WHOA.

[Ed's sitting upside-down on a bench somewhere]

EVERYTHING CHAAAAANGED.

It's all... SO DIFFERENT.

[Waaaaait a second...]

But waaaait... [she topples off of the bench and looks around, right-side up, this time]

NOW ED KNOWS... actually no, she doesn't. [sadface, :(]

[yeah, that sadface didn't last for very long.] HELLOOOOOO, FRIENDS. EDWARD IS VERY PLEASED TO MEET EVERYONE!!

'Cause it's coooool.

[a-ccidentalism.livejournal.com]

You've got good taste, Ed.

[timeforjam.livejournal.com]

[Big grin and a cartwheel!]

[a-ccidentalism.livejournal.com]

[watches]

Name's Axel, by the way.

[timeforjam.livejournal.com]

Hiii.

[aaand change of subject and a handstand]

What's your favorite candy, Axel?

[a-ccidentalism.livejournal.com]

Who says you need to have a favorite?

[timeforjam.livejournal.com]

[Oh man, totally didn't think of that]

...that's BRILLIANT.

[a-ccidentalism.livejournal.com]

I am, I know.

[timeforjam.livejournal.com]

[now she doesn't really know what to do with herself! HER WHOLE WORLD HAS CHANGED.]

[but now it's back to normal and oh hey that's an interesting leaf.]

[a-ccidentalism.livejournal.com]

[wow. Axel will just be watching because...really, you don't come across people like this everyday.]

[timeforjam.livejournal.com]

[No, seriously, this leaf is really interesting. She holds it up.]

It's pink.

[A little pink, maybe. More of a lightish red.]

[a-ccidentalism.livejournal.com]

So it is.

[but still doesn't top the list of the strange things he's seen.]

[timeforjam.livejournal.com]

[she looks at Axel, then back at the leaf, and shrugs, holding it out to him.]

Do you want it?

[a-ccidentalism.livejournal.com]

Nah, you should keep it. Never know when it might suddenly turn out to have special powers.

[timeforjam.livejournal.com]

GOOD POINT. [abruptly stands up and does a backflip, spectacularly landing on a bench. She holds the leaf out like a prize]

PINK LEAF, ACTIVATE!

[nothing happens, duh.]

Aww. [momentary sadface.]

[a-ccidentalism.livejournal.com]

[laughing here]

Maybe you've just gotta wait for it.

[timeforjam.livejournal.com]

Hmph.

[she pauses to think for a moment. Then she brightens up suddenly and shreds the leaf into little tiny pieces and throws it up in the air!]

PINK CONFETTI! Now the magicalness is everywhere!

[a-ccidentalism.livejournal.com]

[and wouldn't you know it, some of the pieces MYSTERIOUSLY catch on fire, giving them a brief violet-black glow as they fall to the ground, disappearing as they're consumed by the tiny flames. Axel, of course, watches this with a straight face.]

Hey, you're right.

[timeforjam.livejournal.com]

[HOLY CRAP DID YOU SEE THAT?]

Woooow.

[a-ccidentalism.livejournal.com]

Wonder what that did.

[timeforjam.livejournal.com]

Magic, duh.

[a-ccidentalism.livejournal.com]

But different kinds of magic can do different things.

[timeforjam.livejournal.com]

Hmm. Well.

Seemed to Edward that now Axel gets three wishes.

[a-ccidentalism.livejournal.com]

Oh, do I? Not a genie in sight though.

[timeforjam.livejournal.com]

[Sighs dramatically and flings her arms out.]

The leaf, silly! Magic leaves don't need genies.
