Fairy Tale

By Cat

Jack tried to fly as fast as he could. "Jen, where are you going?" He yelled. "JEN!"

Jen slowed down so Jack could join her. "What?" She asked, annoyed.

"We can't go that far Jen. Grams told us. The big people live there. They are humans down the creek."

"So what? I'm not afraid!" She looked at Jack in a superior air. "You're such a wimp!"

"No I'm not!" Jack retorted. "I am reasonable. It's not the same thing. The humans could capture you and kill you Jen."

"As if! I fly way too fast for them to catch me!" Jen answered as she flew away.

"Jen! Don't go! Please..." But it was too late. Jen was already gone and she couldn't here Jack anymore.

Jen arrived at Capeside. No one was outside. It was dark and the entire town was asleep. Jen saw a light coming from a window. She flew to it. The sight shocked her. A human was eating another human. She watched for a few minutes. It was weird. The girl human didn’t seem to mind at all. The guy left the girl’s mouth and the girl got up. She smiled at him and said goodbye. She went to the door and the guy followed her. They talked a little but Jen couldn’t hear them. She tried to open the window. The girl left but Jen didn’t notice. She was concentrating too much on her task. Finally, she succeeded. She pushed the window so hard that she fell on a glass on the coffee table. The glass fell and she fell with it. She trapped herself in the glass.

“Huh?” The human turned around. He saw the water spilled on the floor and the glass. There was something in the glass. He went to the glass and looked inside of it. It was just a doll. A cat probably came in by the window. He closed the window. He took the glass and put it on the table. The doll flew to the window. The human looked at the doll, shocked. Jen tried to escape but the window was closed. She couldn’t open it. She saw the human approach her.

“Let me go. Please don’t hurt me.” She pleaded.

“You talk?” The human asked, half-surprised half-scared.

“Of course I talk! I have a mouth, can’t you see it?” Those humans were definitely dumb.

“Who, what are you?”

Jen flew to the coffee table and extended her hand. “My name is Jennifer. But everyone calls me Jen. And I am a fairy.”

The human laughed. “A fairy, huh? Can you do some magic?”

“No. I’m too young. My Grams can though. She is the best magician of the community.”

“How come I’ve never seen fairies before?”

“Because it’s forbidden.”

“Forbidden to what?”

“To leave the village.”

Pacey smirked. “Ah, you’re a bad fairy. Interesting.”

“I’m not. And how dare you judge me when I don’t even know you’re name!” Jen exclaimed.

“It’s Pacey.”

“Pacey? You, humans, have such weird names. And weird habits too. Why were you eating that girl?”

“Eating? I wasn’t eating anyone!”

“Yes you were. That brunette who was here a few minutes ago.” Jen said matter-of-factly.

“Joey. She’s my girlfriend. I wasn’t eating her. I was kissing her!”

“Kissing? That didn’t look like kissing to me!”

“Well how do you kiss?”

“We put our lips together for a few seconds.” Jen answered. “That’s kissing.”

Pacey laughed. “Well my dear girl you’ve been missing out on something!”

* ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ *

"JACK" Someone yelled. Jack turned around. It was Matt.

He smiled. "Hey Matt. What's up?"

"Not much. Where's your significant other?"

"Ha ha. Jen is not my significant other. She's only my friend."

Matt smiled warmly. "Whatever. Where is she?"

Jack began to feel uncomfortable. He couldn't tell Matt that Jen went to Capeside. "Um, I don't know."

"She left with you and you came back alone! You must know. Come on, you can tell me." He winked at Jack.

Jack sighed. "You promise you won't tell a soul?"

"I swear."

"She went to Capeside."

"The Human Town?!" Matt yelled.

Jack put his hand on Matt's mouth. "Shhh. what if the Wise Fairies heard you? Jen would be in big trouble."

Matt put his hand on Jack's and removed it from his mouth but kept holding Jack's hand. "Sorry."

Jack nodded but didn't really care. All he could think of was Matt holding his hand. His heart began to beat faster.

"We should go get Jen." Matt said softly.

"Yeah. You're right" And they flew away.

* ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ *

“This whole kiss talk has made me wonder how do you 'make' babies?”

“What?”

“How do you have children? You little baby fairies…”

“Ah…uh I don’t know exactly. I know that there’s a connection. There’s a magic spell and all but it’s a big secret. The oldest fairies in the village teaches the newlyweds the spell. My Grams is one of them.”

“Well I think the human way is a lot more enjoyable.” Pacey laughed.

