Prologue After Sandra went back to the palace after talking to Yeanny, it was beginning to get dark so she told Alieta about the plans they had about getting more teachers then went up to her room. Alieta and Ginger were about to go inside and get ready for bed when Ivy flew down to them."Well hello Ivy what are you up to at this time of night?" asked Alieta. "I have a great idea but I need to go back to Granada," said Ivy. "Really what is this great idea?" asked Alieta. "Well remember when all those aliens retreated and we could see them high up and they one that was here was able to fly up in his ship and join them," said Ivy. "Yes I remember," said Alieta. "Well that means only one thing, the two realities share the same space surronding the planet,: said Ivy. "Okay that would make sense," said Alieta. "Okay now remember when that girl came here with Sapphire that took pictures off that cell phone she brought with her and said it also was used to talk to people over great distances but there was no signal here in Fae Land," said Ivy. Okay I kind of remember her saying something like that," said Alieta. "Good, now I want to go to Granada and find out what is needed here so we can use cell phones here to talk to people without having to look for them. Just call them on the cell phone and tell them what you want," said Ivy. "Do you really think we need something like that here?" asked Alieta. "Well it would come in handy with me," said Ginger. "Plus there has been times when you needed to find Alexa or some of the heros and the sprites had to look all over the place". "Yes that is true, said Alieta. "Also it would be good for ordering dairy products from the farm in Cumberland and all the other stores I buy supplies from," said Ginger. "So you think this is a good idea if Ivy here can see if it is possible," said Alieta. "I am pretty sure we can do it, said Ivy. "Last time I was in Granada Olympia said a satalite in space was needed to make cell phones work plus a tall tower. We have the tower already and sharing the same space means there is a satalite up there already too. I just need to talk to Olympia to find out what is needed down here. I can always look it up on the computer like I did with the solar cells and electricity." Okay so when do you want to go?" asked Alieta. "Now, that way I can look everything up on Olympia's computer tonight or in the morning," said Ivy. Ginger smiled. You know she is going to go, she is just being nice and letting you know," said Ginger. "Yes I know. Okay Ivy go do your thing again, said Alieta. Just then Gabriel appeared. "Okay Ivy Olympia knows your coming but do this fast, she is due to come and live in Fae Land very soon," said Gabriel. "You already knew about this?" asked Alieta. "Yep, it was expected and is the second step needed here. Just trust Ivy okay," said Gabriel. "I do trust her but how many more steps are needed?" asked Alieta. "None, this is the last one," said Gabriel, then both Gabriel and Ivy disappeared. Gabriel and Ivy appeared in Olympia's kitchen with her and Sapphire waiting for them. "Hi Ivy nice to see you again," said Olympia. "How is the packing going?" asked Gabriel. "Almost done, I still have to close my bank account and take care of a couple of other things downtown," said Olympia. "Good so Sapphire the portal will be open every day at 2PM for three hours so when Olympia is ready to finally leave then you take care of her. Ivy you just call me when you have all you need," said Gabriel. "Okay, thanks Gabriel," said Ivy then she vanished. "Okay Ivy, I have bookmarked the sites on the internet that you will have to look at but I think we best get to bed now so we are all well rested in the morning," said Olympia. "Okay I had a busy day today so I am too tired to do anything right now anyways," said Ivy. "Okay you know where the bedroom is so I will see you in the kitchen for breakfast," said Olympia." Okay goodnight," said Ivy and left the kitchen. "Okay I am going to bed also Sapphire, lets have an early breakfast say 6AM. We have a lot to do tomorrow," said Olympia. "Okay boss," said Sapphire then vanished. Olympia went to her room and went to bed. In the morning Olymipa's alarm went off at six and she got up and changed then headed for the kitchen. Ivy and Sapphire were already there. "Your already up, I thought I would have to wake you," said Olympia to Ivy. "Nope she was here before I was," said Sapphire and I already made her breakfast. Yep got lots to do, said Ivy. Gabriel told me to go fast. "Okay do you remember how to work the computer?" asked Olympia. "Yep it is easy," said Ivy. "Glad you think so, it took me a full year to figure it out," said Olympia. "Now