"Now pay attention where the dining room is and how to get there," said Tiffany. The kitchen is open from first thing in the morning until just before bed time." "Wow, so some one will bring me food if you two are not with me?" asked Koko. "Yes, and anything you want," said Tiffany. "Just ask for the menue to see what the specials are." "Okay but I can't read," said Koko. "I will teach you," said Sabrina. "I am a good reader." "Well until you learn, just ask the waitress what the specials are," said Tiffany. "They will be happy to tell you. Okay here is the diningroom, said Tiffany. Will you remeber how to get here?" "Yep, but if I get lost I will just follow my nose," said Koko. "It smells great in here. "Okay, so sit at the table you two and I will get the waitress," said Tiffany. "No need I heard you talking," said the waitress. "My name is Sally. What can I get you Tiffany and Sabrina? "Um, Koko, where are you?" asked Tiffany. "Right her beside Sabrina. You told me to sit," said Koko. Sabrina giggled. "She is too small to sit at this table," said Sabrina. "Well stand then," said Tiffany. "Koko stood on the chair and now Sally could see her. "My goodness, arn't you the cutest little thing I have ever seem," said Sally. "Koko is our pet," said Sabrina. "Gabriel gave her too us." "How sweet, we have never had a pet in the palace," said Sally. "A talking one at that too." "We live in the palace now so you will be seeing a lot of Koko and me now," said Sabrina. "Yes I know, news gets around very fast in the palace," said Sally. "So what would you three like to eat then?" "I'll just have bowl of strawberry ice cream for me," said Tiffany. "I don't want to spoil lunch." "Me too but chocolate," said Sabrina. "Okay and you Koko?" asked Sally. "What are the specials?" asked Koko. "Well the breakfast special is over now but we have the club sandwich special with a side of fries and the cheese burgar special with a side of fries also, plus the roast beef sandwich with dipping sauce and fries," said Sally. "There is more stuff, would you like to look at the menu?" "Koko can't read yet," said Sabrina. "I am going to teach her." "That's okay I will just have what Sabrina is having," said Koko. "I just wanted to see what you had for later." Sally smiled. "Okay I will be right back with the ice cream. Then I will see if we have a taller chair for the next time you come in." "Yeah ice cream when ever we want," said Sabrina. "Ice cream must good then," said Koko. "You never ate ice cream before?" Well your in for a real treat," said Sabrina. Sally came back out with the three bowls of ice cream and served it to them. "Okay just call if you need anything else," said Sally. "Now eat it slowly," said Tiffany to Koko. "It is very cold." "Yep you don't want to get brain freeze," said Sabrina. "Okay so you eat it with a spoon?" asked Koko. "Yep, or you can just lick it," said Sabrina. "How about I lick off my spoon?" asked Koko with a smile. "Your funny, that is a good way to eat ice cream too," said Sabrina. Tiffany watched as the two of then talked and played with the ice cream together as they ate. She had never seen her sister so happy before. "Okay all done," said Sabrina. "So what do you want to do now? "Well I am going to see if the elves have delivered the rest of our stuff yet so why don't you two go outside and play but don't leave the palace grounds," said Tiffany. "Okay we won't," said Sabrina then they both left the dining room. Sally came out to gather the bowls. "It is nice to see your sister smiling," said Sally. "She is so much prettier with a smile on her face. She looks like a little princess." "Yes Koko has made a big change in her," said Tiffany. "Thanks for the ice cream, I am going to see if the rest of our stuff has arrived." "Okay see you all later," said Sally. Out side Alieta and Ginger were talking together. Sabrina and Koko walked over to them. "Hi Alieta and Ginger. My sister said we could come outside and play, maybe over there, is that okay?" asked Sabrina. "Yes of coarse," said Alieta. "Is it okay with you too Ginger?" asked Sabrina. "Well yes you can always come out here and play," said Ginger. "Okay, just checking," said Sabrina. "Gabriel said you were second in command. Lets go Koko, the two bosses said it is okay." Alieta smiled. "Young children can say the funniest things sometimes. It's going to be nice having her here all the time now and watching her grown," said Alieta. "Yep and she she just gave me a promotion to second in command," said Ginger. "Well you are in command of the palace," said Alieta. "Here comes Sakura, this may be fun to watch. She has already