her. Samantha continued to speak as she slowly
walked circles around Farrah, looking her up and down
disapprovingly.
    “ It must
kill you that I am a Fairy Godmother and you are just a lowly
baker. I guess that is the way things have to be. It is only right that the Superiora
get the most important jobs. After all, we can’t just have any old
fairy becoming a Fairy Godmother, can we?”
    Farrah felt
upset and although she had a strong desire to cry, she resisted
this feeling with everything she had in her. She didn’t want to
give Samantha the satisfaction.
    “Let me guess;
you had to wake up at some ungodly hour this morning to help your
mom and pop with that stupid little bakery.”
    “It’s not
stupid!” Interjected Farrah, her hands formed fists as they dangled
at her side.
    “ Whatever…Well, I guess you want to hear about my job…don’t you?”
    Before Farrah
could respond, Samantha had already started into the details of her
career thus far.
    “This morning,
all of the new Fairy Godmothers and Godfathers met at the FG
headquarters. We got to select the fairy boy or girl that we wanted
to be the guardians of. Of course, I got first pick and I chose a
young boy named Vincense. Oh, he is such a sweet young fairy. His
parents are both filthy rich. He has everything that a young fairy
could ever desire, including one of those super mega water slides
that comes out of his bedroom window. Every morning he hops out of
bed and out of his window down the slide. What a cool way of taking
a morning bath. This job is going to be a piece of cake. All I’ll
be expected to do is play with my young subject’s toys all day
long.”
    Not wanting to
hear anymore, Farrah attempted to push past her. Unfortunately,
Samantha’s outstretched arm stopped her.
    “Not so fast,
baker. I have a question to ask you.”
    Farrah was
caught off guard by Samantha’s words.
    “What do you
want?” Responded Farrah snidely as she stood side by side with
Samantha. Although she could feel her warm breath on her neck,
Farrah decided not to look at her.
    “I heard a
rumour that there was an Ordinaria that wanted to enter this year’s
Fairyland Talent Competition.”
    Farrah gulped
as she tried to keep a straight face.
    “That Ordinaria
wouldn’t happen to be you, would it Farrah?”
    Not wanting to
respond, Farrah pushed past Samantha much more forcibly this time.
She mounted Bella quickly, but Samantha continued to press the
issue as she stepped in front of the Volare. She tried to pet Bella
on her head, but instead, Bella jumped out of the way.
    “ Oh,
Farrah, I hope for your sake that it isn’t you that has indeed decided to enter the contest. I
mean, can you imagine an Ordinaria trying to compete with a
Superiora’s spell? I can just picture you up there on the stage,
using your Pixie dust to shred cheese for a pizza while I summon a
winged sea horse to shower the crowd with candy and
roses.”
    Before Farrah
could take off, Samantha positioned herself in front of Bella
again. Her voice had changed to a much more serious tone.
    “All kidding
aside, you’d better not even attempt to