“oh and what do you do?”

“I think this is not for your innocent ears.”

The last comment infuriated Jen. “How dare you treat me like a child? Maybe I a lot smaller but I’m sure I am older than you are!”

“Really? How old are you?”

“16!”

“Well I’m 16 too.”

“Oh.” Jen said embarrassed.

Pacey smiled. “Listen pretty little fairy, let’s not argue about meaningless things. I’d like us to be friends.”

Jen smiled. “I’d like that too. I’ll come as often as I can!”

“JEN!”

Jen and Pacey looked at the window. Jack and Matt were outside calling Jen.

“It’s Jack!” Jen exclaimed.

"Is he your boyfriend?"

"No." Jen answered as she flew to the window. "He's just a friend. He's more interested in that Matt character."

"Matt?" Pacey asked confused.

"The guy who's with him. Jack is gay, or bi, or whatever. I'm not so sure now because I saw him flirt with Miranda the other day."

"Ah. So you have gay people in your community?" Pacey asked as he opened the window for Jack and Matt.

"Yeah. What's wrong with that?" Jen asked icely.

"Nothing." Pacey said defensively.

Jack went to Jen and took her in his arms. "Are you ok Jen? Did he hurt you?"

Jen laughed softly. "No. Don't worry. The human is pretty cool. You'll see."

"Yeah. Whatever. Let's go home." He led Jen outside and Matt followed them. After a while, Jack came back annd looked at Pacey coldly.

"It seems that she likes you. I don't know why but she does. So listen to me; I know some magic spells that could make your life a living hell, so if you hurt her, in any way, you'll have to answer to me."

With that he left.

The next day, Jack and Jen were in Jen’s room discussing what happened the night before.

“So they were kissing with their mouths opened and their tongues inside each other’s mouths? That’s gross.” Jack said.

“That’s what I thought but the guy said that it was pretty amazing.”

“Really?”

“Yeah…” The room was silent for a long time. After a while, Jen spoke. “Wanna try?”

Jack was totally taken aback. “WHAT?”

“Do you want to try? Maybe, we’ll like it.”

“NO!” Jack said horrified.

“What are you scared of? I promise I won’t tell your boyfriend Matt about it.”

“Matt, is not my boyfriend.”

“Uh huh. If you say so. Come on Jack let’s try. Pleeeeaaaase.” She said pouting her bottom lip.

Jack sighed. It couldn’t be that bad. “Okay. But you have to swear on your

Grams that you won’t say anything to anyone, especially Matt.”

Jen grinned happily. “I swear.” She jumped on Jack’s lap.

“Woah. What are you doing?”

“Positioning myself. Come on, it’s no big deal.”

“Well I think it is.”

Jen put her hand on Jack’s mouth to hush him. She, then, caressed Jack’s cheek softly. His skin was so nice and soft. She leaned forward and touched her lips with his. She started to move gently her mouth on his. Tentatively, Jack opened his mouth and Jen put her tongue in his mouth immediately. She touched his tongue with hers. The touch was electrifying. Either of them ever felt something like that before. Instinctively, they started to dance with their tongues. Jen moaned loudly.

“Hmmm…Jack. This feels so good.” She said as she kissed Jack passionately.

“Oh, my God, Jen…” Jack moaned. He bucked his pelvis and his crotch touched hers. Jen whimpered.

“God…” She bucked her hips several times trying to get more contact. There was a certain burning between her legs she never felt before and it felt so good when she made contact with Jack’s hard…

“Jack! What’s that?” Jen asked mortified as she pulled away.

“Huh?” Jack was totally confused.

“That thing you have between your legs. It’s hard. I never noticed you had that before” Jen said embarrassed. “It felt…um…good.”

“Good?”

Jen blushed furiously. “Yeah…um…when there’s a friction, I feel…”

“What? How do you feel?”

“Hot, excited…you? Don’t you feel anything?”

“Oh yeah, I do. Hot and excited and…aroused?”

“Yeah…aroused. God Jack, I never thought this would feel so good.”

“Me neither.” And they started to kiss again.

“Jack…Jack…this feels so good…”

Jack smiled as he kissed Jen. “Yes it does…I wonder how it would feel with Matt…”

Jen got off Jack’s lap. “Matt? What does Matt have to do with this?”

Jack got up as well. “Come on Jen. You know how I feel about Matt.”

“Well what about me?” Jen was frustrated.

“I thought you didn’t care. You didn’t seem like to care before we kissed. Besides, you’ re my best friend Jen. The best I could ever ask for.”

