They both flew over to the elf village then above Lily's safe haven. "That opening in the woods is where I live, said Lily. Right now everything I made there is hidden. Once we go down there I will adjust the pond so you can see it all." "So is this like some type of illusion?" asked Ivy. "Maybe but this is what it looked like when I first came here, said Lily. Even when we are down there and you can see everything, it will still look like this from above. It is hard to explain but what I made is real and I control who can see it but the pond is the source of the magic that makes all this happen. Fillina said it was an amazing security system" "Interesting, something like the pond in the fairy cove," said Ivy. "I have never seen it but fairy magic is different from the magic I use, said Lily. So you ready to go down?" "Yep, you have me very interested in this pond now," said Ivy. "They flew down then Lily waved her hand and her haven appeared. "Amazing this place is beautiful. I have never seen a lot of the plants that are here, said Ivy. How long did it take you to create this place?" "I didn't make it all at once, said Lily. I started with the house and the pond then made some flowers and plants next. After that, I just did a bit at a time when I had nothing to do." "That must have been most of the time then, said Ivy. No Pippa and Quinn visited a lot and I would watch elves walking by from behind trees and bushes, said Lily. I found things to do." "I suppose but I would go crazy being here for so long, said Ivy. It is very nice but I love meeting people and exploring, talking to trees and plants." "I did sleep a lot but now I can see that I wasted a lot of time not leaving after all the fighting stopped. That was the main reason I stayed hidden," said Lily. "Okay, that makes sense I guess. "So can I have a closer look at that pond over there." "Okay but it just looks like a round pond," said Lily. They walked over to the pond which was very inviting looking. "Okay the water is crystal clear like the coves pool but I can't see the bottom so it must be pretty deep," said Ivy. "Yep it is very deep, said Lily. Took a while to fill up. "Can you go into it and swim around or just dangle your legs and feet in it?" asked Ivy. Nope, the magic in the water is too strong, said Lily. You can't drink it either. You can touch the water but you won't want to leave your hand in there for very long." "Why, does it hurt? asked Ivy. No just try it and you will see, said Lily. "Ivy bent down and put her hand in the water. Immediately she could feel the magic in the water. It wasn't a bad feeling and it was a vey good feeling at first but then went to an uncomfortable feeling. Ivy took her hand out. I see what you mean, I wouldn't want to sit in it but it is very similar to the coves pool just stronger. How deep did you make this hole?" asked Ivy. Actually I am not sure how deep it is. When I first got here and made my house I looked for a place to make a pond, I like playing in water, said Lily. There was this big bolder sitting on the ground here so I made it move away and broke it into small pieces but saw it was covering a big hole in the ground so I just made a pond big enough for me to sit and splash around in then began to put water in it but in a few minutes the pond was full with water so I quess it came from underground. No way I put that much water in it that fast". Ivy smiled. "Can this water heal?" asked Ivy. "Yep sure can but the water can't be out of the pool for very long, said Lily. If you scoop out a cup of water, and pour it on a wound like I do with small animals that wander in here sometimes it heals in a few seconds, a broken bone a bit longer. It will lose it's magic and turn brown in a few minutes. A while ago, maybe three years ago Pippa almost died and I didn't know about it. She got hurt badly by some kind of evil being while saving someone else's life. The being smashed her down to the floor and busted up her wing and leg I think and made her bleed inside. An angel was there and asked God to spare Pippa's life because she saved a life and was loved by so many people. God spared her life but Pippa was still in pain and needed to be fixed and rest for a long time. Pixie dust helped heal her. If I knew what had happened I would have teleported her here and put Pippa in the water for a minute or two then the leg and wing would have healed and she would of been as good as new inside and out." "Yes I remember that day, said Ivy. it was shortly after Pippa amd me became very good friends. Thousands of pixies flew out of the woods and dropped pixie dust all over the palace speeding up the healing plus Alexa helped too by getting a cup full of that pixie dust and sprinkled it on Pippa's broken wing. Fixed it right up fast. It was then the pixie's started calling Pippa The Queen Of Pixies. Really so Alexa was there and thousands of pixies all helped Pippa get better? asked Lily. Yep, all the heroes were there plus Alieta and Ginger, all praying for Pippa to get better. Pippa can be a bit nutty sometimes but she is very smart and has lots of friends. Now over there is the fairie forest and in the middle of it is the cove where the magic pool is that is fed but an underground river. I think that this water is the same as the water in the coves pool." Really so it is super strong magic too? asked Lily. Well this is a smaller pool but much deeper and it controls all this area that is very small compared to the fairy forest that is over a hundred and tweny square miles in size and that one pool controls all of it and it is a very magical forest. You will see when I bring you there. So is it time for some ice cream yet? asked Ivy. Lily smiled. "Yep lets go in the house and I will make something for us," said Lily.

