Everyone held their breaths as the Maxwell family awaited their fate.
“You are all becoming fairies.” Announced the Doctor as everyone just blinked and looked at him. “We haven’t found out what type of fairies you are all becoming or even if any of you are changing gender but given the make up of fairy society odds are good that some of the men will end up as female fairies but even the women can change.”
“Wait…go back.” Ordered their father “Fairies?”
“Yes.” Confirmed the Doctor as he turned over a small computer pad to show a series of small humanoid figures mostly women but with some men standing in a line up. The height chart showed that the tallest was only about 9 inches tall while the shortest was just above 4 inches tall. Some had bark like skin, some looked impossibly thin, some looked totally normal aside from pointed ears. Their hair where also crazy one of them had deep impossibly red hair, one was bald with her skull coming to a sharp point, another had lime green hair and others had the traditional shades of hair. All of them had wings, different types of wings to some like the traditional fairy wings while others had four smaller wings and one even had six wings. Some wings where translucent like a dragon fly, others had butterfly like wings and one even had beetle like wings with a hard shell on her back.
A few…a small few looked more like insects then people with multiple arms, eyes and with sharp little teeth and stingers. That was horrifying to see.
“Given their size, fairies can not live in a society designed for normal size people so special communities have been set up for them to live in. That is where you all will have to live once you are transformed.” Explained the Doctor
“I…see.” Said their mother “What all do we have to know.”
“A lot…we will go over that.” Said the Doctor as he went on to tell them about fairies, they matured a lot sooner and died a lot sooner. They news that no fairy had yet to live past 70 wasn’t a welcomed one even if they tended to look to be in their mid-30s or early 40s when they died. Then the two biggest bomb shells went off.
“Fairy society is heavily female, so far there are nearly 3 female fairies for every 1 male fairy, this has lead to some interesting developments.” Said the Doctor as all four Maxwell men gulped, if that was true then odds where good that only 1 of them would remain a man, the others would become women, but the tests didn’t tell them that. There was some hope that they would all remain men but odds where better all of them would become women. Even the women of their family could become male fairies but the odds where far in their favor against that. The second bomb shell wasn’t as bad, but it was still bad. “Same sex relationships are fully accepted and as far as we can tell all fairies seam to be bi-sexual. Multiple partners are common and….so are orgies.”
“My God in heaven.” Prayed the religious Mrs. Maxwell
“Fairies are also not like what you see in TV or movies...they are highly sexually active almost as active as some of the sexual monsters like Succubus…they are that sexually active.” Added the Doctor
“How…how much time?” inquired Mr. Maxwell
“A week until you have to report, two days or so after that you will start to transform.” Added the Doctor “You can go sooner if you wish, some would rather get it over and done with and we have drugs now which can start the process and speed it up as well.”
