Current Events

[Miss Manday]

The forest was still on this particular summer's eve, though the occasional wind would stir the green leaves once in awhile. Aside from the cool breeze, however, it seemed that nothing was awake in Pixie Hollow. But this was far from the truth, for at that very moment a meeting was being held, and all of the most important faeries of the Fantasysphere were in attendance...

"Oh, something must be done."

"I agree dear, but what?"

"Oooh, I think we should just magick 'em back to the place they came from!"

"Now now, dear, we mustn't think so wickedly..."

"Oh oh, goodness me dears...don't get so excited. We've got a plan, and its a good one." The Fairy Godmother whapped her wand against her palm, trying to get the attention of the other faeries who were gossiping amongst themselves. Honestly, get a group of faeries together and the chatter would never cease... "Please, for goodness sakes!"

"Alright now, ladies..." chimed a soft voice. All of the faeries paused and looked up as the reserved Blue Fairy finally spoke for the first time that evening. "As the Fairy Godmother has said, we have come up with a plan to counter the forces of evil that threaten us. Are you willing to hear it out?"

"Oh, of course ma'am!" "Yes, do tell us dear!" "Well, why not."

The Blue Fairy smiled at the eager faeries, then nodded. "It is quite simple, my friends. A force of good must be gathered to combat that of evil. But whom, was the question? Surely she-who-shall-not-be-named and her horde would be expecting the princes and heroes of their worlds. And so, we have decided to send the princesses and heroines in their place."

"Oh my!" "Not dear sweet Aurora!" "And all of the others, too!"

She smiled and laughed, a sound that would remind one of the tinkling of bells. "Never fear, my dears. They will not come to harm. Not only shall we look after them, but they will not be without guardians and assistance. Tinkerbell has made sure of that." She looked around at the faeries who were now exchanging glances among themselves, then folded her hands together. "My friends, it is time to bring our heroines here to accept their task. Please, assist us."

"Yes, that's quite right. Lets work together!" agreed the Fairy Godmother, standing up to join the Blue Fairy and Queen Clarion, the leader of the Pixies. "We have to focus our magic together in order to bring all those girls here at once!"

The Blue Fairy smiled at her cheerful companion, then closed her eyes, lifting her wand. As the other faeries did the same, contributing their own magic, a bright light gathered in the midst of them, growing and growing every second, until it burst into a flash that illuminated all of Pixie Hollow. And when sight was regained, all of the faeries could see that a group of disoriented girls had been brought among them. Smiling, the fairy leader opened her arms warmly. "Welcome to Pixie Hollow, my friends."

[DisneyPrincess]

Cinderella blinked against the bright light and suddenly she was no longer in her bedroom, but in a room with many other girls. "Oh dear, wh-where am I...?" she asked hesitantly.

Aurora was shocked by a sudden bright light, then relived yet curious to see her Aunts. "Aunt Flora! Aunt Fauna! oh, and Aunt Merryweather! How did I get here? What is this place?" she asked nervously.

[Wendy]

Perplexed as ever, amongst many girls older than her age, Wendy Darling stood in an odd and green-green place she had never dreamed of in her dreams. Dressed in her usual favorite blue nightgown, and with her hair up in a blue bow, she turned her attention to the other girls who stood before her. The twelve-year-old wondered if she knew them at all. Perhaps they were friends from school? Curiously, she glanced at each girl, trying to recognize each and every one of them. Soon she came to the sense that she knew none of them, nor did she even meet them at all.

"I must be dreaming!" She murmured softly. She definitely wasn't in Neverland. She turned her attention to the faeries, many of which reminded her of Tinker Bell. She rubbed her eyes, for she figured they were quite foggy and blury of her surroundings. She frantically turned her attention to the girls, then the faeries, and then the whole scenery. It was all new and unfamiliar to her. And why was she here to begin with? Her finger laid on her chin, thinking intently about the situation.

Soon her thoughts were interrupted by a voice, hallow as ever. "Pixie Hollow?" she repeated, utterly confused about what the woman in blue had just said. Does she even know who I am?

[Tinkerbell]

Even when you expect something to happen, it can still shock you when it actually occurs. This was one such time for Tinkerbell. Ever since she had received the missive from the Queen explaining that an emergency council session was going to be held, she had been on pins and needles. Unlike many of the other fairies who were generally optimistic about calling on the various princesses and heroines, Tinkerbell (dislike for one of the girls notwithstanding) was not so confident of the general reaction. Some had potential...others, well others had lived in an Ivory Tower all their lives and would probably not be able to withstand much danger.

