The Adventures of Melany Frizz and Other Magical MISadventures
Prologue
I got into my old Chevy and drove to the new children’s bookstore on the corner of Broadway. A cute little place it was, how small it looked on the outside but how large it was on the inside. I parked and walked in, and sat in my usual rocking chair in the corner of the shop for the reading time for the little five year old girls. It got more crowded as time passed. The floor was now crowded with five year old girls, all staring up at me with their big, sparkling eyes, waiting and eager to hear my story. I cleared my throat and began.
CH 1: Fairie
I hurried down the hallway, clutching my backpack straps. I couldn’t let anyone see my like this. See, I am a fairy. Long story short- I used to live in Fairie with other fairies, pixies, and other magical such. You think that isn’t true- but it is. My mother was a pixie and my father was a pixie also, but my best friend, Whiteney, is a fairy like me. By the way- my name is Melany. Other people I know are gnomes, etc. So anyway, about my long story short- I used to live Fairie but my parents wanted my brother and me to be normal like humans (which are so odd- they can’t fly! I feel so bad for them) so we moved here to New York City.
New York is a LOT different than Fairie- no unicorns, no magical mushrooms. Just blinking lights and tall buildings here. I looked down at my watch. I had one hour left until my transformation. I got to my locker, opened it, and grabbed my books. The bell rang for us to go home. I ran down the hallway to see people staring at me. I carefully sniffed under my arm. I didn’t smell bad. I looked behind me to see sparkles behind me.
Shoot I thought, my fairy dust was leaking. I forced a smile on my face and headed home.
CH 2: Transformation
I unlocked the door just in time. I put down my bag and looked around our regular house. This was so boring. I pulled the switch under our lamp and opened the secret door into our fairy house, an exact replica of what it looked like back in Fairie. I smelled the sweet scent of boiling mushroom as I walked in.
“How was your first day at human school, honey,” my mother called.
“Fine,” I replied. I went to my room. I found my Pixie Power 2000 Computer and IM-ed my best friend Whiteney.
Melanymelons: HEY WHITENEY!!
Mount_Whiteney: OMG HEY MELANY!!!
Melanymelons: lol what have u been doin?
Mount_Whiteney: Evan has been sulking lol
Evan was a nerdy guy fairy who was Whiteney’s brother. He also liked me. I hated him.
Melanymelons: rrrrr
Mount_Whiteney: lol
Melanymelons: so hows it goin w/ u and Jake?
Mount_Whiteney: cute as ever!! :D
Melanymelons: gtg transformation!!
Mount_Whiteney: me 2 cya
Melanymelons: cya
Mount_Whiteney has signed off at 3:30:21
Melonymelons has signed off at 3:30:31
I closed the laptop and got ready for my transformation. Suddenly, my blue wings popped out of my back. My regular clothes turned into my fairy dress. My golden blonde hair was rolled into a bun with sparkly clips. My wand was in my hand and my shoes were my dance shoes, black and new. They quickly turned into my silver ballet flat shoes.
I flew into my dining room, it was brown on the walls, but it was the hearth. It smelled of sweet dew on a spring day. There were pictures of my brother and me when we were in Fairie, smiling and laughing at the beach and with friends. I flew to the table and sat down. A second later, my mom flew in and put down dinner. Luckily, pixies were awesome at cooking. My mother sat down, followed by my father. My brother slugged into our dining room and sat down, listening to his Faipod.
“Honey, put down your Faipod and join us to eat dinner,” my mother said. My brother was too busy rocking his head and stamping and singing to the beat that he couldn’t hear my mother.
“HONEY PUT THE FAIPOD DOWN!!!!!!!” My mother started screaming. She snatched it out of his hands and threw it across the table. My father caught it and put it into his pocket. “HEYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!! WHY THE beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep DID YOU DO THAT FOR??!!!” My mother, father, and brother all started screaming to each other. I took my dinner up to my room and ate it there. I could still hear them screaming though.
I need some sort of peaceful manner power thing to make them be quiet I thought. I sat down on my bed, to find that I was lying down. I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.
CH 3: Aaron
I woke up to find my wings, wand, and other magical such gone. My transformation had worn off. I got dressed in my favorite outfit- my Fairiecrombie skinny jeans and my tight orange top with a little sparkles on it.
Now I have something to shimmy I thought. I grabbed my backpack and slung it over my shoulder. I made sure my fairy dust didn’t have a hole in it. I walked down the stairs and looked around. Everyone had already left. I grabbed my EnV 3 from Farizon and walked out of our replica house. I walked into our “human” house-how boring- and I grabbed my bike. I walked it outside and rode it to school. When I got to school, a boy was locking his bike up to the rack. I walked my bike right next to him and locked my bike also.
“Hey,” he said, without looking up.
“Hey,” I replied. I locked my bike faster than him. I looked him over. Light brownish blondish hair with some red highlights, dark skinny jeans, and a black shirt. He finished locking his bike and got up.
“I’m Aaron,” he said, wiping his hands on his pants and held his hand to mine. “Melany,” I said, shaking his hand.
“You new here? I haven’t seen you around.”
“Yeah.”
“Can I show you around?”
“Sure! I would love that!”
I showed him my schedule and he showed me his.
“We have the exact same schedule,” Aaron said.
“Awesome!”
“Cool,” I agreed. We walked side by side to our classes. Lots of the girls were only paying attention to Aaron, watching him with googly eyes. “Hiii Aaron!!!!!!” one girl said, her eyes staring at him. Aaron backed a way a little. One girl though, looked at me, enviously. Her arms were crossed and her hair looked like it was just permed. Her hair was pitch black, and she was wearing tight everything.
“Aar-on,” she said, sounding furious, “who is this,” she said, pointing to me. She looked disgusted.
“This is Melany; we have all of the same classes.”
“Oh,” she said, still disgusted. “Well, I’ll see you around.”
She gave one last dirty look at me and walked away. She snapped her fingers and two girls followed her. Her drones I thought.
“Who the hell was that?”
“She’s Laren, don’t listen to her. She’s a total bitch,” Aaron said, laughing. I laughed along with him. We got to room 507 for English. “Here we are,” he said. We walked into the classroom and sat down.
“Hello class, my name is Mr. Cam and welcome to English 7. In this room of learning, we will be learning about proper grammar, how to write a proper business letter, and many more exciting things. So let’s get started! I will start by taking roll. Please reply with ‘Here’ if you are here. Don’t say anything if you aren’t.” No one laughed at Mr. Cam’s attempt with lame humor. Mr. Cam started taking roll. I was utterly bored. I already knew everything that Mr. Cam was talking about, courtesy of Fairie School back home. Pixies took education very seriously, and so they had their fairies learn everything up to college level. I looked to my right to find a small girl with bright orange hair that was tied up in a high ponytail and she was wearing black pants and a white shirt. She was staring at the clock with her bright blue eyes, wishing that the clock would go faster. Since I was utterly bored, I tapped the redhead on her shoulder. Her bright red hair reminded me of something-someone- but I couldn’t put my finger on it.
“This is so boring,” I whispered. The redhead’s head whipped around, like I had broke her out of a trance.
“Oh, uh, yeah. This is going by so slowly. I want it to be lunch so I can go outside and play soccer,” the redhead said, a little too loud. Mr. Cam didn’t notice.
“Hi, I’m Melany,” I said to the redhead.
“Emily,” she said in a sing song voice.
“Do you want to sit with me and Aaron at lunch?”
“Sure!”
Apparently, everyone knew Aaron.
“Wait, EHMAGAWD YOU’RE FRIENDS WITH THEE AARON ABELEY?!”
“Is there a problem girls,” Mr. Cam said.
“No!” we both said at the same time.
Mr. Cam went back to calling roll.
“Well, yeah, he’s really nice. What’s so cool about him?”
“Come closer,” she said, beckoning me so move closer to her. I did.
“Rumor has it, Laren LOVES him. She gets way pissed if any girl is around him, even his sisters. She says:
‘Don’t even try. He’s mine. Even if he doesn’t know it, he loves me and if you even take ONE more step closer to Aaron, I will shred you to pieces. Now, goodbye, loser. Come on girls.’ Trust me, been there, done that. So, yeah, if you’re friends with Aaron Abeley and you aren’t little shreds yet, word will get around school that you defeated ‘The Evil Laren’ and that you and Aaron and bf and gf.”
