Prolog

Jessica, Jazmen and Daisy got up early and started working on getting the fruit flavoring ready for the candy. Once that was all done they started adding all the hardening compounds to them then began filling the trays. They were making good time and once the first batch was ready, Jazmen started boxing them while Jessica and Daisy started on the next batch. In a few hours they had over two hundred boxes ready. Jessica got everything set up for when her friends were coming over to finish things off while they were at the party. Alieta and Ginger were making the last touches for the party with a few elves. When they were satisfied that all was ready. Alieta and Ginger went outside and sat on the palace steps and looked around and saw that hardly anyone was around. Even the elves that were normally walking around were not to be seen. Ginger figured that everyone took the day off and were getting ready for the party. Now at Ivy's place things were not as usual at all. Ivy was walking around from room to room and kept asking Viridian can we leave yet. Sara was very amused by Ivy's unusual behavior and had a big smile on her face. Viridian told Ivy to sit down and eat something before we headed out in a few hours. Ivy said she was not hungry but Viridian made her eat anyways, saying that she would need the strength for opening presents. That seem to do the trick and Ivy sat and ate but Sara was still smiling. All the heroes were getting their clothes ready to be worn for the party. There was nothing else to do but wait for the time to click by. Alexa was all excited too. Diego found this odd seeing it wasn't Alexa's birthday. Alexa told him that she had never been to someone else's birthday party before and the parties she had as a child were just small with a few friends and her parents. Tulip had gathered all the fairies together and told them that this is Ivy's special day. Now there will probably be a lot of people there so we will help with the food and entertainment. What kind of entertainment? asked Misty. You know the regular stuff like doing little magic tricks for everyone. Lots of the people there probably haven't seen us yet so lets make it memorable for everyone, said Tulip.

The Countdown

It was less than an hour before it was time for them to head out. Ivy was now starting to act nutty. Walking all over the place and almost bouncing off walls. Sara had enough and grabbed Ivy and said if you don't stop running around like a headless chicken I will sit on you until it is time to leave. Ivy looked at Sara and saw she meant it. Okay I am sorry. I didn't mean to make you mad. I am not mad just getting dizzy watching you, said Sara. Okay Ivy go in your room and brush your hair and make sure you look perfect, said Viridian. Okay, said Ivy and went to her room. Is she going to be okay? asked Sara. I hope so, said Viridian. Just try to keep her as calm as possible. We don't want her having a nervous break down. What is that? asked Sara. Well almost what she is doing right now, said Viridian with a smile. Alexa and Diego got dressed and Tempressa showed up. They all started to head out to Ktara's place but Angus and Sivia were not waiting around and they took off to the palace to wait for everyone. Carmen and Zatsuky were at Ktara's place waiting for Tempressa, Diego and Alexa. They saw Angus and Sivia run by. Well that means Alexa is on her way, said Carmen. Soon the three of them reached Ktara's place and they all headed out to Ivy's place. On their way to Ivy's place Paisley, Titus and all the centaurs joined them. Now we are taking Ivy to the party so no letting her fly ahead of us, said Alexa. She can ride on me, said Oaklyn. That will make her feel like one of the gang I think. Okay that sounds good, said Alexa. Pippa showed up and asked if she could be part of the gang too. You bet, said Alexa. That will make her happy to see you too. You can knock on the door and get them. Okay, said Pippa.

They reached Ivy's place and Pippa went and knocked on the door. Sara answered it and said thank God you are here. Ivy is driving us crazy. Pippa smiled. Ya I figured that. Pippa went in and saw Ivy was pacing. Hi Ivy, looks like you are ready to go. Yep I have been ready since I got up, said Ivy. Now the entire team is out there to bring you to the palace so no flying okay, said Pippa. Um, okay I guess, said Ivy. Now Oaklyn is going to let you ride on her back so just stay calm and enjoy the ride. You will be part of the gang, said Pippa. Really? Okay I like that, said Ivy. Viridian went out and got her horse then Pippa led Sara and Ivy to everyone. Ivy jumped on Oaklyn's back and Starlite told Sara that she could ride on her. Sara jumped up on Starlite then she said, "My you are quite the girl". Yep I sure am, said Sara and smiled. They all headed out together and in about ten minutes they got to the palace grounds that was empty with no one to be seen. So where is everyone? asked Ivy. You will see, said Pippa. Alieta and Ginger have everything set up for you inside.
