Once upon a time there were two little kids named Jesse and Mary Sue¹. They were brother and sister. Their mom and dad had divorced years ago. And their dad now was seeing someone else. She was cruel to them behind their father's back. She said if they got married, she would make their life's miserable² from the moment. 

 

One day their dad called them into his room. When they got in there he told them to sit on the bed, then he said "There's going to be a new member in the family and a lot of changes too. What I'm trying to say is I'm getting married". "What", they said. "Quite the surprise isn't it?" said their father. "Father you can't it'll ruin our family tree", said Jesse. "Well I'm sorry kids but I love her, before their father could say anything more they ran out of the house and let the door slam behind them".                  

 

              

After walking a while, they finally stopped and realized they were a long way from home in a part of the neighborhood they had never seen before. There were fairies as beautiful as princesses' birds with the rainbow colors on their feathers all different kinds of animals, beautiful butterflies and the most unexpected fairies they thought they'd only see fairies in there Fairy Tale books. 

 

It soon became dark, Jesse and Mary Sue had fallen asleep on a rock. When Jesse and Mary Sue woke up in the morning, they saw that all the animals were lying next to them. After they'd been there a while the animals bird and fairies started asking how they found their way there. The children told the truth, they said they'd gotten mad that their father was getting married to a women they didn't like so they ran away and when they stopped they were there. After telling them that the animals said they were glad they found their way because now they had someone to play with. 

 

Then they introduced the princess of the fairies, her name was Patty. Her dad, the king of the fairies, called her Patty the Pooh. She was very pretty, she had short Blonde hair with a crown made out of gold and an outfit³ fit for a princess. The princess said she had good news, one of the fairies was going to have a baby fairy. Everyone congratulated her. Then she went on, we found out a few weeks ago but we didn't want to jinx it. Everyone congratulated her again and went to bed. The next morning she had the baby. She decided⁴ to name her Julia. When she turned one and was able to walk Jesse and Mary Sue were still there. It was Saturday when Jesse and Mary Sue were about to leave and then they heard a familiar voice and decided to stay for another night.

 

 

Early in the morning the next day, they heard it again so they got out of bed to see were it was coming from, but on there way out of Fairyland, they woke up. Julia liked to go on adventures so, of course, she wanted to come with them. So the three went to see were the voice was coming from, they followed the voice to a cave and peeked⁵ inside. Jesse and Mary Sue could not believe what they saw. It was their step mom, she was talking to someone but they weren't sure whom it was. Julia knew who it was. 

 

Mary Sue and Jesse asked Julia who their step-mom was talking to. It's the demon⁶, she replied, he has a son too. When he gets older he'll do what his dads doing, His dad is very evil. Years ago everybody in fairyland challenged him. They said whoever won got the land and the other person had to go some were else. And the demon lost so he had to move out here. But why would our step-mom be talking to him that sounds really weird⁷. Maybe she's a demon too, said Jesse. No I don't think that could happen, said Julia, but maybe because nobody knows who's the little demons⁸ mother. Julia continued, we have to get home and warn daddy, Mary Sue said.
