INT. LITTLE COTTAGE IN A MAGICAL FOREST. – DAY.

 

Blue Fairy (looking around): Huh, weird. My cousin left at the same time as me.

 

Blue Fairy shrugs and knocks on the large wooden door of the quaint, little cottage. Father Time opens the door and smiles.

 

Henry: Well, hello, there little one. Back so soon? Want some tea?

 

Blue Fairy: Oh, yes, please! Two sugar crystals, please.

 

Henry Time chuckles and carefully separates the sugar to only pick up two crystals of sugar and a drop of tea in his fairy-sized teacup for his friends.

 

Henry: So, where are the others?

 

Blue Fairy: Oh, right! Puck had to stay to chat with Justicia and Athena.

 

Henry: Wow, it’s been forever since I’ve heard about Athena.

 

Blue Fairy: Right?! Well, she’s also joining the reckoning, and since she didn’t decide to become an angel, she will provide some more resistance in a more leveled aggressive but resourceful manner, especially because Ares joined Satan and Trump.

 

Henry begins to laugh, and the Blue Fairy stares horrified.

 

Blue Fairy (cont’d): Pardon me, sir. But, I don’t find it funny.

 

Henry (wipes a tear): No, it isn’t really, but trust me the devil isn’t on Trump’s side or anyone’s other than its own.

 

Blue Fairy (ponders): Well, then my cousin was supposed to come with me, but I guess he took another path.

 

Another little knock is heard, and Father Time walks to open the door.

 

Henry: Must be him!

 

Red Fairy: Sorry I’m late! It started to rain on my path, and you know we have to be careful with our wings!

 

The Blue Fairy nods, and Father Time offers a doll size blanket.

 

Blue Fairy (excitedly): Okay! Now that we’re all here, we can deliver the good news!

 

Henry: Yes, please go on.

 

Red Fairy nods, and they both say it in unison.

 

Blue & Red Fairy: The reckoning meeting is scheduled to occur this Friday!

 

Henry: I’m glad to hear; I’ll let my cousin know.

 

Red Fairy: Won’t you ask us where?

 

Henry: It’s okay; we never tell each other where until it happens.

 

Blue Fairy (staring at her cousin): Come on, you know that Justicia was still working on it!

 

Red Fairy (avoiding eye contact): Right, of course!

 

Father Time heads back to his kitchen to grab some cookies. The Blue Fairy twirls coyly.

 

Blue Fairy: Would you like to know who else will be there.

 

Henry (slightly blushing): Well, I think it’ll be Justicia, my cousin, maybe Eros, -

 

Red Fairy (interrupting): Don’t forget Athena; I’m still shocked she chose to join.

 

Blue Fairy (dismissingly): Right, but so will you be there Mr. Time!

 

Henry (gently): Please call me Henry.

 

Blue Fairy (smiles): Okay, but seriously Henry, no one else comes to mind?

 

Henry blushes brightly now and turns on the T.V. only to reveal that he recorded the episode of M & A Talk. The Blue Fairy shrills in excitement, and the Red Fairy stares obliviously.

 

Red Fairy (nonchalantly): Oh, yeah Aphrodite won’t be able to be there, but I heard that Justicia invited her friend, Medusa. I think she said it was because –

 

Father Time blushes even more, gently covers his mouth with his hand, and softly grazes over his 5 o’clock shadow.

 

Red Fairy (shocked): You like MEDUSA?!

 

Both the Blue Fairy and Father Time stare at him.

 

Blue Fairy (confused): We’ve already previously established this.

 

Henry (blushing less): If you got to know her, you’d see how amazing she is.

 

Blue Fairy (giggles): So cute! Tell us, when did it begin?!

 

Henry (smiles): Well, we haven’t meet exactly. We’ve interacted a couple of times.

 

Red Fairy (bored): Oh, brother. All these time puns, but you don’t even know her.