After she had bowed to the Queen, acknowledged her elders and nodded hello to old friends, Tink flew to her seat. How she had wound up on this council still escaped her. Yes she was a great pots-and-pans fairy but didn't anyone realize that her temperament was not really suited towards the positive virtues council members were supposed to have? Of course once that thought went through her mind she heard Merryweather make a crass comment and smiled. It was nice to see another sassy fairy once in a while.

Once everything was settled the Summoning began. Tinkerbell looked across the room looking to find Peter. She couldn't wait to see his reaction when he learned that one of the girls he would be guarding was Wendy. She had conveniently left out that crucial piece of information. As soon as the light died down nearly a dozen disoriented girls were standing in front of the council. The first thing Tink registered was the various ages, which ranged from about 7 or 8 all the way to low twenties. And Blue expects Dragon Lady to be defeated by 3 children and a gang of teens? she wondered.

Finally it seemed that some of the girls were getting their bearings. Two of them seemed to already know some of the council fairies. Oh yeah, the famous Ella and Rose. "We Summoned you here." Tink answered briefly. "It turns out you're need for a dangerous mission." Seeing Wendy, she was tempted to add "Which may include terror, torture and possibly a gruesome death." However Tink was sure the Queen and the Blue Fairy weren't going to appreciate it much.

[Miss Manday]

"What are you doing? Where are you dragging me to?" "I'm not touching you," said Susan. "Someone is pulling me. Oh, stop it!" Everyone noticed that all the others' faces had gone very white. "I felt just the same." said Edmund in a breathless voice. "As if I were being dragged along. A most frightful pulling-ugh! its beginning again. Look sharp! All catch hands and keep together. This is magic-I can tell by the feeling! Quick!"

And suddenly...something didn't feel quite right. Pausing, Belle lifted her eyes from the pages of the book which she had been engrossed in, blinking a few times at the change in scenery. Why, this wasn't her library at all! Closing the book slowly, she turned once, taking in everything that she possibly could. Well, this was quite interesting! But oh, what a lovely enchanted little place, and all of the magical beings! She had read about these, they were faeries!

There were other girls here, of strange races, and she was sure she had read about many of them as well. But they looked like they didn't belong here either...some were frightened, stunned...some others curious, like herself. She wasn't worried...this was just another adventure!

She turned and looked to the beautiful faerie clad in blue, who welcomed them to what she called Pixie Hollow. Bowing politely, she offered a smile. "Bonjour, and thank you."

"Oh my...." Not again! What had she done this time? She hadn't fallen through any wells or ...what were they called again? Ah yes, sewers... what sort of transportation had occured to bring her here to THIS place? Oh, Pip was never going to forgive her for getting lost AGAIN if he found out about this...

This place was quite curious, but it seemed more friendly than the Kingdom Of New York had first been...well, it did up until she noticed the looks that little pixie was giving to the girl with the big blue bow in her nightgown. Dangerous mission...? "Oh...my."

This was...rather peculiar. One moment, she had been standing on her balcony, speaking to Rajah as she watched the going-ons of the palace folk below. Next thing she knew...she was here. In the midst of many different looking women. What sort of magic was this...? Was Genie pulling some sort of prank on her?

Jasmine looked around, trying to see if she recognized anyone at all, but alas...not a soul. Frowning, she rubbed her arm idly, trying to figure all of this out...but not a bit of it made sense. Pixie Hollow...she had never heard of his place. The little pixie mentioned a 'dangerous mission'...what in the world...? And if it was so dangerous, why had a bunch of GIRLS been summoned? Wouldn't Aladdin have been better suited for this...? "I don't understand..." And someone needed to explain in full detail. And soon.

[Esmeralda]

Esmeralda heart beat faster and faster. One minute, she had been in her bed asleep, safe, and the next...well, she didn't know where she was. That was the problem.

"What the..."

She didn't let the fear show on her face, as her green eyes narrowed, flitting from face to face, from one pair of wings to another. She allowed herself to take a few steps back, not taking her eyes from any of them as she picked up a sharp stick and a rock. This strange group of women had kidnapped her, and she wasn't going to let them turn her into a frog without a fight.

