Welcome to Gaia! ::

A small figure crept quietly down a dark corridor into an ancient chamber, where potions and magical items lined the walls. He knew that if he were caught, he would be in a world of trouble. But this time will be different! he assured himself. I've learned so much more since that mix up with the brooms. This is my chance to prove that I CAN get this magic thing right. He shuddered at the memory. Carefully, he opened the cabinet where the Sorcerer kept his hat, the source of his power. Looking at it reverently for a moment, he gingerly took the powerful hat in his hands and placed it on his head. Instantly a warm feeling flooded over him as the hat filled his little body with power. Opening a dusty tome full of ancient spells, he whispered the strange words carefully, a hint of a tremor in his voice. He felt the hat responding to the words and then...nothing. Nothing happened. Somewhere nearby a door slammed and the apprentice jumped. Without time to figure out what had gone wrong, he scrambled to put the hat back in it's cabinet and the book on the shelf. Then, he ran up the staircase leaving his attempt at magic all but forgotten.

Forgotten to him, at least. For, despite the fact that he could not see that his magical endevors had been successful, somewhere, far away, the effects of his spell were being felt by a truly interesting band of characters...

Rani looked around the room she was with the mermaids in neverland and next thing she closed her eys for a bit and was her. Rani was scared and she felt like cryin she wanted to be her friends. As Rani wiped she heard someone voice it souned like Tinker Bell "Tink is that you?' Rani said as she tried to look around the room for a sign of her friends

The Blue Fairy's eyes fluttered open and she groaned softly. The last thing she remembered, she had been in the process of turning poor Pinocchio into a human child. Then...nothing. Now, as she looked around, she realized with a start that she was far from the little cottage where the puppet lived with his father. Something had gone terribly wrong. She lay in a heap on the floor (most unlike her typical graceful stature). Sitting up carefully, she was shocked to discover that her sparkling blue dress was gone. In it's place, she wore a dark blue dress with a black bodice and gold trim. She gasped when she saw that there were two slits up the sides that showed her legs. "I look like a common bar maid!" she cried.

Shaking the thought for the moment, she studied the room around her. It appeared to be a sitting room which had not been used in ages. Tattered curtains adorned the windows and dust blanketed every surface. The looming shadows made her uncomfortable and instinctively she reached for her wand. "My wand!" she gasped. It was no where to be found. "I have to find it! Otherwise, I can't use my powers and I'll be stuck in this place forever!" She rose from the floor, dusted herself off, and proceeded toward the first door she saw, determined to find her wand and leave this place as soon as possible.

Wendy yawned stretching her arms in the air, she had been napping after a morning of playing pirates and spacemen with the lost boys, They'd split into two teams the 'pirates' headed by Peter who had dressed themselves up in some of the gear they'd stole from Hook over the years and the 'Space Men and a lady' headed by Wendy, with laser guns made of sticks and string. The point of the game was to catch as many of the other team and lock them in your base so you could eventually capture the leader. Whoever's leader was captured lost. This time, Wendy's team won.

She blinked removing sleep from her eyes and looking around...something felt off. She was in a bed...but is wasn't the same bed she'd fallen asleep in, this one was big and dusty, the whole room was dusty she looked around catching her reflection in a cracked mirror across the room and let out a terrified shreik, the face looking back at her was the same....but her hair and eyebrows were so different, her clothes too and her ears were pointed and long. "What's going on!" she said allowed bringing her hand to her face...she looked positively alien.

The first door that the Blue Fairy opened was a closet. She was cautious as she turned the knob, but that didn't stop a mountain of junk from falling down over her. She sat in a heap on the floor, surrounded by dusty items that looked as though they hadn't been touched in ages. Old hat boxes, newspapers, moth eaten garmets and broken toys all surrounded her. Tossing aside a pair of old shoes, she stood up from the dusty floor for the second time in just a few minutes. As she took a step, trying not to trip over the items from the closet, her foot collided with a round object and it rolled across the floor. Looking closer, she let out a sob. She had kicked a wicked looking doll's head across the floor. Though the hair was matted and tangled from years of use followed by more years of neglect, the eyes were bright and seemed to follow her. It's piercing gaze made her shudder and she choked back a scream as she hurried from the room.

This time she found herself in a hallway and slammed the door behind her, shutting away that horrid doll and it's wicked eyes. Leaning against the door, she let out a sigh. Oh, what am I going to do? she thought desperately.

