Hailey & Fraser’s Stories

I was joking with Wonda last night that I wanted to write a kid’s story - she said maybe I should write one about Hailey and Fraser. This is somewhat what I came up with .. a two view story overview.. two novellas rather than one novel. I just don’t do twining views well.

Hailey’s Story

- Hailey is in her back yard bored and grumpy because her brother is at Lacrosse Camp and she’s BORED.
- She is startled to find a butterfly buzzing her head and she tries to convince it to land on her hand. Surprised it does, she sees the little fairy warrior.
- The fairy says he’s looking for Fraser (”the mighty child warrior”) and Hailey is most put out. Fraser, Fraser, why’s it always about Fraser? She says he’s not here but SHE can help.
- The fairy is doubtful about a little *girl’s* help, but offers to take her through to Faeland. Hailey runs to ask her mother for permission. Wonda says no, she can’t leave the yard right now, but if she wants to go out for dinner later.. Hailey huffs and runs back to the fairy. Mom’s are just so inconvenient! She tells the fairy she’s not allowed to go, the Fairy disappears.
- Hailey is miffed. Why does her BROTHER get to have all the fun and cool stuff happen? She’s the elder, she should get some cool stuff too!

- A female fairy appears the next day when Hailey is once again in the backyard and asks for Hailey’s help. Hailey is very happy to offer her help and asks what she can do.
- The fairy asks if she has any spare food or blankets, there’s lost of evacuee’s during this time of war and they’re running out of *everything* Hailey says they (her family) have LOTS of stuff and why don’t the injured and scared come here? She remembers the evacuation ’cause of all the flooding and that was No Fun and everyone needs somewhere warm and dry to go.
- In after thought she asks her Mom if it’s okay to host the fairy injured and families. Mom says whatever dear. Hailey decides not to extrapulate and works on clearing the loft of the barn for her visitors. The fairies arrive in various states of injury and emotional disarray, Hailey quickly fetches the first aid kit and starts helping the fairy healers.
- Over the next few days Hailey battles injuries, fairy dispair, comes up with games for fairy children and even delievers a couple of fairy babies!
- The fairy messangers bring word that the goblins are in retreat and maybe everyone will get to go home soon.
- That evening a couple of goblins come out of the portal and Hailey wades into teach those nasty bullies what for! Her brother appears through the portal to find the goblins to save her .. and she’s already saved herself and those in her care. The fairies all pack up and go home while Hailey asks what Fraser thinks he’s doing leaving his lacrosse camp without his parents permission.
