Good news, readers! The crimson cloud that drifted over Neptune Falls has finally disappeared. Our meteorologist, Dr. Sunny Flufferfoot, says this is the first time on record a cloud has stayed fixed over town long enough to make him worry it might turn into pink rain, but it held off. No need for umbrellas.

​

Birthday wishes also seem to be back in proper working order. No more mix‑ups like last week’s “I wished for a bike and got ballet slippers” situation. Reports show wishes are matching their requests again, which is a relief to everyone involved.

​

There have been no new giant sightings today, which hopefully means nothing BIG is currently going on. We remain cautiously optimistic.

​

In other news, I had a very exciting moment at lunch this afternoon.  I looked up and saw a bright yellow streak shoot across the sky. Naturally, I assumed it was either a Messenger Fairy or a miniature UFO. I began taking notes immediately.

Then I discovered my glasses had mustard on them from my sandwich.

​

Still, I’m keeping the case open. You never know when magic might show itself again.
