Decorations!

Today I helped decorate for the party!

Pebblemist made a dancing ring. She set up a place for musicians. I did not help her.

Thistle and Nettle and Henbit and Nutsedge put weeds everyplace. I did not help them.

Wildwhisper polished the Thorn. I did not help him.

Flickerfoot and the Kitchen Fairies put out tables and dishes for the food. I did not help them either.

Flutterglow and Cloverflower giggled a lot. I did not giggle. I was too busy!

This is what I did:

I strung spidersilk on trees and flowers. I blew dandelion puffs at it. The silk was sticky. The puffs stuck to it! It is pretty.

I found pretty feathers. I tied them to tree branches. They fly around in the wind! But they will not fly away. I tied them carefully.

I tied the round ball thing to a tree branch. It swings under the branch. It will be hard to hit because it swings!

The Queen saw it. She said *Bud Mushroom that is a Very Good Round Ball. We believe it will be Very Entertaining to hit it with a Stick and see the Surprises fall out*. I was so happy that it was right!

I am very tired now. I worked hard.

The party is in two more days!

Something Special

Today I made something special for the party. Other fairies helped. This is who helped: Pollenfoot, Windybell, Cheerychime. They are the Queen’s Attendants. They feed her food. They rub her feet. They spritz her face. They are very tiny fairies. But they are helpful.

I do not know what we made. No one knows what it is called! Flutterglow saw one at a human party once. She said it is a round ball that you hang from a tree. Then you hit it with a stick. And then sweets and surprises fall out.

Flutterglow told the Queen about it. The Queen said *We must have one at Our Party! Bud Mushroom be a Useful Fairy and make Us a round ball to hang from a tree and hit with a stick. Be sure to put Sweets and Surprises inside. My Attendants will help you*.

I do not know if I am doing it right! But this is what we did: we found an empty snail shell. The snail dried up and does not need the shell now. We put Smallified berries in it. I broke the rest of my choklit into tiny pieces and put that inside too. Pollenfoot found some flower seeds to put inside. Then it was full.

I found some beeswax in my house. We covered the open part of the shell. Now the surprises will not fall out.

We tied spider silk to the outside. Windybell found a stick to hit it with at the Party. Cheerychime wanted to use the Thorn instead of a stick. But I did not think Wildwhisper would let us.

I do not know why the Queen wanted a round ball with Sweets and Surprises inside. I would rather put the snail shell in my house. But she is the Queen and she told me to do it. So I did it.

I hope it is right! It would not be Useful to make the wrong thing!

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!

There is a fox in Twinkle Dingle!

Flutterglow popped into my house! I was still in bed! She shook me until I was awake.

She said *Bud Mushroom do not go outside. There is a fox in Twinkle Dingle! Small fairies must stay inside! I will check on you later and I will leave you some food*.

She left me nectar. I like nectar! But I am too scared to eat! There should not be a fox here. They are big! They have scary teeth! I do not want to be a snack!

The small fairies are inside their homes. I am glad I am a small fairy! I am not going outside!

Flutterglow said *The Queen and the Prince are in their house, so they are safe. Wildwhisper has the Thorn and he will make the fox leave! The big fairies are helping him! I need to tell the Gnomes about the fox. Do not go outside Bud Mushroom!*

Then she popped away!

I will not go outside.

I hope the fox leaves soon.

I see something poking into my house! It is a nose!

I have to hide!

Goodbye from Bud Mushroom.

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.