It became apparent that she hadn't been the only one kidnapped from the dazed and confused expressions on the faces of some of the other girls. But Esmeralda did not let her guard down. The girls could have been acting, and the welcoming smiles on the faces of the 'fairies' fake.

She caught snatches of what they were saying, and her mind began to race. It was all so confusing. This had to be a dream- there was no other explanation. Soon enough, she would wake up and be able to laugh over it with Phoebus.

[Kida]

{OCC 1: Colors for speaking for who's who for Clarion, the Pixie Queen, and Kida, the Atlantean Queen: Queen Clarion,Kida. I'm temporarily NPCing obby until he's taken.}


Queen Clarion:

The Queen of the Pixies, Clarion, smiled at her friends and co-leaders of the Fairy Council whom she stood next to, the Blue Fairy and the Fairy Godmother. She'd closed her eyes, focused her magic, and lifted her wand at the exact moment that Blue and Godmother did. As the blast of light filled her home, the Fairy Queen stood as tall as she could and smiled a welcoming smile that crept up into her eyes and made them sparkle. Once it had disappeared and the many princesses, one other Queen and several girls appeared, she said, with a vioce that would sound to the girls and women like the ringing of many pure bells,
"Dear girls, my friend, the Blue Fairy is quite correct in telling you where you are currently, as is Tinkerbell. All will be explained momentarily. I am Queen Clarion, queen of the Pixies and of this hollow and part of Neverland. es, we have brought you to a part of Neverland,girls."

She hoped that this would be easy, but knew in her heart of hearts that it was not to be so.
With so many princesses and two Queens in one place, this could get very confusing and very ugly very quickly! Luckily when they'd transported the girls here, one of the guardians had been nearby his mistress, a purple beast whose name the Fairy Queen did not know. Turning her attention to the previously mentioned medium sized beast at the white haired girl's-woman's?- side and pointing to it, she spoke again, "Do not be afraid, my good princesses, and Queen, you are not without a guardian. That purple beast is to be one of your guardians."




Kida was confused again, one moment she had been sitting on her throne in her palace on her freshly re-surfaced island home and Kingdom of Atlantis, Obby at her side, listening to her people bring their problems to their monarchs and the next she was in some strange place, Obby still by her side, obedient as ever, with a multitude of other girls who looked as confused as she felt. Some of the girls looked to be quite young, but of course as old as Kida was, despite not looking it, these girls were bound to look young to her eyes. Turning to the women who had spoken she spoke six sentences, in her most dipomaltic and royal yet non-condsending voice and way with her Altantean accent probably painfully traceable to the other people here, "I am Kidagakash, Queen of Atlantis, and this 'beast' is Obby, my pet lava-dog. Thank you, Queen Clarion, it is nice to meet you. I have some questions for you and I will not think of leaving this place until they are answered. Why have we, the women of our worlds been chosen to take on this mission? Why do not the men take this mision upon themselves?" She was quite confused and little scared. Thank goodness she had been wearing some of her royal robes that had hiding places for her smaller weapons. Her sword, she had sheathed and was wearing on her left side. She slowly moved her left hand towards the sword's handle but did not allow her hand to touch it, not yet, not until she knew if these women who'd brought her and the others here were friends like Abudrey, Dr Sweet, Cookie, Mrs. Packard, Mole, Vinny, and Mr Whitmore, or foes, like Rourke, Helga, and Mr. Whitmore's old former friend who'd thought himself odin and herself, Brunhilda his daughter!
Now THAT had been one-what were Milo's words for it, again?, ah yes now she remembed her dear, faithful, loyal husband Milo's words-CRAZY and ZANY adventure. Somehow Kida had ended up here , apparently about to be sent on another adventure, only this time without Milo to explain things to her or help her!!! She looked about her once more and noticed another woman-girl?- who had picked up a rock and a stick, and looked ready to attack the faries.



{occ 2: yes, guys (and gals), English IS my FIRST language, and I know all the GRAMMAR rules. So therefore I KNOW hat Kida's dialogue isn't PROPER ENGLISH but go along with it, Kida's English gets messed up when she's nervous!! and i HAD to do that 'I have some questions for you and I wll not think of leaving this place until they are answered.' line!!}

[belle_lover]

Lilo was arguing with her sister Nani one minute, and the next she was gone. She was in a green place that certainly was not Hawaii. What the...? Completely forgetting what she was arguing about, she took in her surroundings.