 "Okay so I see you like the open space thing," said Ivy. "Ya, I just make what I need at the time. Here have a seat at the table," said Lily while making a table and chairs. "So what is the extra chair for?" asked Ivy. "That is for Poppy if she shows up, said Lily. So let me make something different for us. Do you like strawberry milkshakes?" "Yep, I like anything made of ice cream," said Ivy. "Okay then and some ice cream cookies too. I like them also. They are two chocolate chip cookies with vanilla ice cream between them. Have you tried them before?" "Nope never, said Ivy but they sound good. Sort of an ice cream sandwich." "Okay, then Lily waved her hand and everything showed up on the table. "Now this looks great Lily, thank you," said Ivy. "No problem, said Lily. Now I guess I have to stop doing so much magic for people too. I don't really understand why." "Actually, people here get along just fine without magic making them things, said Ivy. If a friend tells you that she really needs something to make things better for her then I would consider helping her out. Other than that doing too much magic for everyone is just showing off and they will expect you to solve all of their problems." "Do the other fairies not do magic for everyone?" asked Lily. "Well, just Tulip and Lilly make lunch and supper for everyone at the palace, said Ivy. Lilly sometimes decorates a place for someone new but usually Ginger asks her. Tulip does stuff for me like making the radio station tower and the satellite dish. Most of the fairies use their magic to keep the forest running smoothly and making new stuff in there. I see, so I can still do magic but I don't need to just to make more friends," said Lily. "Just be yourself and do what you think is best, you will get the hang of things in a bit," said Ivy. "Okay, I will see, let's eat now before the cookies melt," said Lily.

They both sat and talked some more and enjoyed the ice cream treats Lily made. "I really liked those ice cream cookies, said Ivy. We can make them at home." "Yep, sometimes the simplest things are the best," said Lily. "Well, I better get back home and see what is going on there. Sara will be back so I need to find out what went on in the cove." When can you take me there I would like to see it. It sounds like these fairies are very special and more powerful that I first thought," said Lily. "Six of them are fairy princessess and have very strong magic, said Ivy. Tulip is amazing and can read drawings and make stuff that I don't think you could, I will show you another time. Clary is the oldest sister and is the most powerful. Tomorrow morning at eight is when I start work so meet me at the palace a bit before then, said Ivy. I like to get things all set up for Sara and check the over viewer." "What is that? asked Lily. "It's a magical device that lets me see how all the magic is doing in the fairy forest and all over Fae Land, said Ivy. If I see a place that needs more magic I can send more there from Eden." "Wow you must be really smart to be able to control where magic goes," said Lily. "Well it was really hard at first but now I am in full control of the pool in there, said Ivy. Anyways thanks for letting me see your home and sharing some ice cream treats with me. So if I need you for anything and you are in the house, how do I get a hold of you when everything is set to hidden?" "Just yell out my name a few times and I will know it is you and come out to see you," said Lily. "Simple enough, said Ivy then left. "So that was fun and informative. I better go back to the palace and see if Sarah knows enough yet about how to take care of a kitten." Lily made everything vanish and then headed towards the palace. When she was almost there, Poppy appeared beside her. "I need to talk to you Lily. Can you land down there with me?" asked Poppy. "Okay, is everything okay?" asked Lily. "Yes I just want to tell you everything Gabriel told me," said Poppy. They both flew down outside of the palace grounds. "Okay so what did you find out from her?" asked Lily. "Well, Ivy was correct. I can show myself to anyone I want," said Poppy. "That is good then," said Lily. "Yes it is but I am here to do more than just help you when needed. Gabriel said angels that are on earth are called land angels and they are to help people in need and are not always visible to them. Mostly people who have tried their hardest to succeed or just need a little help getting over a bump in the road so to speak. She wants me to be there for the elf population which can be a big job seeing there are more elves than anybody else except for the pixies. Pippa is in charge of all them." "So does that mean I won't see you anymore?" asked Lily. "No, you will see me whenever you want me for something or if I would like you to help me out with something, said Poppy. Gabriel has several people that she calls her top priority people. When any of them call out her name she shows up right away, like Alieta, Ivy and Alexa to mention a few. That is all you have to do when you need me. Gabriel wants me to keep an eye on Sally and Penny too seeing they are both pregnant and wants nothing to go wrong with those two." "Okay so just call when I need you then, said Lily. Yep but even when you are bored and want some company. Then you can make more food for us both, said Poppy with a smile. So what are you doing now?" "Just checking to see if Sarah is ready to have a kitten yet," said Lily. "Okay, I will stick around in the background and watch. I am sure she is and Kalvin really wants a kitten in the house to play with too, so both of them will take care of it," saif Poppy. "How do you know that Kalvin will help her?" asked Lily. "I am an angel, we know stuff, said Poppy. Having an angel around can be very handy. When in doubt, just call for Poppy to help. Now go, I want to see how you make a living thing from the earth."

