"Loraine!" Tayla pulled my arm forward as she skipped towards the entrance of the pink swirled dome. Her wings fluttered as her feet left the ground for a moment, before softly landing back beside me. "Isn't this great? In just a few days, this might be where we go."

"Alright, I need everyone to form a line." Miss Linnette called to us as she got to the door. Tayla and I stood about halfway through the line of our classmates. Miss Linnette finally nodded to herself, and opened the door to the building, ushering us in one at a time. The room was humongous, and I took a moment to wave to my Aunt Adria as she walked by, talking to another pink fairy. Miss Linnette bowed to an older lady as she walked up. "Class, this is Sonia, and she's the head of this department. I need you to give her your full attention for this part of our field trip."

The older lady glanced over each of us, appraising us before she spoke. "It's so good to see such bright faces in the morning," she said, her voice soft, floating amongst us. "I hope you're all excited to be here. We're one of the smaller departments, but no less important. Think of this trip as one last review before your graduation. Now, if you'll follow me, I'll show you around."

My eyes darted everywhere as I followed Tayla. There were practice rooms everywhere, with a lot of props, some of them Miss Linnette had in our classroom. There were only a few fairies flittering about, though they blended together in the pink glow coming off of the walls. Tayla took my hand again as we stopped outside a nursery. "As you all know by now, Pink Fairies are the caregivers of our world. We raise the young and teach them, and take care of our sick. You all have had at least two Pink Fairies in your life, and quite possibly a third."

"Your Aunt took care of me when I was sick," Tayla whispered to me as the line continued moving again. "She's really nice. Do you want to go pink?"

"I really don't know." My whisper carried a bit too loud, and I cringed as Miss Sonia gave us a knowing look, and I ignored Tayla as she repeated her question. Mom would be mortified if she knew I was talking instead of learning, and if Aunt Adria heard, she'd be sure to tell her sister. The class stopped again outside an identical room to our classroom.

"It take a few seasons to impart the skills to another Pink Fairy. We all have our various strengths and weaknesses, and some of us will be better at teaching, while some may have no skill for it. We have to both properly test one's inclinations towards our fields, and train them in it, which takes somewhere between 3-4 seasons usually." It was a long time, but an important time. My mom had told me about the one time someone was rushed through training. It had ended in disaster. "That actually concludes our portion of your field trip. We'll be glad to see any of you back here who go pink. You'll get a more detailed tour then."

Miss Linnette met us back at the door, and promptly turned us over towards the green dome. We were scheduled to go through 4 of the departments today, and the other 4 tomorrow, but all done in the normal course of school. She was undoubtedly feeling pressed for time. We were met at the door to the green dome by a young green fairy, who politely smiled at everyone as we walked in. A wave of conflicting scents hit me as I walked in, some pleasant, most not. Tayla's hand clenched mine tighter as she audibly choked.

"My name is Isbel and I am your guide while you're here. You'll get use to the smell shortly. I'm 10 seasons old, so I'm just a couple seasons older than most of you. When I was your age, I wouldn't have thought I would enjoy being a green fairy either. If you will just follow me." She twirled around, and started walking off. It seemed to just be one large room in the building. Isbel stopped in front of a strange yellow and blue plant. "Green Fairies are on of the two departments that insure life continues on down in the human world. We grow plants, and harvest seeds to make sure there are always seeds for the next years plants. Something you probably did not know though, is that the plants we have here, such as this one, actually develops two kinds of seeds. One is of our magical variety, while the other is just a mundane plant, that will be dropped off in their world. Working with plants is a very rewarding job. Like with the pink fairies, we nurture, and there's nothing to compare with the feeling. I believe your teacher told me you didn't have much time, so take another moment to look around, then return to your teacher."

"My mom told me they have more plants here than has ever been seen elsewhere in either world," I whisper to Tayla as we quickly hurry back to Miss Linnette. "But at least there are more guys here than there were over with the pinks." Tayla giggles, and even Miss Linnette smiles at us as we exit the building.

"Alright girls, let's see if we can get everyone back out here, away from the smell. We need to get moving to go to Purple and White, so I can get everyone home so you can have dinner with your families." She whistles as those still inside, and manages to get the few who were lingering. Hopefully they'll end up as green so no one else will.

