One sleepy night on the Mainland while everyone slept little Jeramy Williams had his first laugh! It burst out the window and started making its way to Never Land. It would take the laugh a while to get there of course. But back in Never Land Mother Dove in all her wisdom knew that a new little fairy was on its way! She told Beck an Animal-Talent fairy that it wouldn’t be long before they had a new arrival! Pixie Hollow quickly became a buzz with excitement, all through Fairy Heaven as fairies continued on with their daily lives they were sure to be on the look out for the laugh. Especially Prilla! Pilla was the only Mainland-visiting clapping-talent fairy in Never Land! She had high hopes that the new comer might be one as well. Prilla was trying to be very careful not to blink over to the Mainland and possibly miss the laugh. It was nearly dark but even after dinner Prilla went back out to watch for the laugh. A few minutes later Rani a Water-Talent fairy joined Prilla to keep her company for a while. It the sun was very low in the sky and it was getting very dark out. Prilla and Rani were getting tired. “You go ahead to the Home Tree and get some sleep. I’ll be along soon.” Prilla said. Rani nodded and started to the Home Tree. Prilla sighed a long heavy sigh “Oh I wish that laugh would hurry” She thought to herself. Then went to the Home Tree and up to her room where she fell fast asleep. The laugh was nearly to Never Land by the next morning. It bounced along happily, riding the breeze, making its way to Never Land. The morning sun peeked into Prilla’s room early the next day and quick as she possibly could, Prilla was up, dressed and back on the lookout for the laugh. “Oh laugh where are you?” Prilla said to herself out loud after a while of waiting. While waiting for the laugh to get there Prilla blinked over to the Mainland for a little while. After 3 more hours the laugh had finally made its way to Never Land! And Never Land was more then happy to except it in. Mother Dove knew right when Never Land had accepted the laugh in, she told Beck and word quickly spread. Prilla was still on the Mainland playing with clumsy children but she was snapped back to Pixie Hollow when she heard a familiar voice. It was Tinker Bell the best pots-and-pans fairy in Fairy Heaven. “The laughs finally here! Come on Prilla hurry!” Tink told her. “Has it landed yet!? Is it a fairy!? Did I miss everything!?” Prilla asked while her and Tink were flying. “Not yet. And no. That’s why we have to hurry!” said Tink. Tink and Prilla got to the big group of fairies gathering near the Home Tree waiting for the minute the laugh landed and turned into a new fairy! Prilla made her way to the front of the crowd. She didn’t want to miss anything! The laugh landed and there, near the Home Tree, was Danielle in her arrival garment. She had fawn brown shoulder length hair, with two small pieces of hair falling from the top and sweeping behind her ears. The newest arrival to Fairy Heaven! Terence a Dust-Talent sparrow man, had Danielle’s first daily dose of fairy dust. He sprinkled a level teacup of dust-not a smidgen more or smidgen less- over Danielle. And the minute the dust touched her, a tingly feeling spread over her, and her glow began. Danielle got to her feet and looked around at all the fairies. Prilla was a bit nervous but walked over to Danielle and said “Hello! I’m Prilla. What’s your name?”. Danielle smiled at Prilla and said “Danielle. Fly with you Prilla!”. All around you could hear all the fairies give a sigh of relief that this fairy, didn’t act like Prilla and talk like a clumsy. Prilla’s face looked a bit sad for a moment but quickly turned back into happiness. The next fairies to come up to Danielle were Rani and Tink. Rani was crying very hard, but she couldn’t help it, she was a Water-Talent fairy after all. Tink had a good feeling that this fairy was a real fairy and wouldn’t try her patience like Prilla had done when she first arrived. Tink said “So what’s your…?”