 Lily flew over and saw Zenith and Andrew standing together watching the kids playing with Tabby. "Hello, I see you made it here Andrew," said Lily. "This is Lily, the fairy that made Tabby for Jessie," said Zenith. "Well nice to meet you Lily, said Andrew. We would have gotten here sooner but after getting the materials for fixing up the basement at home Kalvin saw a swing that he wanted for him and Sarah to play on in the backyard. It needs to be assembled and was too heavy to bring back with us so I had to fill out a delivery request." "How nice of you to do that for them, said Lily. So I was wondering if Sarah found out how to take care of a kitten." It seems so, she talked to Jessie who has read up on cats back home. It seems like they don't require much care," said Zenith. "Nope just feeding and changing their cat box when needed, said Lily. These are house cats and stay inside most of the time." "There should be a pet store here somewhere. I didn't see one, said Andrew, though I really wasn't looking for one." Invisible Poppy whispered in Lily's ear. "Oh, you have to go to a place called Cumberland. There is a store there that sells pet supplies. Litter boxes and food for cats plus dog supplies. I guess in the meantime you will have to make something out of a box and use some crushed gravel. Cats are very tidy when it comes to doing their business and will even cover it up." "Really, well I will figure something out, said Andrew. So are you going to make the kitten now? asked Zenith. Sure just call Sarah and Kalvin over. You two can watch also but stand back a bit so you don't frighten the kitten when it opens its eyes.You two are very big comparied to a kitten" Zenith called over Sarah and Kalvin. "Lily is going to make you two the kitten now but you both have to promise to take care of it," said Zenith. "We will," said Kalvin. "Me too, Jessie told me everything she knew about cats," said Sarah. Okay then, get down on the ground with me and let's get started. Now we have to make it different from Tabby so you can tell them apart, said Lily. I would suggest a boy kitten and a bit on the brown side." "Doesn't matter to me, said Sarah, as long as it is soft and likes to play like Tabby." "Okay then, here we go, said Lily. She put out her hand and like before the air began to swirl around them. Slowly a figure began to rise out of the ground and then turned into a cute little kitten. "Wow it's beautiful," said Sarah. "Now wait until the kitten opens its eyes and looks around first, said Lily. Then Sarah you will put out your hand first and let the kitten smell it and then you can do the same Kalvin. Just don't move fast at first until the kitten gets its legs working and can stand up."

The kitten slowly opened its eyes and began to look around then Sarah put her hand out. The kitten smelled her finger and then licked it. Kalvin did the same and the kitten licked his finger too. "So what are you going to call him?" asked Lily. "Not sure yet, said Sarah, I never thought about a name." "Well you two think about it, said Lily. First, let me give it a small bowl of cream." Lily made some cream the placed it down in front of the kitten. He smelled it then stood up and began to lick up the cream. "There he is standing now so after he is finished you can bring him over to where Jessie is with Tabby," said Lily. "I hope Tabby likes our kitten," said Sarah. "She will, kittens love to play together, said Lily. I am going to talk to your parents now." Lily walked over to where Zenith and Andrew were watching from. "There you go, you have another family member now," said Lily. "Yes that was the most amazing thing I have ever seen, said Andrew. It was like the kitten grew out of the ground." "Sort of but not like a plant, more like the earth created new life with me, said Lily. This kind of magic is hard to explain. So nice meeting you two, I am going to go talk to Alieta." then Lily left. When the kitten finished the cream it sat up and began to clean its mouth with his paw. Kalvin grabbed the bowl and put it behind him and Sarah called Jessie over. "Lily said kittens love to play with each other so let's see if they will be friends," said Sarah. "Okay only one way to find out," said Jessie, She put Tabby down on the grass in front of the new kitten and almost immediately they began to play together, rolling around on the grass and jumping on each other. "Kittens play funny, said Kalvin. It looks more like fighting." "When a cat is mad it will wag its tail and make hissing sounds, said Jessie. These two are just having fun. So what's your kittens name?" "I don't know yet," said Sarah. "When I was wishing for a kitten I figured if the kitten was a girl I would call it Tabby but if a boy I would call it Scamp, said Jessie. Yours is a boy." "I like Scamp, said Sarah, what do you think Kalvin." "Hmm, Scamp you say, I think that is a good name for a cat," said Kalvin. Okay then Scamp it is then," said Jessie.

