Sakura and Lulu brought Haiku and Willow into the woods leading to the Fairy Forest entrance, They were almost there when Pippa appeared in front of Sakura that startled the two fairies. "Hi Pippa, we are taking our new friends in the forest to meet the other fairies, said Sakura. Alieta said it was okay, we are on an adventure, do you want to come with us?" "When did these two fairies arrive in Fae Land?" asked Pippa. "I don't know how long they have been living in the jungle, a long time though," said Sakura. "Did you say jungle, what jungle" asked Pippa. "The one on the other end of the tunnel in a cave that Fillina made. It is a huge jungle with lots of animals and birds in it, I even got to ride on Sheba," said Sakura. "Who is Sheba?" asked Pippa. A great big elephant with a long nose, we met here friend Blinky also, she is a giraffe with a long neck," said Sakura. "Hello, my name is Haiku and this is my best friend Willow, we are Jungle Fairies, are you a Forest Fairy?" "Um no, I am a Pixie," said Pippa. "Yep Pippa is the Queen of the Pixies, she is really smart and can fly super fast like me, said Sakura. So are you coming with us or not? We have an adventure to get on with and you are slowing us down" "I think I will go to the palace and talk to Alieta, I haven't been there in a while, said Pippa. Nice meeting you Haiku and Willow, then Pippa took off like a flash. "Does Pippa always fly so fast?" asked Willow. "Most of the time, she must have lots to do as a Queen, said Sakura. Okay follow me I will show you how the trees work. This is the only way in for visitors, you can't fly in from the top or and of the other sides." "Why can't we fly in from the top of the forest?" asked Willow. "The fairy magic won't let you, that is one of Ivy's rules", said Sakura. "But Ivy isn't a fairy," said Haiku. "I know but she is the Queen of the forest and when Ivy tells the forest to something the trees do it," said Sakura. Lulu just stood there smiling at Sakura. Pippa appeard in front of Alieta as she was getting ready to go in the palace. "Well hello Pippa where have you been hiding?" asked Alieta. "Not really hiding, just doing stuff keeping an eye on all the pixies plus a bunch of other stuff, said Pippa. Oviously I should come here an visit more often to stay current what is going on." "Okay I agree with that, you have missed a number of things but they didn't require your help so I didn't need to call you, said Alieta. So let me guess you just met Haiku and Willow with Sakura and Lulu." "Yes Sakura said you told them it was okay for her to take them on some kind of adventure in the Fairy Forest," said Pippa. That is correct, you have not objection to that do you?" asked Alieta. "No that is all up to Ivy, though I have been having a problem knowing where she is today, said Pippa. Sakura said Fillina made a cave with a tunnel in it that leads to a big Jungle, don't you thing I should of been told about this new jungle so I can get the pixies to go there and spread pixie dust around?" Alieta smiled. You will have to go there yourself to see this jungle, said Alieta. I went there and let me tell you there is no way that all the pixies here could cover that entire Jungle in one night. I flew up far above the trees and could not see any end to it in any direction. Haiku says it is a never ending Jungle. Besides no pixie dust id need in there, it has it's own kind of magic. We need you to keep the pixies in Fae Land and do their thing here as usual." "Okay, so how long has this Jungle been here?" asked Pippa. "Well Sakura and Tigressa discovered it yesterday but Sakura thinks it is a heaven for all good animals, said Alieta. I already had a chat with Fillina about it and got some info from her. It is very safe and all the animals can understand what you say but they don't talk except for Toto that is a Tucan bird that helps take care of the animals with the four Jungle Fairies." "Okay, sao who is Tigressa that you mentioned?" asked Pippa. That's right you haven't met her either and her pet Tiger Shasta. They live beside in a house beside Yeanny that Lily made for them. Lily has been in the jungle also so maybe you should talk to her. She went pretty deep into the jungle than I did." "Okay, I think I will do that now, said Pippa. One more question, Why is there an owl up there looking down at me?" Ginger laughed. "That is Oscar, he hangs out at the palace now. Say hi to Pippa, Oscar." "Hello Pippa very nice to meet you," said Oscar. "He talks too, so from that jungle also?" asked Pippa. "Nope he has been living in the Pixie forest soon after