“Talent Danielle?” Rani finished for Tink. Danielle chuckled a little. Then quickly realized she had no idea! Danielle got quiet and a frown fell across her face as she looked down with embarrassment. Tink started pulling at her bangs with annoyances by Danielle not replying. Danielle knew what a talent was but she didn’t know what hers was! Prilla knew Tink was getting annoyed so she tried to change the topic. “I hope your trip here was good Danielle” said Prilla. But Tink didn’t want to change the topic so before Danielle could answer Tink said in a louder annoyed tone “What’s your talent Danielle!?”. Danielle jumped a little bit in surprise then said “I-I’m not really sure.” Prilla looked at Danielle with sympathy because she knew how it felt to not know your talent. Danielle knew two things for sure and they were: What a talent is and that she had one. But there were also two things Danielle didn’t know for sure and they were: what her talent was. And how she was going to find it. Just then Vidia who had been watching not far away flew up and said “Prilla darling, you better take care of this poor incomplete one. She’s like you were.” Danielle felt her heart sink and all she could think was “I’m incomplete?” “Vidia!” said Prilla, Rani and Tink all at once sticking up for Danielle. It wasn’t Danielle’s fault she didn’t know her talent yet. Prilla went over to Danielle to comfort her. She smiled at Danielle and said “Would you like to meet Mother Dove? I’d be happy to take you.” Danielle smiled at Prilla and nodded. As the two flew off Prilla explained about Vidia and showed Danielle everything all around Pixie Hollow. Danielle was happy Prilla was showing her around, Prilla seemed like she would make a wonderful friend! But Danielle couldn’t seem to forget the mean words Vidia had said. Danielle hoped Mother Dove knew what her talent was, and that she wasn’t ‘incomplete’ like Vidia had said. Prilla and Danielle finally reached Mother Dove’s nest and Danielle was so happy she couldn’t believe it! Mother Dove knew Prilla and Danielle were near of course. And Prilla loved seeing Mother Dove. “Hello Mother Dove! This is Danielle! She’s new! Just arrived!” said Prilla to Mother Dove. Prilla pulled on Danielle a little bit and they both flew down to Mother Dove’s nest. “Danielle, my what a pretty name.” Mother Dove cooed. Danielle smiled happy to know Mother Dove liked her. “My, my, you’ve got a very rare talent indeed!” said Mother Dove. Danielle was so happy to know that she did have a talent and that she wasn’t incomplete like Vidia had said. Prilla was happy too. Prilla turned a cartwheel in the air. When Prilla was done she asked “what is her talent Mother Dove!? Is she a Mainland-Visiting clapping-talent like me!?” Prilla hoped with all her heart that she was! Mother Dove looked at Prilla and then at Danielle. “She could be Prilla. But Danielle is a different kind of fairy, she has a very special talent.” cooed Mother Dove. Prilla was so hoping Danielle would be a Mainland-visiting clapping-talent like she was. Prilla let out a sigh of sadness. Danielle didn’t really understand why Prilla was sad now, Mother Dove had said she ‘might’ be. Danielle found her voice and spoke. “W-what is my talent Mother Dove?” said Danielle in an uneasy voice. Mother Dove crocked her head and looked at Danielle. “You will know soon enough.” Said Mother Dove. “What does that mean Mother Dove?” said Prilla in a calm wondering voice. “It means Prilla, that she has to find it for herself.” Mother Dove told Prilla. Danielle was a bit confused herself, well okay very confused! “Um, Mother Dove?” Danielle said in a small voice hoping Mother Dove wouldn’t hear her. But she did. “Yes Danielle?” cooed Mother Dove. It was to late now, Danielle had to think of something fast! “W-will I find my talent soon?” asked Danielle with a quiver in her voice. “I believe you will” said Mother Dove with a smile. Beck an Animal-Talent fairy who took care of Mother Dove, asked “Could she be an Animal-Talent Mother Dove?” Mother Dove looked at Danielle with a smile. “It’s possible Beck.” Said Mother Dove. Beck smiled at Danielle. “You wanna give it a try and see if you’re an animal-talent?” asked Beck. Danielle looked at Prilla who was frowning a bit of a sad frown at Beck. Danielle kind of hoped she wasn’t an animal-talent fairy, and that she had the same talent as Prilla so Prilla would be happy. But Danielle nodded at Beck