The fairy god-mother said "Hurry and change dresses!  We're almost out of time."  She fluttered around until Lilith was finished and then urged her down the stairs.  They past through the house, which had once been her father's and should have been her haven.  Instead, it had served as her prison.  Finally they past outside into the courtyard.<br/><br/>"I never gave you a christening present, despite being your god-mother.  I was waiting until you needed these."  She waved her wand and two glass shoes appeared.  They were beautiful, and also seemed quite durable, despite the material they were made from.  Once Lilith had the shoes on, the fairy hovered above her head.<br/><br/>The fairy god-mother tinkled again, and shook some dust on Lilith's head.  Suddenly Lilith rose slowly from the ground.  She felt weightlessness take over, as she rose up above her own house and then far enough up to see the entire town.  The fairy pushed her in the direction of the party and started them moving along at an astonishing rate of speed.<br/><br/>"Now remember child, the party only lasts until twelve for you and then my magic dust will whisk you back home again.  Well be there in a few minutes."  Below them, the town moved.  The people looked tiny, as they moved through the street, as did the horse drawn carriages pulling up to a mansion house, some half mile away.  "Take a good look girl, for your view won't be as good in the dark.  It is likely that you will never get to fairy fly again!"
