The bird was so surprised that he bumped into the bird ahead of him. That bird bumped into the bird ahead of her. And that bird bumped into…Well, you get the picture. Pretty soon, the whole formation had fallen apart.

The flock leader noticed the problem and led them downward. Beck followed, determined to stay with the flock.

The birds settled in the treetops, chattering and curious. What had happened? What had gone wrong? Why were they stopping?

One by one, the birds began to notice Beck. And when they did, they fell silent. After a few moments, every single bird in the flock was staring at her.

The flock leader flew over and eyed her. His cheeping was curt and clear. “You’re a fairy, aren’t you?”

Beck nodded. “That’s right.”

“What are you doing this far from Pixie Hollow?”

“I want to travel. I want to go exploring with you,” Beck said.

“What fun!” the bird to Beck’s left chirped. “You can be our mascot. We’ll be the only flock of Explorer Birds with a fairy. The others will be so jealous.”

“Wait, not so fast,” clucked another. “This sounds like trouble to me. She’s already ruined one flight pattern. How do we know she won’t do it all the time?”

The birds broke into excited chatter. Some wanted to keep her. But lots of others were worried. “What if she can’t learn the flock formations?” “What if she can’t find her own food?” “What if she can’t keep up?”

Flying so far so fast had given Beck enough confidence to speak up. “I didn’t spoil your flight pattern. He did.” She pointed to the bird who had been beside her. “That’s because he was surprised to see me. But it won’t happen again. I’ve been flying with you for a while and you never even noticed. I think I’ve proven that I can keep up.”

The flock leader cocked his head, and his eye gleamed. “You have a point. But you can’t blame us for not wanting to take a chance. Today was just ordinary flying. Nothing fancy. But the skies are full of hawks, headwinds, and hail. We have to use some different tricks to survive sometimes. How do we know you can do it?”

“Try me,” Beck challenged.

The flock leader nodded. “Very well. Follow me.” He shot into the air so fast, all Beck saw was a streak of blue and yellow. Within seconds, he was yards above her.

Beck reached into the sack and sprinkled her wings with the extra-powerful fairy dust.

Varooom! Beck’s wings beat the air so hard they made a whipping sound behind her. She trailed the flock leader for a few seconds, checking the wind. Then she lowered her head and poured on the speed. The gap between the flock leader and Beck narrowed until she was flying steadily by his left wing.

The flock leader moved sharply to the right. Beck hadn’t seen it coming. She turned to catch up. But he had already changed course again.

Beck gritted her teeth and zoomed. Once again, she centered herself by his left wing.
