Note: I do not own the Tinkerbell series and the Kyzua are my creation. Also, each new story has a different background.
It was a great summer night in Pixie Hollow on Neverland. The moon shone brightly in the ever stretching blackness of the night sky like the sun had done earlier that day, around it the stars also shone brightly to help bring light to the night sky and a gentle breeze blew through the summer night air. It was a very peaceful night for summer, just like most of It's night were.
In one part of Pixie Hollow, on top of part of a large tree trunk was a small teakettle with a large twig and bush ceiling and twig walls. A large door with a small window in the middle was on the side and around the sides were several other windows. Lights coming from inside told anyone looking at it that there were people home. Is house was Tinkerbell's and she was home, only her friends were there as well.
Inside were Tinkerbell, Fawn, Vidia, Iridessa, Rosetta, Silvermist, Terence, Bobble, Clank, Fairy Mary and several others such as Buck, a male animal fairy who was one of Fawn's best friends, Chloe, a Garden fairy who was one of Rosetta's best friends, and another fairy who was one of the groups' friends, and also one of Pixie Hollow's famous celebrities for her story telling, called Lyria.
Set out in the middle of the house was a small wooden table made of twigs packed with grapes, pumpkin muffins, which most of the others had brought with them as they knew they were Tinkerbell's favourite treat, tiny bowls of buttercup soup, pieces of watermelon and lemon meringue pie and all sorts. The fairies were standing around talking to one another and having and good time. They were all here because it was Tinkerbell's 3rd Arrival day birthday. They had all been planning this for a few days and they had surprised her earlier on when she returned home from the Tinker workshop. They had been here for the past few hours now and…quite frankly it was getting close to them having to leave but they were in no rush to.
Whilst Tinkerbell was at the table getting a drink, Fairy Mary was talking to her.
"Well, It's going rather well, Tinkerbell," she said cheerfully.
"Yeah, it is," she replied, pouring herself a cup of cam and meal tea and taking a sip. "Thanks so much for doing all this for me," she said to Fairy Mary.
"Oh, dear, I've told you already when you thanked me earlier, It's fine and you don't need to," Fairy Mary replied. "We threw this surprise party for you as a way of getting you to rest for once without having to worry about that shelter,"
"Hey, you, Bobble and Clank have been helping as well," Tinkerbell told her.
"Yes, but you've been working on it non-stop for weeks now, dear. I remember a few days ago, you came into work and fell asleep at the table you were working at because you'd been up all night. Now, dear, It's time you had a break from it,"
Tinkerbell gave a small smile and shrugged. "I suppose,"
"Yes. Do you know what, I think this calls for a speech," and she flew into the middle of the room, the air noisy with chatter from the others, and called out: "Attention, everyone! Attention!" and everyone else brought their conversations to an end and looked over at her. "Thank you. Now, I would just like to say well done to you all for helping in planning and preparing this surprise party for Tinkerbell, and also for helping me make sure she stays here and doesn't try and sneak off to work on that rotten shelter,"
"Our pleasure, Fairy Mary," Iridessa replied.
"Now," Fairy Mary continued. "Tinkerbell here is going to quickly give us a speech,"
"Wait, I thought you were going to do that," Tinkerbell protested.
"No, I said this calls for a speech, but I didn't say who by," Fairy Mary told her and the others laughed. Tinkerbell rolled her eyes and walked into the middle of the room, stopping there. She cleared her throat.
"First of all, I just…want to thank you all for throwing me this party," she said. "It's been a real break for me and a good time to socialize with you all again after me, Fairy Mary, Bobble and Clank have spent weeks on that shelter we've been building,"
"Yeah, that is something we'll be nice enough to forgive you all for," Vidia piped up jokingly and Tinkerbell and the others laughed. "All that noise you've all been making at night though was very loud. Kept most of us awake for a few hours one night,"
"Sorry about that," Tinkerbell replied. "Anyway, I would also like to thank all of you for forgiving me and Bobble, Clank and Fairy Mary for that shelter we've been building, but I'll be pleased to tell you, It's pretty much finished now,"
The others cheered, even the other three Tinker fairies. What they were talking about was that Tinkerbell's house was on the edge of a tree trunk and they had built a shelter into it. The main purpose of the shelter, which Pixie Hollow's highest council members had been advertising and talking about for some time now, was for the fairies of who built them to hide in them. They were all being advertised because of the recent sudden arrival of a new enemy on Neverland. Known as the Kyzua, they were dragons that were slightly taller than the Neverland fairies and walked on their hind legs, as they had no wings, and, and this lesson the Neverland fairies learnt when they first encountered them; they were very violent and were a nuisance and even a threat to Pixie Hollow. When they had first arrived earlier on in the spring this year, they had attacked a group of fairies, a male garden fairy, a female light fairy and a female water fairy, just outside the large place where the blue pixie dust harvest would take place and almost killed one of them. Not long afterwards, a scout fairy had been attacked and killed and left on the ground. Queen Clarion, the queen of the Hollow, had decided to confront these new creatures and find out what they wanted, which they did agree to, but when she did meet them, along with the council and a group of scout talents for guard, they had attacked them and it was only by the quick intervention of a group of nearby animal fairies that had saved them all from being badly hurt, or even killed. Since then, Queen Clarion, fearing for the safety of her people and believing that the Kyzua would try and attack the Hollow itself one day, had decided that shelters were to be prepared throughout the Hollow.
