Merci sniffed the air, his nose twitching with excitement. Wyatt, with his wild curls and adventurous spirit, tugged at his backpack, while Bella, her pigtails bouncing, clutched her favorite stuffed bunny. "Let's find some treasure, Merci!", Wyatt exclaimed, his eyes sparkling with mischief.

Merci led the way, barking happily as he zigzagged through the underbrush. Bella giggled, trying to keep up with Wyatt's energetic pace. "Do you think we'll see fairies?", she asked, eyes wide with wonder. "Maybe! Let's keep our eyes peeled," replied Wyatt.

Wyatt and Bella gasped in awe as they approached the castle, with Merci wagging his tail beside them. "Woof!" Merci barked, as if urging them to enter. "Let's see what's inside!" Wyatt declared, pushing the door open with a creak.

Bella tiptoed through the hall, her bunny clutched tight. She spotted a hidden door partially concealed by a tapestry. "Look, Wyatt! A secret door!" Bella whispered excitedly. "Let's open it," Wyatt replied, pulling on the handle.

Merci bounded forward, sniffing curiously at the fairies, who giggled at his antics. Bella clapped her hands in delight, while Wyatt watched in amazement. "It's magic, Bella! Real magic!" Wyatt exclaimed, eyes wide with wonder.

Bella yawned, leaning against Wyatt as they retraced their steps through the forest. "I can't wait to tell Mommy about the fairies," she murmured sleepily. "And the secret garden," Wyatt added, his voice filled with contentment. Merci trotted beside them, his tail wagging, as they returned to their backyard, already dreaming of their next adventure.
