Chapter 34 - Episode 5/Chapter 34: On the Road to Fairy Wings!

 After Andrew learned of the Fairy Conspiracy, he and Teenie Tiny Choo Choo jump into the truck and start heading to Fairy Wings Distribution Center. While Andrew drove, Teenie made herself comfortable in the passenger seat.

A lot was going through Andrew's head about the whole situation, never-mind the fact that there was an actual fairy sitting in the truck. Andrew wanted to know more about this little fairy creature.

"So, who exactly are you?" Andrew broke the silence, "And how did you get out of your cage?"

Teenie started talking but Andrew couldn't hear her small, squeaky voice under the sound of the truck speeding over the road.

"Hold on! I can't hear shit!" Andrew says and Teenie gets up and flies over to the ELD device and perches herself on top of it so she was closer to Andrew. That was better, now he could hear her.

"I said!" Teenie starts all over, "After Fairyland was discovered by that evil witch and she started harvesting us, a few of us reached out to the American Law Enforcement for help, but since we're not considered humans and aren't citizens, we don't have any rights, so they couldn't help us. Apparently, Broomhilda isn't breaking any laws by harvesting us. When I learned that, I became an activist and started fighting for our rights and citizenship on this land, but my voice is ignored. They treat us like we're just animals."

"Well, that changes tomorrow", Andrew says. "I knew something was up with that old lady when I met her. I just felt something was off about her and I guess I was right. If there's really witches running fairy wings, I'll do everything I can to help you."

"Thank you so much! You're very sweet." Teenie blushed. "But you never told me your name…"

"Oh, my name's Andrew. Andrew Dillon. I'm a truck driver, obviously…"

Teenie giggles then yawns with tiny squeak at the end.

"I'm so tired", Teenie says. "I haven't slept in quite a while."

"You could go back into the bunk behind those curtains and get some sleep. There's some beds back there. Just don't wake up that old man."

"Thank you. I can't save Fairyland when I'm half asleep." Teenie giggles tiredly then disappears behind the privacy curtains.

Oliver was snoring away soundly as Teenie hovered nearby. She was trying to decide which bunk looked more comfortable to sleep in. Fairies were known to be very picky when it came to where to sleep. After a brief thought, Teenie flies into Olivers bunk. She stuffs herself under the covers next to him and snuggles into the pillow. After a second or two, she starts to toss and turn and shiver. Teenie pulls all the blankets off of Oliver and bundles herself in them, leaving Oliver shivering in the cold. After a little while of curling up and trying to fight against the cold, Oliver opens his baggy, tired eyes and sits up. When he looks over he sees Teenie snoozing away comfortably in his bed with his blanket and on his pillow. Oliver turned red in anger.

"What the bloody hell!?" Oliver growls as he jumps out of the bed, flips the lights on, then grabs a good book and starts slamming it down on the bed where the fairy was sleeping in. Teenie was able to avoid being smashed to death.

"Dammit!" Oliver yells at her while trying to smash her with the book like a bug. "In my bed!? Taking my covers! Drooling on my pillow!? How the hell did you get in here?! Who left the window open!? Andrew!?"

Teenie flies through the privacy curtain and right into Andrew's hood. Andrew was jamming away to the music when Oliver burst through the curtains screaming his name.

"Andrew!" Oliver yelled so loud Andrew could hear him through his blaring earbuds.

"Whoah! What's wrong?!" Andrew asked.

"There's something in the truck! It was sleeping in my bed like it owned the place!"

Teenie pops out of Andrews hood.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to", she says innocently. "I was just very tired and cold."

"There it is!" Oliver points at Teenie. "It's in your hoodie, Andrew!"

Oliver yanks Andrews hood and tries to grab Teenie but Andrew pulls away from him, swerving on the road at the same time.

"Wait! That's Teenie Tiny…she's a fairy!" Andrew yells.

"A what?" Oliver asks in disbelief and disgust.

"She's a fairy", Andrew explains. "She was in the trailer. They need our help. You don't know what kind of horrors await them at the customer, Mr. Moreworth."

"You broke the seal and tampered with the freight?! You imbecile!" Oliver snarls.

"I heard them inside crying for help while I was doing the pre-trip. I thought some bums got in there or something! I opened it to kick them out but found it was full of fairies instead!"

"Damn you Dillon! Do you know they can reject the load of the seals broken or they suspect that the freight has been tampered with, which it certainly has!" Oliver scolds. "We may now not get paid and all this driving was for absolutely nothing! You stupid little idiot!"

"But she said that Broomhilda is an evil witch!" Andrew argues. "And that fairy Wings is ran by evil witches who kidnap and murder fairies! That's what's in your tea! Real fairy wings!"

Oliver grabbed his mug that contained some left over fairy Wings tea in it.

"What tea? This tea?" Oliver takes a long, loud drink of the Fairy Wings tea, gulping it down then sighing and smacking his lips in satisfaction.

"Ahhh! That's some damn good tea, I might say!" Oliver says, still angry. "Fairies are some mighty delicious little buggers aren't they?!"

Teenie gasps in horror at what Oliver said and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Damn, that's messed up…"Andrew says.

"I don't give a damn who runs Fairy Wings or what it's made out of! It's delicious and this load is gonna make us a bunch of money! Or it should for your sake should they disregard the replacement seal you'll be putting on trailer before we get there and hope that they don't bother about it! Do you understand?!"

"Sure, whatever."

"I'm going back to bed and I shan't be awoken until it is time to get the paperwork signed after we are unloaded, do I make myself clear?!"

"Yes, damn…"

Oliver goes back behind the curtains and yanks them closed again. Teenie emerged from Andrew's hood.

"How can someone be so cruel and heartless?" Teenie cried.

"I told you he was a dick. But don't worry, we're still going through with the plan to save your friends."

"Good. Maybe he'll change his mind."

"I doubt that." Andrew says.

"Do you mind if I sleep in here, in your hood? It's actually nice and comfy."

"Sure, why not."

Teenie yawns then snuggles inside of Andrews hood and in a few moments, she was snoring away. Soon, they were going to be pulling up at a fairies worst nightmare…
