Free Farrah in Fairyland by B.R. Stranges Page A

He wanted so badly to
kiss her.
    “You’re right,
Giuseppi. I’m sorry. That probably wasn’t the best plan.”
    Despite her
words, Farrah didn’t move away from the cabinet. Instead, she
pressed her nose up against the glass to get a closer look, every
now and then having to wipe away the fog created by her breath.
Farrah found it strange that of all the dozens of Veddos before
her, only one of the mirrors reflected her image. It was the one
directly in the centre of the second shelf from the top. Also
curious, Giuseppi walked up to the cabinet, but his image was not
reflected in any of the Veddos.
    “My grandma
once told me that the magical instruments of a Tooth Fairy are not
simply taken. They find their way to a Tooth Fairy as if it was
destined to be in her hands,” spoke Farrah softly.
    At that
moment, Farrah had an idea. She stood back from the cabinet and
flapped her wings. At first, she flapped them at a slow, steady
pace. The entire time, her eyes fixed on the Veddo that reflected
her image. She waited for something to happen, but there was no
movement within the cabinet. Farrah flapped her wings faster and
faster, then remarkably, the Veddo began to rattle, glowing bright
shade of yellow.
    “Wow, Farrah,
how are you doing that?” Asked Giuseppi as he stood in awe in front
of the cabinet, once again captivated by Farrah.
    Farrah didn’t
respond, instead she flapped even faster. Her wings looked like two
streamers that were dancing in the wind. For a second, the Veddo
floated up a few inches from the shelf. It hovered in mid-air until
finally; Farrah became tired and stopped flapping her wings. The
Veddo gently returned to its original spot on the shelf.
    “ Wow,
Farrah, maybe you are destined to
be a Tooth Fairy?”
    This time it
was Farrah’s turn to blush. Up until that moment, she had never
really known if she had what it takes to be a Tooth Fairy. Ever
since her father told her about his unfulfilled dream, she had
begun to think that her own dream would not be achieved. After her
rightful instincts in the weather room, solving the riddle and now
making a Veddo move, she was more than encouraged.
    Farrah sat on
a yellow pillow. Giuseppi joined her, taking a green pillow and
placing it next to her.
    “I know now
that I have to get my hands on that Veddo. The question of course,
is how?” Spoke Farrah, staring straight ahead in deep thought.
    She remained
in deep thought for a while. Her eyes were glazed over for a number
of minutes until she sprang up to her feet.
    “I’ve got it!”
Farrah shouted.
    “I’ve got to
get my hands on some Tooth Fairy dust.”
    Giuseppi
flapped his stubby wings to help him get up to his feet. He landed
directly in front of Farrah and didn’t budge until she made eye
contact with him.
    “Tell me you
are joking, Farrah – you know that Tooth Fairy dust is the most
precious item in all of Fairyland. You will never get your hands on
some.”
    All fairies
knew that the King of Fairyland had gone through great lengths to
protect the precious Tooth Fairy dust. For starters, the King had
ordered a team of Securo Fairies to protect all the Tooth Fairy
dust round the clock. Unlike the other Pixie dust stacks, Tooth
Fairy dust was kept in a hidden cave deep at the centre of Mount
Michelutz. Fairies usually referred to it as Miracolo Cave, even
though it officially had no name. Ten Securo fairies were assigned
to guard the entrance to the cave at all times. Within the cave
were steel vaults enchanted with the most serious of booby-trap
spells.
    Only the King
and the other royal family members who refined and stored the Tooth
Fairy dust had clearance to get inside the vaults. At each vault
stood two more Securo Fairies with watchbeasts. These were the same
beasts that travel along with the Fairy King and Queen wherever
they went. It is said that they never slept and that they could
smell trouble coming from miles away. Even more disturbing, a
watchbeast loved to feed on the
