Chapter 4: The ToyBox

  Trixie had many teachers across her long and very exciting life (Really, only the past year), and they all started the class in the same boring way.

  Mana is what breathed life upon the world.

  Mana is a gift from god.

  Mana is…

  Mana…

  Mana this, mana that.

  Some spoke about the Circle, some referred to the Core, and there was this one weird blonde guy who spoke about Skills? Weird guy with blue eyes, probably some nutjob or something.

  Trixie had thought about more important things though, she knew what her Circle did, she knew what her Magic was, and she of course knew how Mana moved and reacted to it. She had been living all her life under the blessing of Mana; from the moment of her birth, she had been able to feel and move Mana.

  It was why she was the cutest of all the girls; it was why she was the smartest one too. And more importantly, it was why she could eat candy and not get a toothache!

  But what mattered the most, it was why she could help Papa in moments like these.

  Whenever she really wanted her Circle to move, when she wanted her Magic to act upon the world, it was always the same. The first thing she needed was to move the mana within her body towards her Circle. One of the dumbs teachers she had once spoke about where the Circle was built.

  He went on and on about how it was important to build it in the right spot; he spoke about chakras, dantians, and whatnot.

  Really very dumb, why would that matter? It may matter to dumb people like them who had to make their own Circles manually, but to Trixie? It mattered not. She could use the ToyBox to solve those problems.

  So yes, for the dumb people where the Circle was may be important, but to Trixie? That couldn't be less important, for her ToyBox was where Trixie needed it the most to help her achieve what she needed. Trixie knew that she…was not the smartest one.

  All her teachers said so whenever she made them speak the truth. That Trixie was powerful but dumb. She wasn't that dumb….maybe.

  Trixie had no way to compare, she didn't have a twin Trixie to check, and whenever she attempted to make one Papa always got mad at her, and the new Trixie couldn't even play with her…She wondered what had happened to Trixie #723…

  But that was besides the point, Trixie's ToyBox was where she needed it, in her head, since it was inside her head, it was easier for Trixie to use her power, since as soon as she thought about it, the ToyBox would listen to it and move in tandem with what Trixie needed.

  Like now.

  "Open the ToyBox." Trixie said with a smile as her hair started moving as if the wind was blowing into her.

  She could feel her eyes shining with purple light as the world's color faded away for a second only to be replaced with stage lights, Trixie really had wanted to see her favorite band on stage, but since they had left…well, she could probably get away with using this…Green fella instead.

  "Remember the rules, Trixie?" Papa asked as soon as he could move yet again, he always was among the first ones to recover whenever Trixie opened her ToyBox.

  Trixie wasn't sure if it was because he was Papa or because he had that weird setup of five stacked Circles. Papa was weird sometimes like that.

  "Yes," Trixie answered, turning to gaze at Papa, who, like always, couldn't help himself but stop to admire Trixie's cutestest smile; whenever Trixie looked at him with the ToyBox open, he would do this, really. Papa loved Trixie so much!

  But right, the rules for the ToyBox!

  "One, Trixie can't keep anything that wasn't inside the ToyBox unless Papa lets Trixie keep it," Trixie said raising a finger, Papa nodded at the statement that Trixie made, so she continued speaking, "Two, Trixie must not help or hinder papa directly in any way or form using the ToyBox."

  The second rule made Trixie sad, Papa would be so much more cooler if he let Trixie help him! Trixie promised to not change him even! (Too much anyway)

  But rules were rules…And Trixie would make sure the bad person who told Papa about that to never leave the ToyBox…

  "Good," Papa said, nodding at Trixie, "Go on."

  "Three, Trixie must close the ToyBox whenever Papa says so." Trixie also hated that rule, it always meant that whenever Trixie was having the most fun it would end, Papa would always close it whenever Trixie was getting into a good mood. "Four, Trixie must focus all her attention into the baddies that Papa brought into the ToyBox only."

  Trixie…would admit that she would also enhance some of the White butlers and knights whenever they were around…Just a little bit!

  They were so pitiful before Trixie helped them! So rude! So pitiful!

  And now they were so much better! They all were so cool! And they even had their own cool signature weapons!

  "And?" Papa asked, making sure that Trixie continued speaking.

  "Five, only the People of White can remember the existence of the ToyBox." Trixie said this one, turning to look at the Green person, "You know what that means, right?"

