didn’t answer—because he wasn’t really there.
    Tinker Bell was lying on the floor of the forest with a big bump on her head. As if by some strange magic, she felt as if she had traveled back in time. She was watching Terence and herself arguing in her house.
    She saw the broken pieces of the scepter on the floor. “You! You brought this stupid thing here!” she shouted at Terence. “You broke the scepter. This is your fault.”
    Terence looked stricken and sad. “Tink, I was just trying to be a good friend.”
    “Go away!” Tinker Bell yelled. “Leave me alone!”
    Terence’s face turned from sad to angry. “Fine. And this is the last time I try to help you!” He opened his wings and flew away, disappearing into the clouds.
    Tinker Bell immediately regretted her angry words. “Terence. Terence. No. Come back. Don’t leave. Don’t leave. Don’t …”
    Suddenly, she realized that she wasn’t really watching Terence or herself. She hadn’t really traveled back in time. She had been dreaming. Now she was awake, alone, and calling out for Terence.
    She shook her head to clear it. What had happened? The she remembered—she had been chasing her balloon and had hit a tree. “Blaze! Where are you? Blaze?”
    Tinker Bell’s heart began to sink. She had been pretty harsh with Blaze. Maybe he had run away from her, too, just like Terence.
    But Blaze buzzed over and hovered at her side. Tink threw her arms around him, glad of the little bug’s company. “Oh, Blaze, what am I going to do? I lost my balloon. I lost my pixie dust. I’m starving. What have I done?”
    Blaze wriggled out of her grasp and zoomed away.
    Tinker Bell dropped her face into her hands. Blaze was abandoning her, too. She really didn’t blame him. She’d botched things up. Why would he feel any loyalty to her? Suddenly, something brushed up against Tinker Bell’s ankle and she let out a shriek.
    She looked down and saw that it was only a harmless pill bug! Startled by her cry, he curled up into a tight ball.
    Tinker Bell’s face turned red. How embarrassing! But it was only natural to be nervous. After all, she was alone in a strange forest.
    But when Tink lifted her eyes, her brows flew upward in amazement. She wasn’t alone. In fact, she was surrounded by friendly butterflies, ladybugs, bees, and more pill bugs. Blaze hadn’t abandoned her—he had gone out and gathered up as much company to comfort her as he could find.
    Tink gave the little pill bug that had startled her a pat. He uncurled himself and crawled into her lap. A group of bees came flying over and offered her a large honeycomb. “Oh!” Tinker Bell smiled. “Thank you.” She quickly swallowed several big drops of the sweet honey.
    Another pill bug inched forward, balancing a leaf filled with fresh dew. Tink scooped it up and drank it down. Ahhh! Her thirst was immediately quenched.
    Refreshed, Tinker Bell began to feel better. She beamed at her bug companions. “Wow. That hit the spot. Thank you so much.”
    Blaze buzzed around, blinking his light to signal his happiness.
    Tinker Bell leaned down and drew a picture of the arch in the dirt. “We’re lost,” she told her new friends, hoping they’d be able to help. “By any chance, have you seen a stone arch around here?”
    A huge swarm of bees lifted Tinker Bell to her feet and pushed her in the direction of the jungle. All the bugs and butterflies hovered and buzzed, urging her to fly. But Tinker Bell couldn’t get off the ground. “Oh, no! I’m out of pixie dust. Looks like I’ll be walking from here.”
    She spotted something on the ground. “My compass!” She ran to it. It had obviously fallen out of the balloon basket when it had drifted away. Now it lay in pieces on the ground. She leaned over to inspect it. “Ouch!” She accidentally poked herself with the needle. Now she understood why Terence had brought her the compass. “That is a sharp thingy, Terence,” she muttered. She stuck the needle
