Chapter One
Agatha flew to the base of Oak Tree, her wings flitting with excitement. Today was her first day on the job--she was Fairy Dust Supplier, exactly what she had hoped for! As she passed other fairies, most lounging around, she didn’t notice the few that obviously were not happy with their jobs.
“Mom, today’s the day I start my job!” she shouted gleefully when she landed under her mushroom roof. (By the way, when new fairies earn their jobs, the other fairies retire. Each year the one-year-old fairies earn their jobs.) Mom, who had retired last year, stood by the stem of the house cooking grass stew over an open fire. Agatha’s mouth watered, but she continued. “This means, Mom, that in less than ten minutes, I’ll be managing Fairy Dust! I love Fairy Dust!” Mom turned to face Agatha, grinning.
“I knew you’d be excited, Agatha. After a year of school, every day when you came home you were chatting with one of your friends about Fairy Dust!” Now Agatha smiled, placing her small hands on her freshly pierced ears. All fairies got their ears pierced after the meeting for careers.
“I just wish we got to work for more than a year!” she complained, plopping downon a pebble chair. But then she glanced at her watch, and realized that if she didn’t get going now, she would be late for work. She grabbed her coat off a twig hook, called good-bye to Mom, and flew off in a rush of excitement and hurry.
Agatha’s job was to pour the Fairy Dust into little purple velvet pouches and pull the drawstring to close the pouch. Then she was to drop the pouches in a hole in the floor next to her chair where the pouches would stay until she had worked for half of the day, and then the rest would be for distributing the dust to all the fairies. And now was the time to begin!
The former Fairy Dust fairy, who would train Agatha for the first day, was waiting for her when she arrived. Agatha was brave, and never shy, and she said these words just as she had rehearsed.
“Hi--oh, what’s your name? I’m Agatha, the new Fairy Dust Supplier. I hope to reach any goals I have for myself this year!” But the fairy just looked amused.
“I’m Natasha, and I think you need to relax a bit. It’s not all that exciting, just putting powder in bags all day, you know.” But Agatha ignored that. She wasn’t going to let Natasha get to her on her first day! “So, I’m hoping you know the general idea of being a Fairy Dust Supplier, so . . . Well, do you?” Agatha wasin a daze taking in her surroundings, but suddenly she snapped out of it hearing her mentor speak.
“Oh, um, I know everything about it! I’ve dreamed about being Fairy Dust Supplierfor my whole life!” Agatha replied, somewhat uneasily. And once again, Natasha looked amused. What was up with this girl? “Can we please just get started now?” So Natasha showed Agatha how to scoop up one cup of fairy dust and get the amount exactly right, and not spill any. Agatha wasn’t shocked, though--she was prepared. She followed Natasha’s instructions exactly, and finally, though only for a while, Natasha looked pleased rather than amused. Anything was better than amused at the time.
“So now that you know how to put the powder in the bag, you need to know how to put it down the chute.” Now Agatha was caught off-guard--she thought she was just supposed to drop it and continue--but okay. Agatha tied the drawstring ends into a bow, allowing no spills to happen, and carefully, very slowly, dropped it down the hole in the floor.
“The slower you drop it, the less of the chance there is that when it lands it will spill, or the bag will rip. But after all, the chute isn’t that long.” And before Agatha could comment, they were in the basement sorting out the bags. “Since you do your job every day, the Fairy Dust will be used the day after you supply it, and it will still be fresh that way. Oh, and by the way, you’ll run into the new Fairy Dust Maker every time she drops off more fairy dust for you to supply.” It turns out that the Fairy Dust Creator was Cassidy, a very shy fairy with not many friends. Maybe this would give Agatha a chance to get to know that girl better.

Agatha flew home slowly, enjoying the crisp breeze that penetrated the humid air.

once again, the next chapter of my story. cheerio!
***
To Agatha’s delight, Cassidy didn’t ask any morequestions, and they went to work in silence.
Workwas normal. Cassidy delivered a couple loads of pouches and powder, Agatha keptworking, the whole scene. The day flew by and once again Agatha was at homewith her mother.
“Howwas your day, Mom?” she asked, trying to be cheerful. Mom told her with acracked voice that it was fine. And before Agatha could say anything more, ameeting was called.
Tamarahad obviously practiced doing speeches and her voice rang out confident andclear.
“Hello,fairies!” she called, and there were grinning faces everywhere lined with thesetting sun. “I have more announcements today- of course. Cassidy, one of yourpouches was ripped when delivered to the ‘anonymous’ fairy, and all the powderwas gone. Please see me after the meeting. Hannah Discipline, a fairy hascomplained that her child is getting away with bad deeds. Please make sure allfairies are treated equally. Ti Candy, all compliments on your new candy,Flufftuffs. What are they made out of?” Ti Candy, who was in the very back ofthe crowd, called out,
“It’sa secret that only I shall know.” Tamara looked surprised at such an answer butcontinued anyway. Cassidy and Ida were standing next to Agatha. Cassidy wasn’tlistening to the announcements but was glaring at Agatha. Does she think that I ripped a pouch? Not a chance! Agatha thought,gazing accusingly at Cassidy’s hands. Andwhy do meetings always end this way?
“Cassidy,I see you have decided to bring along your half-partner. Do you think she didthis?” When the place was cleared, it was just Tamara, Cassidy, and Agatha.
