     Ever get out of bed in the morning with hair 

that is completely unrecognizable?   Ever question 

how that happened?   There is a magical being that 

exists that very few people know about. 

I know only because I caught the creature in a 

trap. 

     One morning, I stared in the mirror curiously with my eyes 

half opened. I let out a yawn.   My eyes suddenly widened. What 

the heck? My hair looked like I had been rolling around wrestling 

an alligator in my sleep.   "Mom!” I wailed from the bathroom to 

the hallway. She was busy getting ready for work and getting 

ready to drop me and my brother off to school. “Are you okay?"  

She replied.

"Ya! I have a question for you!" I roared back.

“Well, we will talk about it in the car!" she demanded.  

     In the bathroom, I took both of my hands and ran them 

under the cool running water under the faucet. I cupped my 

hands so that it made a bowl like shape. The water quickly filled 

and was overflowing from my hands. I splashed the water onto 

my blond hair. I glanced back in the mirror and shot the mirror 

a smile. I make this look good I thought to myself as I gave a 

big smirk in the mirror.

       Over the next 20 to 30 minutes I finished getting ready for 

school.

"LOGAN,Let's GO!" my mom yelled from the van. I ran quickly 

through the kitchen into the garage and slammed the door. 

“You had a question for me?" mom inquired.

 "Ya! You know in the morning when you wake up?" I muttered.

Yes," mom responded.

  “I was wondering how come your hair gets so messed 

up? I mean, I resemble a person who stuck their finger 

in an electrical socket!" I continued. My mother started 

to explain.

 "My mom told me there was a mystical creature 

called a bed fairy that entered our rooms every night. 

They compete each night for who can make the biggest 

nest." my mom said with a warm smile.

 "Oh! That is way too cool! I just thought that it was 

from me tossing and turning all night."

     I was very intrigued by this. I wanted to meet a bed fairy! I 

was curious as to what they looked like. I questioned what they 

ate. I cruised through the school day and all I could think about 

was the bed fairies.

     That afternoon I established a plan to make a trap and try to 

catch a bed fairy.   I analyzed the situation and got a brilliant 

idea. I decided to put that sticky goo stuff that mom always puts 

in her hair, in my hair. That way when the bed fairy comes to 

make a nest in my hair, it will get stuck.

     That night at the dinner table, I placed my fork on my plate. 

“All done! May I be excused?" I asked my mom.

“Sure," mom agreed.

       I ran up the old wooden stairs as quickly as I could. I

 dodged the toys that I left out and headed for my parents room. 

I squatted down and opened the cabinets. There must 

be something in here for me to use.   I read the labels; 

toothpaste, nah too messy and not enough stick I thought to 

myself. Vaseline;that would make the bed fairies slide right out of 

my hair.   Aqua net super hold hair spray! That is it! I will use

some hair spray to catch a bed fairy.

     PSHHHPSPPSH! I held the trigger down for about 1 

minute waving my arms back and forth while inhaling the 

horrible smell. I better catch a one I concluded.

     I skipped down the hallway and entered my bedroom. 

With a big jump, I climbed onto my twin size bed. I wiggled 

back and forth to get comfortable. As soon as my head hit 

the pillow, I was asleep.

  Beep, Beep, Beep! "ughhh…" I groaned. Suddenly, I 

remembered that I tried to catch a bed fairy in my hair. I jumped 

out of bed, jogged across the hall to the bathroom. I looked in 

the mirror. My hair was a mess alright. A big mess. I grabbed my 

comb and then started to take the comb down the back of my 

hair.

" HEY! HEY! STOP!"   I heard a tiny voice say.

     My heart began to beat faster. My breath suddenly got 

shorter. My eyes widened and I stared in the mirror. I couldn't 

believe my eyes. Caught in my hair was an interesting creature. 

It was about the size of a grape. It looked to be a girl with short 

blond hair. She was wearing a purple dress that came to her 

ankles. One of her pink wings were caught in my hair. There 

was a massive knot. Now that I caught the bed fairy, I didn't 

know what to do. I had no clue how I would get her out.

   “YES! Once the sun comes up I have to be back in our hiding 

places or I will turn to dust!" She hissed.

   “Okay, well what should do, I could cut your wing." I taunted.

    “How would I be able to fly then?” she blurted.

     "Good point!" I noted.

     “I KNOW!" I busted out. “I will cut my hair and set you free! 

It’s just hair and it will grow back.”

     The bed fairy agreed that was an excellent idea.
