A/N: I'm a little bit of an amature wrighter so it may need a little tweeking but I hope you enjoy. :)


Queen Clarion was walking through the summer meadows lost in thought. "I wish Milori were here." she thought to herself. then she started thinking about Tinkerbell and how she was always getting in some sort of trouble. Queen Clarion couldn't help but giggle. "Oh, Tinkerbell." she thought out loud.

She hadn't noticed Tink was sitting on a near by rock and jumped when Tink awnsered her. "Oh, Tinkerbell, you scared the pixie dust out of me." She told the young fairy.

Tinkerbell cocked her head to the side confused. "How do you scare pixie dust?" Tink asked the queen.

Queen Clarion burst out laughing and looked at Tink funny. "It's a figure of speech, Tinkerbell." She explained.

"Queen Clarion can I ask you something?" Tink asked. "Of course sweetheart, ask away." she replied.

"Well... I was wondering why you're out here all alone? I mean don't you get lonely without Fairy Mary and why isn't Lord Milori here with you?" Tinkerbell asked all at once.

Queen Clarion thought for a moment before awnsering. "Well first of all, I'm not out here all alone because I've got you to keep me company and yes, sometimes I do get lonely without Mary but I don't let on that I'm lonely because I have to be a strong queen for you and all of pixie hollow. As for Lord Milori, he had to go to the mainland to help bring winter." she explained.

"Oh right, I forgot that it's winter on the mainland." Tink giggled.

Queen Clarion smiled. "Queen Clarion... uh nevermind, I don't want to be disrespectful and it's really not important." Tink explained with concern and sadness.

Queen Clarion stopped walking and knelt down so she was face to face with Tinkerbell then she put her hand under Tink's chin and looked into the young fairy's eyes. "Tinkerbell, Sweetheart tell me whats wrong? Please Sweetie, why are you so sad?" Queen Clarion asked.

Tinkerbell looked up at her with sorrow and worry in her eyes. "I'm sad because it's not fair that you're lonely and have to hide it just because you're the queen. I mean, when one of my friends get lonely they don't have to hide it so why do you? You said that you don't show your lonliness because you have to be a strong queen for us but you shouldn't have to hide your feelings to be strong because you already are strong." Tinkerbell explained as tears streamed down her face.

Queen Clarion looked like she was about to cry herself. "Tinkerbell, you have no idea how happy it makes me to know that you think I'm strong and you're right, it's not fair but some things just weren't meant to be fair and unfortunately that will never change so I must hide my feelings because if the other fairies saw me upset it would cause panic and distress and that would not be good." Queen Clarion explained.

"If I promise not to cause panic and distress, will you promise not to hide your feelings around me?" Tinkerbell asked.

Queen Clarion seemed confuesd as to why Tink would ask something like that. "Why would you want to know what I'm feeling?" Queen Clarion asked.

"Because I care about you, Queen Clarion. because to me you are more than just the queen, I see you not only as the queen but as a mentor someone I look up to with great admiration and respect but most importantly, I see you as a friend and I don't like seeing you sad or lonely." Tinkerbell told her.

Queen Clarion nodded. " I promise Tinkerbell. I will not hide my feelings from you. on one condition, that you promise not to tell anyone about what is said between us." Queen Clarion promised.

"I promise Queen Clarion, I will not tell a living soul." Tink raised her right hand as if taking an oath.
