"Look Tiffany is coming back," said Ginger. "She must of forgot something. "I don't think so," said Alieta. "What is that walking beside her?" "Can't tell from here," maybe a cat," said Ginger. "There are no cats or dogs in Fae Land and it is all green," said Alieta. "Okay so how about, I have no idea," said Ginger with a smile. "So who is Alieta and Ginger?" asked Koko. "Alieta is the queen of Fae Land and Ginger is in charge of the palace and my boss," said Tiffany. "Oh, important people, I will be good but I really need to eat soon'" said Koko. They both reached Alieta and Ginger as they looked at Koko in wonder. "Tiffany, what is that you have with you?" asked Alieta. "You don't know, you did say you have seen everything," said Tiffany. "I thought I did but not that," said Alieta. "Do you know Ginger?" "Nope but is it ever cute," said Ginger. "Yes but very hungry," said Tiffany. "Ivy was able to read Koko a bit and said that she is a Precious." "A Precious? I have heard that name somewhere before. In a book I think," said Alieta. "What does Koko eat?" "She said anything," said Tiffany. "I'm on it," said Ginger. "There is some left over stew in the ice box. "It will only take a minute to warm a bit up." Then Ginger ran into the palace. "So Koko, where did you come from?" asked Alieta. "Don't know where it is, just a different place," said Koko. "Okay, so why did you come to Fae Land?" asked Alieta. "I didn't come here, I just appeared here under that nice tree over there," said Koko. "Why is everyone so big here and only you have wings. Only the Queen and the nice girl with the green hair has wings?" "No, are sprites, all sprites have wings, same as pixies and fairies," said Alieta. "Ginger and Tiffany are elves, they don't have wings." "Fairies I like but never heard of the others," said Koko. Ginger came back out and gave Koko the bowl of stew. "Thank you" Ginger was all she said then dug in. "Ask her now," said Ginger. "Ask me what?" asked Tiffany. "Well I want you and your sister to move into the palace with us," said Alieta. "Ginger would like you here all the time in case we have visitors during the day. Being raised as a princess you know the proper ediquette around people of importance plus you are a good worker." "She's not a princess, that's a secret," said Koko, then went back to eating. "Really live in the palace, I don't know, does that mean I have to work all the time?" asked Tiffany. Ginger smiled. "Of coarse not. We don't get many visitors here. Mostly you can do as you like. Actually, I want you to be like the rest of the girls here," said Alieta. "I will have a palace account made for you and money will no longer be an issue with you. Your sister will have a limited account made until she gets older." "Umm, can Koko stay with me?" asked Tiffany. "She likes me and I like her. I will take good care of her, I promiss, so will my sister. Sabrina would love to have a pet to play with." I don't see why not but that would be up to Koko", said Alieta. Koko licked her lips and looked up at Alieta and Ginger. "That was really good, if there is food like this in the palace, I would love to be Tiffany and Sabrina's pet. Usually a Precious becomes a fairies pet but two princesses sounds better to me," said Koko. "Then it is settled. Go get you sister and any personal stuff you have and come back here," said Alieta. "Ginger will have some elves pack up the rest of your stuff and bring it to your room. The room across from Safire is furnished with two beds in it so everything is all set," said Ginger. Can I stay here and wait for you to come back?" asked Koko. "I have small legs and my wings are too small to fly much. I don't move that fast on the ground or in the air and besides I am afraid of heights." "Okay, I won't be long," said Tiffany then ran off home. "Look down there Casper, I think that is it," said Safire. "Yep, I see it, tree with red leaves," said Casper. "Good lets check it out," said Safire. They flew down and landed beside the tree. Safire jumped off of Casper then went under the tree. "The leaves are heart shaped," said Safire. "Not a red maple tree that I first thought. I wonder how it works." "Maybe just make a wish," said Casper. "Okay, I'll try that," said Safire. "I wish for a bottle of water. Nothing is happening. "Maybe it only works at different times of the day," said Casper. "These leaves seem to be suspended and just floating around." Safire put out her hand to catch one but instead one landed on her hand and stayed there. "Maybe that is the trick," said Casper. "You need a leaf on your hand. Try wishing again." "Okay, let me try something different," said Safire. "Oh I know. I wish I brought a few of the candies I bought. The leaf vanished. "Okay so where are the candies?" asked Casper. "Hang on, there is something in my pocket," said Safire. She