To Black Cat, thanks for letting me know that in the books fairies can't swim. Where I live there isn't a wide variety for fiction books and sadly I don't have access to the Disney fairy books. Normally I like to keep my stories as cannon as possible and I was going to rewrite the chapter to fix it, but I decided against it. But still thanks for informing me. And to other part of you review, yes those comments were there for a reason. It's called tragic irony, learnt about in Lit class never thought I would be writing something sad enough to use it thought.

To everyone else who comments thanks for all the love and since most of you were asking for more. I know last chapter I said this one will had the coronation but it ended up being extremely long. But never fear, the next chapter is almost finished and should be up later today.

Clarion flew into the Queen's study.

"You called for me your Majesty?"

"Yes, there is something I want to talk to you about."

"This wouldn't be about the badgers, would it?"

"No, this is about the winter fairy."

"What…I…how…what are you talking about?"

"Are you really going to try and hide it from me?"

Clarion tried to look confused but she knew it was useless. "How did you know?"

"Dear, it is very hard to keep something from the Queen. You'll discover this soon enough." Annalisa said with a small smile. Clarion looked at her feet felling her cheeks heat up.

"So…" The queen continued "are you going to tell me?"

"Well, it's complicated." She said.

"We have tea and time." The queen sat down and gestured to the seat next to her. Clarion sat down. "How about you start from the beginning?" She suggested. Clarion took a breath.

"It started a couple weeks ago, we meet at the border purely by accident and we became friends. We met there every sunset."

"You became just friends."

"Amm, well maybe our relationship is a little more than platonic." Clarion said softly. Queen Annalisa smiled softly before speaking.

"Who knows of your…relationship?"

"Mary, of course. And one of Milori's friends. Dewey, he's the keeper of fairy knowledge."

"I see. Clarion I can tell you care deeply about him. He was the reason for your distressed trip to Tinker's nook yesterday, was it?"

"Yes." Clarion replied softly.

"My dear, I only want the best for you, but you realize there is no easy outcome for this situation."

"Believe me, I know." Clarion said.

"I wouldn't want anything to become a distraction for you."

"No! I would never let anything get in the way of my duties. I know my duty is firstly to Pixie Hollow." She said. "Does this mean you are postponing my coronation?"

"No, my dear. I actually had an inkling of your relationship before I decided it was time for you to take to the crown."

"You did?"

Queen Annalisa nodded. "Yes, and I also know you will put Pixie Hallow first no matter what?"

"Then why…"

"I asked you about him because, are you sure you want this kind of relationship? You can barely see him as is and it will become even more difficult when you take the crown. And it is dangerous as is for either of you to venture so close to the border."

Queen Annalisa didn't seem to know she had crossed the border altogether. She decided to it keep that way. But she sighed and stood up and walked over to the window. She could see in the distance the winter woods and Glacier Mount. She smiled at the memory of being there herself.

"Clarion?" Queen Annalisa voice brought her out her thoughts. She looked back at her.

"I don't have a choice in the matter." She said answering the queen's last question. "I can't stop the way I feel. Trust me, when we first meet I tried. I knew falling for him could be potentially disastrous. It didn't work. I fell still. I couldn't stop loving him….even if I wanted too."

Queen Annalisa smiled sadly. "I remember what it was like to be young and in love."

"You were in love your Majesty?"

"That is a story for another time. I won't stop you from seeing him. I have a feeling that I can't."

"Thank you."

"You should get going. You have much to do." Queen Annalisa said. Clarion gave her a quick bow before flying out to attend to her other duties. With the coronation she was busier than ever. A few hours later however she did have one thing on her to-do list that she was looking forward too. She flew into Thinker's nook and up to the workshop. Near the top she found Mary.

"Your Majesty." Mary said with a bow. Clarion rolled her eyes.

"Mary, you are the last person who will have to address me as 'your majesty'. And please do not bow."

"Well, you're not just my friend any more. I have to treat you as such."

"I hope this doesn't mean you won't come to my rescue anymore."

"I will anyways come to your rescue. That's what thinkers are for. We fix thinks." Mary said. Clarion smiled.

"Well, Fairy Mary how comes the plans for the coronation?"

