Dr. Griffiths’s study, she paused to look in, hoping to see father and daughter united over Lizzy’s project.
    But as she hovered, she heard voices through the partly opened window.
    “Father, look!”
    “Not just now, Lizzy.”
    Tinker Bell fluttered to the window to investigate. It was quite a scene. The ceiling was leaking in several places, and strewn around the room were buckets, pots, and pans to catch the water. Dr. Griffiths was busy trying to stop one of the leaks in the ceiling.
    Lizzy held out her journal. “I made it especially for you, Father. It’s just like your field journal. It’s filled with lots of facts.”
    Dr. Griffiths climbed up on his desk and mopped at the wet ceiling with a cloth. He was clearly flustered and frustrated.
    “Yes, yes, Lizzy. That sounds wonderful. But I’m in the middle of a potential catastrophe here. I can’t look at it now.”
    “But, Father. It’s a field journal, and I—”
    “I don’t have time,” Dr. Griffiths insisted in an exasperated voice, trying to stuff a little piece of cloth into a crack in the ceiling. “I have to stop these leaks before it starts pouring.”
    The cloth seemed to stop the flow of drips for a moment. “There we go,” Dr. Griffiths said with a sigh.
    “That’s not how you fix it,” Tinker Bell muttered under her breath.
    A drop of water came through the cloth and fell on Dr. Griffiths.
    “Told you,” Tink muttered again.
    Dr. Griffiths jumped off the desk and began to move his paperwork away from the dripping water.
    “When will you be able to look at it?” Lizzy asked him.
    “I don’t know,” her father sighed. “Maybe later.”
    Lizzy turned away and hugged the journal against her chest. “You always say that,” she said in a glum tone. Tinker Bell watched her leave the room, unnoticed by Dr. Griffiths.
    Torn, Tinker Bell looked back toward the tall oak tree.
    Her friends would be worried about her. She wanted to go back. She needed to go back. But she also knew Lizzy would be feeling pretty lonely. Tink had a big choice to make.
    Tinker Bell flew back into Lizzy’s room, approaching slowly so she wouldn’t startle her.
    Lizzy gasped. “Tinker Bell!” she cried in a joyous voice. “You came back!”
    Tinker Bell floated down onto her hand. “I couldn’t leave my friend,” she said.
    Lizzy smiled. She might not have understood Tink’s words, but she heard the warm offer of friendship, clear as a bell. “I’m so glad to see you,” she said. “Father has no time for the field journal.”
    Tink flew up and lifted Lizzy’s chin, wiping the tears away. “I think I can fix that,” she jingled.

“Vidia,” Rosetta said, “are you sure you know where you’re going?”
    “Yes. Tinker Bell and I walked by here. I just have to find the road.”
    Fawn fell into step on the other side of Vidia. “Road? What road?”
    Vidia reached forward and parted some tall grass. “That road.”
    “That’s not a road anymore,” Iridessa protested. “That’s a muddy river.”
    “So I guess we need to find a bridge,” Rosetta suggested.
    But Vidia didn’t want to risk taking a detour and getting lost. Tink needed them right away. She drew a deep breath and jumped, landing in the muddy water up to her knees.
    “Or,” Rosetta added, “we could be spontaneous and jump right in.”
    “It’s not deep,” Vidia pointed out. “We could walk across.”
    Fawn jumped in, and then Iridessa and Silvermist. Bobble and Clank plowed in, making major splashes. Only Rosetta hesitated on the bank. “I don’t really do mud,” she explained.
    “But … you’re a garden fairy, ” Vidia pointed out.
    Rosetta gave her an embarrassed smile. “Ironic, isn’t it?”
    “Rosetta!” the fairies all shouted.
    “Okay. All right. I’m coming.” Rosetta took off her sandals and stepped daintily into the water. “ Ewwww! Ooooh. What was that?”
    Vidia rolled her eyes and waved her arms like a crossing guard, urging Rosetta across.