reached into her pocket and pulled out three of Jessica's candies. "Hey it worked," said Safire. "You try it now." "I have no hands silly but I would wish for you to give me one of those candies," said Casper. "Here you go," said Safire. See your wish came true too. Now lets go find that magical cave." Back at the palace Alieta and Ginger got down on the grass so Koko didn't have to look up so much. "Koko, you said you came from somewhere else, what is somewhere else like?" asked Alieta. "Do you remember?" "Yes of coarse," said Koko. "Nothing like here that is for sure. Everything is much smaller and there are none of those sprites, elves and pixies anywhere, just fairies a bit bigger than me. There are lots of Precious anaimals too, playing together waiting to get picked." "Different types of anaimals?" asked Ginger. "Yep, tigers and lions, horses and foxes. You know regular animals," said Koko. "I am special though. I am the only dragon I think. Not sure what a dragon is but I am cute, that I know." "Yes you are but dragons here are much bigger and very dangerous," said Alieta. "They breath fire out of their mouth and eat people and anything else they can kill and find." "Stop it Alieta, your scaring Koko," said Ginger. "There are no more big dragons anymore." "Ya they do sound scary," said Koko. "I wouldn't want to meet one of them. "Well you won't," said Alieta. "Now you said that you small animals wait to be picked. I am assuming by fairies." "Nope, it doesn't work that way," said Koko. "Sometimes they end up with a bigger fairy and come back later but others just disappear and we never see them again. I guess I am one of them. All I know is I was told that I was for Jessica and Sabrina, mostly Sabrina before I fell asleep." "So who told you?" asked Alieta. "Beats me, just a voice in my head. When I woke up there she was all tall and pretty," said Koko. I wasn't scared of her and knew some things about her and Sabrina too." "You said Sabrina mostly," said Ginger, "Why, because she is smaller and yonger?" "Not sure about that either," said Koko. Something about broken hearts that are not healing properly. All I know is that I lucked out." "Why do you say that?" asked Alieta. "Well I get to live with two pretty princesses in a palace that makes great tasting food," said Koko. "Sounds lucky to me." "Well here comes your two princesses," said Ginger. "Quick hide me I want to surprise Sabrian," said Koko. Alieta stood up and Koko hid behind her. "I'll go in and get a couple of elves to head over to their place," said Ginger, then she went in the palace. "So we are really going to be living in the palace now?" asked Sabrina. "Yes and I want you to be on your best behavior," said Tiffany. "I hope this will make you happy again." "I know but I can't help it. I miss Mom and Dad. I dream about them at night and wake up and they are not here. Then I start crying," said Sabrina. "Yes I miss them too," said Tiffany. "It takes time to heal but I have a surprise for you." "Really, what is it?" asked Sabrina. "It's a surprise silly, you will see." When they reached Alieta, Tiffany looked around for Koko then noticed her tail behind Alieta. "Here she is, a bit relcutant to leave at first," said Tiffany. "Hello Alieta, thankyou for letting us live in the palace. I will be good, I promiss," said Sabrina. "I am sure you will and it is my pleasure having you two living here," said Alieta. "So where is the surprise you mentioned Tiffany?" asked Sabrina. "Right here," said Koko as she jumped out from behind Alieta. "Wow what are you?" asked Sabrina. "You have very big eyes." "This is Koko," said Tiffany. "She is our pet now and will be living with us." "Yep living with the pretty princesses," said Koko. "I'm not a princess anymore," said Sabrina. "My Mom And Dad are dead." "Okay but once a princess always a princess," said Koko. "You know there is a piece of your Mother and Father in you and will always be there." "Really, some of Mom and Dad is in me? asked Sabrina. "Yep all parents leave a bit of themself in their children," said Koko. "That way they are always with you no mater where you are. Their love for their children is forever lasting." "Really?" asked Sabrina. "Yep, I never lie cross my heart," said Koko. Sabrina got a big smile on her face then grabbed Koko, picking her up and hugging her. "I am going to take good care of you. Come in the palace and I will show you how beautiful it is inside, then she ran in with Koko in her arms." "Well that went well," said Tiffany. "That is the first time she has smiled since I had to tell her our parrents were dead. Made feel good inside too." "Well I don't know much about Koko's kind but she was completely correct about your mother and father," said Alieta. "There is no magic stronger than the parents love for their children. Now go in there and show them