Hey there peeps. So, today hasn't been very lucky for me… When I woke up, I realised I had overslept by THREE HOURS… I then proceeded to paint my nails and ended up get it BEEPing everywhere! Then I hit my head on the wall and may or may not have gotten a minor concussion…

Let's just hope my unluckiness doesn't affect this chapter! Please enjoy…

"I think someone has a fever,"

Scarlet was happily waiting outside her parent's door, waiting for them to come out. It was a few hours after sunrise and was a lovely hot day outside. Scarlet was waiting for a few minutes but began to get impatient. She gently knocked on the door.

"Mother, Father, are you going to be much longer?" she called from behind the door. It was almost a minute after she had knocked when the door opened.

"Oh, Father, there you are! I thought you were going to be all day!" Scarlet smiled until she noticed Clarion wasn't at his side "Where's Mother?"

"Your mother has a fever," Milori explained. "However, she did request that she got to see you today." Scarlet smiled once again.

"That would be wonderful," she quickly turned around "Excuse me but I'll be back in a bit." Scarlet winked and then fluttered away.

Scarlet landed outside the tearoom and pushed open the door. It wasn't very busy at all and there were few fairies there. Marla smiled as Scarlet approached her.

"Good morning Princess Scarlet. How may I help you?" the fairy asked. She was in an icy blue and white dress that came to her knees and on top of that, wore an apron made of spider silk that had been dyed dark blue.

"Good morning Marla," Scarlet smiled back, remembering the fairy's name. "I was wondering if you could prepare something for my mother. She is rather ill this morning and father says she has a fever." She explained. Everyone in Pixie Hollow was aware who Scarlet was and who her parents were, so she often just said 'mother' and 'father' instead of 'Queen Clarion' and 'Lord Milori'. It just seemed easier for her.

"Queen Clarion is ill? Oh, my," Marla frowned "I'm sure I can prepare something for her."

"Thank you. I shall be back here in a little while. Could you have it done by then?" Scarlet raised an eyebrow.

"Of course," Marla replied "Anything for you and Queen Clarion." The fairy smiled and then fluttered away, writing notes as she went. Scarlet then fluttered out the door and flew straight to Tinkers' Nook.

"Tinkerbell?" she called as she landed outside the tinker's workshop.

"Over here!" replied a familiar voice. Scarlet walked around the corner to see a blonde fairy working away at a table made out of a mushroom.

"Hello Tinkerbell. I was wondering if you could do me a favour." Scarlet got straight to the point.

"Sure," Tink looked up at Scarlet and smiled "Anything. As long as it's not chasing sprinting thistles again!" she laughed.

"No," Scarlet giggled "I was wondering if you could make me a container? Like, a vase?" the tinker considered it for a moment.

"Sure, when by?" she asked.

"Uh… today?" Scarlet said hopefully. Tinkerbell shrugged.

"Sure. Just give me an hour." Tink replied and quickly got up and began whizzing around the workshop, gathering materials.

"Thank you Tinkerbell! Thank you! See you in an hour!" Scarlet yelled as she flew away to find a certain garden fairy.

"Oh, hi there Sugarcane. What are you looking for?" Rosetta greeted the princess.

"Hello Rosetta. I was looking for you, actually." Scarlet giggled.

"Well bust my bonnet! How can I help you?" the garden fairy smiled.

"I wanted to gather some flowers for my mother. She loves calla lilies but they're hard to find! I know how good a garden fairy you are, so I thought you might know." Scarlet raised an eyebrow.

"Of course Sugar! I know all there is to know about flowers!" Rosetta fluttered upwards and began scanning Pixie Hollow for the right area. Scarlet followed her. "So, this part of the Summer Meadows has roses. Over there are the calla lilies…" she pointed to the edge of the Summer Meadows right next to Springtime Square. The area was rather small and had a cave-look to it from far away because of the leaves and vines growing downwards around it.

"Wow, I've never been over there before…" Scarlet admitted nervously.

"Oh, Buttercup, there's nothing to be afraid of! I've been over there thousands of times! It's lovely." She sighed happily.

"Thanks Rosetta! Bye!" Scarlet quickly flew away to the little area of Pixie Hollow with the calla lilies. Rosetta laughed as the princess flew away before getting back to work.

Meanwhile…

Milori had already re-soaked the cloth of Clarion's head hundreds of times just that morning. The heat outside wasn't helping either; it was possibly one of the hottest days in Pixie Hollow all year.

"Clarion, how are you?" he gently asked as he knelt at her side. Clarion sat in her bed, feeling as if there was a cloud around her head.

"I'm fine, thank you," she faked a smile. Milori raised an eyebrow. He pressed his hand against her forehead to find it was a lot hotter than last night.

"Don't lie to me." He replied sternly. Clarion frowned.

"And why would I do that?" her tone was weaker than normal and was slightly shaky.

"That is just what I wonder." Milori sighed. Clarion suddenly felt guilty at his response.

"Milori, I did not mean it like that. I meant-"

"I know." He smiled as he took her hand in his. "Get some rest." Milori kissed the back of her hand before standing up and leaving the room. Clarion smiled as she watched him walk out, relieved to have him back in her life once again.

Not long after Milori had left Clarion alone, there was a knock on the door. The queen secretly hoped it was Milori, but why would he knock? He practically lived there now.

"Mother, are you awake?" a voice called and the door slowly slid open. Scarlet smiled as she stepped into the room. "Father said I could see you today." She explained and pushed the door shut behind her. The princess was carrying an acorn with a hole in the top.

"Yes, I remember you said before that he would not let you; so I requested he tell you that you could." Clarion smiled back as Scarlet approached her, noticing that she had one had behind her back. The princess grabbed the chair at Clarion's desk at placed it next to her mother's bed. She then sat down next to Clarion and smiled.

"I asked Marla to make you this." Scarlet handed the acorn to her. Clarion peered through the hole in the top to see pumpkin soup.

"Thank you Scarlet. How thoughtful." she felt a sense of proudness inside her for having such a caring daughter.

"I also gathered these…" Scarlet pulled one hand forward to reveal a small vase painted gold and inside had a selection of blue, red, yellow, green, orange, purple and pink calla lilies. "Tinkerbell made the vase. Rosetta told me where to find the lilies. I knew they are your favourite..." She explained as she placed the vase on a small table beside Clarion's bed.

"Thank you. They're wonderful, truly," Clarion smiled and sighed happily. Scarlet stayed and spoke to her mother for hours until it was just past sunset and Milori had returned. Although the princess had missed a beautiful sunny day, spending time with her mother while she was ill was more important.

How cute :3

Please remember though, this story's genres are 'family' and 'friends'. Not romance. However, this doesn't mean there won't be romance! Just not as much as my other stories! Okay? Lol.

Thank you so much for reading! Bye for now! Hope you enjoyed too!