you figure out what you need to ptint out and buy while I eat something then we will do the shopping first." "So do you still have that money from heaven?" asked Ivy. "Yep she does and it is making big interest in Olympia's bank account," said Sapphire. "I'm not sure how it works but all she needs is this little plastic card and she uses it to pay for things." "Ginger is having some banks built in Fae Land maybe you can tell her how that card works," said Ivy then she headed to the room with the computer in it. "So do you think she will be able to figure out how to make cell phones work in Fae Land?" asked Olympia. "Probably, she figured out the solar panel thing pretty fast with Alexa," said Olympia. "Well I am packing my cell phone then just incase," said Olympia. In about thirty minutes Ivy came back into the kitchen. "You done already?" asked Olympia. "For now, I know what we need to make in Fae Land but now I need to go to that big shopping mall where the electronics store is," said Ivy. "Okay, I need to go there also," said Olympia. "Now you be good while we are gone Sapphire." "Oh I won't be far away," said Sapphire. "When the queen of the forest is out and about in Granada, it is my job to make sure she stays safe." Ivy smiled. "I am sure we will be just fine here," said Ivy. "But good to know you have our backs." "Okay then lets head out Ivy. There are a lot of stores in that shopping mall," said Olympia. The two of them left the appartment and Sapphire vanished. When they reached the mall, Olympia drove into the underground parking then they took the stairs to the first floor of the mall. "Wow look at this place and all the people," said Ivy. "There must be a hundred stores in here." "No just seventy but just about anything one could want or need can be found in here," said Olympia. "So what shop do you want to go in first?" "Lets check out that clothing store first. Viridian could use a new outfit or two," said Ivy. They started to walk over and a bunch of teenagers ran up to Ivy all excited. "You are real," said one girl. "We just thought they were using some special effects or animation when we saw Kendra on TV". "Well yes I am real," said Ivy. "Do you live here now?" asked another girl. "No I am just visiting," said Ivy. "I love your outfit too," said a girl. "Man are you ever beautiful. Well you girls are all very pretty too," said Ivy. "Ya but nothing like you," said a different girl. "Okay girls let Ivy alone, we have some shopping to do," said Olympia. "Okay, bye Ivy, it was great to see you in person," said a girl. "You best get used to that Ivy. Most people here have never met a Fae in person before." That's okay, I love the young ones. Very pure and inocent," said Ivy. They went into the clothing store and Ivy went to a rack of clothes that Viridian would likely wear. "Now these are tops that she would wear," said Ivy. "Not too flashy and sexy". Ivy felt something tugging on her hand. She looked down and saw a cute little girl. "Hello, are you a fairy?" asked the little girl. "Ivy got down on one knee and smiled. "No I am a forest sprite," said Ivy. "Oh but you have wings like a fairy, "said the girl. "Fairies have much prettier wings than mine," said Ivy. "Oh, can you do magic then?" asked the girl. "No sorry Lisa only fairies and wizards do magic but I can talk to trees and plants and make them grow faster plus disappear and fly," said Ivy. "Well that sounds like magic to me," said the girl. "Hey wait, how did you know my name?" "Well I can see things in people's mind and soul," said Ivy. "I can tell when someone is good or bad or if they have bad secrets." "Wow that is definitely the best magic," said Lisa. "What do you see in me?" "Well a very good girl that loves her parents but doesn't like the shoes her mother bought for her," said Ivy. "Ya they are yucky and hurt a bit," said Lisa. "Really, I never wear shoes but my guess is they are too small for you," said Ivy. "Ya but Mom said I just need to wear them for a while and they will stretch or something," said Lisa. Just then a lady in a red dress walked up to them. "Oh my, it's you," said the lady. "Lisa are you bothering this girl from Fae Land?" "No she is not bothering me at all," said Ivy. "I love children." "Ya mom she is really nice and can talk to trees plus make them grow really fast," said Liza. "Really, talking to trees sounds very odd," said Lisa's mother. "No it isn't, she can go invisible and see inside people too," said Liza. "That way she knows if you are good or bad. She is magical!" "Magical you say. Come Lisa lets go home now," said Lisa's mother. "Not with her wearing those shoes Mrs. Ferguson," said Ivy. Those shoes are the wrong