Part 26
Tuesday 23rd July 2008 The next day.
Thomas Smith had awaked back at his parent's home after his evening of celebration. Thomas though could not remember how he had arrived home. He went down stairs. His mother already was stood over the oven cooking Thomas a decent breakfast. She was a farmer's daughter and did not believe in just having a swig of water and a slice of bread for breakfast. “Mum I will be late for work and this is only my second day working for the Demon bike lady.”
“Thomas you will sit and eat all that I have prepared for you. Now have you something to tell your mother? Why are you rushing the wedding? You have not got Wendy in the family way have you?”
“Mum Wendy proposed to me. The actual wedding day was set by Wendy's family. I was shocked myself to discover the wedding was sorted and planned before I had agreed. Mr Thomas is Wendy's uncle and is allowing us to use a flat that the firm owns. I also got to meet Wendy's mother. I did not realise Wendy's family owned the shop when she suggested to me I apply for the vacancy. I suppose I will be busy for the remainder of the week decorating the flat to how Wendy likes it? Did I tell you who else I got to meet yesterday?”
“No you did not Thomas? You have no need to worry about decorating as it has already been done. The two gentlemen, who brought you home last night, had a long chat with me about your future bride. They informed me their granddaughters had decorated and furnished the flat as a wedding present from your bridesmaids. They also promised to come and collect me today to show me the flat today and then I am going out with shopping with Wendy to get my outfit for the wedding.”
There was a knock at the door.
Thomas broke off his breakfast to open the door.
“Mr Draconaris & Mr Vater come inside. I was just about to have my breakfast.”
Mrs Smith “Would you two gentlemen also like some breakfast. I have cooked enough?”
Mr Vater looked at the sizzling bacon and frying eggs. “Yes please we missed having ours with our grand daughters' this morning. They normally insist I have an orange juice with them at mealtimes.”
Mrs Smith, “In that case I will pour you both a glass each. Thomas also likes to drink orange juice each morning.”
The two men sat down at the table. Thomas, “Mr Draconaris I did not get chance to chat with you last night as all those small girls appeared to monopolise you. Thank you for bringing me home last night. I had no recollection of how I got back here when I awoke. Mum has just informed me you brought me back.”
Mr Vater, “Mrs Smith I presume Thomas does not know he will be spending the remainder of the day with us.”
Thomas, “But I have to go into work. It is only my second day and they will be expecting me. I did after all have quite a bit of time off yesterday and that was my first day.”
Mr Draconaris handed Thomas a mobile telephone. “Just ring into work with this.”
Thomas punched in the firm's telephone number & got Maddy. “Ah Thomas Wendy has gone to the flat and expects to see you there. You are to take the remainder of the week off as there is a lot for you to do. Have Lords Draconaris & Vater arrived yet?”
Thomas, “Mr Draconaris & Vater are having breakfast with me. Gentlemen the person I just spoke to just referred to you as Lords is that correct. Should I bow in your presence?”
Draconaris, “Some people give us that title; others call me Prince Draconaris of Moldavia. The Tiny's all calling me grandpa. The same applies to my brothers we all have many names and hats.”
The mobile telephone played the William Tell tune as Thomas answered it.
Tiny, “Is my grandpa there Thomas? Some of us Tiny's are waiting here at the flat with Wendy for him and you.”
“Can you please put Wendy on?” As Thomas picked up the telephone Mr Draconaris spotted a tattoo on the finger of Thomas.
`
Wendy, “Thomas will you be long? The Tiny's say they need their Grandpa.”
“Wendy we will not be long. Will you tell the Tiny's their Grandpas have both had their orange Juice and are finishing off their bacon & eggs?”
Thomas could hear a cheer over the telephone. Mr Draconaris, “Thomas can you press the button marked Speaker. That is better they can hear us all now. Girls we will be with you in about 10 minutes. Tiny please inform Gaby that Thomas has an interesting tattoo on his finger just like hers. Now Thomas let us look at that mark.”
Mrs Smith, “It is just like mine. Both marks appeared on us at the same time.”
Draconaris & Mr Valter examined the marks. Draconaris, “Well brother these two have at one time been in contact with our sister. She has marked both their fingers.”
Thomas, “We both got the marks on our fingers after helping an old lady who was being threatened by some teenage thugs. Her shopping was all over the floor mum produced some carrier bags and we saw the old lady to her home. Mum you must remember as her home as it was swarming with spiders. You thought one or two of them must have nipped us and left the marks on our fingers.”
“Thomas I well remember that house.”