just the same. Beck smiled even bigger. Beck called to one of her animal friends and flew down with Danielle following right behind. Beck stroked the animals head for a minute then turned to Danielle. “Do you feel anything Danielle?” asked Beck. Danielle smiled at the little animal. Danielle thought to for a moment thinking. “Hmm, I do like animals!” she thought realizing this. She looked up at Beck. “I do like animals!” Danielle announced to Beck. Beck flew up to Mother Dove as fast as she could. “She’s an animal-talent fairy Mother Dove!” Beck said happily. Danielle soon joined them again and looked at Prilla. Prilla’s head was down and she had the saddest face Danielle could have ever thought possible. Danielle was about to speak when Mother Dove cooed “I think there is more to her then that Beck.” Beck looked at Mother Dove with a strange face possibly saying “What do you mean Mother Dove? How can there be more to it?” Danielle looked at Prilla once again and to her surprise, Prilla was smiling! Danielle was happy that Prilla was smiling again. Then all of a sudden Danielle turned an air cartwheel. Prilla’s face lit up with joy! Mother Dove looked at Beck with a look possibly saying “See? There is much more to this fairy then there has ever been in Pixie Hollow!” Danielle’s tummy growled and moaned at her. Mother Dove looked at Danielle and Prilla then said “Prilla since it’s already past lunch why don’t you take Danielle to the kitchen at the Home Tree and see if Dulcie will make her something to eat?” Prilla was more than happy to. The two flew off waving to Mother Dove and Beck heading back to the Home Tree where Prilla took Danielle into the tearoom and then into the kitchen where they met Dulcie a Baking-Talent fairy. Danielle thought the kitchen smelled wonderful! She took a deep breathe to inhale all the wonderful smells. Dulcie waved to them. “Hello Dulcie, this is Danielle. She’s just arrived in Pixie Hollow!” said Prilla with a smile. “Fly with you Danielle! I’m Dulcie.” Dulcie smiled. Danielle smiled then said “Fly with you Dulcie! Everything smells so wonderful in here!” “Thank you.” Said Dulcie. “Danielle is very hungry Dulcie, do you think you could make her something to eat?” asked Prilla. “Of Course! We’re just now pulling some Blueberry muffins out of the oven.” Dulcie said happily. Dulcie took the tray of freshly made blueberry muffins over to Danielle and Prilla. Prilla picked one up and took a bite. Danielle did the same. “mmm-mmm!” said Danielle happily munching the first food she ever had. Daniellehad 7 blueberry muffins before she was full. Her and Prilla had some sparkling red Never Berry juice before thanking Dulcie and leaving. “I’m sorry to leave you Danielle, but I have to blink over to the Mainland for a little while.” Said Prilla. “Okay Prilla. Thank you so much for everything!” Danielle said to Prilla. “I think I’ll go out looking for my talent if it’s okay?” Danielle asked Prilla. “Sure it is! Have fun!” said Prilla before waving good-bye. After Prilla left Danielle started flying around hoping to find something else that interested her. She came to Heavendish Stream where she saw Rani the Water-Talent she had met when she first arrived. So Danielle flew down to see Rani making designs in the water. Rani smiled when she saw Danielle. “Hi Danielle!” said Rani. Danielle smiled too. “Hi.” Danielle replied. “Have you found your talent yet!?” asked Rani excitedly. “Maybe, I’m not quite sure. I might be an animal-talent fairy Beck says.” Said Danielle. “would you like to see if you’re a Water-Talent fairy?” asked Rani. “Oh yes please!” said Danielle excited. Rani put her hand into the Stream and pulled out a perfect ball of water. Danielle watched happily at how amazing it was. While Rani through the ball up and down in the air all the while Danielle couldn’t help thinking “Oh I hope I’m a Water-Talent.” Rani then caught the ball and held it out for Danielle to try and hold. Danielle was a little nervous but she took the water ball and to her and Rani’s surprise she was able to hold it just like Rani! “You’re a Water-Talent Danielle!” said Rani with excitement. “Only water-talents can hold water like this!” she continued. “A new water-talent! Oh