Moonlight washed over the old garden. [Child's Name] stepped to the back fence and spotted something tiny hovering near the weeds.
The tiny fairy tapped the old door and whispered, "Ready?" A silver glow spilled from the crack underneath.
[Child's Name] pushed the door open and stepped through the silver light.
A pink bird hopped onto a branch. "What's something you've lost?" [Child's Name] pulled a blue stone from their pocket.
"This one," said [Child's Name]. The bird chittered and flew on. Then a bunny appeared with a glowing lantern.
"What's something you've found?" [Child's Name] pointed toward the fence. "That one." The lantern flared gold.
The fairy led [Child's Name] to a ring of moonflowers at the garden's center. They began to sway — left, right, swirl.
A gentle hum filled the air. "What's your favorite sound?" the flowers seemed to ask. [Child's Name] closed their eyes and listened.
[Child's Name] giggled. The flowers spun faster and scattered shimmering petals everywhere.
The fairy landed on [Child's Name]'s finger. "This whole garden lives inside your imagination," it chimed.
[Child's Name]'s eyes went wide. The fairy drifted toward the door, its glow pulsing softly. [Child's Name] followed.
[Child's Name] stepped back through the door. It clicked shut. Then [Child's Name] ran inside, already dreaming of tomorrow night.