size and are hurting her feet." "Did you tell her my name Lisa?" asked the mother. "Nope, told you she can see inside people," said Lisa. "Really? Then prove it. How old am I," asked Mrs. Furguson. "You are thirty two yeays old and your bithday is on the fifth of November," said Ivy. "Oh dear, your husband recently lost his job." "Wow, you are good," said Mrs. Furguson. "Ivy is a forest sprite and a very special one," said Olympia. "She is the forest queen in Fae Land and has the strongest reading skills in the world". "A queen too! Oh I am so sorry for not believing you," said Mrs. Furguson. "It was your daughter you didn't believe," said Ivy. "She has never ever lied to you or her father." "You know then, we have to be very careful with the money we have," said Mrs. Furguson. Liza needed new shoes and those were the only pair they had in my price range. They are just one half size too small." "Okay I get that," said Ivy. "Let me buy her shoes that fit and she likes." You would do that for us?" asked Mrs. Furguson. You barely know us." I know enough and I will not let such a perfect little soul walk around in pain just because of money," said Ivy. "When did you buy them?" "Just before we came here in the shoe store," said Mrs. Furguson. "Okay good, take those shoes off now Liza and we are gong back to the shoe store," said Ivy. So what about the tops for Viridian?" asked Olympia. "Buy that yellow one and the green one with buttons over there," said Ivy. "Okay good, I'll pay for them and meet you at the shoe store," said Olympia. The three of them went to the shoe store and was greeted by the sales girl. "Wow Ivylynn, your here! I didn't know you wore shoes," said the girl. "I don't but we want to return these shoes that don't fit Lisa properly," said Ivy. "Have you got anything that will fit her?" "Well yes but they cost a lot more, said the sales girl." I told her mother that they were wrong for the little girl." Okay price is no problem," said Ivy. Show us what you have." "Cool, I know the exact pair that she will love," said the sales girl. She went to the rack and picked out a box then came back. "Have a seat Lisa and let me put them on for you," said the girl. Look Mom, they are pink, my favorite colour! I hope they fit," said Lisa. The girl put the shoes on her and did up the laces. "There now walk back and forth a bit. Lisa got off the chair and walked around. "They feel great and no pain, said Lisa. "Perfect, so how much are they," asked Ivy. "Well these are high top runners and are very popular with all the teenages now, made by a high end sports clothing company. They are two hundred and thirty dollars but they will last a very long time and when she grows out of them you can bring them back and we will refurbish them then sell as used and give you a new pair for free in her new size," said the girl. "You can do that three times if her feet keep growing." "So actually they are the best buy," said Mrs. Furguson. "Yep they sure are," said the girl. "I have been wearing mine for three years and they still look great." Olympia showed up and saw the shoes Lisa was wearing. "Nice, pink high tops," said Olympia. "I have a pair at home too, not pink though. I bet no other girl your age has shoes like those." Probably not," said the sales girl. "I have never sold high top runners to such a young person. Those ones were for someone with very small feet. Okay so how are you paying?" asked the girl. "Interac," said Olympia. "Okay come with me then and we will settle up," said the sales girl. "My she didn't even ask how much they were, said Mrs. Furguson. "Don't matter, she has unlimited money from heaven," said Ivy. "That I truely don't understand," said Mrs. Furguson. "But it must be true seeing you have been right about everything so far." Ivy smiled. "Now you be a very good girl Lisa and maybe I will see you again sometime," said Ivy. "I hope so, your the best Ivy!" said Lisa. After Olympia paid for the shoes she came back and gave Mrs. Furguson the receit. "Keep that in a safe place so you can return the shoes when Liza grows out of them," said Olympia. "Oh I will, thankyou so much," said Mrs. Furguson. "Okay now we need to find an electronics store that sells phones like yours," said Ivy. "Okay but there is a lot more to them then just turning them on and talking to people," said Olympia. "You need to be on a network for them to work and Fae Land is in a different reality and there is no network satalites." "I know that, said Ivy but I have a theory." "Okay, it is upstairs," said Olympia. When they reached the electronics gadget store, Ivy went straight over to the cell phones. "Here they are," said Ivy. "All I need is two for