The Nighttime Faeries
We all know the story of Tinkerbell and her fairy friends. The Gardeners and Fast Flyers, Water and Animal fairies, not to mention the other Tinkers. Now, they're all very nice and helpful and bursting with energy. However, they're not the only ones. The fairies you know are only the beginning for when the sun goes down and moon comes up and all the little fairies are snug in their beds, that's when the Night flyers emerge; and this story is about them.
Now don't get me wrong, the day fairies and the night fairies know eachother quite well. For Once every season, they meet for a ball. It is held on top of the tallest tree in neverland, it's known as, the Elder Tree. These balls take place on the Solstice and the Equinox. They last a full day and night. Followed by a day and night of resting, But there is one more ball, it is on the first of spring and lasts three days and three nights. Of course it is also followed by three days and three nights of resting. And this is where our story begins, on the last day of resting.
"Look out!" A cry echoed across the dark waters of the pond. A pebble flew threw the air and splashed into the waters, breaking the reflection of the stars. "Sorry, sorry, are you alright?"
"Weimer!" Cedar shouted, attempting to crawl back onto her lily pad, where she had been sitting with Duck. (Duck is a fairy too) They were both water fairies and were used to getting wet, but the fact that they had to get their wings dried all over again, which took quite a bit of time, was just a little upsetting.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Wiemer apologized again. "Your alright aren't you?"
"Yes, we're fine," Duck said pleasantly. "But we could use some asisstants with our wings," Duck jutted her thumb back at her sopping wings.
"Right, I'll find someone," He assured them. "Sorry," Cedar plopped down on her lily pad and crossed her arms to wait for a fastflying fairy to dry her wings. It is impossible for a fairy to fly with wet wings, and being out at night did nothing to help that matter.
Wiemer game zipping back to them with Tumble, a fast flying fairy, right behind him. "Good, good your here," Cedar exclaimed. Tumble stepped around her to face her wings and began gathering her magic to command the winds. A small breeze blew around Cedar's wings and slowly, their shine came back to them as they dried out. Tumble finished both Cedar and Duck in record time, magic was at it's highest since she had not needed to work in the past few says.
"Thanks," Duck said as Tumble pushed off the lily pad to leave.
"No prob call me if you need me again," She answered with a wave and headed back to her friends. When she's left them, they had been choosing the seeker for a game of hide and seek tag, a favorite game of the fairies.
"I'm sorry," She heard Wiemer apologize again behind her to Duck and Cedar. Tumble continued on without a glance back.

"FOUND YOU!" There was a russle of leaves, a tinkle of fairy dust and a stream of gold light shot out of a bush. It zoomed straight for stone tablet half bearied in the soil, followed closley by a green light. Before the gold light could close in the last two inches, the green light put a power boost and knocked the gold light off course where they both landed in a patch of mushrooms. To the normal human ears, the only thing that would have been heard were a few bells, after all that's the sound that a fairy makes. But in their own language, the fairies could be heard saying things along the lines of this:
"Ha ha, I caught you, It's your turn to be it," Tilli chirped into Cameron's ear.
"But I was it last time," Cameron complained.
"To bad, I caught you, your it," Tilli trilled again. Cameron pouted and refused to budge from her spot on the ground.
"What's going on? Did you catch her or not?" The voice of Labrynth asked from above the mushroom.
"I caught her but she doesn't want to be it," Tilli explained, raising he own voice so it could heard through the mushroom top.
"Ya' have ta' play by the rules dearie or you can't play at all," Labrynth fluttered down to talk to Cameron face to face.
"Fine, I didn't want to play this stupid game anyways," Cameron pouted with new anger.
"Your the one who suggested it," Labrynth said in a monotone.
"No I didn't," Tilli and Labrynth glance at eachother, they both knew full well that she had suggested it, this was just another one of her denial cycles she went through everytime she backed herself into a corner.
"Fine, don't play, we'll have fun without you," Labrynth took off back to the stone tablet where the other players were already gathering. Tilli followed her, leaving Cameron to pout alone.
"So whose it?" Foxglove asked when they reached the group. There were seven other players; foxglove, Stripe, Chip, Bella, Rorrim, Russle, and Rook.
"Dunno, Cameron got tapped but she bailed on us," Labrynth explained.
"So who wants to be it?" Rorrim asked looking around the group. No one volunteered. "Alright, rock paper scissors then," The entire group faced a partner and bounced their fists in the air.
"Rock, Paper, Scissors," They all chanted. In this round, the losers were: Stripe, Chip, Rorrim, and Labrynth. They paired up again leaving Rorrim and Chip as the tye breakers.
"Rock, Paper, Scissors,"
"Scissors beat rock! ha!" Rorrim danced in circle with victory while Chip slumed her shoulders with defeat.
"One, two, three, four," after checking that her eyes were indeed closed, the other zoomed off in different directions (one advantage of wings is that no one can hear which way you go). "Five, si- Hey! Wait a sec, Scissors don't beat rock!" But it was too late since everyone had hidden by now.

