Mandy was furious- all the storm fairies could tell. Well, actually anyone could tell. Mini lightning bolts were coming off of her in all directions. These bolts couldn't kill or anything, but they stung like a bee sting times 6. To put her in a better mood, her fellow storm fairies decided to redo the storm in a different area. All of them flew over to the meadow after Lynn arrived to see what had happened (she saw the runaway bolt) and flew Jamie home. Jamie was quiet the whole way there. She may not be able to remember things, but even she could tell that Mandy was angry, and Jamie hated to see her upset. It just wasn't like Mandy- Mandy was usually like this ball of fun energy that never ran out. Once they got to Jamie's front door (after Lynn steered her away from 10 other doors Jamie thought was hers) she turned to Lynn.
"Why is Mandy upset?" She asked. Lynn smiled a sad smile at the description that was nothing compared to the rage Mandy was feeling. No fairy ever failed at their talent, and you did NOT want to be the one who made them mess up. Lynn knew just how irritated she had been before when a painting talent fairy had spilled red paint all over her precious books. But Jamie… she would never be able to understand what that was like, because nobody could ruin her talent. After a few moments of awkward silence for Jamie, Lynn spoke.
"Mandy is upset because you ruined something important to her." Lynn explained as best she could. "You made her mess up the thing that matters most to all of us- our talent." Jamie was horrified. She didn't know that Mandy had messed up. For all Jamie remembered, lightning was supposed to do that. Then again, that wasn't saying much at all. Jamie silently groaned. She knew that she would have to make it up to Mandy or Mandy would never forgive her. She also knew she had to move fast before she forgot it all. She looked at Lynn.
"Lynn, I need to make it up to Mandy." Jamie's voice was stern and commanding. On instinct, Lynn stood up straighter. "What is something that reminds Mandy of her friendship with me?" Lynn smiled.
"The jade plant." She answered without hesitation. She wasn't supposed to know about it, but she had been reading under the tree when they planted it. "It's this way." Lynn and Jamie sped towards the meadow at top speed.
Jamie and Lynn finally arrived at the meadow. They sped over to the Jade plant so fast that the storm fairies- including Mandy- didn't see them. Mandy was just then becoming charged up. Jamie turned to Lynn.
"Here's the plan." She stated. "You wait until it's a good time to approach Mandy. Tell Mandy that I am at the place where our friendship was bound by a promise (Lynn had reminded her of the story along the way) Mandy will come and see me on top of the Jade plant. Then I will apologize and everything will work out!" Lynn nodded at this plan and flew up to wait for her time. Jamie sat herself down on the plant and waited.
At the same time, the storm fairies were right above the meadow and have finished brewing the storm. Thor had done his giant thunder clap (Mandy had covered her ears this time) and Mandy felt the power flow through her. This power joined with the natural lightning that was already flowing through her veins due to her rage. Instantly Mandy knew that this lightning bolt would be more powerful than any she had ever thrown. Only one problem- she didn't see the target. She frantically scanned her eyes over the meadow until at last she spotted what she was aiming at: the Jade plant.
Mandy was shocked at the location- how could the target be there? Yet there it was- brighter than the second star to the right. She couldn't just destroy the symbol of her whole friendship. Then again, it was Jamie's fault she missed the first one. Jamie was the one who didn't remember her birthday. Jamie was the one who didn't keep her promise. Jamie wasn't a friend at all! Why did she keep putting herself through such torture for a friendship that didn't even exist? She was only a fairy trying to find a friend in something that could only be a burden. These thoughts were only encouraged by the angry energy powering her very soul. With that in mind, she pulled back her arm and threw the bolt at the plant that kept her tied to Jamie's broken promises.
Now dear reader, you probably remember (unless you are a lost fairy) that Jamie was currently sitting on this very plant. We can't blame Mandy, for Mandy thought she was only aiming at a plant. Fairies are very small creatures, and a fellow fairy in the sky far away would find it very difficult to spot a fellow fairy- especially when they thought everyone else was eating dinner. So as Jamie was sitting there with a slight smile on her face, the bolt came hurtling at her. Everything was a brilliant white for Jamie- just like it always was for Mandy right when the electricity entered her body. She felt the power flow through her veins. Now she understood why this was so important to Mandy. Yet her veins couldn't contain the power like Mandy's could. Jamie felt her moment of power- before everything went deadly black.
