Her eyes never left her chocolate wand. “Cara, what are you doing with that?” she asked the small Caramel Fairy. Melli’s little sister stood wide-eyed, staring back at her. “Oh, Cocoa!” Cara cried. Tears sprang from her eyes and she sobbed so hard that Cocoa couldn’t understand a word she was saying. At that moment Cocoa wasn’t angry at all. She reached out, took the wand, and put her arm around the young fairy. “Why don’t you start at the beginning and tell me what happened?” she asked gently. She guided Cara over to a rock and sat her down. Cara still hadn’t stopped crying. “Please stop,” Cocoa begged her. “If we are going to fix this mess, we have to know what happened.” Cara sniffled and took quick breaths to try to calm down. “Please don’t tell Melli or Princess Lolli,” she said. She looked up at Cocoa. “I really am so sorry for this mess that I’ve made.” “Cara, just tell me what happened,” Cocoa begged. She gave Cara’s shoulder a tight squeeze.
