A/N: I don't own any Dream Street characters but i do own Tina, Balthazar, Network, Snowy, Brownie and Skydance.
Balthazar looked out at the sea and sighed.
He didn't know how he or Tina would cope.
"Get a grip Balthazar" he said to himself.
"I need advice" Balthazar told himself.
Balthazar decided to ask the king of Rainbow Island for advice.
He didn't have to go far as the king had spotted Balthazar looking worried.
"Are you all right Balthazar?" a royal blue Rolls-Royce asked.
"Yes your majesty" Balthazar said bowing.
"Are you sure Balthazar you seem a little worried about something" the king said.
"Well there is something on my mind at the moment" Balthazar said and explained his predicament to the king.
"Ah I see well Balthazar you know you are allowed to be with Tina and your children I won't stop you if you want to stay at home and raise them" the king said.
"Then in that case when they're born I'll help Tina until their old enough" Balthazar said.
The king smiled.
"Thank you your majesty" Balthazar said.
"That is quite all right Balthazar" the king said.
Just then Tina came racing over crying.
"Tina what's wrong?" Balthazar asked.
Tina was hysterical the only words Balthazar could make out were dad accident and dieing.
"Tina take a deep breath and tell me clearly what happened" Balthazar said.
"Dad had an accident he lost control on Skipping Rope bridge he fell and mum thinks he's dieing" Tina sobbed.
Balthazar's eyes flashed with worry.
"I need to see him" Tina said.
"Ok we'll leave now" Balthazar said.
"I'm sorry" Balthazar said.
"It's ok Balthazar it is a family emergency after all" the king said understandingly.
Balthazar bowed and raced off with Tina to the docks.
"How fast can you get us to Dream Street" Balthazar asked the captain.
"Very fast" the captain replied.
"Hop on" Balthazar said.
Only a few minutes later the two were racing down the road as fast as they could.
"Hurry" Tina called even though Balthazar was in front of her.
When the two finally entered Dream Street they were panting.
But the two carried on running until they got to the Depot.
Tina looked at the yellow breakdown truck tears forming in her eyes.
"Dad!" Tina said seeing Buddy who due to the fall was partly crushed.
Buddy slowly opened his eyes.
"Tina" he said weakly.
"Yeah daddy" Tina said stepping forward.
"I need you to promise me something…that you'll never forget me or your roots in life" Buddy said.
"I promise daddy" Tina whispered.
"Balthazar take care of Tina and your children and make sure she doesn't worry too much" Buddy said.
"You have my word" Balthazar said.
"Daddy I don't want you to go" Tina said tears streaming down her face.
"Tina just because you can't hear or see me it doesn't mean I wont be watching over you" Buddy slowly said.
"Don't go please" Tina whispered burying her head into Buddy's non crushed side.
"Tina just remember that I've always been proud of you" Buddy whispered before closing his eyes for the final time.
"No daddy no don't leave me please come back I need you" Tina sobbed.
Balthazar looked down crying himself.
"So this is sadness" he said to himself.
Tina didn't know how long she stood there but when she opened her eyes her dad was gone.
"Tina" Balthazar said stepping forward.
"Balthazar" Tina said burying her head next to him.
"I'm sorry Tina I wish there was something I could do" Balthazar whispered to Tina.
"Where's mum, Network and Snowy?" Tina asked.
"Follow me" Balthazar said quietly.
"Daisy told me to take you here once you woke up" Balthazar said.
"Woke up?" Tina asked.
"You cried yourself to sleep you've been asleep for a day and a half" Balthazar explained.
Tina looked around she knew where she was.
"This is where Valentine is buried" her mind said.
Balthazar stopped and Tina looked in front of her.
It was her fathers grave.
"Can I be alone for a bit?" Tina asked.
Balthazar looked unsure for a moment.
"Ok I'll be waiting just outside the entrance to Dream Street when you're ready" Balthazar said and went off.
Tina stayed silent as past memories filled her mind.
Flashback
Tina was three months old and was often getting herself into mischief.
On that day Tina had decided to go up Skipping Rope Bridge.
Until Buddy caught her.
"Tina!" Buddy said in alarm rushing over to her.
Tina stopped when Buddy came in front of her.
"Tina you know you're not allowed on here" Buddy said.
"I'm just playing daddy I won't get hurt" Tina said to herself but only managed a squeak in response.
"Come on Tina lets get you off here" Buddy said leading Tina back down.
Tina sighed.
"You never let me have fun" she said to herself.
Buddy thought for a moment before speaking.
"I think I have an idea for you to have fun and not get into anymore mischief making" he said.
"Oh no" Tina's mind said.
A few minutes later Buddy took Tina to see the horses.
At first Tina hid behind Buddy but finally found her courage when she went closer.
A small white foal with a brown tail and black mane was grazing in the field when it saw Tina and slowly and cautiously went over to her.
When the foal came close to the fence it flicked its ears nervously.
Tina looked at the foal interested.
The foal poked its head through the gate and nudged Tina playfully.
"I've never seen you before" Buddy mumbled.
A large brown horse neighed to the foal and he foal ran back over to the brown horse.
"Well Tina do you like the horses?" Buddy asked.
Tina nodded.
"I thought you would and I think if I ask a friend nicely she'll let you work with them" Buddy said.
Tina smiled and nudged against Buddy as a way of saying thank you.
End of flashback.
Tina sighed that was a long time ago now.
"Thank you for keeping me out of trouble daddy" Tina said.
Tina felt the wind gently wrap around her.
Tina looked around before smiling.
Tina took one last look at her dad's grave before making her way to the horse stables.
