Tinker Bell

by Elsadisney

Here is the story of Tinker Bell's birth and how she ruined spring, then fixed it, and made it so tinker fairies would go to the mainland for the changing of the seasons. You will hear how she struggled with accepting her talent, and finally realized that being a tinker was who she was. You will also hear about how she returned a music box to a certain little girl...

1. Chapter 1

Have you ever wondered how nature gets its glow? Who gives it light and color as the seasons come and go? Who helps all creatures great and small to walk, to swim, to fly? Who crafts such tiny details? You might see them if you try. For it's all the work of fairies, but they stay well out of sight. And the first time that a baby laughs, a fairy's life takes flight!

When the moon comes out to shine her face the birds are fast asleep. And the lanterns hang from every post, the fairies leave their keep. They join their hands and sing their songs that nary a soul can hear. In the springtime when the earth is new to the fairies they draw near. To the fairies they draw near...

It was nighttime, and a baby girl lay in her crib. She had blonde hair, blue eyes, and fair skin. She looked up at her mobile hanging over the crib. She suddenly burst out laughing. The mobile began spinning faster and faster and the window flew open. The laugh hit a dandelion and some of the seeds flew off. They floated through the air, laughing with the laugh infused in them. They floated around the town and over a bridge before going out to sea. They floated over a ship, and one hit a bell. The others all floated on, and after a moment's hesitation the one that hit the bell followed them.

It floated into the clouds. When it floated out again, it was floating over Never Land. It floated down and through a beach.

Only two dandelion fluffs had reached Never Land. The rest of them had been lost at sea.

One of the two fluffs was caught on a branch. The wind blew it in the direction of the Winter Woods.

The other floated through Pixie Hollow. It was still dark, and fairies turned on lights as they saw it float past. Flowers opened to reveal fairies inside, looking out.

Vidia, a fast-flying fairy, flew over to the fluff and guided it to the Pixie Dust Tree.

Other fairies flew up to the tree and sat down on the shelf mushrooms growing out of it to watch.

Vidia guided the fluff down to a spot in the middle of the tree. There it floated down and landed gently.

Terence, a dust-keeper fairy, flew to the fluff with a cup full of pixie dust. As the rest of the fairies sat down, he poured the cup of pixie dust onto the dandelion fluff.