A smaller group of fairies sat around a pink tulip head filled with water droplets. One or two of them at a time would cup their hands pull one out to sip it down. Most of them had to be fast, but two of, Gypsy and Cassandra who were water fairies, were able to sit down and for quite a while with them nestled in their hands.
"That Tinkerbell was a little odd i have to admit," Gypsy was saying.
"I liked her, she seemed nice," Kat (fast flyer) argued.
"Oh, nice enough but a little on the dimwitted side," Gypsy answered.
"Oh, you find fault with everyone," Cassandra said with a smile.
"Yeah, well so what?" Another fairy landed behind her.
"Hey, Tumble, what's up?" Kit asked after she finished off the last of her droplet.
"I can't seem to find anybody," Tumble said with an air of bewilderment.
"You found us baby," Cibyll (music) said in her best male impression. Tumble made a face at her.
"I mean, i can't find Labrynth and Foxglove and that lot," She explained.
"Weren't they playing Hide and Seek?" Chrys (winter) said with a raised eyebrow.
"Oh yeah," Tumble's face reddened and she reached for a water droplet.
"I rest my case," Chrys sighed. Her and Tumble didn't exactly get along much, but they tried to at least be civil for their other friends. Tumble glared at her over top of her droplet and as soon as she was done flew off towards the stone tablet.
"Dearie, you gotta learn to be a little nicer sometimes," Cassandra said sternly but sweetly to Chrys.
"I am who I am and no one will change me," Chrys said simply and fell silent. She got up and walked away from the group.

"Hey Wind," Chrys called to a blond fairy as she approached her.
"Oh hey Chrys, we're playing volleyball, you want to?" Wind (music) asked her. She cirled her fists together and bumped the incoming ball back over to the other side.
"Whoa! I got it!" Fang (light) shouted as she dived for the ball. She hit it straight up into the air and quickly moved out of the way so that, Ahnya (tinker) set it back over.
"Nah, no thanks," Chrys answered. Fiira (fast flying) missed it by a hairs width and the point went to Fang's team.
"Gah!" Fiira pouted.
"S'okay Fiira, just get back up again," Kasane (garden) said encourageingly to her.
"YEEAHH! that's one for our team!" Cameron shouted from the other side as she punched her fist into the air.
"Yeah beat that!" Reta (garden) exclaimed with triumph. Fiira narrowed her eyes at them through the net and purced her lips with sarcasm.
"We'll get you, we'll get you next time," She said, pointing straight at them with her smooth index finger. No one noticed as Chrys crept away into the shadows to find a quiet place more suited for thinking to herself.

"I believe we had a successful Spring Ball this year," Queen Karma said to her four season advisers.
"Yes indeed it was my lady," Wolfgang answered optimistically. He was the Autumn adviser and theyoungest adviser in several hundred years.
Queen Karma was the night fairy queen, she spoke and held conferences with Queen Clarien, the day fairy queen. Wolfgang glanced out the window of the elder tree. Far off, in a small clearing, he could see a game of volleyball being played by a certain group of hoolagins he knew. He descided to pay them a visit.
/////////////
"Four!" Kasane shouted as she served the ball.
"That's golf! We're playing volleyball silly!" Cedar shouted from the sidelines. By now, She and Duck had joined them along with the hide and seek players, including Tumble.
"Who cares?" Kasane shouted back as the ball soared up and over the net. Ahnya ran up as fast as she could to meet it when...
"AMERICA!" Someone shouted as it was snatched right out of the air. No one had seen what it actually was but meerly caught a glimpse of Autumn colors.
"wOLFGANG!" Labrynth shouted at said fairy who was now hovering on the opposite side of the court. He held the stolen ball in his long fingers.
"This is how you play!" He ran up to the server line where Reta was standing. "Move girly," He threw the ball into the air and smacked it back down. The ball did not go very far at all but bounced back straight up into the air. It raised higher and higher until it was no longer in sight.
"Where did it go?" Kit asked, squinting into the it was in sight and getting closer rather fast.
"Duck!" Someone yelled and, after establishing that they did not mean the person, everyone did.
The ball landed with a smash and a rumble which collapsed the net and the game obviously ended.
"Heh heh, sorry," Wolfgang muttered.
