herself.
    Fawn took a deep breath and moved aside. “Ladies, say hello to Gruff.”
    The NeverBeast was hanging upside down in the tree behind Fawn. He dropped down from the tree branch.
    Iridessa fainted.
    “What. Is. That?” Rosetta asked.
    Fawn shrugged. “I actually don’t know. I’ve never seen any animal like him before. Ever.”
    “What does he eat?” Tink asked.
    “Not fairies,” Fawn said.
    “Oh, well, that’s a relief!” Silvermist said.
    “So I’m gonna take him to the queen and show her he’s harmless,” Fawn told them. “Then I’ll tell her how he destroyed Sunflower Meadow. Well, how
I
destroyed it. You know what, maybe it was both of us.” The NeverBeast grunted and Fawn corrected herself. “It was an accident, okay?”
    Gruff agreed and went back to work.
    “And what do you call that?” Vidia asked about the tower.
    “Again, I don’t exactly know…but I’m working on it!” Fawn said.
    Rosetta frowned. “I’m hearing a lot of ‘I don’t knows’ in this conversation.”
    “Umm…uncertainty makes me uncomfortable,” Iridessa complained.
    “C’mon, have I ever put you guys in danger?” Fawn asked, seriously.
    Rosetta answered honestly. “Uhh, yeah.”
    Silvermist said, “Yep.”
    Iridessa said, “Frequently. Remember Peter the Porcupine? I still can’t sit up straight.”
    Vidia waited a beat before saying,
“HAWWWWWWWWK!”
She was reminding them about Hannah, just to prove a point.
    “Oh, yeah.” Fawn remembered it all. “The point is—I want to do the responsible thing this time, just like I promised.”
    The girls looked at one another, then Tink turned to Fawn. “I’m guessing you already have a plan in mind?”
    She did. “Operation Gruff-a-Go-Go.”

    A little while later, Fawn and the others had coated Gruff in pixie dust and flown him through the sky. Fawn sat on his head as the girls guided them toward the Pixie Dust Tree.
Gruff landed softly.
    Fawn hopped. “Open up, big guy!” She used his own spit to smooth his fur.
    “Eww! My skin is gonna break out!” Rosetta shivered.
    “Okay, so I’ll go in and set the stage. Then on my signal, get him in position, and I’ll bring her out,” Fawn said, then whispered to Gruff, “Don’t worry.
She’s gonna love you.”
    Fawn stepped away. “Here I go! Model citizen, all the way!”
    The girls cheered her on. “Good luck! Be brave! You can do it, sugar!”
    The girls watched Fawn as she entered the queen’s chambers.
    “She’s doomed.” Vidia sighed.
    Fawn started speaking the minute she entered through the queen’s door. “I’ve been thinking about what you said, which is why I’m here to tell you that—”
    Clarion turned and Fawn saw that Nyx was there, too.
    Fawn changed her mind about telling the queen. “I—uh—you know what? It can wait. I’ll come back.”
    “Fawn, I’m glad you’re here,” Queen Clarion said.
    “So am I…” Nyx grinned.
    “Nyx has discovered a dangerous animal in Pixie Hollow. We could really use your expertise.…” the queen began.
    Outside the Pixie Dust Tree, Gruff was trying to get away from the girls and go to Fawn.
    Tink peeked in the queen’s window to see what was going on.
    “Ugh, I am on the verge of perspiring over here. Do you see the signal?” Rosetta asked.
    Fawn subtly gestured at the window, trying to tell Tink to take Gruff and leave.
    But Tink didn’t understand the hand motions.
    Nyx explained, “I had my first direct sighting earlier today. This is no ordinary predator we’re talking about. It’s bigger and faster than anything we’ve ever seen. I
combed through every animal text in the library, and came up empty. But it turns out, I was looking in the wrong place.”
    Tink flashed an “I don’t understand” gesture to Fawn.
    The moment Nyx and the queen looked away, Fawn exaggerated her gestures, until it looked like she was playing charades.
    Nyx noticed her wild gesticulations, but Fawn covered them up by pretending to
