Plan In Motion

Alieta flew back to Alexa and Amelie and said they are coming. "Sara was reluctant to put Tillia in danger but she didn't want the fairies stuck in the forest," said Alieta. "Well yes that makes sense," said Amelie. "Sara has to think of Tillia first. It is her job to keep her protected." "Well Tillia agreed to help also so all is good right now," said Alieta. "Ivy is getting Viridian for us." "Okay we will wait for her, then work out the details of the plan," said Alexa. Sara and Tillia arrived first then Ivy and Viridian got there shortly after. "Okay Alexa everyone is here so explain the plan to them," said Alieta. Alexa went through all the details of the plan. "So how big is this cane?" asked Viridian. "Well it is long but very narrow. You will probably have to take a few shots at it because he will be trying to get loose from Ivy's hold," said Amelie. "Well okay but I am used to hitting much bigger targets but I will try my best," said Viridian. "So where should we do this?" asked Alexa. "Maybe in Eden," said Ivy. "Lots of open space there." Where is Eden? asked Amelie. "Not far, past the waterfall mountain a bit," said Ivy. "Hmm, that may slow things down some," said Amelie. "We need somewhere closer to the forest where he knows fairies live." "What about over there by that nice red tree, is that too close to the palace?" 'Shouldn't be," said Alieta. "Ginger can you stay by the sundial and stop anyone from coming close to us?" asked Alieta. "Yep no problem," said Ginger. "I will sit by the end of the palace to make sure no elves head towards Tillia," said Alieta. "Okay lets set it up to look like Sara, Ivy and Tillia are resting close to that tree," said Alexa. Ivy looked at Sara that appeared to be worried. "Don't worry Sara, we will get this creep, he is no match against sister power," said Ivy. Sara smiled then said," Ya, he better not make me mad". Maybe he should," said Ivy with a smile.

Everyone took their positions by the maple tree and set up the trap. Tillia was already laying down looking very calm. "Okay I will have to get a bit further back so he doesn't sense my wand plus stay very small," said Amelie. "I can fly fast so when Ivy has him I will come quickly. Alexa set everyone up with Sara patting Tillia. Ivy sat and acted like she was talking to them. Viridian went invisible and stood back about fifteen feet. Alexa sat down in front of Tillia and took off her boots and hid her sword so it looked like she was relaxing with them. "Okay now we wait," said Alexa. "Do you sense anything Ivy?" "He is around somewhere but not very close," said Ivy. "I hope we don't have to wait here all day." "Well I doubt that but it is a small price to pay so the fairies don't have to stay in the forest all the time," said Alexa. "Though if you have to be stuck somewhere that is a very good place to be." "Yep but they like to fly around outside so we will wait," said Ivy. "Rub down a little further Sara," said Tillia, "That spot is good now." "Well you don't seem to worried," said Alexa. "No reason to be worried, I have my amazing family here and you made the plan so all is good," said Tillia.