I’m so excited!” “But, Beck said I was an animal-talent fairy?” Danielle said in confusion. But then Danielle remembered what Mother Dove had said “you’ve got a very rare talent indeed!” Danielle had no idea what Mother Dove had meant by that. “Hmm, maybe she meant I get to pick my talent and that it didn’t just come to me.” Danielle thought with a smile. “Well, maybe Beck made a mistake? Because you’re a water-talent for sure!” said Rani smiling. Just then a fairy spattered with paint Danielle hadn’t seen before flew over to Rani. “Hi Bess.” Said Rani to the paint spattered fairy. “Hi Rani. I need dewdrops if you have any extras?” said the paint spattered fairy. “Oh sure Bess!” Rani gave the fairy a nutshell full of dewdrops. “Here you are Bess.” Said Rani with a smile. “Oh Bess, this is Danielle. She’s just arrived in Pixie Hollow!” Rani told Bess. Bess was the most talented Art-Talent fairy in all of Fairy Heaven. “Fly with you Danielle.” Said Bess smiling. Danielle smiled too and said “Fly with you Bess.” “What’s your talent Danielle?” asked Bess. Danielle was starting to not like that question very much but she answered anyways. “I’m not quite sure yet, Beck says I’m an animal-talent fairy. But Rani says I’m a water-talent. It’s a little confusing.” Danielle admitted. “Hmm, well would you like to see if you’re an Art-Talent fairy?” asked Bess. Danielle smiled. “Sure! I’d love too!” said Danielle. “Okay. Let’s go then!” said Bess taking off into the air. “Fly with you later Rani. Thanks for showing me Water-Talenting.” Said Danielle trying to catch up with Bess. Bess took Danielle to her Art-studio and showed Danielle the painting she had been working on before she ran out of dewdrops for mixing paint. Danielle’s eyes got very big with amazement! Bess had painted the prettiest field of wild flowers Danielle could have ever imagined! “It’s the prettiest thing I’ve ever seen Bess!” said Danielle winded. Bess smiled proud of her Artwork. Then Bess gave Danielle a canvas, a paintbrush and some paint. “Here, make something pretty!” said Bess smiling. Danielle started to work painting. At first she wasn’t sure what to paint but then it came to her and she started painting a picture of Prilla, Rani, Beck and Bess doing their talents. She painted Prilla on the Mainland playing with clumsy children, Rani bouncing a ball of water, Beck with her animal friends and Bess painting. “My goodness this is fun!” thought Danielle. Danielle knew that she loved painting from then on. She put the paintbrush down and showed Bess what she had painted. Bess was amazed! She could hardly believe that Danielle had painted that, and on her first try too! “You’re an Art-Talent fairy Danielle! No doubt about it!” Bess said. Danielle was very confused by this time. “Beck says I’m an animal-talent fairy, Rani says I’m a water-talent fairy and now Bess says I’m an art-talent fairy? Oh how much more confusing could things get!?” thought Danielle. “Thanks Bess! I had a great time painting with you! But I think I’m going to go look around in Pixie Hollow some more, maybe try and find Prilla.” Said Danielle with a smile when she though of her friend Prilla. “Okay. Fly with you later!” said Bess. “Fly with you later” Danielle replied as she flew off. Danielle started flying all over the place looking at all the sites and hearing all the sound, hoping that while doing so she might find Prilla. A little while later Danielle spotted Prilla sitting up against a rock by some pretty blue flowers. Danielle flew down and hoped Prilla would come back to Pixie Hollow to see her. Danielle settled herself on the ground comfortably next to Prilla and waited. Prilla was with a clumsy girl at a flower patch in a park. Prilla had gotten stuck in one of the flowers and the clumsy girl was trying to pull her out. Danielle closed her eyes for a minute of rest, but before she knew it, she had blinked strait over to the mainland! She was in a clumsy candy store with a clumsy girl looking at all the yummy looking candy. But just then she shot over to somewhere else! She was in a flower patch in a park. She saw a clumsy girl sitting there and then, right there she saw Prilla! Prilla was stuck in a flower! Danielle knew