met Sabrina but not Koko." "This will at least be interesting," said Ginger. "So what do you want to play?" asked Sabrina. "We can play catch my tail," said Koko. "I played that with the faries." "Okay how to you play catch my tail?" asked Sabirna. "Well you have to get down on the ground like me first, then try and grab my tail," said Koko. Sakura saw Sabrina outside with something else so she flew over. "Hi Sabrian, who is your friend?" asked Sakura. "This is Koko, my new pet. Isn't she cute," said Sabrina. "Yes she is," said Sakura. "What is a pet?" "You know like cats and dogs are peoples pets and they take care of them," said Sabrina. "Oh okay, so do pets play?" asked Sakura. "Yep we sure do," said Koko. "Do you want to play catch my tail?" "Okay sounds like fun," said Sakura. "Okay both of you get on your hands and knees then try and get my tail," said Koko. "They both got down on the ground then started scrambling around after Koko. "What are they doing over there," asked Alieta. "Beats me but they are laughing and having fun," said Ginger. "Do you want to go play with them?" "No you can go," said Alieta. "No, I was just kidding. It is fun just watching them," said Ginger. I'm not getting my knees covered in grass stains." "They don't seem to mind," said Alieta. "They are kids. The dirtier they get the more fun they are having," said Ginger. Once Safire and Casper reached Ktara's place, Safire jumped off Casper. "Okay, let me see if Ktara is home," said Safire. "I hope so I am starved," said Casper. Safire knocked on the door and Ktara opened door. "Safire, welcome back. I hope you are hungry, I just finished a batch of spaghetti and meatballs," said Ktara. "Actually we are hungry and everyone said to come here when we got hungry exploring," said Safire. "Perfect, have a seat on the grass and I will bring out a plate for all of us," said Ktara. "Okay Casper, Ktara is bringing out food for us. Get down on the ground." "Great, I am so hungry I could eat a horse," said Casper. "Ha, ha, very funny," said Safire. In a couple of minutes Ktara came out with the food. "Okay here we go. A plate and fork for you Safire and the same for me and just a big plate for Casper," said Ktara. Smells good, what is it?" asked Casper. "Spaghetti and meatballs with a slice of garlic bread," said Ktara. "Meat balls? I don't usually eat meat," said Casper. "That is what Tillia first said before she tasted my meatballs," said Ktara. "Now she keeps coming over asking when I am making more." "Well if Tillia likes them then so will I," said Casper. "So how is the exploring going?" asked Ktara. "Have you gone in the fantasy cave yet?" "Yes and we ran out," said Casper. "It's haunted." "No it isn't I been in there with Ivy and Carmen and Zaysuky went in also," said Ktara. "What makes you think it is haunted?" "Well the walls glow and when we got pretty deep inside, we found a table and bench," said Casper. "The table had an empty wine bottle and two glasses on it. When we got close, it all faded away to nothing. We figured ghosts made it vanish like that." Ktara laughed. "That was the table and wine that Carmen and Zatsuky had in there," said Ktara. "It seems when you think of something that you want, it appears. That must of been the cave resetting itself so that you two can think of something new." "See I told you there is no such thing as ghosts," said Safire. "Yes there is," said Ktara. "We had to chase a bunch of nasty ones out of a town with the five angels of the apocalyspe and Gabriel back into the hanted forest where the came from a while back. We found out they were lost souls being controled by a wizard I think.Or was it a demon, can't remember. Anyways you have met the angel Cindy right?" "Yes she is a very nice and pretty angel," said Safire. "Well she was one of those ghosts and became an angel after Gabriel heard her story," said Ktara. "The entire story is in one of Alieta's books called The Haunted Forest. So how do you like the spaghetti and meat balls?" "I love it, said Safire. "And you Casper? Best darn food I have ever tasted," said Casper. "Even the garlic bread tasted great." "Good, I am bringing the rest to Carmen and Zatsuky. Neither of them are good cooks," said Ktara. At the palace Sabrina, Koko and Sakura were having a ball together making up new games to play. Ivy flew back from the cove to see how things were going with Tiffany and Koko. When she saw Koko, outside with Sakura and a little girl she never met before, she flew down to see who it was. "Hello Sakura and Koko, who might be this cute little girl you are playing with?" asked Ivy. "You don't know Sabrina?" asked