it was made, said Alieta. Fillina figures all that exposure to Pixie dust made it possible for him to talk.. He is not trouble and makes for good company." Pippa shook her head. "Okay I better go talk to Lily, been a bit since we talked," then she flew off fast. "I like Pippa, she seems to have a good head on her shoulders," said Oscar. Yes she is a very good friend of many people here will always help out when needed," said Alieta. After Sakura introduced Willow and Haiku to the trees at the entrance to the forest she touch a tree and they opened up for them. "How did they do that, trees can't move like that," said Willow. "These ones can, said Sakura. Straight ahead is where the fairy cove is and that is where the rest of the fairies should be." Sakura told the trees they were going to fly to the cove and they opened up wide and far ahead of them. "Okay lets go it is a long way to the cove," said Sakura. The four of them flew along the pathway until they reached the end where the entrance to the cove was. Sakura touch the tree in front of her and the trees opened up and they all stepped in. "Look at this place Willow, it is amazing in here, said Haiku. These forest fairies must have powerful magic to do something like this." Six fairies were flying around in the cove above the pool, first Chestnut saw then standing looking around while Sakura was telling Haiku and Willow what everything was in the cove. Then Misty saw then and they both flew over. "Sakura you brought two of the Jungle Faires to the cove that Lilly told us all about," said Chestnut. "Yep they wanted to go on an adventure in Fae Land and Alieta said it was okay to bring them here and put me in chargew of them , actually I said I would make sure they are good but I like being incharge like Ivy is in here and Alieta is at the palace, said Sakura. Is it okay that we stay so I can show them the magical forest?" "Yes of coarse, we love meeting new fairies," said Chestnut. By now Lilly, Roseberry, Sunflower and Pippie had flown over to see them. Tell you what Sakura, you stay in charge, looks like you are doing a good job but why don't we all show them around the forest," said Chestnut. "Okay good idea, lets take them to see the swimming pool first then work our way around," said Sakura. "Good plan Sakura, lead the way, said Chestnut. Okay, where is Lulu" asked Sakura. "She is by the pool with her feet in the water," said Misty. "Come on Lulu we are going to check out the pool first," said Sakura. "Okay I am right behind you all," said Lulu. They all spent a couple of hours checking out the forest with Haiku and Willow that were overcome with how magical the forest was and all the things they had made in it. They ended up at the outdoor bar and everyone sat and had a bowl of ice cream. "A couple of us are going to have to go to the palace soon and make supper for everyone," said Lilly. "I have an idea, said Sakura, why don't we all go to the palace, there is lots of room and we can all play together." "You mean have a party at the palace?" asked Lilly. "I guess but not sure if Alieta lets, said Sakura. Plus I need to go home for supper, that is my Mom's rule." "I can tell Yeanny to come to the party, said Lulu and tell Tigressa also. I am sure they will want to come." "Yep we can make lots of diferent kinds of food and treats, dance and play games. It will be fun," said Pippie. Does your Queen like to have parties at her palace?" asked Willow. "Yep she loves having parties," said Pippie. "So your in charge Sakura, you know how to set up a party, you have been to lots of them. You tell us where to set everything up," said Chestnut. "Okay I will tell Alieta that we all wanted to come out of the forest to play," said Sakura. "Yeah! lets go everyone, time for a fairy party," said Lilly. They all flew out of the forested and headed for the palace following Sakurs. Lulu went in the elf village to tell Yeanny and Tigressa about the party. When the reached the palace they saw Alieta and Ginger talking in front of the steps. They all landed a bit before the steps. "Okay everyone stay here and I will talk to Alieta and see if it is okay to have a party here," said Sakura. Okay you do that, I am going to meet Oscar, I haven't seen him yet, Said Sunflower. Sakura walked up to Alieta that was looking at all the fairies wondering what was going on. "Hi Alieta, Haiku and Willow had a lot of fun in the fairy forest and we all showed them around and they were good and I was a good leader," said Sakura. That is nice to hear but why are the fairies here, it is too early for supper," said