now or maybe four." "Okay so you have to go to the front desk and they will get you ones in a box with the charger in it," said Olympia. "Then they have to set it up with a phone number and pay for a plan so you can connect with other phones but I don't know what good that will do." "Okay I think I understand all of that," said Ivy. "I want the green one for me and the blue one for Ginger". "Why Ginger?" asked Olympia. "She is in chage of the palace and does all the ordering for it. If my theory is right then this is going to make it possible us to talk to each other and even you," said Ivy. "Okay what is this theory of yours?" asked Olympia. "Well back during the alien attack. We captured two that came through the portal by mistake," said Ivy. "They were weak and I had my bracelette turned on so we took their weapons. Now after talking to them some, the radio in their space ships said everyone retreat, we lost. I looked up and saw lots of space ships high in the sky leaving the atmosphere. They asked if they could leave too and I let them. they flew up and joined the other ships then vanished". "Okay so I still don't understand how that is going to make cell phones work in Fae Land," said Olympia. "Well Granada's reality is lined up exactly with Fae Land's. If those ships were able to be seen by me in Fae Land then we must share the same sky and space around the planet."said Ivy. "Okay that makes sense," said Olympia. "Yep and if that is true then the satalite that the cell phones work off must be up there also," said Ivy. "It should by theory work just as good with these phones in Fae Land as yours does in Granada. We already have the radio tower close to the same spot where Granada has their tower." "Wow Ivy, where did you learn all this stuff?" asked Olympia. "Last time I was here on the computer in the library. Plus I talked a lot with Alexa when we were making the solar panel. she knows a lot about space stuff." said Ivy. "Man you must be very smart to figure all that technical stuff out so fast," said Olympia. "Hey what are those over there?" asked Ivy. "Lap top computers," said Olympia. "Computers! I want one," said Ivy. "Lets go look at them." They both walked over to the table with all the lap tops on it. "So can these do what your computer does?" asked Ivy. "Yep and probably more," said Olympia. "My computer is old and these are new with the latest software," said Olympia. "Much faster and large capacity electronic drives too so they will never fail." "Okay, not sure what that means but do they get the internet?" asked Ivy. "Well yes but I am very sure not in Fae Land," said Olympia. "The internet runs on a different network than cell phones but you can buy software for it." "Okay but I still want one," said Ivy. "What software were you talking about?" Let me take care of that for you Ivy," said Olympia. "A brain like yours could use a computer to expand you knowledge of the sciences plus there are good mind games you may like". "I like playing games," said Ivy."Yes I know you do, you just pick one out and I will take care of the rest," said Olympia. "This one," said Ivy. "But it is not green," said Olympia. "Nope, this is not a toy, it's a tool plus it is really shiny. I want this one," said Ivy. They both went to the counter and Olympia expained to the woman what they wanted plus they wanted the lap top. "Okay so two cell phones and a lap top," said the woman. The phones are fully charged and that lap top should be also" "Can you set up this cell phone first so I can call Sparkle?" asked Ivy. "Umm sure, but arn't you from Fae Land?" asked the woman. "Ya that is Ivy so lets get this done please," said Olympia. Ivy wants these two cell phones set up now with a network and phone numbers please." "Okay I can do that now," said the woman. She got two phones off the shelf and set them up with the network and numbers. "There you go, both phones are active now, said the woman." "Lets check," said Ivy. She punched in one of the numbers and the blue phone rang. "Hello Ivy," said Olympia. "Yep they work," said Ivy. "Okay do you know Sparkle's phone number?" "Well yes but I am not allowed to give out numbers to people, said the woman. "Well she is a good friend of mine and I need to know where she is right now," said Ivy. "I need to call her and it is important." "Umm okay," said the woman seeing she does have a pubic number". She gave Ivy the number and Ivy called it." Ivy called Sparkle on her cell phone and nobody answered. "Are you sure that is her number?" asked Ivy. "Yep it is," said the woman. "You see you have a new number so she will wait and call it back to see who it is." In a minute Ivy's phone rang. "Hello, Sparkle, it's