The Fairy Godmother Love Story
Page 2
“You’re leaving?” Ash asked while Samantha embarrassedly flushed and clutched his arm.
“Yeah, I get off at ten thirty anyway. Have fun.” Indigo forced herself to wink playfully. (She was going to get in so much trouble for this newest failure…)
“Indigo,” Ash called to his retreating godmother. She paused and turned around for a moment. “Thanks,” he said, his eyes shining in happiness.
Indigo let a smile curl across her lips and she quietly slipped through the crowds, avoiding the grownups, and exited through the front doors. She rubbed her bare arms in the cool night air and gazed up at the starry sky.
She peered behind her to see the front doors of the high school, glowing from the party lights within. No one was there. She opened her mouth and let out a loud scream of frustration. She angrily threw her wand into the street, watching the top pop off with a small amount of satisfaction.
“I can’t believe this!” Indigo shouted. “With this I’ve probably dropped into last place!” she yelled kicking her wand away. “And the worst part is I really don’t feel bad about what happened. They were pretty cute together,” Indigo growled. She scowled before screaming, “I HATE THIS JOB!”
“My, my, my. Someone has it together, as usual.”
Indigo groaned. “Not now, Derek. I swear I’ll rip off your head and feed it to Chewie,” she said, her jaw clenched.
“And miss my pleasant company? You wouldn’t dare,” Derek smirked, appearing at her side.
Indigo shot him an exasperated gaze, one that was well beyond her years.
“So, it didn’t work out?” Derek summed up.
“Nope,” Indigo growled, rubbing her arms again. “Ash and Samantha are probably happily giggling. I’m positive they’ll have such fun together. She’s probably even better for him than Nina. Unfortunately, the Fairy Counsel doesn’t agree,” Indigo sighed.
Derek silently stood beside her, giving her a comforting presence.
The clock struck ten thirty and Indigo’s broken wand in the street evaporated in a cloud of sparkles. “I’m heading home,” she declared. “I’ll have to deal with this mess in paperwork tomorrow,” Indigo sighed.
“You finish at ten thirty?” Derek asked.
“On the dot. No overtime allowed.” Indigo brushed her gloves off. She gave Derek an odd look. “Why aren’t you in there with, what was her face, Nicky?”
“Nicole,” Derek corrected, shedding his coat. “Want it?” he asked, offering it to her.
Indigo narrowed her eyes and hesitantly threw the coat over her shoulders. He probably wasn’t feeling well; he was never nice to her twice within one hour. “Whatever her name was. Won’t she be mad that you just sorta left her there?”
“Nah,” Derek said, raising his gaze to the night sky. “I broke up with her about three weeks ago,” he calmly said.
Indigo’s face shot up. “Really, why?” she questioned.
“I was showing signs of mental instability,” Derek said, giving her a rueful, if not devious, smile.
Indigo snorted. “Well, I could have told you that! What tipped you off? Do you want me to help you get admittance into a ward?”
“I thought it wasn’t a good sign when I realized I was falling for my brother’s fairy godmother,” Derek said, returning his dark eyes to the sky.
Indigo scoffed. “Your brother’s fairy godmother, how old is she? Like eighty… oh,” Indigo trailed off, adding up the facts. She bit her lip and gazed up at the taller, older boy.
Derek glanced down to give her an assuring yet saddened smile before sighing up at the stars.
Indigo shuffled her feet, thinking. “Well, I’m no princess suave,” she hesitantly said. Derek quickly turned to face her while the young fairy godmother continued. “And are you aware that my wand costs under a dollar?”
Derek let out a note of laughter before picking Indigo up and whirling her around.
“Put me down! I spend enough time in the air as it is already!” she protested.
Derek set her on the ground and bent over her, a smile slipping across his face. “Never,” he whispered in her ear before quieting her with a gentle kiss.
On the roof of the high school, a bald old man observed the blooming relationship. “Excellent, one more down!” Rumpelstiltskin crowed, hopping to his feet after making a check on a piece of paper. “Yes indeed, love. Fairy Godmothers don’t get Fairy Godmothers, they get Fairy Godfathers!
And they lived happily ever after,
The End!