First off, it looked like she was not the only one that was pulled here. In fact, she looked like there were several lost and confused girls/women. She also noticed that there were a couple other girls who seemed to be about the same age, if not close to it. Everyone else was much older. She also didn't recognize any of them, so she didn't know if she should trust them. After all, Nani always told her never to talk to strangers. But what if everyone was a stranger? She was confused and wanted to know why she was here.

[Nova]

Mulan was instantly on the defense the moment she felt something was wrong; it was harder turning off her soldier trainings than it had been to learn them. Her knees crouched into a defensive position, her hand going for the sword at her side, her brain registering a second late that she didn't have her sword. She had been at home, a place where carrying her sword around seemed unnecessary. How was she supposed to know that she'd be whipped from her home by some unknown force of magic? She knew it couldn't be her family's guardians...
With trained eyes, Mulan quickly analyzed the situation, noting with confusion that they were all female, and most looking just as confused as she. Still feeling slightly naked without her sword (and Mushu for that matter), Mulan's hands curled into fists as she straightened her stature (hey, she had to keep one part of her on the defense in an unknown place) and studied the one's who had apparently 'summoned' them. Dark brown eyes narrowed slightly in distaste at the smallest...err...winged woman (were these fairies or costumes?) and her words, not particularly caring for the attitude she seemed to emit. But Mulan had dealt with much worse, and her old habits kicked in, becoming a soldier at the mention of a dangerous mission. For the time being, she'd be silent and listen to what these...beings had to say.
...But she really wished she had her sword. Just for some comfort. Or something.

As a young girl stood up, brushed her dress off, and looked around her, the only thought that went through her mind, curiously enough, was, "Oh, not again."

[Peter Pan]

According to the message that Tink had given him, he was supposed to arrive at Pixie Hollow for something-or-other that was important; so he assumed. He hadn’t really been paying the best attention when he had received word of the need for his attendance at the Council anyway. He had been out hunting with the Lost Boys, and at the time, that had seemed far better fun instead of listening to jobs he was expected to do. But still, he hadn’t forgotten the fact that he was summoned by the Faeries—who were dear allies to him and had done much for him in the past. Besides, he had to show respect for Queen Clarion, who kept the forests of Neverland in order and nearly exploding with magic. Although, despite him having his unwavering loyalty and respect to the faeries, Tink had left out a couple little details, ones that he most certainly would have stopped his adventures to hear. To start, it turned out that the faeries had summoned him to not just a little visit, but a meeting. As far as Peter was concerned, meetings were for grownups, and when he had discovered that he would probably have to sit around Pixie Hollow and do nothing, he couldn’t help but rumple his nose in disgust. Another minor snippet that Tinkerbell had “forgotten” to mention was the fact that the faeries had planned on teleporting a bunch of girls to said meeting, and as we all know, Peter wasn’t very big on ladies in any part of Neverland. But it wasn’t his choice to make, and besides, he, of all people, had been chosen to help protect them.

Alright, so perhaps the last bit wasn’t that bad. It was actually quite a pleasant surprise. This way, he had a part in fighting the villains to some extent, and didn’t have to sit back sourly and miss everything like the rest of the heroes did; as one of the faeries had informed him.

However, the gathering was not anything short of boring, although he had heard the news that he was chosen by the faeries to protect the girls. Still, he was nothing less than a child, and as most tended to, he grew tired of it soon enough. He had remained a ways off from the chair of the Blue Fairy for the start of the evening, and had been dramatically showing his boredom by changing positions while he sat in midair. To be frank, he wasn’t exactly being the most polite being in the room, but alas, he knew not the true importance of this formal occasion. Not that sitting upright and doing what others (specifically mature, adult-like faeries) asked of him were his strong points.

