The Daisy Express was always notorious amongst all other magical train services, not for any
good reasons, the train's routes were determined via a magical orb that was wrong half the
time, although the exteriors seemed humble the inside of the train was a maze passengers
often got lost in the long and impossible hallways and tunnels trying to reach to their suites, and
the employees were a mix of bored witches and magical creatures that often complicated their
service and inadvertently put the lives of everyone around them in danger...but the rides were
cheap so the train wasn't all that bad.
As the train departed, the staff's only server, Jihan, stumbled out of her room. Her uniform
messy and her keys dangling off the side of her pant's pockets, her hair was in its usual messy
and unkempt state; it poofed around covering most of her forehead and sneaking into the top of
her dress shirt. As she walked out of her room and into the train's hallways dreading her shift.
Usually she'd pass the work off to anyone else she can trick but today she ran out of excuses to
give to the train's manager Barbara.
‘Great!' Jihan said, struggling with her cravat, ‘Out of all the days I run out of excuses it has to
be the one with the five hour—‘
Out of the corner of her eye Jihan spots a young girl facing the wall, her hair in large
unorganized braids and wearing a straw hat and overalls. Jihan recognized that hat anywhere,
and finding the perfect opportunity to skip work she approached the young girl and lifted her hat
up.
"Hey Leila!" Jihan said leaning over the young girl pouting in the corner "Why're you standing in
the corner?"
Leila pointed to a section of the bar near the passenger suite where there were some crayon
scribbles drawn over the wooden table
"Ahh Barb caught you didn't she?" Jihan said to which Leila nodded
"You feel a bit sad don't you?" Jihan asked, Leila nodded again "sad you got caught?"
Leila nodded
"Hey you know what, I got the perfect thing to cheer you up!" Jihan said
Leila looked back at the corner she was supposed to stand in and pointed at it unsure of what to
do.
"Don't worry I won't tell!" Jihan responded as she winked mischievously at Leila
Leila jumped on Jihan's back as she ran off back into her room avoiding her job successfully.
Jihan swung her room door open and let Leila down, Leila struggled to walk through the vast
expanse of Jihan's unkempt and unorganised room trying to move through the piles of unclean
clothes, magical tools of destruction. Leila picked up a wand she found on the ground before
Jihan snatched that away from her
"No no not that" Jihan said calmly before chucking the wand away "Come here!"
Jihan picked up leila from her shirt collar and plopped her in front of a cabinet propped up by
two almost collapsing pieces of wood. She held the handles and looked down to Leila
"Are ya ready?"
Leila nodded
Jihan made a trumpet sound with her mouth as she shimmied back and forth building up tension
as Leila jumped up and down a slight light emanated from the cabinet Leila leaned in to see the
light closer only for Jihan to open the cabinet in Leila's face.
"OH CRAP–"
