As if on cue, Chiara's white dove flew past them and landed on Ilaria's arm.
"She came to life," Chia murmured. "Thanks to the two of us."
"It takes two to make miracles happen," said Ily. "Will you do the honors?"
Taking in a deep breath, Chiara nodded, and together, hand in hand, the sisters approached the lifeless Pinocchio.
Prove yourself brave, truthful, and unselfish, and someday you will be a real boy. She touched her wand to Pinocchio's head. "Awake, Pinocchio. Awake."
Magic brimmed across the young boy's still body, bringing him to life. His cheeks turned rosy, and his wooden nose became one made of flesh, the nails in his knees and elbows turning into joints and bone and muscle. Gone were his donkey ears and tail.
"Papa!" he spoke. "Papa, I'm alive!"
Geppetto rose from the sand, unable to believe his ears. But when he saw his dearest Pinocchio a real boy, his tears of sorrow turned to joy. He scooped his boy into his arms. "My son," he whispered. "You've come home."
Chiara watched them, her heart full of relief and gladness. This was what made her love being a fairy--- the tender moments of joy, the proof that hope was never in vain.”

Miaka! Elizabeth! Padma!
I lay on top of the water, throwing up water and the small bits of food they’d been trying to get me to eat. No more of that.
I was close enough to the house that I could see them running. When they hit the Ocean, She solidified for them so they could run across Her back to me.
“Kahlen?” Padma cried.
“She’s breathing!” Elizabeth’s words were echoing in my ears.
Carry her back. She cannot go in My waters. She can’t breathe.
Padma sucked in a breath. “Oh, no.”
“It’s worse than I thought,” Miaka whispered.
I’d have told her I could still hear her, but it took too much work to speak.
They lifted me effortlessly, carrying me across the edge of the Pacific, taking me into the house. I recognized the heat of the shower, the comfort of clean clothes, and the tender way Padma tucked me in, but I was so exhausted, so frightened, I couldn’t even say thank-you.”

“With the little information, we know. Whenever we point out red flags. We are told to mind our own business. Why do we want to police other people's behavior and tell them what to do with their lives, money, and bodies? when we try to say what might be wrong. You don’t want to hear the truth or to accept it because if you do listen. it means you must change. Take accountability and responsibility for your actions, but you don’t want to change your bad behavior. The reason is that you are enjoying it and you are benefiting a lot from it. For as long as we lie to each other. Support each other in doing bad things and bad behavior. We are still going to get hurt or worse might happen.”
