Tink and the sparrowhogs arrived in the Tinker's nook. It was almost midnight.

Sonic: "Hey, what were you saying about that idea of yours?

Shadow: "I was thinking of covering Peri's wings with ice or something like that"

Tink: "I was expecting Silver to have an idea like this"

Silver: "Hey, what was that?"

Shadow: "I could ask the same thing"

Tink: "Doesn't matter. I'll think of something. Ok, maybe something like…how about...I have nothing"

Silver: "Let's ask Tails"

Tink: "Why should we ask Tails?"

Silver: "Because he's right there, trying to do the same thing as we are"

Tails (working at a different table, not having noticed the others): "That's it! A fairy-powered ice grater"

Tink: "I like it"

Tails: "What-" he turned around. "Oh, hey. Why are you still awake?"

Tink: "Look who's asking"

Tails: "I asked first"

Tink: "Well, it seems like I have a sister in the Winter Woods. I want to show her the rest of Pixie Hollow. Now you"

Tails: "That's what I call a coincidence. Sonic has this friend in the Winter Woods and he wants to show her the rest of Pixie Hollow, so I'm helping him"

Tink: "He surely wants to be close to Peri"

Tails: "Wait. That friend is Peri?" he turned to Sonic. "Will you ask her to move in with you or something?"

Sonic had already blushed. "Maybe"

Everyone else giggled.

Sonic: "Anyway, we're going home now"

Shadow: "Why?" Sonic: "Because we are. Goodnight everyone"

Tink: "Goodnight, brothers-in-law"

Sonic, Shadow and Silver left the Tinker's nook. Amy and Senya snuck up behind them.

Senya: "So, Tink and Peri are sisters?"

Amy: "And are we invited to the wedding?"

Sonic: "Here we go again"

The next day, at the border:

Peri: "Here it is. A big block of ice from the generous ice-talent sparrowman, Slush"

Slush: "Hey, man"

Sled: "And sorry for blowing your cover the other day"

Sonic: "That's why we didn't accept you at the Special Forces"

Spike: "That and because he got beaten up by a fairy twice"

Sled: "Ok, firstly, they were two different fairies. I usually don't flirt with the same fairy twice. And secondly, one of them is a master of Tai Chi and the other one is a master of Jeet Kune Do"

Tink: "I thought they weren't allowed to cross the border"

Sonic: "They were right at the border when it happened"

Bobble and Clank brought the snow maker.

Peri: "What's that?"

Bobble: "You might want to get out of the way"

Bobble shot some kind of grappling hook at the block and brought it next to the grater. He then started pedalling and the machine produced snow. Peri looked at her friends.

Gliss: "It's alright. Go"

Peri stepped in the snowing area.

Shadow: "How do you like my idea?"

Tails: "It was my idea"

Peri: "Either way, it's cool"

Everyone stayed silent.

Peri: "Seriously? Nothing? Well, whatever, let's go"

Gliss: "Hey, don't forget to bring me an acorn! A big one!"

Peri: "We won't. And don't worry for me. I'll stay cool"

Again, silence.

Peri: "Still nothing?"

Later, on the river:

Tink's friends were hidden behind the grass. Sonic reached for the communicator on his gauntlet. "Team, can you read me?"

Rosetta: "Loud and clear"

Sonic: "Operation Periwinkle starting"

Silvermist: "Roger that. Umm, what was my part again?"

Vidia: "To create a water archway above them"

Silvermist: "Right"

She did as instructed for the fifth time that day. Not too late after that, they reached the Summer Glade. The others were still hidden.

Iridessa: "Now's my turn. Umm, what was my part again?"

Vidia rolled her eyes.

Iridessa: "Just kidding"

Silvermist: "I don't get it"

iridessa flew in circles around the snow maker, bringing a rainbow with her. Rosetta, Amy and Senya were flying above the flower fields, opening the flowers as Fawn sent the butterflies to Peri.

Tails (to Vidia): "I told you it would work"

Vidis: "Fine" she took five oak leaves out of her pocket and handed them to Tails

Rosetta (to Peri, in a strange tone): "Welcome to the warm side. I'm Rosetta"

Vidia: "She's from the Winter Woods, not from the moon"

Rosetta: "Oh, I almost forgot" she took a flower out of her hair and gave it to Peri. "This is for you. It's called a periwinkle"

Knuckles (hiding behind the flowers): "Just like you"

Peri: "Thanks" She covered the flower in a frost sphere.

Amy: "What are you doing there, Knuckles?"

Knuckles: "I'm not spying on Vidia. And I'm not Knuckles, the most handsome of the storm-talents"

Vidia: "No, you're Knuckles, the most annoying of the storm-talents"

He got out of his hideout. "I love it when you play hard to get"

Peri fell to the ground. Sonic noticed and went close to her, worried. "What's wrong?"

Peri: "My wings. I can't feel them anymore"
