Chapter 4.

As Jamie and her friends danced along the purple trail, they danced into the brightly lit room enjoying the beautiful scenery of the piece of paradise. They gratefully enjoyed themselves, until they came across a small fairy in a sparkling purple dress with crystal wings. Standing next to unorganized piles of decorations, coloring activities, cakes, and snacks, the fairy anxiously jumped up and down, and to and far placing things around. She looked like she was in a rush, to get the items prepared, as she quickly tossed sparkling dust back and forth, and into the air. “What brings Jamie and her friends to my paradise?,” the fairy asked.

“You know my name,” Jamie asked.

“Something magical in the air told me you and your friends were coming to see me! So, let's save the small talk.”

“Okay, well, my friends and I need help. Can you…?”

“Jamie, I said let's save the small talk. I know you want your purple slippers to stop dancing, and I know you want a way home.”

“Exactly! Please…?”

“...As you can see, I am a very busy fairy with lots of things to do …Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do,” the fairy said as she looked at Jamie with a serious face. She continued jumping up and down, anxiously preparing the decorations, activities, and snacks around the room as Jamie and her friends followed her around through their dancing. 

The purple fairy continued jumping up and dark, skimming through the pile of items, and tossing her fairy dust. It was obvious that she was decorating for a celebration. Jamie remembered how gathering her friends together for their recital brought so much joy to their faces, and assumed the purple fairy must be planning a get-together with her friends. Jamie led her friends around the room to assist fairy, as she continued dancing in her purple slippers. They grabbed flowers, pedals, bushes, and random items lying around, and began decorating the walls and tables. Their dancing and singing around the room made the task simple, quick, and easy.

The fairy’s face lit up joy and excitement after she had seen how amazing Jamie and her friends had decorated the room. She thanked them just as her fairy friends walked through the door. Her friends came in beautiful colors with beautiful crystal wings. One was green. One was orange. One was yellow, and the last was pink.

The colorful fairies spoke in unison, “Hello Jamie, Alexander, Savannah, Hillary and George. Welcome to our party!.”

“Thanks for having us,” Jamie and her friends cheerfully said.

“This place is mesmerizing,” Savannah said.

George asked “Exactly, what are you all celebrating?”

The green fairy said, “We are celebrating our monthly get together as friends!”

The yellow fairy said, “would you all like to join this fun feast of friendship.”

“Yes,” Jamie and her friends happily said.

They joined the fairies in eating delicious fruits and sweet cakes. They joined the fairies in tossing fairy dust in the air, creating tiny sparks of fireworks. Lastly, they joined the fairies in laughing at jokes, playing guessing games, and coloring. The fun seemed endless, but Jamie and her friends knew they had a feast of their to attend back home.

Jamie and her friends took up from the coloring pages. Jamie spoke in a sweet voice, “We really appreciate spending this love time with you all at your celebration of friendship, but we have a party of our own awaiting back home. Is there any way you all could help us get back home…?”

“...Plus it helps that you all have magical dust,” Alexander added.

The purple fairy spoke, “I told you before that there is nothing I can do, and unfortunately none of us have the power to do what you have had the power to do all along.”

Jamie began to tear up as she spoke, “I really love the amazing goblins, tiny people, and fairies of this place, but I am ready to go home and be with my friends and family.”

“...And you can do just that,” the purple fairy said.

“I don't see how,” Jamie replied.

The purple fairy replied, “The power is inside of you, Jamie. You control the shoes, the shoes do not control you. The magic of traveling wherever you want and whenever you want lies in your hands. The magic does not control you, you give command to it!”

The purple fairy took out her bright, yellow, and star shaped wand from her left pocket, and magically poofed Jamie and her friends onto the stage.

Jamie and her friends, confused, stood still on the stage and stared back at the colorful fairies. The purple fairy repeated her words from before, “the power is inside of you… Give command to it!”

Jamie closed her eyes and remembered how their whole journey had started. With her eyes still closed, she commanded the shoes to dance the way she wanted to dance, and the purple slippers obeyed. With the love and joy of friendship in their hearts, the fairies were enthusiastically entertained by Jamie and her friends as they danced and sang on stage. They plied’, spun in circles, and leaped their way through the yellow vortex that had magically popped up on stage. They danced their way back into the living room of Jamie's house, just in time to perform their recital performance and enjoy the big Sunday feast with their family and friends. From that day and on forward, Jamie commanded the magic of her purple dancing slippers, and continued going on fun travels and adventures with dancing friends.

THE END.
