This was all so bizarre. It didn't feel real but it didn't feel like a dream either. Dreams were blurry and murkey and you couldn't think very hard in them. They were really just thoughts you have while you sleep, and who heard of thinking inside a thought? The whole concept hurt Tamryn's head.

She marveled at the crazyness of everything. She had sometimes wished very hard for magic to be real, even became sad when finding it wasn't. She had learned to stop wanting things she wouldn't get, and instead focused on her future as an author, for if she couldn't be in a fanastical world, why not make one?

But this defyed everything. Nothing made sense. Not that she wasn't going to take it for granted, this was possitivley the most amazing thing she had ever done.

She remembered earlier, when she had left the house to buy a few things for her mom. She had turned a corner, and there she saw a huge shimering wall of white. She wondered how the heck she hadn't noticed it before. Coming in for a closer look, she had discovered that it wasn't quite solid, because when she put her hand through it, it passed to the other side.

I'm in fairlyland, she thought, though it's not quite what I expected.

"So Tamryn can stay here right?" 

This snapped her attention to the conversation she had been observing. Stay? Tamryn hadn't thought so far ahead. Her mom was waiting. She couldn't just leave like that. Maybe her mom could come with her?

"I guess. We are a little low on space, so she'll have to pay for it. Pretty good tears in her eyes. Does she want to stay?"

Acily glanced at Tamryn. "I don't know."

Tamryn stood, mind whirring. "I can stay for a little longer I supose. I have to go home soon. My mom will worry."

Unless it was the kind of world where "time works differently" or whatever. Somehow she doubted that.

"Oh, okay. At least stay till dinner."

Tamryn nodded. She wouldn't be needed until then right? Plus, she wanted to explore, to see what wonders this world could hold.

If only she knew what a couple more hours could do.
