“Lady Luna Grace, Lady Luna Grace.” turn as the twins come flitting up to me. Even taller, they look more like they are floating than walking.
“Alexander said we should ask you what we can do to help in the pack.”
“Yes, now that we are part of the pack, we want to help.”
I think for a moment. “What can you do?”
They look at each other,
“We can fly.”
“We can glow in the dark.”
“We can make plants grow.”
“We can.”
“Wait!” I say, holding up a hand. “You can make plants grow?”
“Oh yes.”
“It’s easy.”
“We’re sprites, after all.”
“So, you could help our garden grow?” I ask.
“Oh yes.” They both nod.
“Let’s go see what you can do.” I say before taking them into the garden.
Victoria is working this morning. “Hi Victoria. Have you met Leilani and Lolana?”
“Not specifically. Nice to meet you both.”
“You as well.” Leilani says, but her attention is on the garden.
“You did all this?” Lolana says, also looking around the garden.
Victoria frowns, looking at me. “There are several of us that work in the garden.”
As we watch, the twins begin walking through the plants, their fingers barely brushing against the plants as they pass. As they touch them, the plants seem to perk up, their color becoming brighter, standing taller and the fruits and vegetables growing on them seems to get bigger in front of our eyes.
“What the-?” Victoria says in awe.
I have to agree. I knew they were forest sprites, but I didn’t know that meant the plants would respond to them like this.
When they return to us, they are looking over the garden happily.
“How did you do that?” Victoria asks them.
“Plants are living things.”
“They work hard, all the time.”
“To grow and to produce food for others.”
“Sometimes, they get tired.”
“Or sad.”
“So, we gave them a little boost with our light.”
“And made them happy again.”
“Well, you’re hired.” I tell them.
They turn to me. “Hired to do what?” They ask excitedly.
“You’re now in charge of keeping our garden happy.”
They both start jumping up and down excitedly, clapping their hands.
“Oh, that’s so great.”
“We’d love to keep the plants happy.”
“Alexander will be so proud of us.”
“Maybe he’ll lick us again.”
“Or do that thing with his hands.”
“Or that thing with…”

“OKAY!” I say loudly, cutting them off before I have to hear any more about what Alexander might do with them. “You can discuss that with Alexander later, preferably in private.”
“Thank you, Lady Luna Grace.”
“Nice meeting you Lady Victoria.”
