Special Episode: A Day In the Life of A Fairy Princess

HERE IT ISSS THE FIRST SPECIAL EPISODE PLS ENJOYYYY

It was a Friday morning, and Penn was getting ready to leave the house. He was quite reluctant since he had nearly four quizzes that day. It also meant he would have to leave Verge home. He was yawning as he slipped his backpack on and opened the door to his bedroom. "You'll be alright here, right, Verge? I hate leaving you alone at home."

"Of course!" Verge said, waving a hand. "I'm heading downtown to volunteer for the animal shelter anyway. Don't worry about me!"

"Alright, ya little rascal." He patted her on the head. Even in her human form, the fairy was surprisingly short, much to her disappointment, and she pouted when Penn laughed. "Don't go too far!"

"I won't."

The redhead left the room, closing the door behind him.

At that, Verge turned, holding her MUHU, and twisted the ring around the screen. It switched to its MUT mode, and immediately the screen glowed and showed the background of Fairy World in it.

Smiling, Verge got her leaf slingbag, put it around her neck, and zapped herself in.

When she arrived, the fairy princess realized she was in the Summer Valley, she found herself instinctively flying her way back to her parents' palace. She had only visited Fairy World at most more than three times but it was like her memories of her past were coming back to her. Fairies of different talents were working hard at their jobs when some noticed and waved at her.

Verge waved back happily.

The fairy princess felt bad for lying to her friends, but they were always telling her that she was spending more time in the Fairy Dimension. She had to play it safe and let them know she wasn't getting...well, addicted.

She got back to the castle, flying through the window to the throne room. She found the King sitting on his throne, looking through some scrolls as a fairy in a blue dress was holding them up. King Lauqui was so immersed in his reading he didn't notice his daughter's arrival. "Yes, well, wouldn't we all like some sunglasses around here…"

"Dad!" Verge flew over in a second and tackled her father into a hug in his seat.

The King was very surprised. "Oh, my darling!" He instantly hugged back, much to his shock. "What a lovely fright you gave me there."

The thirteen-year old fairy laughed. "Where's Mom?"

"She's off at her palace in Winter Woods. Winter is only a few months away, after all!"

"Wait, you have a palace in the Winter Woods too?"

"Why, yes!" King Lauqui finally rolled his scroll up, placed it in his assistant's arms, and waved her off. "Long ago, Warm fairies and Winter fairies could not cross the border that separates the heat and the cold. It was very dangerous! But many years ago, warm fairies started wearing coats in winter woods and winter fairies created protective frost coats for their wings to wear in the warm valleys. It started becoming a big trend until children of warm and winter began to emerge, and fairies just naturally became genetically used to crossing over!"

"Wow, that's amazing!" Verge gaped. "So are you and Mom children of both?"

"Well, in truth, I was originally a purebred warm fairy and your mother was purebred winter. But at your birth, your abilities were strong enough to magically share your power to cross both borders to us!"

"That's…strangely unnatural!"

King Lauqui chuckled as he directed his daughter to the window that faced Winter Woods. "Yes, indeed, it is complicated. But that's just one of the many mysterious gifts you brought this land. At your birth, the lands seemed to prosper even more. The amount of pixie dust grew, the animals were more cooperative! We celebrated your arrival for ten days because our success rate grew to 20%!"

"Geez," Verge laughed light and rubbed the back of her head. "I wasn't that special, was I?"

"You were, and still are, very special." Her father rubbed Verge's thick brown hair, and she smiled. "This is why the hawks wanted to take you away from us. But now you are here for good. As the princess of Fairy World, I want you to understand how important it is to rule your subjects and continue to be a blessing to us all."

The weight of his words seemed to make Verge's heart drop, but she still stood up straight in anticipation. "I'll do whatever it takes, Dad. When can I start?"

"Well, as you said, we can start working now! Which fairy talent would you like to help first?"

"Um, first off, how exactly am I helping…?"

"Since autumn is nearing, we are going to be helping our fairy subjects in Autumn Plains! I believe some animal fairies are busy tending to our animals."

"Cool! I love animals! Let's go!"

She was the one who was practically pulling her father out the palace window.