The purple building is unlike any of the others. I saw a rainbow once, but even that couldn't quite compare to the range of colors I saw on the building. They were all purple, but in such a multitude I would never have even been able to imagine. It was a dome, like the other two buildings we had been to, but the similarities ended there. Everyone's pace slowed as we approached, the doors opening before us.

"My name is Emil," a deep voice called, and a purple fairy walked out of the shadows. "I will guide you around our complex, though there isn't as much here to see as there is in the other divisions." The room inside was small, with only a few subjoining rooms. "We have a few rooms we keep as constant examples, and another where we receive our assignments. To your left you have an example of one of our normal jobs. Humans have made varying stories talking about the creatures who fashion dreams, but all we do is awake the subconscious at its proper time. You can't always do it. In the second room, we have two models. One is awake and active, and his mind is not open, while the other is awake but drowsy enough that his mind is open. It is very key that we purple fairies know how to tell the difference." Emil paused as he approached the larger of the connecting rooms. "It seems today is different though, and I'm afraid our common room is off limits. You may look around at the examples for as long as you want though."

Tayla bounced up and down for a moment, before deciding which room we should go to. She led us into the second example, and wrapped her arm around the blonde human model. The one Emil had claimed was the active one. "He's kind of cute, don't you think?" she asks me with a small giggle. "They're just missing wings though. They'd look so much better with wings." She nudged me as we rejoined the group, but I merely shrugged. I thought the lack of wings was what made them different, and interesting, but I knew to say that to Tayla would just be inviting an argument I didn't want.

Miss Linnette radiated relief as we left the building. "Alright, we've only got one more stop left for today. Remember, you must be on your absolute best behavior here. Some of you may be working there, and the rest of you will be dependent on the ones who do." We approached the white dome with reverence. I'd been there before, but the pristine white building left me feeling no less awed than I had last time. Tooth Fairy Central, as my dad always calls it with a laugh.

And there he was, walking out of the doorway to greet us as he had said he would. His white wings gleamed in the light. "My name is Kendal, and if you guys will follow me closely, I'll show you the operation that helps run our entire world." My dad smiled at me, and walked over to give me a hug. He took the hand Tayla wasn't holding, and led me through the doors. Unlike the other places we'd been, the white dome was full of people and devices. We led everyone in a narrow line to avoid bumping into anything. "This is the place where Fairy Dust is made. We take the baby teeth of humans as they loose them, and grind them into that which you see here." He opened a bag, and took out a tooth of giant proportions, it was half the size of his hand. He set it on the empty machine, and hit a button. It came to life, shaving speck by speck off of the tooth, and small specks of fairy dust fell off. "No matter what job you guys do end up with, you'll be coming here for your daily ration of fairy dust. It has more uses than we can count, and probably more than even the brown fairies could chronicle."

We were led back near the entrance, where a few fairies were waiting to be handed a small phial of fairy dust. "One speck of fairy dust is all you'll need for most tasks you'll get, unless you become a yellow fairy." Dad stopped where he was, looking outside at the sun's position. "And it looks to be getting late. Time for you young fairies to go home for supper with your families, and it's my time to go home as well." Tayla stayed with us until everyone else left, reluctantly flying the other way towards her home. "Well, Loraine, are you ready to go see what your mom has spent the day doing?"

"Of course!" I gently pushed dad outside, ignoring his teasing complaints. "Do you like being a white fairy?" I asked him, probably for the umpteenth time, as we walked home.

"We're fairies, Loraine, it's what we do. Those who are assigned to do something they like to do are the lucky ones. But I can promise you one thing. Whatever color you're picked for, it won't be something you dislike. You can ask your mom when we get home. There has never been a Fairy who disliked their job." We walked up to our door, waving at the small flower we had growing there. Our house was much closer from dad's work than from my school.

Mom walked in a few minutes after we did. She walked over to dad first, giving him a kiss before turning to face me. "So how was school today? Field trip, right?"

"Yes ma'am. It was today and tomorrow. Tomorrow we're going to see where you work. Is it exciting?"

Mom laughed, my dad smiling to match. "No dear, I'm afraid not. None of the departments are terribly exciting, and mine is no exception. But you ought to learn something while you're there, and that counts for something. Did you find a color you'd like to be today?"

"Not really. I don't really care what I do, as long as it's not green." I made a face, but they both simply smiled. "Tomorrow we're going to go to the red, yellow, brown, and blue buildings."

