Okay, in this story, there were meant to be 4 chapters left, titled: Fairy Squad; Sheila's response; Merry Christmas; Epilogue.

But, since I was so cruel to make you wait for who knows how long, I'll post the 4 chapters in pairs. So here you go, with Fairy Squad/Sheila's response!Song lyrics are from Avril Lavigne's Take me away and Together.


„No one could sense things as good as you used to, Shaula" said Wilt.
„I know, I know" answered the fairy, caressing her feelers nervously „but miracles don't happen just like that!"
Though Frankie had already left with the bus and Mac, Bloo and other imaginary friends were out on the streets, finding Eduardo and Coco turned out to be more difficult than it seemed.
„And my wings are still broken" concluded Shaula, sighing deeply.

Meanwhile, Sheila and Shaula 2 were slowly walking towards home.
„What have I done…" whispered the girl.
„It's okay, Sheila."
„No, it's not! Look, can't you sometimes just say what you really think, not only assure me that I'm right?"
„I'm all yours, Sheila."
She sighed heavily. It was all her fault. She was in need of a friend, not a servant, but it was her to change the original Shaula and make this evil copy…
„Wait a second!" suddenly she stopped.
„Sheila, I sense an idea!"
„Come!" and Sheila turned around, pulling Shaula 2 with her towards Foster's home.

Suddenly the doorbell rang. Wilt opened – to see no one else but a girl they all knew well.
„Hey there" said Shaula, who just got down the stairs „who are you?"
Sheila noticed the door left open and entered just ten seconds later. But both Wilt and Shaula were too busy to pay any attention to her.
„Wowafairyarealfairy!NowthatIseeyou… whatifyouwereblondeand…"
Shaula watched in astonishment as a blonde copy of her appeared.
„…andhadamagicwand…"
Another blonde Shaula holding a magic wand showed up.
„…andstraightwingsstraighfeelers…"
„No, no!" Shaula went red „oh dear, Wilt, do something, make her stop!"
„This is awesome!" screamed Sheila, staring at Goo.
„Sheila, get out!" shouted Shaula, making her way between a red-haired fairy with a long white dress and a blue-haired one in a pink swimsuit and sunglasses.
„No, look at them! Shaula, I swear, I'm not here to make trouble!"
„Sheila, really, I…" Shaula pushed apart a 10-feet tall baby-faced purple creature with airplane-like wings „AAARGH! MAKE HER STOP!"
„Why?" Goo winked and turned her head aside „andwhataboutangelwingsand…"
„Stooop!" shouted Sheila the exact moment Wilt managed to make Goo pause for a second.
„Sheila, what do you want?" Shaula stepped in front of a green-skinned pixie with orange hair and dragonfly-like wings.
„Don't you see? I just brought her along to help" she pointed at Shaula 2 „but I see this nice girl has already done it all!"
By then, they could hardly stand between all the fairies filling the foyer.

„Understand?" Shaula, as a captain, walked in front of her copies „now, you know what to do!"
It was truly an breathtaking scene, seeing dozens of fairies taking flight at the same time.
„Thank you SO much!" Shaula embraced Goo happily.
Sheila bowed her head and smiled. She knew she had somehow repaired at least a bit of all the damage she had done. She took Shaula 2's hand and went home.

„Still no sign of them…" Frankie kept on driving, becoming more and more nervous with each second passing „hey, wait a minute! What was that…?"
A fast shadow flew over the bus.
„Shaula…? But no, it cannot be!"

Eduardo was just drying his tears with a tissue coming out of one of Coco's eggs, when a strange flying creature appeared over the narrow dead end they were hiding in.
„Aah! Scary! No kill me!" Eduardo hid behind Coco as it landed. It was a robot with glowing blue eyes, angel-like wings and metallic hair.
„Eduardo and Coco?" she asked.
„Coco coco!"
„Perfect! Stay here!"