His prayers were answered though, when he heard the three Alliance Leading Faeries speak up and ask the others to cast their Magic in unison to summon the Soldiers to Pixie Hollow for an introduction to the tasks they were about to present. Finally, something interesting was happening! Instead of huffing and acting in a rude fashion, he quickly rearranged himself so he was sitting upright and proud, sitting Indian-style in the spot he had been in thus far. Then, there was a great beam of light, causing Peter to shield his eyes from the bright rays. Only moments later, several females appeared in the center of the room, squinting and disoriented; confused as to where they were. Some of them even seemed angry or defensive. The boy simply tilted his head as he saw the variety of them, in height, age, and hair color. “Hm. Never seen anything like them before…” He thought to himself, as he surveyed those particularly wearing foreign and medieval-era garments. Queen Clarion and the Blue Fairy then began to speak, welcoming the heroines into Pixie Hollow, even though the girls were probably more focused on if it was a dream or not. He noted that one, dark haired girl was holding a stick and seemed ready to lunge at the nearest faerie, another woman who was grabbing at what seemed to be an imaginary sword, and another white-haired woman who had even decided to speak up to the Alliance Founders. “…Why have we, the women of our worlds been chosen to take on this mission? Why do not the men take this mision upon themselves?” As the exotic-looking woman inquired as to why she was truly brought here, Peter's gaze darted about the group of mainly dumbfounded girls, a look of slight disappointment spread over his face. “I was wondering the same thing.” He mumbled gruffly, more to himself, than anyone else.

Well, as far as he was concerned, this was turning out to be a pretty bad meeting, and he decided to see if he knew anyone that mingled in the diverse bunch. As he continued to scan through the group of girls one familiar one caught his eye. “Wendy? Wendy!” He had barely even thought that he might possibly be interrupting something, or making a scene by blurting out her name. But he was far less worried about that matter, because Wendy was here! Nobody had said anything about that!

Yes, nobody being Tinkerbell.

As he thought about it, and ceased waving to Wendy, he searched the other end of the room for Tink. When he found her small figure glowing and curtly replying to someone’s question of why they were here, he simply stared and crossed his arms, with a hard emotion clearly worn on his face. Then he merely waited for her to glance his way.

[Ariel]

So far Ariel had been having a pretty boring and uneventful day. It was still a bit jarring to wake up in a palace by the sea instead of in it, but with an entire new world to explore it seemed to be a fair trade. Part of the exploration of this new world was learning the history of Eric's Kingdom and the relationship with its neighbours. Or at least that's what she was supposed to be doing.

It had first been just a gentle tug on her clothes and hair, which she really paid no attention to. It was when the world around her became blurry and started to spin that began to give Ariel cause for concern. When the world finally stopped spinning and came back into focus, she was stunned. She was no longer in the parlour where she was supposed to be meeting Carlotta. She was now in some kind of forest standing in front of a large...Oh what did Eric call it? Oh yes! A tree!

Looking around she realized that she wasn't the only one who seemed utterly confused. There were several other girls nearby, most near her own age and three looked much younger. According to one of the women sitting in front of them (who had wings like Scuttle only clear) they had all been selected for some kind of mission. Ariel raised an eyebrow. Why me? Why us? She didn't feel suited for any mission. Sure she had some crazy adventures in the last few years, but that was as a mermaid. She could barely walk in this new body, let alone try anything she had seen Eric, the sailors or the soldiers do. Looking around again she noticed one of the girls take a soldier's position-someone who would know what they were doing.

However Ariel's natural curiosity took over and overcame any doubts. Here she was in a brand new place with all kinds of new people. One of the girls introduced herself with an accent that was similar to Louie's only more refined. And Louie said he was from France. Is she from there too? "Hejsa." she said nervously using the local greeting Eric had taught her. "I'm Ariel." To the strangers on the council, she wobbled a curtsy and gave a bright smile. "What kind of mission. Is it like an adventure?"

[Jane]

"Oh, just a little... bit... more," Jane murmured, chewing on her tongue as she twisted her upper body a little bit, toes curling in the ground as her pencil flew across the paper, shading here, darkening a line here. Her eyes went to the elephant in front of her and she smiled, mind instantly switching to animal speak as she opened her mouth again. "Tantor, darling, move a bit more to the left for me," and then she was back to her work. A few seconds ticked by, and Jane felt something tugging at her shirt, but she didn't pay any attention to it. She'd become all too used to the youngsters of the colony wanting to play with her. Just as she brushed off the sensation, a harsh tugging came and vertigo swept over her. She groaned and closed her eyes momentarily, willing away the strange sensation. "Ooh lord, shouldn't have had those berries," she groaned, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear as she opened her eyes, blinking against the sudden change of lights.