"Smoothly as rainbow slide. It couldn't be going better. We are ahead of schedule."

"You know I can't remember the last time we went rainbow sliding."

"I think it was before I officially took over the tinker section. Well, there are many things we will be no longer be doing." Mary said. "Do you remember how mad Glimmer was when she saw what we did to her rainbow?"

"She sent a swarm of fireflies after us." Clarion said laughing. Mary laughed as well.

"You should get going." Mary said when they had finally stopped. "I believe you are required for measurements for your coronation gown."

"You're right. I'll see you Mary." Clarion fluttered off.

Milori was pacing in the library while Dewey was writing a chapter for another of his books.

"Dew, what am I going to do? Clarion's coronation is in two weeks.

"Get her a nice gift. The fairies like gifts. Why not an ice carving?"

"One, it would melt in the warm seasons, two, I can't get her something every winter sparrow man gives his girlfriend."

"Why not? Other than the melting thing. You are a winter sparrow man and she is your girlfriend."

"Dew, she's special. More than special. I need to be able to show her how much I care for her." Milori said. He waited for a response but got none.

"Dew?" Still none. "Dewey!"

"Give me a sec, for frost sake. Let me finish this chapter." He replied not looking up from his parchment. Curious Milori drifted behind him and began to read.

"Wingology. Glowing wings. Wings glow?"

"Well, I've never seen it, but there's a theory that is two fairies are b…"

"Dewey you can tell me later. I just had an idea." Milori said suddenly.

"For Clarion's gift?"

"Yes. Your book gave me the idea. Wings!"

"Wings? Doesn't she already have some?"

"No Dew, listen. Clarion come over here by protecting her wings from the cold. If we can figure out a way to protect my wings from the warm then I can go over to her side. I could go to her coronation!" Milori was grinning from ear to ear. "Then we can be together. Always." He was practically dancing now.

"Don't want to break your ice, but how are you going to do that?"

"Don't know yet. But I'm sure with your help I can figure it out."

"I don't know Milori, it does not sound so easy."

"Dew we have to figure it out. This would solve everything for me and Clarion."

"Alright. I'll help."

"Thanks Dew." He jumped into the air and flew to the door.

"Oie! Where are you going?"

"It's almost sundown."

"But I thought we were going to work on getting you to the warm seasons."

"Get started on it. I'll be back as soon I see Clarion." He called back.

"Milori…" but he was gone. "As soon as he sees Clarion?" Dewey said to himself. "Well I won't see him until tomorrow." He turned back to his book and began writing again.

Milori was riding on an ice board because, of his side, he couldn't fly for very long periods of time. When he saw Clarion already sitting there waiting for him, he flew forwards and swopped her up, kissing her quickly.

"Milori…mmh." She didn't have time to say anything else before she was kissing back. "What's gotten into you?" She said when he pulled back.

"I'm just really happy to see you." He said placing her down. She smiled.

"Well, it looks like your side is felling better."

"Much. Thanks to you and Mary. It still isn't the prettiest thing to look at but, other than that I can't complain. Other than not being able to fly very far."

"Just take it easy, remember. You wouldn't want to make it worst."

"No, not at all." He said. He placed his hand against her cheek and gently rubbed his thumb against her skin. "You look tired." He said.

"I am. Been busy all day."

"The coronation."

Clarion nodded and leaned against him. "I'm glad I can just relax right now. I feel like I've been flying around all day." She said. They sat down and he pulled her against him so her back was against his chest. She hummed softly as he messaged her shoulders. "That feels good." She said softly laying her head against his shoulder. She closed her eyes. But after a little while she jerks up.

"What's wrong?"

"I nodded off." She said. He smiled and pulled against her against him again.

"It's alright, you can sleep if you want." He said. She shook her head.

"No, that would be rude." She said. But even as she said the tiredness in her voice was evident.

"Shush, close your eyes." He said. "It's fine. You must be tired. I won't mind." He said. This time she just nodded, closing her eyes. It was long before she drifted off again. Milori smiled as he watched her. He kissed her forehead and sighed as he listened to the steady sound of her breathing. He knew he had to find a way for them to be together.

I promise the next chapter will be up today.

Nardragon~ until the next page.
