Sirge’s fingers tapped on the computer. He had walk a fair distance to get to the library and had to wait half an hour before it opened which had become very inconvenient. When it had finally open Sirge settled himself down at a computer and opened up the internet.

“Sapp-hire brown… con-spir-a-cy” Sirge mumbled as he typed to words. The loading bar appeared on the old computer as he waited for the search results. He clicked on the first website. In bold letter the website read; Sapphire Brown, murder or murderee? Sirge scrolled down reading the words, shocked. Once he reached the end he shut down the computer and dashed out of the library.

“I might take you up on you offer” he muttered as he walked into the cold foggy morning.

Lina was out in the paddock the fairies still bugging her to go find Sirge in a constant whispering.

“go find Sirge, he needs you and you need him, go find Sirge...” It was on a loop, the tone never changing. It was like a song you hated getting stuck in your head, on a loop. It was frustrating Lina to have the little fairies flying around her head like mosquitoes she wanted to whack the and for them to be gone. Furthermore no one else could see or hear them so if she did start asking them to stop people nearby would look at her strangely.

“Oh just leave me alone!” she whispered harshly and loudly. A stable hand looked over at her his eyebrows raised.

“Shoo Gallop” Lina quickly recovered noticing the stable hand. The stable hand went back to work rounding up the horses and Lina let out a sigh.

It had been a long day and it was only the early afternoon. With the fairies on a loop she had said a few things which she was embarrassed by. Like to Hailey she had said

“Be quiet I can’t hear a thing” Hailey had raised her eyebrow and said

“But he does listen to me I want to tell him I like him!” she had stormed off after that and Lina hadn’t heard a word from her since. It was just not her day.

The fairy loop stopped the chanting faltered and they started whispering

“Well at least one of you have some sense.” A new loop began this one more annoying. “Go to him, he is waiting, go to him…”

“I give up!” Lina screaked and stormed off to the front desk to sign out and find Sirge hoping to rid herself of the fairies. The fairies followed behind her in a long line like a trail.

She signed out and started marching towards town heading towards Sirge’s flat, when she stopped. There he was, standing in front of her. He was wearing a long black coat and jeans underneath.

“Still wearing my jeans?” he said raising his eyebrows. She looked down at herself to see that she hadn’t changed out of his jeans but at least she was wearing Hailey’s top which said HEART DEATH. It was pink with black patterns on it.

“Well you still-” she stopped noticing that the hair she was about to comment on was different again; Still short and shaggy but not curly. “Hey, what happened to your hair?”

“Have you heard of a thing called a glamor? This is my real hair,” he said running his fingers though it “before I had to make sure I wasn’t running into trouble, but you did that for us didn’t you?”