The two fairies flew above the wide-open plains and from above, Verge marveled at the sight. Every time she visited, she still couldn't get over the cheerfulness of her fairy subjects, or at the idea that everyone was more than excited to see her each time. She still loved seeing that there were actual species like her that existed in one world. Her whole life she'd dreamed of living among them, but this was so much better.

Verge almost forgot about her worries.

"Over there is the animal fairies' area," King Lauqui said, pointing.

They began to fly upright, as the royals fluttered gently as they landed on the ground. Every fairy that had seen them had gathered around their landing spot, and were whispering excitedly at their arrival.

A young, redheaded fairy with poofy hair flew over. She was wearing an orange cocktail dress made out of leaves and a bright smile on her face. She bowed before Verge and her father. "My king! My princess! It is an honor to see you at our area here today!"

"I must apologize for the intrusion," King Lauqui started. "Verge, dear, this is Arianna, the Head Animal Fairy."

Verge curtsied politely. "It's nice to meet you."

"My princess Divergent, the pleasure is all mine!" The redhead also bowed towards her as well. "But to what do I owe the pleasure?"

King Lauqui cleared his throat. "My daughter is to begin her princess training in all talents around Fairy World. She would like to start her assistance here."

Verge couldn't help but laugh lightly. "It's actually funny because princess in most worlds would just sit at a throne and look pretty." It seemed that no one looked amused at her joke. "But it's good! I love helping out! I'm so excited to get started!"

"That enthusiasm is expected from the princess of fairies!" Arianna giggled. "It'd be amazing to get your help, princess. Follow me, my animal fairies are just beginning to teach some of our squirrels how to hibernate!"

And Verge did. She followed the Head Animal Fairy to a few trees in the woods, and saw more fairies in orange clothing tending to squirrels, rabbits, and other furry animals. The moment she saw them, she couldn't help squealing out loud and fast-flying right over to a bunny.

"These animals are so cute!"

A grumpy little bunny made weird grunting noises as Verge hugged its little neck. But just as the fairy began to rub its tummy, it actually started to purr and nuzzle against her. She laughed like a child and the bunny snuggled closer.

Arianna stared in shock. She knew animal fairies loved animals, but she had never seen such affection this much, especially in their princess. King Lauqui laughed nervously. "She…loves animals!"

More bunnies began to jump up and gather around her, bundling her up in a fluffy hill of fur. Verge hugged each one of them, gushing about how cute they all were. Some of the fairies nearby started complaining about how they had just gotten them to nap.

Arianna cleared her throat as her animal fairies' voices rose. "My princess, this behavior is completely inappropriate in the workspace and is interfering with the other fairies' efforts!"

"Oh!" Verge's pale skin blushed in embarrassment. "Of course! Um…alright little guys!" She hopped on one of the bunnies and pointed towards to trees. "Whoever goes to their tree to nap first gets more cuddles! Onwards!"

The bunnies suddenly started another furry rampage and hopped into the woods. Some animal fairies yelped and moved out of the way as they watched their princess lead their animals into a stampede, while at the same time somehow manage to do their jobs for them. Before they knew it, all rabbits were tucked away and bundled up in orange and red leaves for autumn.

"What marvelous taming!" Arianna couldn't help but gasp. She flew deeper into the forest, where Verge was, and King Lauqui looked impressed himself.

Verge, who got off her bunny, flew over to them sheepishly. "Back in the Dinosaur Cowboy World, I was pretty good at riding my hawkosaur."

"I don't precisely understand that sentence, but that was incredible!" The Head Animal Fairy put an arm around Verge with a smirk. "As expected from the princess of many talents!"

Verge beamed. Clearly, her father and Arianna looked proud, and some other animal fairies applauded her a bit. But then she began to notice the other fairies that were whispering, looking annoyed. She overheard the words of "weird" and "gonna steal our jobs." At this, her golden wings began to droop.

"Next, we'll visit the water fairies," King Lauqui said, flying beside Verge. "They're by the Grand River."

The Grand River was long and wide, with some trees surrounding it. The same scene happened when the royal fairies landed, but this time a male fairy dressed in a blue suit made of leaves approached them. "What a lovely surprise! Good morrow King Lauqui, Princess Divergent!"

"Please," Verge curtsied. "Call me Verge!"

