When your wings are wet...

KNOCK... KNOCK... THUMP... On went the pounding to the old wooden door of the only bathroom in the Goodie's cottage.  "Will you hurry up!" shouted Goodie4u through the keyhold on the oak door.  "You have been in there for hooooouuuurs and we need to get moving if we are to make it to the castle in time!"

​Goodiegood knew that she needed to hurry but she continued to stare at herself in the reflection glass.  "But I have just washed my wings!" she muttered.

They weren't dry yet and actually as she looked at herself, they were pretty sad looking.  One drooped over her shoulder and the other one was still a bit  frazzled on the bottom.  "What am I going to do?" she thought to herself.  

"Oh, what I would give to have a Dusty Myte drop in now.  With their long nose for cleaning, they would have my sloppy wet wings dry in a licky split moment,"  thought Goodiegood as she remembered those helpful friends of the house brownie, Granny Flare.  

"I am at least glad I finally found my shoes," Goodiegood murmured to herself.  "Even if they were hidden under that pile of Goodie2shues' shoes."  As she was still trying to figure out what to do about her wings and hoping to make the situation better, she started to send herself positive thoughts.

​​As she wiggled her toes, she soon smiled.  "The little flower accent really makes my feet look smaller I think.  I will have to wear them more often," she decided as she looked down at her now favorite pair of shoes.  But as she looked back up she saw in the looking glass her saggy wings were making her look like she had visited the cookie jar one too many times this season.

Discouraged, Goodiegood turned around to open the door for her sister.  As soon as she did, Goodie4u's hand popped in holding a bottle.  "Try this sister," she told her.  "Spray it on your wings and do hurry up!"  Goodiegood looked down at the label which read 'Gloss-i-mare Canned Air ' and thought "what do I have to lose" and proceeded to spray it on her wings.  Instantly they were dry and so shiny.  "Oh, where did you find this miracle worker?" asked Goodiegood to her sister.  

"You would be amazed at some of the things the Peddler has in his shop, but don't worry about that now," replied Goodie4u.  "We have already missed the Winter Solstice and I am afraid that things are going to get worse if we don't arrive there soon."

With that being said, and her wings finally dried, Goodiegood put on her hat and picked up her mixing bowl as she called out to her sisters.  "Don't forget the Spoon," and proceeded out the door of the cottage as if she had been the one waiting for them to be ready.  Soon they were on the trail to the Shadows' King's castle, hoping they were not too late to do their part in trying to save the Realm.
