"Oh, yes! The fairy dust is very popular. We run out of it all the time. Kids come in after school to make wishes. The retirement homes by this all the time so they can make wishes." Luan says as she walks over to a shelf in her little store. The shelves, walls, and even ceiling are covered with all different types of fairy merchandise. She has a hand made fairy wings hung from the ceiling, making the small dark room beam with all the colors of the rainbow. On the shelves have little figurines covering them. Each a little fairy has their own meaning and reason for being. In one corner of the story is a large fake oak tree. The darkness of the room how ever makes the tree look mysteriously real. Inside it are half a dozen little toadstools where kids come to listen to stories and play games when a birthday party rolls by.

"Now just close your eyes, make a wish and it will come true." Luan Says as she pulls out a little pouch and takes a pinch of whites sprinkles out of it. I close my eyes and humor here. I try to think of a wish, but nothing comes up. Get back together with my ex-girlfriend now best friend? That didn't seem right. Make a sale today? That might do, but it just wasn't important enough to waste a wish on. Omnipotence? Ya right. I decided to save the wish and make it later. I am sure it wouldn't work but hey, it wouldn't hurt.

Suddenly, a wave of heat passes over me like as though I just stepped into a sauna. I step back and bump into a person behind me who wasn't there a second ago. I open my eyes and turn around. I see a man, not that much older than me. 21, 22 maybe. He has short dark hair and a square body making him look big even though he isn't built. He is quite a bit higher than I am, seeing as I am only 5'8". He is around 6'. God I have being short.

"You all right?" The man asks.

"Um, ya. I'll be fine." I say and keep studying his very familiar face. The dark sunglasses don't hide his face, more like enhance the feeling that I know him. I turn back around to Luan. "Well thank you for your time Luan. It has been a learning experience for me. I hope that at Christmas we can work out a WebPage for your Business."

"Yes, come back anytime. I am sure once we get the other store up and running we can get a Page up for both stores. We just don't have the time or money right now. But please come back and bring all your friends." Luan says.

I shake her hand and walk out the door leaving the man and Luan alone. As the door closes behind me, I hear the man introduce himself as "Derian". I stop in my tracks and turn around. I stare at the white weather beaten door and think. 'Derian? That didn't look like Derian. Did it?' I shake off that stupid idea and walks down the street.

After a long midmorning and early afternoon of miserably trying to sell WebPages to the Businesses of Haney. I make my way back to The Hard Drive Cafe where I work. I actually work for Webventures Design Corp., but I figure that Hard Drive Cafe is easier to say when people ask. I walk up to the door and say 'Hi' to Gyves. Our wooden Butler. I walk into the coffee bar to find no one there. Nothing unusual. I take off my jacket and walk up stairs to where the action of this place is. As I get up to the top of the stairs, I find Wendy, lying on the floor, painting the trim of the wall right where the wall meets the baseboard. She is doing a fantastic job with her steady hands and keen eyes. I walk into the main computer room where Joe; the Assistant manager, and my Brother, and Kerry, new salesman, and a very welcome customer. All are on computers doing work.

"Jason." I hear my name called out from down the hall. I walk down it and into the Tech room where it came from. Bill is in there working on a CD Burn. Oop. I mean Digital Copying. Bill is a cool guy. Shaved head with a goatee makes him look much younger than he really is. Plus his enthusiasm makes him seem even younger. "How did it go?"

Lie or, not to lie. That is the question. I'm an honest person. "It could have been better. I talked to several businesses around town. The only one that seems interested was at the 'Midnight Fairy'. But she just expanded to Port Couquitlum and she doesn't have time or money to get one now. She said that it I should come back around the beginning of the Christmas season. So I might have one for next month. But that might be too late."

"Well keep trying. I know that you can do it. Just keep trying and you'll get something." Bill says. He is always trying to lift our spirits. He is cool that way. But his compliments aren't working as well anymore. I guess everybody saying no to me has just got me down. Plus getting only 3-4 hours of sleep each night.

"I know. Just keep thinking of the future. Leave the past where it is." I say

"You're a good kid Jason. Now what are you doing right now?" Bill asks in his usual perky way.

"Umm, nothing I can think of."

"Could you make up a brochure for this place? Nothing really extensive, just a telling about the specials we talked about at this mornings meeting."

"Sure. I got time to kill." I answer and walk out the door.

Bill is a cool guy. He is the most awesome Manager, and he is very smart. He was one year from getting his Decorate. Now he is a Tech for this company.

I walk down the hallway away from the computer room and into a spare office. This is my room. For now at least. I go into my little area where my stuff is. It is only separated from the employee's lounge by a retaining wall. My bed is on the other side of yet another retaining wall. I get out of my shirt and pants and get on some jeans and T-shirt and sweater. I walk into where my bed is and fall onto it. I rolled over and grabbed my remote for my stereo. I push play and listen as the Sailor Moon theme song. I close my eyes and let the music sooth me. The music slowly fades away and starts up on the next song. I don't realize that it is the original Sailor V theme that starts to play. As the song ends I hear, in Japanese, a radio announcer say, "And that was the new Sailor V Theme from the latest movie in the very popular series." I jump up to find myself on a bench in the middle of a Park.
