Draft_The Flutter Fairies -A Children's Story By Sandra Bunting
The flutter fairies appeared one day in the air. Just like that, poof! They hovered over the flowers, jumped up and down on leaves and peeked out of bushes. Of course, they were extremely small and very delicate. Their hair was made of real golden threads that stood up and behind in twisted tendrils. Their little faces were transparent, but with a hint of rainbow colours like what you get from some bubbles or when a bit of petrol leaks into a puddle. It was hard to get them to slow down long enough to catch their features but when you did, you would see black almond-shaped eyes and a red pouty little mouth. They had no noses or ears. Their bodies were equally see-through but you could notice the beginnings of arms and legs that might continue unseen. They all wore simple dresses, each of a different colour and with a different design on it. From their backs radiated intense white light and this seemed to help them to fly.
These are most interesting characters because they inhabit both the ordinary and fairyland. For besides being flutter fairies, they were also human little girls. When they were fairies, they didn't remember being little girls and when they were little girls, they didn't remember being fairies. However, in both worlds they had the best adventures.There were three of them, which was usually a bit awkward because it was easier to fight with that number. They were all the best of friends but sometimes one of them would be annoying.
Flute was the youngest. She wanted to be in a band and she made up songs, tried out different dances and poses and put different ornaments in her hair. Her dress was lilac in colour and aroma. Keenit was the eldest. She had on a dress the colour of a peacock sea and smelled of rolling waves. Imagination and art were her gifts. In the middle was Lutoz. She was all action and loved games and mischief. She was dressed in pink with the aroma of old rose.

"I'm going to have a party for the Autumn Full Moon," Keenit announced. The eldest flutter fairy was as quiet, intelligent, caring and beautiful as a doe. However, whenever she was under the influence of her friends the Gutter Goblins, she became giggly and hyper. She turned into a schemer; the other two fairies were often the victims of her mischievous plans.
The fact was that the Goblins loved being in the fairy house. It was a special place. It was the hollowed out inside of an oak tree. The tree still managed to be healthy, its high branches heavy acorns and the distinctive leaves, long and indented. The inside of the tree was so bright with golden fairy dust that it would make the grumpiest creature smile. Flute and Lutoz were always trying to get the goblins out of the house and the goblins were always trying to get in. It was not that the little fairies did not like the goblins. They too enjoyed a good joke, but not being the butt of them. Their manners also left a lot to be desired. Besides that, their friend wanted nothing to do with the two of them with the goblins around and sometimes they wanted her for themselves. So they both gave a long sigh.
"We're going to have the party outside", Keenit smiled as she threw up her arms and twirled in the air. "We'll make a fairy circle under the moon."
"Is it just us or will those goblins be coming too?” Flute questioned.
"It will be for absolutely everybody. All our friends that is. We'll put our foreheads together tonight and send out the invitations by fairy wave."