“But we’re just friends… and she looked really mad when I and Aaron were walking down the hallway together…”
“Put 2 and 2 together honey, and you get one pissed off Laren.”
CH 4: Secret Telling
I walked into our replica home after school.
“Hey Mom,” I called out, “do you think it would be okay if I told Aaron our secret?”
Aaron had now come over a lot and my mom really liked him and his mom. We were best friends now.
“Well honey, I’m not sure. This is a very big secret. If he goes screaming off into the distance when you tell him, we will be exposed to humans. Then all of the fairies, pixies, etc. will have to go into hiding.”
“But I know he won’t do that, he’s my best friend. He’s really good at keeping secrets and everything. I think-I know- that our secret is safe with Aaron. He wouldn’t tell anyone, not his family, not even his wittle teddy bear if he has one. Please Mom? Please?” My mother sighed.
“If you are so sure, then, okay.” My mother sighed in defeat.
“Yes!!”
Now, the only way he would believe me if he saw me transform. I looked at my watch. One hour. I had to IM him.
Melanymelons: Aaron? U there?
Aaron_ache: ya
Melanymelons: can u keep a secret? A really, really big secret? A LIFE OR DEATH secret?
Aaron_ache: yes, Melany.
Melanymelons: ok. Come over to my house in exactly 55 minutes.
Aaron_ache: y?
Melanymelons: just do it
Aaron_ache: kk
Melanymelons: cya
Aaron_ache: cya
Melanymelons has logged out at 3:30:09
Aaron_ache has logged out at 3:31:00
I sighed. I would also have to show him our replica house. Just great. I started getting ready for Aaron’s arrival.
CH 5: Life or Death Secret
This couldn’t be happening. How could I do this?! I am such an idiot!! Here I am, being naive, thinking that if I told Aaron our secret that nothing would happen. Now its 4:15, 10 minutes before Aaron was supposed to come. I hit myself on the head 5 times while thinking, idiot idiot idiot IDIOT!
How could I be doing this?! STOP IT!!!!!!!!! I screamed in my head.
“Just get the human house looking good. Then you will open up the secret passageway into the replica. Then we go into my room, transformation, dinner, and then he will go home.” Unless he runs out, screaming, when he sees me transform. I thought smugly.
I looked at the clock. 4:20. 5 minutes. I panicked. I walked into the human house and cleaned it. I sighed. Any minute now. The doorbell rung. “Coming,” my mother called. “Oh hi Jennete! I was just expecting you! Here is your order. I hope it fits,” said my mother. I breathed a sigh of relief.
Just my mother’s human friend, getting her “Sparkle Clothing”. It was my mother’s human job. People looked at the “Sparkle Clothing” catalog, found something they liked, and ordered it. The sparkles on the clothing were really fairy dust. Tee hee!
HOW CAN YOU BE SAYING ‘TEE HEE!’ WHEN AARON IS ABOUT TO COME!!!! I thought. I started panicking again. I am SUCH a worrywart.
My enV 3 started ringing.
“Cuz you’re hot and you’re cold! You’re yes and you’re no,” my cell phone rang. I smiled. Best song ever! I answered. I heard Aaron on the phone. He didn’t sound good.
“*cough cough* Hey Melany *cough* I kinda got the *cough* *sneeze* flu from my sister. I *sneeze* can’t *cough* come to your house *cough cough*. I’m really sorry. I can * cough cough* come over *cough cough* *sneeze* when I get better. *cough cough* this should only be *sneeze* a 24 hour virus. *cough cough* I’ll see you tomorrow,” Aaron said.
“Oh,” I said, “that’s fine. I’ll see you at school tomorrow.”
“*cough cough* IM me? *cough*”
“Kay. Hope you feel better.”
***************
Meanwhile, Aaron was coughing.
I feel so bad he thought.
Melany wanted to tell me a really important secret. I wonder what it was. I hope she forgives me. I hope she still tells me. I think I should go get some cheese. Cheese would be good right now. Cheese always makes me feel bett- Aaron’s mom yelled to him, breaking him out of his cheese fantasy.
“Aaron honey, I know you’re bummed, but can you please run to the store and get some milk and eggs? I really need some,” Aaron’s mom called.
“Sure,” Aaron called back. He walked out of his blue room. Aaron’s room was a heaven for all guys. He had a big screen TV with a Tii game system and all the video games you could ever want. His Ewac computer was the latest in technology, and his bed was a water bed with real fish inside. Aaron walked into the living room, which was very modern. He grabbed his bike and headed out the door. As he rode past Melany’s house, something glittery caught his eye. Aaron stopped and peered up.
***************
I was mad, sad, and happy at all of the same time. Aaron would come back, after all, but he was supposed to come today. I sighed. I glanced at the clock. Any minute now.
Just then, my wings popped out, blue and glittery. My pink fairy dress was already on me, my golden hair in a bun with sparkly clips. My favorite silver ballet flats were on. Perfection! I peered out of my window.
That’s strange… I thought. Aaron’s bike…. I gasped. AARON’S BIKE!! HE SAW ME!! I ran downstairs.
“MOM!”
“What is it honey? There’s no need to scream!”
“IT’S AARON!”
“Honey, I know, he didn’t come. It was too bad he was si-“ I cut my mom off.
“COME LOOK!!” I grabbed her hand and pulled her to my room and to my window. She looked out and saw Aaron’s bike.
“Oh my,” my mother said, out of breath.
“JOHN!!!!! LOCKDOWN!! FAMILY MEETING!!!!!”
My mother and I rushed into the basement of our replica house.
“Okay, Aaron’s bike was outside Melany’s window, which means he saw Melany transform.”
My brother’s mouth dropped down.
“Good going, Melany,” my brother said sarcastically. My father gave him a stern look and continued.
“This means we all need to STAY CALM! And stay in our replica house. If he comes to the door of our human house, of which he only knows of, he doesn’t know about the replica, then if he comes to the door, NO ONE I REPEAT !NO ONE! WILL ANSWER THE DOOR!!! KAPEESH?”
“Kapeesh,” we all replied. As if on cue, the door bell rang, coming from our human house. Aaron started knocking and talking.
“Melany, I know you’re in here, and I wanted to say I’m sorry. Also, I saw the weirdest thing. Right next to your house, I saw this thing. It was all glittery, with blue wings- maybe I’m just imagining things. *cough cough* *sneeze* Well, I have to *cough* get some eggs. See you tomorrow. *cough cough*”
As soon as his footsteps faded, we came out of the basement. All of the sudden, we heard crashing.
“OWWWWWWWW,” Aaron screamed from the ground. By the time we got there, Aaron was unconscious, lying on the ground with a major gash in his head, which was bleeding, his bike 5 feet away.
***************
“Aaron?? Aaron? Can you hear me Aaron,” I said, shaking Aaron. He still wouldn’t wake up. I saw a few flashes-what was that? I rubbed my eyes clear of the spots.
“I’ll take him home,” I said. I picked up Aaron (super strength) and his bike and flew him to his house. He was all cleaned up thanks to our healing powers-but something was wrong with the gash. It peeled right off. Probably just the healing powers-or he knew some thing I didn’t. How could he know something I didn’t??
We got to his house and I finally got him to wake up.
“Thank goodness you’re awake! You’ve been unconscious for over an hour,” I said. Aaron rubbed his eyes and yawned.
“What happened?”
“You fell down the stairs.”
“Oh.” I saw another flash.
“Is it just me or am I seeing flashes?” Aaron looked at me like I was a freak.
“Uh….no….It’s just you Melany…..” Aaron stepped back.
“Well cya later.”
“Cya” Aaron opened his door and went inside. I flew back to my house, the mysterious flashes still coming. I flew up to my room and went through the window. There was an IM waiting for me.
Mount_Whiteney: HEY!!!
Melanymelons:hi!!!
Mount_Whiteney: LTNIM
Melanymelons: ??
Mount_Whiteney: Long Time No IM!
Melanymelons:o lol
Mount_Whiteney: it has been so boring w/o u! Apparently theres this guy in alg. And he was crushin on u………J
Melanymelons: who? :o
Mount_Whiteney: “the evil david y.”
Melanymelons: r u kidding me??? I HATE HIM!!!
Mount_Whiteney: apparently he doesn’t hate u……. J
Melanymelons: he’s this <:p fyi that’s a stupid person stickin out his tounge with a dunce hat J
Mount_Whiteney: he’s been talking to himself…….something about getting revenge….