"Oh... my..." Jane gasped, standing up and looking around, not caring that her sketch pad had fallen to the ground. There around her were... well... people. She could see someone obviously chineese, another little one that looked like a cross between asian and something else, and... well... there was no sign of her lush jungle, just the dry leaves of some forest. But that wasn't what caused near hysterical laughter to escape her as her mind reeled. There, sitting in front of her were tiny little people, and other larger people with wings. Actual wings. If that wasn't enough to spell out the sudden grips of insanity, she didn't know what did.

"Oh look," she said, pointing at the faeries with a shaking arm as laughter bubbled out of her throat again. "Little people... with... wings... ehehehe," she leaned over slightly to dust off the tattered, dirty red-brown cloth tied around her waist as a make-shift skirt. Honestly, this was a thousand times worse than meeting a man who talked to monkeys on an uninhabited island. "C'mon Jane, ol' gal, y'gotta wake up, there's no way you can suddenly not be in Africa, and there's no way these little... things can exist," she shook her head, trying to clear her mind as she stood up, glancing around warily again. In all honesty, she hadn't really been paying attention to anything that was being said, but her mind tended to work without her conscious ok, and this time it was picking up the accents of people who spoke up. Jane wasn't any linguist, but as far as she could tell there were French people, a fellow member of the Queen's land, and someone with a completely unrecognizable accent, but that was ok. After all, she had white hair and that in itself spelled out hallucination.

[Anastasia]

Snow White was whisked away from her bed while she was asleep and at first she mistook the bright light for sunlight shining in through the window and had to shield her face from it. Only when she sat up and rubbed her eyes awake did she see that she wasn't at home anymore. Was this a dream? She quickly got to her feet with a gasp and spun around, gawking at the strange girls and winged creatures with quite a bit of fright; this didn't look like the forest she knew and there were no dwarfs or any of the familiar animals around who could help her. When one of the fairies spoke of a dangerous mission, Snow finally asked in her native tongue, "Why? I don't understand." She still hadn't the slightest of what happened and who the other girls were.

((OOC: Sorry it's short. Hope it's ok to post this before the finished profile. ^^; ))

[Miss Manday]

It was all the three faeries could do not to go and hug their dear Aurora immediately, for they had not seen her since her happily ever after with Phillip...they had been too busy here, worrying about this issue. But there was no time for reunions, not quite yet. Instead, they simply offered warm smiles. "Don't worry dear, everything will be explained soon!" "Oh yes, quite soon." "Hopefully."

Belle was fasinated by all that was going on. From her readings, she knew several other languages, and could understand some of what was being said by the other girls. Some of these languages though, she'd never even heard of, or knew they existed...

When she heard the faerie queen mention Neverland, she grew excited. This was part of Neverland? The very place in the fairytales she'd grown up reading? How exciting! It was all like a storybook made real! Yes, now she saw it. The boy sitting amongst the faes, that had to be Peter Pan! And the little fae, the one who seemed so indignant about something... Tinkerbell, for sure. Oh, this was absolutely magical! Any doubt or fear she had had upon coming to this place (though admittedly there hadn't been much, merely apprehension) had vanished, and been replaced with a growing excitement and a yearn for a new adventure.

The Blue Fairy smiled, looking over the group of girls...they looked so confused, lost...some of them more-so than others. She saw the hunger for adventure in a few of their eyes...not all were frightened by this change in their lives. "Please, ladies. Do not fear us, for we mean you no harm." she told them, looking to Esmeralda. She offered the gypsy a warm smile before turning to Kida, who had seemingly taken it upon herself to demand the reasoning for their presense there. "All shall be explained to you, dear one. Your men could not accept this mission, as this would be expected of them. We needed someone who the Dark Forces would not be expecting." She paused, looking around the group, realizing something. They all came from different worlds, with different native tongues. Not all of them would be able to understand the others. Clicking her tongue softly in thought, she raised her wand, and a warm glow fell over the girls. There, now they would be able to hear and speak one common tongue. And now to continue...

"Each of you has found a happy ever after, whether it be true love, or self respect, or perhaps even the satisfaction of completing a previous adventure. But there are those gathering now who wish to unravel these happy endings...apart, they were defeated. Now that they have banded together, it might not be as easy." Pausing again, she folded her hands together, looking down. "The Dark Forces are those you are well aquainted to...for they are those who tried to unravel your lives from the beginning. Unfortunately, Princess Aurora, it is your very own villian who is leading this force."

