Deep in the garden, Rosetta was hard at work. she is probably one of the hardest working fairies in the whole garden fairy group.
She didn't want to be here right now. gardening was the last thing that was on her mind.
Ever since the winter woods was allowing all the fairies come in, Rosetta had been trying to stay low and not visit to much. Her friends would always ask her to come and sometimes she would say yes but most of the time she choose to stay in her garden or roam around pixie hallow.. she did love to visit the winter woods, and she had a good reason to. Her boyfriend, Sled, was a winter animal fairy there and that was the only exception she made to visiting.
"Hey Rosetta!" Rosetta turned around to see her friends flying towards her.
" We are all going to the winter woods and have a snow ball fight! Wanna come with us?" Silvermist was jumping up and down with excitement
"Not right now guys. I really have to finish up here."
" But Ro you always say that when you don't want to go."
"Ya Ro, I mean your boyfriend lives there. why wouldn't you want to go?"
"You guys are like madly in love"
Rosetta looked at her friends and tried to think of a good excuse to not go, but all she could think of was that it was too cold. What her friends don't know is that Rosetta had been staying away from the winter woods more often for a really good reason. But she didn't have the guts to tell them the whole story. The only people who knew why she wouldn't go all the time were Queen Clarion, Fairy Mary, and Lord Millori. she was not sure how her friends would react to her secret so she decided to just go with them instead of making up a huge lie.
"Alright, let's go"
"Yay!" they all said to Rosetta in unison
As they got closer to the winter woods Rosetta was stopped by Fairy Mary. Her friends were a little confused but they just waited for Rosetta while her and Fairy Mary talked.
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
"I'm sure I will be fine"
"Okay, but if I see one thing go wrong I am getting Queen Clarion and she will make a huge fuss at you and then Lord Millori will get in on it and then everyone will start to question and things will get crazy and..." she started to hyperventilate and was rambling
"If you don't stop talking then you are going to make a scene. The girls are already looking at us with confused eyes. I promise I will just go for a little bit, visit Sled and then tell everyone that I'm tired and leave."
"Alright, but just promise me that u will not doing anything stupid...please be careful Rosetta..you know what will happen if you don't"
"Yes I know. And I promise."
and with that Fairy Mary flew away and Rosetta went back and joined her friends who were waiting for her at the border. Fawn was the first to ask her a question.
"What was that all about?"
"Nothing important, lets just go in."
they entered the winter woods and were greeted by Sled, Periwinkle, Spike, and Gliss.
"Hey guys" said Sled who went to Rosetta and kissed her and then held her in his arms.
"See, if every couple was like you guys then everyone would be perfectly happy" Peri said with a huge smile on her face, she was happy for them, everyone was.
Rosetta and Sled both laughed at the same time.
Everyone was having a good time hanging out
"Hey guys, lets have a snowball fight. Warm fairies against the winter fairies." Tinkerbell seed very confident when she said this.
"Oh, you guys are on" said Gliss and jumped up and grabbed a hunk if snow and threw it in their direction, hitting Iridessa on the shoulder
"Hey, that hurt, come on warm fairies, lets take these fairies down!"
As they were having that snow ball fight, Rosetta's jacket came undone and as she got hit with a snowball she stepped back and tripped over a patch of snow and fell flat on the ground, causing her jacket to come off.
"Oh my gosh. Rosetta!"
They all ran towards her and helped her up and quickly put her jacket back on her to cover her wings. In the time that she fell and her jacket came off, to them helping her out, her wings should have frozen and broke, but to everyone's amazement, they didn't.
"That's amazing, your wings didn't freeze and break like mine did before." Tinkerbell said in confusion
Just around the corner was Fairy Mary watching them and quickly ran towards Rosetta once she saw her jacket come off.
"Rosetta dear, are you alright?"
Rosetta knew what she really meant and she knew that it was time for her to leave and go back to home.
"Ya, I'm fine."
"How come her wings didn't break, that's impossible that they didn't." Sled was very worried for his girlfriend, her wanted to make sure she was going to be okay.
Rosetta and Fairy Mary were just staring at everyone for awhile, not knowing what to say.
"Rosetta darling, I think it's time that you get back to your garden." Fairy Mary said making up an excuse for Rosetta to leave.
"Rosetta are you hiding something from us?" Vidia said questioning Rosetta.
Rosetta had no idea how, or what to say to that. All she could do was stand there and keep quiet.
"You know I really think Rosetta should be gonig now, come along dear, you don't want to keep your garden waiting now do you." Fairy Mary was now pulling Rosetta away from her friends and guiding her back to the border.
She looked back at her friends and just shrugged at them, and then she followed Fairy Mary back home.
"Do you realize how close you came to revealing the secret?"
"I know but it was an accident I swear."
"You young lady are forbid from the winter woods for the next month, and don't think you can just sneak away without me knowing, I will have people watching your every move until we can figure out what to do with this whole commotion going on!"
"But that's not right, oh come on Mary you know that I will be careful next time."
"I know that but Queen Clarion does not. Now I think the best thing for you to do is to go and talk to her about what happened today and see what she thinks you should do about it."
