Twinkle

Chapter 2

“She's the one who stands out in a crowd

She'll make your day bright

Her smile could chase away the clouds

She'll make you feel all right

You'll never find a better friend

Even if you try

I can tell you, girls, 'cause I know”

“She's got a twinkle in her eye

That you can't ignore

She'll be the one that you adore

And that's for sure

You never met another girl like this before

She's got a twinkle in her eye

Which you can't ignore.”

“Hhmm,” Saga thought turning off the TV as the TV special theme finished. “That actually sounded okay.”

Later Sugar and Saga were at her mother’s piano. Saga dabbled on the keys wondering what to play. Everything she usually played seemed so worn out, and she was definitely not going to lower herself or the piano to playing chopsticks.

“So yeah still no twinkles.” Sugar finished. The fairy had been informing Saga about her day. Hunting for twinkles, wandering around, playing with her fellow fairies, and attempting to steal ‘waffos’.

“Really that’s too bad.” Saga replied vaguely. She honestly had not been paying attention to the fairy at all.

Saga tapped a few keys and they reminded her of the song she’d heard that morning. Quickly she tapped a few more and the theme song’s piano score was forming itself in her mind. The main line was perfected in her head.

“She’s got a twinkle in her eye…” she started with the chorus. Sugar bolted up in focus. There was a twinkle out there somewhere, in someone’s eye. She scanned the crowd of females outside looking for a twinkle in their eye.

‘That you can’t ignore,

She’ll be the one that you adore,

And that’s for sure,

You’ve never met another girl like this before,

She’s got a twinkle in her eye,

That you can’t ignore now.” Saga sang as Sugar went outside darting in-between people to see their eyes and hopefully get a twinkle in the process.

None of them, guys and girls alike seemed to have a twinkle in their eye. She repeated the song she’d heard in her head once more searching for the meaning within the meaning.

“The one I adore…” Sugar said slowly. It dawned on her.

She zoomed back to where Saga was just finishing up.

“Twinkle!” she proclaimed rammed herself dangerously close to Saga’s eyes. Her eyes sparkled and then went out.

“NO!!!!” Sugar wailed,” Get the twinkle back in you eyes Saga!”

‘What?” Saga asked in utter confusion. Sugar was crying and running her words together so fast that she couldn’t understand it at all. The song… it all made vague sense now.

“It’s just another song Sugar.” Saga stated. The little fairy stopped wailing and looked at her with tear stained eyes.

“Just another song?” Sugar asked rubbing the tears away.

“I’m afraid so.” Saga replied, taking the little fairy and putting her on the piano. She was getting cross-eyed looking at her on the bridge of her nose. Sugar wiped her tears away and her wings perked up ever so slightly.

“You sure?” she asked. Saga nodded yes. Sugar’s wings drooped again in her sadness.

“How about we get some waffos?” Saga said. Sugar perked up instantly. Waffos could make anything better, even not finding a twinkle.
