Once there lived a girl named Zoey. She lived with her mother and her little sister named Coco in a small cottage. Her mother was very hard working. Coco was a very sweet, kind, and obedient girl. She would always listen to her elder sister.

One day their mother asked them to get some juicy fruits. Both of the sisters went together to get delicious, juicy, and yummy fruits. On the way, little Coco saw a very beautiful butterfly with many colours and wanted to follow it. Zoey tried to stop her but, attracted by the butterfly, Coco ran after her. To be with her sister, Zoey accompanied her. The butterfly flew and sat on a very beautiful flower.  The sisters went near the flower and started admiring it. The flower had three colours pink, blue, and purple & it looked amazing that it immediately attracted both of the sisters. Coco asked her sister “Can we take it home, we‘ll give it to our mother”. Zoey agreed thinking that her mother would like the flower. The sisters tried to pluck the flower, but it did not come out of its stem. They tried again but still were unable to get the flower. Suddenly the flower disappeared and both the sisters got scared.

 Soon they heard a noise behind the bushes and this time they got terrified and started running in any direction. Coco saw a small cottage said, “Zoey look there’s a house; let’s go inside to save ourselves”. Zoey got suspicious as she had always known that there was no one except their family in this jungle. But as they were scared by the noise they decided to rush towards the house. On reaching the door they shouted, “Hello, someone’s in there? Please help.” But there was no response. Then suddenly Zoey saw a blanket hanging. It seemed that there was something covered with this blanket. She went near the blanket and took it off. 

“Oh! It’s a wooden door” shouted Coco”. The wooden door was covered with some pearls on it. They opened the door and could get inside the house to save themselves.

It was a completely different world inside it. It looked magical, like a fairy tale. There was a shine in Coco’s eyes and she held Zoey’s hand tight to express her excitement. Zoey responded to her with an amazing smile and they headed to experience the beauty. It was a soothing shade of sky above them and there were colorful flowers everywhere. They kept on moving further taking small steps, looking at each other with excitement. Everything here had a magical glitter shining bright distinguishing it from the rest of the world.

Suddenly Zoey bumped her head into someone and said “Oh! I am extremely sorry for that, didn’t see you coming”. The other person said, “it’s fine, it was my fault too ” and smiles. On giving a second look, Coco shouts “it’s a fairy, you’re a fairy, and I can’t believe I am meeting a fairy “. Zoey was surprised too.  The fairy laughed and said “Oh darling fairies are real, they do exist. But how come you are here and you are not a fairy?” Coco explained to the fairy about whatever had happened to them and how they got into this world. 

The fairy introduced herself as Drizell. She tried to understand what Coco just explained to her. First Drizell got confused then suddenly something clicked her and she could relate the existence of the girls to her world. Drizell explained to Coco & Zoey that not everyone can see the flower and they must be the special ones who have been chosen to save this world and get the magic flower back. “The magic flower?” Zoey questioned. “Yes, it is the most powerful flower, which has been stolen,” Drizell said sadly. The flower was a special one with magical powers for fairies. 

Zoey asked Drizell who had stolen it, and how they could help. “The flower has been stolen by the Evil Queen of the Dragon Island,” Drizell said pointing towards a mountain where the Queen lived. The mountain was all dark. Coco looked at her elder sister with all the innocence on her face as now she was getting worried. Zoey tried to calm her down and explained to her that they were special and that is why they could see the flower and they should help Drizell. Coco believed her sister and gained the confidence to do something for the fairy. Drizell, who was listening to the conversation, was happy to learn that the sisters were going to save the flower. 

Drizell took them to her treehouse, served them some delicious food, and then they all got ready to go to the Dragon Island.  They had to cross the bushes and some rocks on the way. They finally reached the outskirts of the Island and then decided on a plan to enter the Island. The Island looked scary, everything was silent and the only thing they could hear was the sound of wolves howling at intervals. 

“Are there any dragons over here?” Coco asked, ” I think so but we are lucky no one found us “, Zoey answered. ” Not lucky enough, “said a scary voice. All three of them turned around and saw a big wolf. They tried to run as fast as they could. The wolf ran faster and caught them and made a siren sound for his teammates to reach the spot. There were so many of them around the fairy and the sisters that they had to surrender. They were made captive and taken to the Evil Queen. 

The queen was wearing a dark dress with a black crystal crown and her magic specter. “Well well look who’s here, let me guess, here for the magic flower?” said the evil queen. Fairy and sisters looked at each other and then there was a shouting voice, “It’s not yours, give it back.” It was little Coco brimming with all confidence and the innocence behind her words.