Lily walked up to Alieta in front of the steps. "Hi Lily, I saw you make another kitten and even saw the rainbow above you all." "Yep I made this one a male so I won't have to make any more of them," said Lily. "Why do you say that, I thought you loved doing magic?" asked Alieta. "I do but I went to meet Alexa today and she got mad at me then I talked to Ivy and she gave me some advice when I was around people," said Lily. "Okay, back up a bit," said Alieta. "What made Alexa get mad at you? That doesn't sound like Alexa at all." Well, she took me into her living room and we were getting along nicely and I showed her how rainbows are made when I created a plant on the table, said Lily. I told her that only happens when I use more than one type of magic but I had to use the white magic with my magic because there was no pixie dust magic around there." Okay so that all sounds fine," said Alieta. "It was she said that she was going to complain to Pippa as to why no pixie dust was in her area, said Lily. I told her Pippa was a busy girl but seeing she was the daughter of God Pippa would probably help her." "How in heaven's name did you know that? asked Alieta. Alexa doesn't want anyone but her closest friends to know about where she came from." "I read her when we first met in the backyard as I do with everyone I meet, said Lily. She said she wasn't mad at me but I knew she was and called reading people that live in Fae Land without their permission rude." "Well that is so true, said Alieta. How did Ivy get involved with this?" "Alexa said Ivy was like me when she first came to Fae Land along with someone called Keiko so she would be better for me to talk to about this," said Lily. "Okay, so what did Ivy say to you?" asked Alieta. "She explained that reading people that I already sensed were good and not evil was an invasion of privacy and that everyone living in Fae Land are good people and there is no reason to read deep into them, said Lily. I have never met an evil person but Ivy said when I meet one I will know right away then I should read them deep. Other than that she doesn't read anyone here anymore unless she meets someone new and senses they are bad or have some kind of magic." "Well, that is all true. Ivy no longer reads new people that are with me unless she senses something wrong or I ask her to, said Alieta. So what does that have to do with making more kittens?" "Ivy said telling people my magic is really strong and I can do lots more than the other fairies here is not right. That makes me sound like I am bragging thinking I am better than everyone else. She told me I should just talk to people to find out about them and shouldn't do magic so that everyone doesn't expect me to solve all their problems or wishes. That is why I am not doing magic around everyone here anymore. Besides I made a male cat this time so there will be plenty of kittens around in a while." "Okay, so what are you going to do now?" asked Alieta. "I think I will go home and think about what I am going to do next. If I can't do magic for people anymore which I love doing and have to try not to read people which will be very hard to do because it is kind of automatic, it is just part of who I am. I might just stop coming out here so much or find someplace else where people will like me to do magic for them and don't care that I can read them. First I will talk to Poppy though before I make a decision." "Who is Poppy?" asked Alieta. "An angel Gabriel sent down to take care of me and the rest of the elves in Fae Land. I can call her anytime I want like you can call Gabriel when you need help with something. I need to go now, see you later maybe." Then Lily vanished. "How is this possible. She was so happy today. She made that one mistake with Alexa and now she may be gone from our lives forever, said Alieta. There is only one person that might be able to fix this and that is Gabriel. "Gabriel I need to talk to you as soon as possible!"