About an hour went by and still no sign of Dr. Shadow. Ivy then said he is close but not coming closer. "He is very dark inside." They waited another ten minutes then Ivy said he is probably afraid of me. "I did put a good scare on him last night. I have an idea," then Ivy flew off a bit out of sight then made herself translucent plus went invisible. She then flew back close to Viridian. "Hi Viridian, can you see me?" asked Ivy. "Yes of coarse I can," said Viridian. "Well they can't," said Ivy. "You are invisible?" asked Viridian. "I thought you couldn't do that anymore." "Ya I know you thought that, just my little secret," said Ivy then smiled. "Look over there, I can see him," said Ivy. "Yes me too," said Viridian. They watched as Dr. Shadow slowly crept closer and closer. "Wait until he becomes visible," said Viridian. "Yep I know, said Ivy. Dr. Shadow was only about ten feet away now. He pointed his cane at Tillia's horn then became visible. Sara put both of her hands on Tillia as he tried to remove her horn. It wasn't budging so he tried harder then Ivy ran up and grabbed him. "Okay got him," yelled Ivy and squeezed with all her might. Amelie flew over fast and Alexa got up and went translucent also. Grab his cane," yelled Ivy. "Hurry up he is like a wiggly worm." No one could see Ivy but they could hear her and could tell she had a hold of him by the way Dr. Shadow was trying to get away. Alexa grabbed the cane with one hand and held on to his arm with the other. Viridian couldn't get a clear shot at the cane yet. "He is moving his arms around too much,said Viridian. Amelie couldn't tell where Ivy was and Alexa kept getting in the way so she couldn't use her wand on him either. Alexa grabbed his left arm with both hands and tried to hold it out steady but now they had turned a bit so if Viridian shot out a beam it would hit Tillia or Sara. "Can't hang on for too much longer," said Ivy. "He is a strong wiggly worm". "The heck with this," said Sara then jumped up and grabbed the cane. "Pull Sara," said Ivy. "Hurry he is going to get away. Sara could feel the cane getting hotter as if it was going to fire. She pulled hard but the cane wouldn't come loose. Then Sara got real mad and yelled, "Let got of that cane!" then gave one big hard pull then she said "Got it." She looked at the cane that cooled down right away but also saw Dr. Shadow's hand still attached to it. "Yuck, how gross," said Sara and threw it down. Amelie quickly blasted it with her wand and turned it to dust. Ivy then threw Dr Shadow to the ground fast and hard then Viridian ran over and hit him with a few energy steams cutting him up. Amelie finished the job and turned his cut up body to dust. Ivy became visible again. "We did it everyone," said Ivy. Amelie and Alexa looked at Ivy. "You can still go invisible like before?" asked Alexa. "Yep but I don't do it much anymore," said Ivy. "Just in my bedroom sometimes." Alexa smiled and went to hug Ivy but went right through her. "Oops forgot," said Ivy then went solid again. Alieta flew over with Ginger not far behind her. "Did I see that right, Ivy was invisible and Sara ripped his hand off?" asked Alieta. Tillia smiled and said "Yep, the amazing sisters took care of business". Alieta smiled. "Yes they sure did," said Alieta. "Now both of them are full of surprises."

"Okay everyone lets head back to the palace," said Alieta. They all started back but Ivy looked at Alexa. "Aren't you forgetting something?" said Ivy. Alexa looked down. "Oh ya, my boots", then she went back to put them on. When everyone reached the palace, Amelie had some questions to ask everyone. "Okay, I see that this must be a very special place with some remarkable people living here so first off, what is this place called again?" asked Amelie. "This is Fae Land," said Alieta. "Okay, now I have heard of the place but didn't realize it was real or anything like this," said Amelie. "Now I feel that there is lots of magic here and you said Ivy controls the magic. How the heck does a forest sprite do that?" "I use the overviewer in the fairies cove. It is a magical device that allows me to move and add magic to different places when needed. It is really cool," said Ivy. "Sara is getting real good at using it too." "Okay, I don't really understand how that all works but not important, said Amelie. "Now it would seem that you all are very capable of taking care of bad stuff your selves. You pretty much took care of Dr. Shadow yourselves. I have never seen anyone rip a man's hand off before and to top it off a forest sprite did it. Alexa here seems to be quite the girl plus the Ice Queen lives here and probably some other amazing people too. Now my question is where did these people come from and why?" "Well Amelie, they all came from all over the place over time, but enough with the questions. Just know that Fae Land is the safest and most magical place on the planet to live and everyone loves it here," said Alieta. "Ya I see that, no need for any more questions anyways," said Amelie. "Oh you can tell those cute fairies that it is safe to come out now. This is the only place that I have seen fairies that would rather be outside in the open than safe in the forest. Now there are only two other places where fairies live that I know of and that is Queen Guen's, forest and the one across the ocean. There is only four of us Garson fairies left that I know of so two over here and two over there. I am going to leave you people to go about your business what ever that may be and go to Guen's forest and keep an eye out for bad stuff there." "So do you know Guen very well?" asked Alieta. "Well a long time ago we used to sit and talk, said Amelie. "Okay then go to the east part of the forest, you can walk in a bit but don't take the path. It leads nowhere," said Ivy. "Just yell out her name and someone will hear you and get Guen for you then you two can talk there. She loves the company." "Okay I will do that," said Amelie.

