A New Age: How Pixie Dust was Destroyed and How Tink Met Peter Pan

by Elsadisney

Tinker Bell didn't know Peter Pan in the movies, but she had already had adventures with him in the books. Fairies used pixie dust in the movies, but fairy dust in the books. What happened to make Pixie Hollow so different, and how exactly did Tink meet Peter? And why are there American Indians on Never Land? You'll know if you read this story, which tells of the epic battle.

10. Mother Dove's Wisdom

Queen Clarion went to find Vidia, the next fairy Mother Dove had mentioned. Vidia was one of the few fairies that knew about Mother Dove. The fastest fast-flying fairy in Pixie Hollow, Vidia could be a bit prickly at times, but she was usually very nice. She had become friends with Tinker Bell and her friend group a while back. Now she was not so rude as she used to be.

Vidia was resting in her sour plum tree. She had just been flying laps around Pixie Hollow, and she was tired.

"Vidia?" Queen Clarion said. "Mother Dove wants you."

Vidia smiled. She remembered what Mother Dove had said to her right after she'd been born: "You're Vidia, fast as the wind, proud as ever. Let the other fast-flying fairies teach you, and you may soon surpass them."

Vidia flew to Mother Dove's nest. Mother Dove smiled. "Vidia, the first of the fairies to come and help me." Then her eyes became worried. "I sense a change coming soon, and I fear you won't like it."

"Oh, I'm sure I'll be fine," Vidia said lightly.

Meanwhile, Queen Clarion went to find the four Ministers. The Minister of Spring was in his gazebo, complaining about the heat. The Minister of Summer was on Beach Cove, trying to dip her feet in the water and cool herself down without getting her wings wet. The Minister of Autumn was in the Harvest Promenade, his headdress off. He was also feeling the warmer weather. The Minister of Winter was fluttering around the Winter Woods, trying not to panic. She was very worried about the heat wave in the Winter Woods.

Queen Clarion told them all to come to Mother Dove. Each of the Ministers knew about Mother Dove. Each had learned about her soon after being born.

Mother Dove comforted the worried Ministers. "You are all worried about the heat," she confirmed. "Worse will come, but do not worry. It will not be too hot for long."

Next, Queen Clarion went to get Lord Milori. "Lord Milori, Mother Dove needs you."

Lord Milori knew about Mother Dove from Queen Clarion. Soon after Pixie Hollow learned that fairies could cross the border if their wings were frosted, Queen Clarion had taken Lord Milori to Mother Dove.

Lord Milori flew on his snowy owl to the Pixie Dust Tree and Mother Dove.

"I know you wonder what is the urgency," Mother Dove said. "As soon as everyone else I requested arrives, you will learn."

Queen Clarion flew to Tinker's Nook next. "Fairy Mary," she said, "Mother Dove needs you."

The stout little fairy fluttered up to Mother Dove's nest.

"Fairy Mary, you also wonder what is wrong," said Mother Dove. "You will know soon."

Then, Queen Clarion flew to the depot. She told Fairy Gary to come to Mother Dove. Fairy Gary flew to Mother Dove's nest and landed on the edge.

"You have done nothing wrong," Mother Dove said to him. "I need all of your help."

Last, Queen Clarion found Periwinkle. The little fairy was sitting on the log that was over the river that separated Winter from the warm seasons.

"Mother Dove needs you," Queen Clarion said to her.

After Tink and Peri were permitted to be together again, Tink had taken her to Mother Dove. Mother Dove had said, "Oh! You're Periwinkle, Tinker Bell's twin! You are kind and caring, shyer than your sister, and the fairy that has helped Pixie Hollow so much."

Periwinkle flew to the Pixie Dust Tree. Her wings were already frosted because of the heat, so she could come right away.

When Queen Clarion arrived, Mother Dove began to speak.

"I have sensed great danger. I need you to move me and my nest to the hawthorn tree that is close to this tree I am in."

"But Mother Dove, you have been in this tree since before fairies," Lord Milori protested.

"I know," said Mother Dove. "But I must ask you to move me. If all goes well, you may move me back. But I fear it will not go well."

Fairy Gary sprinkled the nest with pixie dust. It began to float a few inches above the branches of the Pixie Dust Tree. Then, Queen Clarion, with the help of all the other fairies present, carried Mother Dove in her nest down to the hawthorn tree.

Mother Dove sighed a sigh of relief. Then she spoke to Fairy Gary. "Collect all the pixie dust you can from the tree."

She told the Ministers, "A change is very near. Do not panic when it comes."

She told Fairy Mary, "You and your tinkers will need to do many repairs. Be ready."

She told Lord Milori, "I need you to be strong. Something will happen, I can sense it. But when it comes, be strong."

She told Vidia, "When this change comes, it will change you too. Hold on to the hope that this change will not be permanent, and try not to become bitter."

She told Periwinkle, "You and Tinker Bell are very close. No matter what, love her."

Then she told Queen Clarion, "This change will be hardest on you. Don't let it break you. Stay strong for your fairies, and the time will come when you will be of help."

All the fairies there nodded, although they didn't understand what Mother Dove meant. But they said to themselves that they would pay heed to Mother Dove's instructions.