Sakura. "She is Tiffany's little sister. I thought you read people that you never seen before." "Normally I would but she was playing with you and Koko so I didn't want to invade her privacy," said Ivy. I only read new people when I sense they have magic and may be a threat. So you are Sabrina that your sister did tell me about. I am Ivy and happy to meet you." "You are pretty like Tiffany told me but not as pretty as my mother was," said Sabrina. "She was the prettiest woman in the world. She watches over Tiffany and me now with my Dad. Gabtriel said so." "Ivy smiled. "Yes your mother had to be that beautiful to have two beautiful daughters," said Ivy. "How about me, am I beautiful too?" asked Koko that was up on her hind legs. "Your cute silly," said Sakura. Just like me." "Oh okay, cute is good too," said Koko. "So where is Tiffany?" asked Ivy. "She is in the palace, putting away the rest of our stuff in our new room," said Sabrina. "That room is bigger than out whole house was." "Oh so you two are living in the palace now," said Ivy. "That is nice." "Us three," said Sabrina. "Koko is our pet and lives with us too. Gabriel gave her to us." "I see, so what were you three playing?" asked Ivy. "Well you missed the best game, catch my tail, then we played crawl around tag but now we are playing word games because our knees are starting to get sore," said Sakura. "Yes and dirty too," said Ivy. "Can I play the word game with you?" "Yep, I am teaching Koko new words through riddles. I hope you are smart and can help Koko answer riddles," said Sabrina. "You can be her partner. "Sakura is my partner, she is really smart and can make up good riddles." "Okay, I think I can manage," said Ivy then winked at Sakura that was about to say something. As they started playing, Lilly flew over to where Alieta and Ginger were standing. "Hi Alieta and Ginger, is that a Precious playing with Ivy and Sakura? I don't know who the other girl is," said Lilly. "Yes that is Koko," said Alieta. "You know what a Precious is?" asked Alieta. "Well I don't know what they are but I met one before a long time ago, a bit before Tulip was born," said Lilly. They are hard to read but lots of fun to have around. The one I met was like a little tiger cub with big eyes like that one." "So how did you meet that Precious?" asked Alieta. "Can't remember exactly but, I think I just saw it playing with a girl somewhere," said Lilly. "I could read the girl a bit and she was very sad inside." "So did you find out why she was sad?" asked Ginger. "Yep, I found out a lot of things about her," said Lilly. "I stayed around for a few weeks. Back then Mom was still trying to find a forest that she could make a cove in. We were pretty far south from here." "So what did you find out if you don't mind me asking?" asked Alieta. "It's okay, I think everything worked out," said Lilly. I think the girls name was Elizabeth, some kind of elven princess, pretty young too, about the same age as that girl over there. Looks a bit like here too. Anyways she was sad because her father the king got killed in a battle and her mother was having a hard time managing things as a queen with no king by her side. Elizabeth told me that Trigger was a gift from heaven and she had to take care of her." "Tigger was funny and always wanting to play like the pixies here but she sure did need to eat a lot. Like every few hours. Such a little thing with a huge appetite." "Well that girl is Sabrina and her older sister is Tiffany, they lost there parents in a feud and made there way here," said Alieta. "They live in the palace now." "Really, they must be two very special girls then to get a Precious to take care of. I have only seen one and none of the other fairies ever saw one including my Mom. I was yonger then and everyone thought I was just playing make believe with them. Can I go and talk to them before Tulip gets here to start lunch?" asked Lilly. "I suppose so, said Alieta. "Just what you see in her keep to yourself." "I will, she does remind me so much of Elizabeth, hair is a bit different." Alieta called for Ivy and Sakura to come see her. Then Lilly flew over to Sabrina and Koko. "Hello, my name is Lilly. I am here to make lunch for everyone with my sister. "Oh my a fairy! Tiffany told me there were fairies here but we have never seen one before," said Sabrina. "I have seen lots of fairies but you are much bigger than the faries I played with," said Koko. Lilly found hard to read Koko but was very surprised to see what she saw in Sabrina. "You know Sabrina, you look so much like a little girl I knew a long time ago," said Lilly. "Really, was she an