origfic_bingo, prompt: magic. This one's just a little snippet of something.
The sun set on the summer evening, the oranges and reds lighting up the sky and tinting the two girls in the grass the color of the red curls tumbling down the smaller girl's back.
"It's real," she insisted to her taller, plainer companion, the other girl's brown hair lighting up with fleeting red highlights as the sun slowly sank below the horizon. "There are things out there that you can't explain otherwise."
"Okay, so if it's real, prove it," the other girl said, plucking a dandelion puff and lazily twirling it between her fingers.
"Like you'd believe me if I could," the redhead sulked. Her friend sighed, blew the seeds off the dandelion puff, and sat up to give the smaller girl a hug.
"I will," she said. "I just don't like believing in anything I can't see."
"There's a lot about magic you can't see," the redhead pointed out, to her friend's apparent amusement. "Don't laugh!"
"You're just being silly, Dee." The brunette scrambled to her feet, and held her hand out to help the redhead up. "Come on, let's go back and get dinner and you can prove it to me after."
"Fine." The redhead pulled herself up, grinned wickedly, and took off running. "Race you!" she called back over her shoulder. Her friend let out a bark of laughter and took off after her, her ponytail coming loose to let her hair stream out behind her in the last dying light of the sunset.
The fox crouching in the bushes near the spot where they'd sat watched them before picking up her rabbit supper and heading back to her den. She wouldn't eat it tonight, but it would save until tomorrow. There was something different about those two, and the Queen would want to hear of it.
She intended to be the one to tell the Queen and reap the benefits.
