Sticky Situation

Melli left the palace and flew out to Sweet Cream Harbor. Now that the caramel sauce was finished and cooling, she could take a break from the work—and those cool Ice Cream Fairies.

Maybe I can leave now—before the Spectacular, Melli thought. The caramel sauce is done. No one will even miss me or know I’m gone.

But then she remembered her friends and how they were counting on her to tell them about the Summer Spectacular, the newest ice cream flavors, and the colorful floats.

She couldn’t leave.

The smell and the beautiful scene from the purple sandy beach at Sweet Cream Harbor calmed Melli. She found a smooth rock and sat down to enjoy the view . . . and being alone.

There were a few Spectacular floats bobbing in the water. Some Ice Cream Fairies were putting finishing touches on their floats or anchoring them in the harbor. There were some very fancy ones with lots of decorations. Each float looked like a delicious dessert with colorful trimmings. Melli was amazed at the whipped cream and candy toppings. She took off her shoes and dug her feet down into the cool purple sand. She longed to be on the red sugar sand beach at Red Licorice Lake. In a few hours her friends would gather at Licorice Lake for Sun Dip. She felt a lump in her stomach.

Melli wrote a sugar fly note. I miss you all very much, she scribbled and then paused. I haven’t made any friends because the Ice Cream Fairies are like Frozen Fairies. Again she felt bad about sending sad thoughts, but she folded the note and sent it away.

Since her friends weren’t there, Melli tried to imagine what they would say about this float situation. She was sure that Dash would be frustrated on the slow-moving ride and that Berry would love the attention of being in a parade. Cocoa and Raina would be excited about decorating the float.

How was she going to get out of riding the float with Drizzle and Fluff? Now that Queen Swirl had gotten involved, it would be hard not to go. Melli watched the waves and saw how the tide was rolling in closer to her. Now the cold water was just reaching her toes.

All of sudden Melli heard a loud cry. She flew up from the rock and looked around.

“Hello? Where are you?” Melli called. “Are you all right?” She spun around in the air, looking for the creature that had called to her. Down by the water’s edge she saw a white shape in the sand. It looked like an animal.

“Hot caramel!” Melli exclaimed. She saw a white seal struggling. The animal was trying to free herself before the tide rolled in.

Melli flew out to her and saw a cone stuck on one of the seal’s flippers. “You sweet thing,” she cried. “You can’t swim.”

With each wave, the water around the seal got deeper. If the tide came in and the seal was still stuck, the poor animal might drown if she couldn’t swim.