In a few moments, Gabriel appeared. "Yes Alieta, what can I do for you?" "Well this will affect more than just me," said Alieta. "Okay so what are you saying," asked Gabriel. "How familiar are you with Lily the Flower Fairy?" asked Alieta. "Well a lot more now after I sent Poppy down to look out for her. She is impossible to keep track of from heaven especially when she was in that safe haven she made for herself, said Gabriel. For an angel to find out things about someone they have to be close to them. Poppy went to see her and found out a lot of things about her and passed them on to me. You are not concerned about her being out now and wanting to make friends finally after all this time?" "No, I think she is great and has made some friends already plus has done some amazing magic that I thought no fairy could do," said Alieta. "So that is the problem? asked Gabriel. "Well because of just one mistake she made and it wasn't even her fault because as she told me she has no control over it, she read Alexa and found out she was God's daughter and mentioned it to Alexa." "My, that would cause a problem with Alexa. That is a well kept secret," said Gabriel. "Yes, we know that but Lily now thinks that Alexa is mad at her and said she had no business reading her and it was very rude of her to do that. Alexa told her to talk to Ivy because she used to do the same thing." "Okay I can see Alexa getting mad but that will pass, said Gabriel so long as she keeps Alexa's secret. She will and I don't think Alexa was really that mad, just more surprised but then Ivy told her about how she never reads people in Fae Land because they are all good people and she shouldn't do magic all the time, saying it was stronger magic than our fairies do here. People will start thinking she is bragging and showing off. Her magic is the strongest I have ever seen. She has the most powerful magic in Fae Land." Why would Ivy tell her those things?" asked Gabriel. "I am pretty sure Ivy was just giving her options. Ivy can't or won't read Lily so she just was trying the best she could to explain to her that doing magic and reading people to get them to like her wasn't needed, said Alieta. Lily was so happy today when I last saw her. She was making friends everywhere and even made that unicorn valley with Fillina. But just a few minutes ago when she came to talk to me I could sense she was very sad and upset, almost ready to cry. She has been out of contact with people most of her life and I think she just misunderstood what Alexa and Ivy was telling her. You have to go talk to her and fix this." "Well I can talk to her but she will get over it and probably talk to Poppy," said Gabriel. "Lily said she was going to call Poppy but I have never heard of her before so can she fix this?" asked Alieta. "Actually, this is her first day being a land angel," said Gabriel. "Great, so no experience yet," said Alieta. "If you don't talk to her and figure something out, Lily may make a huge mistake." "Why what is she going to do?" asked Gabriel. "The last thing she said to me was she was either going to stop coming out here anymore or most likely would move to a place where people will like her for who she is and not care if she does magic for everyone that she loves doing and don't care if she reads them which she has no control over," said Alieta. What!" she can't leave here. Do you know how much good she can do for Fae Land and all the people here, said Gabriel. God will forbid it." "You know as well as me that he won't interfere with free will but he may blame you for letting her leave, said Alieta. "You are right, I am in charge of all the people here and he did come to me to get Poppy to watch over her and keep her happy and safe. He considers her very unique and he wants all those type of people safe in Fae Land. "Lily is more than unique, Gabriel. She is my friend and has touched the hearts of a lot of people already. She disappeared before I could say anything to her. She just said see you later maybe then vanished," said Alieta. "Okay I am on this, she is at home now. I can sense she is very confused right now, said Gabriel. I will get back to you," then Gabriel vanished.

