Once there lived seven fairies in Pixie Hollow who were the best of friends. Ella, an animal fairy, was kind and compassionate, always helping her friends. Whirl, a fast-flying fairy, was very adventurous. She was the leader of the group, and she often got them into trouble without meaning to. Guppy, a water fairy, was fiercely competitive, but she was also very sensitive. Lucinda, a light fairy, loved beauty and was always trying to get more sparkly jewelry. Hanna, a kitchen fairy, was always eating something, and she would offer her friends whatever she cooked up. Clink, a tinker fairy, was a bit cautious, and she didn't like breaking rules or doing things that were dangerous. Flora, a garden fairy, was the kindest, and she always gave her flowers to her friends. They loved having adventures together.
One fine day, Whirl, with her light reddish brown hair and her grey eyes shining, suggested that they go to Queen Clarion's quarters. The thin, short fast-flying fairy was very excited. Her pale skin seemed to shine in the sun. Her large, pointed wings were fluttering excitedly.
Guppy, who had been making miniature fountains, stopped. Her bright blue eyes were wide, and her long brown hair was blowing in the breeze. She was quite tall and thin, and her face was freckled. Her skin was tanned. She had small wings, and they were moving back and forth slowly. She asked Whirl why they should go.
Whirl looked at her friends and said that they should go to Flora's garden to talk. Flora's already-narrow brown eyes grew even narrower. Her curly blonde hair was shimmering with pixie dust, and her small wings were fluttering slowly. She had fair skin, and was a bit chubby. She was a bit short, even for a fairy. Flora asked Whirl what was going on.
Whirl told her that she would see when they got there. Hanna, with her honey-colored skin and light brown eyes, asked if she should bring some muffins she had just baked. She was about average in height, and was a bit rounded. Her frizzy black hair was up in a high ponytail, and her average-sized wings were fluttering.
Clink, who had light skin, dark brown eyes, and short black hair she kept in a ponytail, crossed her arms. She was tall in stature and had thin frame, with very tiny wings. She was very suspicious as she asked Whirl what exactly was going on.
Lucinda, who had olive-colored skin and dirty blonde hair smiled. Her bright green eyes sparkled. She was very thin, but had wide hips. Her wings were quite large, and they were fluttering. Her hair, which was very curly and in a ponytail, bounced. She told her friends that it would be a good idea to go to Flora's garden.
Ella, with her blue eyes sparkling, laughed. She had bigger wings and was a bit chubby, and also quite tall for a fairy. She had long black hair in two braids on either side of her head. Her skin was the color of coffee, and she was smiling. She said that Lucinda just wanted to admire the pretty flowers, but that it was a good idea to go to Flora's garden.
Clink put her hands on her hips and refused to go.
Whirl said that she had something a scribe fairy had given her that morning, and that she needed to show it to her friends.
Clink groaned and said that she would go to the garden but not anywhere else.
Whirl smiled, and the seven fairies flew off in the direction of Flora's garden.
