9 Another Pixie

9 Another Pixie? "Sprite!" Violet cried. "What's happening?" "I'm not sure," Sprite said. The book flew up high—and landed on the roof of the library!

"No!" yelled Violet. Then the second book began to float out of Violet's hand. She tried to grab it, but that book flew away, too. Violet ran after the book. She noticed that pixie dust was sparkling all around it. "Pixie dust is making the books fly away!" Violet said. "Sprite, stop doing that!" "I'm not doing it!" Sprite said. "It must be another pixie. One trying to stop us." "We have to do something!" Violet said. Sprite took out his Royal Pixie Tricker medal.

"By the order of Queen Mab," he shouted to the glittering air, "show yourself!" The second book flew up in the sky. It landed on a high tree branch. But there was no pixie in sight. Violet felt the third book twitch in her hands. She held on tightly. "How do we stop this pixie?" Violet asked. "We need to find out who it is," Sprite said. Then Violet and Sprite heard a giggle. It came from the tree. Violet looked. She saw a flash of purple. "Who are you?" she asked. Another giggle. "Never mind, Violet, Sprite said with a wink. "It's obvious. This pixie is too scared to face me."

"Hey!" came a voice. A small fairy popped out from behind the tree. She was dressed in a yellow striped shirt and short purple overalls. Wings fluttered on her back. "Spoiler!" Sprite cried. "That's me!" Spoiler said. "I'm not afraid of you."

Sprite puffed out his chest. "Well, maybe you should be. I am a Royal Pixie Tricker." Spoiler rolled her eyes. "Oh please! You couldn't trick yourself!" Sprite flew up to Violet's ear. He whispered, "Say Spoiler's name backward with me three times. It won't trick her. But it will get rid of her for now." Violet nodded. She and Sprite had done this before. "So what are you going to do, Sprite?" Spoiler said. "Ooh, I'm so scared."

Then Violet and Sprite shouted together, "Reliops, Reliops, Reliops!" Spoiler frowned. "Rats!" she said. In a flash, Spoiler vanished. "Good!" Violet said. "Now we can get back to tricking Jolt." "Should I fly up and get those books?" Sprite asked. "Do it fast," Violet said. "We have to go save Leon!" Sprite quickly rescued the two library books. Then he threw some pixie dust on Violet. "Achoo!" She forgot to hold her nose. The library vanished.
