the wand now in Cocoa’s hands. “But the wand is just so beautiful.”
    â€œIt’s the power of chocolate,” Cocoa said. “It’s very hard to resist.”
    Cara nodded. “Yes,” she agreed.
    â€œAnd so you tried it out?” Cocoa asked.



“I didn’t realize the magic was so strong,” Cara went on. “As soon as I picked up the wand, things started to change into chocolate.” The Caramel Fairy sniffled. “And the more I tried to stop that from happening, the more chocolate I made!”
    Standing up, Cara walked over to the chocolate oak and leaned against the tree. “I wanted to fix what I had done, but I couldn’t,” she explained. “I went to find one of Raina’s books. I thought I could find the answer without anyone knowing what I had done.”
    â€œWhy didn’t you just come to me or to Melli?” Cocoa asked.
    Cara looked down at her golden brown shoes. “I wanted to fix my mess by myself,” she said.
    â€œOh, Cara.” Cocoa sighed. “You should neverbe scared to tell a friend that you need help.”
    Pulling her hair away from her face, Cara let out a long sigh. “I guess,” she said. “But at the time, I thought Raina’s books could offer a quick fix.” She let her hair fall around her shoulders.
    â€œThose books don’t always have the answer,” Cocoa said sadly.
    Cara paced around the tree. “When I got to Gummy Forest, Mogu was there!” she said. “I had never seen a troll up close before. He was so salty! I panicked and caused a chocolate explosion.”
    Cocoa flew over to Cara and took her hand. “Yes, I’ve seen Gummy Forest.” She guided the young fairy back to the rock. “And then why did you go to Sour Orchard?”
    â€œI remember hearing that Berry went to see Lemona the Sour Orchard Fairy,” Cara said.“Lemona was able to help Berry with those sour heart candies that she found by Chocolate River.”
    Cocoa remembered how difficult that journey had been for Berry. Berry was afraid to go to a different part of Sugar Valley. Raina had gone with her, and together they had found the Sour Orchard Fairy. And Cara, who was much younger, had gone by herself! Poor Cara, she really was trying to do everything alone.
    â€œI didn’t get very far into Sour Orchard when the wand starting oozing chocolate syrup,” Cara told Cocoa. “Then I knew that I was really in a mess.” She hung her head. “I heard the sugar flies buzzing about the Sugar Ball being canceled, and I got scared. I couldn’t believe I had caused so much trouble. I came back hereand thought I’d be safe in Chocolate Woods.”
    The wand in Cocoa’s hands sparkled in the sunlight. The candy jewels were catching the sun’s rays, and the fairy etched in the round globe was smiling. When she’d had the idea for the Sugar Ball accessory, Cocoa had never dreamed that the wand would create so many problems. Cocoa looked back at Cara’s sad face.
    â€œI thought it would be fun to try to be a Chocolate Fairy,” Cara said softly. She was staring down at her hands. “At least for a little while.”
    â€œJust because you are a Caramel Fairy doesn’t mean that you can’t work with chocolate,” Cocoa told her. “Melli and I work together all the time. But trying to make chocolate? You’re going to have to leave that to the Chocolate Fairies.”
    Cara nodded.
    â€œYou know, when I was younger, I really wanted to be a Gummy Fairy,” Cocoa told her. “I was so jealous of all the colors that Raina got to play with. Her candies were all the colors of the rainbow. Chocolate only has a few shades, you know.”
    â€œReally? You wanted to be a different kind of fairy?” Cara asked. Her eyes were wide with disbelief.
    â€œYes, even though I am one hundred percent chocolate!” Cocoa
