Dream Festival: Once Upon a Dream

[Ellie who has 0%]

“Alright it’s almost time,” Minnie’s voice sang in the Audience Chamber. Pixie dust was raining everywhere with the busy fairies at work; it kept the brooms busy with their perfectionist duty to clean. Fauna, Flora, and Merryweather flew about with a wave of their wands to set all the tables together. They moved them to the edges of the room for her guest can sit, while the center was left open for the dance floor.

“I personally think it would look pretty blue,” Merryweather pouted after letting another dancing and floating rose red table cloth rest in place. She stood out in her dark blue Renaissance dress surrounded by reds, oranges, and yellow. It was too warm of a color scheme for her test, and it rubbed her wings the wrong way how Flora was happy winning that battle.

In the center of the tables were wide glass bowls with gold rims and the royal sign marked all over. Inside were youthful tadpoles with floating lily candles. Silvermist has been working for weeks with them to sure they can do their synchronized swim with small streams of spells. The tall Asian water fairy drifted away from a bowl after Iridessa lit up the last candle.

“That’s the last table. Isn’t this exciting! We never interacted with humans at the Mainland let alone leave our world, BUT Wow the first experience ever is a big party with a QUEEN!” Iridessa has been on cloud nine since she started decorating today. She loved sprinkling light, and this felt like the first day she had to use it so frequently.

“I know I can’t wait to see more people, animals…and people.” Silvermist replied with a happy sigh; all the Pixie Hollow fairies were enchanted for the night to speak the common language here. Any other time it was nothing but chimes and rings.

“Bipidi Bopidi Boo!”

The pair of fairies was startled with a sparkling stream as a trio of brooms was turned into waitressing penguins. Not wanting the same fate for being innocent bystanders, Iridessa and Silvermist flew away from the Fairy Godmother.

“Now you’re going to serve everyone. Give them water when they sit, hand out the meals when they were done,” she started passionately. She was deep in instructions that she didn’t notice them still trying to flick away fairy dust with the yellow webbed feet, but wobbled away when the Queen came bouncing through.

“Oh, so we have the waiters,” Minnie pointed at the freshly made penguins, “the decorations are up.”

Her eyes flicked to Vidia, Chip, and Dale as they place the last batch, but they were doing a lot of squabbling about it. The Mouse just let them be to figure it out; she had a lot to weed through. She was in a finer ballroom dress; she looked like a pink bubble, and her shortness and bouncy walk didn’t help. The pink ball continued to bounce about nervously until a kind hand touched her shoulder.
“I think this is a marvelous party your grace. It’s heart-felt, genuine, and a warm distraction of the current predicament. So you can rest your conscience now,” the warm voice of the Blue Fairy cooled the nervous Queen.

“She is right you know; sure there are some last minute touches, but we have a lot of volunteers let alone magic to help us,” chirped the Queen’s advisor, Daisy, “Now how about I take you to get some punch; I can redo your make-up for you can nice and fresh. The Blue Fairy can handle the rest, and I’ll even make sure someone message Donald to come help…wherever he is.”

The Blue Fairy waited for the Queen to be out of sight and ear shot before waving her wand. All the guests will be in the Colonnade before being able to proceed further into the castle where Queen Clarion was managing the crowd.