"Those are some important ones. Just make sure you behave. And get Tayla to as well, I know how you two are." At least it seemed Aunt Adria hadn't had anything to tell her. She would have mentioned that. Instead, she just fixed supper, and we had a nice normal evening.

Miss Linnette started the trip the next day much earlier, barely calling role before they left out for their first stop. Nothing particularly stood out about the red dome to Loraine. It was just as the others had been, a deep red coating on a round structure. But when their guide stepped out this time, a few of the guys had issues reclaiming their ability of speech. "My name is Maybelline," the red fairy told them with an amused smile on her face. "I am the head of this department. If you will just follow me, I will be your guide while you are here."

The smell inside was almost as strong as the green dome, but not in the same sense as the other. Whereas the green dome had smelled pungent, as of decay, this place smelled fresh, as if it was washed by rain every night. "There are several steps to the process we do here. It's a constant loop. Taking the recycled material of old broken hearts that have been sent back, it's the head of the department, which in this case is me, new ones are made. I don't know why it falls only to the head until he or she picks a replacement, but that is how it has been, and how it shall be." The fairy shrugged, and walked around to a different station.

"Here is where the newly made hearts are to await their new host. We try to keep at least a couple dozen made up in advance of when they're needed, just in case something happens. Fairies take them from here to their new human, the old one is sent back, and so on continues the process, there's not terribly much to it."

"I have a question," one of the other girls called out. "Are the replacement hearts only for humans? What about everything else?"

"Well, I'm not sure exactly what you mean by everything else," Maybelline answered slowly. "But the short answer to your question is yes, they are just for humans. There are other creatures in the human world, but they're not under our care. I don't know why, I only know how things have been. And if you meant for us, we don't need any such service. Fairy love is eternal, unlike human emotions, which change quicker than anything else you could possibly think of."

Miss Linnette waited a moment while everyone processed the information before giving Maybelline a polite curtsey and turned to lead everyone back outside. The next place she led us to was not a dome like all the others. Instead it resembled more of the pictures of human buildings Loraine had seen in textbooks. The top was as flat, as were the sides. It was the largest of the buildings they'd gone into, and probably the largest in all of their world. The yellow fairy who came out of the building was clad in robes, rather than normal attire, as the other departments had been.

"My name is Loren," the yellow fairy announced, his tone dripping with a sense of importance. "If you will follow me, it is my honored duty to see you through the building." The atmosphere inside the yellow department was quiet and intimidating. Loraine felt the general presence of her class shrink as they walked along the large, but empty, room full of stands. "This is the courtroom. In the case of a misbehaving fairy, this is where events get settled. It hasn't been used for 60 seasons, but we maintain it constantly for the occasion it was built for."

Loren came to a stop in the next room. It wasn't a very large room, with a few tables and chairs, half covered in papers. It reminded Loraine of her mother's study. "In the case that something unexpected arises, we form an investigation to find out what happened and why. Usually in this we are joined by a few brown fairies who wish to document the occasion. The last time we formed an investigation was 21 seasons ago, when a young fairy disappeared from our midst. The issue was soon sorted through. it turned out the young girl had accidentally gotten into some fairy dust and ended up in the human world. Poor thing was very bewildered. Anyway, I digress. There is just one more room for showing."

There were a handful of other yellow fairies who looked up and smiled at the group as they entered. Even the girls were wearing the same robes as the guy, though in a slightly different size. "This is the main room. We have no specific name for it. Our world needs magical maintenance, and we are the ones who act as conduits. The greatest amount of our fairy dust goes here."

Not even Miss Linnette broke the silence around them that filled the place as she led the way out of the building. "Well, that was informative. Some of the yellow fairies may be a bit stuffy, but they are quite important, even if they aren't as prominent at times as some of the other departments. Well, we just have 2 more departments to visit. Then tomorrow you will all be sorted. I hope you guys are as excited as I was."

A few muttered about the colors they'd like to become. The path to the brown dome was one of the longer, the brown fairies often being ones who preferred seclusion. No one came outside to greet them, so they walked in on their own. The room was musty with the smell of old paper, though to Loraine it smelled a bit like home. Her mother was a bit of a workaholic, always bringing home extra things to learn. Loraine, despite having heard her mother's descriptions, stopped in her tracks as she walked through the entrance way. The walls were lined with bookshelves, even along the ceiling, where straps kept the books in their places.