Alieta. "Well I said that we should all go to the palace where there is lots of room to play, then Lilly asked if they were going to have a party at the palace, said Sakura. Then Lulu said she would go tell my Mom for me because I have to be back home for supper, that is her rule and she is going to tell Tigressa also then Pippie said they can make lots of food and treats then said lets have a fairy party but everyone is really invited so is it okay if we if we can stay?" Ginger smiled as she saw all the faireis looking at Alieta. "So Alieta are you going to let Sakura have a party at the palace. She is not the first one to have one here other than you throwing a party," said Ginger. "Well I think it is a wonderful idea, said Alieta. What do you need Ginger and I to do for you?" "Just have fun I guess, said Sakura. Maybe Ginger could bring out a radio so we have some music." "No problem, said Ginger. I will get two and tell everyone else too," then she ran in the palace. Sakura turned around and said we can have a party to all the fairies, They all cheered then began setting up tables for food. Lilly and Chestnut made two tables for the food, Willow and Haiku flew over. "Can we make the treats, we are really good at making yummy food, said Haiku. Sure go right ahead," said Chestnut. They both picked a table then waved a hand and each table was filled with cakes and pasties, some that Chestnut had never seen before. Willow turned to her side and made another table full of treats. "That is for backup, always better to have too much than not enought," said Willow. Ginger came out with the radios and the girls began to come out of the palace too. "Awesome, the fairies are having a party," said Phonixa. "Actually this was Sakura's idea so this is her party, said Alieta. "Really, Sakura brought all the fairies here to have a party that is so cool, said Phonixa. Back at the jungle Ivy figured they better get back to the palace and see what was going on out there. "Why you can sense if something bad is going on in Fae Land so lets stay longer then we can make supper for Callie and Chiko," said Tulip. "Actually I can't sense anything in Fae Land from in here, not even Pippa and I always can sense where she is," said Ivy. Why don't we all go, said Callie. We would like to see what that huge palace building looks like that Haiku told us about." "Ya Toco is in charge right now and he can get us if we are needed. "Good idea said Tulip then you can meet all my sisters in the Fairy cove," said Tulip. "Okay you two lead the way seeing I have no clue which direction to go" said Ivy. Chiko smiled then they all flew up and out of the jungle then headed for the clearing where the tunnel back to Fae Land was. Back at the palace the party had started. Lulu flew back and told Sahura that her mother said it was fine for her to stay at the palace but she had Zotac's favorite meal in the oven so they will come after they ate supper. "What about Tigressa and Shasta, they have to come too," said Sakura. "Yep they are on their way and should be here any minute," said Lulu. Tiffany, Sabrina and Princess Aiko came out of the palace with the two precious pets and began to mingle and introduce themselves to the two Jungle Fairies. Tigressa showed up riding Shasta and went over to where Alieta and Ginger were sitting on the steps. "So this is what a party looks like at the palace?" asked Tigressa. "Kind of, lets just say we have never had a party like this before," said Alieta. "Yep Sakura must of figured it was time to have a party here, looks like everyone is having fun." said Ginger. Of coarse, if anyone can have a fun party than it is Sakura, said Tigressa. Is that chocolate cake I smell? Chocolate cake and so much more, said Alieta. I have never seen so many different kinds of deserts out at once. Go ahead enjoy yourself and have fun." Tigressa got off Shasta and walked over toeveryone then Shasta got comfortable on the ground. Trigger and Koko saw her and ran over to talk to Shasta and Ginger knelt down beside Shasta to pat her. As Ivy and the four fairies passed over Sandy lake they all saw the big group of people on the palace grounds. "Look Tulip, Alieta is having a party, said Ivy. She didn't mention anything to me about having one." "Who cares looks like everyone is there plus all my sisters, said Tulip. You two ever been to a party?" "Yep we have them all the time, said Chiko. This looks like a very big one though." "Yep and it is about to get bigger," said Tulip, then they all flew down. Ivy went over to where Alieta was sitting on the steps still. "Why didn't