“Welcome to Rock Candy Caves,” Mama G said.

“Thank you,” Melli said. “It is an honor to meet you all and to see your beautiful home.”

Mama G looked pleased. “You are the first fairies we’ve ever had here. Not many fairies would come into these caves like this. You must be brave and loyal friends. Please follow me. We will get you some warmer clothes. Our caves are too cold for fairies without proper hats and coats.”

Taly smiled. “She likes you! She likes you!” she chanted.

Everyone laughed. Taly’s happiness was so nice to see. Melli was pleased the reunion was going so well. And she was excited to have her friends with her. After the Candy Fairies got extra coats and gnome hats, Mama G showed them around. There were sugar crystals hanging from the ceiling and so many bright neon colors. Carved into the rock walls were doors that led to where the gnomes lived. Each door had different carvings and looked as if someone had spent a lot of time working to make the doors perfect. Never would Melli have imagined that the inside of a gnome cave would be so bright and beautiful. Melli would not have been able to describe all the sights and sounds of the caves to her friends. She was so glad they were able to see the colors of the rock candy crystals with her.

“Sweet strawberries!” Berry said. “This must have taken you forever to build.”

“Well, gnomes have lived here for many, many years,” Mama G said. “Gnomes lived in the caves longer than fairy queens and kings in Sugar Valley.” She stopped in front of a wall covered with drawings of gnomes. “Here you can see the story of the first gnomes in the area.”

Raina flew up closer to the drawings. With a peppermint in her hand, she looked closely at the drawings from long ago. “Sweet sugars!” she said. “I don’t remember ever seeing any of these kinds of paintings in any books. I never knew that gnomes had such a long history in Sugar Valley. Candy Fairies should know about this.”

“It is good for us to learn about each other,” Mama G told them.

“Thank you for showing us these,” Melli said. “We are so honored. And we have really liked getting to know Taly. Running off like she did was wrong, but we are so glad that we had the chance to meet her and to learn about the gnomes.”

“Show them the special crystals,” Taly said, jumping up and down. “Wait till you see these,” she said to the Candy Fairies.

Mama G patted Taly on the head. “You can show your friends the treasures,” she said.

The Candy Fairies followed Taly down another long, twisting tunnel until the space opened up again to show hundreds of rock candy crystals. Some were growing from the ground up and some were hanging down from the ceiling. These colorful crystals were delicious and brighter than the others.

“Sugar-tastic!” Melli exclaimed. “Now I know why you call them treasures.