Just then Pippa showed up. "Hi Pippa, I was just about to call you," said Ivy. "Oh really, why?" asked Pippa. "To tell the fairies it was okay for them to come out of the forest now," said Ivy. "My oh my Pippa lives here too!" said Amelie. "Yep she is my best friend," said Ivy. Pippa saw Amelie. "Oh hi girl, what you doing here?" asked Pippa. "Well not much it would seem, these people pretty much got rid of a shadow sorcerer by them selves." said Amelie. "Oh them, nasty things they can be," said Pippa. Didn't know many of them were left with you two wiping them out all over the place.". "Ya I know but there might be the odd one still around," said Amelie. You know you should start taking care of pixies and sprites now if you are going to keep flying around looking for bad stuff," said Pippa. "There is a lot of them around and they don't live in protected forests. There is a new forest just west of here that has a bunch more new pixies and sprites in it even a few forest sprites. Samantha owns the land and is a friend of Alieta." "Hmm sounds interesting," said Amelie. Ya and there is a very cute male pixie there named Kevin. I bet he would really like to meet a golden girl like you," said Pippa. Amelie smiled. "There you go again Pippa, still playing match maker. Do you think he would really like me though?" she asked. "Go and see, he is a very nice guy too. Male pixies are hard to find now days," said Pippa. "Okay I will. Alright everyone see you later then she flew off. "Well Pippa, you did it again, you just started another possible relationship," said Alieta. Maybe but she deserves to have fun too," said Pippa. "She is a very nice girl and has helped many. Garson fairies are mostly loners and don't play much, well most of them don't anyways," said Pippa. "So I will go tell Tulip that all is clear now and off she flew also. "You know Amelie was right, we do have some very remarkable people here in Fae Land," said Ginger. "Yes and who knows what will show up on the palace steps in the future, said Alieta.

"So what is everyone going to do for the rest of the day?" asked Alieta. "Well I should go home and get changed and see what is going on at the school," said Alexa. "The girls are probably wondering where I am." "Okay, the two elves there are probably taking care of them," said Alieta. "Okay bye all, until next time," said Alexa. Then she went to get her horse. "So Ivy, this disappearing thing you did. How long were you planning on keeping it a secret?" asked Alieta. "Well it really wasn't a secret well maybe a bit but Pippa and Sara knew and no one else asked, so I didn't tell anyone. It's kind of fun having a little secret some times," said Ivy. "Well yes Ivy, having a few secrets is okay like everyone else, as long as they are not bad ones," said Alieta. "Bad secrets are easy to see even for you all. They kind of stick out like a big bad thorn," said Ivy. "So I wonder why Tara and Avan haven't come out yet?" "They stay in the woods when it is hot out. They usually come out for lunch though," said Alieta. "Oh okay, I am going to go see them," said Ivy, I want to tell them how I helped fight a shadow sorcerer and made him scared of me and Sara ripping off his hand plus the golden girl. At least this time I can be the first to tell someone new stuff." Then Ivy flew off. "Well she seems very proud of herself," said Ginger. "Well she should be," said Alieta. "Ivy is a very brave girl. She has gone through a lot of changes in her life. Now she is exercising, that is a new one for the books." "Yep and I help her too," said Sara. "She is getting pretty strong for a forest sprite now. She will never be able to take me though." Ginger giggled. "She probably could beat you though Ginger," said Sara. "Oh not me, I am not the fighting type. I don't even like to arm wrestle. I use my head and not my fists," said Ginger. Pippa came back and asked where Ivy went. "She went in the east woods to tell Tara and Avan about the battle she helped fight," said Alieta. "Oh okay, so did Amelie tell you about her friend Keiko?" asked Pippa. "No but she did tell us she would be coming here soon but nothing else," said Ginger. Most definitely she will be coming here that is for sure," said Pippa. "Okay so what is she like?" asked Alieta. "Well she is completely opposite from Amelie," said Pippa. Amelie use to be just like Keiko but something changed her into being a focused just on her work. I think it was when she missed a Shadow Sorcerer and took a fairy a long time ago but Keiko found him and killed the guy and freed the fairy. Keiko is more about making friends and having fun when they are not chasing something bad. I will let you be the judge of Keiko but be prepared, when Keiko sees people everyone of them gets to meet her and very quickly. She is quite entertaining to watch and can read people very quickly so you rarely get to say hello before she moves on to the next person leaving a smile on your face. Okay Ivy can tell some pretty good stories and she makes them sound a bit funny with out trying so I will see you in a bit." Then Pippa flew off. Keiko sounds kinda like Sakura," said Ginger. Zan came out of the palace and asked if Amelie was still here. "No she went to Samantha's forest to meet a male pixie there," said Alieta. "Really, that is odd for her," said Zan. "It is about time she decided to have some fun. So what is going on today so far?" asked Zan. "Well you missed everything so far as usual," said Alieta. "That's okay, Keiko will be here soon, that is when the fun will start, said Zan. You have met Keiko?" asked Ginger. "Yep, she is like no one you have ever met before," said Zan.
