The Sugar Ball Read Online Free PDF Page A

we need is a Chocolate Fairy to make another wand to clean up the mess! A new magic wand could get rid of the chocolate spell.”

    â€œShe’d need the first wand to be able to reverse the spell,” Raina said, shaking her head.
    â€œBut maybe I could make something to help clean up the mess,” Cocoa blurted out. “I just can’t sit here wondering what to do.” She stood up. “Send a sugar fly if you hear or see anything,” Cocoa told them. “I’m going back to Chocolate Woods.”
    â€œDo you want company?” Melli asked.
    Cocoa fluttered her wings. “Maybe in a little while,” she said. “For now I need to concentrate on chocolate thoughts.”
    As Cocoa headed back to Chocolate Woods, she was saddened to see all the puddles of chocolate in Sugar Valley. Berry was right … whoever had the wand was not a Chocolate Fairy. A Chocolate Fairy would know how tohold the wand with better aim and skill. She shook her head. But what Candy Fairy would want to steal her wand?
    Before Cocoa went into Chocolate Woods, she decided to sit on Caramel Hills to think. She was happy to see that there was no sign of chocolate on the golden hill.
    Cocoa sat and wondered what would happen to the crops and thought about how sad all the fairies would be if there was no Sugar Ball. A tear fell from Cocoa’s eye. How could she even tell Princess Lolli? To think that she had once been so excited about her chocolate royal wand!
    Out of the corner of her eye, Cocoa saw a flash of chocolate. At first she thought she was seeing things. But then she realized—there was a chocolate clue happening right in front of her!She got up and flew toward the caramel tree dripping with chocolate. She touched the chocolate. The thin chocolate was like syrup.
    How strange
, she thought.
The wand must be nearby
.
    She flew up to the top of the tree and looked around. This had to be a fresh hit. The chocolate hadn’t been there before. Her wings began to flutter. Was this the final chocolate clue? She scooted to the edge of the tree branch and scouted the area. She didn’t realize it, but she was holding her breath. She was nervous and excited at the same time. Right beside a small chocolate oak tree she spotted her chocolate royal wand!
    The sight took her breath away, and she gasped out loud. Cocoa saw the wand—and knew the fairy holding it!



The Power of Chocolate
    C ocoa flew down to the small chocolate oak. Her eyes never left her chocolate wand. “Cara, what are you doing with that?” she asked the small Caramel Fairy. Melli’s little sister stood wide-eyed, staring back at her.
    â€œOh, Cocoa!” Cara cried. Tears sprang from her eyes and she sobbed so hard that Cocoacouldn’t understand a word she was saying.

    At that moment Cocoa wasn’t angry at all. She reached out, took the wand, and put her arm around the young fairy. “Why don’t you start at the beginning and tell me what happened?” she asked gently. She guided Cara over to a rock and sat her down. Cara still hadn’t stopped crying. “Please stop,” Cocoa begged her. “If we are going to fix this mess, we have to know what happened.”
    Cara sniffled and took quick breaths to try to calm down. “Please don’t tell Melli or Princess Lolli,” she said. She looked up at Cocoa. “Ireally am so sorry for this mess that I’ve made.”
    â€œCara, just tell me what happened,” Cocoa begged. She gave Cara’s shoulder a tight squeeze. “I promise I won’t be mad.”
    Cara’s shoulders relaxed and she was able to breathe easier. “Well,” Cara began, “I saw your wand on the ground after Sun Dip. It was sticking out of one of the licorice bushes by Red Licorice Lake.” She wiped her eyes with her hand. “I was going to give it back to you. That’s why I picked it up.” Her brown eyes glanced at
