Photo Story: A Lizard and a Fairytale
July 28, 2006
Alex: Hey there, Rayna, what's up?
Rayna: Not much.
Alex: You know, that was a really cool thing you did for Toby and Shelby. I've never seen Toby happier. Helping them get together like that was really nice.
Rayna: Aw, thanks! But it was really nothing, I just did what any friend would do.
Alex: What have you got there? Two lizards? I thought you only had one?
Rayna: Well, I did just have Iggy, but one of my old pirating friends sent this little guy to me because she couldn't take care of her anymore, so I guess I have two now...
Rayna: ...Hey...I just had a thought. You don't have a pet or anything like that, would you like to have this little lizard for your very own?
Alex: Oh, wow, I don't know...
Rayna: Oh, come on! It'll be great for you, I know all about taking care of lizards so I'll help you with anything you need. Everyone should have a pet.
Alex: Well, if you don't mind, sure I'd love to have a pet! You really are nice.
Alex: He's really cute! What's his name?
Rayna: It's a "she" and she doesn't have a name yet. You can call her whatever you want.
Alex: Oh, it's a girl? How can you tell...?
Rayna: I'll tell you later...*giggle*
Meanwhile in another part of the room...
Paige: Roxanne! Your hair looks fabulous. By the way, giving up your old wig to Shelby like that was a really nice thing to do. She looks lovely and it's all thanks to you.
Roxanne: Oh, thank you, but I thought she looked lovely before...plus I like this new wig so much better for me so it just worked out for everyone.
Paige: Oh, Shelby's always been lovely...you know what I mean.
Roxanne: Heh, yeah.
Paige: I have something for you. It's very special and I want you to have it. *shows teddy bear*
Roxanne: *gasp* Oh, wow, that's is so cute...and for me? You shouldn't have!
Paige: Yes, I should. Let me tell you about this bear, it's very special...*hands bear to Roxanne*
Paige: See this star on it's belly?
Roxanne: Oh, yes.
Paige: That's a fairy star, it represents the morning star, you know, the first star you see at night. The star on the bear grants three righteous wishes to the owner. My mother gave me the bear and I've used my wishes already so I want you to have it now.
Roxanne: Oh, I love it! Thank you so much...but he won't give wishes anymore, will he?
Paige: In fact, he will. If the bear is given to you by a fairy then each time he is given the receiver can claim three wishes. My mother was a fairy and she gave it to me. Since I'm giving it to you, you can claim three wishes whenever you want. Use them carefully though, once they are gone you can't get them again.
Roxanne: But...you're not a fairy... *confused*
Paige: Are you sure...? *walks away with mysterious smile*
Roxanne: ...Oh...my...
