'Open this door NOW, Pixie.' 'Nuh-uh. I'm busy, Gabe.' 'Open it or I'll knock it down.' 'Your house. Your repair bill.' 'You're #fueling my paranoia! Open up.' 'Fine. Come in.' 'Oh no. I'm not fooling for that one. Last time I opened the door & got a glitter enema!' #vss365

'Pixie, is it meant to boil & spew purple steam?' 'That's the fun of inventing potions, Gabe. It might be fine. It might explode.' 'Shouldn't you be #nervous? 'Of coure. Once I add the last ingredient, I'm hiding behind you.' 'Hey! I'm an angel, not a blast shield.' #vss365

'Pixie, where's my dinner? It was here in the refrigerator.' 'Haven't seen it, Gabe... unless you mean that big steak.' 'That's exactly what I mean.' 'Oops. I used it for alligator #training.' 'We don't even have alligators?' 'We have since I showed them your dinner.' #vss365

'Pixie, why the aerodynamic catsuit & #sneakers? That's not your usual style.' 'Well, Gabe. Ever heard the yarn about two people & a bear?' 'You don’t have to outrun the bear, just the other-' 'Exactly.' 'PIXIE, WHAT HAVE YOU SUMMONED?!' 'Beats me. But it's behind you.' #vss365

'You're such a star, volunteering for the parole scheme, Gabe.' 'And to think, Pixie, in the #lottery of faeries I could have helped, I got... YOU.' 'Try that again, Gabe, with a smile this time. Of all the faeries you could have helped, hooray, you got ME!' Hmph! #vss365

'Did you have no idea when you invited her to stay, Pixie?' 'Entirely #unexpected, Gabe. First I knew was when I found twin dragonlings keeping warm in the fireplace. But don't worry, Dolly's a wonderful mother. You just need to keep the fire going for the next 6 months.' #vss365

'Relax, Gabe. I am 100% certain this will all go smoothly. Cross-my-heart, hope-to-die, bet-your-afterlife-on-it, #dead certain.' 'Pixie! Don’t say dead when I’m about to enter the mouth of a dragon you’ve somehow persuaded me to help with its toothache!' Giggle.'Sorry.' #vss365

'Did you hear that, Gabe? The Angel Council called me a hero.' 'It was hard to miss, Pixie.' 'I did show amazing #bravery saving the world.' 'I assumed it wasn't for your other outstanding quality... being annoying.' #vss365 Find out why in The Book Trap tinyurl.com/3ve49fnz

'There's a parcel for you, Pixie.' 'Excellent, my #sound cancelling earplugs.' 'Oh, ha, ha. I suppose they're for my harp recital.' 'Of course not, Gabe. I wouldn't dream of it. They're for your night-time snoring. Now I just need the air filter for your-' 'PIXIE!' #vss365

'I'm bored, Gabe.'' 'That's no reason to annoy me, Pixie... Hey, out of my cupboard!' Gasp. 'You've so much merch! You're a secret fan boy.' 'Go away.' 'Admit it.' 'FINE! I'm obsessed with #Delta Force: Angel Guardians of the Universe. Happy?' Giggle. 'ANGELS GO GO GO!' #vss365

'You're too quiet & #calm, Pixie. You're plotting something!' 'Me? What an outrageous accusation, Gabe. I'm just quietly reading the local village mag while snacking on pickled slugs.' Snatch! 'Hey, give me back the mag.' 'I knew it, Pixie!' 'Relax. It's only your diary.' #vss365

'Relax, Gabe, it was a tiny #quake. And helping the rock trolls was the kind thing to do. I mean, their home collapsed.' 'Is it really surprising with all their stomping & rock smashing?' 'Hmmm...' 'Go down to the cellar NOW, Pixie, & tell them they can't hibernate here.' #vss365

'Sorry, Gabe, but if you'd plugged your ears like I said, you wouldn't be under a #siren spell. And I wouldn't have to tie you up & pelt you with rotten eggs until you snap out of it.' 'Pixie! There is no siren.' 'Can't hear you, Gabe. Ears are plugged... eggs incoming!' #vss365

Morning all. The first thing this Pixie dreads in the morning? Gabe's shower solo. Today: an 80s classic, wailed at full volume. 'It's a #Sin.' Windows slam up and down the street. It's time to reach for the hot water switch. 'Enough, Gabe. Your audience has spoken!' #vss365

Who, oh who, could the Queen possibly be talking about? We all know Pixie is trouble… but how did she end up under Gabe’s not-so-effective thumb? 😂 If you’re curious, you can find out in The Shadow Deception. But beware the Pixie pranks. #vss365 #Island tinyurl.com/235xw2sr

'Pixie, there's only so long you can #sail so close to the wind before you get in trouble. Mark my words. One, day, you'll get burned.' 'Not if I'm sailing, Gabe. There'll be all that water.' 'You're impossible, Pixie.' Giggle. 'And you're so funny. Mixing metaphors.' #vss365

'Pixie! My kitchen! It's a soaking wreck.' 'Thor & I had a competition, Gabe. Best #hurricane.' 'In MY kitchen?!' 'I used a colander full of water. Speed flew. Caused quite a stir. Thor, the show off, used his hammer, & BOOM.' 'WHY NOT OUTSIDE, PIXIE?! OUTSIDE.' '...oh.' #vss365

'Gabe, you're a sneaky, cheating, no-good, back stabbing, treacherous, feather-duster!' 'Why do you #harbour such negative feelings for me, Pixie?' 'You know why! You ate MY half of the brownie.' Sob. 'Maybe I was just keeping it safe. Here.' Gasp. 'Gabe, I love you.' #vss365
