Their first night outside


They watched SparkleBerry walk away through the bushes. It felt a little bit scary to be alone in this new place. It has been really quiet as all the BabySparkles had been watching. There old home was now high in the sky. A strange sight to be here and only being able to look at where they once lived so happily. Then it was as if all the creatures in their new home suddenly began to sing at the same time. A nice welcome song just for them.

One by one, someone new would fly, walk, or crawl by their spot in the woods. Everyone was talking to someone different. A symphony of words and sounds played between the newly arrived BabySparkles and those who had always lived here. Each having their own story and so curious about who the BabySparkles were and why they had never seen anything like them.

Diamond and Sapphire were busy making all sorts of SparkleGraphs in the night air. Their friends were dazzled by the multicolored display of lights as everyone joined in the dance.
Slowly, everyone left until no other new friends were left with them. The BabySparkles could see the bright light start to glow in the sky and they knew it was time to get back home. Their day was ending as the sun rose to light up their strange new home. Life was full of surprises.


"None of them are like us", whined Diamond. "They are really scary. I don't like different things that scare me." Ruby flew up near her and softly fanned Diamond with her wings.

"Everyone is different. Look at me and you", Ruby said softly. "I have a red tail and you have a yellow tail. Different can be fun and does not have to be scary. Did you like those Plumnickle berries?"

But we are sisters, smiled Diamond. "And yes, I loved those new berries.

Exactly said Ruby. Those berries are different than any you have every eaten. They were delicious and different. Different can be really good. We sisters are all different but we still love each other. Now, we must go home. We can do more fun things tomorrow. With that, all of them flew toward the tree they now called home.

BabySparkles start to explore


The BabySparkles slept in their new home for the first time. Soon, they would get used to the bright light by staying in their dark home during the day. When the stars would come out, so would the BabySparkles. Night time in this strange land was a lot closer to their old home on the moon. So they started to explore their new world at night.

Onyx flew out in the evening twilight and he was followed by the rest of his sisters. Onyx was always the one to go first since he was the boy. They were out looking for fun. It didn't take them long to run into SparkleBerry. All their question came out at the same time. SparkleBerry just laughed as he was not able to understand a single one.

"Slow down", he laughed.

They all stopped talking and looked at each other. Sapphire started to speak first.

"SparkleBerry, what do you call this place?", asked Sapphire

"We call it Berry Patch.", he said. "It is full of all kinds of berries. My favorite is the Plumnickle berry. This part of the forest is full of all my friends and anything you would like to eat. Here, Sapphire, try a Plumnickle berry. She smiled really big and shared this delicious treat with all her sisters and brother. This was going to be a really fun place to live.

"Where is your family?", asked Ruby.

"I will let you meet them sometime." "They will enjoy you a lot", smiled SparkleBerry.

"Are you really strong and tough?", said Onyx.

"Not, so much.", responded SparkleBerry. "I get along with everyone." "I just like to eat."


"Enough questions.", said SparkleBerry. "It is time for me to go to sleep now. You can tell me all about the BabySparkles tomorrow. Have fun tonight but be careful."

About me

About me
My name is Allison and I am a social worker helping special needs children in the Appalachian Mountain region of Tennessee and Virginia. I guess you could call me a hillbilly since we live in the mountains. When I have some spare time, I work on the BabySparkles and their story.

BabySparkle Sparklegraphs

The baby sparkles use their lights differently than the common on-off blinking of the standard firefly.
They sign complex patterns that are called sparklegraphs. These sparkgraphs are examples of their emotions, their names, and the things they like to do.
