         Lilac came to the entrance gate of Fate. ''Hello old friend. It's nice to see you again.'' Lilac opened the gate and walked in. As she walked into Fate she saw fairies in a hurry flying towards a bank that was being robbed by demons.''Wow! A big fight is about to happen, I doubt that the fairies are going to lose, so I'm just gonna go earn some money to get an apartment. Who knows maybe I'll see Mae on the way.'' Mae was Lilac's best friend before they both died and are still friends after death. Mae and Lilac died at the same time with each other, but Lilac and Mae got split up because Mae went to the Overworld, and Lilac went down to the Underworld.


        Lilac started walking down a street, helping anyone and earning money. After about an hour of walking, Lilac sees Mae's short haircut and blue wings across the street fighting a demon. Lilac waited till Mae had won the fight to talk to her.


         ''Hey! Hey! Mae, how's it going?'' Lilac yelled across the street.

         ''Hey! Lilac great to see you! It's going pretty good just fighting some demons.  Hey, there is some big news going around the Overworld, come over here and I will tell you what it is.'' Mae said yelling across the street too.

         Lilac ran across the street hoping not to get hit by someone speeding down the street in a rush. Lilac reached the other side of the street. She hugged Mae. ''So Mae, what's going on in the Overworld?'' Lilac asked curiously

         ''Well, so evidently they made a mistake!'' Mae said while stretching out her muscles.

         ''Who made a mistake Mae!'' Lilac was a bit confused.

         ''I don't know what they are called, but the ones that decide who goes to the Overworld and the Underworld, they made a mistake!''

         ''What was the mistake that they made!?'' Lilac said now shaking Mae vigorously.

         ''Well, I only heard this from another fairy, works under the Overworld's boss, but they evidently the ones that decide where to put the dead humans, they made a mistake and put someone in the wrong place. The fairy that I got this from told me that someone was supposed to be put in the Overworld.'' Mae paused to mess with her friend because Lilac was getting too into the news.

         ''What? What tell me the rest of the news Mae!'' Lilac said about to slap Mae for stopping

         ''Ok! Sheesh! Don't be so harsh. They were gonna be put in the Overworld but got put into the Underworld.'' Mae could see Lilac getting more intrigued.

         ''So what are they gonna do about the mistake?''

         ''Well so I heard is that they are hunting down the mistake so they can correct it.'' Mae looked passed Lilac and saw a demon about to rob a little old lady.

         ''Mae, do yo-'' Mae ran to go help the lady getting robbed. Lilac decided to continue on her search for a job. She yelled goodbye to Mae who was down the street, then continued walking down the street.

         While Lilac was walking she couldn't get the idea of the mistake might being her out of her mind. ''If I am the mistake it would explain a lot, like why I can't use any of the demon weapons, only demons can use the weapons.'' fairies use magic and fairy weapons that are made with a gem on their wings. Lilac had walked for so long that it had become dark. ''Hmm, I guess I will just stop by Mae's condo to spend the night and I will continue looking for a job in the morning.'' Lilac walked to Mae's place, knocked on the door and waited. It was around 11: 45 so it Mae a little bit to get to the door, but she did. Mae answered the door but didn't unlock the chain lock so Mae stood in the door way and yawned.

         ''Lilac it's late, whats up?'' Mae yawned again

         ''Well.'' Lilac's voice got higher. ''I need a place to st-'' She got interrupted by Mae closing the door, unlocked the chain lock, opened the door to let her in the condo.

         Mae stood to the side and gestured Lilac inside. ''Did you really have to ask. Get in here you scrub!'' Mae laughed, Lilac waked in and shut the door behind herself. '' You do this every time you get to come up to Fate I should just let you rent the spare room.'' Mae laughed again.

         ''You know that would be a lot easier, can you do that?'' Lilac said snickering a little.

         ''I don't see any reason why not, i'll go get you a key tomorrow. But for now, I'm going to bed.'' Mae yawned again. '' Goodnight Li.''

         ''Thanks, Mae, night.'' Lilac said as Mae turned around and went to her room. Lilac opened the door to her new room and looked around it. The room had light blue paint on the walls, the bed was queen sized with a paint splattered bed set. Lilac went in and put her bags on the floor by the bathroom door. Lilac looked around the room, searching for the TV remote that for the TV hanging on the wall. She had found the remote and turned on some cartoons and went to go take a shower. Lilac got out of the shower and put on some sleepwear, the shower made her feel the cleanest that she had been since she had died. Lilac got herself bowl of cereal and went back to her room. She sat on the bed and began watching what was on TV, instead of the cartoons that she had put on, Fairy News was on. Fairy News is a news channel that shows only on a TV in a household with a fairy living in it. Lilac got interested in what the fairy anchors were saying.

         "Well, Bob turns out what everyone has heard is in fact true the Placers, the people that decide where the dead goes, they have made a mistake.'' The female anchor said then waited for the other anchor Bob to continue the news.

         ''Yes, Linda they did make a mistake, the mistake of putting someone in the wrong after death world. We now have some new information on who the mistake in the system is.'' Bob stopped and took a sip of his coffee so Linda took over.

         ''Yes, we now have information that the mistake is a female who died about two to three months ago. The fairy government is now trying to find that mistake and put her in the correct place but the fairy government haven't had and cooperation with Satan. And now to Craig with the weather.'' The camera now shows a man standing in front of a big map.

         ''Thanks Linda, the we-'' Lilac turns off the TV, put the empty bowl on the side table, turns off the lights and goes to bed.

         Lilac wakes up in the middle of the night with a stabbing pain in her back, but this pain wasn't anything that she hadn't felt before, so she just took a painkiller she then looked in the mirror and told herself to go to the fairy government tomorrow. Lilac then went back to bed.