Finally, after several shared moments of speechlessness, a small brown fairy noticed them and came over. "I do apologize for our absence in meeting you," the boy whispered, seeming slightly older than the rest of their group. Even the whisper shook and disturbed the stagnant air. "We loose track of time much too easily here. We don't have as much to show about what we do, but if you'll follow me, I will take you to my station." There were dozens of fairies sitting at various tables along the floor level, and he wove them a way near the left side of the entrance.

"There are 3 primary tasks we accomplish here. There are those of us who devote ourselves to reading and retaining a section of historical documents to be fountains of knowledge for whenever the need may arise. Then there are also those who record history. Most of the time we can simply write the events from here, but occasionally the events are important enough that we must go down and witness. It varies. The last task we do, which is not as well known, is to keep a copy of every literary work, both from here, and from the human world. No published work of the humans will ever go out as long as we are here. We will always maintain some of their culture, so their hearts will never truly loose it." The little fairy stated it with such pride, Loraine knew he must be one who did carried out the last task. Her mother did the first, and though she could certainly see its importance, it was much to monotonous to fit her.

Miss Linnette was positively beaming to herself as they walked out. "We are ahead of the schedule, and we only have one more place to visit for today. I don't know who it was who scheduled the order in which we took our field trip, but we've just had a couple of rather stifling ones in a row. So instead of going on to the blue complex, we're going to walk to the part for a little bit, before finishing off our field trip."

Tayla cheered rather loudly before launching herself at her friend. Loraine had to admire Tayla's restraint. It was hard for the two of them to be quiet normally, let alone in a room full of quiet, and yet Tayla had done it without complaint. They raced up ahead of their class, bouncing softly along the fluffy white cloud top.

"Loraine, I'll race you to the topsy pole!" Tayla called in a sing-song voice as she took the lead. The two girls shot into the air, rolling over a few times, laughing as they both touched the top at the same time. Tayla reached a hand out at the ribbon dangling alongside them. The most popular story about the pole was that it predicted what color fairy a child would become, and although proven wrong, everyone still looked.

"Girls!" Miss Linnette called out. "I need everyone to stay in close proximity. I'm still responsible for you guys, and I need you to stay where I can see you. Tayla instantly let go of the ribbon, forgetting even that she had it, but Loraine glanced over at it as her friend let go. White. Well, if there was going to be a 1 in 8 chance of getting any color, it might as well be one they were fine with. They returned back to their group, who mostly just talked until Miss Linnette judged they'd spent long enough there, and they continued on to their last stop.

"Hi! My name is Sharise and I will be your instructor while you're here!" The blue fairy greeted them before they made it to the door. The blue glow coming off the walls made her hair look all the more silver. She seemed almost as excited to be around them as they had been when the field trip first started. She spun around, and entered the building in front of them. "You know, the blue walls sometimes makes me feel like I'm underwater, even though that's not what we do." Sharise giggled and Loraine found herself smiling as well. It was nice to see someone being casual with them. Even her father had been putting on a show.

"Over here is where we fashion the nets. A special kind of magic makes it so that the gaps are so small that the water can't pass through but the air can. Of course, we have to make all different size nets. Oh, that wasn't how I was supposed to phrase it. Let's see, I was supposed to say, What we do here, is we collect water vapor in the air and form it into clouds. The clouds float along and eventually it falls as rain and we cycle of life going in the human world. Because everyone needs water. And if we didn't have clouds, what else would so readily adapt to our needs?"

The class milled about for a while, the sun still shining steadily outside, so Loraine certainly didn't feel any need to rush home. Her parents wouldn't be there until time, so it wasn't anything to worry about. They had several nets hung loosely on racks which everyone poured over. Every one of them seemed to be unique. No two clouds must be alike. Well maybe if they were made my the same net, but even then, things usually found a way to be different somehow. They all held a certain sparkle with the blue light illuminating them from within. Loraine was sure that if she had it outside, the netting would probably be a much different color, possibly even without a color such as the clouds themselves. But inside the dome, it just added to the brilliant blue cast over everything around them.

"Alright." Miss Linnette gathered everyone back together by the door. "Now, it's still a little early, but we're all done here, so you may go home. Remember, tomorrow is the day you will be sorted. It's nothing to be nervous about, and this time tomorrow, you'll have a second family you belong to. So, I will see you guys tomorrow." Their teacher made her exit, and they all thought about how they were possibly going to see her for the last time when they made their way to class in the morning.