“Well sometimes being friends is not enough.” And with that she left the room.

* ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ *

Jen tapped as hard as she could on the window. Pacey went to the window and looked outside. When he saw the little fairy, he smiled and opened the window.

"Hey little Jennie."

"Little Jennie?"

Pacey smiled. "Well you're little and you're cute. Little Jennie is a cute nickname. It fits you perfectly."

Jen frowned. "I don't want to be cute. I want to be beautiful."

Pacey laughed. "I'm sure there are many fairies in your Fairyland who think you're hot. But you're just some cute little fairy to me. You're too small."

Pacey went to the kitchen and Jen sat down on the table. "No one is attracted to me. Not even Jack."

"I thought he was gay." Pacey said as he poured himself a cup of coffee. "Coffee?"

"He's bisexual. And what is coffee?"

"You don't know what coffee is?"

Jen shook her head. "No. Can I have some?"

"Maybe you shouldn't. Maybe you're too small or something for coffee."

Jen didn't say anything. What was wrong with her size? That human thought he was SO superior to her.

"Hey don't pout little Jennie. I just care about you and I don't want you to get hurt or anything. Coffee is a pretty strong beverage. Maybe it could hurt you really bad."

Jen sighed. "Maybe..."

"Come on cheer up!" Pacey said. "I'll show you some TV shows. I bet you don't have any TV in your community or whatever you call it."

Jen's interest was peaked. "TV? What's that? Can it hurt me?"

"No. Don't worry. Come sit on the couch."

Jen sat on the couch beside Pacey and watched the screen in front of them.

Pacey and Jen spent the entire afternoon watching TV and talking about their lives. Jen even told Pacey about what she did with Jack that morning. When Jen left Pacey's apartment, they had become really good friends. And Jen liked it, she liked it a lot.

* ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ *

When Jen entered her room, she was greeted by a "Where have been?" from Jack.

"Out." She answered nonchalantly.

"Jen. Tell me."

"God. You're not my father." She said angrily.

Then she saw the hurt in Jack's eyes. "I went to see Pacey."

"The human guy?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Because I like him!" Jen said exasperated.

Jack frowned. "You like him?"

"Not that way." Jen sighed. She looked in Jack's eyes. "I like you that way."

Jack started to feel uncomfortable. "Jen, I..."

Jen looked down. "I know. You like Matt. I understand."

Jack lifted Jen's chin. "Do you really?"

Jen nodded silently.

"Thank you. I have to go now. Bye Jen."

Jen didn't trust her voice to say goodbye. She watched Jack leave. Then, she laid down her bed and cried. She tought it was unfair that she never got the guy. Was she really that unattractive?

"You're crazy!"

"Joey..."

Joey was sitting on the couch, watching Pacey in disbelief. "A fairy? Have you lost your mind?"

"No. Joey, it's true."

"Okay. I'm gonna leave now. I won't tell anyone about this but don't ever speak to me again. Weirdo."

She got up and left. Pacey sat on the couch and put his head in his hands. Why did he tell her? Of course she didn't believe him. He wouldn't believe himself!

Pacey hear a noise coming from the window. It was Jen. He opened the door. She came in and went to her usual spot: the coffee table. She sat down and cried.

Pacey knelt down in front of the table. "Hey...what's wrong?" He said softly.

"Jack's in love with Matt." Jen murmured looking down at the table.

Pacey smiled despise Jen's sadness. She was so cute. "He told you that?"

"He said he likes him but I know he's in love with him. I see it in his eyes."

"If it makes you feel better, I broke up with Joey today. Well she dumped me but that's irrelevant."

Jen looked up. She was surprised. They seemed to really like each other.

"Why?"

"Because of you."

"Me? I don't even know her!"

"I know. That's why actually. She thinks I'm crazy."

At that precise moment, Joey walked in. "Pacey I forgot my..." Then she saw Jen. "...coat"

She walked slowly to the coffee table. She looked at Pacey and then at Jen. Then, she looked at Pacey again. "Can she hurt me?"

Pacey laughed. How could such a sweet, innocent thing like Jen could hurt anyone? "No."

Joey knelt down in front of Jen. "Are you for real?"

Jen frowned. "What do you think?"

"You talk?"

"I have a mouth like you! Why do you, humans, always ask the same dumb questions? The first time, it's fine but the second time, it gets tiring."

Joey laughed. "You're a funny fairy. I can't believe what I'm seeing."

"I couldn't believe it either."

