RONAN HELD UP the envelope. “Let’s figure out the first clue before we take off,” he said.

Rani frowned. “I think we should start flying and read the clue on the way,” she suggested.

“I think we should take our time now…,” Ronan started to say.

Of course you do, thought Rani. You never do anything quickly!

“…rather than flying off in the wrong direction and have to begin all over again.”

Rani sighed, but nodded. She nearly wanted to scream as Ronan bent over to pick up a twig to use as a letter opener. Slowly, he unsealed the envelope, took out the clue, folded the envelope into quarters, and put it in his pocket. At last he looked at the clue. He cleared his throat.

“‘I may be a place for sitting, but I am royally uncomfortable,’” he read. His brow wrinkled. “‘Royally uncomfortable’? What does that mean?”

Ronan sat down on a pebble. He put his hand to his chin, deep in thought.

With another sigh, Rani sank onto a small toadstool next to the sparrow man. Hmmm.…Rani thought about the chairs in Pixie Hollow. The chair-talent fairies made sure that they were all super-comfortable, so she knew the clue couldn’t be about a fairy-made chair.

“Could it be that chair in the library with the loose spring?” Ronan asked slowly. “It poked me in the—Well, let’s just say it was pretty uncomfortable!”

Rani frowned. “I don’t think that’s it,” she said. “I think the important clue here is royally. You know, like a king or queen.”

Ronan nodded. “Could it be one of the chairs in Queen Clarion’s chambers? That would mean it was royal,” he said.

“But it doesn’t explain the uncomfortable part,” said Rani. Why are we just sitting here when we could be thinking and flying? she wondered.

“Rani,” Ronan said, interrupting her thoughts. “A chair made of stone would be uncomfortable, wouldn’t it?”

“Probably,” Rani agreed.

“Isn’t there a lookout chair made of stone near the lagoon?”

“Yes!” she cried. She jumped to her feet. “And it’s called the Throne! That’s definitely it!”

Ronan looked very pleased with himself.

“But where is it?” Rani asked. “I’ve never been there.”

Ronan grinned. He knew exactly where it was. “Follow me, Hawk,” he told Cousin Dove. Rani climbed onto the bird’s back and off they went.

Well, we’ve gotten such a slow start we’re certainly not going to win, Rani thought. But maybe we still have a chance at beating Vidia.…

Hawk was a smooth and gentle flier. When they got to the Throne, it was obvious that they were one of the last teams to arrive. Most of the fairies (except for the ones who were examining the broken chair in the library, or those trying to make their way into Queen Clarion’s quarters to look at her armchairs) had already come and gone.

Rani and Ronan landed on the arm of the chair. Below them was Captain Hook’s ship, the Jolly Roger. Rani could picture the crusty old pirate himself pacing the deck. He was probably planning his next skirmish with Peter Pan and