The Blue Fairy whirled around. "Who's there?" she called. Being without her wand made her feel vunerable, small. It was the source of her power, without it, she felt helpless and frightened. She couldn't even use it to illuminate the darkened hallway. "Please! If someone is there, answer me! I mean no harm!"

Tinkerbell squeezed through the keyhole, only having a problem when her hips tried to get through. ((OCC:Movie reference FTW!)) She finally made it through and fluttered up to the desk, passing by a cracked mirror and having to do a double take. She was in a strange costume.

Not her normal green dress. It had a skirt with stars on it wrapped around her waist and gold bangles around her wrists. Her stomach was exposed and she wore a top that had loud golden bells around it. Tinkerbell could see that her shoes were golden and curled at the toes. Despite the absurdity of it all, she still liked the bells a bit. She smiled despite herself, but shook it off quickly. Rani no longer had any wings and mostly hung out with the mermaids, so she would need Tink's help.

"Rani!" Tinkerbell landed on the desk and ran to her, hugging her tightly. She leaned back about to say something about her own strange dress when she saw Rani's. "What in the name of the second star are you wearing? What am I wearing? Do you know where we are?"

Cinderella awoke in a very uncomfortable position with her head throbbing as if she had fallen on something very hard. The last thing she remembered was giving her prince a kiss good night and falling asleep beside him. But this was definitely not her bed and she couldn't see anything but darkness. Feeling around in the darkness she could feel that she was in...what felt like...a bath tub. Feeling around some more, she felt a lot of dust and even some webs Ewww Webs!! she thought, but she was now sure she was lying with her feet hanging out awkwardly in a very old bath tub, that apparently hadn't been used in ages. Feeling stiff, she clumsily pushed herself out of the tub. Her eyes finally adjusted to the darkness and she could make out some of the objects around her.

Had she been kidnapped? Did someone want the prince to pay a ransom for her? At that moment she realized she was holding something "....ah crap" she muttered under her breath realizing what it was, a broom. "Someone is mocking me...it's been years since I last held a broom..." Her cleaning days were far behind her, annoyed, she put the leaned the broom against the corner of the tub I'm not going to escape with a broom... she thought. It was only then she was aware that her clothing was different as well. Feeling herself up, she realized she was in a some sort of costume with a pointed hat. It was comfortable, and when she did escape, the hat would make excellent shelter from rain and the sun, so she decided to keep it with her.

The bathroom was very large, and Cinderella tripped over several benches and clothes baskets before she found the door. Relieved that the door wasn't locked, she twisted the door knob and then heard "SWOOOOSH" behind her. Scared out of her mind Cinderella quickly turned with her back on the door "Who's there!?!" she yelled, but no one responded and she saw nothing until she felt something hard tap her gently on her shoulder. The broom was standing on it's own and right next to her.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cinderella and the broom both took off in separate directions of the bathroom. There was nothing to hide behind so Cinderella ran to the corner of the room and picked up a laundry basket to use as a shield and something to throw. The broom flew to the other side of the room and hid behind a curtain. But Cinderella could see where the broom the hid because the curtain was shaking.

Shaking?

With the basket still positioned defensively in front of her, Cinderella walked slowly to the shaking curtain. "Ummmmm a-are you s-scared?" Cinderella said with a shakey and almost unsure voice. I'm talking to a broom! she thought internally. The broom peaked its handle from outside the curtain and moved back and fourth as if to say yes

"Are you not from this place either?"

This time the broom completely came out from the curtain and twisted itself from left to right no


Cinderella slowly put the basket down. "Do you have any idea where we might be?"

the broom lifted 5 bristles on it's left and right side as if to say I don't know (OCC: The broom will only be able to say Yes, No, I don't know, and point directions with it's bristles, rather than describing what "he" does every single time I'll use the brown dialogue, but I wanted you to get a picture of how he responds and know that he's not actually talking)

"Want to see if we can find a way out together? I don't know about you, but I don't want to walk around this dark and scary place by myself" The Broom then spun excitedly around Cinderella Yes
"Excellent! I'm Princess Cinderella, it's a pleasure to meet you Broom!" Cinderella curtsied and Broom bowed. "I guess we should be off then, stay close"

Cinderella then walked back to the door. Opening it slowly, she saw a dimly moonlit large hallway with red carpet. Looking back to assure that Broom was floating behind her, Cinderella and Broom started making there way down the hallway.
