RITHIka's Thoughts on Book 9:

FAIRY IDOL
KANON-PART 2
By Mera Hakamada

When we last left off,the girls had screamed , "is he scouting us!?.."
Let's get on with the rest of the story.

Meanwhile in the land of fairies,Alto had to go to the Rejuvenation Temple to get her wand fixed.It was deep in the Sealed ForestThe way to the Rejuvenation Temple was protected by terrible monsters!Their weakness was a beautiful voice.With that Alto started to sing.Two birds by her died because of her horrible sound!She wished that Kanon was there to help her.

Then she thought of a plan.She knew that the real world and the land of fairies was connected by clean water.She went to a fountain and started calling for Kanon.Kanon was outside of a pool.She heard Alto's voice and jumped into the pool.When she got out of the water,she was in the land of fairies!On Alto's request to help her,Kanon sang in her beautiful voice.After singing to monsters and answering a riddle to the statues,They had to fight a Gigantic Wand Snatching Dragon.But they couldn't because Kanon's voice was not powerful enough to defeat the dragon.She went to a fountain and started calling for Kodama and Marika.

Kodama and Marika heard Kanon and jumped into the pool to help her.And they started singing together and defeated the Dragon.The four girls made it to the Rejuvenation Temple.The fairy who was fixing the wand in the temple was Alto's Grandma!She tried to fix the wand,but the energy was too low.Kodama,Marika and Kanon started to sing again and the power overwhelmed!The wand was fixed.They all went on a flying carpet to the palace to show Alto's mom the new wand.They had a grand party in the palace,but the Dark fairies who use black magic for hatred and harm were more active.

After the party, it was bed-time.Alto told them not to explore the palace for it was quite dangerous.But that tempted them to explore it more!!They bumped into many scary stuff like skeletons,talking food and even a ghost!Last they bumped into a painting of Alto and another Fairy.Alto who was in search for them, finally found them looking at the picture and crying with fear.Alto explained that all the stuff they saw were just tricks to scare off visitors.She told the fairy next to her in the painting was her bigger sister, Sharp,who was missing!

The next morning they went home.Later,on receiving an invitation from the manager, they went to the recrd label.They found out that Julia was working there and also Sharp ,who was a dark fairy now, was with Julia.The manager wanted the girls to perform in a show named "You can laugh".But they had to learn how to dance.Their dance teacher,Mr.Afro was actually the manager himself in disguise.After dance class,everyone except Kanon got the moves right.Alto told her that dancing is about having fun not about getting the correct moves.The next day Kanon got all the moves right!

They were on the "You can laugh" audition.On their way,they met a man who dropped papers.They helped him just to pick up the papers.They got their costumes, but before putting them on, they did a little practice.After they were done,a girl yelled that her stomach hutrs and needed to go to hospital.Kodama,Marika and Kanon took her to the hospital.When they came back,they found their costumes were ruined.And if they didn't make it in their costumes,they couldn't perform.And they were forced to go in their own dress.Alto saw them running to the stadium.She waved her wand and they all got dressed in their costumes!

They performed and they passed the audition for two reasons.One for their great singing and another for their kindness.The girl they helped was actually one of the "You can Laugh" judges. Another surprise waiting for them was the owner of the show,Mr.Tario.He was the same man whom they helped to pick up the papers.Mr.Tario welcomed them to be the new judges of the great show!!

PS.Iam waiting to read the third volume.Iam sure that Sharp will be saved from the evil hands of Julia.But how?Let's wait and see.