WELCOME BACK SHAULA, WILT, COCO AND ED! said the banner hanging over the foyer, as Foster's home was celebrating.

Frankie, who had just finished filing for all the new fairies, clapped her hands smiling. Goo, as the celebrity guest, finally decided not to create more friends for that day, danced with Mac and Bloo. Coco was back to her usual self, only that she lay more eggs than normally, and Ed was simply happy to be back.
Shaula, after those two long weeks of sorrow, sat tiredly in Wilt's arms.
Everything was OK again, and, as for all the other Shaulas, as children really like fairies, it was sure they were going to be adopted in no time.

But, back at the Westlane home, there was still something to be done.

It was December, and Sheila watched sadly the snow falling. Everything was white and cold, and she still couldn't shake off that weird feeling. It attacked her raging each time she saw Terrence at school, though they haven't said a single word to each other since the day she had beaten him up and broken his heart.
It was time to move on, do something, she knew it.

I cannot find a way to describe it
It's there inside, all I do is hide
I wish that it would just go away
What would you do, you do if you knew?
What would you do?

After school, she ran to Terrence, who was silently walking on the street.
„Terrence, wait!" she shouted after him.
He stopped and slowly turned around.
„Terrence!"
Icy silence.
„Terrence, I…"
He suddenly winced and ran away.
Sheila slowly reached out… then her arm fell. It was beyond repair now.
She was lonely, left alone, though some forgotten feelings rose inside her again… She locked her arms around herself and cried silently, her sincere, warm tears falling in the snow, melting it. Terrence. He just kept on appearing in her thoughts all the time.

All the pain I thought I knew
All the thoughts lead back to you
Back to what was never said
Back and forth inside my head
I can't handle this confusion, I'm unable
Come and take me away…

„What's happening to me?" she asked Shaula 2, as she lay on her bed.
„Look, Sheila, I really have no idea… sometimes, we just don't understand what we are feeling."

The next day, Sheila tried once again to speak to Terrence, this time blocking him in a dead end.
„Please, Terrence… listen to me…"
„NO!"
And he escaped once again.
Sheila laid her head agains the wall and cried.

I feel like I, I'm all alone
All by myself, I need to get around this
My words are cold, I don't want them to hurt you
If I showed you, I don't think you'd understand
'Cause no one understands…!

Even herself. She couldn't understand.

There were three days left for the great Christmas party at the school. Then, the holidays…
Something had to be done. And soon.
Sheila was just reaching in her drawer for her Chemistry book when she found a small, tattered piece of paper. As she unfolded it, her eyes filled with tears. It was Terrence's poem.
It was full of mistakes, and had really poor vocabulary as well, but, she noticed only now, it was sweet, and sincere. She needed to answer him.
But first she took out a new, shining white sheet, and rewrote his poem correcting it. Then wrote her own under it.

Sheila my dear

You look as a goddess
You make my heart beat fast
I feel the love inside
When you look into my eyes
It's beautiful you spend time with me
'Cause you're the loveliest girl I see
You and I can be together
That makes me feel so much better
And you're the one of my dreams
Be with me, Sheila my dear!

- with love, Terrence

Forgive me

Your words feel so warm
When I re-read them, on and on
And now I understand what you mean
When you tell me how you feel
I would never, ever hurt you again
Since I lost you, there's nothing but rain
Just tell me, looking into my eyes
What do you think now, I'm not telling lies
And here's all I want to hear:
That, Terrence, you have forgiven me.

- apprensively, Sheila

Not the best rhymes, but who cares?
Sheila folded the paper and put it in her bag.
No, Terrence would never forgive her beating him to a pulp that dark Autumn day. What was in her mind…? Destroying Foster's, using a poor naive boy as a simple „instrument"? Oh, Terrence…

My heart is broken
I'm lying here
My thoughts are choking
On you, my dear…
On you, my dear…
On you, my dear…

Hope it was worth the wait!