Ivy." "Okay, hi Ivy, you got your own cell phone now?" asked Sparkle. "Yep sure do," said Ivy. "I need to talk to you. Where are you?" "At Cassy and Sally's place. I had to tell them how much money we raised from the charity concert," said Sparkle. "Best ever by far." "Really, how much?" asked Ivy. "Over two million dollars," said Sparkle. "Most of it came from people watching on the internet." "I was just getting ready to go back to Fae Land, so what's up?" "Well before you go I need you to do a favor for me," said Ivy, "Sure anything for you," said Sparkle. "I met this very young girl at the mall today and she was wearing new shoes her mother just bought for her but they were too small and hurt her feet," said Ivy. "Okay, go on," said Sparkle. "Well the mother's husband just got laid off from his job and money is very tight right now so I bought the little girl new shoes that fit properly," said Ivy. "That sure sounds like something you would do," said Sparkle. "Yep but you see they are a proud family and the father is looking for another job but can you help them with your charity fund please?" asked Ivy. "The little girl and the mother are pure souls. I dought they will apply for help from you." "Okay so who are they?" asked Sparkle. The Furgusons and they live at this address," said Ivy. "Great I will take care of them before I leave personally," said Sparkle. "There is one more thing I need to know," said Ivy. "Where exactly is the cell phone tower in Granada?" "Well it is dead center in Granada just outside of the down town area. You can't miss it," said Sparkle. "It is the tallest structure in Ganada". Okay I think I saw it when I flew to Olympia's place last time I was here," said Ivy. "What are you up to now?" ask, Sparkle. "You will see," said Ivy. "So Ivy how would you like to meet some of my close friends here berfore I return to Fae Land?" asked Sparkle. "Sure, why not. A freind of yours must be someone special," said Ivy. "Oh yes, they are very special," said Sparkle. Do you know where Sally and Cassy live?" "Nope, don't remember, hang on." said Ivy. "I need to go to Cassy and Sally's place where Sparkle is. Sapphire do you know where they live?" Sapphire appeared and said, "I sure do." "Good, okay Sparkle, Sapphire is going to take me to you, see you soon," then Ivy ended the call. "Okay you to that then I will take this stuff home with me after I go to the bank," said Olympia. Okay, Sparkle wants me to meet some of her good friends. I will see back at your place later on," said Ivy. She tucked her cell phone in the side of her top. "There it won't slip out of there. "Okay Sapphire lets go," said Ivy and they both vanished. "Wow I have never served a customer like her before," said the sales woman. Was that some kind of fairy that appeared out of nowhere and left the same way with Ivy?" "Yep it was and I am going to be living in that magical land soon," said Olympia. "So how much do I owe you?" When Ivy got to Cassy and Sally's place she found Sparkle in the kitchen waiting for her. "There you are, hi Sapphire, nice to see you again," said Sparkle. Always a pleasure," said Sapphire. "Okay I'll be around, I have to check on Olympia" then she vanished. "Well she is a girl of few words," said Sparkle. "She is just excited to be going back to Fae Land when Olympia is ready to leave Granada." said Ivy. "She wants to make sure everthing runs smoothly." "Well the girls are downstairs practicing a song so lets go, said Sparkle. She drove Ivy to her cottage then parked the car. "Okay this is my parrents cottage but just over there is my good firiend Faith's cottage," said Sparkle. "She is very special." "Special how?" asked Ivy. "Well she is the best female tennis player in the world," said Sparkle. "Kendra told me some about her, what is tennis?" asked Ivy. "It's a game played on a court," said Sparkle. "She has her own court in her backyard where she practices. I have played with her but I all ways lose big time! Lets go over and see what she is up to." They went in the big cottage and Faith was just getting ready to practice. "Wow! hi Sparkle. You brought a Fae with you today," said Faith. "Not just any Fae, Ivy is the queen of the forest in Fae Land and is very important there," said Sparkle. "A very magical girl." "Magical and very pretty," said Faith. "What kind of magic?" asked Faith. "She has skills but can we show her your trophie? I told her you were special and my friend," said Sparkle. "Sure I have my world champion trophy on the mantle but haven't put the woman's double trophy up there yet," said Faith. They walked over to the fireplace and Ivy looked at the golden trophy. "This says you are the best tennis