The fox is gone!

I am safe! I hid under some moss! The fox did not find me.

Cloverflower came to my house. She told me the fox was gone from Twinkle Dingle! Then she told me what happened. She giggled and giggled when she told me. And then I giggled.

This is what happened. Wildwhisper poked the fox with the Thorn! The fox got mad! It tried to bite Wildwhisper! Flutterglow popped in and then popped him away! She was very brave. But Wildwhisper was her Poppy. She had to save him.

Cloverflower was not scared. Flutterglow was not scared. They are the fastest flyers! They can pop away! So they made the fox chase them! Flutterglow had the Thorn! When the fox stopped, she poked it again! The fox chased and chased!

They were very clever! Because guess what was at the end of their chase? Rudy the Skunk! He shook his tail at the fox. The fox did not see Rudy until it was too late. Then the fox was covered with Rudy’s smell. The fox ran away. It left Twinkle Dingle! And then the fairies were all safe.

The Queen was so happy! Today she gave Flutterglow and Cloverflower a Reward. She gave them each a Sweet! Their Sweets are called Peppermint. They are red and white. Sweets are Special. We have to get them from human places. I would rather have nectar or buttermilk. But Cloverflower and Flutterglow like Sweets. They were happy. They shared their Sweets with Wildwhisper. He takes good care of the Thorn.

The Queen also gave Rudy a Reward! He does not eat Sweets. She gave him a pear. It was not Smallified! He was happy. Rudy let me lick his pear. It was delicious.

And guess what? No one had to work today! It was a Celebration! We played games all day. It was fun. I played hide-and-seek and leap-tag and find-the-bubble and got-your-wing and pick-a-hand!

My wings are tired. My eyes are sleepy. But the fox is gone!

The Thorn

I did something very Useful today! I will tell you what it is.

Wildwhisper was Flutterglow’s Poppy. He is bigger than I am. He has a Very Important Job. I will tell you about his Job.

Sometimes humans come to Twinkle Dingle. They ask the Queen for things. I do not know why they don’t ask a human Queen. But they don’t.

The Queen makes humans do Useful Tasks. Then they get what they want. But they can’t see fairies do magic. It is a Rule. I don’t know why.

Humans have to close their eyes so they don’t see the magic. Sometimes they do not want to close their eyes. So they have a choice! They can have their eyes poked with a Thorn instead! No human ever chooses the Thorn. I do not know why.

Wildwhisper guards the Thorn. He polishes it and keeps it safe. If a human chooses it, it is ready.

Today the Queen said *Wildwhisper you must guard the clearing from pixies. Do not bring the Thorn. You will take the Thorn to Bud Mushroom. Bud Mushroom will be Useful and Guard it!*

Wildwhisper brought the Thorn to my tree-trunk house. I was afraid he would see my pink rock. I hid it under a leaf. He did not see it.

I watched the Thorn all day. It did not wiggle or sing or fly. It did not have pictures to jump on. It was boring. I almost fell asleep! It was a very long day. But the Thorn was safe. And I was Useful.

Wildwhisper took the Thorn when the day ended. He brought me a surprise! It is a hummingbird nest. There is no hummingbird in it. The birds all flew away. They do not need the nest.

It is soft inside. It will make a nice bed. I will sleep in it tonight.

Prince Silvertoes

I will tell you about the party we are planning.

The party is for Prince Silvertoes. He is a Growed-Up fairy now. He will have a special party to celebrate that he is Growed-Up.

Regular fairies have small parties. Prince Silvertoes gets a big party because he is a Prince. His mummy is the Queen. I will tell you how she is his mummy. But first I have to tell you about fairy Seedlings.

The Queen chooses the mummy or a poppy that will have the Seedling. Only Growed-Up fairies can be mummies or poppies. The Queen gives the mummy or the poppy a special magical seed. I saw one once. It looked like a sparkly rock. 

The mummy or poppy has a party. All of their friends come! They plant the seed under a flower. Everyone dances all night around the flower. They say good things to the flower. Then the seed knows what the Seedling should be like.

The next day the flower opens. The Seedling fairy is inside! The mummy or the poppy is happy to have a Seedling!

One day, the Queen wanted her own Seedling. Every fairy in Twinkle Dingle came to her party! Even gnomes and sprites and brownies! Every growed-up fairy said a good thing to the flower. When the flower opened, Prince Silvertoes was inside.

His toes are not silver. They are toe-colored. But it is a good name for a Prince.
