"Hey Terence!" Jason, a butterfly-herder called up to the dust-talent. Terence nodded as he poured fairy dust over his friend and flew on to the next pixie.
"Hello Terence!" Prilla exclaimed as she spotted him. Terence waved, dumping a cup of dust over her as well. "Fly carefully!" She added as he zipped away.Just before he could
make his way to Fawn, Terence spotted someone he had been longing to see all morning. The sparrow-man smiled softly and flew over to his friend. "Dulcie will be so happy to
have these for tonight." Lily, a gardening fairy, was explaining. She carefully pulled two wet raspberries from the moist dirt and put them in her hand-woven basket. "I'm hoping
she needs these to make her berry pudding. Other than Ever Fruit, that is my favorite…" Before Lily could finish, Terence flew up. "Hey Lily…" He gazed over at the blond-haired
fairy next to him. "Hey Tinker Bell." He grinned, holding up a brass teacup. It was overflowing with pixie dust. He poured some on Lily and then the rest on Tink. "Fly again soon."
The garden fairy commented but Terence wasn't ready to leave. "What are you two doing?"
"We're gathering raspberries for Dulcie." Terence nodded at Lily's explanation. "Huh, well…I brought something." Tinker Bell whipped around. Terence held out a smashed, rusty,
old bowl. He could see the delight in the tinker's shining eyes.
"That's in terrible shape Terence!" She exclaimed, gently taking the cooking utensil from him. "How did it get this way?" You have no idea. He thought to himself.
For years, Terence had been smashing, cracking, bending, breaking, scratching, and crushing anything he knew Tink would love to fix. The highlight of his day was seeing that she
liked whatever he had brought her.
Tinker Bell continued to stare down at it. "I should have this back to you by tonight. I just need to finish helping Lily with…"
"Go ahead Tink. You've been a huge help all morning. I know that you want to get back and fix some things." Tinker Bell smiled gratefully and quickly took off towards her
workshop.
"I'll come by a little bit later to see you!" Terence called out. He grinned softly once more and turned back to Lily. "Lily, I can help you after…what?" He asked, noticing her grin.
"Oh nothing…" She replied. Terence finally shrugged, shoving the teacup back into the dust pouch, resting on his shoulder. "Fly carefully." She finished with the same smile spread
across her face. The sparrow-man was still clueless but continued on through the meadow, pushing the incident out of his mind.
Terence continued his rounds, going to every fairy and sparrow-man and giving them their daily dose of pixie dust.
"Terence Dear," The dust-talent shuttered at the sound of her voice.
"Hey Vidia." He greeted reluctantly.
"Would you mind sprinkling Gabriella and me with some pixie dust?" The fast-flyer asked, motioning towards her friend. The dust-talent cocked an eyebrow, turning his attention
to the dark-haired fairy. Gabriella was new in Fairy Haven and her sassy attitude made her a perfect companion for Vidia.
"Of course, but I'm sure you have enough dust stored up for the both of you." All of Pixie Hollow knew Vidia had stolen pixie dust from Mother Dove.
"Just give us some and we'll be on our way." Vidia snapped, crossing her slender arms angrily. Terence shrugged and filled his teacup with the magical substance. As he showered Gabriella with it, she grinned up at him, sweetly.
"You're very sweet, Terence."
"Okay well, I'll see you two later." He forced as he hurried on his way.
Once he was out of sight, Vidia turned to her friend.
"Gabriella, we're not nice to anyone!" She reminded in disgust.
"Terence is sweet though." Gabriella insisted in a whiny voice.
"Well, in that case, I guess I'll just be on my way..."
"No, no Vidia, wait." Gabriella sighed. "But so what? I'm nice to Terence, what's the big deal?" Vidia stared at Gabriella, her mouth hanging open.
"Alright, listen here Sweetheart, no one, NO ONE who's sweet on someone is going to be hanging around me." With that, she zipped down towards The Home Tree.
"This isn't fair!" Gabriella crossed her arms and pouted angrily.