player in the world and that was earlier this year," said Ivy. "Well best woman player," said Faith. "Well why don't you take Ivy out back and practice with her," said Sparkle. Tell her how the game works and what she needs to do. Maybe she will do as good as Kendra." "Kendra played with you?" asked Ivy. "Yep and she beat the heck out of me and my partner big time," said Faith. They went out back and showed Ivy the tennis court. "Wow it is big," said Ivy. "Why is the net so low?" I have played volley ball but the net was much higher." "Well this game is similar but you use these rackets to hit this ball over the net," said Faith. "The idea is to hit the ball over the net to me and make it land inside these lines then I return it back over the net if I can." Okay, that sounds easy enough," said Ivy. "Yep it sounds easy but you will see it is harder than you think plus you are not allowed to fly," said Faith. "Okay that sounds fair," said Ivy. Good, you stand over there and I will hit the ball to you first," said Faith. Faith got on the other side of the net and hit the ball softly to Ivy. Ivy returned it easily. Faith hit it back to her and Ivy was able to return it again. This is easy, said Ivy. Faith smiled then hit the ball back much harder and not at Ivy this time. Ivy ran over and managed to hit it back to Faith. Faith hit the ball over to the other side of the court and Ivy had to run fast to hit it back to Faith. Go Ivy go, your doing great, said Sparkle. Faith slammed the ball hard and it hit the ground and bounced over Ivy's head but Ivy ran way back fast then turned and returned the ball again but this time it went out of bounds. "My point," said Faith. "You are very fast on your feet, like Kendra was." Yep, forest sprites can run very fast too," said Ivy. "Okay you hit the ball to me this time," said Faith. "Just keep it inside this box." Ivy threw the ball high in the air then jumped way up and slammed it right at Faith that was unable to hit the ball. "My piont right?" asked Ivy. "Yep, your point," said Faith. "You jumped at least nine feet in the air then aced me." "Yep I can jump really high too," said Ivy. "Kendra can't jump as high as me." "Okay, lets leave it as a tie," said Faith. "I don't want to get beat again." "Well I am sure you would of won," said Ivy. "You are really good and I was just trying to keep up with you." "Thanks Ivy, it was nice of you to say that," said Faith. "Yep Ivy is awesome," said Sparkle. "So do you think Kimmy is home?" "Yep she is taking the day off," said Faith. "Good, I want her to meet Ivy also and take my picture with her," said Sparkle. "Ya she will do that for sure," said Faith. "She loves taking pictures." "Okay, talk to you later then," said Sparkle. "We just have to follow that path through the trees. Her home is on the other side of the woods." "They went in the woods and started following the path. "Wait a second," said Ivy. "This big tree is looking a bit droopy." "Okay, do your thing," said Sparkle. "Ivy went to the tree and grabbed it with both hands. Suddenly the tree started to move and raise all it's branches. "There much better," said Ivy. "It was just tired and is very old". "So will it be okay?" asked Sparkle. "Yep, just needs some rain. I will talk to Mother Nature later," said Ivy. They continued on their way and soon they got to Kimmy's house. "Wow this is a huge house," said Ivy. "How many people live in there? "Just Kimmy. She makes a lot of money and likes a big place," said Sparkle. Sparkle knocked on the door then walked in. "Hello Kimmy, where are you?" "Upstairs in my bedroom," Kimmy yelled back. "They went upstairs and into the bedroom." "Hi Sparkle and look, you have Ivy with you too!" said Kimmy. "Yep, I wanted you to meet her," said Sparkle. "Well Ivy it is an honor to meet you and you are even prettier in person than you looked on TV during that charity concert," said Kimmy. "Thank you, very nice to meet you too," said Ivy. What are those on the dresser over there?" "Those are some of my awards," said Kimmy. "Awards for what?" asked Ivy. "Photography and the arts," said Kimmy. Ivy walked over and looked closely at the rewards. These are very impressive awards," said Ivy. "They say you are the best. "Yep Kimmy is the best photographer anywhere," said Sparkle. "She never takes a bad picture. Can you take a picture of Ivy and me standing together?" "Sure can. Let me pull my camera over and you two stand side by side over there," said Kimmy. "Good now both of you look into the camera and smile." Kimmy took their picture. "Now you take one with me standing with Ivy," said Kimmy. "Okay," said Sparkle. "I am getting very good with the camera you lent me."
