honest! And then it happened…….. Across the crowded room, Luna heard someone calling Dandy. ‘‘Dandy where are you? I need your help so much!!!!’’ Luna then saw him! Dandy came rushing across the room carrying a huge fairy hat along with a tutu. He knew straight away that he was the ONE!!! It was love/lust at first sight! ‘Dandy’ he thought to himself ‘this is the man of my dreams.’ He climbed up onto a fairy glass table and started to sing! Yes! Luna started to sing! Olive and Willow looked on wide-mouthed as they didn’t even know that Luna could sing let alone serenade! He sang in the most melodious voice ‘Love lifts me up where I belong.’ As if this wasn’t enough he then broke into ‘You are my Destiny.’ His mamma Destiny flew up to the table alongside him and started dancing with him. She thought ‘It’s my namesake, so I am going to!’ As Dandy stood looking on in awe, the fairy manager came out from behind the till and said ‘‘what do you fairies think you are doing? Have you gone mad? We are not on a film set from Glee you know.’’ It then hit Luna what had happened. He looked around for Sunshine and Rainbow to spread the peace as he was convinced that this was one time they really needed it, maybe he should try it. ‘‘Peace man’’ he said. The fairy manager did not look amused ‘‘what’s your problem fairy?’’ Luna took a big gulp and slowly flapped his pink wings and dropped to the floor with his mamma following in quick pursuit. ‘‘Sorry sir, I just got carried away in the moment.’’ With that he made a hasty retreat towards Olive who couldn’t contain her excitement as she had just found THE dress, realized her brother was gay and could sing all in a flash of a fairy wing……… Luna followed Olive into the dressing room. They were both giggling. Willow was slumped over in the corner laughing so hard she thought she was going to die ‘‘why on earth did you sing Luna? I will remember that moment for the rest of my life!’’ ‘‘I bet Dandy will remember it more he chuckled to himself!’’ Ha ha! So the plan was that Olive would invite Dandy to her 18 th and then Luna could take it from there without any further ado. Dandy felt slightly flushed and fascinated by the little fairy with the huge voice. ‘‘ Mio Dio! OMG!’ he thought. ‘That has never happened to me before. When the fairy manager came out from behind the till all flushed and furious, he felt he just wanted to join in and sing back to the fairy ‘you are in my heart, you are in my Soul’ but, didn’t want to be too forward.’ He was so happy to be thrust an 18 th birthday invitation before the fairies left. He was amused by the colourful fairies giving the peace signs and saying ‘big up!’ It turned out that Dandy was born Theo. He knew that he felt different to other boys his age quite early on. His parents had brought him up to believe he should be true to himself, be who he is and not pretend to be something he wasn’t. Because of this he was able to embrace his sexuality and lived his life the way God intended. If only things were that simple for Luna…. There was lots of singing and good cheer all the way back to the olive tree houses, everyone was in high spirits. Destiny was a little quieter than usual because she knew that things would have to be explained to Cielo about Luna but, she would take care of that all in her own time.
