Mermaids in Pixie Hollow: Figuring out Danielle's Talent

Figuring out Danielle’s Talent

Chapter 1: The Big Celebration.

One early morning after breakfast Danielle and her best friends Prilla and Rani were on their way to Heavendish Stream. Prilla and Danielle were the only two Mainland-visiting clapping-talent fairies in Pixie Hollow. And Danielle was the only Love-Life-Laughter and Heart-Talent. On the brass directory where it talked about Danielle it showed that as her talent, even though Danielle had 6 other talents that was the one that showed as her main talent, and Danielle was very proud of it. There was really only one problem with Danielle’s talent though. She had no idea what she used it for! She thought maybe it was for stopping fights or perhaps bringing happiness to fairies that are sad? Danielle didn’t know what her talent was used for yet but she was happy being with Prilla and Rani. “Are we going to play fairy tag when we get to Heavendish Stream?” asked Danielle. “Sounds good to…” “Me” Rani finished for Prilla. They all laughed. Danielle loved it when Rani finished for everyone, it made her laugh. Danielle was so happy to have Prilla and Rani as friends. Prilla was happy to have Danielle as a friend too. They often blinked over to the Mainland together and had wonderful fun playing with clumsy children there. Tonight was going to be wonderful! You see, tonight was going to be Danielle’s first celebration! Prilla, Danielle and Rani were all going to the celebration together. And they were all going to wear the fanciest things they had! Danielle had plans to wear her sea blue dress with the pearls. Prilla was going to wear her violet wrap dress with the lavender sash. And Rani wanted to wear her sky blue knee length dress with silver sparkles on it. The baking-talents had been preparing for the celebration all day! And everyone was getting ready. The light-talents were making sure the light show would go wonderfully. The water-talents had been making a grand water fountain. The garden-talents were sprouting the prettiest night bells. The music-talents had been practicing new songs. The art-talents were painting a grand new mural. And all of Fairy Heaven was a- buzz. Since Danielle had so many talents it was very difficult for her to keep up. She was flying all over Pixie Hollow helping her fellow talents. Which wasn’t very easily done. Prilla was a little lonely even though she was an honorary talent member of every talent, she still liked being with Danielle. But she couldn’t since Danielle was flying everywhere at once, and of course Prilla had no where near all the talents Danielle had. Danielle wished she could be with Prilla so they could blink over to the Mainland together. But with all Danielle’s talents she was needed to help out with the celebration. Sometimes Danielle wished she could give back some of her talents so she didn’t have so many. At 7:00 P.M. Danielle was finally free to do as she pleased, so she went off looking for Prilla. “Prilla?” Danielle called. Prilla’s face brightened when she heard Danielle calling for her. “Over here!” Prilla called back. Danielle flew over to Prilla and gave her a hug. “Gosh what a day! I thought I would never get free!” said Danielle with a relieved sigh. Prilla frowned a little bit but was still happy to see Danielle. “Want to blink over to the Mainland before we have to get ready?” asked Prilla. “Of course!” Danielle answered happily. Prilla and Danielle found a nice spot to sit and quick as a wisp were on the Mainland together. Soon after, Rani came along looking for them. She could tell they were on the Mainland but it was time to get ready for the celebration. “Prilla, Danielle, come back, we have to get ready.” said Rani. Danielle and Prilla couldn’t hear Rani, they were having far too much fun with the clumsy children. “DANIELLE, PRILLA!” yelled Rani. Danielle and Prilla heard her that time and jumped when they got snapped back to Pixie Hollow. “Rani….” “What’s going on? Its time to get ready for the celebration.” Rani said as she finished for Danielle. Danielle and Prilla looked at each other feeling silly about forgetting about the celebration while on the Mainland. They all headed back to the Home Tree to change and a little while later met up in the lobby, ready to go. The celebration went wonderfully! Danielle, Prilla and Rani all had a wonderful time, but were very tired so they all said good night to each other and went to their rooms and quickly fell asleep.

Chapter 2: The Bird That Was Afraid Of Heights.

