The Unlikely Sisterhood of Fortune

-

Peggy Anglz had been at rock bottom for what felt like all of her young life. She had finished college with a degree and lofty aspirations, but poverty ensued as she failed to scramble her way up the job ladder. With nearly no money in her pocket and her dreams of a better future vanishing in thin air, Peggy had ultimately resigned to a life of destitution.

One morning, however, a golden opportunity shows itself in the form of of a middle-aged lady in a business suit. Upon seeing her, Peggy immediately remembers her from her childhood, when she had had visions of a powerful figure lurking menacingly in the shadows of opportunity. But, Peggy's fairy godmother was nothing like the gregarious, toothless old woman of classic fairytales. Instead, with a stern face, a coffee mug in her hand and a briefcase in the other, she brought to Peggy a newfound strength and courage.

The fairy godmother brought with her an unexpected offer of resources to help Peggy fulfill her goals, that she called an "investment" of sorts. With a few words of wisdom for Peggy to bring her career dreams to life in her favor, the godmother transported Peggy into an alternate reality where she could excel in the corporate world and begin to pave her way towards a comfortable future.

Armed with this incredible new presence of rejuvenation and ambition, Peggy embraced the challenges and changes promised to her by the godmother, namely, a better job and improved living conditions. As the days and months passed, Peggy slowly began to move up the corporate ladder with remarkable gusto, cracking and closing deals regularly and earning huge bonuses as rewards. Suddenly, with enough money to pursue a life of independence, Peggy had gone from rags to riches in what felt like a split second.

However, while living in newfound bliss Peggy couldn’t help but feel something was still missing deep down inside. Every other day she recognized the same figure lurking behind her in her dreams – her impossible yet benevolent fairy godmother – who had set in motion all of these unexpected successes. This powerful figure noted attentively in the sidelines of Peggy's newfound corporate rise to fame, a once forgotten vision had returned to her again.

But, it wasn't until a crucial event transpiring at Peggy's place of work that she truly understood the role her dream-like benefactor had in setting her career in motion. As one of Peggy's co-workers was seduced by the greed of corporate greed, he sought to use inside information to increase his own saving at the expense of his company. Reminded of her own troubled past and her godmother's interrelated advice, Peggy knew she had to right this wrong and bring her colleague back to a moral head.

Inspired, Peggy initiates a daring plan to get the upper hand on her co-worker and hits him at his own game. Using her shrewd negotiation skills with her unsuspecting colleague, Peggy managed to use her good intentions and decisive steps to blow the whistle and earn exoneration of her co-worker. In the end, Peggy single-handedly saved her employer from a major financial scandal, earning her recognition and appreciation beyond anything she had yet seen in her trials before.

Reflecting as the dust of the incident settled, Peggy stumbled upon an epiphany as bright and powerful as the godmother's invigorating presence four months ago. Harnessing the strength of her youthful dreams and her godmother's guidance, Peggy reached an inner understanding that guidance and power was always latent within her, and had only been revealed quantitatively by her fairy godmother's mysterious intervention. With her vision reborn, she set off to refresh those around her, just as the godmother had done to her so many months ago.

As Peggy had grown in stature, she made it her personal mission to help those in hardship find their luck – just as her godmother had done for her. In the end, Peggy was renewed with an inner power, as she turned her vision into reality, making her a new beacon of hope; guided by the moment of clarity and duty gifted to her by her Fairy Godmother.
