This time Joy and Sid had decided to behave nicely on their special trip. They had heard a lot about Paris, and wanted to see it. But the Blue Fairy was in a bad mood last time due to their blunders, and they knew that they should keep her happy if they wanted these weekend trips to continue.
So when the Blue Fairy came in their dreams this night, they put on their best behavior.
“Blue Fairy, we want to see the Eiffel Tower. Can you please take us to Paris today? We promise not to be naughty at all.”
Blue Fairy was extremely happy to hear that. “I always wanted to see Paris.” She said. “Do you know it is the fashion capital of the world? It boasts of the world’s finest designers and dresses.”
Joy and Sid were least interested in fashion. They wanted to see the world famous Eiffel Tower.
So, the Blue Fairy and the two kids flew across the skies to Paris. Blue Fairy was so excited about Paris; she kept on talking about the wonderful dresses and fashion houses based there.
“Do you think I can get to try some dress for myself?” she wondered aloud.
“Joy, won’t we get bored if all Blue Fairy shows us is those dresses and shops? I hate shopping!!” exclaimed Sid.
“Well, we’ll ask her to drop us at the Eiffel Tower.” Joy replied, and so they did. The Blue Fairy dropped them off at the second level of the Eiffel Tower, and rushed off. She was in such a hurry, she didn’t even ask them not to be naughty!! Anyhow, the boys had made enough mistakes in the past, and knew they had to be careful from now.
Paris looked stunningly beautiful from the heights of Eiffel Tower. The iron tower: all lit up against the dark night sky, looked magnificent as well. Joy and Sid spend a lot of time climbing its stairs and running around.
Soon, it was time to go back home, but the Blue Fairy was nowhere to be seen!! They had to reach home before the crack of dawn. The friends waited for the Blue Fairy for some more time, but it became clear quickly that there has been some trouble. Blue Fairy has never been late before….
They decided that it is time to fly down the tower and start looking out for the Fairy. So the boys flew down, over the dark streets of Paris, looking for their Blue Fairy. Not long after, they saw someone shimmering quietly in a dark corner. As they approached, they found it was the Blue Fairy indeed. She sat sobbing sadly in a corner, without her wings or the magic wand!!
“I wanted to check the lovely, fashionable dresses in these boutiques”, she explained. “So I took my wings and wand off and kept them here on the pavement. Disguised as a normal girl, I went in the store and was mesmerized by all the clothes. But when I came out, I couldn’t find my wings and wand anywhere. They are lost, and I can’t fly or do any magic now.”
“We’ll find them” said Joy, and the boys started flying low on the streets looking everywhere for the fairy’s wings and wand. They found it lying in a dustbin nearby- someone obviously thought it was trash!!! When they got it back to the blue fairy, she was extremely thankful.
“I didn’t know even fairies are mad about fashion!” said Sid, as they flew back home just in the nick of time.
“Girls!” sighed Joy, wondering if they should ask the Blue Fairy to be more careful from next time on!!!