 “Nobody shouts at the queen, guards! take this disobedient child and throw her in the dungeon “the queen demanded. The queen then made the other two her slaves. Zoey and Drizell were given chores to perform.  Zoey was made to clean the floor and windows. While cleaning Zoey noticed a bird sitting outside the window and trying to say something. She called Drizell to help her understand the bird thinking that a fairy would know the language. Drizell recognized the bird as it was from fairyland and was there to help them. The bird told them that it could help them to the passage which leads to the flower. Drizell and Zoey decided to follow the bird. It took them to a staircase that seemed very gloomy and deep inside. The bird told them that this was the end of his journey with them and from here Zoey would have to take the lead. “You are the only one who can do this and save the world from the rule of evil,” said the bird and left.  Zoey wasted no time further as she knew that Coco was alone and needed to be rescued. 

She started following the stairs with Drizell. They came across a door which was slightly open. It was all silence in there and a very dim light in which they could hardly see each other. As they walked slowly guided by their hands wide apart, Zoey fell on a log of wood and got hurt very badly. She thought she would not be able to walk. Drizell came to her help and tried to heal her wound with her magical powers. The healing power always stays with the fairy even if they lose on all other powers so she touched the wound and it disappeared. 

Feeling fit to walk again they headed off to rescue the flower. Suddenly they felt that they were walking on a very soft surface. Zoey asked Drizell, “Why is this floor so soft and a little cracked at some places?” “Oh no! This isn’t the floor, we fell on a DRAGON!” Drizell realized and exclaimed in fear.  The dragon was sleeping and now it was awake, unfortunately. “Don’t move, maybe it doesn’t know we are here” Zoey whispered. Both of them maintained complete silence but abruptly Drizell’s foot slipped as the dragon moved.    “OOOPSIE, RUN!” Drizell declared. They both ran as fast as they could and the dragon behind them started blowing fire out of its mouth. There was a door on the way. Drizell and Zoey start running towards the door. It was just about to close that they rushed outside and managed to escape. The dragon that was after them bumped his head into the door. 

Looking for what next is coming their way, they saw a ray of light and there was the flower shining bright under the light. “Yes! there it is, The magic flower”, both screamed with joy. They approached it and realized that it was caged inside a glass box. The box had a keyhole in it.  “We need to find the key before someone reaches us,” said Drizell. “The key must be hidden somewhere here”, said Zoey. 

Zoey started losing hope and got worried for Coco. Drizell boosted her confidence and told her that they were very near to their destination and should not lose hope. Zoey hugged Drizell and her hand brushed off a rusty box in the room. They opened the box and to their surprise, the box had a key. They tried the key to open the glass box. The key made a click clock sound and the box opened. They both looked at each other as this was the moment they had been waiting for. Drizell picked the flower and thanked Zoey to fight this out with her. “We found the flower but how do we escape the dragon, it must be waiting to eat us, “said Zoey. Drizell just smiled and told Zoey that now they had the flower and it had solutions to all problems.

Zoey looked at the Mystic flower with expectation and a voice came out of the flower “YOU ARE THE SAVIOURS, THE CHOSEN ONES TO BRING HAPPINESS”.

The flower told them that the Queen had a locket around her neck and this locket is the reason for her being evil. If the locket is taken away from her she will get back to her original form and everyone would be saved from her cruelties including the dragon enslaved by her.  The dragon often falls into a deep sleep and the best way to escape it was to make no noise while crossing.  

Drizell and Zoey followed the advice and started going towards the hole from where they had fallen onto the dragon. They reached the queen‘s room while she was sleeping. Zoey tried her luck to grab the locket but the queen is awake and she yells out at her security slaves to come and get hold of Zoey and Drizell. Queen noticed the flower in Drizell hands and is shocked with anger and rushed towards Drizell. Zoey took advantage of the situation and snatched the locket from her neck. The moment the locket was away from the queen’s neck, it starts changing colour.

Drizell shouted, “Crush the evil thing Zoey”. Zoey threw the locket and crushed it to pieces. The queen succumbed to the floor and fainted. Zoey immediately rushed to rescue Coco.  By the time the queen woke up she was a different person, all the evil in her had vanished. She thanked Drizell and Zoey for getting her out of the evil cast. The dragon had turned back into Queen’s Unicorn. Everything changed back to normal and the Dragon Island vanished. Drizzle brought the flower back to fairyland. She picked the most delicious and juicy fruits and gave them to the sisters and guided them on their way back home.

Zoey and Coco reached home and their mother was happy to get the delicious fruits. She appreciated both of them for their good work but she had a question for them, “How did the fruits get glitter on them?” Zoey and Coco looked at each other and smiled secretly. All three of them hugged each other lived happily thereafter.