"Is she here to finally assist us, my King?"

"Why, yes, Clarence," the King replied. "Were you about to place your dewdrops on spider webs?"

"It is one of the things we are working on! Right this way!"

The fairies approached an area of the river where lots of spider webs seemed to hang on the branches of trees. "Why are there water fairies when fairies' wings can't get wet?" Verge questioned.

"You see princess, water is an essential element of nature, and we water fairies have the important duty of mastering its art! We control water, bend it to our will, and help other fairies with it!"

"I see…"

Some water fairies were already by the river, taking droplets and placing them on the webs. Verge smiled to herself. "Looks like fun!"

Suddenly, Clarence went all up in her face, flying uncomfortably close with large, widened eyes. "Water fairy work is serious business."

The fairy princess blinked hard and moved away. "Um, okay…"

King Lauqui just smiled. "Go on, sweetie."

Verge flew over, just inches above the river water, approaching a bunch of fairies. One fairy with long dark hair grinned as she saw her. "Good day, princess!"

"Hello! I'm Verge!"

"Of course I know your name, princess! I'm Aqualine."

"Nice to meet you! Need some help?"

"Yes! It would be an honor!"

"But uh…I don't often do water fairy things, uh…how does this work?"

Aqualine giggled. "It's simple, Princess Verge." She demonstrated her actions carefully as she spoke. "You scoop your hands into the river and pick up a giant bubble of water. Then you hurriedly but carefully fly on over to a web and…voila!"

"Neat!" Verge flew over, admiring the web. "I wanna try!"

"Go ahead, princess!"

"Hmm…but wouldn't it be better to just…control the water to go to the webs?"

"Um…that's not how it works—"

Verge still tried though, and willed small droplets of water to rise from the air without her having to touch it. They followed her movements, and the fairy quickly dropped them down onto the spider webs and they formed dew drops. The fairies below looked up, a bit shocked at her technique. Verge continued to do the same thing with the other webs.

"Princess Verge," Aqualine still looked doubtful at her actions. "Dewdrops are very delicate—"

All of a sudden, all the water droplets began to slip from the white spider threads. The water fairies below yelped and flew away when the dewdrops began to crash down on them. Some actually got hit by the water, and weren't able to fly for a while.

Verge gasped and flew to them, helping a fairy up. "Oh my wings, I'm so sorry everyone! I-I thought it would work—"

Aqualine placed her hand on the fairy princess' shoulder. "It's alright Princess, everyone makes mistakes!" She smiled politely. "But I think we can handle things from here. Perhaps you would like to p will the water to help our garden fairies plant their bulbs?"

Verge only sighed sadly. "I suppose…"

She looked over her shoulder. Clarence was tapping his foot impatiently and her father gave a smile that said "Try again next time."

But the brunette fairy only sighed again. "I think I need to lie down."

"Verge—" King Lauqui tried to call out to his daughter, but the fairy had already flown off.

Verge found herself in the Winter Woods, where she hoped her father couldn't reach her. After hearing those mean comments from the animal fairies and hurting the water fairies like she did, she was starting to feel confused on what exactly was being suspected of her. She sat atop a snowy mountain with her knees tucked under her chin and the whole Fairy World for her to see.

This was supposed to be the world she would be ruling one day…she couldn't possibly do it all on her own.

At this moment, Verge felt like a threat to her own subjects. "I should've just stayed with Zero," she muttered. "I fail as a human and a fairy…"

"Princess Verge?"

Verge nearly fell off the mountain when she turned around. A winter fairy with snow-white hair and had pale shorts and shirt on approached her. He was quite surprised to see Verge just sitting there by herself, and he flew closer. "H-hello," Verge stuttered out. "Sorry, I just came to think, I can leave if you want—"

"It's fine, princess!" the fairy reassured. "It's a free Fairy World! Oh, where are my manners, I'm Frostbite!"

"What a cute name!" She suddenly blushed at what she just said.

Frostbite chuckled. "Thank you, your Highness. May I ask, what are you doing here on Frost Mountain?"

"Well…I'm kind of going through princess training right now? I'm supposed to learn all the ways of different fairy jobs and stuff."

