Once Upon a Time...

They likely felt the world shift, a fragmentation of all they thought they knew. It was the way a fictional character might feel if they could feel every page turn in the book they lived in. It was the beginning of a new story and that meant an end to an old one and they would each feel that.

To some it would feel like they had just died. To others, it would feel like they had just been born. To many, it would feel like both at the same time. It all really depended on who they were and what they were leaving behind.

In any case, this world had something New appear in it. After lightning crackled in the evening sky without any storm fueling it, they would find themselves waking up in the streets of a small town called Burgess. It was a perfectly ordinary Pennsylvania town, a place where the modern mixed with the old, American suburbia at its finest, making it all the stranger that something extraordinary would happen somewhere so ordinary.

"The mini-fairies that help the Tooth Fairy are taking over collecting teeth and the Yetis and elves are still making the toys. Bunny and I were going to deliver them ourselves. We can handle it, at least until we get them back."

He was lying like a rug. They were certainly going to try but they were in over their head.

"We'll figure this out when we talk with the others, though." He pointed with his staff down at the field near a pond, where a few people were already gathered.

"I'm going to need you to wait there with everyone else until we get the last few stragglers. Then we'll talk to everyone and figure out what to do from here."

"Yeah... okay." She looks down at the group with a little bit of trepidation. What if none of her friends are there? What if they're all grownups? What if--

Nope, she's Princess Powerful, she's not gonna be scared.

She's not.

"I promise I won't leave unless I find out you're secretly a bad guy," she promises solemnly.

"You don't have to worry about that, so I guess you'll be sticking around."

He landed and set her down gently, giving her a wide smile.

"As far as we know, the other people here are good guys too, but if anyone seems scary, give a yell. The Wind's my friend and it'll make sure it carries it to me, okay? And I'll come right back. It shouldn't take too long to get the last few people."

Molly nods, because all of that makes perfect sense for her. If Jack Frost is real, why wouldn't he be friends with the Wind? And why wouldn't the Wind be something you could befriend?

"Okay. Don't take too long, though, okay?" She's not scared, but okay maybe she doesn't want to be alone with a bunch of strangers for too long. Hey, in the lack of familiar faces, he seems safe enough to trust. If he's friends with Santa and the Easter Bunny, he must be a good guy.

"I'll be quick as cricket, I promise."

And with that, he was off.
