mumbled. Laughing, Melli gave Cocoa a tight hug.
    The Sugar Pops went on to play all their hits. All the fairies in the kingdom were rocking out to their sweet sounds. The Sugar Ball was a great success, and everyone was having a supersweet time.



Cocoa went over to Cara and put a chocolatedrop in her hand. “If you ever need any chocolate, please never hesitate to ask me,” she said.
    â€œDon’t worry,” Cara told her. “I know where to find my chocolate. You have my word that I will be more responsible.”
    â€œSure as sugar,” Cocoa said. “This is the best Sugar Ball ever!”
    She twirled Cara out on the dance floor. “Maybe we can work on some caramel and chocolate candies together.”
    â€œI would love that,” Cara said, smiling.
    â€œMe too,” Melli said, coming between them. “Count me in.”
    â€œCount us all in!” Dash exclaimed.
    â€œThe more fairy friends, the sweeter!” Cocoa announced. And then she fluttered her wings and spun around to the music.

R aina the Gummy Fairy sprinkled handfuls of colorful flavor flakes into Gummy Lake. She smiled as the gummy fish swam over and gobbled up the food. Watching the fish eat made Raina’s tummy rumble. She had gotten up very early and had been working in Gummy Forest all morning. When she settled on a perch high upon a gummy tree, Raina opened her backpack. All the animals in the forest were fed, and now she could relax and eat her own lunch.
    Raina had an important job in Sugar Valley. She took care of the gummy animals that lived in Gummy Forest. There were many types of gummy animals, from friendly bear cubs to playful bunnies. Raina was fair and kind to each of the animals—and they all loved her.
    â€œHi, Raina!” a voice called out.
    Raina looked up to see Dash, a Mint Fairy, flying in circles above her head. The small, sweet fairy glided down to see her.
    â€œI was hoping to find you here,” Dash said. “I need your help.”
    Raina was always willing to help out any of her friends. She had a heart that was puresugar. “What’s going on?” she asked.
    Dash landed on the branch next to Raina. She peered over at the bowl in Raina’s hand. Dash was small, but she always had a huge appetite!
    â€œHmmm, that smells good,” she said. “What is that?”
    â€œIt’s fruit nectar. Berry brought me some yesterday,” Raina told her. She watched Dash’s eyes grow wider. It wasn’t hard to tell that Dash would love a taste. “Do you want to try some?” she asked.
    â€œThanks,” Dash said, licking her lips. “Berry’s nectars are always supersweet.” Dash leaned over for her taste. Berry the Fruit Fairy had a flair for the fabulous. And she could whip up a spectacular nectar. “Yum,” Dash continued. “Berry makes the best fruit nectar soup.”
    Raina laughed. “I don’t think I’ve ever heard you say that you didn’t like something a Candy Fairy made,” she told her minty friend.
    â€œVery funny,” Dash said, knowing that her friend was speaking the truth.
    â€œHave you come up with any ideas about what to get Berry?” Raina asked.
    Dash flapped her wings. “That is why I’m coming to see you,” she said. “I was hoping you could give me an idea. I know Berry would love something from Meringue Island, but that is a little too far. She’s the only one I haven’t gotten a gift for, and Valentine’s Day is tomorrow. Since it’s also her birthday, I want to make sure the gift is supersweet.”
    â€œSure as sugar, Berry would love anything from Meringue Island,” Raina agreed. MeringueIsland was in the Vanilla Sea and was
the
place for fashion. Berry loved fashion—especially jewelry and fancy clothes. When Fruli, a Fruit Fairy, had come to Sugar Valley from the island, Berry was very jealous of her. Fruli had beautiful
