the room Cocoa saw Cara. She was wearing a short dark caramel dress with a sparkling tiara in her hair. Cocoa flew over to her and noticed that the sweet tiara was covered in tiny caramel drops.
    â€œYour tiara is extraordinary,” Cocoa told her.
    Cara curtsied. “Thank you. I may not be able to handle chocolate, but I am learning how to make caramel candy!”
    â€œWell done,” Cocoa cheered.
    Princess Lolli came over to Cocoa and Cara. Her pink-and-white-sugar layered dress looked scrumptious. In her left hand, Cocoa noticed the royal wand. Princess Lolli’s wand was made entirely of sugar crystals. The wand was dazzling with the sugar-frosted jewels. Cocoa couldn’t take her eyes off it.
    â€œI see you did bring your chocolate wand,” Princess Lolli said to Cocoa. “I’m glad that you did. Your work is excellent. You should be proud.”
    â€œThank you,” Cocoa said. “And I’m not letting the wand go!” She laughed. “No more crazy chocolate episodes in Sugar Valley.”
    â€œLet’s hope not,” Princess Lolli said, grinning.
    Cara held her hand up to her chest. “Certainly not from me,” she vowed.
    Princess Lolli winked at her. “Enjoy the party,”she said as she flew to greet more guests.
    â€œLook,” Melli cried as she raced over to Cara and Cocoa. “It’s the Sugar Pops! They really are here!” She pointed to the far corner of the room, where a stage was set up.
    â€œWhere are the Sugar Pops?” Dash and Berry exclaimed from behind Melli. She looked all around.
    Raina landed next to Dash. “The Sugar Pops are here already?” she asked.
    Melli laughed. “They are right there,” she said. She put her hands on their shoulders and faced them in the right direction.
    Once everyone saw the brothers, they let out a sigh.
    â€œNow the party can really begin,” Coca said, smiling.



“Char is just so yummy,” Melli said with a sigh. “Look at that hat. He is just the sweetest.”
    Dash flew up above her friends to get a better view. “I don’t know,” she said. “I think Chip is just delish.”
    Cocoa laughed. “Well, together those three have the best sound in Sugar Valley. Let’s go say hi to them.”
    Melli pulled at Cocoa’s hand. “Do you think they will remember us?” she asked.
    â€œHot chocolate!” Cocoa exclaimed. “Of course they will remember! How could they forget the fairies who saved Caramel Moon?”
    The four friends laughed and followed Cocoa over to the front of the stage.
    Just as Char, Carob, and Chip took center stage, Cocoa caught Char’s eye. He grinned downat her and then whispered in his brothers’ ears.
    A hush fell over the crowd. Everyone wondered what the Sugar Pops were up to. Char grabbed the microphone and greeted the crowd.
    â€œHello, Candy Kingdom!” he sang out. “Happy Sugar Ball! We’re so happy to be here today now that the chocolate mess has ended.” A roar of cheers and applause echoed in the room. “And we’d like to call up five of our fairy friends to help us with our first song, ‘Chocolate Dip.’”
    â€œâ€˜Chocolate Dip’ is my favorite song!” Cocoa exclaimed. She grabbed her friends, and they all flew to the stage. They were so excited to be close to the famous singers again. Cocoa reached out and took Cara’s hand. “Come with us!” she shouted.
    Char nodded and the music started. Thefriends huddled together and swayed to the music. Looking out at the crowd, Cocoa saw that everyone was having a great time. She waved her wand at the end of the song, and tiny chocolates fell around the Sugar Pops. The boys laughed and threw the candies out in the crowd.
    â€œNice touch, Cocoa,” Char whispered. “That is some wand!”
    Cocoa thought her heart would melt!
    â€œOh, you have no idea,” Melli