Gabriel appeared in Lily's cabin and found and found her lying on the bed face down. "Lily, are you okay?" asked Gabriel. Lily turned her head and saw Gabriel standing close to the bed. "You are not Poppy I called for Poppy, is she okay?" asked Lily "Yes she is just fine, I asked her to not come because I wanted to talk to you instead," said Gabriel. "Well, Poppy is my friend, who are you?" asked Lily. "My name is Gabriel and I got some alarming news from Alieta just a few minutes ago." "Gabriel? Your the big boss angel!" Lily jumped up onto her knees. "Well I guess I am the boss angel," said Gabriel but that doesn't make me any better than the other angels, I have just been around the longest." "Okay, so Alieta sent you to see me, why?" asked Lily. "Mostly because she is afraid of losing a friend," said Gabriel. "Alieta calls me her friend? But she is the Queen and we have hardly talked, said Lily. Only briefly here and there." Let me first tell you about our Alieta, said Gabriel. She may be the Queen but she considers herself no better than anyone else here in Fae Land. She does have a bigger job to do but she loves her job and will do anything to make sure that everyone in Fae Land is cared for and happy." "But, but," said Lily. "No buts, let me finish, said Gabriel. There is not one person on this entire planet who has as big a heart towards people as her. When you told her that you might see her again that scared her and not because you can do amazing magic but because she saw how you were so happy earlier today and everyone you met you made happy. Doing magic was not a selfish thing on your part to make friends but was what you loved doing. You Lily are a person who loves to help and make people happy and that is why Alieta called for me as soon as you vanished and made me come here to talk to you and fix everything that Ivy and Alexa may have done to you but trust me they were just trying to help you because they saw in you what everyone else sees in you including me now." "So Alexa isn't mad at me and Ivy doesn't think I should stop doing magic?" asked Lily. "Ivy was just giving you options of what you should do. If she would of read you she would have seen that you can't control reading people and how much you love doing magic. Then I bet any money she would have just said be yourself and just don't tell anyone what you saw in them. Alexa may have been mad at first but she told you to talk to Ivy because she really likes you also and Ivy went through something similar reading people all the time. Alexa feels bad for what she said to you and wants to say sorry." "How do you know that? I am the one that needs to say sorry," said Lily. "Alexa is part my child too. I helped God to create her. God created the the baby and gave her a soul then he asked me to give her all the kindness and love in my heart to the baby. I always know how she is feeling. God will not stop you from leaving Fae Land but it will make him very sad. You will never find any other land that have so many amazing people that share so much love with each other. That is what makes Fae Land's magic so strong and white. White magic comes from love, God's love and the love in everyone else here. You keep on saying there are three types of magic here, your magic, Eden's magic and pixie dust magic. That is correct in a way but you don't really know where your magic came from and where Eden's magic comes from." "I know my magic came from a plant that drew the magic out of the ground," said Lily. "Not really. The plant was just a nest for you to grow in, said Gabriel. You were an unknown mystery to us in heaven for the longest time but now that I am seeing inside you, your magic is exactly the same as the magic that comes out of Eden. White magic comes from love, Eden's magic comes from the center of the planet. The source of all life on earth. You being created a fairy makes it possible for you to use what every magic is around you. "So if I wasn't created by the plant then who created me and taught me so much about the earth and plants everywhere?" asked Lily. "Well the magic in the planet taught you but God talks though his magic that is all around us to everyone, said Gabriel. How and why you were created is beyond everyone's comprehension except God's of course. "There are many things he doesn't share with us angels at first but now I can see why you were created. Now something you don't know, God saw you come out of that pod and saw how beautiful and kind you were. The first thing you did was heal a person that was hurt and gave him a little kiss. He knew that you had no soul and it was hard for him to keep track of you but but once you hooked up with Pippa and Quinn he could follow you and saw how good you were. God gave you his greatest gift. It was me that delived that soul to you and as you promissed you never killed anything again. If you were to leave then all the people that you have touch with that big loving heart of yours will be very said, so you see you are part of Fae Land, This is your home and has been for a very long time and this is where God wants and needs you to be doing what ever you do natually as the only Flower Fairy. So what have you to say now?" "Would you like an ice cream cone? I can make any flavor you want," said Lily. "I bet you can," said Gabriel with a smile.