you tell me you were going to have a party?" asked Ivy. "First I didn't know we were going to have a party, said Alieta and second this is Sakura's party, she came up with the idea." "Really our Sakura is throwing her first party," said Ivy. "Yep she told me she wanted to be a good leader like you and I when she asked if she could bring Haiku and Willow in the forest to meet all the fairies then after she came back out with all the fairies wanting to have a party," said Alieta. "Looks like a good one, I am glad I desided to come back and check on things, said Ivy. Inside the jungle I can't sense anything in Fae Land." "Funny, Pippa said she couldn't tell where you were so that Jungle must be on some kind of a different plane," said Alieta. "Yep I can sense her now and she is headed this way," said Ivy. As Pippa and Lily flew to the palace they saw all the people out front having a party. "Odd, Alieta didn't say anything about a party happening today when we talked earlier," said Pippa. "Maybe you wern't invited, said Lily. I don't see any pixies there." "I always get invited to Alieta's parties, said Pippa. Lulu is there and she is a pixie. There is Ivy with Alieta so lets go talk to them and see what the occasion is all about." They both flew down that startled Shasta making her sit up and look at Pippa that was standing in front of Ivy. "That is one big tiger, said Pippa. I have never been this close to one." "Yep Shasta is really nice, she gets along with everyone," said Ivy. "Okay I bet just her head weighs as much as me, anyways what is this party all about?" asked Pippa. " Sakura is throwing a party for all the fairies, said Ivy. As you can see everyone is having fun and all the food is all sweets." "Now that is the way to have a party, said Lily. I see the other three Jungle Fairies are here too." Alieta stood up. "So Pippa, did Lily catch you up with everything that has been going on here for the last few days?" asked Alieta. "Sort of, I still don't understand why I could sense where Ivy was when she was in that jungle. I always know where she is, except when she went to Granada, said Pippa. If the jungle is just through a tunnel then that means it is not that far away. Your smart Ivy, what do you know about this?" "It's simple, the jungle is no where near Fae Land, may not even be on this planet, said Ivy. I couldn't sense anyone in Fae Land at all once I reached the other end of the tunnel so it is a portal of some sort." "Yes Pippa, Fillina made the portal so it is very safe in there, said Alieta. Go have a look at it when you have nothing to do which you told me is most of the time. It is amazing in there!" "Not by myself," said Pippa. "I will go with you, we can take Alexa with us too. I would love to see your faces when Sheba comes running out of the jungle to greet us," said Ivy. "Who is Sheba?" asked Pippa. "I am not going to tell you, your just going to have to wait and see," said Ivy. Conclusion "Okay enough standing around talking over here, lets go to where everyone is having fun and eating," said Alieta. "Okay I want to meet the other two Jungle Fairies," said Lily. Then she flew over. The rest of them walked over and checked out the desert tables. Trigger and Koko were trying there best to dance with everyone but they were definately no made for dancing that good. Shasta was giving people rides back and forth across the palace grounds that was a big hit especially for Repellia and Phonixa. Safire came out of the palace after having a nap and saw everyone partying. She joined in and got herself a piece of cake then walked over to the couch to sit and eat it. The four Jungle Fairies saw this blue elf and all flew over to her. Safire sat down and was about to start eating her cake when she was surounded by these four cute fairies. "Hi, why is your skin blue?" asked Willow. "We have never seen a blue elf before," said Callie. "Are there more blue elves like you or are you the only one like Sakura?" asked Chika. "I can tell you like chocolate, we like chocolate too, said Haiku. What is your name, you are pretty. Safire smiled. "Okay I see that all fairies are very curious, said Safire. My name is Safire and I am a Blue Fae and yes there are lots more of my kind but they live deep underground where the walls glow blue and the water is a bit blue also and over time our skin turned blue." "Okay, are there animals underground?" asked Haiku. "Nope just us Blue Fae," said Safire. "Then why would you want to live underground where there are no animals to play with?" asked Callie. "That is a good question but mostly because it