Chapter 4

As Tinker Bell and the others made their way to the Pixie Dust Tree, other fairies began to take notice. David was being half carried, half dragged by Tinker Bell and Iridessa. David was covered in dirt, mud, and scrapes. The other fairies followed them as they made their way to the Pixie Dust Tree. Both Tinker Bell and Iridessa had to fly him up to the heart of the tree, where the Pixie Dust flowed and where Queen Clarion was. David was struggling to stay conscious.

Once they had arrived, Tinker Bell noticed that Queen Clarion was talking with all four of the Ministers of Seasons. The Minister of Autumn noticed them and gasped. The other Ministers noticed as well and gasped as well, The Minister of Spring nearly fainting.

Queen Clarion turned as well, and flew over to them. She waved her hand, causing a clump of mushrooms to grow and form a makeshift table and said, "Quickly, lay him down." Tinker Bell and Iridessa moved David to the mushroom table, grunting as they went. David tried to move, but found he was too weak to do so. They gently lifted him and placed him on the table. "What happened? I must know what happened."

Tinker Bell explained to Queen Clarion that she had run out of Pixie Dust when she informed David that the Garden fairies were safe, and how he had endangered his own life just to save her.

Iridessa then explained that after Rosetta had healed, they along with Fawn, Silvermist, and Vidia went to look for the two of them and how badly he looked.

Finally, Tinker Bell told Queen Clarion that he had to see her for some unknown reason.

Once they finished Queen Clarion flew over to David, who was barely conscious, and said, "David, can you hear me?" David's eyes partly opened, and he nodded his head. "I understand you needed to see me. What is it?" David was about to say something, but he had stopped mid-word. He turned his head slowly to the flow of Pixie Dust and stared at it. Queen Clarion also looked at the Pixie Dust, a similar look on her face. David started to get up, but was stopped by Tinker Bell and the others.

"Let him go," Queen Clarion said, her attention still on the Pixie Dust. They stepped back and let David sit up. He had a pained look as he tried to stand, and was almost stopped by Tinker Bell again. Queen Clarion moved over to David and helped him up.

"Thank you, Queen Clarion," David said, pain obvious in his voice. Queen Clarion continued to help him to the Pixie Dust until he doubled over from the pain, right at the edge of the pool of Pixie Dust.

Tinker Bell flew over to him, ignoring Queen Clarion, and said, "David!" She turned to Queen Clarion and said, "What's wrong with him, he should have stayed on-". She was cut off by Queen Clarion, who pointed to David. Tinker Bell looked, and saw he was picking up some Pixie Dust with his hand. He held it up to his face, and crushed it. He continued to tighten his hand, until exhaled and fell face down on the floor.

Tinker Bell shook his body and said, "David?" She shook his body again, more forcefully.

"David?!" She checked his breathing and pulse.

Neither were there!

"David!"

She stopped trying to wake him up and just sat there, next to his lifeless body. The other fairies, having seen this, began to cry. Some cried out loud, others silently shedding tears. The only one who wasn't crying was Queen Clarion. Tinker Bell began to cry harder, until she broke out completely in tears.

David was gone.

Queen Clarion moved to Tinker Bell and kneeled beside her. "Tinker Bell, why are you crying?" Tinker Bell paused for a moment, looking at Queen Clarion sadly.

"David is...gone," she replied, breaking into tears once more. Queen Clarion shook her head.

"He isn't gone. Look in his hand." Tinker Bell stopped crying and looked at David's hand, still clenching the Pixie Dust. She opened it, expecting to see crushed Pixie Dust. Instead, she stopped crying completely and gasped at what was in his hand.

There was now a small, beautiful, golden butterfly in his hands. She looked at it closer, and saw it was made entirely of Pixie Dust: the wings, the body, even the legs. She touched the butterfly and, surprisingly, it flew. Its wings flapped slowly, as if in slow motion and landed on David's back. After it landed, it began to dig its legs into his back. Once it had fully put its legs into his back, it lost its glow, and David snapped awake, gasping for air.

