About this ebook
Nobody wants to take Rhea seriously? That's fine. She'll just outwit them and make plots of her own.
Never underestimate the villainous fashion designer.
Florence has been taken seriously before she's ready. She's been thrown into the big time, and if she doesn't prove herself fast, her dream will end before it even begins.
What should she do now?

Books were my first love and best friends growing up, which I did in five states and four countries. My love of storytelling has never waned, and I've always wanted to write -- and share -- my own stories.I love fantasy, especially fairy tale retellings, fascinating magic systems, humor, and clean paranormal romance. I like science fiction too, but the more magic in a story, the more pleased I'm likely to be.I have two comics, the first of them complete, the second ongoing. I enjoy reading, writing, drawing, crafts, editing, and I occasionally play videogames.

To Prevent Fresh Starts - Emily Martha Sorensen
Chapter 1: The Preparation
Empty seats stretched out in front of them in vast rows. Florence and her family were being allowed to preboard the airplane because they were the special guests of the president of Mágico. They’d even been given first class seats.
My private plane is all booked for the morning of the 19th,
Presidente Eloise Santos’s letter had said apologetically, "but that would be the best time for you to travel here, as I have an empty space in my schedule that afternoon. Would you be willing to travel by commercial jet instead? If so, I can arrange for you to have complimentary first class seats on our national airline."
When Florence had opened that letter, she’d stared at it in shock. Presidente Santos wants to have someone meet with me? Me?! The president of an entire country?!
This after spending three months trying to get the attention of a single person back home. No one had listened to her explanation about why a magical girl government was necessary, and some of the groups she’d presented her ideas to had laughed. One man had even, insultingly, told her, Sweetheart, if you want to run this thing to get more rights for magical girls, try graduating from high school first.
Talk about completely missing the point!
First of all, she hadn’t been talking about trying to get more rights for magical girls, she’d been talking about the need for more oversight, which was practically the opposite.
And second, she’d never said she wanted to run it! All she wanted was for this organization to exist. After that, she’d be happy to fade back into the background and resume normal life again. Of course she wasn’t qualified to run something like a worldwide bureaucracy! Duh!
But when her father had written to the ambassador of Mágico, they had gotten an unbelievable personal response filled with enthusiasm, taking the idea perfectly seriously.
Not from the ambassador her father had written to. Oh, no.
From that country’s president.
I can’t believe we’re on an airplane,
Florence whispered to herself, standing in the doorway and staring out at the vast, empty rows. "An airplane!"
She’d never flown in her life.
Well, no, that wasn’t true. She’d flown under her own power, of course, with Pink Dragon’s bat wings. But flying on an airplane, miles and miles up in the sky? It was unbelievable. Airplanes were something for rich people, and her family was hardly rich. Her father was a pastor.
She’d never been out of the country before, much less to a different continent. Sure, there were magical girls who got invited to travel to other worlds to save civilizations of mascots, but her team had never been one of them. The farthest Florence had ever traveled was a ten-hour drive to see her grandmother, still in the same state.
And now they were flying to South America to visit Terra de Liberdade e Mágica, a.k.a. Land of Liberty and Magic,
called Mágico for short. It was famous for being the country with the highest concentration of magical girls in the world.
Well, unless you counted Antarctica, which needed magical girls to keep the climate temperate within its settlements.
Or Moon Base, whose bubble cities required magical girls to keep air circulating.
But neither of those places was a country in its own right. They were both Australian colonies. Mágico was its own country. Every nation but Brazil, which they’d broken off from, recognized that. It
