Tinkerberry and the other fairies were in the cupboard, resting. Just then, Rachel opened the door!

"Hey, Tinkerberry! We're going to go to the Farm today!" she said. She pulled Tinkerberry out.

"I'm going to put you in my pocket so nobody sees you," said Rachel.

Tinkerberry sighed. Rachel put her in the pocket and patted it. "Stay safe," she said.

Tinkerberry felt Rachel walking. She stayed silent for a long while. Then Rachel pulled her out.

"It's safe," said Rachel.

Tinkerberry jingled merrily as she flew around, happy to be in the sunlight. Then she sat on Rachel's hand as Rachel walked.

"So, I was thinking, you could build a fairy camp for you and the other fairies, just something for you girls so you wouldn't have to live in the cupboard all the time," Rachel said.

Tinkerberry beamed. "That would be a great idea!" she jingled.

Rachel had reached a rock that was right next to a fence. A spiderweb was across the opening.

"Oh, dear, we'll have to go the other way," said Rachel. She walked around the rock. "Tinkerberry, you'll have to sit here while I climb over."

Tinkerberry flew over to the spot and sat down. Rachel climbed over the rock, then held out her hand for Tinkerberry to land on.

Rachel walked down a little hill to another big rock. There was a door made out of bamboo that was open. The girl walked in.

"This is where a fort used to be," Rachel said.

It was a nice little place, though full of spiderwebs. The rock formed a wall of the fort, and the other wall was a chain-link fence. The back wall was made of concrete. Over top, there was a roof made of plastic. Part of it was on top of the rock, and it went across to the fence.

Tinkerberry flew around, examining the fort. She then flew back to Rachel.

"There's another place we can look," said Rachel, "if this doesn't seem like a good place."

Tinkerberry smiled. Rachel took her up to some other rocks. Tinkerberry looked, but she didn't see anywhere to build anything.

Tinkerberry flew back to Rachel. "This doesn't look like a good place," said the fairy while shaking her head.

"No?" Rachel said, seeing the fairy shake her head. "Well, too many people come around here anyways."

The two friends went down to the fort. Tinkerberry fluttered around and sat down on a small mossy stone. She smiled.

"This would make a good chair, wouldn't it?" asked Rachel, who had been watching.

Tinkerberry nodded. Then she flew to the fence.

"Please don't go out there," said Rachel. "It isn't safe."

Tinkerberry nodded absentmindedly. She fluttered over to a little ledge in the rock. She looked around. There weren't any spiderwebs, so she decided it would make a great place for a bed!

Tinkerberry flew over to Rachel, jingling. But Rachel didn't understand, so she grabbed a stick.

"Stick..." Rachel said.

Tinkerberry wrote an L in the ground.

"L," said Rachel.

Tinkerberry wrote an E next to the L.

"E..." Rachel said.

The fairy wrote an A next to the E.

"A..." said Rachel.

Tinkerberry wrote an F next to the A.

"F," Rachel said. "L-E-A-F. Leaf! You need a leaf!"

Tinkerberry nodded happily.

Rachel and Tinkerberry went out of the fort. Tinkerberry looked around, then picked up a fuzzy leaf. She flew back into the fort and put it on the spot she'd picked out. Then she laid down on it.

"Oh, is that where you're going to make your bed?" asked Rachel.

Tinkerberry nodded. She flew out of the fort again, and Rachel followed. The small tinker fluttered down to the ground and looked for a leaf. She felt each leaf that she saw. This one was too rough, and this one was too thin. She picked up another fuzzy leaf and nodded once. Then she flew back into the fort. She laid down on the bed she'd made and put the leaf over her as a cover.

Rachel smiled.

Tinkerberry flew to the floor of the fort. There was a brick and a bamboo log sitting on the floor, and Tinkerberry looked inside the bamboo log.

"What's in there?" wondered Rachel.

"Lots of spiderwebs," Tinkerberry jingled.

Rachel said, "I hope it's good, whatever it is." She bent down to look. "Just spiderwebs," she said.