  "....What is this? What is that! How? This…There is no way a magic such as this exists!" The Green person said, struggling against his bindings; perhaps before Trixie opened the ToyBox, he could escape.

  If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

  Trixie could feel this Green Person Circle attempting to struggle. All it took was a smirk from Trixie to snuff the Circle away.

  "...Pffft," And the Green person spat blood, Green blood as a Green person should, but even so, so rude. Why did they all always do that whenever Trixie touched their Circles, so….pitiful.

  "What is this! What did you do to my Circle!" The Green person screamed at Trixie, he thrashed so hard that he ripped out the swords from his shoulders and attempted to move forward, a meaningless effort.

  "*Le dramatic snap*" For all it took was for Trixie to snap her fingies (She knew how to snap her fingies!), and the Green person was raised from the ground by a pair of vines that grew from…from….from the ground!

  "Trixie…Can you get him ready?" Papa asked as he walked towards Trixie, but weirdly enough he stood behind Trixie.

  Why did Papa always stand behind Trixie whenever she opened the ToyBox? Trixie didn't know.

  "What is this witchery!" The Green person asked, "This…Is this even the same world?"

  Weird question…Of course it was the same world!

  It was Trixie’s ToyBox!

  Granted, the sky was now made out of soda instead of whatever the sky was made of, the clouds were made of cotton candy, the floor was made of chocolate, the trees were made of caramel and the people that Trixie didn't like were all powerless worms in the floor…

  But it was the real world! The same real world that they had been all the time!

  It was just that now it was inside Trixie's ToyBox!

  "Trixie?" Papa asked yet again, right, Trixie always got distracted whenever she opened the ToyBox!

  "Right…As Papa asked, speak bad person." Trixie spoke and turned to the bad person, raising her hand and raising her fingies towards the bad person, a purple flame igniting into her fingie, "You really want to answer Papa's questions…and with honesty, only the truth. Telling lies is bad and FORBIDDEN within the ToyBox."

  As she spoke the last words, she sent the flame into the bad person's head, Trixie felt the flame mesh with the bad person's brain juices, and soon the bad person's eyes turned purple, a clear effect of him being under Trixie's ToyBox.

  This always was easier whenever these people didn't have a Circle, stupid bad person coming under Trixie's ToyBox without a circle to defend him. Heh.

  "Yes…" The bad person said nodding absentimently.

  "He is ready Papa!" Trixie said, turning and smiling at Papa, who again stopped for a second and then smiled back at Trixie.

  "Thank you Trixie," Papa said ruffling Trixie's hair slowly and methodically, he always was like this inside the ToyBox…did he not like it? But he asked for it!

  Either way, Papa ended up ruffling Trixie's hair a little too fast! But he wanted to speak with the bad guy, and whenever Papa wanted to speak with bad guys it was for a reason!

  "Speak, who sent you here? What was your mission? Is there a spy within our ranks?" Papa asked one after the next, his voice stone cold (And coolz with Z, it was that cool!)

  "I…We…we decided to come and purge you the evil within your ranks…" The baddie started speaking, evil? There wasn't evil within them!

  Trixie's family was the Family of White! They were the good guys! They dressed in white after all!

  "We…decided by our own choice to come…the boss…. didn't want to fight against the evil…since his daughter's birthday….is coming…." The baddie continued speaking.

  The B-word girl's Birthday?!?!? That bad person! How dare she have a birthday the same year as Trixie! So rude!

  "And spies?" Papa asked, his eyes glaring at the bad person.

  "We…I don't know of any spies….within…the ranks of White…" The bad person said, but that was the wrong answer, "*Thud*"

  For Papa looped the bad person's arm away! It was a good thing that they were within the ToyBox, if not the bad person would have dirtied the floor with his nasty green blood!

  But since they were within the ToyBox, Trixie didn't allow him to bleed from his shoulder, since that would interrupt Papa!

  "Useless…" Papa said shaking his head and sighing, "Trixie, fix his arm please."

  Trixie nodded and willed his arm back to his shoulder, "Silly bad person, why did you lose an arm? You should treasure your arm; how are you going to hold things without an arm?" Trixie said shaking her head like how Papa did whenever Trixie did an oopsie.