elf like me?" asked Sabrina. "Yes and about your age too," said Lilly. "The girl I knew, didn't have an older sister though." "Tiffany is the best," said Sabrina. "She took the place of my mother after she died. That's why I try to be good all the time and grow up faster for her," said Sabrina. "That way she doesn't have to worry about me so much." "Your mother, was she pretty like you?" asked Lilly. "Yep super pretty," said Sabrina. "I want to be as pretty as she was when I grow up." "You are already pretty," said Koko. "I am cute and only twelve years old," said Sabrina. My Mom was over a hundred years old and glowed with beauty when ever she walked into the room." "What was your mom's name?" asked Lilly. "Mom, silly, didn't you hear her say that," said Koko. "No she means the name everyone else called her," said Sabrina. "Queen.. I mean just Elizabeth. "Very pretty name," said Lilly. "So what would you two like for lunch? You must be getting hungry by now." "I want a cheese burgar with fries," said Koko. Sally in the dining room makes that, what ever it is." "You will like it," said Sabrina. "I will have that too and my sister likes burger and fries also." "Sounds good. When Tulip gets here I will make it for you three." Then Lilly flew back to Alieta and Ginger. "This is remarkabe and can not be just a coincidence. It all lines up, the time and the name," said Lilly. "Okay so what are you trying to say Lilly?" asked Alieta. "Well it is like the past repeated it's self almost," said Lilly. "Their mother's name was Elizabeth and was around a hundred years old when she had Tiffany then Sabrina. Sabrina almost said Queen Elizabeth but stopped and corrected herself," said Lilly. "She was very beautiful too. I bet Tiffany is pretty too." "Oh ya, that girl is gorgeous," said Ginger. "When she smiles her entire face seems to light up." "Sabrina said something similar about her mother," said Lilly. "So you think these two are the daughters of the girl you met over a hundred years ago," said Alieta. "Yep, I am certain of it now," said Lilly. "They are elven princesses and they have a Precious just like Elizabeth did. I wonder what happened to Trigger? Anyways here comes Tulip so get ready for lunch." "Thanks for the nice lunch Ktara," said Safire. "Do you want us to help you bring some to Zatsuky and Camen's place?" "No that is for their supper and I am just dropping off two servings," said Ktara. "I am having roast beef at Viridian's place for supper. She is a pretty good cook also." "Okay so have you been to that rock wall waterfall yet?" asked Safire. "Yep, I go there sometimes to cool off and shower," said Ktara. "The water there is very refreshing. You don't even need soap when you are under the falls. Cleans the hair too. Just go a bit north from here and you can't miss it." "Okay we will go check it out next," said Safire. "Okay see you later," said Ktara then took the empty plates into the house. "So do you want to fly or run?" asked Safire. "Run, I am nice and strong now and need to burn off some of this energy," said Casper. "Okay lets go, full speed ahead," said Safire. "Really? Okay hang on," said Casper and took off like a flash. "Here we are, pretty fast now arn't I," said Casper. "Holy, I think I left my stomach back at Ktara's place," said Safire. "That took like three seconds." "Yep the bond has fully clicked in now," said Casper. "Plus the spaghetti and meat balls helped too." "So this looks nice," said Safire. "Small waterfall just the right height for showering under." Casper began to walk out into the water. "Hey where are you going?" asked Safire. Just want to have a drink," said Casper. "Running makes me thirsty." "Okay have a drink then lets get up in the air and look for somewhere else to go," said Safire. "I just want to get to know most of Fae Land so that when people are talking about a place I know where they are talking about." "Okay I'm done, very nice drinking water here," said Casper. "Okay up we go, hang on!" "So which way do you want to go?" asked Casper. "Look way over there by those three trees. There is someone over there alone," said Safire. "Lets get closer and see who it is." They flew closer and lower and Safire recognised what is was. "That is one of the fairy nymphs," said Safire. "They don't usually come out of the Untamed Forest by them self usually." Untamed Forest, where is that?" asked Casper. "You see that long strip of forest just east of Eden, that is the Untamed Forest," said Safire. "Are there wild animals in there?" asked Casper. "I guess, there are sqirrels and turkeys and rabits and other things," said Safire. "Well those are