Fairy Spell #2 REWINDERIDOO!

The Best Field Day Ever Again and Again ne morning, Mom came to my room and gave me a pair of sneakers. "What are those for?" I asked. "For field day at school," she said. "You should practice your jumps before we go!" I went out to the backyard and ran along the grass. I stepped, stepped, then jumped a couple times. But my shoelaces were too long, and during one of my tries I tripped over them and fell to the grass with a thud, bumping my nose. I'm not very good at sports, but Miss Allen says sports are supposed to be fun, so I knew I should try

again. But then my Not-Best Friend, Zoe, ran by in her new sneakers, pointing and laughing at me with her horrible laugh before running into her house. I didn't say anything, because Mom says I should ignore people who don't have anything nice to say, but my face felt hot and I couldn't help but feel sad. I brushed the mud off my knees and tried to tie up my laces, but they got tangled in a knot. I hate shoelaces.

"Ready for field day?" I heard someone say. I looked up and saw Zoe's mom going into her house with some shopping bags. "Oh my, it looks like you're having some problems over there!" As Zoe's mom went inside her house, my mom came out and saw me trying to tie my laces. "Come on, Ella!" she said. "It's time to go. Let's fix you up." She looked around to make sure no one could see. Then she stamped her feet three times, clapped her hands, wiggled her bottom and said, "Marshmallow,"…and POOF! She was a fairy. She pointed at my shoes with her Computawand. "Laceridoo!" Suddenly my laces started moving on their own. But they didn't knot themselves neatly. They flew into the air and went to hang on the apple tree. Then all of my dad's shoelaces came flying out the window and went to hang on the tree too. They looked like spaghetti. I started giggling.

"Oops," said Mom, and pressed her Computawand. "I don't know how that happened." Then I spotted Aunty Jo walking up the driveway. She was going to come and watch me at my field day too. Aunty Jo is very good at magic. Her house is full of gold medals from the Fairy Awards. She saw the laces waving in the tree and shook her head.

"What a mess," she said. "Let me fix this for you." She stamped her feet three times, clapped her hands, wiggled her behind and said, "Strawberry shortcake,"…and POOF! She was a fairy, just like Mom, with silver wings and a crown. Aunty Jo Fairy pointed her Computawand at the tree and said, "Fixeridoo!" At once my laces zoomed back into my shoes and tied a neat knot. All Dad's laces sailed back in through the window.