 

Henry (chuckles): You’re both still young and new to this world. But, love is - (He sighs and chuckles.)

 

Blue Fairy: So, when did you first hear about her?

 

Henry (pensively): Well, sadly, I first heard about her tragedy.

 

Blue Fairy (sadly): Yeah, of course. That monster, Poseidon! Did you hear that he joined Ares with Satan?!

 

Red Fairy (defensively): Listen, Poseidon came crawling to –

 

Both Father Time and the Blue Fairy stare at Red Fairy, who goes silent, coughs, and whistles.

 

Henry: Like I was saying, I heard about her and felt sorry for her, but then something else happened.

 

Blue Fairy (intrigued): Please, continue!

 

Henry: I decided to help some women who survived abusive partners, and that was when I found out that she didn’t let her past and curse define her. She chose to help other women, too. She would be present at every Greek clinic.

 

Blue Fairy: She’s a badass!!

 

The Blue Fairy covers her mouth with a surprised expression; Father Time bursts out laughing, and the Blue Fairy smiles and starts laughing, too. The Red Fairy stares uninterested.

 

Red Fairy: So that’s it? You’ve seen her though, right?

 

Henry (hiding his anger): I don’t know what you mean, but I have seen her, and to me she’s the most beautiful person that I’ve ever seen.

 

The Blue Fairy punches her cousin’s shoulder, who then proceeds to self-sooth his arm.

 

Blue Fairy: Yeah, she’s really sweet, funny, smart, -

 

Henry: Beautiful, creative, has a captivating laugh and –

 

Red Fairy: Okay, okay. So annoying.

 

Blue Fairy: This isn’t like him; I’m sorry Henry.

 

Henry (shaking his head): It’s okay. Not everyone will get it.

 

Red Fairy sighs and grunts in disbelief.

 

Blue Fairy: Have you also dated someone before?

 

Henry (shakes his head): I learned about love from my books.

 

Blue Fairy (shocked): You can do that?!

 

Henry (chuckles): It was a foreign concept that I didn’t think would happen for me, but one book really taught me about love.

 

Blue Fairy (excited): Which one?! Ohh!! Which one?!

 

Henry goes to his bookshelf and gently holds his favorite story. Then he presents it to the two little fairies. The Red Fairy bursts out laughing.

 

Red Fairy (laughing loudly): The Little Prince?!?!!

 

Blue Fairy (horrified): Cousin, just because the pills are red, it doesn’t mean you have to consume their content.

 

The Red Fairy pouts. Father Time continues his explanation.

 

Henry: This book taught me the beauty of love; how your love can be a rose, and there will be other roses that you meet, but you never forget your first, true rose.

 

Blue Fairy (clapping her hands): Oh!! The rose is a metaphor for your first love; (squeals) aww, Medusa is your first love!!!

 

Frantic knocking is heard at the door. All three turn to face the door that magically opens, another fairy enters.

 

Red Fairy: Sorry, I’m late, everyone! You wouldn’t believe – Hey!

 

Red Fairy points at the fake Red Fairy, who gets angry and starts to undisguised himself.

 

Blue Fairy (horrified): Ewwww! What are you doing here?!

 

Satan: Oh whatever, so Medusa is pretty, but I’m not??!!!

 

Henry: I should’ve known you’d try to infiltrate our mission. Get out!

 

Satan: Oh whatever, y’all are boring anyway. I’ve got to go torture some of Trump’s goons. They’re more fun to fuck around with.

 

Blue Fairy (yelling): Get the HELL out!!!

 

Everyone stares shocked. Satan leaves angrily.

 

Red Fairy: Welp, I guess you all were okay.

 

Father Time rewinds the DVR.

 

Henry (smiling): So do you want to watch their first M & A Talk show episode?

 

Blue Fairy squeals of happiness and excitement, and the Red Fairy sighs and chuckles softly. They all find a seat and enjoy the show.

 

BLACKOUT.