"Good morning sweetheart," my mother called softly to me as she lightly shook me awake. "Today is your big day. Today you become a young woman." Her eyes brimmed with pride that even my half-asleep eyes could read. I got up slowly, stretching out my wings as they regained feeling. "We packed a snack for you to take."

"Thanks mom." I gave her a quick hug which she returned in earnest. Dad walked into the room and joined in an awkward group hug. "I know you two have to leave for work, so I guess I'll just see you for dinner then." It had never made much sense to me why their work started before my school, but it was the way things were. They bid me goodbye and set out, leaving me to change. It didn't really matter what I wore today. I'd have a new wardrobe by the end of the day, and since we'd already been to each department, it wasn't like it would be the first impression necessarily.

Everyone was already abuzz with excitement before I even entered the classroom. Tayla walked over to me immediately, her eyes positively glowing. "Loraine! Are you ready? Miss Linnette was here for a moment, then said she had forgotten something, so she'll be back any time. And then we get to know our color!" Her excitement faltered for a moment as she looked at me. "But we have to make sure we stay together no matter if we're in different colors."

"Of course we will," I tell her with a small smile. Of all the things to be worried or nervous about right now, that was not it. "We're friends, and friendship is as important as anything else. We'll have to work at it a little bit more now that we'll be adults, but we can do it."

Miss Linnette walked into the room, holding a small item wrapped in a grey cloth. "Will everyone please take your seats?" There was a flurry of activity as everyone crossed the room to their assigned seat. "You may come in now," she called and fairies of different colors entered. They must be here to collect us as we're sorted. The only one of them I know is Tayla's father. She pointed at a boy sitting in the front row. "Lavern, you'll be first."

The boy walked to the front of the room slowly. Miss Linnette set the cloth on her desk, unwrapping it to reveal a crystal flower. "The process is very simple," Miss Linnette told us, watching him approach closely. "All you have to do is put your hands on the crystal, and it will do the rest." The boy's side was to me, but I could still see him shaking as he reached his hands forward to touch the crystal. Nothing happened for a moment, and then a blue light grew in the center of it, and spread through the crystal, then disappeared, only to reappear a moment later, starting from his back to the tips of his wings. Now he was forever marked as a blue fairy.

One by one the desks emptied as their previous owners were assigned a color, and stood with the fairy of their department. "Tayla, it's your turn," Miss Linnette intoned. Tayla practically floated over to the crystal. Unlike many of the others, she wasn't nervous at all, simply excited. And I would be next after her. How could any of us not be nervous? But Tayla stood with her hands on the crystal, nothing but confident. A white glow claimed the crystal. A tooth fairy. For once the pole had been correct. Well, based on the last time they played anyway.

"Loraine." My name. It was my turn to be assigned. I got out of my seat, hoping I hadn't really flinched when the seat hit the desk a bit too loudly for my tastes. How had Tayla been so smooth on the way to the front of the room? But even reaching the front of the room was no salve to my nerves. I placed my hands on the crystal, surprised at how cold it was despite all the hands that had already been on it. I closed my eyes. Did it really matter which color it was? Whatever it was, I could accept it and do my job. But I would look silly if I didn't know which color group to go to. I opened my eyes as a kernel of color appeared. Red. I was to be a red fairy. I watched the color disappear from the crystal, and even though I knew the red would be changing my grey wings to red, I didn't feel a change. I guess I'm still simply the same person I've always been, I just have a color to me that states I'm an adult now.

The next name was called, and I walked over to where a few others had been chosen as red. Everyone around but the older fairies seemed to have a bit of a glazed expression. And why wouldn't they? Something about them made them the color they were, and it was a time of introspection. For most people anyway. I wasn't particularly curious about what it was the made me go red, I was merely relieved that it was over with. I now had a job, and that was all there is to it.

When the class populace had been completely emptied, it was time for the first days. The introductions. There were 3 other new red fairies who followed our guide out the door with me. Instead of going straight to the red dome, as I had expected, our guide took a detour to a much smaller red building. Inside, it was just a closet. Clothes in varying styles and sizes littered the floor, though some were simply hanging up, by some organized fairy, I'm sure.

"Alright, before we go to our department, you need a change of clothes. You want to make a good first impression on everyone there." She took the boy to the side, working with him first. I picked a rack of clothing, and halfheartedly shuffled through the clothing there, looking for what seemed to call out to me. Nothing in particular stood out, though as I put my hand on the next dress, I felt a hand on my shoulder. "I'm sorry," the lady told me as I jumped, "but you're next!" She looked at the dress I held and made a face. "That's not really you. Let's see what we can find."

