Lila's mother had to go out of the room, for Isaac had awoken. Lila smiled at Ada. "Do you like my mother?" asked Lila.
Ada nodded and made jingling bell sounds.
Lila smiled. "Good," she replied.
Ada's wings had finally dried, and she could hold them up. She fluttered them, and then she flew out of her house and onto Lila's hand.
Lila smiled. "There, that's better," she said. "Now your wings work again."
Soon, Lila's mother called her for the meal.
"Now that my mother knows about you," Lila said, "you can eat with us." Ada looked excited and flew around the room. Lila laughed and picked up the doll table and a doll chair. Then she brought them out of the room. Ada followed Lila to the big dinner table.
"Lila, what are you doing?" Lila's mother asked.
"Ada needs to eat," said Lila. "I figured that since you know about her, it would be okay for her to eat out here with us."
"Well, I guess it would be alright," said her mother. Lila smiled and set the doll table and chair on top of the big table. Ada sat down in the small chair.
Lila saw what they were having that evening, pork and beans. She asked, "Is it okay if I get some salad?"
"I thought you didn't like salad," said her mother.
"It's for Ada," explained Lila. "She can't eat meat."
"Well, okay," said her mother. Lila went to the kitchen and got some salad. Then she returned to the table and gave the salad to Ada.
"I need to go get Isaac," Lila's mother said.
"Okay," said Lila.
Ada looked through the salad. There were carrots, lettuce, and tomatoes. Ada smiled and took a bite of a tomato.
Lila's mother came back with Isaac and put him in a high chair. Ada looked at him, and immediately felt a strong pull. She didn't know why, but she flew over to the baby. Isaac giggled, and Ada felt like she belonged with Isaac.
"Ada," Lila said, "be careful. He likes to grab."
Isaac stretched out a hand and tried to catch Ada. The fairy flew up and over his head. Lila said, "Ada, come back." Ada flew back to Lila and sat down.
"That is Isaac, my brother," explained Lila. "He is the one who laughed you up."
Ada smiled and took a bite of a carrot.
