Happy (Belated) International Fairy Day! Do you think Miss Abby would leave out treats for fairies?

Zombie!! 🥰
This is the first time I've heard of International Fairy Day but it definitely seems like something The Gumdrops would be interested in! 😊
It's International Fairy Day and you and Bucky have the Gumdrops for the day. All 3 are dressed up as fairies with wings.
"You know what's, Mr Bucky?" Chloe's hand is held securely in Bucky's vibranium one, as they make their way down the sidewalk.
A small chuckle escapes Bucky, "Nope, what, Chloe?" The similarities of his daughter's best friends aren't lost on him.
"I so 'cited it's Fairy Day! Too bad A'pine no can comes wit us." Chloe's fallen in love with the family cat and she's the only Gumdrop that Alpine will tolerate.
Mia chimes in from Bucky's right side, "Me too, Mr Bucky!"
"And me, Papa!" Abby yells from behind. He glaces back at Abby holding your hand, doing her version of skipping by your side, fairy wings bouncing with every stride. "I so 'cited!"
Your little group is headed to "Books of Wonder," an independent bookstore that specializes in children's literature in Midtown Manhattan. They have an in-store event for Fairy's Day, with storytelling & crafts. You thought it'd be perfect for the little girls.
You arrive and there's a good crowd of children that showed up. Bucky helps you check the girls in & you're directed to the back of the store, where they are getting ready to start storytime. "You sit wit us, Mama."
"Thank you, Abby, but I'm too big. They need room for the other children. I'll be right over there with Papa," you say pointing to Bucky leaning against the bookshelf waving as he sees you looking his way.
"Ok, but don't weave us here."
"Never!! I promise. We'll be right there."
The storyteller read them 3 stories and had them get ready for crafts. They rolled up the carpets and brought in little tables and chairs.
"Mama! We can make faiwy wands or faiwy HOUSES!" Abby and the girls are all hopping up and down."
Knowing it's the wrong answer, Bucky asks, "So, we're making wands?"
"No, Mr Bucky!"
"We want houses so we can leave snacks and dey come visit wit us!"
"Papa, you know how cool it will be when we has fairy fwends?? We puts snacks in da houses so dey want to visits us."
"Ooooh! I understand now." The girls shake their heads at Bucky. Silly old man.
