That night in Pixiehollow, all the fairies and animals were fast asleep in their beds.

All of them dreaming of work, friends playing together or that their prayers had been answered by Mother Dove.

But someone was having troubled dreams and that someone was young Clara as she tossed and turned in her sleep.

Dream Scape: Clara was dreaming of the fairies screaming for her to help as the darkness enveloped them and the hollow.

"Someone help me!" Clara cried out in her mind, she was scared and wanted to save everyone but couldn't do it by herself.

"You can do this!" A gentle boy's Scottish voice told her, Clara looked around until she felt a hand gently grip her hand softly.

Clara's dreams went from bad and scary to good and sweet as she gently gripped the hand that was holding onto her hand.

A light shone and outlined a shadow of the boy. "Who are you?" Clara asked him, the boy chuckled lightly at her question.

"Don't worry, we'll meet soon but until then you must be strong for me." The boy responded, Clara smiled softly at his words.

"You seem familiar to me." Clara told the boy, she could feel him smiling. "We'll remember each other soon." The boy replied to her.

Clara tilted her head in confusion. "We've met before." Clara stated, the boy chuckled again before his shadow vanished.

Once the shadow was gone, Clara looked to see that she was in the living room of the boarding house for school that she lived in.

"Why am I in here?" Clara asked herself, she then spotted the cabinet that was filled with toys including her handsome nutcracker.

This nutcracker was special because it looked like a fairy soldier and she'd gotten it for her birthday last Christmas morning the year before.

Clara smiled at her nutcracker as she picked him up like the character did in in the movie, The Nutcracker Prince before dancing with him.

[Play Clara's song from The Nutcracker Prince]

[Clara]

If you could hear me now

If I could only get through

I'd open my heart,

Whisper my dreams

Share all my secrets with you

If you could see me now

Waiting for someone to hold

Someone so brave

Who's never afraid

Someone who's strong

Like the knights of old

I'd save this dance for you

I hope it lasts forever

So let one star shine through

And make my wish come true

If you could hear this song

This dance would last forever

I'd carry us along

To a place where we belong!

At the end of the song, Clara set her nutcracker down then curtsied to her dance partner. "Thank you for the lovely dance." Clara said with a smile, she looked at her nutcracker.

Clara gasped softly as she thought that her nutcracker had changed for a moment into a fairy so she rubbed her eyes and checked her nutcracker as he stared at her like he normally did.

"That's funny...I thought." Clara murmured to herself, soon though Clara felt herself start to awaken. "Guess my dream is coming to an end." Clara said sadly, she didn't want to wake up.

But sadly, Clara looked down at herself and noticed that she was see through as she heard someone calling her name. "Clara!" A gentle and loving voice called out, the dream ended there.

End Dream Scape: When Clara woke up, she opened her eyes and saw another fairy. "Who're you?" Clara asked kindly, the fairy laughed sweetly. "I'm Lyria." The fairy answered Clara.

"I am a storytelling talent." Lyria added with a smile, Clara smiled back. "That's amazing! I bet you get to tell all kinds of stories!" Clara said excitedly, Lyria laughed at her enthusiasm.

"That my guild and I do." Lyria replied to her, Clara was really happy but then became thoughtful. "What're you doing here?" Clara asked Lyria, she gave Clara a hopeful look right away.

"I was wondering if you would be interested in telling a story with my guild tonight." Lyria admitted, Clara looked at her. "Are you serious?" Clara asked in surprise, Lyria nodded 'yes'.

"That would be awesome!" Clara said enthusiastically, she quickly went behind the changing screen. "What kind of story though?" Clara asked as she changed into a white flower dress.

"Perhaps a story from the mainland?" Lyria suggested, Clara came out then put on her ballet slippers. "I do know one that we could do if everyone agrees." Clara responded to Lyria.

"We'll ask them." Lyria told Clara, the two went to eat breakfast before heading over to a theater where the other storytelling talents were waiting for them before bring up the ideas.

The fairies and sparrow men each wanted to do a different story for tonight's performance but then asked Clara what her idea was when Lyria had brought it up to them right then.

"I was thinking we could do the story of the snow queen." Clara said nervously, the storytellers were intrigued. "What happens in that story?" A fairy named Melody asked in awe.

Clara smiled and told them story about a girl named Gerda has to save her best friend Kai from the evil Snow Queen who wants to use her giant mirror to cover the world in darkness.

All the storytellers were enchanted by the story as Clara told it to them and they felt as though they were in the story so when the story ended, they all snapped out of their trance.

"So...what do you think?" Clara asked them, the fairies and sparrow men talked it over. "We all agree! That's the story we'll do!" A sparrow men named Percy answered Clara happily.

Clara's eyes sparkled in happiness as she and the others all got to work on getting the story ready as well the dances that would be added along with who was playing which part.

Everyone was happy about this new story that they would be telling and couldn't wait until tonight as they got everything ready while stopping to eat lunch then dinner a while later.

A few hours later, Lyria and Clara did a final check on everyone and everything as fairies and sparrow men arrived. "It's show time!" Melody told her guild, it was story time now.

The audience were as enchanted as the storytellers had been with the story as Lyria and Clara took turns telling them the story of the Snow Queen and everyone loved the story too.

No one could deny that the story mirrored exactly what was happening now but they also gained hope that everything would be alright now that Clara was there to save them all.

Soon, the story came to an end as Gerda and Kai got their happily ever after and once the curtains closed, everyone stood up as they cheered as loud as they could in total happiness.

Clara and the storytelling talents bowed while radiating pure joy. "It was the perfect story." Lyria told Clara, she blushed. "You guys were amazing." Clara responded to her friend.

"Bravo!" A Scottish voice called out, Clara turned and saw a sparrow man with red hair and goggle like glasses. "Who's that?" Clara asked pointing to him, Lyria looked at the male fairy.

"That's Bobble, he's a tinker fairy." Lyria answered Clara, she and Bobble locked eyes as they sparkled in recognition. "It's him/her!" Clara and Bobble thought in shock as they held gazes.

In that moment, everyone and everything vanished from their minds. "My prince." Clara thought happily. "My princess!" Bobble thought with a smile, they've finally remembered each other.

Clara and Bobble knew that they would save the talk for the next day because both were exhausted and they needed their rest, so they agreed to meet up at breakfast the next morning.

Once the audience left, Lyria took Clara back to her room and after saying goodnight, the two parted ways so they could go to sleep but Clara didn't change out of her dress as she fell asleep.

As Clara slept, she didn't know that Drosselmeyer had planned on her and Bobble meeting so soon as it needed to happen. "Another piece to the puzzle." He said with a creepy laugh that rang.

New chapter done! I don't the song in this chapter and the nutcracker prince is a real movie, I also don't own the snow queen.

I do own Melody and Percy but not Bobble, please review and no flames!