Tinker Bell was startled for a second, but sat him up straight and embraced him. He began to hug back, and they could hear the other fairies cheering. Tinker Bell opened her eyes, and gasped slightly. She held him out, and saw his outfit was changing. Though the design remained the same, the color was changing. His clothes slightly rippled changing from their pale blue color to a vibrant golden color. David stood up and examined his clothes, and Queen Clarion moved behind him.

"Now, let's finally see those wings." David turned to look at her, confusion on his face. Before he could say anything, Queen Clarion grasped the wings of the butterfly, still in his back, and pulled. What happened next amazed everyone.

The wings began to grow, lengthening and widening to the size of a fairy. Once she had finished, everyone saw what his wings looked like. They were similar to a butterfly's (Monarch to be exact), and seemed like they were made of Pixie Dust. Tinker Bell was too amazed to speak. The other fairies were whispering to themselves.

"I have wings," David said, quietly.

"I have wings," he said again, a bit louder this time and examining his wings.

"I have wings," he said, at a normal speaking voice, turning to Tinker Bell.

"I have wings!" He said, loudly.

He jumped into the air and flapped his wings. He flew around the tree, leaving a trail of Pixie Dust behind him. After going around the tree for the fifth time, he flew straight up, through the branches, and into the night sky. He looked below him, seeing the entirety of Pixie Hollow below him. He looked at every corner of Pixie Hollow, a smile plastered on his face. He gazed at the moon, eventually closing his eyes and absorbing the moonlight. He looked back down, and saw the Pixie Dust Tree, and decided he should go back.

Once he had flown down to where the others were, Tinker Bell caught him in a hug, which he returned. They held each other for a few minutes before Queen Clarion caught their attention. David let go, still smiling, and looked at Queen Clarion.

"Your talent has finally revealed itself. You have what is known as a hidden talent."

"A hidden talent?" David asked, unsure of what she meant.

"Yes. A hidden talent is a rare talent that is earned, not chosen. Your particular talent happens to be mine as well, the Magic-talent."

"Magic? Like spells?" David asked again.

Queen Clarion nodded her head, "Yes, but it also means you are able to use the other talents as well." David smiled, but Queen Clarion continued, a bit of sorrow in her voice. "This, I'm afraid, means you will have to move out of Tinker's Nook and live with me." David's smile dropped slowly, and Tink lowered her head in understanding. "I am truly sorry, but it is the best way to help discipline you and your talent." She looked into the sky and saw that it was now dark, and the other fairies had returned home. "Tinker Bell, I think you should head home, it's late." Tinker Bell nodded her head and started to fly off, but was stopped by David.

"Hey, I'm not going to be gone forever. See you tomorrow?" He looked at Queen Clarion, who had heard him and nodded her head. Tink smiled and said, "Yeah, okay." David hugged her, then held her out, looking into her eyes. Then he did something that caught her off guard.

He kissed her.

It was on the cheek, but it made Tinker Bell blush wildly. David smiled and followed Queen Clarion into an opening in the tree. Tinker Bell stood there for a few more seconds, before a smile appeared on her face. She then flew off, quietly cheering.

David was following Queen Clarion through the inside of the tree. She stopped at a knot in the tree and touched it. It flashed a little, and opened into a doorway. She motioned for him to go inside, and he did so reluctantly. He looked in and saw that it was supposed to be his "room". The bed was elegantly made, with what appeared to be a brass frame. There was a light next to the bed, enchanted Pixie Dust. He continued to look around his room and saw that in the walls were scrolls.

He decided to look at them later, and heard Queen Clarion say, "Good night David, I'll see you in the morning." She said it like a mother would to her child, and David sat on the bed. The enchanted light was dimming, and he got under the warm blankets. The light didn't go out entirely, leaving a soft glow on the walls. David stared at the ceiling, thinking about all that happened today. When he remembered Tink blushing, he felt himself blush as well. He closed his eyes and drifted to sleep, still smiling.


Like I said, I wouldn't kill him off...yet. So, David's talent is Magic, and the same one as Queen Clarion's. Also, just to let you know, this story will not become T or M rated just because of that one kiss. Anyway, R&R, PM, Later!
