The fairies, minus Melon, Mayah, and Tinkerberry, were laying in their beds in the cupboard. Suddenly, Rachel opened the door and turned on the flashlight.

"Where's Mayah?" asked Dewdrop.

"Where's Tinkerberry?" Breeze asked.

Frostie Jewel asked, "Where's Melon?"

"Hi, fairies!" Rachel said, not knowing the fairies were asking a question. Then she said, "Cassy, come here!"

Carrie flew out of the cupboard. She looked on the bed, and there was a dog!

"We're going to see Bailey!" Rachel said.

"Bailey?" gasped Cassy incredulously. Rachel walked over to the bed with the sleeping dog. Cassy looked at the dog. Was it really Bailey? The dog was as big as a Labrador, but had the same markings as the little puppy Cassy had met almost a year ago.

"Bailey?" Cassy jingled.

The dog opened its eyes. "Hi, big orange bug. I think I remember you."

Cassy looked into the big brown eyes. They were the same eyes her puppy friend had. Yes, this was indeed Bailey, the same Bailey that had been the puppy she'd met!

"It's me, Cassy," said Cassy. "Remember, the fairy?"

Bailey yawned. "Yes, I think I remember. You didn't like baths."

Cassy nodded, jingling excitedly. Bailey licked her face. Cassy giggled. "It's been such a long time!" She petted the dog.

Bailey got up and walked over to the floor, then laid down. "I'm tired. This is my nap time."

"Aw, that's okay," said Cassy. She landed on Bailey's side and laid on her. "I'm ready to sleep."

Bailey's eyes closed as she fell asleep again.

"Bailey's sleeping," said Rachel. She petted Bailey's stomach. "Good girl," said Rachel.

Cassy fluttered over to Bailey's face. She gave the dog a kiss on the cheek, then on the forehead. Bailey opened her mouth and nibbled on Cassy's fingers.

"Aww, you're cute," said Cassy.

Bailey yawned again. "Can I go to sleep now? Maybe we can play later."

Rachel told Cassy, "You should probably go back in the cupboard. Bailey wants to sleep."

Of course, Rachel hadn't understood the dog speaking. She had only seen Bailey yawn, and she knew the dog wanted to sleep.

"Okay," said Cassy. "Bye, Bailey!"

Bailey looked up. "Bye, fairy." The dog shut her eyes and fell asleep again.

Cassy flew to the cupboard, and Rachel opened it. Cassy flew in and jingled to her friends, and Rachel shut the door.

"Guess what! Remember the puppy Bailey? Well, she's all grown up now!" Cassy said. "She was sleepy today, but she wanted to play later."

Sophie grinned. "Good for you!" She grabbed a ball of light from the flashlight and put it in her bed.

"I wonder where Trinity, May, and Melon are?" said Shimmer. "It's been a day, and we know Rachel's back."

Moss smiled. "I'm sure they're safe. Maybe they went to Pixie Hollow."

The jingling from the cupboard died down, and the fairies started resting again. Elsie was especially tired, as she had stayed up the night before worrying about her three friends.
