blood of a fairy. The Securo
fairies did their best to satisfy the craving of the once wild
beasts, with frequent feedings of Gautuso carcases.
“Farrah, now I
know you have gone crazy! You know that Tooth Fairy dust is the
most well guarded item in all of Fairyland. Not to mention what
will happen to you if you do get your hands on some. You know,
sizzle sizzle.”
Farrah new
very well that Pixie dust that is held in the hands of none other
than a Tooth Fairy will quickly turn to acid, burning the skin off
one’s hand. Nevertheless, she would not let that deter her. Once
again, Farrah placed her hand on Giuseppi’s cheek, something she
always did when she wanted him to know that she was being dead
serious.
“Giuseppi, I
know you are worried, but I know now that being a Tooth Fairy is
what I am destined to do. If my hunch is right, the way to obtain
Tooth Fairy dust will be revealed to me. I understand if you don’t
want to go to Miracolo Cave with me, but I have to try.”
Blushing as
usual, Giuseppi took a second to respond, as if in a trance
himself.
“Ah, Farrah,
you know I’m with you through thick and thin. I’m just hoping that
your plan is a thick one, because if it isn’t, we could be in for a
real disaster.”
Chapter 12: Mission Miracolo
Farrah
positioned herself in front of the mirror with her eyes closed. She
stood in front of the full-length mirror in her room a thousand
times before, but it was never a pleasant experience for her.
Although, she was a beautiful fairy, whose long blonde hair and big
violet eyes could grace the cover of any human magazine, Farrah
always focused on her ‘much too small’ wings. This time, when she
stood in front of the mirror, she pictured having long, extravagant
wings that would wrap forward, completely encompassing her
body.
She also
pictured herself wearing the magnificent dresses that were worn by
the female Tooth Fairies. If she’d actually become a Tooth Fairy,
Farrah always knew that she would wear a green dress. To go along
with the dress she would wear an emerald tiara on her head with
matching green glittery shoes for her feet. Regrettably, her
fantasy was cut short by the sound of her hollering mother.
“Far-rah!” Can
you get your butt down here, please?”
Shaking her
head to snap out of her trance, Farrah moved away from the mirror,
but not before, she peeked at her tiny wings. As always, that left
a sour taste in her mouth.
As she
attempted to float and then resorted to walking down the stairs,
she spotted her mom and dad at the front entrance of their home.
They were putting on their shoes, preparing to go out.
“Are you going
somewhere, guys?”
“Have you
forgotten already, Farrah?” Asked Couraggio Fancycracker as he
finished tying his shoelaces.
“We are off to
the Audura Greenhouses to buy more spices and herbs.”
“You can come
along if you like,” suggested Crystaline, as she straightened her
husband’s tie.
“Ah, thanks
for the offer, but I’ve already got plans.”
“What are you
going to do on your day off, anyway?” asked her father, as he
swooshed away his wife’s hand as she attempted to groom his untidy
hair.
“Oh, well
nothing much. Giuseppi and I are going to hang out for a while.
Maybe go by Principessa Park and join in on a game of
Calcioball.”
Farrah had
loved to play Calcioball ever since her cousin Rossi had taught her
to play when she was three years old. Calcioball is much like
soccer. The main difference being that the nets are much smaller
and shaped like triangles. The Calcioball field is oval-shaped and
immersed in a thick cloud to make it more difficult for the players
to see. The ball is three times larger than a regular soccer ball,
but much lighter. That made it hard to direct the ball when struck
by a player. A Fairy could use any part of their body to hit the
ball. That included their feet, head, back, and wings. When one had
the ball, however, they could only remain on the ground for
