Just Another Day In Faerie Meadows

It was Mona’s lucky day. She found a four-leaf clover. Faeries rarely do, for they are not supposed to look for them. It is in the faerie code, but she accidentally looked up and there was a beautiful green one under a mushroom. She left it undisturbed, of course. Her usual lunar moth had sent a replacement. His name was Chet, and he was amiable, and personable. They hit it off right away. He asked where she wanted to go, and she said “faerie meadows please.” He would not accept any faerie dust for his trouble. It was indeed her lucky day. When she was dusting the roses she found a most unusual caterpillar. He was not the fuzzy sort, but he was multi-colored, and most peculiar looking. “What are you?” he asked her. “I am a faerie,” she told him “Faeries aren’t real,” he told her. “I can show you some other faeries” she offered. But the other faeries were shy, and fearful as he was a most peculiar looking caterpillar. He was sectioned off orange and blue, with yellow dots. “He’s not real,” one said. “He can’t be,” another faerie interjected. It was just another day in Faerie Meadows, discussing who is real, and who is not.

I am so much better; I had Saturday school yesterday from 9 to 3. Was shocked to be the first to arrive and realize that my keycard did not work. Who knew it only works Monday through Friday? Luckily my principal was right behind me and she has a magic Saturday keycard.