  "Thank you Mistress of White," The bad person said thanking Trixie, but that title…

  "Tch…" That title always made Papa angry. So Trixie didn't like it, but the people within the ToyBox always referred to Trixie as such.

  "Trixie, prepare the other people." Papa said, almost growling, "I want an answer."

  "But Papa…Trixie would need to expand the range of the ToyBox…here…most are in other places of the house…" Trixie said, not answering immediately since Trixie knew, within the ToyBox…

  Trixie knew that what Papa wanted was not the same as what Papa said.

  "Do it! Only extend enough of the ToyBox to encase the other Greens!" Papa roared at Trixie, and after a few seconds, he calmed down, he always calmed down, within the ToyBox papa always understood and calmed down. Even without Trixie doing anything to help Papa.

  "I'm sorry Trixie…" Because Papa loved Trixie and knew Trixie only wanted to help, "... I'm sorry…I…I just can’t….not today…”

  Because today was Trixie's Birthday! It was a special day!

  "....Just….try to not affect the guests and people watching." Papa said, and Trixie knew he meant it this time.

  "Aye sir!" So Trixie saluted and nodded, "I'll make sure they don't notice Trixie's ToyBox!"

  It would be easy enough, because since Trixie had opened the ToyBox fully, she was able to affect anything that had been affected before by her ToyBox…And would you see…Most of the Knights of White have been affected by Trixie before!

  So it was easy enough to have a knight of white pass by one of the greenies that was subjgadated…It was easier enough to deal with the greens that had turned into butlers since they themselves had been affected directly by Trixie's power.

  So she merely pulled them all in within the ToyBox!

  "Come!" Trixie said, extending her arms and walking up into the air, her feet standing in solid barriers within the air, helping her stand up and above everyone else, "Come into Trixie's ToyBox! Come and gather! Come and play! Come and enjoy!"

  Trixie spoke and one by one all the greens that attacked them started raining down into the ToyBox!

  Those that had been incapacitated coming into the ToyBox were already tied up; those that hadn't got pulled in as soon as a Knight of White touched them, Trixie merely channeling her power through the Knight of White.

  And those that managed to escape?

  Trixie had to exert herself, but it was easy enough to help a Knight of White who was chasing them to pull them in.

  Soon around fifteen Greenies had appeared within the ToyBox, some confused, some alarmed, most quiet, since most were eepy in the floor!(The butlers who refused to move)

  "What are these?" Papa asked while walking towards one of the butlers who had run out of muffins and Tea. "Trixie? Why did you pull these in?"

  "Because they are greens and Papa wanted answers!" Trixie said, smiling and looking down at them, "They will answer…They all will answer all of Papa's questions…"

  Trixie said as she pulled into her Circle, it always seemed to strain itself a little when she did this, but she needed to do it, for they may have the answers that Papa wanted.

  "Rise and shine Greenie….Papa needs you to answer, and as a butler you can't so you may return to what you were before…" As Trixie spoke, the figures of the butlers with pastries and Tea fountains in their bodies started to shine, one by one their figure slowly changed back into what they had been before.

  Where they black-haired? White-Haired? Green-Haired? Trixie didn't know, but she didn't need to know, for they themselves knew what they were before, they all knew what they were before. It was part of what it made so fun to play with them!

  Their Circles…their very essence complained and screamed while Trixie played with them after all! It was not fun if they didn't fight back after all.

  "Return to your roots and stand once more in front of me, Humans, for Trixie White demands your presence once more." Trixie finished her speech, and soon all the former butlers stood with confused and panicked expressions in front of Trixie, looking up at her. "There you have it Papa, they all should be able to answer you now."

  "....Thank you, Trixie," Papa said while slowly looking away from Trixie with a weird face, and…was he sweating? Was it warm? Trixie's ToyBox should be a nice cool temperature though?

  Was Papa sick?!?!?!?

  All because of these silly Green people! They were baddies! Anyone that made Papa sick was a baddie!!!

  Wha-wha-what should Trixie do?!?!?!?!?

  She couldn't cure Papa! That would be helping him! And she couldn't pull the Doctor here either! Papa didn't like it when Trixie used her Circle on him!

  Aaaaaaaaahhh!!!!

  Papa was going to dieeeeee!!!!

  Heeeeeeeeelp!!!!!!!!