your new room." "Okay, thanks for everything Alieta," said Tiffany then she ran into the palace. "Well the palace is really begining to get character now with Safire and these two princesses and Koko, where ever she came from. I know I read somewhere about Precious beings some where. Maybe the librarian knows where that book is." "No need for that Alieta. I will tell all you need to know about Precious animals," said Gabriel that appeared out of nowhere as usual. "Okay, I thought God may of been behind all of this," said Alieta. "Nope, not him at all. This is all me and nobody else," said Gabriel. "Really, so God didn't have to give you permission to make Koko appear here," said Alieta. "Nope I told him my idea and her approved but said it was all mine and nobody elses," said Gabriel. "I got the ideal from witches with there pets that they call their Familars. Differences is my Precious animals can't change into human form. I have only been doing this for about two hundred years. Back then there were more people dying than being born so there was a surplus of souls available for me to use." "Okay so where is this mystery land that Koko mentioned?" asked Alieta. "Well that you will have a hard time understanding," said Gabriel. "Try me, I am all ears," said Alieta. "Okay, it is nowhere and everywhere, It is a place of fantasy inside of fantasy," said Gabriel. No one can ever go there and only I can let someone out. It is my secret place where I can go and be with some of the cutest and most loving beings you will fine anywhere." "Your right, I don't understand where it is but I do get that is it your happy place," said Alieta. Gabriel smiled. "Yep, it is a very magical place made from love," said Gabriel. "Back then I had never seen a real fairy before so I made my own from the dreams of little girls on earth. I made them very young and much smaller than the fairies here, just like little girls dream them to be like. They were the perfect playmates for the animals and could make food for them that is needed or the animals would fall into a deep sleep that only I can wake them from or they will awaken when the person that they are intended for gets close to them." "Okay that part makes sense now," said Alieta. "The first thing she wanted was to eat and wasn't picky what she wanted. I wondered why such a small being was so concernerd about food." "Yes, you see it is the nurishment that makes them real and active," said Gabriel. I can't create a new sanctioned being with a soul but I figured a way how to do the next best thing. I created fakes, you might say and gave them souls. The fairies are fake too in this fantasy realm and can never leave it but they use heavens magic to make food for the animals and themselves.Once on the surface a Precious pet will bring joy, love and luck to who ever gets one. The luck is the side effect of the process but a good side effect I would say." "So it was you that made Koko appear here," said Alieta. "Yes, now that there are so many angels talking care of things, God isn't the only one that can get back to doing what we love," said Gabriel. "Sabrina is such a good girl and lost faith in god when she found out her parents were dead. Tiffany was stronger and immediately took care of her sister and had faith that things would get better one day. Sabrina stopped praying but Tiffany prayed even more and all about forgiving and saving her sister. That is when I decided to send Koko to them, my most unique Precious I ever made, as perfect as perfect can be in my opinion. Now I have to go check on them but make sure Koko never goes hungry for too long or else if she goes into that sleep she will forget everything and have to start over when I or one of the two girls wake her. She needs at least one meal a day. So will she stay awake all night? asked Alieta. No, she will sleep like anyone else if fed properly. That shouldn't be a problem here at the palace," said Gabriel. The unexpected visit from Ivy brought back most of Koko's memories when she did a deep read on her. Kind of worked out for the best I think. It usually takes a few hours for a Precious to remember how to speak properly but they never forget their purpose. So just call if you have any questions," then Gabriel vanished. "Well keeping people fed is not a problem with me but Gabriel didn't tell me how often Koko needs to eat. Koko is small so she won't eat much at a time. I guess when she finds out where the dining room is she will go there herself. All this talk about food has made me hungry. Time for a snack I say." Then Alieta went in the palace. Sapfire and Casper were flying across Eden looking for the Fantasy Cave. "Hey Casper, I think you just past the cave, go back," said Safire. "Really okay but why do you want to go look at a dirty old cave?" "Just to find out where it is and I heard it was