Pasante sat sobbing. "Even the WORM has abandoned me, I am a loser, just like everyone says." He cried. "I am So pathetic." Then a slight wind started, and a tinkling filled the air. He gasped. "It's the Significant Moment fairy!! I knew you were real!!"
"Yes," she replied flirtily, "I am real." "Oh, wow! I am at a loss! Whatever can I say in front of such a dazzling beauty?" sputtered the scorpion. "Well Pasante," she cooed, "You can start by complementing me on my shoes." "They are indeed lovely, but completely outshone by your -- Wait, you know my name?" Dramatic music started getting louder in the background. "But of course. Don't you remember me?" With a dramatic gasp, Pasante stumbled forward. "Could it be -- Giovina?"
------ Farthe retraced her steps, inch by inch, squirm by squirm. Eventually, she outed where the real Swibble had taken residence. "Why am I not suprised." she said. "I was kidnapped and you go find a bloody larder. Did you even attempt to look for me?" Swibble said, "So that crazy glitter lady was right after all..."
"Oh really. A crazy glitter lady? And you expect me to believe that?" "Well, yes, actually," Swibble lazily retorted, "She was acting a lot like you, and when I told her so, she got mad. I really don't know why. But she left glitter all over the turkey." Farthe peered into the fridge. Sure enough, the turkey was glitterfied. Her eyes glistened. "Do you know what this means?" she wailed. "No." "It means I missed the Significant Moment Fairy! We MUST find her and be blessed by her significance!" With that, she dragged poor Swibble away from the fridge.
Swibble huffed, "Why are we trying to find this lady? Why does she matter?" "Don't you know? She is the most important fairy of all, she only talks to those who are important." Farthe said in reverential tones. "Wow. What a snob." Swibble commented. "So why do we want to meet her again?"
"Because I want to be important and covered with glitter!" she screeched, waving around a random knife that she found. "If you roll around on the turkey, you'd be glittery," Swibble volunteered helpfully. "Arggg! You just don't get it!" With an overly dramatic twirl, Farthe accidently sliced her friend in two. She stared. "Um, didn't mean to do that. Now, I MUST find the Significant Moment Fairy, so that she may restore you to health! Or something like that."
Swibble croaked out, "Stuff my guts back in, will you? Then put super glue on top to seal it up. That's better than dying with some fairy's blessing. Isn't it?" "Yes, but you RUINED the moment. I was trying to attract her by creating a significant moment with you... I guess it's too late for that now." Softly, he sobbed, "I'm sorry, Farthe." ------- "Man, I have a stupid call", Giovina groaned. "Why do they always choose the most inconvenient moments? Why can't I have my own moment... with you?"
Pasante wept uncontrollably. "You will return, won't you?" he wailed. "Of course," she said soothingly, "Just have to deal with some lower life forms right now." With a 'poof' of glitter, she vanished. ----- Farthe looked at Swibble's guts, then at a roll of duct tape. "Maybe I should --" she started saying, but was cut off by the sound of dramatic music. She squealed. "Could it be - The Significant Moment Fairy?"
"Duh. Now I need to do what here? Sprinkle glitter or something, I assume." she sighed, "This job is monotonous...." But, miss, I want you to help me, I need you to heal this tubeworm. he's wounded and dying, please help him." Farthe started to cry, with tears rolling down her body. "Okay, there ya go, he's healed. Bye." she poofed out. Then she came back. "Let me see him again please."
With a disbelieving glare, she looked at Swibble. "You're the guy who was mean to me earlier!" she shrieked indignantly, "And I healed you?" Furiously, she towered over both of them. "You two worms tricked me! Oooooh, I'm going to make you PAY. I'm going to turn you into the nastiest things I can think of." "Like tapeworms?" volunteered Farthe helpfully.
"Exactly!!" she triumphantly said. "Tapeworms, here you go!!" she pulled out her fairy wand and then lowered it. "Wait a second, you are already tapeworms. You tried to trick me!!!" "Sorry," Farthe said, "It's just,... I like being a tapeworm. We have such simple lives, no responsiblities or worries...." She sighed, "I'd rather just try to squeek by on my miserable little life, instead of having to deal with being important and making decisions." "Really? Then I know the perfect punishment for you..." Pasante grinned evilly. "Ready to become human?"
"Sure," yawned Swibble, feeling like he should say something, "As long as I am able to eat, I don't care what I am." The fairy's grin grew wider. "Oh, I know what to do with you." She waved her wand in a complicated manner, and 'poof!' Farthe and Swibble were humans. But Swibble had another surprise. "What? I'm a GIRL??"