not dangerous," said Casper. "I didn't say anything about dangerous animals," said Safire. "They are animals except the turkeys and they are wild and untamed." That's why they call it that?" asked Casper. "I guess so but it's not dangerous in there I have been told and a bunch of fairy nymphs live in there," said Safire. "Do you want to go meet one? They are really cute and smaller than regular fairies but not as magical. Mostly they make plants and flowers." "Okay, I like fairies, didn't know there was different types," said Casper. They flew down and Safire recognised the fairy nymph to be Nessie. "Hi Nessie, what are you doing way out here by yourself?" asked Safire. "Hi Safire, my Mom told me to make some flowers out here, she is making flowers too somewhere else," said Nissie. "Hey did you paint Tillia blue?" Safire smiled. "No this is Casper, my unicorn." "I didn't know you had a unicorn too," said Nissie. "Well I just got him yesterday, said Safire. "Say hello to Nessie, Casper." "Hello Nissie, Safire told me fairy nymphs make flowers." "Yep and plants without flowers too but Mom told me to invent a new plant with flowers," said Nissie. I am really good at making tulps, daisies and roses but when every I try to make a new kind of flower, it doesn't end up looking like I pictured it to look like. I'm not a very good fairy nymph yet." "Well do the plants you created have flowers?" asked Casper. "Yep but not the shape I wanted them," said Nissie. "Are the flowers colourful and smell nice?" asked Casper. "Yep, I am good at making different colours and making them smell good," said Nissie. "That part is easy." "You did say that ou are suppsed to make new types of flowers," said Casper. "Sounds to me that is what you have done already." "Hey your wright, said Nessie. Want me to make one and you tell me if it is good?" "Plese do, I love seeing fairy magic," said Casper. "Okay here goes," said Nessie. "Lets see, okay got one. She waved her hand at the ground then suddenly a fairly bushy plant came out of the ground then bright yellow, blue and red flowers grew on the branches. "Okay that was not what I was thinking of at all," said Nissie. Casper bent down and smelled a few of the flowers. "That is amazing," said Casper. I have never seen flowers like this before and different colours on the same plant is very rare plus each colour of flower has a different smell." "I think what Casper is telling you Nessie is that you just did what your mother asked of you," said Safire. "Can you make more just like this one? "Yep once I make one I lock it in my brain like Alexa told us to do when she was teaching us and then I can make them when ever I want," said Nessie. "Well there you go," said Safire. "I would say you are a very good fairy nymph. Maybe one of the best." "Really! I am so excited, I have to show Mom. Bye Safire, bye Casper, see you later." Then Nessie flew off. "So that is a fairy nymph," said Casper. "Well that was a very young one. I think about three years old I think," said Safire. "Really and out here alone? That is very young," said Casper. "Well nothing out here is going to hurt her and I am sure her mother isn't that far away," said Safire. "I must say that is a very impressive plant she just made," said Casper. "Well expect to see a lot of them soon," said Safire. "Ivy told me that when she first learned how to make tulips, a good part of Eden was covered in them." "That's funny, God bless her little heart," said Casper. At the palace Tulip started to to set up the table then Lilly told Tulip what she found out. "Really, a Precious you said. Do they do any magic?" asked Tulip. "I don't think so, said Lilly. The one I met a long time ago didn't. They all want burgars and fries so I will make that for them and you make lunch for every one else, okay?" asked Lilly. "Sure, after I want to meet them also," said Tulip. Lilly walked over and saw Tiffany was with them now. When she got close enough she couldn't believe how much Tiffany looked like Elizabeth's mother. "Hello, I am Lilly and I promissed to make you three lunch. Sabrina figured you wanted a hamburgers and fries." Yes that will be perfect," said Tiffany. "Okay have a seat on the couch other there, unless you want me to make you a table to sit at," said Lilly. "No the couch will be fine, we can sit on the ground too," said Tiffany. "Nope, your new to the palace so you get the couch," said Lilly. The three of them got on the couch then Lilly made her wand appear. "Okay so three deluxe burgers with fries plus a bit of fruit and salad. How does that sound?" asked Lilly. "Sounds great what ever all that stuff is," said