EVANGELINE

I had used a teleportation spell to teleport me to the train station. I immediately began to feel the effects of the spell. I swear, one of these days, this spell is going to kill me just for being lazy.

I walked up to the ticket booth, which said closed due to train derailment. I began walking towards the exit; however the conversation between two travelers caught my attention.

"Those Fairy Tale Wizards always make such a mess," said one woman with a very, well, different hairstyle. It was orange, frizzy and piled high. She was... how do I put it nicely? HUGE AS A FRICKEN HOUSE!

"You said it. They do more harm than good," Agreed the other lady with so much makeup on, she would rival a clown, and blue hair that was pulled into a beehive style.

I scoffed at them. "Stupid broads probably don't realize that it's best to have small casual damages than to have mass destruction."

I glared at the ground until I noticed two shadows looming over me.

"Oh I said that out loud," I said while I rubbed my head sheepishly and backed away slowly.

"You brat!" screamed the fat lady as she dashed for me. I quickly maneuvered around her and drop and rolled to get away from the other one. I laughed as I really took a look at her. She was the doppelganger to a horse experiment went wrong. Both women came dashing to me. I saluted to them, as I cast another teleportation spell.

I found myself in a tree near the station.

I watched as the two ladies bickered as to where I went.

"Dumb broads," I said.

Suddenly, my vision doubled, and my heart pulsed hard.

I really shouldn't be using that spell twice in such a short time.

"The train station's closed. I guess I should get walking if I don't want any run-ins with Lucy again," I said to myself as I hopped out of the tree, and began to walk back into Magnolia.

*Splash*

A cold liquid dropped on the tip of my round nose.

I looked up, and began to curse the sky. Not a speck of blue was in sight, and the rain looked like it wasn't about to let up anytime soon.

"Now how in Fiore am I supposed to get to Clover when the train is derailed and the fricking sky is spitting on me?" I yelled in no one particular. And I can't use the teleportation spell again, or I'll die of magic exhaustion. "I guess I'll be staying the night in Magnolia."

I held my right palm up and whispered, "Water Manipulation." Suddenly, the rain drops that had already collected onto my skin and clothing began to move to my palm, and take the form of an umbrella.

It's pretty paradoxical isn't it? Using rain to block the rain. A small smile began to form on my face, as I recalled the Rain-woman. "Drip Drip Drop Drop," I said before bursting out into laughter. The townsfolk looked at me like I had a screw loose. To be honest, I do have a few loose.

"People think it's Absolut

Colarossi some say

Other believe it's Hennessy

Mixed with a dash of Chardonnay"

I said as I quoted my own poetry.

THE NEXT DAY

LUCY

I stood outside of the Takabana Farm, waiting for Freed.

I tapped my foot impatiently. I was out here for a whole half an hour now!

"Where is he?" I groaned out loud.

"I'm right behind you."

"OH CRAP!" I screamed as I nearly jumped out of my skin.

"Shall we get going?" he asked as he walked off while chuckling; whereas, I was having a mini heart attack.

'I'm so gonna kill this enchanter. Just you watch.'

I followed him into the farm. The owner, Mrs. Takabana, told us that we had to dig holes and plant trees, which would be a quite simple task, if it weren't for monsters attacking the orchard.

Freed assured her that there was nothing to worry about, that this would be a simple task for us Fairytale wizards, but I had a strange feeling about this. A feeling that something bad was going to happen.
