Cinderella Dimensions

Story 2: A Way With Magic

-------------------------------

Scene: Fairy Godmother Lounge where all the elite fairy godmothers hang out and talk rot, manicu-
re their wands or boast about their work.

Fairy Godmother 1 (henceforth known as FG 1): I have a feeling we are needed somewhere.

Fairy Godmother 2 (henceforth known as FG 2): Oh really FG 1? The last time you said that _I_
ended up sued in the High Court of Magic for
suspending time in an uncertified location. I had
to pay 30 kg of fairy dust and do community service
for 20 years. It's not a great thing, granting
wishes to shallow-minded people! Imagine, 30 kg
of fairydust! That's as much that wastrel
Tinkerbelle shed for fifty years.

Tinkerbelle: Pardon me for overhearing you backstabbing me! I am _not_ a wastrel! Doing good goes
a long way.

FG 2: Yeah, making people fly and then when the fairydust runs out, they fall and break their
necks.

Tinkerbelle: (retorts) It was an accident. I _told_ Peter not to fly around the world five times.
He _wouldn't_ listen to me. Besides, he did not break his neck.

FG 2: Only put his neck in a cast for six months...for fun hmm??

Tinkerbelle: Hmmph! (Flies off) I put myself better than talking to old coots.

FG 2: (watches her fly away) Who told you to interfere with our conversation? (To FG 1) Now where
was I? Oh yeah, there was that ball, and you told me that all fairies were invited. And in
the middle of that party Mellie turn up howling. Dear Mellie, always in a short temper.

FG 1: She _did_ get invited. I was correct.

FG 2: She insisted that she had not been invited.

FG 1: It is no fault of others that she was too busy fixing up the Wicked Witch of West that she
did not notice that the invitation card fell into the cauldron.

FG 2: (amused) Oh dear. No wonder she thought that she was not invited. So anyway, it was you who
told me to fix things last minute. That poor princess had to sleep a hundred years.

FG 1: Well, maybe you should have tried another spell.

FG 2: I _was_ in a hurry! Seeing all those people panic and sort. The time spell was the only
spell I had in mind. Anyway, it _was_ your fault.

FG 1: It was no fault of mine. You screwed yourself up. Anyway, I'll be going to attend this case
if you're not going to.

FG 2: I don't want to go. I'll end up in trouble. You always end people up in trouble. Like
the Blue Fairy...You're the one who told her to make that wooden thing a boy. Look at him!
He's a juvenile. He's causing trouble. He's in court.

FG 1: He did not go to court. Just kidnapped, eaten by a whale and became a real boy. He is
living very happily ever after with his foster father.

FG 2: And the Blue Fairy is still doing her 10 year community service.

FG 1: Well, if you will excuse me, I still have to go. Goodbye. (she leaves)

FG 2: (Looks into her her crystal ball) She'll screw up this Cinder girl's case also. Or she'll
get someone to screw it up for her. I don't trust her...