Revenge? Not good. He couldn’t possibly come here-or could he? Another IM popped up.
The_Y_anator: Hey sweet thang J
Who was The_Y_anator….I typed to Whiteney
Melanymelons: Do u no any1 whos sn is The_Y_anator?
Mount_Whiteney is typing
Mount_Whiteney: OMG THAT’S THE EVIL DAVID Y!!
I screamed. HOW DID HE GET MY SCREEENAME? I typed to him.
Melanymelons: Go away david I don’t like u
The_Y_anator: I’m coming.
Melanymelons: what?
The_Y_Anator has signed out at 6:37:00
What did he mean “I’m coming.”? Did that have to do with revenge? How would he know where I lived? So many questions circled in my head as I tried to sort it all out.
Suddenly Aaron IM ed me.
Aaron_ache: Hey I saw the WIERDEST thing- at least I think it is a thing—maybe it’s a WHO--- with these blue glittery wings. It was right near your house- actually RIGHT next to it.
My father saw the IM and turned pale in the face.
“Erm…Melany.. don’t reply to the IM. Just, erm, close it.”
Aaron was talking about me- he saw me transform. EEEP!!!
I clicked the X in the top right corner. The IM popped up again because Aaron had written another message. The computer sounded with the annoying BEEP of an IM, that’s when I ker-ploaded.
“WHY CAN’T WE JUST TELL HIM? THIS IS BECOMING JUST SO COMPLICATED!! WASN’T THAT THE ORIGINAL PLAN?! I DON’T CARE ABOUT WHAT YOU GUYS HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THIS—I’M TELLING HIM!!” I stormed out of the room, screaming in irritation.
“Honey, you can’t really tell him…” I heard my mother’s voice trail off as I grabbed my cell phone and new Automatic Scooter 1000 that I had gotten for my birthday two years ago. I had a flashback of my 10th birthday.
***
My grandmother handed me a brightly pink, blue, green, orange, and white dotted wrapped present. It has very tall and wide, about three feet tall, 1 foot wide. Pictures of the new Easy Bake Oven I had wanted flashed in my head. I grabbed the gift eagerly. I ripped the vibrant colored paper with a big pink bow on top to the floor, ignoring the card that said “Melany” scribbled in a fancy cursive handwriting. My grandmother and mother both had beaming smiles on their faces. My face, though, didn’t. It wasn’t the gift I expected it to be. It was an Automatic Scooter 1000.
“Erm..thanks Grandma..” I said as I pasted a fake smile on my face. My heart sank.
“Oh, I’m so glad you like it! I was debating either to get that Easy Bake Oven,” she mentioned my desired gift like she was telling me she had found a dead rat in her backyard, “But your mother said you would like this soo much better!! Oh, I’m just so glad you like it!” she gushed in her squawky grandmother voice.
“Yeah.. I really like it…! I’ll..uh.. just put it to the side here..” I pushed the gift to the side and never looked at it again until today, two years later.
***
I had pulled it out of the box, but I had never used it. I switched on the ON button. I looked at my computer one last time. Aaron’s IM popped up again, but this time there was a different message.
Aaronache: cmon Melany! Look, I even have a pic of it.
Aaronache invites you to a picture session. Do you accept?
Accept Decline
I clicked “Accept.”
A picture popped up.
Aaronache: My camera isn’t working, but I found this pic online and it looked exactly like what I saw, but the dress looked pink-ish.
Melanymelons: *rolls eyes* love it, now every1 will be using it.
Aaronache: so do u no wat it is?
Melanymelons: I dunno
Aaronache: Ya sure?
Melanymelons: as sure as dogs like bones.
Aaronache:???
Melanymelons:nvm
EHMAGAWD,I just HAD to tell him!!
I grabbed my scooter and went full speed to Aaron’s house. It only took about 2 seconds. J
I knocked on his door. His mother answered.
“Hey Melany, how are y-“
I pushed past her and ran up to Aaron’s room.
“NICE TO SEE YOU, MRS. ABELEY!” I yelled to her as I ran up the stairs. I checked my watch. 5 minutes till transformation. I burst into Aaron’s room.
“Aaron, I know what it was that you saw. It’s hard to explain and I know it’s even hard to believe. That’s why I’m not going to just tell you, I’m going to SHOW YOU my LIFE OR DEATH SECRET.”
CH 6: I’m not just going to tell you, I’m going to SHOW YOU.
“Is this the original ‘Life or Death secret’ you were talking about?” Aaron asked.
“Yep.”
“Yallrighty then,” Melany said, checking her watch, “I have approximately 10 seconds before I transform.”
“Transform? What are you t-“ Aaron got cut off as Melany’s wings popped out. She fully transformed into her fairy mode.
“So, YOU’RE the blue-glittery-wings-person?”
“Yep.”
“But… I saw you right next to your house…”
“Come on, I’ll show you.”
I pulled Aaron on my scooter and we zoomed to my house.
“As you know, this is my ‘house’,” I said.
“Why did you put quotes around house?” he asked.
“This is why.”
I pulled open the lamp, pulled the switch, and the door to our replica house opened. Aaron was wide-eyed as we walked in.
“THIS is my real house. When I moved here, I didn’t really move from Chicago, like I told you. I moved from Fairie, a city where all of us fairies, pixies, gnomes, and other magical things they taught you in first grade didn’t exist. Yes-that includes unicorns and also things you never even IMAGINED!” Aaron wasn’t freaked out like I expected him to be. He was actually FASCINATED!
“That is so cool!”
I blushed.
“Thanks.”
“Hello Aaron, you now know about us, and if you look to the exit and entrance of our replica house and our human house and all of the windows, they are guarded by Melany’s brother and her father. Do not be alarmed-this is just for safety reasons. We were afraid you were going to think we were freaks and run away screaming into the sunset. If you do, you would probably tell everyone in the city and us magical creatures would have to go into hiding or even worse-be extinct.” My mother said.
“Why would I be scared? This is so cool!!”
“Okay then, I guess we don’t need to guard the exits anymore,” my father and brother both said in unison.
“Looks like I have a lot of explaining to do…” I said.
“Yep,” said Aaron.
So I did.
An hour later, Aaron got up and stretched.
“So…we’re still best friends, right?” I asked him, hoping the answer would be yes.
“Of course Melany!! And by the way, I was determined to find out what that was. Those flashes were a camera, hidden on my shirt. The gash-fake. The blood-fake. Sorry but you know me- when I get a little bit of information I’m determined to know the truth.”
“I thought so,” I smiled.
Then we did our thing.
“In and out, through and through, I’ll always be besides you. MAA!!!” We both said. Like some best friends have secret handshakes, we did too. We said it whenever we were in doubt or just simply felt like saying it. MAA stood for Melany And Aaron. When we said MAA I took my right hand, Aaron took his left, and we did the very beginning of “Down By The banks” but just the beginning part, and when you got to the part where you clap, instead we made our hand into a fist and we hit our fists against each other. That was it.
We both laughed. We always said MAA!! Really weird, and it always made us laugh. It was 7:00 pm now.
“Hey, I gotta get goin’. Cya tomorrow.” Aaron said.
“Cya!” I said as we walked into my human house and to the front door.
Aaron left. I sighed a breath of relief. It was all good now.
“EHMAGAWD!!”
I had totally forgotten to call Emily! I rushed to my cell and called her.
“Hullo?”
“Hey Emily, it’s me, Melany.”
“Hey Melany! I was just about to call you!”
Emily and I were now best friends and almost as close as I was to Aaron. We called and IMed practically every day and I spent every waking moment with her if I wasn’t with Aaron, doing homework, or sleeping.
“Hey, I gotta show you something. Can you come over right now?”
“Sure!”
Great! I could show Emily too and get that weight off my ba-
“This fast enough?” Emily asked as she walked through the door, cell phone still to her ear, smiling and looking at me, even though she was supposed to be talking on the phone. She clicked “End” on her phone and put it down. No way a HUMAN could do THAT…
“Hey!”
“Hey Melons! What didya wanna show me?”
I repeated my famous quote I told Aaron to Emily.
“Emily, it’s hard to explain and I know it’s even hard to believe. That’s why I’m not going to just tell you, I’m going to SHOW YOU my LIFE OR DEATH SECRET.”