Koko. "That sounds perfect," said Tiffany. Lilly's wand began to glow then three plates of food appeared. "Wow, that was so cool," said Sabrina. "Yes I've never seen magic before," said Tiffany. "I have never see such good looking and smelling food before," said Koko. "Well in Fae Land, magic is all around you and there are some very magical people here too," said Lilly. "Enjoy and I will be back when you are done." So what did you eat at that place you were before?" asked Tiffany. "The fairies their were lots smaller and just made bowls of vegetables," said Koko. "I guess bigger fairies can make better stuff." "Maybe, lets eat," said Sabrina. "I am starved after playing so much." Koko grabbed his burger first and took a big bit. "This is so good. If you two can't finish yours I will gladly finish it for you," said Koko. "I think your eyes are bigger than your stomach," said Tiffany. "I don't know, I have pretty big eyes you know," said Koko. They both laughed then started eating also. After everyone had finished eating, Lilly went back and asked how the burgers were. "Very good," said Tiffany. "Thank you." "Yep best burger I every had," said Koko. "Actually the only burger I have ever eatten." "Well I am glad you all enjoyed them," said Lilly. Would you like some desert?" "Not me, I am full," said Koko. "My eyes must be bigger than my stomach." Lilly giggled. "Okay," then she made her wand appear again and made the dirty dishes vanish. "Now stay put for a bit. My sister Tulip wants to meet you three," said Lilly. "Okay it would be nice to meet her too," said Tiffany. "Can I get off the couch, not sure if I can my bum is getting numb," said Koko. Lilly smiled. "Yes you can of coarse, your so funny like Trigger was," said Lilly. "What you know Trigger?" asked Koko. "Trigger is my friend, at least was before I came here. She was gone for a long time but when she came back, Gabriel did something to her that made her not have to eat so much. Man that girl could eat!" "You know Gabriel the angel?" asked Lilly. "Is that what you call her?" asked Koko. "All of us call her Mother." "So Trigger is okay, that makes me feel good," said Lilly. "Now I have to go back to the fairy forest but I will see you all again." Then Lilly flew off. The sisters made themselves comfortable on the couch then Koko jumped off the couch. Tulip came over and introduce herself to them. "So we have new girls here at the palace," said Tulip. "Your going to love it here. "Yes we will but we just got here," said Tiffany. "I still work here in the mornings but I don't have to walk home every day anymore." "And you have what Lilly told me is a Precious named Koko," said Tulip. "I have never met a Precious before, I am the youngest fairy princess. I am only a hundred and nineteen now I think. How old are you Koko?" "Beats me, where I come from there is no time like here," said Koko. "Really? Time is everywhere," said Tulip. "Not in Gabriel's place sort of," said Koko. "I guess there is some kind of time but I think it passes differenly then here. I haven't been here long enough to tell yet." Tulip smiled. So Gabriel made her own place with you wonderful beings in it. That is good to hear," said Tulip. "Well she told us that a guy named God helped her make her place," said Koko. "I don't know who that is but he must be very nice to help Gabriel." "Yes God is very nice as you put it," said Tulip. "Well I best get back to work in the fairy forest for a bit more. Always lots to do in there. I will see you all at supper time." Really! What's for supper?" asked Koko. "Anything your heart desires," said Tulip then flew off. "I like her too, she talks a lot and has pretty wings. Well that was fun," said Koko. "What do we do we do now?" "I take Sabrina up to our room and run a bath for her," said Tiffany. "She is all dirty." "Okay, what is a bath?" asked Koko. "It is lots of fun," said Sabrina. "You get into a tub of warm water and wash the dirt off yourself and play with the water. Do you want to have a bath with me?" Um maybe," said Koko. "Yes you need a bath too Koko," said Tiffany. "Best to be clean before bedtime. But it is only lunch time," said Koko. "Yes I know but if you both get dirty again before going to bed then both of you will have another bath," said Tiffany. "So what about you? Do you have baths?" asked Koko. "Yep every morning," said Tiffany but I try to stay clean all day." "Hm, that doesn't sound like your having enough fun," said Koko. "I have a feeling that fun is going to start becoming part of my life again," said Tiffany. "Now get your butts in the palace and get washed up. I will scub your backs."