However, that had been four months ago in March. Since then, they had barely had an attack from the Kyzua. In fact, the Kyzua were more or less attacking the outskirts of the Hollow and had literally torn the grass and nature out of some parts and left it barren, some places they had even turned it into more a desert-like landscape, and because of this, most of the fairies and even some of the Pixie Hollow council believed that they were not going to attack again, not after the meeting in which some of the Kyzua had been really badly hurt, which had probably killed some of them, and most of the shelters that were to be built just stopped before they even began. Still though, fairies were able to collect the resources to build these things and Tinkerbell, along with Bobble, Clank and Fairy Mary, had decided to do just that, building it at Tinkerbell's as the trunk her house was on was far much stronger than the others. They had received a few strange looks and comments, even from their own friends, but they just ignored them and Tinkerbell had even warned them that building their own shelters would be a good idea, but when never she said this to them it fell on deaf ears. They just did not want to accept the fact they were living in a dangerous time and that at any day, the Kyzua could suddenly come charging out of the mountains in the middle of Neverland and attack them. Still, though, Tinkerbell never gave up trying.
"I suppose that means you might try and get us to build our own?" Lyria inquired.
"I would be a good idea," Tinkerbell said. "I would keep you safe,"
"Maybe, but I don't believe the Kyzua'll attack the Hollow. They wouldn't dare," Terence said. "Anyway, Tinkerbell, we actually wanted to say that next to throwing this party, it was also a way of saying thanks from all of us for all the help you've given to the Hollow since you came here. So, everyone," he raised his drink, as did everyone else. "To Tinkerbell,"
"Tinkerbell," the others chirruped.
Tinkerbell blushed. It was so good to have such good friends.
"Thank guys," she said. "You're the best friends anyone could ever have,"
"Well, we do try," Bobble said.
At that point, Lyria slapped her hands together. "Right," she said. "We've got a while yet so why don't I tell us a story to pass the time,"
"Good idea," Silvermist said.
The others agreed and followed Lyria over to one of the large building blocks Tinkerbell had in the corner of the room. Vidia drank the rest of her watermelon juice
"You coming to listen, Vidia?" Bobble asked.
"I don't know," she replied. "I might have to make a move so I don't oversleep and join the others on the other side of Neverland,"
"Oh, c'mon, Vidia," Fawn, who was nearby and heard them, pleaded. "Just for one story. It's Tink's birthday, I don't think she'd like it of you left so soon,"
Vidia looked over at Tinkerbell and the others, who were sitting down in front of Vidia like a group of eager schoolchildren ready to listen to a book their teacher was reading to them and shrugged. "Alright, I'll stay," she said.
"Yay!" Fawn exclaimed. "C'mon, guys. I think Lyria's gonna tell us one about the Seasons spirits,"
Vidia eyes lit up a little. Even though she was never really one for Lyria's story telling, she did like learning about the four season spirits who supposedly created the island of Neverland and the four seasons that would pass on it and how they taught the first fairies to bring the seasons to Earth.
As the three went to walk over to the group, Silvermist and Tinkerbell putting out the lights, a knock came from the door. Bobble, hearing it, walked over and opened to reveal a tall male scout fairy with black hair and amber eyes and who had a shirt and trousers made out of a brown and green coloured leaf.
"Oh, hello, Bobble," he said. "Sorry, Is Tinkerbell in?"
"Uh, yes. Hang on a moment," Bobble said and he rushed over to Tinkerbell and told her there was someone at the door. Curious, she fluttered over to the door.
"Sorry to disturb you, Tinkerbell," he said. "I've been told to come and tell everyone Queen Clarion has called a meeting of the Hollow,"
"A meeting of the Hollow?" Tinkerbell repeated. "What for?" she asked.
"Some announcement she has to make," the scout fairy answered. "Anyway, It's best you all get over there," he said and he flew off to warn anyone else living nearby.
"Wonder what that's about?" she asked herself.
"Are you alright, Tinkerbell?" Fairy Mary asked as she and everyone else was looking at her, concerned.
"A scout fairy just told me that there's an announcement Queen Clarion has to make at the Home Tree," she answered. "Don't know what about,"
The others looked at each other with confused looks. An announcement by the Queen right now? It had to be important if it was this late? In fact, any announcement by her including the whole Hollow was important.
After a moment of silence in the house, the group rose to their feet. "Well, we'll find out when we get there," Rosetta said. "Best get going,"
They all left the house, Tinkerbell shutting the door behind them, and flew off towards the Home Tree. As they went, their minds tried to find a reason why there was a meeting being called at the Hollow so late at night. Why was there? It just did not make any sense.
Well, they would find out when they got there if it was something this important.
