Tears filled Violet's eyes. Sprite was her best friend. She didn't want anything bad to happen to him.

"Maybe he saw another one of the escaped pixies and chased after it," Leon said.

"Without telling us?" Violet asked. "That's not like Sprite at all."

Leon tried again. "Maybe he's back home, waiting for us."

"Maybe," Violet said. But something inside her told her that wasn't true.

Violet and Leon walked home to the yellow house that they both lived in. Leon and his mom, Violet's Aunt Anne, lived on the first floor. Violet lived on the second floor with her mom and dad.

Violet went straight to the backyard. Sprite loved to smell flowers there.

"Sprite," Violet called softly. "Are you here?"

A bird chirped in the old oak tree. The toad that lived in the yard croaked.

But there was no sign of Sprite.

Violet sat down with her back to the oak tree.

"What do we do now?" Leon asked.

Sprite's magic bag dangled from Violet's fingers.

"Maybe the Book of Tricks can help," Violet said. She took out the tiny book and flipped through it.

"There's Hinky Pink's picture," Violet said. "You really did trick him, Leon."

Violet looked some more. "There are only two rhymes left to solve. We just have to trick Finn the Wizard. And Spoiler."

"Did somebody say my name?" a voice said.

Violet gasped as a fairy appeared in front of them. Spoiler's dark hair was tied in two pigtails on top of her head. She wore a yellow-striped shirt and overalls.

"Spoiler!" Violet cried. "I should have guessed. What did you do to Sprite?"

Spoiler smiled sweetly. "Me? She said innocently. " I didn't do anything!"

"Then who did?" Leon asked.

Spoiler waved a finger in the air. The Book of Tricks flew out of Violet's hands and landed on the grass. The pages magically flipped until they stopped on one page.

"Finn the Wizard!" Violet read from the book. "What would he want with Sprite?"

"The wiz has got a big day tomorrow," Spoiler said. "He didn't' want Sprite to spoil things for him."

"You're the only one who spoils things," Violet said angrily. She turned to Leon. "Sprite's been kidnapped!" We've got to save him."

Spoiler shrugged. "I'm here to give you some advice. Don't try to find Sprite. You don't want to mess with Finn!"

"Tell us where his is!" Leon demanded.

Spoiler laughed. "No way. By tomorrow the wiz will be mayor of this town. And there's nothing you can do to stop him."

Then she threw some glittering pixie dust over herself.

Leon and Violet ran to Spoiler. They dived after her.

They were too late. Spoiler vanished.
