THE PARTY WAS TODAY!

THE PARTY WAS TODAY! IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!

I ate and drank so many things! IT WAS ALL DELICIOUS! This is what I ate and drank: nectar punch, acorn milk, moss soup, Smallified peaches (I just licked mine and gave the rest to Rudy).

I licked the honey off of my petal cake. I saved the petals. I will put them with my snakeskin.

I played so many games! I played got-your-wing and pin-the-spots-on-the-ladybug (the ladybug kept moving!) and loop-de-loop and lick-the-mushroom and who-has-the-feather!

Everyone hit the snail-shell ball with a stick! It did not break. But then Peppertwirl hit it. The wax came off! The Surprises fell out! Everyone cheered! Everyone shared the Surprises. The Queen gave Peppertwirl a flower because she was the one that made it open.

I danced and jumped and flew! I rode dragonflies (they came!) and floated in the punch bowl!

Flutterglow saw me in the punch bowl. She said *You should not be in there Bud but it is a Party so I won’t tell anyone*. Then she giggled and I giggled. Then she said *Move over so I can get a cup of punch, you are in the way*. The nectar punch was delicious.

My clothing did not stick to me after I got out! My bottom was not uncovered!

The Prince got a lot of Gifts! He smiled at my Jingle Bell! He said *Thank You for this Jingle Bell Bud Mushroom!* That made me happy!

Now I can tell you what the Queen got him. It is not a Surprise anymore. It is - A WISH! He can make any Wish he wants! Only a Prince would get a Wish! Do you know how I hid a Wish? I hid it under a leaf. Then no one could see it! The Queen said *That was Very Clever Bud Mushroom. You are a Useful Fairy!*

I will tell you more about the Party tomorrow. I am tired now. But it was so much fun!

Goodbye from Bud Mushroom!

THE PARTY IS TOMORROW!

The Party is TOMORROW! The Party is TOMORROW! I am so excited!

Today everyone in Twinkle Dingle took a bath. Even the gnomes! EVEN RUDY! He took off his watering can hat. Then he climbed into the pond.

I like floating in the water. It is fun splashing with my friends. Everyone takes off their clothing to get in the water. No one keeps their bottom covered! We swam and splashed and dove under water!

When Rudy was done with his bath, he rolled in the dirt. I laughed! Thistle said *Rudy. No. Not the dirt*. But Rudy did it anyway. Thistle and Nettle made Rudy get into the water again.

Then I was clean. I went to Peppertwirl. She gave me my Party clothing! She said *Do not get it dirty before tomorrow Bud Mushroom*. I do not want to get it dirty. I hid it in my house so it will not get dirty. I put it under a pile of moss. It will be safe there.

Then I went to Willowdrop. She brushed my hair. She said *Bud Mushroom nothing I can do will make your hair behave. Even my magic will not make it lay flat. It is Unique just like You. Do not tell the Queen but I like it better this way*.

I grinned when she said that. Willowdrop was the best Mummy! If I had flat hair then I would not look like me. It is better if my hair stays how it is. Then everyone will know who I am. I do not want to confuse my friends. And I like my hair!

I will go to sleep early tonight. I want to get up early for the party!

I hope I can sleep! I am so excited!

Goodbye from Bud Mushroom!!!

Clothing

I saw Peppertwirl today. I did not want to. But the Queen told me to.

Peppertwirl said *Bud Mushroom you have to cover your bottom at the party. It is a Special Event*.

I do not like clothing. I like to float in water. I do not like wet clothing. It sticks to me.

Peppertwirl said *Bud Mushroom I will make something special just for you*.

I like what she made me. I looked in her Mirror. My clothing ties around my belly. It is like a skirt. It covers my bottom. It is made from dried beetle wings tied together. It is shiny and black.

Peppertwirl will keep it until the Party. I will wear it for the party. Then I will take it off.

Goodbye from Bud Mushroom.

I was Useful today!

I feel better today!

Today the Queen called for me! I will tell you about it.

She clapped her hands and said *Bud Mushroom Attend Us*. That is how I know she wanted me. I do not know why she claps her hands when she wants me. But she does.

Then she said *Bud Mushroom you need clothing for Our Party. Go see Peppertwirl and get some Proper Clothing*.

I do not like clothing. It gets tangled in my wings. It makes me too hot. But I will visit Peppertwirl. The Queen told me to. I will visit her tomorrow.

Then the Queen said *Bud Mushroom be a Useful Fairy and Hide Our Gift for the Prince. Do not tell anyone what Our Gift is*.

I took it with me. I hid it. It is under a leaf in my house. But I can’t tell you which leaf. It is a secret.

I cannot tell you what the gift is. It is a surprise.

The hiding place is a good hiding place. The gift is a nice gift for a Prince.

I do not want to visit Peppertwirl tomorrow.

Goodbye from Bud Mushroom.

My Second Surprise

The bumblebees liked their flowers. They did not sting me.

Pebblemist was not ready for me to help today. She said *come back later Bud Mushroom*. I will go back later.

Cloverflower gave me my surprise! Flutterglow found it in a human place. Cloverflower called it choklit. It looks like a rock! It fits in my hands. Cloverflower said *taste it Bud* and I licked it. Choklit is good! I will share it with the ants in my log.

When Cloverflower was here she said *Bud you need clothing for the party. Go to Peppertwirl so she can make clothing for you*.

I do not like clothing. I like to wear nothing. But I will wear clothing for the party.

Goodbye from Bud Mushroom.
