“But Mommy?” Asked Josh, six years old at the time, “Why couldn’t she go? Just because she wasn’t a little girl anymore?”
Willow smiled at her two children. “Well, dear,” she explained, “faeries are much the same as humans. When we’re little, we do not question the magical. It’s easy for little kids like you,” she tapped Josh’s nose, capturing his interest and provoking a smile, “to believe in faeries. Faeries outgrow believing that humans are creatures that they could ever meet.”
“But the princess still believed!” said five-year-old Sarah. “why couldn’t she go?”
“Because no one would allow her to. Faeries have rules, and however silly they may seem, they abide by them. But, the princess never stopped believing, and that’s why she sent her daughter over.”
Josh nuzzled up to his mother, a loving smile plastered on his face. “I’ll never stop believing in faeries! Never,” he yawned, “never ever.”
“Me either!” Sarah exclaimed.
“As it should be,” Willow smiled.

    This one, I like. Not quite sure how it fits in, but I like it for itself.

    I like how you added this in. It reminds me of William Goldman’s THE PRINCESS BRIDES , the parts with the boy and his grandfather (in the original book, it’s Goldman as a boy and HIS father), and I like how you put it alongside the main narrative, rather than into it. It gives the reader the choice to either read the story, or pop over here for perspective. I hope you toss a few more of these in along the way as you go on, even if it makes the story sorta weblike…
