Director Sarah McMillan felt like she was almost about to take a vacation. The last day or so had proven to be very stressful with Jacob Moreland's family going dark and the situation with the vampires now partially behind her, she followed Aloe'la to a large tree as she looked around curious as to where the entrance to the fairy realm was.
"So...exactly where is the entrance to your home?" Sarah asked.
"Well, it's not so much an entrance is it is just a door a fairy can open anywhere in the world. You just have..." Aloe'la said as she traced her finger in a rectangle along the base of a large tree before knocking. "To know the secret knock, and of course be a fairy yourself." Aloe'la said as she glanced over quickly at Sarah before thinking back about after she had come back from S.P.E.A.R and gone to see Queen Glitter herself.
**************************************************
"Aloe'la, I'm so happy to see you back alive again. We heard news that the vampire domain was ravaged." Queen Glitter said as Aloe'la approached Glitter's throne.
"Yes my queen. Though the situation with the vampires is under control at the moment. The private government known as S.P.E.A.R wishes to establishes ties with the fairies. Their boss, a woman by the name of Sarah McMillan would like to personally come herself to establish ties to us." Aloe'la informed Glitter.
"I see," Aloe'la then noticed Glitter look at her a little closer, curious as to why. "Aloe'la, you have met this Sarah McMillan, I assume, what can you tell me about her?"
"I've...only met and spoken with her briefly. But she is very confident, she seems very intelligent for a human her age, she seems to keep herself very physically fit as her job surely has her do active duty from time to time." Aloe'la said as Glitter noticed Aloe'la's mind seem to be wandering.
"How does she appear?" Glitter asked. "Like an Amazon warrior out of a Greek Odyssey..." Aloe'la said before recomposing herself and blushing.
"I see....Aloe'la, I'm personally assigning you to be Sarah McMillan's escort to the land of Fae for when she arrives."
"What?! You're majesty, please, there's other fairies who could easily..." Aloe'la began before Glitter held up her hand.
"She is familiar enough with you, you should become more familiar with her. It will be a good experience for you to finally get to know a human personally." Glitter said as Aloe'la bowed to her queen.

"Now, be prepared, I'm going to have to shrink you down to fairy size so you may enter with me." Aloe'la explained as Sarah nodded.
Aloe'la reached into a bag she was carrying and blew orange dust at the woman as she began to sneeze. Sarah felt a tingling sensation in her body as she began to shrink with Aloe'la smiling at Sarah as she was shrinking, then she began to look worried as Sarah looked at herself to see only her physical body was shrinking and not her clothes, which were becoming gigantic to her now.
"Oh no, no, no, no, no. Oh god, I am so sorry, please don't be mad with me." Aloe'la pleaded.
"I'm not mad, just a little embarrassed." Sarah said as she held her now enormous clothes up as Aloe'la turned around keeping a red blush from Sarah as it was her first time seeing Sarah naked.
"Don't worry, I'm sure we have some spare clothes for you to wear at the entrance." Aloe'la said as she grabbed Sarah's hand and pulled her inside the door.
Aloe'la quickly took Sarah to where a clothes area was as most humans didn't normally visit the realm of the Fae, Aloe'la had to resort to giving Sarah the only clothes she could find that would fit her which was a women's blue colorblock buttons details waist cinched puff sleeve dress.
"Oh brother, this looks like something my grandmother would've worn." Sarah said. Aloe'la looked at Sarah but couldn't help but smile at her.
"If it's any consolation, I think you look....rather...professional. You look very sophisticated for your young age." Aloe'la complimented.
"Well, thanks for that. I suppose, you look very mature, for your age as well. You look....at least in your early thirties, am I right?" Sarah guessed.
"Huh? My thirties?" Aloe'la asked confused by this. Aloe'la then went to a nearby store window to see her reflection. She had taken an appearance of a woman in her late teens or early twenties when she first met Spark and her friends some time back. Now she looked to see her appearance looked to be at least 31.
'I'm getting older? Why? Why am I getting older?' Aloe'la thought to herself.
"Hey, are you okay?" Sarah asked as Aloe'la turned to look at her and now she looked at Sarah and her heart began to beat more.
'Oh my god! I'm developing an emotional bond with Sarah, I mean Miss Sarah Mcmillan, I mean the....absolutely gorgeous Director Sarah McMillan.' Aloe'la thought to herself.
"I'm fantastic!" Aloe'la nervously squeaked. "Anyway, come on, we've got a ways to go before we arrive at the palace." Aloe'la said as she held Sarah McMillan's hand.
Sarah looked at the city in amazement, they had arrived to the fairy city at night and the entire city was beautifully illuminated from left to right. Before they went further, a carriage with a mouse appeared in front of them.
"Aloe'la, right?" asked the female driver of the carriage. "Uh...yes." Aloe'la replied.
"Queen Glitter has requested that you and your escort be taken to the castle by carriage. She has made arrangements for your room for the night. She regretfully is having a meeting with some of her captains tonight and will be busy until tomorrow morning." The female fairy soldier said.
"I'm sorry, did you say 'room', as in single?" Sarah asked.
"Oh, yes. Queen Glitter thought it would do the two of you good to share a room and get to know one another better. Climb on in." The female soldier said as Aloe'la offered her hand for Sarah to take and step into the carriage.
'Oh my god. Queen Glitter has arranged a room for me and Sarah to be in? Alone? for the entire night? SHE KNOWS.' Aloe'la thought to herself.
