Iridessa lived in an enchanted world, but even to her, the scene was like magic. She’d never seen so many fireflies glowing so brightly. For just one moment, Iridessa forgot about her plan and her schedule. She didn’t even think of trying to herd all the fireflies. Instead, she flew up next to Gabby. Together, they laughed and danced as the fireflies swirled around them.

Then, all at once, the lights winked out.

“What happened?” Gabby asked.

“Something scared them off,” Iridessa replied, looking around.

CRRACK! There came a clap of thunder so loud Iridessa felt it in her bones. The sky opened up, and rain poured down. It came so hard and fast that it washed Iridessa right out of the air.

The fairy landed hard on the muddy ground. She tried to stand and run for shelter. But before she could, a rivulet of water picked her up and swept her away.

Iridessa bounced over the ground, carried by the water. She grabbed at roots and blades of grass, trying to hold on. But the water tore her off. It swept up everything in its path. Leaves and sticks slammed against her. The forest spun above her. She was going to drown!

Suddenly, a hand grabbed her roughly and lifted her into the air. Iridessa found herself looking into a pair of wide brown eyes.

“Gabby!” Iridessa was so relieved she could have cried.

“Are you okay?” the girl asked.

Iridessa nodded. She was muddy and bruised. Her wings were too wet to fly. But she wasn’t badly hurt.

Cradling Iridessa in her hands, Gabby ducked under a giant fern. They waited out the storm. It didn’t last long. Almost as quickly as it had come, the rain cleared up.

Iridessa fanned her wet wings, trying to dry them. “We’d better go back to Pixie Hollow before we get caught in another storm,” she told Gabby. “You’ll have to carry me for now. I can’t fly with wet wings.”

“Okay,” said Gabby. “Which way do we go?”

“This way.” Iridessa pointed into the trees. “No … that doesn’t look right. Is it this way?” She spun in a circle. But each way she turned, the trees looked the same.

With a sinking feeling, Iridessa realized they were lost.