magical," said Safire. I used to live in an underground cave so I just want to check it out." "Okay, I get it, lets go look at it then," said Casper. They flew back then down landing at the mouth of the cave. Safire then looked into the cave. "Wow this is a big cave with a wide tunnel," said Safire" "And very dark inside too," said Casper. "We can use your horn to light the way," said Safire. "We could but why bother," said Casper. "You seen one cave you have seen them all." That's not true at all," said Safire. "Wait a minute. You don't want to go in there, your scared of caves." "Well just look in there all dark and spooky looking," said Casper. "That's okay, we don't have to go in. I just wanted to have a look at it and it doesn't look that magical anyways," said Safire. Lets go have a look at that waterfall we saw from above instead." "No, you want to go inside and explore so we will do that first," said Casper. "They say one should face there fears and I will do that. Just don't go running off and leave me alone in there." "I won't, we are a team remember. Besides I can handle myself," said Safire. "Okay lets go in and see what this cave is all about. "They started to walk into the cave for a bit. Look the walls just got brighter," said Safire. We don't need your horn to light the way." "Yep and it is nice a cool in here," said Casper. "It is always cool in caves," said Safire. "That is why we all wanted to live underground. Long time ago it was always very hot on the service. Over a hundred degrees every day. Now we have Mother Nature, controlling the weather and she makes sure it doesn't get that hot all the time." "She sounds like a nice woman, have you seem her?" asked Casper. "Yep, she is pretty and older sister to Tempressa the ice queen," said Safire. "Hey what is that up ahead?" asked Casper. "I don't know, lets get a closer look," said Safire. They walked up further into the cave until they came to a table. "Interesting, looks like someone had a party in here. Empty bottle of wine and two empty glasses," said Safire. "Maybe it was ghosts," said Casper. "Don't be silly, ghost don't drink wine," said Safire. Suddenly the the table and stool faded away along with the bottle and glasses. "You were saying?" asked Casper. "Ya your right, this cave is pretty spooky," said Safire. "Lets get the heck out of here. I can't fight against ghost." They both took off fast out of the cave. "Well that was kind of freaky," said Safire. "There must me a logical explaination for what we saw." "Ya, the cave is haunted," said Casper. "There are no such thing as ghosts," said Safire. "Yes there is, I have seen them before," said Casper. "They are lost souls that didn't go up to heaven when they were suppose too." "Really, well I have never seen one before," said Safire. "Anyways lets head out and check out that waterfall. It is not far from here." They took flight again heading for the rock wall waterfall when Safire spotted someone on a horse riding along the grassy plains. "Lets go see who that is," said Safire. "Okay, we can warn them about the haunted cave," said Casper. "I am pretty sure it is not haunted," said Safire. "Well I am sure it is," said Casper. "Regardless lets go down," said Safire. They landed in front of the rider and stopped her. "Tempressa, is that you, I barely recognized you," said Safire. "Yes Safire, Lilly fixed my hair for me a while back," said Tempressa. "Well I like the new look," said Safire. "You have a unicorn now? When did that happen?" asked Tempressa. "Yesterday, I decided not to live underground anymore which was the best decission I have ever made and now I live in the palace and have a unicorn," said Safire. "Casper, say hello to Tempressa." "What, who, oh, hi Tempressa. Sorry, I was just telling Tempy how pretty she is," said Casper. "You can talk to horses?" asked Tempressa. "Yep, through thought. Makes me very popular among the mares," said Casper. "I bet it does, said Tempressa. "So Safire called you the Ice Queen and Mother Nature's sister. I would love to meet Mother Nature," said Casper. "You must know a way of contacting her." "Yep I can call her when ever I want," said Tempressa. She will come if she is not busy doing weather stuff. Lets see. Mother Nature, Come see what Safire has. Give her a minute, she will come." Both Tempressa and Safire dismounted waiting for Mother Nature to appear. "So a flying unicorn, talk about being lucky," said Tempressa. "Looks like quite the stud too. "I bet he has made lots of baby unicorns." "Nope, "I don't like mare unicorns," said Casper. "They are too stuck up. Besides when unicorns mate and have a child they become a family. I am not into the whole family thing. That is why I like mare horses better. They all like me and think I am sexy and when they have a baby they take care of it them self until it is about