Lukie the Water Fairy

Mark kept silence for quite a while.  Then, "Wait, I can sell no animals or creatures at all?  Not even cattle?" he replied  "Well, farm animals are different.  All though I do believe they should be also consider.  But I meant the forest animals.  The animals that were born free and use to living that way.  This want I meant.  Do you agree?" explained Lukie who was still flying above flashing his beautiful colors.

"Oh, at least that sound a bit better. And I can't brag that I made friend with a fairy. Why?" asked Mark still hesitating to give his answer.  "Dad!  Stop it already and give him your promise!" yelled his son at the same time his son stomped on his foot.

"Hey, that hurt!  Look fine, I won't tell anyone. It's a shame, I would have gotten a lot of money for this story.  But I give you my word.  Save my truck and I shut my mouth, and not catch born free animals.  So now we got a beal, go get my truck." said Mark as they all turned and began to looked towards the river.

Lukie flew towards the center of the river, then he took his flute out and began to play.  The soft beautiful music filled the air with colorful large water drops.  The drops floated around Lukie as he continued to play his music.  

Then they all dove into the water at the same time.   Tomas and the others stare, speechless.  For what they were experiencing was something wonderful and amazing.  "Wow dad, are you watching this?" muttered Thin not taking his eyes off the river's water.  "Yes, this is amazing." he dad replied.  "It sure is," said Tomas as they all stared into the water.

The colorful water drops went to the bottom of the river.  They then surrounded Mark's big truck .  While Lukie continued playing his flute the drops dancing began to bring the truck out from the bottom of the river.   The water drop's lights able them to see the truck coming up clearing.  "Thin there it is.  He's doing it!" yelled Mark excited.   "Wow, this is so cool," said Tomas as the colorful large water drops, surrounded the bottom of the truck floating it up like a large water raff.  It continued out of the water by carrying the truck until it reached the mine road.  Then with one last note and one large splash, the truck was now sitting on the road, dry and ready to go.   As Lukie stopped playing his flute the water drops, jumped into the river and slowly their light went out and the river was normal once again.

Then Lukie stopped playing and flew down landing on Tomas' shoulder.  "There you go, sir. Now do remember your promise.  I must go now.  My people should be worried." he explained as he said his goodbyes.   "Hey, little man.  Thanks for getting my truck back.  It was nice knowing you." he said as he stuck one finger out and Lukie gave him a handshake.

"Lukie, will we see you again?" Thin asked with a smile.   "Who knows.  I can't tell you that.  Don't you know there's no such thing as a fairy?  I must go now." said Lukie  "We going to miss you.  I hope you didn't have to go, but, hey, really are we going to see you again?" asked Tomas

"I'll miss you too, but I must go.  Later guys," said Lukie as he disappeared within a small rainbow in the sky.  The three watches as the beautiful lights vanished.  "What a day we had today, dad.  This was the best day of my life." said Thin   "You and I both." said Tomas  "Get in the truck Thin let's take your new friend home.

"Mr. Mark, do you think we'll see him again?" asked Tomas as they drove towards him home.  "Who knows, he just might.  Hey wait a minute aren't you the kid that Thin is always chase and beating up?" asked Mark a bit confuse.   "Yes, dad, like Lukie said someone can change." said Thin  " Thank goodness too that," replied Tomas as they laugh as they went down the road.

Meanwhile, Lukie went back to his bright colorful world.  The moment he enters.   "Lukie, about time you returned.  The others are waiting to know what you've found out." said Mukie  "Well today, I found out not to fall asleep out there and I did make a couple of friends." Lukie replied with a smile.  "No! You're going to get in trouble again.  You suppose to find out if he's the chosen one and again you come back with nothing!" said Mukie  

"Dude, don't have a cow.  Tomorrow is another day," said Lukie as he flew up and land on top of an open rose.  "Now going away I'm tired," said Lukie as he cuddles up and quickly fell asleep.  Munkie shook his head, "I guess we don't have no chose but to wait for another day, as he walked away leaving Lukie alone sleeping were it was safe.

Mark kept his promise.  Thin and Tomas became good friends.  The water fairy adventure brought them together. Even after a year, they were still good friends.  Lucky for Lukie for his job wasn't quite done yet.