I was handed half a dozen dresses and told to go try them on, pointing me to a dressing room. The first outfit was a little big on me, but otherwise fine. I walked out to demo it for her, and she smiled at me. "Yeah, it's a bit loose," she commented, pinching the sleeves as she tucked at it. "But these clothes all have magical properties. They've been passed on from fairy to fairy for years. They'll change to be the size of the owner. So that's not something we have to worry about." The older fairy stared at me for a moment, then nodded to herself. "Go change into the next, I'm going to go get another outfit I saw."

She didn't show it to me until after I'd tried on the other outfits she had pulled out earlier. They were all fine, but nothing special. Amongst fairies, we didn't see much need for differences. But the dress she pulled out was about as different as we got. The sleeves were long and particularly wide, split in the middle from my elbow down, but they didn't extend over my shoulders. The back was covered in a red lace the allowed my wings proper freedom of movement. The skirts were long, but at least I wouldn't be tripping over them. I slowly stepped out of the dressing room, watching as a smile lit up on the red fairy's face.

"You look great! That's what you should wear in today. While I help the others, you should go find some accessories." I turned to do as she said, but she caught my arm turning me back towards her. "I'm Raine. If you ever need help, you can turn to me. Especially if it involves clothing." She smiled at me again, and I felt myself return it.

"My name's Loraine. Thank you very much, you've been so nice." The girl shrugged, as she picked the next girl away from the pile she was sorting through. Now I had to find wherever it was accessories were at. I would need new shoes. Would I need anything other than shoes? Probably not. I found a suitable pair of slippers, and returned to where the boy was sitting. He had sat behind me in class, but I couldn't recall his name. Oh well, I would probably learn it if we ever had to work together. I had enough to take in for the moment. I closed my mind and left it drift while we waited, the background noises fading away. I drifted to my hideaway. The front door was now red. It hadn't been that way before. I suppose my hideaway would change with me. I walked in, closing the door against the other blackness in my mind. The first place I went was to my bedroom, where I knew there was a full length mirror. But there wasn't anything reflected there. Maybe I had to accept my changes before I could know who I was. That made sense. I opened my eyes to see the other two girls sitting along with us. "Where's Raine?" I ask them. If the lady was done with us, why weren't we leaving?

"She said she was getting one last thing for us," the girl to my right answered as the other shrugged. The woman quickly appeared back before her charges, ribbons firmly looped around her hand. She fussed with our hair for many moments, pulling our hair into a semblance of order before tying it there with the ribbons.

"Now we're ready to go." Raine's eyes glowed with satisfaction. I hoped I looked half as good as she seemed to think I did. The other girls surely looked better though. One was simply wearing a shirt of varying reds, with pants, and the other was wearing a plain short dress in a border-line pink shade of red. They looked gorgeous. We rounded the corner we'd gone past, and came up to the red dome. Well, this was it.

Raine led the way in. A few inside stopped what they were doing to welcome us. One by one, my former classmates left us as a fairy stepped up and claimed to be their trainer. "Now who is this lovely girl?" I turned around to see a boy with brown hair and a red suit walking towards us. His question seemed aimed at Raine, so I took a step back so I wouldn't be in between the two of them.

"Loraine, this is Mister Flirty Butt. He says the same compliments to all the girls. You can't believe a word he says. He thinks the suit validates him and gives him charm." Raine rolled her eyes, but he just seemed to just shake off her words with but a blink of the eye, taking the last step up to me.

"Loraine. That's a beautiful name. My name is Don, despite what Raine will tell you. Do you have a mentor yet?" His blue eyes stared deep into mine as he took my hand and I blinked nervously. How was I suppose to react?

"Yes, she does." Raine yanked his hand away from mine. "I'm taking her on. So you can just go back to working, as any decent fairy would do." Don bowed and smiled, before winking at me as he turned to go. "Well, you're in for a treat." Raine turned me towards a different part of the dome. "I don't normally do any more with new members other than dress them, but I wasn't about to leave you to Mister Flirty Butt's tender charms." She snorted, the most unladylike thing I'd seen her do. "I'd rather fall out of the sky then let my brother have his way." Her brother? Well that certainly explained a few things. "Now, let's get you an area, so we can start your training fresh in the morning."
