Kisalla woke up the next morning in a frizz of hair, the wetness of the rain and the bath the previous night not fully dried. She stretched and looked about the room finding Fawn sleeping peacefully on a hammock near her.

Kisalla stood up and stretched to the morning sun that just peeked behind the clouds. She walked over to Fawn and smiled down at her as she slept. She decided that it would be best to leave her sleep as she walked down the stairs towards the kitchen.

When she took a one of the lost things out of the cupboard to get herself a glass of water, she noticed a hand mirror on the wall. To fairies it is closer to a full body mirror. She blinked a few times and reached out and touched it.

"Don't break it now." Fawn said from right behind Kisalla, making her squeek and drop the cup with a clatter.

"I'm so sorry I didn't mean touch it, well i mean to touch it but i promise i would have been gentle, and if it would have broken I wo..."

Her sentence was cut short by Fawn as she put her fingers to her lips.

"I'm just teasing cutie. I know you would not have broken it." Fawn laughed at Kisalla's look of embarassment that followed and turned her around, wrapping her arms around the small fairy's neck as she leaned on her.

"It's neat isn't it? Tink found it for me some time ago. Now I can braid my hair without having someone else to do it." Kisalla looked into the mirror and then up at her hair as the topic ws brought up. She was suddenly struck with the fact that her red locks were frizzy and almost everywhere.

"Eep! My hair! What happened?" She whimpers and tried to pat it down but nothing was working. She looked around and spotted a makeshift comb one of the tinker's made and tried that as well. Fawn was watching her giggling as she smiled mischeviously.

When Kisalla was having absolutely no luck, she became a little frustrated and pouted. Because of her hair play she didn't see Fawn come up behind her with a bucket of water. Fawn dumped the whole thing onto the red head and leaghed loudly as she sputtered and looked around surprised to see what just happened.

"Fawn...but..but why did you do that?" She said after figuring it out. The small fairy suddenly looked sad and about to cry at the prank. Fawn rolled her eyes and hugged her.

"It helps, your hair gets that way because of the humidity and because t was still damp when you slept in it. The only way to straighten it is to get it wet again." Kisalla didn't look convinced as she began to shiver, though it wasnt all that cold out. Fawn laughed again and fetched her a towel and then sat her down. Taking the comb, she worked her hair in with the water until it was maliable. Once combed she looked like her usual self.

"There now..isn't that better?" Kisalla nodded but didn't look much happier.

"Oh cheer up. I have a surprise for you today." She said walking over to a cabinet also a Tinker creation. Kisalla's ears would have perkked up had she been a cat or dog.

"Surprise?" She asked, wiping her eyes and standing. Fawn pushed her back down into the chair and giggled. "No no, sit right here and don't move a muscle."

Kisalla did as she was told and was then promptly blindfolded with the towel. Some shuffling was heard then a thud. Kisalla opened her mouth to speak but found something put into it quickly.

Kisalla meeped and took off the blindfold. Fawn was leaning against a box and had put something sugary and thin. Fawn was munching on one as well as she giggled at Kisalla who looks like she fell in love.

"What is this? It's so tasty..." She said holding it like it was pricless.

"It's candy. Our cooking talent fairies make it. We need more than just pixie dust to live ya know."

She giggled and munched on the candy stick before opening the box. Inside of the box was a bird egg.

Kisalla stared at it for a moment then gave a confused look at Fawn who suddenly looked sad.

"This egg's mother and father, were both taken by the hawk a while back...the egg still lived on. As animal fairies, it is our duty and priveledge to help bring life to this chick's eyes."

Kisalla looked back down at it then smiled. "I am so glad...that we have a chance to help in any way possible."

"Yes. And I'm giving the responsibility to you Kisalla." Her smile vanished instantly as she heard this.

"Uh..come again?"

"Today, the bird will hatch. And it needs someon here to meet it. I have decided to give this task to you. For yourself, and for the bird."

"But, I don't know anything about birds...I don't know anything..." Fawn naooded and hugged the uncertain girl.

"Listen Kisalla, you are the learner. Just as our queen said. But this does not make you perfect. In fact, this makes your life so much harder now. It will take you longer than any one of us to learn the talents. Even f you decide to stay an animal talent, it will take you quite some time to learn it all. That is your nature Kisalla. You have to work hard, and the journey will be tough, but that is what friends are for. Me, Iridessa, Sil, Rossetta, and yes even Tink. We all love you and will help you along the way."

Throughout the speech, Kisalla's expression changed almost every sentence. When it ended, her same sweet smile was here.

"I will do my best Fawn. I promise."

With that sentence Fawn nodded and took her hand into another room where she showed her various things to do when it hatches. After several long minutes were up, Kisalla came out looking confident and sure of herself.

"Ok Kisalla, I will be back tonight. I'll see you and that cute little bird as well when I ge back."

"Ok! See you soon!" Kisalla said back to her before she pulled up a chair and sat in front of the egg.

"I can do this. I have got to." She said to herself as she stared at the shell, fidgeting with excitement of the day.