They flew towards Queen Clarions castle to talk to her. Little did they know, was that the girls were hiding behind a tree and they all heard what Fairy Mary and Rosetta were saying to each other.
" Now that was really weird...I wonder what Fairy Mary meant by, Secret." Said Tink
"Ya and it seemed like Rosetta was really worried."
Rosetta and Fairy Mary walked into the castle and Knocked on the door
"Who is it?" Said the guard standing behind the door.
"Fairy Mary and Rosetta. We are here to speak with Queen Clarion."
The doors open and they walk in and head straight towards Queen Clarions room.
"Hello Queen Clarion." Said Fairy Mary
"Hello"
Queen Clarion turned around and saw Rosetta standing next to Fairy Mary. She saw that she had a scared look on her face and she walked towards her.
"Okay, what happened Rosetta. I can see that your not happy, so, let it all out."
"Well, I was in the winter woods and we were having a snow ball fight and I fell and my jacket came off and everyone noticed that my wings didn't instantly freeze and break" she was shaking and was obviously really scared of what happened
"What Sweetheart you promised me you would be careful!"
"I know and I tried but I was an accident"
Queen Clarion looked at Rosetta and then she politely asked Fairy Mary to leave so she could talk to Rosetta in private.
Queen Clarion turned to Rosetta and put her arms out and motioned for Rosetta to come towards her. Rosetta walked towards her and Queen Clarion pulled her in for a hug and they just stood there for awhile while Clarion hugged Rosetta and rubbed her back.
"Now, what did your friends say?"
"Well, they noticed after awhile that I wouldn't respond to any of their questions and then they asked if I was keeping a secret from them and that was when Fairy Mary said that it was time for me to go and then we came here."
Queen Clarion took a deep breath and looked at Rosetta
"I think that it is time that you tell your friends the truth about you."
"But I thought that it could ruin everything and I might not be safe if we did."
"Well, I may have only said that just so you wouldn't tell anyone, but I do think that it is time that you tell them. I mean they are your friends and they deserve to know everything about you, keeping secrets, especially one as hug as this one, is never good for friends."
Rosetta just stared at the floor for awhile and didn't say anything. She was thinking really hard on what her friends might say about it and how they would treat her after they found out.
"Okay, I'll do it, but only on one condition."
"And what might that be?"
"You have to be with me when I tell them."
"Well I don't see a problem in that, but I also think I will have Millori with us when we tell them, it wouldn't be fair if we didn't."
And with that they flew off towards the winter woods to get Lord Millori
"Millori!"
Lord Millori turned around to see Queen Clarion and Rosetta standing behind him.
"Well, this is certainly a surprise seeing both of you here."
He walked towards Rosetta and pulled her in for a big hug, he picked her up and spun her around and then kissed the top of her head. Rosetta smiled, she missed that. Clarion smiled and kissed Millori.
"So, what do I owe this surprising visit to?"
"I think that we should tell Rosetta's friends the truth about who she really is, lately things have been getting suspicious and sooner or later they will find out. It's probably best that we tell them ourselves."
"Well, if you guys think that we should, then I'm on board."
"One question." Rosetta said
"Yes darling?" Responded Millori
"What will happen if they hate me for not telling them, whatnot they stop taking to me?" Rosetta was really scared of what might happen.
Both Clarion and Millori hugged Rosetta, they knew that this day would have come but they never really prepared for it. But they couldn't turn back now, they had to do it.
"Everything will be fine Rosetta, trust us." Clarion assured her and then they all left. Rosetta and Clarion flying and Millori flying on his bird right next to them.
They spotted Iridessa, Fawn, Tinkerbell, Vidia, Silvermist, Sled, Spike, Gliss, Bobble, and Clank all having a snowball fight down by the ice rink.
Rosetta hesitated for a second but then she knew that it had to be done. She flew down toward them and they all stared at her.
"Rosetta! Your not wearing you jacket, your wings are gong to break! And how are you not cold?" Said a very concerned Sled
"Guys I know that this looks really weird but I have a really good explanation."
Fawn jumped up and down with her hand in the air.
"Oh, I have theory!"
Rosetta looked annoyed but answered her anyways.
"And what is your theory Fawn?"
"You are an alien sent from space dressed as a fairy, and once you had us all under your power you and your alien friends would take over all if pixie hollow!"
Rosetta stood there for awhile just looking at Fawn with a very annoyed look on her face.
"Yes Fawn, you got me I am an alien..." She was obviously joking because that was not even close to her secret.
"Are you being sarcastic?"
"Of course I'm being sarcastic Fawn! But, their is something is need to tell you guys."
Right as Rosetta said that both Clarion and Millori flew down and stood next to her.
"Wait why are they here?"
Rosetta looked at her friends then at the two adults next to her. Clarion could tell that Rosetta was not able to tell them, so she decided that she would do it for her.
"Rosetta has been keeping a secret from you guys, actually all three of us have been keeping a secret from all of you."
"What could be so bad that u had to keep a secret from all of us?"
Clarion took a deep breath and the she spoke.