Mr Vater, “Then you have certainly met our sister the Spider Queen. She recently got married in Fylingdales Church.”
Thomas, “Was the man as old as your sister? She looked so fragile when we met her. Mother sort of adopted her and kept taking her dinners although she is not keen on spiders.”
Mrs Smith, “I thought the old lady told us she was called Justine. She appeared to be on a different wave length as she told us the spiders would always come to our help. I could do with the spiders making me a fantastic dress of spider silk for the wedding. You did say you were called Prince Draco oh my, oh my mother is not as potty as I thought.”
Thomas went to his mother who had gone very pale. “Mum are you ok?”
“Yes Thomas I am ok. Mr Vater are you also known as Neptune or Poseidon. You Mr Draconaris are you known Draco or Prince Dracula. Thomas these two creatures are your uncles, or at least they are if they claim Grandma Fortuna as their sister. Mother is in a nursing home, but I am sure she will recognise these two as her brothers. She will also want to get an outfit for your wedding so we will have to go and collect her.”
Neptune, “Thomas it appears we have to go and collect your grandmother. Apparently your mother is a Princess of Fortuna and it is no wonder Justine was keeping an eye on you. I was a little worried about you Thomas and your association with Wendy however all is in order now. We will transport you the fast way rather than the car we came in.”
Their first port of call was the nursing home. Fortuna was waiting for them. “Mum you look younger. In fact you look almost like an older sister of Thomas.”
Fortuna smiled, “Yes I do look younger. Then it is to be expected as my powers return to me recently. Brothers I am pleased to meet you. Thomas I see you are still a boy? Oh well what will be will be.”
Thomas thought his grandmother was still a little loopy although she now looked more like his sister. With a wave of Draco's hand they were at the flat. Draconaris was mobbed by a gang of tiny girls.
Fortuna looked at the tiny girls, “Brother you have been rather busy. I presume all these tiny's are yours.”
Petal, “The Tiny's are either his daughters or granddaughters. “We Golden Pixies are also his daughters. Or at least 3 of us are the rest are our children.”
Fortuna, “I thought my brother Oberon was the only one to produce pixies.”
Neptune, “My sister these pixies are special. They may have started life as fire pixies. However they were reborn in Draco's blood as golden pixies. All with Draco's blood flowing through their veins they had to become golden.”
Petal, “I see Justine has marked you two like our Gaby.”
“Mother Fortuna my uncles have just informed us the same thing that we have been marked by your sister Justine.”
Tiny, “Fortuna the Empress through me, bids us welcome you. I presume you realise you will not be returning to the nursing home. You will return with the Tiny's to our current home. Gaby says she will meet us back at the Meadow hall shopping complex as she did not get all she wanted yesterday. Apparently she is bringing Galadriel & Daughters.”
Thomas's mother, “Mother I thought your mind was wandering with all those stories you told me. So uncles does Baccus also exist?”
Draconaris, “Fortuna is he your daughter's father? If so Gaby needs to know as he has other daughters he recently claimed.”
Thomas, “Granny always told me her partner had to go away looking for work. Why did Tiny call the others who are meeting up with us the Heavy mob?”
Petal changed to human form. “Thomas do you follow football? Well we are like football we have our Premier League, our first second third and fourth divisions. Your Grandma & Baccus are sort of league one teams while the heavy mob are the premier league teams. Normal pixies come in at around the third or fourth division. I and my sisters though jumped to the Premier league as we are consorts of the Queen. Baccus is very quiet unless he has a party to organise. Currently he is busy organising a premier league reception for your joint wedding with Chris & Julia.”
Thomas started to laugh. “I do not like football but I understand your reasoning. Wendy & I will be in the non-league stage.”
Fortuna, “Actually you will be higher as you are mine & Baccus grandchild.”
Meanwhile many miles away the Sontarians had made the moon their base. They did not entirely trust the Cybermen or Loki. Instead of waiting for the 31 st October as planned they decided to attempt a pre-emptive strike before that date and take the planet for themselves.
Sepal created a portal and all at the flat walked into the Meadow Hall Shopping Complex. There Gaby & friends were waiting for them.
Gaby, “Hi Thomas we did not get much chance to chat yesterday.” As Gaby was talking to Thomas an old fashioned police call box materialised inside the shopping centre.
A man wearing a trilby hat and a multicoloured scarf came out of it.
“Hello I am the Doctor and I am looking for Gaby Bond or Battenberg.”
Gaby, “Welcome Time lord. I believe I am the person you are looking for. What can we do for you?”