"Well, I don't think I've heard any news of you covering winter fairy talents yet! I'd be happy to show you around—"

"It's alright, Frostbite…this is why I'm here." Verge sighed and gazed back at her view of the world. "I just don't feel very princess-y. I think fairies are worried I'll take over for all of fairy-kind or that I'll hurt them in some way. I think I'm…weird."

"Are you kidding?!" The white-haired fairy flew before her. "You're the most special, most talented fairy of all time! There's no way you could hurt anyone, and even if you did, no one could blame you if it was an accident! Besides, isn't that why you're here? To prevent incidents as you helo fairies along?"

The brunette hesitated. "I…guess…"

"Also, there's no way you can do every single fairy job all at once! In time for each season? No way. It takes a kingdom to prepare each of the seasons. You need your rest too!"

Verge laughed a bit. "You're right…"

Frostbite took her hands and gripped them. "You're not a mess-up or anything. Please let me prove it, princess, and join me at Frost Forest. We're practicing how to frost the leaves!"

The royal fairy was still very reluctant, but Frostbite was very persuasive. "Sure!"

They flew to the lower areas of the mountain, where a secret cave served as the entrance to the forest. Inside, there were lots of frozen leaves that sprouted out from the ground, and winter fairies that were tending to them. There were lots of plants for the fairies to practice on, and they did so by touching the leaves lightly, covering them in a thicker layer of frost.

"Wow!" Verge's eyes twinkled at the sight. "It's beautiful!"

Frostbite lead her to a plant. "Try it out, princess."

She was scared to mess up again. What if her ice powers were too strong? What if she broke a few plants? But when she looked at Frostbite – his encouraging smile and dark grey eyes that watched her - her worries seemed to melt away.

She touched the plant lightly, and a thick frost coat enveloped the entire plant. She expected more to happen, but smiled to realize how beautiful what she'd just created was.

Frostbite flew in a circle around Verge, laughing. "You did it! Come on, princess, race ya to the end of the forest!" He started hopping over frost plants, making sure his foot touched them and had frosted them before he jumped onto another.

With a hearty laugh, she raced after him.

They jumped across the forest, frosting each plant they stepped on, and Verge actually found this a lot of fun. She found it a bit difficult, since she had been so used to flying with her wings, but for Frostbite, it seemed like he was having no trouble. This shot a reminder through Verge at how fairies acted like humans too. She picked up her pace, but still couldn't seem to go after the winter fairy.

When they finally reached the other end of the cave, Frostbite appeared to have won, and he did a victory leap just before Verge tackled him to the ground. The two fell deep into the snow, and laughed even more at themselves.

Verge flew upwards, dusting herself off. "That was fun!"

"See, princess?" Frostbite grinned. "You can do your job. And you can do it well!"

The fairy princess smiled sheepishly. "Thanks, but…call me Verge!"

Frostbite bowed mockingly. "Whatever you say, Princess Verge!"

The brunette fairy curtsied and stuck her tongue out at him. The two fairies laughed.

"I guess I'd better continue my royal duties, huh?"

"Yep. I supposed I'll see you around?"

"You know it!"

With a final wave, Verge flew off the ground and went on her way.

Just by the border of Spring Hills and Summer Valley, the Tinker fairies were hard at work and were weaving baskets. Verge had never weaved before, and kind blonde fairy offered to teach her. They started chatting for a bit until a runaway wagon started speeding towards them.

While the other fairies scattered out of its way, Verge flew towards it and used wind to make it skid to a halt. The fairies that had been chasing the wagon thanked her kindly, and they offered to fix the wagon together.

Verge nodded, joyful.

With the garden fairies, Verge seemed very giddy at the sight of little bulbs with tiny feet and could dig their own way into the ground. A nice garden fairy with ribbons in her hair taught her how to lead her own sproutling bulbs with caution.

To Verge, it was just like taming an animal, so she couldn't help cuddling her bulb just before it buried itself into the ground.

The fast-flying fairies didn't look bothered at all when Verge suddenly joined in to help them gather all the autumn leaves into a pile. The group she was in caused all the loose leaves from the trees to fall off and landed perfectly onto the forest floor.

Once they were done, a fairy in a purple dress patted the princess' back, causing Verge to grin.

