Lukie the Water Fairy

Tomas knew he was lost. He rode the bike so fast that he didn't bother looking which way he was turning or going.  "Oh, boy, I'm lost, really lost. It's all those boys faults, now that I do need them to show up, they don't," he muttered 

"I'm really tired and hungry.  I need to figure out what to do," he whispered   When suddenly he heard the sound of water coming from a good distance.  "That sounds like water, maybe there's a road close by," he said as he began walking his bike towards the sound he heard.   He reached the sound, it was behind lots of large willow trees.  

The leafy tear like leaves blocks the view.  "Whatever is making that sound is right behind those, long leaves. I'll park my bike, right here in between these bushes, I don't trust, those boys still might return," he muttered as he put his bike away and began to walk towards the large willow trees, moving the long leaves out the way until he reached the other side where the noise was coming from.

"Oh, wow, there's a waterfall on the other side. I wonder why my mother didn't tell me about this." Tomas whispered as he stood staring admiring the beautiful view. 

"I wonder if there a way to get to the other side.  Where am I, I must be really lost." he thought when now he heard water splashing at the bottom of the river below.    "What was that noise?  There must be big fishes in that river to make a loud splash like that one," he whispered as he tried to look down, making sure he didn't get too close to the edge.

Then suddenly he heard a flute, making beautiful soft music.  "Now what is that?" Tomas quickly thought as he quickly bends over enough to see a fairy playing her flute, while the river's waters dance in giant water drops with figures and shapes.  It was magical, and Tomas was amazed by forgetting that he was at the edge. He just stared.  

Then the water figures spotted Tomas, they vanished disappearing into the river.  When this happens Lukie glanced up, "Boy, get away from the edge!" he screamed as he floated up into the sky.  Tomas froze, then he slipped and down he went.  Before he could land in the water, the fairy flew over Tomas, gripped him by his shirt and carried him towards the safe ground.

Tomas glanced up at the tiny fairy with the superhuman strength.  "What are you?" he said as he started being very childish and rude.  "Boy, what are you doing out here?  It's doesn't in this part of the forest," replied Lukie as he floated above Tomas he was still sitting on the ground where he had dropped him.

"If you tell me what are you, I'll tell you what I'm doing out here." replied  "Let me tell you something boy.  Why are you making deals with me? I just saved your life I do believe.  Show some appreciation for what I did, and tell me what you're doing here instead.  If you notice boy it's getting dark. Soon, I'll have to leave and you'll be alone. So tell me what you're doing here right now. It's not safe you, it's getting dark." Lukie said as he floated and flew from placed to placed with speed and made sudden stops as he spoke and moved.

Tomas didn't say a word for a second, but then, "Well, you do make sense.  I'm lost, some bullies chase me further into the forest.  This was not my idea. Now, I'm lost and afraid.  I'm also a bit confused, I don't know if I die and I'm dreaming all this, for this is not real, or am I still sleeping home in my bed." the boy replied.

"Don't worry boy, you're just lost, took a wrong turn.  I'll show you how to get back.  But I need you to do something for me." said Lukie with a smile as he floated down to Tomas landing on his knee.  "What is that?" Tomas asked finding him very cute.

"I smell something sweet and delicious coming from behind the bushes over there.  I don't touch for I know it might belong to you.  So it does belong to you, I want some.  You know a small piece will do.  I'm little so it won't be much." Lukie replied

"So you telling that you're hungry?  Well, I'm hungry too.  By now my mother and family should be worried about looking for me.  I'm sure after I tell my mother I was lost and got hungry and ate something from the grocery bag, She won't mind.  Stepped off my knee for a second, I need to go get my bike.  The food is in the basket."  he replied  

"No, don't worry, I can manage this," said the fairy as he began to blew it's flute, with some music he was very calming.  Then suddenly the bushes began to move side to side and the bike rode itself out from behind the bushes.  

"Which one is the bag?" stopped blowing the flute and asked. The brown one." the boy replied  Then Lukie blew his flute again and the bag proceeded to step out of the basket then floated in both of their direction.   Tomas stare with his mouth wide open, "How do you do that?  It's so neat." he said as he grabbed a hold of the incoming grocery bag.  He reached into the bag taking out a very large cheese danish. As he unwrapped the pastry, the wonderful sweet smells filled the air and travel straight to Luke's nose.

"Oh, my goodness, I smell sugar, cheese, deliciousness. Give me some, give me some now!" he said as he reached over to grab the danish.  "Hey, hey, wait a minute, this is enough for both of us, I'm hungry too," said Tomas as he broke a piece off and landed to Lukie.  The pieces were very large that as Lukie carried it, he kept going side to side, and wibble wabble.  He then placed it on top of a large rock, then sat on the rock and began to eat.  Tomas also began to eat.   The two sat there for quite a while when it began to get dark.