Poppy was wondering why Gabriel wanted to talk to Lily instead of letting her go to her when she called so she went to the palace to see if Lily did anything wrong there. She saw Alieta out front of the palace so she flew down to her. "Hello Alieta, how are you?" ask Poppy. "My a different angel, I have never seen you before here in Fae Land," said Alieta. "I was sent here by Gabriel to make sure nothing bad would happen to Lily and watch over all the elves here in Fae Land," said Poppy. "Okay, so you must be Poppy then. Lily mentioned your name but she didn't say you were an angel, said Alieta. I have never seen an elf angel before." "That's because elves live a long time and when they do die God just put their soul into a newborn elf, said Poppy. I died saving my three younger siblings from something evil a long time ago so God wanted Gabriel to make me an angel instead. So Lily called for me but Gabriel stopped me from going to see her and wanted to talk to her herself. Did Lily do something wrong here? She is such a wonderful girl so I can't see her doing anything bad at all." "Lily didn't really do anything wrong, she was just being herself but she misunderstood Alexa and Ivy I think, said Alieta. Alexa got mad at Lily when she read her without permission and Ivy said something about not telling everyone her magic was the strongest and not to show off doing magic for everyone." "But Lily can't control reading people, it just happens and she loves doing magic for everyone, all fairies do, said Poppy. If I was a fairy I would make everyone in Fae Land a chocolate layer cake and ice cream just like she did for me." Alieta smiled. "Ya, I think I would too. The thing is she was thinking of leaving Fae Land to find a place where people accepted her for just the way she is, so I called Gabriel to talk to her so she wouldn't leave. Like you said, she is a wonderful girl and makes everyone happy she meets." |Really, she was going to leave, I could have talked to her too you know, said Poppy. This may be my first day on the job on earth but I have been an angel for a thousand years." "Okay, so what would you of said to her?" asked Alieta. "Simply there is no nicer place than Fae Land and the people are the best you will ever find anywhere on the planet. All she has to do is not say what she sees inside people and just listen to them. Most people ask all the questions when talking to a fairy anyway." "That does make perfect sense, said Alieta. "What would you tell her about not doing magic?" asked Alieta. "She is a fairy and that is what fairies do," said Poppy. "She only makes things for people who really want something bad or really need it. Lily wouldn't make Sarah a kitten until she was sure that she knew how to take care of one. Lily likes to surprise people with little gifts though, especially children. I am sure the fairies do that here too so why allow them to do magic and not Lily. I would say do all the magic you want Lily. That is what you were born to do." "Hmm, you are very wise," said Alieta. "I hope Gabriel tells her those things." said Alieta. "She will but Gabriel, as nice an angel she is, she can be very long-winded, said Poppy. Once she sees inside of Lily she will go on and on about stuff like how her magic is the same as Eden's and how it is a mystery of how and why she was created. Who cares. She is here and let's just enjoy life with her. Do you think I care that you came from a ball of energy?" Alieta started to laugh. "I really like the way you think, said Alieta. I agree, it's not important where a person came from, just how they are now." Just then Gabriel appeared. "Oh hi Poppy, I see you let Alieta see you now." "Yep and we had a nice talk too," said Poppy. "That's nice well Lily isn't leaving and I think she absorbed everything I said to her though when I asked her what she thought about all I said to her. She just made me a nice ice cream cone. I think she was just wanting me to shut up." Poppy smiled. "You probably had her wanting to stay when you said, "Hi my name is Gabriel", said Poppy.

"So where is Lily now Gabriel?" asked Poppy. "Not sure right now. After she made me the ice cream cone she told me there was something she has been wanting to do all day, said Gabriel. Then she just vanished. She can teleport just like an angel." "Yep she sure is something, said Poppy. Hey there she is over by that tree." Alieta and Gabriel looked over towards the tree then suddenly it vanished. "I wonder why she did that, asked Alieta. I have been waiting for that tree to make some apples for us." They watched as Lily waved her hand and another tree appeared but this tree was filled with ripe sweet red apples. "Well you don't need to wait any longer," said Gabriel. "I see that and they are red apples. We only grow green apples in our orchard," said Alieta. "Look there is the magic rainbow above the tree. I still don't get how that happens," said Gabriel. They continued to watch Lily as she made a basket then started flying around the tree picking apples and putting them in the basket. "Looks like your kitchen will be making apple pies soon," said Gabriel. "What makes you think that?" asked Poppy. "Well, what else is she going to do with that many apples?" asked Alieta. "Just watch," said Poppy. They watched Lily and as soon as the basket was completely full she came down and began walking with the basket of apples. "Hey where is she going, that is the wrong way," said Alieta. "Boy, you two are lucky that a young angel is here now the explain things to you old timers, said Poppy. She is bringing the apples to the stable for the horses of course. You want apples to make pies then go pick them yourself," then she vanished. "Did she just call us old?" asked Gabriel. "Yes she did, said Alieta. "It is going to be very interesting around here now with those two as friends. So when was the last time you ate a fresh red apple?" asked Gabriel. "Never, just green ones, said Alieta. Me too, What do you say we go over there and pick a couple each," said Gabriel. "You read my mind," said Alieta. They both flew over to the tree and picked some apples then sat on the ground and began eating. Lily came out of the stable and waved at them then flew over to the palace where the kids were playing with the kittens. "You know, don't you think that maybe God had all this planned right from the start?" asked Alieta. "Why do you say that?" asked Gabriel. "Well both their names are flowers, poppies and lilies That can't be a coincidence," said Alieta. "You may be right, who knows, said Gabriel. One thing I do know is that Lily sure does knows how to make a great tasting apple." "Yep she sure does," said Alieta.
