Chapter ten, Home, Zarara, you are good with people, Go and
ask them for a lift, said Queen Mave. I'm good with sleeping people,
Sararah said, looking nervous. She ran over to the tourists and started
dancing around on Buddy's shoes, shouting, hello there, excuse me, down
here, hello e. Buddy looked down, he elbowed his wife. Look,
honey, a lepra Khan. I told you they were real. They
picked Sarara up carefully and placed her on the stone wall. Can we get
a photo, dear, said honey. Sararah posed for a few selfies with
the tourists. Are you magic? Can you do a wish for us?
She started, feeling quite important with all the attention. Of course, I
can grant you one wish, she said, spinning around with a flourish.
The other fairies looked on in horror. We are searching for our roots.
Can you tell us where we can find the burks of Kinvara view? That
one was easy. They own the supermarket in the center of town, she
said, And in return, could you give us a lift up to the
fairy village please? All the fairies appeared from behind the bush. Awesome,
said the tourists. They all hopped onto the floor in the back of the
car. They were home. Artur was so happy to see them he started
crying. Sararah went down the path, leaving her rucksack at Queen Maeve's door
alongside all the others. Finally she was back at her newly decorated house.
With a big smile, she flopped into bed. Fairy flicks would have to
wait that evening. When the sun went down, Zarara and all the local
fairies gathered for the celebration in the round field. King Dagda started a fire
right in the middle. Jenny laid out her best tablecloth on a large rock
and piled it high with goodies, minie pizzas, cheesy biscuits, brownies,
flapjacks, rocky road, and a large tower of beautifully decorated fairy cakes.
Everyone wore their best party clothes, and the pixies brought their fiddles, box
and bower on for a long session of dancing and celebration. The moon was
full and Zarara was wondering if Queen Maeve had made the dust to sprinkle on
them. Zarara performed her high wire routine along a piece of baling twine tied
between the bushes high above the fire. Then Laura brought on her newest act,
the performing field mice. Zarara knew it had been very hard to train
them as field mice of a very nervous nature, but they were happy to
do anything for nuts. They trotted around in a circle, decorated with feathers
on their heads, and turned in a row to bow to the King and
Queen, who were sitting on their high hazel thrones. Everyone clapped. The
mice got a fright, grabbed a few bites from the cupcakes, jumped over
the wall and ran away. King Dagdas set off his famous fireworks that he
saved for special occasions. The fireworks flew high up into the air, and
the black sky was suddenly full of color, full of stars. King Dagda
had secretly filled them with dust, which sprinkled down on all the fairies.
Zarara flew up into the air. Hooray, my wings are working. The
pixies began their new hit tune. It won't be long before the Christmas fairies
back, thought Zarara. The dancing began
