4 Fairy Spell 3 SPRINKLERIDOO!

Fairy Spell #3 SPRINKLERIDOO!

Ice Cream for Everyone We were going on vacation to Florida. There was going to be a beach and a swimming pool and boats to sail on. I had a new striped swimsuit, a new hat, and even a new red suitcase with wheels. Wardrobe was left in charge of the house while we were away. Even though he doesn't like magic very much, Dad said Wardrobe would be better than any guard dog. Before we left, Mom was having a lesson from Fenella on FairyTube. They were doing magic packing. She waved her Computawand, pressed a code —bleep-bleep-bloop—and said, "Packeridoo!" But all

the clothes whirled around the room and landed on our heads.

"Oops," Mom said. "Wrong code." She pressed a different number and tried again: "Packeridoo!" At once all the clothes folded themselves neatly and put themselves in our suitcases. Magic is very useful sometimes. When Mom's magic lesson was over, I said, "I wish I could do the Packeridoo spell every day, instead of having to pack my school bag. I wish I could do magic now." "You'll be able to do it one day," Mom said, smiling. She gave me a hug, then said, "Have you packed your goggles?" "Of course!" I said. "I'm going to swim every single day." At the airport, it was very, very crowded. There were people and rolling suitcases everywhere. We couldn't see where to go. Dad went to ask someone, but it took him forever to come back. Ollie dropped his teddy and started crying. A man

ran his suitcase over Mom's foot by mistake. More and more people were arriving, and everyone was squashed. Mom looked annoyed. "There are too many people here!" she said. "We'll never get to Florida!" She pulled us behind a luggage cart piled high with suitcases so that no one could see. Then she stamped her feet three times, clapped her hands, wiggled her behind and said, "Marshmallow,"…and POOF! She was Fairy Mom. She waved her Computawand at the crowds of people around us, pressed a code—bleep-bleepbloop— and said, "Empteridoo!"

At once the airport was empty. There were no people or suitcases or carts. There were no check- in desks or signs. There were no planes outside. There was no airport at all! Just a big empty building and our family. Dad came walking across the big, empty space. He rolled his eyes. "Don't tell me," he said. "Magic." "Oops," Mom said. "I don't know how that happened." "There are no planes," I said, and I started crying. "Now we can't go on vacation!" I wouldn't be able to use my new suitcase or go swimming in my goggles. "We will go on vacation!" Mom said, giving me a hug. "Don't worry, Ella. I will use magic to get the airport back." "And then, maybe, put the Computawand away?" suggested Dad. "Just for a week." When we got to our hotel, I was very excited.
