FAWM 2010 Song #29: "The Great Fairy Dust Shortage"

Seanye Warhol Happens Upon A Great Fairy Celebration

Seanye Warhol sat in his boat and drifted off to sleep as he floated gently down the stream. When he awoke, his boat had drifted into a small lake. Looking around where his boat had drifted ashore he saw what appeared to be a party with no one in attendance. There were bright lights all around, but no one was there. Then he realized that the lights weren't any regular lights, they were actually tiny fairies. He appeared to be right in the middle of a huge fairy party. He cleared his throat and asked one of the nearby fairies why they were celebrating so much. The fairy explained that they were celebrating the one year anniversary of the time they had been saved from near extinction by one of the bravest fairies in fairy history.

Seanye Warhol asked to see this brave fairy so he could hear her story. Her heart was so kind that even on this day to celebrate her, she took the time to tell her story to a stranger. About a year ago, the town of fairies had come very close to running out of fairy dust, the magical substance that allows fairies to fly and keeps their hearts alive and powered with pure joy and goodness. The fairies were all sure they were done for, but the one brave fairy decided she would travel to the ends of the earth to find more fairy dust. She traveled farther than any fairy had before, but she still could not find any dust. She grew tired and lay down on the ground, thinking she would die right there, but suddenly she felt strong. She looked up to see fairy dust falling from the tree above. She had found the mythical Ancient Fairy Dust Tree from which all fairy dust came. She carried as much fairy dust as she could back to her home and told them about the tree. She had saved her people from destruction, and they would forever celebrate her bravery. Seanye Warhol stayed at the party for a while, but knew that he had to move on. He thanked the fairies for their kindness, and the brave fairy gave him a pouch of fairy dust to use should he ever need it...
