“Hmm,” Clara said. She scribbled on her clipboard. “Now, when did this trouble start?”

Myka thought back. “I guess the other morning. When I thought there was a thunderstorm? I scouted all over Never Land.”

“Where exactly did you fly?” Clara asked.

As best she could, Myka went back through her flight. Pixie Hollow. The forest. The meadow. The field. The lagoon. Clara nodded along.

“Can you read this eye chart?” The nursing talent pulled down a rolled-up leaf paper hanging high on the wall.

Myka shook her head. She could barely see the chart!

Clara put down the clipboard. “Myka, I’d say you’re having a vision problem.”

Myka gritted her teeth. Any fairy could have told her that! Still, she said nothing.

“But I’m not sure why. You’ve been working hard. You might have just strained your eyes,” Clara said.

“What does it mean?” Myka was growing impatient. “What can I do?”

“Nothing much.” Clara wrote a note on Myka’s clipboard. “Just rest your eyes. They should heal by themselves.” She handed Myka a pile of mosscloths. “Cover your eyes with these.”

Good news, bad news, Myka thought. Good news, she’d be better in no time! Bad news, she had to rest her eyes. A scout couldn’t really do that!

“Listen, Clara.” Myka spoke in a low voice. “Could you keep quiet about all this? I really don’t want this sort of thing to get around Pixie Hollow.”

“Of course I’ll keep it quiet.” Clara pointed to another sign in Leaf Letters. “We take a privacy pledge. Anything that happens between a patient and a nursing talent is strictly hush-hush.”

Myka was a patient? She’d never been sick a day in her life! But if it would keep Clara quiet, then she guessed it was fine.

Myka went to her room. She covered her eyes with cool mosscloths. And she waited, tapping her toes impatiently on her bed’s footboard.

Hours passed. Finally, she heard the flurry of wings in the halls. It was time for dinner.

Okay, she thought. All I have to do is take off this mosscloth and I’ll be perfectly fine. I can get back to work.

Smiling happily, she removed the mosscloth. “Oh, no!” She drew in her breath. Her eyesight was even worse!

Her nightstand looked like a shapeless blob. Her bed was a bigger blob.

Oh, tracks and trails! She couldn’t bear to stay in her room, resting, another minute! She had to move, had to track, had to scout.

Would it make that much difference if she got up and got going? Clara had said her eyes would heal by themselves, hadn’t she? And didn’t that mean with or without rest?

Myka felt around under the bed. She pulled out her shoes, then slipped them on. Somehow, she’d have to act the way she always did. Somehow, she’d disguise the fact that she even had a problem.

Myka stood up tall. She was ready…for dinner.

She flew down the hallway but paused at the door to the tearoom. Getting there was simple. She’d flown up and down the Home Tree halls so often, she could do it in her sleep.
