As the last leaf on the last day of Autumn fell of the branch of the last tree, the sky was glowing with a magnificent orange glow as the sun prepared to complete its final stage of setting. A nearby pond rippled from the landing of the falling leaf. As the ripples gentled, the reflection in the lake showed a large group of fairies flying by.
The fast flying fairies were using their powers to blow the leafs away while the snow fairies brought the temperature down to a chilling climate and froze all the lakes. The animal fairies meanwhile were putting all the bears to sleep for the winter and guiding the squirrels to the trees with their nuts and guiding the birds to fly south. The fairies of Pixie Hollow were busy at work preparing for winter.
With the final preparations made, the fairies returned to Pixie Hollow for some well-deserved rest.
As dawn approached, Irridessawas flying through the tall grasslands with her usual worried expression searching for Tinkerbell.
"Tink? Tink? TINK!" she shouted.
The young light fairy nervously searched but couldn't find Tinkerbell anywhere. Sweat began to pour down her face as she started to worry, even though she had only been looking Tinkerbell for maybe 18 or 20 minutes.
Just then, Irridessa was joined by Fawn, Rosetta, and Silvermist.
As the three fairies looked on, they noticed Irridessa in a panic and all three of them gave a small sigh for they knew that when Irridessa was worried, it usually just something minor that she had to make into a big deal.
"Hey there, Lightning Bug," said Rosetta before she was suddenly grabbed by Irridessa.
"Have you seen Tinkerbell? I can't find her anywhere!" Irridessa exclaimed.
"Did you look by the beach?" Fawn asked.
"Yes!" Irridessa said.
"Did you look near Needlepoint Meadow?" asked Silvermist.
"Yes!"Irridessa exclaimed.
"Did you look underground?" Rosetta teased.
Not realizing Rosetta was kidding, Irridessa proceeded to burrow in the ground, getting dirt all over her. Silvermist and Fawn quietly chuckled.
As Rosetta was wiping the dirt off of her, Irridessa's state of panic was growing. "Oh, this is bad, this is very, very bad! Tinkerbell's lost out there somewhere, somewhere probably outside of Pixie Hollow!" she exclaimed.
"Here she goes again," Fawn sighed.
"Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, what if she's lost! What if she's hungry! What if she's run out of pixie dust?" Irridessa exclaimed.
Silvermist flew over to Irridessa and calmed her down by massaging her forehead. She knew that always did the trick. "Feel better?" she asked.
"Yes..." Irridessa said.
"Now think for a minute, Sweet Pea, did you try lookin' over by the Pixie Tree?" Rosetta asked.
"Not yet," Irridessa asked.
"Let's go check over there," said Silvermist before she and the other three fairies flew towards the tree.
Meanwhile, in another section of the grasslands, Tinkerbell was riding what looked like a small wooden board and wearing tiny safety gear that she had made. She was having fun skateboarding through the tall grass and jumping off of the tall hills of sand.
"Wooo!" Tinkerbell shouted.
As she approached the Pixie Tree, Tinkerbell suddenly was losing control, wobbling on her board until she crashed with full force on her back in front of the Pixie Tree.
Bobble and Clank ran over to check on Tinkerbell.
"Tinkerbell, are you-" Bobble said before he was interrupted by Clank.
"Are you alright?" Clank said.
"Yeah, I'm OK. I was just trying out my new fairy board," Tinkerbell said.
"Fairy board?" Bobble and Clank asked.
"Yeah. I was just testing out the smoothness of the wood to mingle with the terrain and when successful, I was gonna add some pixie dust to give it an extra boost, but it looks like I have a few kinks to work out. Oh, bells, bells!" Tinkerbell said, stamping her foot hard on the ground before she was joined by Irridessa, Rosetta, Silvermist and Fawn.
"There you are, Tink," Silvermist said.
"Are you injured?" Irridessa exclaimed.
"No," Tinkerbell answered.
"Are you sweaty?" Irridessa exclaimed.
"No," Tinkerbell answered.
"How many fingers am I holding up?" Irridessa asked as she held up three fingers in Tinkerbell's face.
"Nine," Tinkerbell teased which of course caused Irridessa to go into panic mode. "I'm kidding."
"Where have you been? We've been looking all over for you," Irridessa said.
"Sorry, guys," Tinkerbell said as she walked over to pick up her fairy board. "I was testing my fairy board."
"What's a fairy board?" asked Rosetta.
"It's a new thing I'm working on. With it, we'll be able to ride through Pixie Hollow and do all kind of amazing tricks. I saw something like this during our trip to the mainland during fall," said Tinkerbell.
Fawn, Silvermist and Rosetta were into Tink's idea, but Irridessa had her doubts. "That sounds kinda dangerous," she said.
"Oh, don't be such a worry willow, Irridessa," said Rosetta.
"Yeah, it sounds fun to me," said Silvermist. "Mind if I try it, Tink?"
"Actually, I'm still trying to get some bugs out," Tinkebell said.
Silvermist then examined the board. "I don't see any bugs, so you must have gotten them all out," she said as she snatched the board away from Tinkerbell.
"No that's not what I meant," Tinkerbell said as Silvermist got on the board.
"How does it work?" Silvermist asked.