I knew I could trust Emily without even asking her. It was kind of weird, she didn’t even look puzzled, like Aaron did. It was like she knew what was going to happen.
At the exact same moment I transformed, she did too!
EMILY WAS A FAIRY TOO.
This time it was MY turn to be surprised.
“YOU’RE A FAIRY TOO?” We both said in unison.
“Well, yeah!” We both said in unison, again. We both started cracking up.
Then I had a flashback.
It was 6th grade, back at Fairie. I was going up to seventh grade, and it was the last day of school. I was talking to Whiteney. Suddenly, the new girl whizzed past us, her bright hair flowing in the wind. We had never really met her. We weren’t really friends, but we didn’t hate her. Her best friend was Shay, a girl who was very quiet and shy. They always talked to each other in hushed tones. Everyone mainly stayed away from them. Shay and the new girl liked it like that. We never really learned the new girl’s name. We didn’t really care.
“eh…ma…gawd…” I said.
Emily was the new girl! She used to live in Fairie! I KNEW her!!
“What?” Emily asked.
“Did you go to Fairie Junior High?”
“Yeah…”
“EHMAGAWD! I DID TOO! YOU WERE THE NEW GIRL! YOU WERE THE GIRL WHO WAS BEST FRIENDS WITH SHAY!”
Emily giggled.
“Yep. I was wondering how long it would take ya to find out.”
“Gawd, what made you so out-going? You used to hate sports!”
“When I moved here, in the summer, I decided to make a new me. So I tried something I had never done before other with Shay-socialize. I learned that I could be more than I thought so I did. I tried soccer and I loved it.” Emily shrugged.
“Aaron already knows, and he’s totally cool with it.”
Emily dropped the book she was looking at.
“YOU DID WHAT?!!?!?!!!”
“I just told Aaron, but he didn’t tell anybody!”
“I KNOW BUT YOU AREN’T SUPPOSED TO TELL ANYBODY! AT ALL! OR YOUR WINGS AND FAIRY ABILITIES WILL BE TAKEN AWAY BY THE BOARD OF FAIRIES!!”
The Board of Fairies were the top fairies who were in charge of discipline. I kind of forgot about that rule.
“HOLY CRAP!” We said in unison.
You would think now I would say, “As if on cue, the Board of Fairies arrived.” But they didn’t. Guess who did?
“THE EVIL DAIVD Y.”
“Hey Hey Hey gorgeous. I stuck to my promise.” David Y. smiled his idiotic smile with his big, fat stop sign shaped face and HORRIBLE haircut. I almost vomited.
“GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!!” Emily and I screamed in unison, again.
“No need to be rude! I just came here to get what I rightfully deserve. If you do it, I will leave and be on my way.”
“What do you want?” I said warily.
“A kiss.”
Typical. He’s probably never even had a girlfriend. HA!! In Fairie, he was always scheming these plots to make me kiss him, but they were always poorly thought out and I always beat him. This should just be another one of those times, right?
“Listen, Mr. Poopface, just go back to your little room and play with your Barbies.” I said.
“ For your information, I stopped playing with Barbies and ACTION FIGURES-NOT DOLLS G.I. JOES ARE NOT DOLLS- When I was in 5th grade.” He sniffed.
Emily and I cough-laughed.
“Now listen, you probably will think I don’t have a plan and if I do that it would be bad. But this time you have no choice.
“I watched your transformation when you showed Aaron and Emily. No time to explain- I have my ways. I do understand Emily is already a fairy but it is still against the rules.
“As you learned a few minutes ago, revealing our secret to the human world is illegal, and you will have your wings taken away and so will your powers.
“Well, as you know, The Board of Fairies has their ways of knowing when you do something illegal and will come within a half hour of your illegal action.
“As you know, 45 minutes have gone by and no show. You might be able to prevent them from coming at all-because I know you and your fairy friends-Whiteney—yes, Whiteney gets punished too-- and Emily- will have their powers and wings taken away.” David Y. explained.
“What’s the catch?” I asked warily.
David Y. did his stupid chortle laugh and then stopped.
“Oh, yes, the catch. The catch- 1 kiss from you to me- on the lips- 5 seconds MINIMUM. If you don’t I report you to the Board of Fairies.” David Y. laughed evilly. HE WAS SUCH AN IDIOT!! I had to get him out of here!
Well, the Board of Fairies are going to come anyway, probably. They’ll just come faster if I refuse to kiss David. I thought.
Hmmm… There’s GOTTA be a loophole… I sighed.
There was no loophole. I just had to refuse and take the consquequences.
“David, I won’t do it.”
David’s stupid little-or big, rather- face was shocked.
“Fine then, but you’re gonna hafta pay!! YOU’LL RUE THIS DAY MELANY FRIZZ!! RUE IT!!” David Y. stomped out of the house.
“I would normally cheer, but the Board of Fairies is still gonna come.” Emily said.
“I know, but I’m just gonna hafta take it. I need to write an email to Whiteney telling her-because she is gonna be affected by this too,” I said.
“Kay, well, call me when the BOF comes.”
“BOF?”
“Board Of Fairies.”
I walked Emily to the door. We both had transformed back into humans. Guess what David Y. is? A GNOME!! HAA!!!
I sat down at my computer and started to write.

Subject: Board of Fairies & Stupid Mistake on My Behalf
Dear Whits,
I made a stupid, horrible mistake. I told Aaron & Emily our secret. Turns out, Emily is a fairy, too. But still-Aaron isn’t. He didn’t freak out or anything. He was fascinated, really. He’s not ever going to tell anyone, ever. As you know, The Board of Fairies come within 30 minutes of your illegal action. 50 minutes have passed. They could come at any minute. David Y. came and demanded a kiss from me and said if I didn’t he would report me and they would come faster. I bet he still would have reported me anyway, but I still refused. He left, and the Board of Fairies is probably on their way. I am telling you this because it affects you too. As you know, when you tell someone our secret your wings and magical powers get taken away. Well, me and my family kind of forgot about this rule. How does it affect you? Well, for some reason, they would take away YOUR wings and powers too. So does Emily. I guess we’ll have to be normal humans for the rest of our lives. I’m so sorry and I hope we’re still BFFL, right?
Your (Un)forgiven? Best friend?
Melany.

Whiteney checked her email about every 5 seconds, So I was sure she would she it within the next tw-
Mount_Whiteney: gtg soon, but ur forgiven J maybe life as a human won’t be so bad… you know… ehh yeah not really helping MOM SCHREECHING GTG! BFFL!
Well at least she forga-
“Board of Fairies Step back with you arms up!” Said the Board Of Fairies as they burst through the door of my human house. I did what I was told.
“We have received a signal that Frizz, Melany has violated rule 3.1 of the Fairy Manual: Never Expose Our Secret to Humanity. Is this true?”
“Yes.” I said.
“Come with us. You will be transported to the Surgical Fairy Operating Room in Fairie where your wings and powers will be confiscated.”
“May I tell my parents? I also need to call my friend Emily. Will you be taking away Emily Kerpowski’s and Whiteney Gargle’s powers?”
“Yes, their powers will be taken away. You may take one phone call and tell your parents.”
I went into our replica house and called for a family meeting.
“Guys, The Board of Fairies is here and they are about to take away my powers. I’ll be back in about a day.” I kissed my mother and father and waved to my brother. I took out my cell phone and called Emily.
“Em?”
“Yeah?”
“They’re here. I guess I’ll see you in the operating room.”
I clicked end. I waked back into our human house and followed the Board Of Fairies officers out of my house, into the police car, and to Fairie where I would end my life as a fairy.
Prologue
I walked into the operating room. There was a lot of instruments. I sat down at the chair. A doctor walked in.
“Hello, you must be Melany Frizz. I’m Doctor Flash, I’ll be removing your wings and magical powers today.” He smiled brightly. Kinda freaky…
“Hi.” I said flatly.
“Okay, this won’t hurt a bit. Just take this pill. You won’t have to be put to sleep.” I swallowed the pill he handed to me with a glass of water. He took a pointy knife and started doing all of this icky stuff. I didn’t feel anything. I looked up at the ceiling. There was a shelf right above me with all of these weirdly colored liquids inside test tubes. All of the sudden, I felt a jolt. The chemicals fell down on me and everything was a blur.
“This wasn’t expected,” said Dr. Flash as he flipped through a manual.