Once she'd realized it was almost time for her part-time fairy guide job, she flew straight back to the palace and was surprised to see both her parents there waiting. King Lauqui and Queen Larion tackled her into a hug the moment she stepped foor on the palace floor.

"Oh, my dear Verge," the Queen gushed. "I'm so proud of you! I heard many good words about you from the fairies. You're such a delight!"

"I knew you had it in you!" King Lauqui said proudly. "You are my daughter, after all."

This earned a nudge from the Queen. "Ahem."

"Our daughter, yes, that's what I meant!"

Verge giggled. "Thanks Mom, Dad. It was great to be here! Can't wait to come back!"

Queen Larion smiled sweetly. "You do know you can stay here forever if you wanted to."

Verge rolled her eyes. "Mooom, we talked about this. I belong in the human world too, with Zero, Boone, and Sashi! I'm a part-time fairy guide!"

"But you can't be a full-time princess." King Lauqui's voice suddenly turned very serious. "One of these days, I must insist that you decide, Divergent. Whether you want to be a fairy princess or a regular human."

Now, Verge was frowning. "What do you mean?"

"There will come a time when you will rule these lands on your own, dear. And you can't have a human as a husband. You can't just go back on forth from our worlds to the humans' whenever you want either! Unless…"

"Unless…?"

The King and Queen exchanged a worried look before Verge's mother continued. "Unless you decide you want to be a human for the rest of your life. A fairy can actually become a human themselves by cutting off their wings."

Verge's blue eyes widened, her hand instinctively coming up behind her to touch her wings. "Give up their wings…? Why?"

"Well, some fairies are crazy enough to do that," King Lauqui laughed apathetic ally. "This is another reason why the hawks wanted to get you before…they knew cutting off your wings would kill us greatly."

Queen Larion stepped forward to hold both of Verge's dainty hands and gaze into her eyes. "Of course, we could never stop you from finding your happiness. Whatever decision you make, we can learn to be alright with that. But we need to let you know of the consequences each decision brings."

"So…what you're saying is…I have to either stay a fairy and stay in this world for a long time, giving up living with Zero and being a part-time fairy guide forever…or give up being a fairy forever, and be forced to live as a human and never see you guys again?"

"We could always make things work!" King Lauqui put in. "You could always visit this Zero friend of yours, or if you're a human we can visit you! Of course, we're only allowed to during the seasonal changes…"

This news was very big to Verge, and in all honesty, it was going to be a tough decision for her to make.

Still, she told her parents with confidence, "There is no way I'm going to give up my wings. And there's no way I'll lose you guys again."

Queen Larion's blue eyes teared up a bit as she hugged her daughter. "I love you, my princess."

"I love you too Mom…"

King Lauqui joined in the hug and together, the three stayed that way for quite some time.

Verge was the first to pull away. "Alright, I gotta go! It's not like I'm leaving for good anyway! I'll…think about what you told me, though."

"See you soon, sweetie." The King and Queen waved their hands and Verge held her MUT up.

The brunette gave a small smile. "Bye…"

With a zap, she was gone.

Verge ended up inside the Odyssey, and she flew through the theatre doors and found Penn, Boone, and Sashi already on the platform. "You are late," Phyllis said stoically.

The fairy only smiled apologetically as she went to fly over her friends. "Sorry, Phyllis! Had a hold-up."

"Man, you're not always so late, Verge," Boone commented, reaching up to poke her in the side. Verge pouted at that.

"Yeah, what gives?" Penn smirked a bit. "Did those animals give you a hard time?"

"That would be weird," Sashi commented, pounding her fist against her palm. "Considering what you can do."

Verge only chuckled. "Let's just say I had a lot of my plate."

With that, the four got zapped to work.

How was that for the first special episode? I based a lot of the parts of Fairy World on my knowledge of Tinker Bell movies! I tried my best not to copy everything but still make Fairy World seem as real as any ordinary Penn Zero World! I hope I achieved my goal.

But now you know what it would be like for Verge as a typical fairy princess! I did my best to try and seem like everything fit into the original time of a PZ episode (this was 10 pages long on MS word-). I really hope you guys liked it!

I'll start the next Penn episode tomorrow maybe!
