However, Laurel is planning to go back to Avalon after school, and after her boyfriend David.

Avalon, Laurel's home, is much different than Earth. For instance, everyone there is extremely beautiful and graceful. This is shown in the scene where Laurel goes to see the faerie ballet and everyone there is more talented than the best of Earth's dancers. Second, the faeries there do not charge for money. If you are of higher rank, season wise, than the other the clothing/jewelry/etc. is free. Laurel received many free clothing and much jewelry in her stay at Avalon. And finally, there are no "parents" in Avalon. The seeds, or baby faeries, are kept in gardens until ready to go out on their own. Parents would only be in the way of their growth.