“According to my calculations… in about three seconds, you should be healed and become a…”
“Superhero.” I said, finishing his sentence as I flew out of the window, and headed home to New York City.
The End
Srry it's so long, but it's really good :) so.....yeah....
The Adventures of Melany Frizz and Other Magical MISadventures
Prologue
I got into my old Chevy and drove to the new children’s bookstore on the corner of Broadway. A cute little place it was, how small it looked on the outside but how large it was on the inside. I parked and walked in, and sat in my usual rocking chair in the corner of the shop for the reading time for the little five year old girls. It got more crowded as time passed. The floor was now crowded with five year old girls, all staring up at me with their big, sparkling eyes, waiting and eager to hear my story. I cleared my throat and began.
CH 1: Fairie
I hurried down the hallway, clutching my backpack straps. I couldn’t let anyone see my like this. See, I am a fairy. Long story short- I used to live in Fairie with other fairies, pixies, and other magical such. You think that isn’t true- but it is. My mother was a pixie and my father was a pixie also, but my best friend, Whiteney, is a fairy like me. By the way- my name is Melany. Other people I know are gnomes, etc. So anyway, about my long story short- I used to live Fairie but my parents wanted my brother and me to be normal like humans (which are so odd- they can’t fly! I feel so bad for them) so we moved here to New York City.
New York is a LOT different than Fairie- no unicorns, no magical mushrooms. Just blinking lights and tall buildings here. I looked down at my watch. I had one hour left until my transformation. I got to my locker, opened it, and grabbed my books. The bell rang for us to go home. I ran down the hallway to see people staring at me. I carefully sniffed under my arm. I didn’t smell bad. I looked behind me to see sparkles behind me.
Shoot I thought, my fairy dust was leaking. I forced a smile on my face and headed home.
CH 2: Transformation
I unlocked the door just in time. I put down my bag and looked around our regular house. This was so boring. I pulled the switch under our lamp and opened the secret door into our fairy house, an exact replica of what it looked like back in Fairie. I smelled the sweet scent of boiling mushroom as I walked in.
“How was your first day at human school, honey,” my mother called.
“Fine,” I replied. I went to my room. I found my Pixie Power 2000 Computer and IM-ed my best friend Whiteney.
Melanymelons: HEY WHITENEY!!
Mount_Whiteney: OMG HEY MELANY!!!
Melanymelons: lol what have u been doin?
Mount_Whiteney: Evan has been sulking lol
Evan was a nerdy guy fairy who was Whiteney’s brother. He also liked me. I hated him.
Melanymelons: rrrrr
Mount_Whiteney: lol
Melanymelons: so hows it goin w/ u and Jake?
Mount_Whiteney: cute as ever!! :D
Melanymelons: gtg transformation!!
Mount_Whiteney: me 2 cya
Melanymelons: cya

I closed the laptop and got ready for my transformation. Suddenly, my blue wings popped out of my back. My regular clothes turned into my fairy dress. My golden blonde hair was rolled into a bun with sparkly clips. My wand was in my hand and my shoes were my dance shoes, black and new. They quickly turned into my silver ballet flat shoes.
I flew into my dining room, it was brown on the walls, but it was the hearth. It smelled of sweet dew on a spring day. There were pictures of my brother and me when we were in Fairie, smiling and laughing at the beach and with friends. I flew to the table and sat down. A second later, my mom flew in and put down dinner. Luckily, pixies were awesome at cooking. My mother sat down, followed by my father. My brother slugged into our dining room and sat down, listening to his Faipod.
“Honey, put down your Faipod and join us to eat dinner,” my mother said. My brother was too busy rocking his head and stamping and singing to the beat that he couldn’t hear my mother.
“HONEY PUT THE FAIPOD DOWN!!!!!!!” My mother started screaming. She snatched it out of his hands and threw it across the table. My father caught it and put it into his pocket. “HEYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!! WHY THE beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep DID YOU DO THAT FOR??!!!” My mother, father, and brother all started screaming to each other. I took my dinner up to my room and ate it there. I could still hear them screaming though.
I need some sort of peaceful manner power thing to make them be quiet I thought. I sat down on my bed, to find that I was lying down. I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.
CH 3: Aaron
I woke up to find my wings, wand, and other magical such gone. My transformation had worn off. I got dressed in my favorite outfit- my Fairiecrombie skinny jeans and my tight orange top with a little sparkles on it.
Now I have something to shimmy I thought. I grabbed my backpack and slung it over my shoulder. I made sure my fairy dust didn’t have a hole in it. I walked down the stairs and looked around. Everyone had already left. I grabbed my EnV 3 from Farizon and walked out of our replica house. I walked into our “human” house-how boring- and I grabbed my bike. I walked it outside and rode it to school. When I got to school, a boy was locking his bike up to the rack. I walked my bike right next to him and locked my bike also.
“Hey,” he said, without looking up.
“Hey,” I replied. I locked my bike faster than him. I looked him over. Light brownish blondish hair with some red highlights, dark skinny jeans, and a black shirt. He finished locking his bike and got up.
“I’m Aaron,” he said, wiping his hands on his pants and held his hand to mine. “Melany,” I said, shaking his hand.
“You new here? I haven’t seen you around.”
“Yeah.”
“Can I show you around?”
“Sure! I would love that!”
I showed him my schedule and he showed me his.
“We have the exact same schedule,” Aaron said.
“Awesome!”
“Cool,” I agreed. We walked side by side to our classes. Lots of the girls were only paying attention to Aaron, watching him with googly eyes. “Hiii Aaron!!!!!!” one girl said, her eyes staring at him. Aaron backed a way a little. One girl though, looked at me, enviously. Her arms were crossed and her hair looked like it was just permed. Her hair was pitch black, and she was wearing tight everything.
“Aar-on,” she said, sounding furious, “who is this,” she said, pointing to me. She looked disgusted.
“This is Melany; we have all of the same classes.”
“Oh,” she said, still disgusted. “Well, I’ll see you around.”
She gave one last dirty look at me and walked away. She snapped her fingers and two girls followed her. Her drones I thought.
“Who the hell was that?”
“She’s Laren, don’t listen to her. She’s a total bitch,” Aaron said, laughing. I laughed along with him. We got to room 507 for English. “Here we are,” he said. We walked into the classroom and sat down.
“Hello class, my name is Mr. Cam and welcome to English 7. In this room of learning, we will be learning about proper grammar, how to write a proper business letter, and many more exciting things. So let’s get started! I will start by taking roll. Please reply with ‘Here’ if you are here. Don’t say anything if you aren’t.” No one laughed at Mr. Cam’s attempt with lame humor. Mr. Cam started taking roll. I was utterly bored. I already knew everything that Mr. Cam was talking about, courtesy of Fairie School back home. Pixies took education very seriously, and so they had their fairies learn everything up to college level. I looked to my right to find a small girl with bright orange hair that was tied up in a high ponytail and she was wearing black pants and a white shirt. She was staring at the clock with her bright blue eyes, wishing that the clock would go faster. Since I was utterly bored, I tapped the redhead on her shoulder. Her bright red hair reminded me of something-someone- but I couldn’t put my finger on it.
“This is so boring,” I whispered. The redhead’s head whipped around, like I had broke her out of a trance.
“Oh, uh, yeah. This is going by so slowly. I want it to be lunch so I can go outside and play soccer,” the redhead said, a little too loud. Mr. Cam didn’t notice.
“Hi, I’m Melany,” I said to the redhead.
“Emily,” she said in a sing song voice.
“Do you want to sit with me and Aaron at lunch?”
“Sure!”
Apparently, everyone knew Aaron.
“Wait, EHMAGAWD YOU’RE FRIENDS WITH THEE AARON ABELEY?!”
“Is there a problem girls,” Mr. Cam said.
“No!” we both said at the same time.
Mr. Cam went back to calling roll.
“Well, yeah, he’s really nice. What’s so cool about him?”
“Come closer,” she said, beckoning me so move closer to her. I did.
“Rumor has it, Laren LOVES him. She gets way pissed if any girl is around him, even his sisters. She says:
‘Don’t even try. He’s mine. Even if he doesn’t know it, he loves me and if you even take ONE more step closer to Aaron, I will shred you to pieces. Now, goodbye, loser. Come on girls.’ Trust me, been there, done that. So, yeah, if you’re friends with Aaron Abeley and you aren’t little shreds yet, word will get around school that you defeated ‘The Evil Laren’ and that you and Aaron and bf and gf.”
