An Interview with Daisy from the "Fairy Tale Matchmaker" Series
By: Oakley Treekin
When did you first meet Cory?
I've known Cory my whole life. She was in the clamshell bassinet next to mine in the maternity ward right after we were born and we hit it off right away. My mother said I cried when Cory went home before I did. Our mothers used to set up playdates for us even when we were still really little. When we were old enough, we walked to each other's houses all the time.
How many boyfriends have you had?
Oh, gee… I don't keep track. Hundreds I guess. Sometimes we date for a few days, sometimes for a few weeks. I dated one boy for half a semester when I was in Junior Fey School. He was really nice, but he was on track to be a wizard and I was taking all flower fairy classes, so we both knew it wasn't going to last.
Who is your current boyfriend?
Lester Foghorn. He's the announcer at the Hoof and Claw Race track. We're going to the satyr races this week and he's letting me sit in the announcer's booth with him. He has a great voice and can be very loud when he wants to. Some announcers need megaphones, but not Lester.
Do you trust that Cory will find your true love for you?
Of course! She's my best friend and you should always help your best friend. I am surprised she hasn't done it already, but she has been busy dealing with the guilds that won't stop tormenting her just because she quit the Tooth Fairy Guild. Even so, it shouldn't be too hard for her to find my true love. I've found all my boyfriends without any trouble.
What do you think of humans?
I've met quite a few humans and have even dated some. The ones I've dated have all been very nice, but they're kind of limited, if you know what I mean. They can't fly, they have no magic at all, they can't crush rocks with their bare hands and they can't run faster than a unicorn. There's nothing really special about them, other than their personalities and good looks.
How do you like being a flower fairy?
I love it! I get to see flowers at their best and help them when they need it. I'm outside all day and working with a great bunch of fairies who love flowers as much as I do. I think it's the best job in the fey world and I wouldn't want to do anything else.
Do you think Cory was right to quit the Tooth Fairy Guild?
I sure do! I've been telling her should quit for ages. I always say that if you aren't happy at your job, you should find a job you enjoy or you'll spend your life being miserable. Cory never liked being a tooth fairy. She stayed with the job only because her mother said it would get better, but it never did.
