Faith, Trust, and… Leaf-Men?
Chapter 1: The Unexpected
Well, as you have seen, this is going to be a Tinker Bell and Epic crossover. Yeah, I'll admit, I love the Tinker Bell movies, because they can be funny at times. Heck, who can resist Clank and Bobble, those two tinker fairies? Anyway, I thought a crossover like this would make sense, since the Leaf-Men and fairies share some things in common. Anyway, enough with my babbling. Hope you enjoy!

It was just any ordinary day in Pixie Hollow. The only sign that there were fairies abound were trails of pixie dust sprinkling the air. In this tiny world, the fairies in the Autumn realm were once again on their toes, preparing for their season. In the Autumn-Woods, the fairies there were practicing their painting skills for the transformation of the leaves. They were far too busy to notice a green-clad tinker fairy, who had managed to get herself into a great many adventures as time went on. This particular fairies' name was Tinker Bell. Her latest adventure had been to find her long-lost sister, Periwinkle, who lived in the Winter-Woods. That adventure, by Mainland time, was roughly a year ago. Back then, fairies weren't allowed to cross the border between the Autumn-Woods and the Winter-Woods, for fear of broken wings, for which there was no cure. Now, after an upset in the balance of the seasons, causing a massive freeze, nearly destroying the Pixie-Dust Tree, fairies from the warm seasons could just get their wings frosted, to keep them warm, by the Winter Fairies.
Tink still occasionally met with her sister. Even now, they had arranged a picnic by the Winter-Fairies' Pixie Dust Tree. However, Tink just had to see how the Autumn Fairies crafted their works of art first, admiring how every stroke of their brushes was a burst of red, golden-yellow, or orange color. As Tink witnessed this commotion, as the fairies perfected their painting techniques, she felt a deep loneliness, for she and her friends had just returned from the Mainland after spending the whole season of summer there. It had been the second time that Tink had seen Elizabeth, who had already convinced some other girls in the City that fairies did exist, and had started a fairy club. Tink had wasted no time in updating Elizabeth on her latest adventure, for which she was quite fascinated. Before they had left, Tink decided to make sure, when the Winter Fairies went to the Mainland, to tell Periwinkle to keep an eye out for Elizabeth, who would be in the City at that time. In order that Periwinkle would be able to find her, Elizabeth would have a picture of Tinker Bell on her window.
Snapping herself out of her day-dreams, Tink knew that she had better hurry if she wanted to get to the picnic on time. She had worked for five hours perfecting a nut catapult for the squirrels and she didn't want to let the time slip by anymore. Making for the border, having already dressed into her winter gear, with the picnic basket over her shoulder, Tink caught the attention of Spike, one of Periwinkle's friends, who carefully frosted down her wings. With a quick thank-you, Tink shot off into the air, taking in the entire Winter Realm below her. She would have stayed admiring it longer, if she didn't have to shoot out of the way of a pack of snowy owls, led by Sled, Rosetta's boyfriend, teaching them specific aerial movements, when they would head to the Mainland. After all, as Fairy Mary always said, you could never be too prepared. Waving a quick hello to him, Tink rapidly descended toward the Pixie-Dust Tree, where her sister was already waiting with the spread.
"Tink! You're here! I thought you might have gotten a little side-tracked, what with autumn preparations going on."
"Oh, Peri, you know that I wouldn't miss this for the world."
As Tink brought out the ham-and-cheese sandwiches, the shadow of Lord Milory's snowy owl passed over them, as he kept watch over his domain. As of late, it wasn't a secret that Lord Milory and Queen Clarion loved each other, and there were even rumors of a marriage, but nothing was clear yet.
"So, Peri, what do you think of these rumors? Do you think that they have an element of truth in them?"
"I honestly don't know, Tink. You can never be certain where rumors are concerned."
As they began a lively discussion about when Periwinkle would visit Elizabeth, Fairy Mary, in winter gear, raced toward them in a flurry of pixie dust. It was obvious that she was in a state of deadly fear.
"Tink, you need to come home, right now. There's something wrong with the Pixie-Dust Tree."

Well, you already know that this isn't good. But, you're going to have to see what the problem is, when I post the next chapter. If you want to know, I'm the sort of person who loves to do cliffhangers. You've been warned! Hope you enjoyed this chapter!