Tinkerberry looked inside the brick. There were six holes in it, and each one might make a good bed for a fairy.

Then, the tinker fairy picked a stick up from the ground. The gears turned in her mind as she placed sticks around her bed to keep her from rolling off. It soon looked very pretty.

Rachel said, "I'm going to go out of here for a little bit. Can you stay here?"

Tinkerberry nodded. Rachel walked out of the fort. After she had rounded the corner, she called, "Tinkerberry, you okay?"

She heard a faint jingle. "I hope she is," Rachel said.

Tinkerberry flew around the fort, looking for nice places for each of her friends. She was soon tired of flying around and went back to her bed. She slept for a few minutes, then sat up.

Rachel walked to the rock next to the fence. She took a stick and got rid of the spiderweb, then went into the fort. Tinkerberry was right there.

"Hi, Trinity!" Rachel called. "Where do you want to make the camp for you and your friends?"

Tinkerberry flew to the log. She jingled.

"There?" asked Rachel.

Tinkerberry flew to the brick and pointed to it. Then she flew to her bed, then to the concrete wall where the mossy rock was.

"You want to make the camp in the whole fort?" asked Rachel.

Tinkerberry nodded.

Rachel looked around, taking in the whole fort. Yes, this was a great place for all the fairies!

Tinkerberry flew out to a bamboo log in a tree. She flew up and looked into it. It was empty.

"What's in there?" wondered Rachel. She hopped until she saw it. "Oh, just empty. Maybe one of your friends would like a bed in there," she said.

Tinkerberry jingled and flew to the top of the rock. Rachel climbed up. Tinkerberry looked through a little hole in the roof to the fort below. She flew down through the hole. Rachel climbed down the rock and went in the fort. "Tinkerberry?"

Tinkerberry flew up to Rachel. The fairy had been sitting on the ground. Then she flew over to the chain-link fence.

"Why is it dangerous out there?" she asked.

There was a gate, and Tinkerberry pointed to it.

"Yep, that padlock is locked," observed Rachel.

Tinkerberry shook her head. She pointed outside of the gate. It was beautiful out there, with a small waterfall falling into a pond. There was lots of grass and plants growing.

"Yes, it is beautiful," sighed Rachel. "But we shouldn't go out there. Out there, anyone can go and find you, but in here, almost nobody comes."

Tinkerberry nodded.

"Besides, that pond is pretty deep," Rachel said. "I wouldn't want one of you fairies to drown."

Tinkerberry shivered. Drowning was every fairy's fear.

Rachel walked away from the fence, but Tinkerberry looked a little longer. Suddenly, a fairy peeked out from behind the grass outside of the fence. Tinkerberry waved, and the fairy waved back. Tinkerberry realized that the fairy camp must be located there! She decided that she would go out there sometime and see the camp. Rachel couldn't tell her what to do, anyway.

Rachel held out her hand for Tinkerberry. The fairy flew over and sat down. Then she looked over at the small mossy stone. She sat down on it and brought some sticks over. Then, she got a great idea. She laid down on the stone. It would make a perfect bed for one of her friends!

Tinkerberry laid the sticks next to the stone. She began to get excited. "I just need some more sticks, and some leaves!" she said. "I could make a canopy over this bed, and it would be great!"

Tinkerberry was fluttering all around the stone, making hand motions of what she was going to do. Rachel laughed. "I'm sure you have a great idea!" Then she frowned. "But it's getting late. We'll have to come back tomorrow, or maybe the next day."

Tinkerberry frowned and flew over to Rachel, but then she brightened up. She could tell her friends about the fort!

Rachel put the fairy in her pocket and began to walk. Tinkerberry was in there for a while. Then, Rachel opened her pocket. "It's safe," she whispered. Tinkerberry flew out of the pocket. She was back in Rachel's room. Rachel opened the cupboard. Tinkerberry flew in, and Rachel shut the door. Tinkerberry turned on the flashlight and told her friends all what had happened.
