Early evening at the Fairy Tale Fulfilment Agency garden. Cobweb is sitting on a bench playing the pan flute. Mustardseed enters and pulls the instrument away from him. They start to argue and Peaceblossom enters to try to break it up. Zelda and Helene enter, Helene carrying a big pile of books.
ZELDA
And this is the garden where you can take your thirty-minute break. Any questions?
HELENE
Nope!!! I’m just super-duper excited to be a part of this! Thank you so so much for this amazing opportunity!
ZELDA
All right, calm down. You’re just an unpaid intern. It’s not a big deal.
HELENE
It is for me! This is one of the most desirable job for fairies and everyone knows that the unpaid intern position is just the lowest rung of the ladder in any corporation!
ZELDA
Right…
MOTH
(Enters and crosses to Zelda. She hands Zelda a folder and Zelda reads it over.)
Zelda, I have a job for you. It seems the village of Taedmorgan is overrun with happily ever after problems of all kinds. I thought you and your unpaid intern would be best for the job. Because the rest of my employees are…incompetent to say the least.
ZELDA
I’m not entirely certain that’s the best—
MOTH
Do this job well, and you’ll be promoted.
ZELDA
You mean?
MOTH
Yep.
ZELDA
(Starts to stride confidently off.)
We’ll take it. Come on, Helene, we’d better get going.
HELENE
(Struggles to turn around.)
Oh, okay. Where exactly are we going?
ZELDA
Taedmorgan. This is your first official case and my chance to prove myself as a fairy godmother and finally be a field agent, so you better not fuck this up for us.
HELENE
(Salutes.)
Aye, aye, Miss Zelda!!!
ZELDA
Please don’t call me that. It’s weird. Just call me Zelda. Miss Ashton, if you must.
HELENE
Will do, Miss Ashton!!!
(Zelda groans and they exit.)
MOTH
That little intern is going to be swallowed alive out there. Speaking of being swallowed alive…
(Crosses her arms, turns, and walks over to Cobweb and Mustardseed.)
All right, you two. What was it this time?
(Cobweb and Mustardseed begin talking at once and arguing. The scene fades out.)