This didn't sound good...not good at all. Giselle squeezed her eyes shut, remembering all too well her final encounter with Narissa. Would that have to happen, all over again? And what if this time, it happened differently...? What if Robert...

She covered her eyes with a hand, feeling faint, but as she opened them again blearily, she realized something. Pulling her hand back in shock, she stared at it. She...she wasn't...real anymore. Was this place part of Andalasia? No, no...she said NEVERLAND. And that place sounded familiar, from Morgan's storybooks. But perhaps it had the same properties of Andalasia...all of the talk of 'happily ever afters' certainly made it seem that way. Timidly, she dared to ask, "But what are we supposed to do to stop them?" It was a man's job to protect the damsel in most cases, and while it hadn't been so for her ALL the time, it was usually...

"I am glad you asked." said the Blue Fairy with a smile.

"We have decided to give you the powers of the protectors. Once upon a time, long ago, the stars aligned just right, and the Fantasysphere was created from the power of these celestial bodies. Each star represented it's own element, and for a long time, they acted as guardians to the Fantasysphere, never allowing evil to enter any of the worlds it contained. They were called the protectors, and for many years they guarded the sphere well. While they were in power, the worlds mingled together as one, and the Fantasysphere was one nation, and all was well. But one fateful day, an evil fairy attacked, disaligning the stars, and therefore breaking the barrier that kept the darkness from entering. The worlds were unlinked from eachother, and evil plagued them all. And that is how it still is today, unfortunately." She paused, sighing deeply at the very thought.

"But there is hope, dears." "Oh yes, lots of hope." "Well, out with it, then."

The fae laughed, glad for her excited friend who always seemed to break the silence. "Yes, well." Nodding, she began again. "We have decided to give you the power of the protectors, the very stars who created the worlds in which we live. With their power, surely you can come together as they did and protect the worlds, and perhaps even bring them together and reunite as one."

Jasmine had been listening intently to the story, though she couldn't say she wasn't unsure about it all. "And you really think we can do that? We're just a bunch of girls!"

The Blue Fairy smiled at the arabian princess. "I know you can, my dear. So long as you work together as you should, you all can save the Fantasysphere from terrible destruction."

[Pocahontas]

Pocahontas had been off in the forest with Nakoma and of course Flit and Meeko, hunting small animals with bows and arrows,despite the small disagreements between her father, Powhatan, John and Nakoma's husband and Pocahontas and her friend about their hunting as they were female. Then suddenly, just as she had a rabbit in her sights, a bright flash of light invaded her line of vision which made her close her eyes and call for her friend in the lanuage of their people, "Nakoma, where are you?" She heard her friend's voice reply in the distance but couldn't make out the words. When she opened her eyes, the light had faded and she found herself in a wide open space with many other girls and women, some of whom who looked confused and scared.Pocahontas herself did feel some fear but pushed it down deep inside her. There were several girls from lands Pocahontas did not know of, but one had an English accent, yet this English girl was dressed in a very strange style that Pocahontas hadn't seen on her visit to London or since, that was plain. Some looked like they were from lands far away with different looks, as evident by the appearance of the woman wearing royal robes that were decorated strangely to the native princess and had white hair, whom a purple creature stood beside that Pocahontas knew neither the name nor breed of. Hearing the strange speech, lanuages and accents of all the people around her, she realized she was somewhere completely new and unknown to her. Then a woman with wings-wings, what was that about? Were these winged beings magical creatures like her dear Grandmother Willow?-spoke up and suddenly she could understand all the other people here. But she still had questions, many questions, what was neverland?, Why did they have to be the ones chosen to defeat this evil?, fight villians from their pasts? Did that mean she'd have to face Ratcliffe for a THIRD time? What did all this cryptic talk of 'protectors' and 'powers' mean? Were these magical beings going to turn these girls and women into shamen like Kekata? Deciding to lower her weapons and listen to the women who seemed as wise as Grandmother Willow, she lowered her head in deference to the creature who'd said she was the queen of the faires. Then she put her arrow back into her quvier, and set down her bow quietly as benfitted a native raised in the house of Powhatan. Then she smiled while giving the traditonal greeting of her people both verbally and physically, moving her hand in a circle to the left, "Wingapo. 'Wingapo' means 'Hello' in my native language." She hoped that her translation made it easier to understand her greeting.