“But we’re just friends… and she looked really mad when I and Aaron were walking down the hallway together…”
“Put 2 and 2 together honey, and you get one pissed off Laren.”
CH 4: Secret Telling
I walked into our replica home after school.
“Hey Mom,” I called out, “do you think it would be okay if I told Aaron our secret?”
Aaron had now come over a lot and my mom really liked him and his mom. We were best friends now.
“Well honey, I’m not sure. This is a very big secret. If he goes screaming off into the distance when you tell him, we will be exposed to humans. Then all of the fairies, pixies, etc. will have to go into hiding.”
“But I know he won’t do that, he’s my best friend. He’s really good at keeping secrets and everything. I think-I know- that our secret is safe with Aaron. He wouldn’t tell anyone, not his family, not even his wittle teddy bear if he has one. Please Mom? Please?” My mother sighed.
“If you are so sure, then, okay.” My mother sighed in defeat.
“Yes!!”
Now, the only way he would believe me if he saw me transform. I looked at my watch. One hour. I had to IM him.
Melanymelons: Aaron? U there?
Aaron_ache: ya
Melanymelons: can u keep a secret? A really, really big secret? A LIFE OR DEATH secret?
Aaron_ache: yes, Melany.
Melanymelons: ok. Come over to my house in exactly 55 minutes.
Aaron_ache: y?
Melanymelons: just do it
Aaron_ache: kk
Melanymelons: cya
Aaron_ache: cya
Melanymelons has logged out at 3:30:09
Aaron_ache has logged out at 3:31:00
I sighed. I would also have to show him our replica house. Just great. I started getting ready for Aaron’s arrival.
CH 5: Life or Death Secret
This couldn’t be happening. How could I do this?! I am such an idiot!! Here I am, being naive, thinking that if I told Aaron our secret that nothing would happen. Now its 4:15, 10 minutes before Aaron was supposed to come. I hit myself on the head 5 times while thinking, idiot idiot idiot IDIOT!
How could I be doing this?! STOP IT!!!!!!!!! I screamed in my head.
“Just get the human house looking good. Then you will open up the secret passageway into the replica. Then we go into my room, transformation, dinner, and then he will go home.” Unless he runs out, screaming, when he sees me transform. I thought smugly.
I looked at the clock. 4:20. 5 minutes. I panicked. I walked into the human house and cleaned it. I sighed. Any minute now. The doorbell rung. “Coming,” my mother called. “Oh hi Jennete! I was just expecting you! Here is your order. I hope it fits,” said my mother. I breathed a sigh of relief.
Just my mother’s human friend, getting her “Sparkle Clothing”. It was my mother’s human job. People looked at the “Sparkle Clothing” catalog, found something they liked, and ordered it. The sparkles on the clothing were really fairy dust. Tee hee!
HOW CAN YOU BE SAYING ‘TEE HEE!’ WHEN AARON IS ABOUT TO COME!!!! I thought. I started panicking again. I am SUCH a worrywart.
My enV 3 started ringing.
“Cuz you’re hot and you’re cold! You’re yes and you’re no,” my cell phone rang. I smiled. Best song ever! I answered. I heard Aaron on the phone. He didn’t sound good.
“*cough cough* Hey Melany *cough* I kinda got the *cough* *sneeze* flu from my sister. I *sneeze* can’t *cough* come to your house *cough cough*. I’m really sorry. I can * cough cough* come over *cough cough* *sneeze* when I get better. *cough cough* this should only be *sneeze* a 24 hour virus. *cough cough* I’ll see you tomorrow,” Aaron said.
“Oh,” I said, “that’s fine. I’ll see you at school tomorrow.”
“*cough cough* IM me? *cough*”
“Kay. Hope you feel better.”
***************
Meanwhile, Aaron was coughing.
I feel so bad he thought.
Melany wanted to tell me a really important secret. I wonder what it was. I hope she forgives me. I hope she still tells me. I think I should go get some cheese. Cheese would be good right now. Cheese always makes me feel bett- Aaron’s mom yelled to him, breaking him out of his cheese fantasy.
“Aaron honey, I know you’re bummed, but can you please run to the store and get some milk and eggs? I really need some,” Aaron’s mom called.
“Sure,” Aaron called back. He walked out of his blue room. Aaron’s room was a heaven for all guys. He had a big screen TV with a Tii game system and all the video games you could ever want. His Ewac computer was the latest in technology, and his bed was a water bed with real fish inside. Aaron walked into the living room, which was very modern. He grabbed his bike and headed out the door. As he rode past Melany’s house, something glittery caught his eye. Aaron stopped and peered up.
***************
I was mad, sad, and happy at all of the same time. Aaron would come back, after all, but he was supposed to come today. I sighed. I glanced at the clock. Any minute now.
Just then, my wings popped out, blue and glittery. My pink fairy dress was already on me, my golden hair in a bun with sparkly clips. My favorite silver ballet flats were on. Perfection! I peered out of my window.
That’s strange… I thought. Aaron’s bike…. I gasped. AARON’S BIKE!! HE SAW ME!! I ran downstairs.
“MOM!”
“What is it honey? There’s no need to scream!”
“IT’S AARON!”
“Honey, I know, he didn’t come. It was too bad he was si-“ I cut my mom off.
“COME LOOK!!” I grabbed her hand and pulled her to my room and to my window. She looked out and saw Aaron’s bike.
“Oh my,” my mother said, out of breath.
“JOHN!!!!! LOCKDOWN!! FAMILY MEETING!!!!!”
My mother and I rushed into the basement of our replica house.
“Okay, Aaron’s bike was outside Melany’s window, which means he saw Melany transform.”
My brother’s mouth dropped down.
“Good going, Melany,” my brother said sarcastically. My father gave him a stern look and continued.
“This means we all need to STAY CALM! And stay in our replica house. If he comes to the door of our human house, of which he only knows of, he doesn’t know about the replica, then if he comes to the door, NO ONE I REPEAT !NO ONE! WILL ANSWER THE DOOR!!! KAPEESH?”
“Kapeesh,” we all replied. As if on cue, the door bell rang, coming from our human house. Aaron started knocking and talking.
“Melany, I know you’re in here, and I wanted to say I’m sorry. Also, I saw the weirdest thing. Right next to your house, I saw this thing. It was all glittery, with blue wings- maybe I’m just imagining things. *cough cough* *sneeze* Well, I have to *cough* get some eggs. See you tomorrow. *cough cough*”
As soon as his footsteps faded, we came out of the basement. All of the sudden, we heard crashing.
“OWWWWWWWW,” Aaron screamed from the ground. By the time we got there, Aaron was unconscious, lying on the ground with a major gash in his head, which was bleeding, his bike 5 feet away.
***************
“Aaron?? Aaron? Can you hear me Aaron,” I said, shaking Aaron. He still wouldn’t wake up. I saw a few flashes-what was that? I rubbed my eyes clear of the spots.
“I’ll take him home,” I said. I picked up Aaron (super strength) and his bike and flew him to his house. He was all cleaned up thanks to our healing powers-but something was wrong with the gash. It peeled right off. Probably just the healing powers-or he knew some thing I didn’t. How could he know something I didn’t??
We got to his house and I finally got him to wake up.
“Thank goodness you’re awake! You’ve been unconscious for over an hour,” I said. Aaron rubbed his eyes and yawned.
“What happened?”
“You fell down the stairs.”
“Oh.” I saw another flash.
“Is it just me or am I seeing flashes?” Aaron looked at me like I was a freak.
“Uh….no….It’s just you Melany…..” Aaron stepped back.
“Well cya later.”
“Cya” Aaron opened his door and went inside. I flew back to my house, the mysterious flashes still coming. I flew up to my room and went through the window. There was an IM waiting for me.
Mount_Whiteney: HEY!!!
Melanymelons:hi!!!
Mount_Whiteney: LTNIM
Melanymelons: ??
Mount_Whiteney: Long Time No IM!
Melanymelons:o lol
Mount_Whiteney: it has been so boring w/o u! Apparently theres this guy in alg. And he was crushin on u………J
Melanymelons: who? :o
Mount_Whiteney: “the evil david y.”
Melanymelons: r u kidding me??? I HATE HIM!!!