a year old." "Okay so you are a stud," said Tempressa. "Did any of the babies have a unicorn horn?" "Nope, that can't happen with horses, Iit takes two unicorns to make a baby unicorn," said Casper. Just then Mother Nature appeared. "Sorry it took so long but I was dealing with a tornado. Those suckers are tough to control," said Mother Nature. "So what does Safire have?" "Look behind you," said Tempressa. "Well look at you, a blue unicorn, how appropiate. What is your name?" asked Mother Nature. "Casper, you are very pretty like Safire said. "Well thank you," said Mother Nature. "Being immortal does have it's benifits." "Casper can fly too Sis," said Tempressa. "Really! I never heard of a flying unicorn," said Mother Nature. "I'm the only one," said Casper. "Now that I have a strong companion I can fly and run much faster." "So your special and have your perfect match like Tillia and Sara. I see you have your horse Tempressa. Where are you off to?" asked Mother Nature. "Going to the palace and see if anything new is going on. All the action happens there it seems," said Tempressa. "Yes I am due to visit Alieta also. Everyone there is very nice," said Mother Nature. "Safire lives in the palace now too," said Tempressa. "Really? So no more living underground now. Are the rest of the Blue Fae living on the surface now?" asked Mother Nature. "Nope just me. I like it better up here and there is a lot more to do," said Safire. "Good thinking, you will like staying in the palace. Alieta treats everyone there like family," said Mother Nature. "Well nice meeting you Casper, I have to get back to untwisting that twister." Then Mother Nature vanished. "She was very nice," said Casper. "Yep my sister is the best, A lousy cook though," said Tempressa. "Ever since I learned to cook good she visits me more often now, right around supper time." "So she is smart too," said Casper. "We should go see Ktara now. I am getting hungry," said Safire. "Good choice, Ktara always has something cooking," said Tempressa. "Anyways I will see you two later. Say hi to Ktara for me." Then tempressa got back on her horse and rode off. "So Safire, why do you call Tempressa the ice queen? She was very nice and pleasant," said Casper. "And very powerful, said Safire. She can turn anything into solid ice by just pointing at it. So can Mother Nature. "Really! Now that is powerful magic," said Casper. "Okay lets go see Ktara now," said Safire. She got back on Casper and they took off. Back in the palace Tiffany was fixing the pillows on the two beds when Gabriel appeared in their room. "Tiffany I see and angel," said Sabrina. "That's nice, say hi for me," said Tiffany. "No really, there is a pretty angel here," said Sabrina. "All angels are pretty silly," said Tiffany as she continued to fluff the pillow. "Hello Miss Angel, my name is Sabrina." "Yes I know," said Gabriel. Tiffany turned around fast. "Oh my God there is an angel here." "Yes Dear, my name is Gabriel, I just came to check on you three. Koko, come over here please. This concerns you also." "Okay Gabriel," said Koko. "Now first of all you two have been given a very special gift from me so take good care of Koko and make sure she eats regularly. About two times a day is enough but one full meal is good enough." "But I like to eat three times a day," said Koko. "Yes I know but the minimum is once a day," said Gabriel. Now Koko loves to play and listen to people. That is how she learns about things and also learns more words." "I learned a lot from Ivy when she read me," said Koko. "She is smart." "Yes so you got a good head start on things then," said Gabriel. "Now, in this palace Alieta is the Queen but she is more like a mother to all the girls in here. Her love is unconditional. What she says goes. Ginger runs the palace so consider her second in command. Ginger is not very bossy but has her own way of getting things done and getting her point across. That is all I needed to say, so are there any questions?" "Yes, what happens if Koko misses a meal or two?" asked Tiffany. "You made it a point to tell us something that is natural to us. "Well Koko, is not natural as you can see and if she goes an entire day without eating she will fall asleep and only I or sometime one of you can wake her up again but all her memories will be gone and you will have to start over all again including teaching her to talk," said Gabriel. "Oh, that is bad," said Tiffany. "First thing we do Sabrina is show Koko the dining room." Gabriel smiled. "Good thinking. So take care you three and enjoy, your parrents will be watching from heaven, where I am going now." Then Gabriel vanished. "Wow a real angel," said Sabrina. "Yes so are you going to start saying your prayers again?" asked Tiffany. "Yep sure am," said Sabrina. "Good now lets show Koko the way to the dining room," said Tiffany.
