Lukie the Water Fairy

Lukie waited to see who was coming out of the well.  "Hey, I'm glad you didn't go far, I really don't like it up here," said Mukie as he stepped out of the well and flew right up to Lukie.  "What do you want now?" he asked   "Lukie, its dark, we need to go back.  Our sparkles and lights will be seen miles away." explained to his friend as he flew next to him grabbing him by the arm. "Hurry let's go before we are seen by those mean giants." whispered Mukie   "You go, I'm staying here.  I love looking at all those stars." said  Lukie as he floated down on the grass and laid back admiring the star-filled dark sky.

"Well, it's your funnel, I'm going home," said Mukie as he flew away and down the well, heading home, where he knew he was safe.  "Ya, whatever. It's nice out here." Lukie replied as he stared up at the sky.

A couple of minutes went by, and Lukie somehow fell asleep.  As he snored away, his wings lite up, change to beautiful bright colors.   The was a road close by and from a distance a passerby, spotted the beautiful soft bright lights.  "Shit, that looks like a UFO.  There only one way to find out." said, Mark, as he turned the wheel left and heading towards the bright lights.

Lukie was still fast asleep, snoring his dreams away.  Mark parked his truck close by and began to walk through the hay field.  As he got closer, the lights became brighter.    Then he spotted an object on the floor, from a distance.  He ran back to the truck and quickly look for an empty jar.  "I'm sure it fits in here.  Whatever it is it's very bright.  This is going to make me rich. No more farming for family and I." said, Mark, as he quickly headed back to the bright lights quietly, making sure he didn't make a sound.  Then he quickly placed the jar on the object and placed the lid underneath and scooped the bright lights into a preserve jar.

The moment Mark scoop, Lukie up, then locking him in the jar.  Lukie opened his eyes.  "Hey, what happening?" he said as the jar shook, and Mark places it close to his eyes to take a closer look at what he found.  The fairy was laying at the bottom of the jar.  When he saw the close up of Mark's eyeball.  "Oh, no I fell asleep.  I've been jarred. No! I should have listened to Mukie. Let me not move, he might think I'm not real." he said as his bright lights went right out.

"What is this? It looks like a tiny kid with wings.  Oh, no, its lights went out.  No, you can die on me.  You are going to make me rich.  I need to make holes in the lid quickly.  The poor thing needs to breathe." said Mark as he quickly ran into the truck and with his knife began to make stabs on the lid, to let in air.  Lukie still didn't move, although when he saw the knife's blade coming into the jar towards him, it made him very afraid.  But he didn't move. He has been jarred, and now his life was in danger.

"Ok, buddy, It looks like you're dead, or sleeping.  Whatever the case, I'll make money anyway.  Let's go home." he muttered as he placed the jar on the car floor and drove directly home.  Mark ran into the house excited, with his find.  "Hey, honey dinner's your dinner is on the stove." said his wife Tara.  "Where is Thin?" he asked  "Oh, he did get here a bit late, but he ate his dinner and I sure he should be asleep. Something that I'm about to do.  Good night, I'll see you in the morning." she replied with a smile, kissed him on the cheek then went on her way. 

When his wife was gone, he quickly took out the jar from his tool bag.   "I'll hind you in my office, no ones allowed in there but me," he whispered   He locked the door behind him and sat the jat down on the table.   "Let me see," said Mark as he grabbed a large magnifying glass  "I need to see every detail of my findings.  Then I'll check my reference book, I'm sure I can find out what it is in there." he muttered as he grabbed a large book off the shelf. Then he glanced into the jar with his magnifying glass.  "I knew it.  It is a tiny man," he whispered   When suddenly the office door flew open.  Lukie gave his winds a quick blink but didn't move.    "Hey, dad, what's that a little man?" asked Thin as he walked in without knocking.  "Aren't you suppose to be sleeping?" said Mark as he walked up to his son blocking the jar with his body.

Lukie quickly recognizes his voice.  "That's the boy that bullies Tomas around, I must get his attention." he thought.   Mark pushed his son out the door, but somehow he saw the jar glow.  "Wow, dad, what's in the jar?" he said as he pointed and his father finished pushing him out the room and locking the door behind him.

Thin began to knock on the door, "Knock, knock,"  "Dad, please, that looked cool.  What's in the jar, a tiny alien?" asked Thin as he continued to knock.  Mark didn't open the door, he screamed," You have two minutes to get back in bed, or I'm going to interduce you to my belt.  Then the knocking stopped and everything was silent again.

"I know what I saw, you have to go to sleep sometime, dad and of course I'll be waiting." said to himself as he went back to his bedroom leaving his bedroom door open.  His father always closes his bedroom door before heading to his bed.  So it was just perfect for him.

Meanwhile, Tomas, was happy his day turned out good after all.  He kept thinking about Lukie, and hoping to see him again, he went to bed early that night.    Mark found out that Lukie was a water fairy.  Something that's not supposed to be real, but it was.  "My goodness, I scared to open the lid.  It's safer if I leave it close.  The museum will pay millions for this, I'm finally going to be rich.  Hey there, don't know if you can hear me, but thanks for coming in my path.  I'm going to be very rich.  I'm going to leave you, but I'll come back first thing in the morning." he muttered as he stared at Lukie, then placed him back on the table, and cover the jar with a cloth.  "See you in the morning," he said as he locked his office door, and headed to his bedroom to sleep.   "Today, I will sleep with a smile, cause tomorrow I'll be floating in money," said Mark as he got into bed and quickly was out cold.