she had to help her friend so she went over and started trying to help the clumsy girl pull Prilla out of the flower. And on the next pull Danielle and the clumsy girl had popped Prilla out of the flower and she was free. Prilla was shocked to see Danielle there that she got snapped back to Pixie Hollow! Prilla opened her eyes and so did Danielle they were both a little surprised. “How did you get to the Mainland!?” Prilla asked in shock. “I don’t know! I was looking for you here and then when I found you I saw that you must have been on the Mainland so I sat next to you, closed my eyes for a minute to rest and before I knew it, I was on the Mainland!” Danielle told Prilla. Prilla couldn’t have been more thrilled! She did 3 cartwheels and a somersault then hugged Danielle tightly! “Do you know what this mean!?” asked Prilla bursting with joy. “W-what?” Danielle asked a little scared of what the answer might be. “It means you’re a Mainland-visiting clapping-talent like me!” said Prilla in one big whoosh. Danielle couldn’t believe it! another talent someone thought she was? Danielle went over it in her head. “Beck says I’m an animal-talent, Rani says I’m a water-talent, Bess says I’m an art-talent and now Prilla says I’m a Mainland-visiting clapping-talent!? Goodness me! How could I possibly be good at that many things!?” Danielle wondered. Prilla and Danielle started flying back to the Home Tree for dinner and while they were flying, they ran into Fira a Light-Talent fairy. “Hi Prilla.” Said Fira. “Hi Fira.” Said Prilla. “This is Danielle! She’s just arrived in Pixie Hollow!” Prilla told Fira. Danielle awaited the question she really disliked. “Fly with you Danielle! I’m Fira.” “Fly with you Fira.” Replied Danielle. “What’s your talent Danielle?” asked Fira. And there it was, the question Danielle hated to answer! “I’m not quite sure yet. Beck says I’m an animal-talent, Rani says I’m a water-talent, Bess says I’m an art-talent and Prilla says I’m a Mainland-visiting clapping-talent.” Danielle said in one long breath. Prilla was shocked! She had no idea Danielle had tried out so many talents and that every fairy she tried them out with said it was her talent! Fira was a bit shocked herself. “Well, how would you like to try being a Light-Talent after dinner?” asked Fira. Danielle was sure she didn’t because if she did Fira might tell her that she was a light-talent! But Danielle said yes anyways and the three of them hurried to dinner. And as they left the tearoom after dinner Prilla and Danielle waved good-bye to each other once again as Danielle went with Fira to try being a light-talent fairy. Fira and Danielle hurried to get the last light of day so that they could light up the Fireflies. Fira grabbed some light from her leaf basket, through it up in the air and lit several fireflies. Next it was Danielle’s turn. Danielle hoped with all her heart that Fira wouldn’t tell her she was a light-talent fairy. Danielle closed her eyes, put her hand into the basket, closed her hand and through the light (if she had gotten any light) up into the air. She didn’t want to open her eyes just yet, until Fira let out a sigh of happiness. Danielle opened her eyes and saw that more fireflies had been lit! Fira looked at Danielle with a smile. “I knew it! I just knew it! You’re a light-talent fairy!” announced Fira. Danielle’s face dropped, she couldn’t believe it! Another talent someone says is hers? “Beck says I’m an animal-talent, Rani says I’m a water-talent, Bess says I’m an art-talent, Prilla says I’m a Mainland-visiting clapping-talent and now Fira says I’m a light-talent!? Oh I’m not sure how much more of this I can take!” Danielle thought to herself. After Fira’s lesson on being a light-talent, Danielle was finally able to go back to the Home Tree and find her room. She went to the brass directory and found her name. Danielle ……………… Room 7P, NNW Branch. The dots are where her talent listing should be. Danielle flew up past the first, seconded, thread, fourth, fifth and sixth floor till she got to the seventh. She followed the sighs and finally made it to her room. She was very happy because it was right next to Prilla’s. Danielle was too tired to stop by and say hi to Prilla