"Well," Tinkerbell said with a sigh. "You move and control the board with you wings and when you want an extra boost, you focus your pixie dust into the back of the board."
With that, Silvermist released some of her pixie dust and focused it to the back of the board, causing her to fly forward, backwards and around the Pixie Tree at super fast speed. As hard as she tried, she couldn't control herself on the board until finally, she crashed into Tinkerbell, Rosetta, Irridessa, Fawn, Clank and Bobble. After Silvermist regained her composure, she was given a cold stare by Tinkerbell.
"Hehe, sorry," said Silvermist.
As Tinkerbell was about to say something to Silvermist, she and the other fairies heard the sound of trumpet going off that was coming from a female fairy wearing a brown hat and brown leaf clothes. Her trumpeted brought the attention of the fairies around the fairy tree. "Attention all fairies, Fairy Theater will begin soon. Those who wish to attend soon be at the Fairy Theater complex," she said.
Fairy Theater was a very special time in Pixie Hollow where fairies gathered around to listen to riveting tales and stories. Rosetta, Fawn, Silvermist and Irridessa had seen many productions while Tinkerbell had about only seen about a few.
Rosetta, Irridessa, Silvermist and Fawn prepared to go, but noticed Tinkerbell looking at her board.
"Aren't you coming, Tink?" asked Silvermist.
"You guys go on. I still have to finish perfecting my board," said Tinkerbell.
"Darlin' that can wait!" said Rosetta.
"Yeah, let loose for a while," said Fawn.
"But I've got to measure the smoothness of the bottom and the test for its compatibility on terrains, not to mention-" Tinkerbell said before she was pulled away by Rosetta and Fawn.
Mostly every fairy in Pixie hollow were gather around for Fairy Theater as three story telling fairies wearing white outfits put light into small containers which lit up the theater complex.
"Hush fairies,
Hush fairies,
Tis the moment for,
Ancient fairy lore," the fairies sang.
"Hush fairies, shush,
For the fairy tale of yore."
Suddenly, a whirlwind of leafs appeared and revealed another female story telling fairy with brown hair in a long ponytail wearing a white outfit. She gathered a small ball of pixie dust in her hands and launched it up in the air. The pixie dust formed the shape of a flower and the fairy began the story.
"A long time ago, when Pixie Hollow was very young and before Queen Clarion ruled, a very special fairy was born. She was a water fairy and she very powerful. Some say she was the greatest water fairy who ever was born," the fairy said.
"Wow..." Silvermist said as her already big eyes began to grow even more.
"However," the fairy continued. "She was also very different from the other fairies. She was born with skin as red as the reddest rose and she had a terrible temper."
"Sound like someone we know," said Irridessa as she, Fawn and Rosetta stared at Tinkerbell.
"What?" Tinkerbell said confused.
Silvermist was too busy listening to the story.
"And whenever she got too angry, she body would glow a bright red color and her power would be out of control. Because of this, she became known as The Red Fairy," the fairy continued. "Now, the previous ruler of Pixie Hollow, Queen Derra saw much potential in the Red Fairy and encouraged the other water fairies to train her extra hard. Many days passed and in no time, The Red Fairy's water talent succeeded everybody else's. But then, one day on a cold winter's night, as the fairies of Pixie Hollow were preparing to go to the mainland for winter, a large group of hawks attacked. From behind a tree, The Red Fairy could only watch in fear as the hawks terrorized the other fairies. However, as the hawks continued to hurt more and more fairies, The Red Fairy grew more and more angrier until finally she unleashed her massive power, releasing a large tsunami of waves which swept away the hawks. Unfortunately, many fairies were also drowned in the wake of The Red Fairy's power and Pixie Hollow was devastated. Queen knew The Red Fairy meant to harm, but she feared her anger was too much for anyone to handle. So with a heavy heart, the Queen banished The Red Fairy from Pixie Hollow."
Hearing this, Silvermist couldn't help but feel a little sad for The Red Fairy. She didn't mean to almost destroy Pixie Hollow, she was only trying to help.
"Legend tells that to this day, The Red Fairy resides on an island far away from Pixie Hollow," the fairy continued as her pixie dust formed the image of an island with large thin stone mountain in the middle. "Legend also says that sometime at night, at the top of Point Mountain, The Red Fairy's bright red glow can be seen, signifying her guilt and despair. Also, large waves are said to come from the island as a symbol of The Red Fairy's awesome power. Some have tried to go to Point Mountain to find The Red Fairy, but none have ever come back...alive."
The entire theater audience gasped.
"But if you are brave enough to venture the waters beyond Pixie Hollow, beware, for if one night, you arrive at Point Mountain and you see a bright red glow, it may be the last thing you ever see in your life, for it is...The Red Fairy," the fairy concluded before she disappeared.
The audience applauded, Silvermist especially. She had seen many Fairy Theater productions, but none had interested her more than this. A tale of an amazing and unique water fairy who once saved Pixie Hollow? How incredible was that? Sure she had almost destroyed it in the process, but that was only due to her anger and rage that she hadn't learned how to control yet. If she ever had the chance to meet this one-of-a-kind fairy, it would be the most awesome thing in her life.
