Madeline got from recess to science and found a note in her desk. The note had a riddle in it so she read it because it intrigued her. The note said: Under the bed, Inside the box. You will find the key. Next to your socks. Maddie put the note in her pocket, anxious to get home and follow the clues. When the time finally came to go home, Maddie rushed to the bus. When she got home, she got a cookie from the plate her mom was holding, kissed her on the cheek, and ran up the stairs to her bedroom. She put down her bags and kneeled next to her bed. Maddie poked her head underneath the bed and there was a little box. The box was made out of finely cut wood and it had blue swirls. When Maddie opened it, a sparkly dust fell on her hands and slithered itself up her arms. It made a light blue tattoo pattern of swirls all over her arms. Maddie was fascinated. In the box was a small key. It was a medieval key with light blue swirls just like the box. When the dust was finally cleared out of the air, she recognized the shape of another note. The note was attached to the key. Maddie thought this was all very eccentric but she kept on following the clues. The note said: In the house of Tammy, You will find the next clue, But don’t rush, little girl. We have faith in you. She remembered that Tammy was her doll. Maddie hurried to her doll’s house and there was a lock. Maddie tried to open the lock with the key that had light blue swirls. Until she realized the lock needed 3 keys to be opened and she only had one of them. When she opened part of the lock with the only key she had, another handful of sparkly dust but this time it was red. It glided up to her face, tattooing the side of her right eye with red leaf-looking shapes. A note fell out of the first keyhole and this is what it said: In your mother’s red flowers, find the only purple flower pull it with power and search for the key sprinkled with powder.

Maddie ran to her backyard and went to the place where her mother was planting red lilies. Maddie found the only purple lily and barely touched with her finger. It suddenly turned into a key that fell into the grass. Maddie grabbed the key and ran up back to the doll’s house. She put the key in the second keyhole and another ton of yellow powder fell from the second keyhole. The yellow powder crawled to her neck, made its way up to the top of her ears and it made her ears like an elf’s ears. Her ears were now pointy on the top. Maddie’s hand flew up to her ears as she felt them growing. Enchanted, Maddie picked up a note that had come with the yellow powder. This note read: The last key You will need To discover who is Looking for thee is in the kitchen. Maddie ran to her kitchen and started opening drawers and counters and doors in her kitchen looking for the key. Then she saw green powder appear next to her glass of juice. When the green powder disappeared, Maddie saw a key lying in the kitche counter and rushed to finally open the big lock. As soon as Maddie inserted the third key in the third keyhole, a big door appeared in her room. It was huge and it had an ancient door knocker. It had purple swirls all over it. Maddie didn’t think twice about opening the door. She reached out for the doorknob and opened the door. Maddie was left standing in awe. There were clouds inside the door. It was like a fairy world. There were fairies flying everywhere and smiling, inviting her to come in. Maddie stepped into a cloud and the cloud immediately took her to Nyx. The goddess of all fairies. Nyx brightened up when she saw Maddie. She brought some fairy clothes for Maddie and tied her hair in a tidy bun. Nyx presented Maddie to her school friends. Maddie looked around her. What was this? Was this like another world she was entitled for? Maddie was very confused but she liked everything around her. The clouds were pink and fluffy. There were fairies all over and they were wearing glittery purple skates. As days passed, Maddie became more part of the fairy world. She suddenly began to make many friends. She learned that in that world they didn’t have mothers and fathers. That each fairy had one grandmother. And that every February 9th they went down to Earth and visited a national park. When it was February 9th, Maddie was very excited because she was going to go to Earth again. Every fairy got in a line behing Nyx. Nyx sprinkled some powder in one of the fluffy clouds and it suddenly turned into a door exactly like the one Maddie had used to go in. When they got to the national park in Earth, every fairy met with her grandmother and went to sit on a bench. Maddie’s grandmother was special. She had a lavender garden in a unique cloud. Maddie loved her grandmother and she was very happy and proud that she had got assigned that grandmother. Maddie and her grandmother, Lulyra, went to sit down on a bench. Lulyra gracefully covered Maddie’s eyes with a napkin made out of lavender. Maddie giggled as she inhaled the lovely scent of her grandmother’s lavender garden. Lulyra came with a present wrapped in lavender paper and placed it in Maddie’s hands. She took the napkin out of Maddie’s eyes as Maddie happily unwrapped the gift. Maddie gasped and was very happy when she saw her gift. It was a lavender plant of Lulyra’s garden that sent out to the air a delicious scent. Maddie brought the plant up to her nose and smelled the aroma. She smiled and hugged Lulyra. Then they went back to Fairy It Up with a door that was the same as always, and lived happily ever after!