though so she went into her room and didn’t even bother looking around, she fell flat on her bed and was quickly asleep. The next morning Danielle woke up and looked around her room. The walls were light baby blue. The floor was mosey and very comfortable to walk on. Her bed posts were made out of thick hard daisy stalks and her bedding was made out of soft purple flower petals. “Oh! Everything is so pretty!” thought Danielle. Danielle then walked over to her closet and pulled out a few pretty outfits to try on. First she pulled out a Sea blue dress with tiny pearls and sea green shoes that went perfectly with it. Then there was a pink petal dress with a rose petal sash and pink petal shoes to on along with it. She also found a grass blade green top and skirt with a bit darker green leaf sash and shoes. She pulled out a bright yellow dress that sparkled like fairy dust and shoes that were just as sparkly. The last one she pulled out was an orange and brown wrap dress with leaf wrap boots. “Oh my! There all so pretty!” said Danielle thinking out loud. She decided to put on the plainest one in her closet. It was a blueberry blue knee length dress with a brown pouch for a sash and a pair of blueberry blue petal shoes. She then stepped out of her room and made her way down to the tearoom for breakfast. She spotted Prilla sitting at the water talent table with Rani. Danielle started to walk over when Bess graded her arm and told her to sit with her and the other art-talent fairies. Prilla looked over and saw Danielle was motioned for her to come over and sit with her and Rani. Danielle really wanted to but Bess was her friend too. Just then she saw Fira waving to her from the light-talent table. Beck also wanted Danielle to sit at the animal-talent table. Danielle couldn’t take it anymore. She flew right out of the tearoom and didn’t stop till she got to Mother Dove’s hawthorn tree. Danielle had tears in her eyes as she approached Mother Dove. “Oh! Danielle what’s the matter?” asked Mother Dove. “It’s so hard Mother Dove! I don’t understand! First Beck, then Rani, Bess, Prilla and Fira, they all think I have their talent! I don’t understand Mother Dove? How can I be good at all their talents!?” asked Danielle crying. “Oh sweet child, have no worry. I knew you might have a problem with your talent’s.” cooed Mother Dove lovingly. “Talents?” asked Danielle a bit surprised. “Yes dear child. You have more then one talent.” Cooed Mother Dove. Danielle was shocked! “Why hadn’t Mother Dove told me this before?” Danielle wondered. “So, I have all the talents I tried?” Danielle asked Mother Dove. “Yes. You have one more talent though child.” Said Mother Dove. Danielle couldn’t believe it! “So, what is my talent called?” Danielle asked in confusion. “You’re talent isn’t just one talent, it’s many. You’re an Animal-Talent, Water-Talent, Art-Talent, Mainland-visiting clapping-Talent, Light-Talent Garden-Talent and you also have a talent all your own, like Prilla.” Mother Dove cooed happily. Danielle couldn’t believe any of this! She was so shocked she could hardly speak. “B-but, h-how do I have so many talents!? And what’s my own talent!?” Danielle wondered with excitement. “You bring life and love to everything to touch. You have a big heart Danielle, but aren’t afraid to stand up for yourself and others.” Said Mother Dove continuing. “Along with your other talents, your one true talent is being a,
Love-Life-Laughter and Heart-Talent Fairy.” Mother Dove cooed lovingly. Danielle couldn’t move and she almost fell right out of the air! Danielle had a talent all her own, just like Prilla! Danielle hugged Mother Dove. “Thank you Mother Dove!” said Danielle flying as fast as she could to tell her friends. Danielle crashed right into Prilla who was flying just as fast as Danielle was. “Prilla! I have a talent all my own just like you!” said Danielle faster then she had ever said anything before. Prilla’s face was surprised. Danielle then remembered her other talents and made sure she told Prilla she was a Mainland-visiting clapping-talent too. Prilla’s face lit up and she hugged her friend lovingly with excitement. Danielle thought she might be the happiest fairy in all of Fairy Heaven.
The End