The doctor bowed. “Your majesty I have discovered a plan to attack you and this planet. Well at least two plans. The original plan was a combined attack. However the Sontarians intend to attack some time soon. Possibly this weekend. While the Cyberman along with Loki intend to attack you on All Hallows.”
“Yes doctor I am fully aware of what is to transpire later today. If the Sontarians decide to attack as expected. They will feel the full wrath of the Draco's.”
The doctor smiled, “So my old friend Draco is already here. It is a long time since I saw Draco and his daughters. I did not realise you were friends with him.”
The doctor felt a slap on his back. “Greetings doctor I presume you are still using that old Tardis. It is about time you upgraded it to a newer model. Gaby this is the doctor his enemy's are ours. I already have summoned the killer matrons to deal with the potential problem of the Sontarians. Andorra and Endora| are providing the protection today. If the Sontarians do attack then the matrons will enact Dragon & Eagle law. Even I cannot stop them for that is the law”
Fortuna, “Brother's if there is to be trouble I will stand by my Queen.”
Gaby, “Yes Fortuna you will stand by me as you are not yet up to full power. I see Granny Peters is here with the Grandma's and her sisters.”
The doctor bowed to the ladies. “Greetings Galadriel and all your companions. I came to warn Gaby of an intended attack. However I see my help is not needed so I will be going.”
Granny Peters. “You will stay as our guests. Fortuna as you are Thomas's Grandma you get to join the granny section.”
Fortuna started to giggle, “I suppose I do belong to the granny group. However as I appear to have regenerated recently I look as if I should be in a younger group.”
Maddy was also laughing away. “Fortuna there are many sections and subsections, you are in like your sisters you are in the Goddess section. Every one of us is in the Gaby section in some way. Your child and grandchild along with Gaby got enrolled in the Justine section. Justine at the time did not realise she was protecting the Golden Queen. She though could feel the untapped power of the child.”
Thomas, “Please can we get on with the shopping before this battle starts.” As luck would have it the attack came late on in the afternoon. Gaby had just finished the days shopping when a woman ran screaming. “Aliens, We are being attacked by aliens.”
Fortuna was stood at Gaby's right side. The tiny's sat on the floor in front of them. Gaby could hear the battle raging outside in the shopping centre. Six Sontarians made it into the shopping centre. They had been instructed to destroy all life forms they came across. They fired on Gaby's group. The group was protected by magic and the rays just bounced off the protective ring. Gaby raised her hand and released what to Thomas looked like a ball of fire. The ball hit the Sontarians and they just vanished.
Thomas, “What happened to them? Where have they gone?”
Petal, “They have just learned that nobody fires on a Golden Queen. They also just signed the death warrants of all their comrades in arms.”
Another of the Sontarians had managed to get into the centre and was about to fire on Thomas. When the biggest spider Thomas had ever seen appeared and spun her thread around the Sontarian creating a cocoon. Then thousands of tiny spiders appeared and dragged the cocoon away. Justin appeared as herself.
“Greetings Sister. I got the messages and decided I did not want to miss out on the events. Thomas this form you now see is my normal shape.” An elderly man appeared with two girls dressed in red like Justine was.
“Mummy, Mummy the dragons are chasing the rest of the invaders away. Daddy allowed us to zap one with our power balls. We managed to knock it over and then the little devils took over. They allowed Nessie to gobble it up.”
Thousands of pixies arrived. Bluebell was leading them. “Gaby all invaders are now gone. We and the tiny army have cleared away the rubbish. Endora & the Matrons have returned to the moon to ensure no Sontarians are left. Nessie says they taste like pork.”
Petal looked at the pixies. “Mum we and the Tiny's need to prove we may be small but we can be just as deadly as any dragon.”
Thomas held his hand out. “I am Thomas & Fortuna is my Grandma. Do you mind if I call you cousins?”
Tiny, “Thomas you and Wendy are getting some of us as your bridesmaids and Flower girls. If you wish to call us cousins that are acceptable as in a way we all are.”
Gaby looked at the massed ranks of pixies. She noticed there were more pixies than the Golden Pixies. Bluebell, “Gaby the babies summoned all
Gaby smiled as the eldest Pixie stepped forward and curtsied. “Mistress I came in recently with the Devon & Cornish pixies. They decided that if Petal can endure the flames of Draco then they could take on the Sontarians.”
“Did you see us? “We dragged away the ones Justine & her daughters caught.”
Wendy, “It was you that did that. I thought it was thousands of spiders.”
Petal, “Justine sort of adopted some of my children and they still help out if required.To be continued.
