The next day, Lila said to Ada, "We are going to do something special today."
Ada sat up in her bed. Her night dress was a bit rumpled, and she stood up and smoothed it out. Then she changed into her day clothes. It was much easier for her to do than it had been the first time, as she'd had practice putting her wings through the slits and attaching the Velcro. She opened her mouth and made jingling sounds.
"Today, I'm going to fly," Lila said.
Ada looked at Lila with a confused face. She made jingling bell sounds and pointed to her wings.
"I don't need wings to fly," Lila said. "All I need is pixie dust."
Ada flew out of the dollhouse, still looking very confused. Lila instructed Ada to fly around her in circles. Ada did so, and soon Lila was covered in pixie dust.
Lila put her legs together and her arms at her sides. She remembered all about how to fly from her favorite movies and books. She flew around the room happily.
Flying was different than she had imagined it to be. The air whipped past her face, and it was really quite effortless. She flew up and down, smiling from ear to ear. Ada looked very surprised, and she flew to Lila. She sat on Lila's back as they flew around the room.
Lila landed near her door and opened it. Then she flew out, with Ada following her. Her mother was very surprised when she saw her daughter flying.
"How did you do that?" asked Lila's mother.
"With Ada," replied Lila.
Isaac, who was in his mother's arms, reached up to his sister and giggled.
Lila flew around the house happily, and Ada followed her. After a half hour, Lila could feel the pixie dust getting low. She quickly flew back to her room and landed before she was all out of dust.
Ada flew into the room and landed on Lila's hand. She was laughing bell-like sounds, and she looked very happy.