The next morning, Danielle was up earlier then normal so she thought she would go for an early morning fly before she met Prilla and Rani for breakfast. Danielle was having the best time! But as she flu past a tree, she saw a nest. She flu over to see if there were any baby birds inside, as an animal-talent Danielle love’s animals! As Danielle got closer to the nest, she saw a golden-brown looking thing inside. And then she realized what it was. “It’s a hawk!” Danielle thought with wide eyes. She was about to turn and fly away as fast as she could, but right before she did she heard the little hawk crying. “No Danielle turn around and fly fast! Do not go over there!” Danielle thought trying hard not to go over to the crying bird. “Oooh!” said Danielle as she flu over to the little hawk. “Okay, please don’t eat me little hawk!” Danielle said in animal to the little hawk as she approached. Danielle was making sure to keep an eye out for the mother hawk. “What’s wrong little hawk? Where’s your mother?” asked Danielle again in animal. “I don’t have a mother anymore!” answered the hawk crying. Danielle was shocked that the hawk answered her, but even more shocked to the answer the hawk gave her. “W-what happened?” asked Danielle feeling bad for the hawk, even though hawks ate fairies like her. “She tried to teach me to fly bu-bu-but, I couldn’t learn! She said I wasn’t a real hawk at all! And so, so she left me!” said the hawk crying even harder now. Danielle had no idea hawk mothers were so horrible! “Goodness me! Well, why couldn’t you learn how to fly?” asked Danielle still watching out just in case. “I-I’m scared of heights…” answered the hawk feeling embarrassed. Danielle was shocked again, she had never heard of any kind of bird being afraid of heights! “Your afraid of heights? I’ve never heard of a bird being afraid of heights before, but its okay! Your rare like me!” said Danielle. “Rare? Birds aren’t supposed to be rare! They’re supposed to know how to fly right away! Not be scared of heights! I’m nothing special!” said the hawk sounding annoyed at Danielle. Danielle started feeling a little nervous but went on. “Believe me, I know special! I have 7 talents! And it’s not easy keeping up with all of them. Mother Dove says I’m a very rare talent. So I think I can tell how to point out other rare things to.” said Danielle not realizing something important. “Well, that is a lot of things, but you’re a fairy, your supposed to be special! I’m just a hawk, well maybe not according to my mother. I can’t even fly!” said the hawk getting a bit angry but still crying. Danielle thought for a few seconds and then realized. “Oh silly me! I’ll teach you how to fly, I’m an animal-talent, which is how I can talk to you, and one of the things my animal-talent does, is teach baby birds to fly!” said Danielle feeling proud of her animal-talent. “Forget it! My own mother couldn’t even teach me how to fly! And I’m still afraid of heights!” said the hawk more mad then sad now. Danielle was getting a little scared by the hawk now, but at least she could fly away if she needed to. “W-well, there’s no harm in trying. Let me at least try and teach you how to fly.” said Danielle. “Fine!” said the hawk. “Alright, but there’s just one thing you have to promise me?” said Danielle ready to fly if she had to. “What?” answered the hawk. “You have to promise, that if I can teach you to fly, you can’t eat me, or any other fairy ever! Is it a deal?” asked Danielle. “Okay, but if you can’t, I get to eat you.” said the hawk. Danielle swallowed hard, what if she couldn’t teach the hawk to fly? Then the hawk would eat her! Danielle didn’t want to be eaten, but knew she had talent for this. “D-deal.” agreed Danielle. Danielle then realized she had forgotten about breakfast. “I have to go! I’ll be back soon, I promise.” Danielle gave her word to the hawk. Danielle flu back to the Home Tree as fast as she could and just barely made it in time. “Danielle! There you are! Where have you been!?” asked Prilla. “Oh I just went for an early morning fly before breakfast.” Danielle said still a bit out of breath from flying so fast to get back. “Oh alright. Come on Rani is waiting for us at the water-talent table.” Prilla said with a smile. “Okay.” answered Danielle.

Chapter 3: In Way Over Danielle’s Head.