is nice and quiet down there and much cooler than on the surface," said Safire. "Okay you make some sense, said Chika. I would get really bored underground with no animals to play with." "That is why I decided to move onto the surface and live in the palace now. More exciting up here," said Safire. Yep, you must be one of the smart Blue Fae then," said Haiku. "Well I am the Queen of the Blue Fae," said Safire. Another Queen! There sure is a lot of Queens in Fae Land, said Willow. There is no queen in the Jungle." Tell you what, let me eat my cake then I will go ger Casper that is my unicorn, then I will answer any other questions you four may have," said Safire. "You have a unicorn!," said Chika. We will let you alone for now but we want to learn more about the Blue Fae and unicorns, said Haiku. Then they flew back to the party. "That Alieta attracts the most unusual people to the palace," thought Safire then she started eating her cake. The party was still going strong when Yeanny and Zotac showed up to join in. Safire finished her cake then put her plate on one of the tables then started walking towards the stable to get Casper. She was half way there when Sapphire appeared in front of her. "Hello Safire, my name is Sapphire, it is an honor to meet you. I read all of Alieta's books and know lots about you and the rest of the Blue Fae. You are very special." "Well you sure do know how to do a good introduction, said Safire. Where do you live?" "In the palace but on the third floor, no one lives up there yet and I have the whole floor for myself," said Sapphire. "Funny, I haven't seen you before in the palace and I have been here for a while," said Safire. "I know, I stay hidden most of the time but come down to see Olympia when she is alone, she is my friend that I helped out in Granada, said Sapphire. Ivy is my friend too but she works a lot and has finished doing everything that she needed to do in Granada." "Okay so does Alieta know that you are living in the palace?" asked Safire. "Yep she knows and so does Ginger, they have pleanty of rooms on the second floor that are still empty, said Sapphire. I came to see you because Gabriel asked me too. I am not sure why yet but it must be important because the last time she came to get me, it was super important." "Okay so you have no idea why Gabriel wanted me to meet you?" asked Safire. "Nope except she said your were very smart and strong and she needs our help with something," said Sapphire. "Okay, can I go see Casper first?" asked Safire. "Yep he has to come to," said Sapphire. "I better tell Alieta that Gabriel needs my help first then," said Safire. "No Alieta is not to know anything about this yet, it has very little to do with Fae Land at this time I was told by her," said Sapphire. "Sounds very secretive, I like it! said Safire. When does she want to meet?" "Now, is that okay?" asked Sapphire. "I suppose it will be, Gabriel has never needed my help before so I am very interested in finding out what is going on," said Safire. "Okay lets go get Casper, I haven't met him either," said Sapphire then they both headed for the stable. The party was begining to wind down and the four Jungle Fairies told Sakura that hey had to get back to the Jungle before it began to get dark. They said goodbye to everyone then went to Alieta. "We have to go now but we really wanted to talk to Safire more and meet her unicorn, said Haiku. She told us she was going to get him for us to meet." "Really that is very odd for Safire, she loves showing off Casper to everyone," said Alieta. She called over Ivy. "Yes Alieta, what's up?" asked Ivy. "Did you happen to see where Safire went after she took that piece of cake to the couch?" asked Alieta. "Yep after she talked to these four she walked towards the stable then Sapphire appeared and talked to her for a bit. I was going to go see Sapphire but looked like they had something important to talk about, said Ivy. Then they both walked to the stable." "Okay so are they still in the stable?" asked Alieta. "Nope I can't sense them there anymore," said Ivy. "Can you tell where they are now then?" asked Alieta. Ivy went silent for a few moments. "No they are not anywhere close enough for me to sense either of them including Casper, said Ivy. They must not be anywhere in or near Fae Land." "I wonder what is going on now. Sapphire must of teleported them somewhere and she only takes orders from Gabriel," said Alieta. "I am sure if there is anything to worry about Gabriel would of told you," said Ivy. "You think, you don't know Gabriel like I do," said Alieta. The End