Joey turned to Pacey and smiled. "I'm sorry about what I said earlier Pacey."

Pacey smiled back. "It's ok Jo." He leaned in and kissed her forgetting about Jen. Jen getting annoyed left the apartment. No one seemed to want her.

* ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ *

"Jennifer? Is that you?" Grams asked as Jennifer entered the house.

"Yes it's me, Grams." Jen entered the kitchen. "Do you want something?"

"Sit down. I need to speak with you."

"What's wrong?"

"Where were you Jennifer?"

Jen blushed furiously. "In teh forest." It was the first time Jen ever lied to her grandmother.

"That's not what Jack told me."

"What did he tell you?" Jen asked nervously.

"That you were gone to the human town."

"I...I..."

"Jen did Jack say the truth?"

Jen looked at her grams. She always admired her. She admired her because she was wise. She admired her because she was usually fair. She admired her because she was kind. But tonight, she didn't admire her. Grams was treating her like a child. Like she couldn't make her own decisions. She looked at her grams with determination.

"Yes. Jack told the truth. I went to the human town. And it wasn't the first time."

Grams was shocked. "Jennifer! What were you thinking?"

"Nothing. You know sometimes the wise-fairies like you can be wrong. Humans aren't all dangerous. I'm friends with a human in the town."

"You are grounded. For a month."

Jen looked at her grandmother angrily. "You cannot keep me locked in my room. If I want to go to the human town I will go with or without your permission."

She left the house.

* ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ *

Without thinking, Jen flew to Capeside. Pacey would comfort her. If that bitch Joey isn't with him. Pacey was all she had now that Jack was with Matt. She never thought Jack would betray her like this. She cherished their friendship so much. For so many years, he was everything for her. And she was everything for him. But those glorious days are over now. Jack had Matt.

"Jen!"

Jen was already at Pacey's window. She looked at him through the closed window. "Pacey..." She whispered. A warm fuzzy feeling erupted in her heart as she said his name. "Is Joey there?"

"No she left." He opened the window. "Come on in. It's cold outside. You must be freezing."

Jen shivered. She was cold. She had been so preoccupied by Jack that she forgot how cold it was. She entered the apartment.

"You better come in my room. Doug, my brother, is supposed to get home any minute now."

Jen followed Pacey to his room. She was a bit nervous. She had never been to a human room before. And it was Pacey's room. The room was pretty ordinary. Jen was disappointed. She didn't know what to expect but she didn't expect a room like that. It was like Jack's room minus the television and the radio. She stood on the bed and waited for Pacey to say something.

"So do you like my room?"

"It's okay."

"Okay? What's wrong with it?"

"Nothing. It's just that Jack has the exact same room."

"Oh."

"Hello!" They heard. It was Doug.

"Hey Doug." Pacey yelled. "I'm going to bed right now, okay?"

"Okay."

"Now we're sure he won't come in and bother us. So what's going on Jen?"

"What do you mean what's going on?"

"Well you left abruptly a while ago and now you're back. What's going on?"

Jen sighed. "Jack told Grams that I was coming here."

"Oh."

"Yeah, oh. And now I had a really big fight with Grams. And Jack is probably with Matt so -"

"Matt's Jack boyfriend right?"

"Yeah. So can I spend the night here?" She asked in a tiny voice.

"Yeah sure. I think I can make you a bed."

Pacey took an empty kleenex box. He cute the top part. Then he left the room. When he came back, he had in his hand, several handkerchiefs and some cotton balls.

Jen laughed. "You have handkerchiefs?"

Pacey smiled. "Not me. My brother. He didn't come out of the closet just yet."

"Jen laughed again as Pacey made her a tiny comfortable bed. "Here." He said. "All done."

"Thanks." She got in the bed.

"Now close your eyes, I need to change."
She did as told, but ten seconds later, she opened her eyes. pacey had his shirt off. She looked at his back. He had a nice back. She never thought that someday, she'd like to wacth a back. Ten he took his pants off. Wow, Jen thought he looks nice in boxers. And to her astonishment, Pacey took his boxers off. He had the nicest butt she had ever seen. It was the only one she had ever seen but his butt looked soooo great. The warm fuzzy feeling came back. AAnd now she felt hot and tingly between her legs. She wasn;t sure what was going on.

Pacey put on other boxers and Jen closed her eyes.

"Done." Jen opened her eyes again. Pacey faced her now. She smiled. He smiled back.

"Time for bed now." He said as he got in his bed. "Good night Jen."

"Good night Pacey."

And Pacey turned off the light.