After a few days of trying to teach the hawk to fly, Danielle was getting nowhere! Danielle was starting to loose hope that she was ever going to get this little hawk to fly and if she couldn’t, she was going to be lunch! “Lunch! Oh I have to get home for lunch! I’ll be back after.” Danielle told the hawk. “Danielle, is everything okay? You’ve been vanishing for the past few days.”said Prilla. “Oh, I’ve just been busy lately.” said Danielle. Danielle hated lying to Prilla, but Danielle had been busy lately trying to teach the hawk to fly, so it wasn’t really lying, was it? “Oh, alright then. Come on lets go sit with Rani.” said Prilla. “Oh right, okay, but I need to talk to Beck first, just for a few minutes then I’ll be over.” said Danielle. Prilla looked a little confused but understood and nodded. So Danielle went over to the animal-talent table. “Beck, can I talk to you for a moment please?” asked Danielle. “Sure Danielle.” answered Beck. Danielle and Beck then left the Tea Room and went out into the hall. “Beck I need your help! I don’t know enough about being an animal-talent yet, I’m way over my head! Please can you help me!?” Danielle said in one big breathe. “Stars in the sky Danielle, calm down! What is it that you need so much help with?” asked Beck. “W-well… you see, there’s this little…” Danielle started. “Little what? Animal?” asked Beck. “Well, yes.” Danielle said, her wings shacking. “Okay, so what kind of animal is it? I’m sure it will be no trouble at all helping it.” said Beck. “W-well, you see that’s the thing, I’ve been trying to teach it for the past few days now, and you see I made a deal with this animal…” said Danielle, her wings shacking harder. “A deal? I know of every animal in Never Land and the only animal that would ever make a deal would be a hawk!” Beck said laughing. “Mmhmm…” Danielle murmured sinking her head low on her shoulders and nodding. “Ahaha, ahaha, uh. Y-your not joking are you?” asked Beck. Danielle shook her head no. Beck quickly fell quiet, this wasn’t funny at all anymore. “Danielle! Thundering thistles! What in Fairy Heaven were you thinking!?” yelled Beck. “His mother left him and said he wasn’t a real hawk at all! He’s afraid of heights and too scared to fly! And as an animal-talent I had to try and help. But the he said if I couldn’t teach him to fly, he was going to eat me! Beck I really need your help, please!” Danielle cried. But before Beck could answer, Prilla, Rani, Bess, Fira, Lily, Tink, Fawn, Silvermist and Queen Ree came out into the hall. “Is everything alright out here?” asked Queen Ree. Danielle had no idea what to say, neither did Beck. “E-everything’s fine Queen Ree. I was just asking Beck something. I’d fly backward if I could, we didn’t mean to be so loud.” Danielle said finally. After a few moments of quiet, everyone went back into the Tea Room to finish their meals. Danielle hardly ate that afternoon. But when lunch was over Danielle waited for Beck outside of the Tea Room. “Beck, please, I really need your help!” said Danielle when Beck came out. “Danielle, you never should have gotten yourself into this! I can’t help you, I’m sorry.” said Beck frowning and flying off. Danielle understood where Beck was coming from and didn’t complain about the answer Beck gave her. So, Danielle flu off back to the hawk, fully ready to tell the hawk it was no use anymore, and fully ready to be the hawks lunch.

Chapter 4: That’s It!

As Danielle got back to the hawks nest all she could think about was how much she was going to miss Prilla and Rani. But as she got to the nest, she saw that, there was nothing in it! She thought maybe the hawk had fell to the ground so she flu to the ground as fast as she could, but she didn’t find the hawk. She was very puzzled, till she looked up and saw, the hawk flying! The hawk noticed Danielle and flu down to her. “Thank you little fairy! You’ve taught me how to fly! And for all your Love, Heart and kindness I will keep my end of the deal and won’t eat you or any other fairy ever! You have given me Life little fairy and I can never thank you enough!” said the hawk. Danielle was so happy she wouldn’t be lunch or anyone else in Fairy Heaven! As Danielle was flying back to the Home Tree, it hit her! “Love? Life? Heart? Those are all parts of my talent! Wait a moment, I can spot when something’s rare, I can make my friends Laugh, I can’t stand seeing anyone in need without helping them, and I can bring Life into others! MY TALENT! THAT’S HOW I’M SUPPOSED TO USE IT! To help others! Thundering thistles I have to tell Prilla and Rani!” Danielle said out loud to herself. Danielle flu as fast as she could to find Prilla and Rani so she could tell them the good news. “I finally know what my talent is for!” thought Danielle flying home.
