Lucy, A Model Who Seems to Have it All

From the outside looking in, most people would have assumed Lucy had the perfect life. Stunningly beautiful, a successful model and social media star with a horde of admirers, and dating an extremely wealthy and dashingly handsome business executive, every box seemed to be ticked.

She felt pretty happy with her lot too. Though some of those close to her knew her personal life wasn't quite as picture perfect as it seemed. Many of Lucy's friends felt Jay, who she had been with for a couple of years now, was actually a bit of a jerk. He was cocky for sure, and with his good looks and wealth it was all too easy for him to bed other beautiful women. Though he had never been caught doing that, it was not uncommon for him to flirt with them right in front of Lucy, and he was quick to remind her how easy it would be for him to find someone else when they argued. Plus, the general consensus was that he was just a bit of a dick.

Nonetheless, Lucy was missing him while he was abroad on his latest business trip. She soon had company though, as she was instead joined in the luxury penthouse they shared by a strange woman in a fairy costume.

"What the....!" Lucy exclaimed as Priscilla materialised from nowhere in front of her as she worked out on her treadmill "How did you get in here? What do you want?"

"Relax! I'm your Fairy Godmother, and I'm here to make your wishes come true!"

"Fairy Godmother? Do I look like Cinderella?!"

"Actually, you kind of do"

"Huh? Well, I don't believe in fairies. I'm happy with what I have anyway, so can you please leave before I call security?"

"Happy eh? You weren't so content with life when your boyfriend Niall ditched you for Wendy Johnson though, were you now?"

"What? Are you insane? I was about fifteen when that happened. And how did you even find out about it anyway? I barely even remember it myself"

"Then you probably won't remember what you wished for as a result" Priscilla cocked an eyebrow.

"Obviously not"

"Well, here it is in your own words" cue dramatic pause "I wish my taste in guys was completely the opposite of what it is now. Instead of the cute ones, I wish I only fell for total geeks and losers who look like shit and nobody else wants. I wish they did it for me, because I bet they'd be easier to date"

"What? You can't be serious!? That was ten years ago and it wasn't even a real wish!"

"It sure sounded like a wish to me"

Priscilla waved her wand and Lucy was temporarily enveloped in pink and silver glitter. Once it had dissipated, she was suddenly looking very confused.

"Okay, my work here is done for now. I'll be on my way" the fairy excused herself as she vanished from the room.

Now Lucy was alone again, and not missing Jay nearly as much as before. In fact, she was wondering what she had ever seen in him.
