'Pixie, you're incorrigible. The local witches coven is up in arms at the googly eyes you stuck on their broomsticks. I never would have behaved like that when I was young.' 'Really, Gabe?' Giggle. 'Back in the #distant mammoth & sabre tooth tiger days?' 'What?! Hmph!' #vss365

'Awww, Gabe. It was going to be an epic prank of awesome proportions. What gave it away?' 'Well, Pixie, your stifled giggles were a hint, & the fact you were being helpful was quite frankly alarming. But the #quietus? You'd behaved for almost an hour. Unheard of.' #vss365

'Friday night, Pixie. I'll be watching a film. Will you be joining me?' 'Absolutely, Gabe. My plan is a good movie, & #consuming these brownies.' 'Oh, well done, Pixie. A box of 24. That will see us through nicely.' 'Us, Gabe? US! Get you're own. These are ALL mine!' #vss365

HANDS OFF! READING THIS DIARY IS #FORBIDDEN. THAT MEANS YOU, PIXIE! Silly, Gabe. I've seen off the Basilisk guard, unravelled his angel glyphs, & picked 6 locks. After all that effort to get to it, does he think telling me it's forbidden will work? Now... where was I...? #vss365

'Pixie, are you sure we're not lost?' 'Absolutely, Gabe.' 'I'm all tangled in this #deadfall.' 'That's not deadfall, Gabe... that's a pixie trap.' 'What do y-' SPLATTER SPLATTER SPLATTER 'Pixie! Rotten blackberries.' Giggle. 'Were blackberries. Now they're ammunition.' #vss365

'Honestly, Gabriam, do you not dust? Look how thick it is behind the fridge!' Giggle. 'As for YOU, Pixie. You're always fluttering around. You should have noticed!' 'Psst, Gabe. How long is your #mother staying?' 'Too long.' 'I heard that, Gabriam!' #vss365

'No, Gabe... Tell me it's not true.' Gulp. 'I'm sorry, Pixie, but... she's got a suitcase.' 'Nooooo. The #horror. How could you let this happen! You're mother has come to stay.' #vss365

I #cradle my precious cargo from every bump & gust of pixie flight. It's far too important to risk. Only when grumpy Gabe and his angel pals are tiny specks below do I bid my passenger farewell, letting it fall into their midst. The stink bomb detonates on arrival. #vss365

'Well, just thank you soooo much, Pixie. Because of you & your whoopie cushion, I will now be known for #evermore by the Angel Council as The Farter.' Giggle. 'My pleasure, Gabe.' #vss365

'Put my hand in the bag, Pixie? Have a biscuit? Do you really think I'm #falling for that trick? They'll be slug slime or a snake in there.' 'Suit yourself, Gabe.' Munch. 'Yum.' 'Fine. Let me have one... owwwwww. There's a crab in there!' 'Giggle. 'They're his biscuits.' #vss365

'Ha! In your face, Gabe. I win.' 'Oh, stop being so childish, Pixie. Crowing over some #victory nobody cares about.' 'Really? You're quite happy to have Victoria Sponge or lemon curd pie while I eat the last brownie?' '...' Scuffle 'Hey! Not fair, Gabe. Give that back.' #vss365

'Wow, Gabe, look at all these brochures of exotic places.' 'Yes, my brother brought them around. Said I should take a #gamble on you passing your parole hearing this year, Pixie, & book a summer holiday.' 'Really? What did you say?' 'Pfft! No chance.' #vss365

'The noise could have been anything, Gabe. I mean, it's the #midnight hour when witches & goblins & all sorts of nefarious creatures roam.' 'It's also the hour when a certain Pixie creeps around the kitchen stealing brownies... & look, crumbs.' 'Oops... evidence eaten.' #vss365

'What you're saying, Gabe, is that faeries are #primitive.' 'Not per se, Pixie, just compared to angels. There's no need to take offense.' 'No offense taken, Gabe. And I hope you won't be offended when I say angels are elitist, self-important, feathered middle managers.' #vss365

'Look, Gabe. See how it glistens - how its surface fractures under the strain of such promise. See the shimmering heat. The scent of dark alchemy. The way it yields beneath my fingertips. We stand in the presence of greatness. A #wondrous sight. A freshly cooked brownie.' #vss365
