Since we only got one story, there is no poll so the awesome prize of a Spiced Pumpkin Coffee goes to bunnyrabt for this story:
Oh this can't be happening," exclaims Malla, "I'm not ready at all for this theme week! Dlfreak has been so busy I just haven't--Oh no, what will I tell Alexia?!" Malla paces back and forth wondering how she'll get all the decorations up in time for the theme week. Just as she's about to break down, Alexia walks in...
Well deserved despite the lack of competition! Congratulations!

She was carrying something in her arms with a golden cloth draped over it. It looked like some kind of box. Malla had no idea what it could be, and her curiosity was peaked.
Alexia carefully placed the box on the table in Malla’s dining room, right under the magical crystal chandelier.
“Please turn on the light, Malla. I want to show you something,” said Alexia with a sly grin.
Malla hurried over to the light switch, flipped it on, and sparkling faerie light flooded the room. She could hardly wait to see what was under the golden cloth!
Alexia smiled at Malla, and said, “I understand that you have been quite upset because the deadline for the theme week decorations is upon you, and you have been so busy working with Dlfreak that you are behind in your creations. There really is no cause for alarm, because I have brought you an enchanted miniature banquet hall.”
And with those words, Alexia waved her hand with that special way she has, and the golden cloth disappeared, revealing the most exquisite miniature that Malla had ever seen. Her eyes widened as she realized it was an exact replica of the very banquet hall that she was supposed to get ready for Halloween Theme Week! But she didn’t understand at all how this tiny room was going to help her prepare such a huge hall with all the decorations that she had planned. Her shoulders slumped a bit with disappointment, and that small movement wasn’t lost on Alexia.
Alexia smiled a soft little smile, and said, “Let me explain, my dear. This isn’t just a replica…it IS the banquet hall. I placed an enchantment on it temporarily, just for you. All you have to do is look into it, and picture in your mind how you want it to be. You can be as extravagant as you want, and it will appear before you. You can even visualize the food and drink exactly as you desire it, and it will be on the tables the second you think the thoughts. Everything will be relative in size to this tiny room, but don’t despair. As soon as you are finished, convey to me the thought that it is done, and I will restore the banquet hall to it’s rightful location with a wave of my hand!”
Malla was so relieved and happy that she threw her arms around Alexia and gave her an excited hug. She could hardly wait to get started, and turned to the enchanted miniature banquet hall and began thinking of pumpkins and scarecrows and all manner of Halloween decorations! To her delight, everything she saw in her mind appeared instantly!
Alexia watched her fondly for a moment, feeling very fulfilled indeed, that she was able to solve Malla’s dilemma and make her so happy, all in one magical moment. She swept off to see to the rest of the kingdom, leaving Malla happily humming to herself and busily decorating the banquet hall.
This would undoubtedly be the best decorated banquet hall the kingdom had ever had for Halloween Theme Week!
Well deserved despite the lack of competition! Congratulations!