Mount_Whiteney: apparently he doesn’t hate u……. J
Melanymelons: he’s this <:p fyi that’s a stupid person stickin out his tounge with a dunce hat J
Mount_Whiteney: he’s been talking to himself…….something about getting revenge….
Revenge? Not good. He couldn’t possibly come here-or could he? Another IM popped up.
The_Y_anator: Hey sweet thang J
Who was The_Y_anator….I typed to Whiteney
Melanymelons: Do u no any1 whos sn is The_Y_anator?
Mount_Whiteney is typing
Mount_Whiteney: OMG THAT’S THE EVIL DAVID Y!!
I screamed. HOW DID HE GET MY SCREEENAME? I typed to him.
Melanymelons: Go away david I don’t like u
The_Y_anator: I’m coming.
Melanymelons: what?
The_Y_Anator has signed out at 6:37:00
What did he mean “I’m coming.”? Did that have to do with revenge? How would he know where I lived? So many questions circled in my head as I tried to sort it all out.
Suddenly Aaron IM ed me.
Aaron_ache: Hey I saw the WIERDEST thing- at least I think it is a thing—maybe it’s a WHO--- with these blue glittery wings. It was right near your house- actually RIGHT next to it.
My father saw the IM and turned pale in the face.
“Erm…Melany.. don’t reply to the IM. Just, erm, close it.”
Aaron was talking about me- he saw me transform. EEEP!!!
I clicked the X in the top right corner. The IM popped up again because Aaron had written another message. The computer sounded with the annoying BEEP of an IM, that’s when I ker-ploaded.
“WHY CAN’T WE JUST TELL HIM? THIS IS BECOMING JUST SO COMPLICATED!! WASN’T THAT THE ORIGINAL PLAN?! I DON’T CARE ABOUT WHAT YOU GUYS HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THIS—I’M TELLING HIM!!” I stormed out of the room, screaming in irritation.
“Honey, you can’t really tell him…” I heard my mother’s voice trail off as I grabbed my cell phone and new Automatic Scooter 1000 that I had gotten for my birthday two years ago. I had a flashback of my 10th birthday.
***
My grandmother handed me a brightly pink, blue, green, orange, and white dotted wrapped present. It has very tall and wide, about three feet tall, 1 foot wide. Pictures of the new Easy Bake Oven I had wanted flashed in my head. I grabbed the gift eagerly. I ripped the vibrant colored paper with a big pink bow on top to the floor, ignoring the card that said “Melany” scribbled in a fancy cursive handwriting. My grandmother and mother both had beaming smiles on their faces. My face, though, didn’t. It wasn’t the gift I expected it to be. It was an Automatic Scooter 1000.
“Erm..thanks Grandma..” I said as I pasted a fake smile on my face. My heart sank.
“Oh, I’m so glad you like it! I was debating either to get that Easy Bake Oven,” she mentioned my desired gift like she was telling me she had found a dead rat in her backyard, “But your mother said you would like this soo much better!! Oh, I’m just so glad you like it!” she gushed in her squawky grandmother voice.
“Yeah.. I really like it…! I’ll..uh.. just put it to the side here..” I pushed the gift to the side and never looked at it again until today, two years later.
***
I had pulled it out of the box, but I had never used it. I switched on the ON button. I looked at my computer one last time. Aaron’s IM popped up again, but this time there was a different message.
Aaronache: cmon Melany! Look, I even have a pic of it.
Aaronache invites you to a picture session. Do you accept?
Accept Decline
I clicked “Accept.”
A picture popped up.
Aaronache: My camera isn’t working, but I found this pic online and it looked exactly like what I saw, but the dress looked pink-ish.
Melanymelons: *rolls eyes* love it, now every1 will be using it.
Aaronache: so do u no wat it is?
Melanymelons: I dunno
Aaronache: Ya sure?
Melanymelons: as sure as dogs like bones.
Aaronache:???
Melanymelons:nvm
EHMAGAWD,I just HAD to tell him!!
I grabbed my scooter and went full speed to Aaron’s house. It only took about 2 seconds. J
I knocked on his door. His mother answered.
“Hey Melany, how are y-“
I pushed past her and ran up to Aaron’s room.
“NICE TO SEE YOU, MRS. ABELEY!” I yelled to her as I ran up the stairs. I checked my watch. 5 minutes till transformation. I burst into Aaron’s room.
“Aaron, I know what it was that you saw. It’s hard to explain and I know it’s even hard to believe. That’s why I’m not going to just tell you, I’m going to SHOW YOU my LIFE OR DEATH SECRET.”
CH 6: I’m not just going to tell you, I’m going to SHOW YOU.
“Is this the original ‘Life or Death secret’ you were talking about?” Aaron asked.
“Yep.”
“Yallrighty then,” Melany said, checking her watch, “I have approximately 10 seconds before I transform.”
“Transform? What are you t-“ Aaron got cut off as Melany’s wings popped out. She fully transformed into her fairy mode.
“So, YOU’RE the blue-glittery-wings-person?”
“Yep.”
“But… I saw you right next to your house…”
“Come on, I’ll show you.”
I pulled Aaron on my scooter and we zoomed to my house.
“As you know, this is my ‘house’,” I said.
“Why did you put quotes around house?” he asked.
“This is why.”
I pulled open the lamp, pulled the switch, and the door to our replica house opened. Aaron was wide-eyed as we walked in.
“THIS is my real house. When I moved here, I didn’t really move from Chicago, like I told you. I moved from Fairie, a city where all of us fairies, pixies, gnomes, and other magical things they taught you in first grade didn’t exist. Yes-that includes unicorns and also things you never even IMAGINED!” Aaron wasn’t freaked out like I expected him to be. He was actually FASCINATED!
“That is so cool!”
I blushed.
“Thanks.”
“Hello Aaron, you now know about us, and if you look to the exit and entrance of our replica house and our human house and all of the windows, they are guarded by Melany’s brother and her father. Do not be alarmed-this is just for safety reasons. We were afraid you were going to think we were freaks and run away screaming into the sunset. If you do, you would probably tell everyone in the city and us magical creatures would have to go into hiding or even worse-be extinct.” My mother said.
“Why would I be scared? This is so cool!!”
“Okay then, I guess we don’t need to guard the exits anymore,” my father and brother both said in unison.
“Looks like I have a lot of explaining to do…” I said.
“Yep,” said Aaron.
So I did.
An hour later, Aaron got up and stretched.
“So…we’re still best friends, right?” I asked him, hoping the answer would be yes.
“Of course Melany!! And by the way, I was determined to find out what that was. Those flashes were a camera, hidden on my shirt. The gash-fake. The blood-fake. Sorry but you know me- when I get a little bit of information I’m determined to know the truth.”
“I thought so,” I smiled.
Then we did our thing.
“In and out, through and through, I’ll always be besides you. MAA!!!” We both said. Like some best friends have secret handshakes, we did too. We said it whenever we were in doubt or just simply felt like saying it. MAA stood for Melany And Aaron. When we said MAA I took my right hand, Aaron took his left, and we did the very beginning of “Down By The banks” but just the beginning part, and when you got to the part where you clap, instead we made our hand into a fist and we hit our fists against each other. That was it.
We both laughed. We always said MAA!! Really weird, and it always made us laugh. It was 7:00 pm now.
“Hey, I gotta get goin’. Cya tomorrow.” Aaron said.
“Cya!” I said as we walked into my human house and to the front door.
Aaron left. I sighed a breath of relief. It was all good now.
“EHMAGAWD!!”
I had totally forgotten to call Emily! I rushed to my cell and called her.
“Hullo?”
“Hey Emily, it’s me, Melany.”
“Hey Melany! I was just about to call you!”
Emily and I were now best friends and almost as close as I was to Aaron. We called and IMed practically every day and I spent every waking moment with her if I wasn’t with Aaron, doing homework, or sleeping.
“Hey, I gotta show you something. Can you come over right now?”
“Sure!”
Great! I could show Emily too and get that weight off my ba-
“This fast enough?” Emily asked as she walked through the door, cell phone still to her ear, smiling and looking at me, even though she was supposed to be talking on the phone. She clicked “End” on her phone and put it down. No way a HUMAN could do THAT…
“Hey!”
“Hey Melons! What didya wanna show me?”
I repeated my famous quote I told Aaron to Emily.
