Fanny Excerpt:

Fanny couldn’t believe her luck, as she struggled beneath the heavy pillow, pushing her way back from the grasping hand that had almost wrapped itself around her tiny body. The hand patted the mattress, moving back and forth until it found its prize, a shiny, silver dollar! Clutching its reward, the hand retreated and Fanny could hear the boy’s voice as he leaped from his bed.

“Mom! MOM! The tooth fairy came! Look what she left me!”

Fanny breathed a sigh of relief, sinking back into the fluffy pillow. What, in the name of cotton candy, was this kid doing awake anyway? As if she didn’t know. Slipping out from under the pillow, Fanny headed to the window, looking for her trainee. She had an earful she had to say to him, leaving her stranded in the danger zone, while he flew away to safety.

“Oh there you are Fanny. That was a close one, wasn’t it?”

Closing her eyes, Fanny counted to ten, and then turned towards the pile of toys the voice had come from. “It was only close Zip, because you woke the child up.”

“It wasn’t my fault Fanny! He had a fairy trap set up!”

Fanny prayed for patience, and then continued her lecture. “They all have fairy traps. Every child wants to catch the tooth fairy. That’s no excuse for clumsiness!”

“I’m sorry Fanny,” Zip said, hanging his head. “I’ll do better at the next house.”

Fanny sighed. That was the same thing he had said at the last house, and the house before that, and the house before that. He’d been saying it all night long, with no hope in sight of it ever being true. Why did she have to be the one to get Zip as her Fairy In Training? He was the clumsiest F.I.T in the history of F.I.T’s. Even worse than Wiz and she had been pretty bad.

Fanny heard the sound of the boy’s feet heading back to his room. Judging by how fast they were moving, he must have realized he hadn’t checked his trap and was hurrying to see if he’d caught a fairy. Grabbing Zip’s arm, Fanny slipped under the crack in the window, pulling him behind.

“Try to keep up Zip,” Fanny said, her wings moving faster than usual. “We are way behind schedule; we have to step it up if we are going to finish by morning.”
