Searching Cumberland

  Ginger got back to the tree house and found Keiko reading the fishing magazine and Amelie trying to figure out one of the cook books. Hi Ginger, how did dance class go today? asked Keiko. Oh it went great and made some more money see. Then she put the bag on the table. Oh good, said Keiko. Ya but Alieta is in trouble now from some chameleon sorceress thing, said Ginger. Really Chameleon we stay away from her, said Amelie. She is a bounty hunter and is a Demi Demon I think. She can kill us. Oh so that is what it was, said Ginger. Well they said some girl named Yeanny was coming to help plus Zatsuky and Viridian so hopefully they can take care of things. Yep they will, said Keiko. So are we still going to Cumberland? Yep, lets go now, said Ginger. Okay good, said Amelie. I can't figure out this cook book anyways. Ginger smiled. Well I understand it, said Ginger. So where should we keep this money. Well take a bit with you just in case you need it then put the rest in the drawer over there, it is empty, said Keiko. Okay, said Ginger then the three of them headed out to Cumberland. So Ktara said that there was only two main towns in Cumberland, said Ginger. Ya so if she is there someone should know where she is, said Keiko. Well there is Cumberland so how do we find a town? It looks pretty big. I guess we fly over it untill we see a clearing, said Ginger. Ya okay, good plan, said Amelie. They kept flying and found a big clearing where the first town was located. They flew down and found that there was not a lot of people walking around like the towns in Fae Land. So where do we start? asked Keiko. Well lets go in a store and ask someone, said Ginger. Okay lets start with the first one. Do you think she might work in one of these stores? asked Amelie. Probably but what store, there are a lot of them, said Ginger. Well not this one that is for sure. It's a hardware store and I only see a man in there, said Keiko. Okay lets check the next one, said Ginger. Well this one says furtilizers and chemicals. Don't think a girl would work in there either, said Amelie. Might be stinky. They kept on checking each store untill they got to the last one that said Swimming Pools And Chemicals.

 They went inside and saw a woman looking at pools. Hello, we are looking for someone, said Ginger. Oh hello, wow three fairies. Well I don't work here, said the woman. The lady that worked there walked over and said, "Well I suppose you three are not looking to buy a pool". Don't be rude Patty, they are looking for someone, said the first woman. Oh okay so what is her name? asked Patty. Miyo I think, said Ginger. You think, so you don't know her that well then, said Patty. No I met her a while ago and we talked for a while. I know what she looks like though, said Ginger. Okay, lets try that then, said Patty. She has long pretty blonde hair, green eyes, she is about my height, maybe a bit taller. She has a tattoo on each ankle and one just below her belly button plus another one on her lower back, said Ginger. Hmm, she does sound familar, said Patty. I had a girl looking like that come in here looking for a job. Kinda a cute too but we have no jobs openings right now. Oh okay, so how long ago was that? asked Keiko. Oh about two weeks ago, said Patty. Now you might want to try the north town. They have been working on that town a lot but new stores have opened up there. I think I told her to try there also, said Patty. Oh thank you so much, said Ginger. So how do we get there from here? asked Ginger. Well just go around the corner here and you will see a road going north. It is about two miles away from here, said Patty. Oh okay, thanks again and they left. Well I have never seen fairies in here before, said Patty. Ya and the turquois one was very cute and well mannered. Didn't talk like a fairy either. Very good grammar, said the woman. Yes and very pretty too, said Patty... Okay so now we got a lead, said Keiko. I bet you she got a job in that north town. I hope so, said Ginger, lets go. They flew along the road and in a few minutes they were at the north town. Okay here is the town, said Amelie. Looks like men are still working on some places here. So there is a store that looks like it is opened, said Ginger. Lets go in there first. They walked in and saw a lady putting away some stock. Hello, how are you? asked Ginger. Oh my fairies. Well a lot better now, she said. How can I help you. Well we are looking for a girl that has blonde hair and green eyes and few tattoos. Oh you must mean Miyo then. Such a cute young girl. Too many tattoos for my liking but to each their own. Oh yes that is her, do you know where to find her? asked Ginger. Well yes, everyone knows Miyo in this part of Cumberland, she works in the corner store. All the boys are always going in there to see her. Very sweet girl and well spoken too, said the lady. Yes and she can sing too, said Ginger. She can sing, I didn't know that, she said. Well the corner store is up this street and on the corner. Well that makes sense, said Amelie. The lady smiled, yes and they sell those wonderful candies in there too. Oh Jessica's Candies. We go to her factory to get those candies. Fairies get them for free you know. Even Ginger gets them for free and she is a pixie, Jessica is very nice, said Keiko. Really, a pixie, she dosn't look like pixie, said the lady. So you three know Jessica too. Yep everyone knows Jessica in Fae Land, said Keiko. Well you three better get going because Miyo works the morning shift and will be getting off soon, said the lady. Okay we better fly, said Ginger then off they went.

  They got to the corner store and went in. A bell rang when they opened the door. Well I don't see anyone, said Keiko. Well if she is small like us then of coarse we won't see her over these tall shelves silly, said Amelie. Oh ya right, said Keiko. A girl came running around the corner. "Sorry I was putting some stock away in the center aisle". She paused for a moment. Ginger, is that you? What are you doing here? asked Miyo. Hi Miyo, I am looking for you, said Ginger with a big smile on her face. Me, really why? asked Miyo. Well the harvest festival is starting soon and I was hoping you could sing some songs with me and my dance team, said Ginger. You mean sing on stage with you? asked Miyo. Yes, you have a beautiful voice like me. We would sound great together, said Ginger. The store owner walked in and saw Miyo talking to three fairies. My Miyo, I didn't know you had friends that were fairies. Well Ginger is a pixie and she wants me to sing with her at the harvest festival, said Miyo. You can sing? asked the store owner. Yep and so does Ginger it seems, said Miyo. Oh ya, said Keiko. Alieta says she sings like an angel. Alieta, you mean the queen of all of Fae Land wants these two to sing at the festival. She is the queen of Cumberland too you know. So lets hear you two sing, said the store owner. Okay if you want. What song do you want to sing? asked Miyo to Ginger. The one you sang on stage at that festival where we first met, said Ginger. You remembered the words to that song? asked Miyo. Yes Pixies have very good memories. They both started to sing together softly at first then got louder as they went a long. People passing by could hear them and came into the store. Soon about ten people were in the store listening. When they finished the song everyone clapped. That was so beautiful, they all said. Well the queen wants them to sing at the festival, said the store owner. Yep and dance too with my team, said Ginger. You have a team of dancers too? asked the store owner. Yep Ginger and the two sisters from the palace and two heroes Ktara and Paisley plus Ivy. You have all of them dancing with you and even Ivy. That is a show I am not going to miss, said the store owner. Us either, said everyone else. So you best be getting to the palace and start practicing, said the store owner. But I have my shifts to work. I will cover for you dear, I can use the extra money, said one of the ladies. Oh okay I guess, but how do I get there? I have no horse and they got wings, asked Miyo. Well I have some extra horses so take mine that is around the back. You know which one it is, said the store owner. Now make us all proud of you! Miyo hugged her then left with Ginger, Keiko and Amelie. Working in a store like this is not for a girl with that kind of talent, said the store owner. She will make more money singing than what she makes in a month working here. So does anyone want to buy a box of Jessica's Candies. Just got a fresh batch in. You bet they all said.