“Emily, it’s hard to explain and I know it’s even hard to believe. That’s why I’m not going to just tell you, I’m going to SHOW YOU my LIFE OR DEATH SECRET.”
I knew I could trust Emily without even asking her. It was kind of weird, she didn’t even look puzzled, like Aaron did. It was like she knew what was going to happen.
At the exact same moment I transformed, she did too!
EMILY WAS A FAIRY TOO.
This time it was MY turn to be surprised.
“YOU’RE A FAIRY TOO?” We both said in unison.
“Well, yeah!” We both said in unison, again. We both started cracking up.
Then I had a flashback.
It was 6th grade, back at Fairie. I was going up to seventh grade, and it was the last day of school. I was talking to Whiteney. Suddenly, the new girl whizzed past us, her bright hair flowing in the wind. We had never really met her. We weren’t really friends, but we didn’t hate her. Her best friend was Shay, a girl who was very quiet and shy. They always talked to each other in hushed tones. Everyone mainly stayed away from them. Shay and the new girl liked it like that. We never really learned the new girl’s name. We didn’t really care.
“eh…ma…gawd…” I said.
Emily was the new girl! She used to live in Fairie! I KNEW her!!
“What?” Emily asked.
“Did you go to Fairie Junior High?”
“Yeah…”
“EHMAGAWD! I DID TOO! YOU WERE THE NEW GIRL! YOU WERE THE GIRL WHO WAS BEST FRIENDS WITH SHAY!”
Emily giggled.
“Yep. I was wondering how long it would take ya to find out.”
“Gawd, what made you so out-going? You used to hate sports!”
“When I moved here, in the summer, I decided to make a new me. So I tried something I had never done before other with Shay-socialize. I learned that I could be more than I thought so I did. I tried soccer and I loved it.” Emily shrugged.
“Aaron already knows, and he’s totally cool with it.”
Emily dropped the book she was looking at.
“YOU DID WHAT?!!?!?!!!”
“I just told Aaron, but he didn’t tell anybody!”
“I KNOW BUT YOU AREN’T SUPPOSED TO TELL ANYBODY! AT ALL! OR YOUR WINGS AND FAIRY ABILITIES WILL BE TAKEN AWAY BY THE BOARD OF FAIRIES!!”
The Board of Fairies were the top fairies who were in charge of discipline. I kind of forgot about that rule.
“HOLY CRAP!” We said in unison.
You would think now I would say, “As if on cue, the Board of Fairies arrived.” But they didn’t. Guess who did?
“THE EVIL DAIVD Y.”
“Hey Hey Hey gorgeous. I stuck to my promise.” David Y. smiled his idiotic smile with his big, fat stop sign shaped face and HORRIBLE haircut. I almost vomited.
“GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!!” Emily and I screamed in unison, again.
“No need to be rude! I just came here to get what I rightfully deserve. If you do it, I will leave and be on my way.”
“What do you want?” I said warily.
“A kiss.”
Typical. He’s probably never even had a girlfriend. HA!! In Fairie, he was always scheming these plots to make me kiss him, but they were always poorly thought out and I always beat him. This should just be another one of those times, right?
“Listen, Mr. Poopface, just go back to your little room and play with your Barbies.” I said.
“ For your information, I stopped playing with Barbies and ACTION FIGURES-NOT DOLLS G.I. JOES ARE NOT DOLLS- When I was in 5th grade.” He sniffed.
Emily and I cough-laughed.
“Now listen, you probably will think I don’t have a plan and if I do that it would be bad. But this time you have no choice.
“I watched your transformation when you showed Aaron and Emily. No time to explain- I have my ways. I do understand Emily is already a fairy but it is still against the rules.
“As you learned a few minutes ago, revealing our secret to the human world is illegal, and you will have your wings taken away and so will your powers.
“Well, as you know, The Board of Fairies has their ways of knowing when you do something illegal and will come within a half hour of your illegal action.
“As you know, 45 minutes have gone by and no show. You might be able to prevent them from coming at all-because I know you and your fairy friends-Whiteney—yes, Whiteney gets punished too-- and Emily- will have their powers and wings taken away.” David Y. explained.
“What’s the catch?” I asked warily.
David Y. did his stupid chortle laugh and then stopped.
“Oh, yes, the catch. The catch- 1 kiss from you to me- on the lips- 5 seconds MINIMUM. If you don’t I report you to the Board of Fairies.” David Y. laughed evilly. HE WAS SUCH AN IDIOT!! I had to get him out of here!
Well, the Board of Fairies are going to come anyway, probably. They’ll just come faster if I refuse to kiss David. I thought.
Hmmm… There’s GOTTA be a loophole… I sighed.
There was no loophole. I just had to refuse and take the consquequences.
“David, I won’t do it.”
David’s stupid little-or big, rather- face was shocked.
“Fine then, but you’re gonna hafta pay!! YOU’LL RUE THIS DAY MELANY FRIZZ!! RUE IT!!” David Y. stomped out of the house.
“I would normally cheer, but the Board of Fairies is still gonna come.” Emily said.
“I know, but I’m just gonna hafta take it. I need to write an email to Whiteney telling her-because she is gonna be affected by this too,” I said.
“Kay, well, call me when the BOF comes.”
“BOF?”
“Board Of Fairies.”
I walked Emily to the door. We both had transformed back into humans. Guess what David Y. is? A GNOME!! HAA!!!
I sat down at my computer and started to write.

Subject: Board of Fairies & Stupid Mistake on My Behalf
Dear Whits,
I made a stupid, horrible mistake. I told Aaron & Emily our secret. Turns out, Emily is a fairy, too. But still-Aaron isn’t. He didn’t freak out or anything. He was fascinated, really. He’s not ever going to tell anyone, ever. As you know, The Board of Fairies come within 30 minutes of your illegal action. 50 minutes have passed. They could come at any minute. David Y. came and demanded a kiss from me and said if I didn’t he would report me and they would come faster. I bet he still would have reported me anyway, but I still refused. He left, and the Board of Fairies is probably on their way. I am telling you this because it affects you too. As you know, when you tell someone our secret your wings and magical powers get taken away. Well, me and my family kind of forgot about this rule. How does it affect you? Well, for some reason, they would take away YOUR wings and powers too. So does Emily. I guess we’ll have to be normal humans for the rest of our lives. I’m so sorry and I hope we’re still BFFL, right?
Your (Un)forgiven? Best friend?
Melany.

Well at least she forga-
“Board of Fairies Step back with you arms up!” Said the Board Of Fairies as they burst through the door of my human house. I did what I was told.
“We have received a signal that Frizz, Melany has violated rule 3.1 of the Fairy Manual: Never Expose Our Secret to Humanity. Is this true?”
“Yes.” I said.
“Come with us. You will be transported to the Surgical Fairy Operating Room in Fairie where your wings and powers will be confiscated.”
“May I tell my parents? I also need to call my friend Emily. Will you be taking away Emily Kerpowski’s and Whiteney Gargle’s powers?”
“Yes, their powers will be taken away. You may take one phone call and tell your parents.”
I went into our replica house and called for a family meeting.
“Guys, The Board of Fairies is here and they are about to take away my powers. I’ll be back in about a day.” I kissed my mother and father and waved to my brother. I took out my cell phone and called Emily.
“Em?”
“Yeah?”
“They’re here. I guess I’ll see you in the operating room.”
I clicked end. I waked back into our human house and followed the Board Of Fairies officers out of my house, into the police car, and to Fairie where I would end my life as a fairy.
Prologue
I walked into the operating room. There was a lot of instruments. I sat down at the chair. A doctor walked in.
“Hello, you must be Melany Frizz. I’m Doctor Flash, I’ll be removing your wings and magical powers today.” He smiled brightly. Kinda freaky…
“Hi.” I said flatly.
“Okay, this won’t hurt a bit. Just take this pill. You won’t have to be put to sleep.” I swallowed the pill he handed to me with a glass of water. He took a pointy knife and started doing all of this icky stuff. I didn’t feel anything. I looked up at the ceiling. There was a shelf right above me with all of these weirdly colored liquids inside test tubes. All of the sudden, I felt a jolt. The chemicals fell down on me and everything was a blur.
“This wasn’t expected,” said Dr. Flash as he flipped through a manual.
“According to my calculations… in about three seconds, you should be healed and become a…”
“Superhero.” I said, finishing his sentence as I flew out of the window, and headed home to New York City.
