"The fairy council?" Simon asks. Rose floats over and sits on Simon's shoulder. "That's what I said, did I fucking stutter?" she asks, sounding uninterested. "No, I mean, what is it? Is it like a government?" "Of sorts." she says, still sounding utterly bored. "When every fairy reaches... ummm... I think it's 300 of your years... Somewhere around there. Whatever. When a fairy is of age, they are called before the council, and given a final 'learning assignment' before they're fully welcomed as an adult. I got sent, of all places, to earth, and to all people, to you. Alright? That enough information? Can we go now?" "Well, what is it that you're supposed to be learning?" Simon questions. Rose flies up and lands on Simon's head. "What was it? something..." she sits up and snaps her tiny fingers. "Oh yeah. Respect and politeness. Those two." "Well, that makes sense." Simon muttered under his breath.
"Hey!" Rose yelled, kicking him in the head with the back of her heel. "What's that supposed to mean, you whelp?" "A whelp?" Simon says, dumbfounded, "Did you just call me a whelp?" "And what of it?" Rose questioned, still with a little anger in her voice. "It's just... no one around here talks like that." Simon says, matter of factly. "Oh." Rose says, slightly surprised. "Use it all the time back home." she pulls his hair a bit, using it almost like a horse's reigns. "Can we get going now? Ya! Ya!" Simon sighs, thinking to himself about how troublesome this is going to get, but he ignores it. He finishes shopping, and drives back home.
------------
Most of the car ride was just a Q&A with Simon explaining the inner workings of cash registers and barcode scanners. They had moved onto explaining how cars work shortly after he pulls up into the driveway. Eventually he cuts off her questions.
"Look, we're at my house okay?" Simon says, pointing out the front window. "Then what the fuck are we waiting for, let's go!" she says, flying head first into the window. "Ow... those force fields are both way?" "They're windows..." Simon sighs... "We got a lot of work to do. But first, I'm gonna need you to get in this bag." Rose looks at the bag, then back at Simon. "And why the fuck would I do that?" Simon explains that most people wouldn't be so excepting of a fairy just existing, that the government is always looking for different things to experiment on, and other reasons that she should hide in the bag for Him to sneak her in.
"Alright, alright." Rose finally says. "I'll play along with your silly plan for now." "Yeesh, friends always told me people were intolerant, I didn't think they were being so serious." Simon picks up the bags for Henry in one hand, that bag with Rose in the other, and quickly carries them both into the house.
Simon thows Henry's bag at him and tries to hurry to his room, but Henry calls after him. "Yo. Where the hell you going so fast?" "Uhh... to my room," Simon responds, "I'm gonna take a nap before classes." "Right, right." Henry says, looking down at the bag still in Simon's hand. "What's in the bag?" "Oooooh you knoooooow." Simon drags on, trying to think of something convincing. "Some... magazines." Henry laughs. "If you gotta fap man, you can just tell me you know. We're all adults here." "Right, right." Simon says, laughing along nervously as he shuts his bedroom door behind him.
As soon as he gets into his room, Rose busts out of the bag. "Gah!" she exclams, "glad that's over and I can finally bre - ukk. Smells like fucking dragon breath in here." "Yeah. Someone pissed in the next room over last night." Simon explains. "Is... is that common?" Rose asks. "No. No! God no!" Simon exclaims. "We have proper removal systems for that... sorta thing. This person was just really drunk. "Drunk?" Rose asks quizzically, "The fuck is a 'drunk'?" Simon just stares for a second. "You know, I don't have time to explain everything right now." He finally replies "I have to go to class pretty soon, are you okay staying here?"
"Uhh, that's a negatory." she replies. "Getting to far away from you results in an instant failure of the exercise, which would result in my exile. Unfortunately for me, I'm stuck with boring old you." "So, what are we going to do?" Simon asks. "Oh. That's an easy one." she gives off a stupid grin. "I'm a fairy, unlike you silly humans, we can actually tap into the energy flowing in the world around us." Simon rolls his eyes, "English?" he asks. "I'm a fucking fairy." She says, slightly annoyed. "I can use friggin' magic. It's easy." you see random green sparks begin to fly off her finger tips "Wikki dikkie friggin doo." she says, mockingly.
"So, what's your plan?" Simon asks. "Oh." she says, "I was thinking about...
