The Christmas Tree glows in the low winter sun. The fairies are flying round the glade, Christmas cheer in their eyes and party fun in their wings. It is time to celebrate the year, in true fairy style.

Suddenly, everyone pauses in collective awe. A present has materialised beneath the tree. The silence is broken as the fairies cheer.

A small gift in pink shining paper glimmers with its own hidden secret. There is a magic amethyst wand next to it, which has also only just appeared.

In a house far way, Melissa is sound asleep. In her dreams, she is playing with young lambs. She giggles as the dreams. If only she could have a pet in real life.

Moonstone Marina sweeps down to the ground, and inspects the gift. She knows what she has to do. Waving the magic wand furiously, she then grabs the present and flies away. She does not know where she is going, but the wand’s spell has set her path.

In a cloud of sparkling wizard’s dust, she materialises in Melissa’s bedroom. Quietly, she places the gift on Melissa’s pillow. Then she is gone as mysteriously as she arrived.

In the morning, Melissa gasps with delight. Quickly she opens the present. A rose quartz lamb falls in to her hands. She laughs. “But I wish you were a puppy!”

The stone changes beneath her fingers. It is now a pink Labrador puppy.

Melissa laughs, too happy to be curious as to the magic in her hands.

“I want a kitten!”

The stone changes again, as Melissa giggles.

That night, she sleeps with the crystal – now in the shape of a unicorn – beneath her pillow. As she dreams, unicorns join her. She climbs on one, and rides with it through a dense forest. Soon, they come to a glade with a shining fountain, fairies flying through its waters. Melissa laughs, she feels so happy.

The next day, when she awakes, little does she know that a piece of Gemstone Glade magic is now lodged in her heart, forever.
