23. Fairy believers

        We’ve been discovered.  Madison told Ms Weaverspell about the fairy and she believed her.  Can you believe that?  A chemistry teacher no less?  It amazes me how many people are willing to believe in fairies - even though they’ve never seen a fairy, never heard a fairy, never witnessed any evidence at all that fairies exist, never even known anyone that has seen nor heard a fairy; and yet they’re willing to believe in them.  I think some people just want to believe.  They long for the unseen, the mystical, the exotic; things that transcend the monotony of normal everyday life or the harshness of cold reality, something exciting and magical, something to ponder with wonder and feel good about.  We all feel that way to some degree.  I’m convinced a good number of people would be willing to believe in anything, if given any evidence at all - fairies, gnomes, leprechauns, elves, dwarves, vampires, ghosts, aliens, or whatever.  Now it’s going to be nearly impossible for me to keep the fairy a secret.

        As if things weren’t bad enough already, I surely didn’t need added troubles.  Things were already spiraling out of control - with gnomes staging raids on my house, being watched by hostile fairy warriors, the fairy prince planning some type of secret mind control mission with me as an unwilling ally, crows and rats infesting the area, Mom becoming increasingly suspicious, my enemy Major Unger breathing down my neck, my friends Madison and Westley becoming increasing worried, and my little fairy making hints that something big and awful is about to happen, which I don’t doubt.
