Yeah, I could think about all of that later.
I didn’t quite know what to do now. I figured that the girls would probably not be done with their storytime yet, so I started to pack up my things. First, I took the special lingerie and costumes that I had bought for the girls, but hadn’t given them yet and placed them in the small trunk I had bought in town with Flower. I washed the tail from Flower’s costume and then put it and the rest of her costume in the trunk for now as well.
I went through my clothing drawer, but there was nothing of my old life there – the girls had already thrown it all away a few days ago.
I still had a bit more time so I decided to watch the video again – it was very sexy, especially when I focused on the sexual parts rather than the information being presented.
Then I sent a message to Honey asking them to let me know when they were done. I just sat and relaxed on the patio, and maybe dozed off for a while.
I woke up when I heard the girls coming in.
“So, did you have a nice story time?” I asked.
“Oh, we did. There were photos and a movie too!”
My face went white; I said, “Movies?”
Cupcake explained, “The phones automatically upload all photos and video to the ‘Family Photo Album’ on the cloud, you silly magical wizard.”
“You really were magical, Sweetie!” Honey said as she kissed me. “So, now, what’s the word? How was your message from the home planet?”
I said, “We can go up to the residence right away. Pack up your things – not that any of us have much, and let’s go!”
Buttercup said, “Cool! Um, I have a car ready and I will pick all of you up by the front doors in just a few minutes. Remember, empty the rooms of anything that you don’t want to keep – housekeeping will be cleaning them Monday morning.”
I had no idea what we would find up the hill. Old Page had said that it was a Mystery House. I guess we’d find out next. And there was the meeting with the lawyers tomorrow. But first the house.
End of Book One
Well, that’s the first part of our story. But that’s only part one - there’s lots more. Book 2 will take up where we just finished. Mr. Jensen and the girls: Honey, Buttercup, Peach, Flower, and Cupcake move into their new Mystery House.
If you are still reading my story, that was your choice. It was a lot of reading when all that really needed to be said might be summed up like this:
1. Magic happens if we know how to look for it.
2. Things are seldom exactly as they seem.
3. A Fairy Godmother is a wonderful thing to have.
4. And when you don’t know what else to do, maybe you should look at flowers.
If you choose to read on, I hope you enjoy it. I’m going to keep writing the story, whether you read it or not.

About the Author
Marilyn Foxworthy lives a peaceful life studying classical mindfulness, practical philosophy, and martial arts. A prolific writer of fantasy and adventure in the style of the twentieth-century pulp writers of the ‘Golden Age’ of fiction, she enjoys what she calls ‘Tom Swift for Adults’. Often blatantly and graphically sensual, her epic stories appeal to the adolescent parts of us that still enjoy a good vicarious adventure liberally sprinkled with interludes of boisterous romping in the hay.
Ms. Foxworthy describes her writing process this way: “I never know what is going to happen. The characters tell me their stories and I write them down the way I hear them. A character comes to me and sits down for coffee and starts talking. I’m as surprised as anyone by what they tell me. If I like the story, I publish it. If you like the story, you read it.”
Other Series by The Author
SERIES BY MARILYN Foxworthy (without giving away too many spoilers):
* The Nogud Legacy. What if you wake up on a road with no idea who you are? The place seems medieval, but is it the future or the past? The population is low and good men are at a premium. A smart guy like Joshua knows how to make a new life, even if he can’t figure out how he got here or what the rules are at first. And what's with these girls in the hoods and tunics?
* The Guardian Maidens of Sturgil's Mark. Ronin is a novice Adventurer Monk out to kill some monsters and make a name for himself. The elven girls who join him don’t like wearing armor very much but overall, they’re a great team. Monsters beware. We’re coming to kick down doors and take your loot.
* The Sea Nymphs. Robby is established now and wants to share his good fortune with his older brother Tom. Tom adjusts to Robby’s lifestyle quickly. He has his own way of doing things but he’s Robby’s brother for sure.
* The Shrine Maidens of Barsoom. The “Red Planet” of John Carter’s stories is real but not quite the way we were told. The Great White Apes are real, and the princesses really are naked, but a lot of the details a hundred years later are different.
* Lost in Time. Crashed and lost in a land that time forgot, John Raskin and the cave girls he finds there work to carve out a paradise of their own making. What do you do in a society where the numbering system only goes up to three and people are identified by their smell, not their name? No one is coming to rescue him. At least he hopes not. Fur bikinis are pretty rare here, and most of the cave girls go without, the price of animal fur being what it is these days. And that makes rescue sound like more of a threat than the giant crocodiles.
* Honest Attractions. Courtney saw Dave at the rest stop off the highway. Alone and afraid and hungry and being pursued by thugs, she jumps into his car at the last minute as he’s pulling back onto the road and off into the desert for a vacation. Yeah, she’s desperate, but it’s still love at first sight for both of them. And as long as they are honest with each other, things just might work out. If they get away from Courtney’s past, that is.
* Eevona Space Command. Jimmy is a guy who gets picked up by a passing space ship. A space ship crewed by beautiful manufactured clones. Female clones. They are considered to be expendable throw-away workers by most of the galaxy, but not as citizens of The Eevona Space Command Galactic Mining Conglomerate. That’s really just Jimmy and a handful of the clones, but they have cool uniforms and a fast ship and it sounds impressive. And they are making a life and a name for themselves along the outer rim.
* The Girls on The Hill. They aren't really fairies. They're just the girls who work at the particular resort that Robby Jensen enjoys vacationing at. And this time he finds out that most of the female staff have a crush on him. And the robots are terrible scamps. It starts with a drowning girl in the river, and Robby just happens to be there in a canoe to rescue her.
