The Fantastical Shop of Lifelike Wonders

"A fairy godmother, yes."

"How... what..."

"You wished on me when I was in a hurry to Beatrice's party. You know she throws the finest shindigs and I had to kiss ass for months to get an invite. Now, you yank me down from my flight. What is it that you want?"

I shook my head, confused. "Come inside. You must need to sit down or have a drink after that...fall?"

"Well...I could use a sangria or two."

I turned to lead her inside and nearly tripped over a massive snapping turtle. "Leo!" I cursed. I could always tell the turtles apart by the different colors on their necks.

He stared at me and munched on the dropped bread.

The fairy studied him, and he lifted his head, staring back at her.

She snorted. "Clever, motherfucker aren't you, turtle?" she said the last word strangely with her eyebrows raising and falling quickly.

"Did you hit your head on the way down?" I said to her.

"No, my hair cushioned my fall. I'm quite fine. Let's get that drink and your wish over with so I can make the party."
