So now we continue our story. I hope you enjoy what happens next, but please stay tuned. You never know what adventures, heartbreak, or romance are lurking around the next corner...
"YES PLEASE!" All the fairies blurted out at once, unable to hold back their excitement. Clarion let out a small giggle at their answer.
"Alright then girls. Where would you like me to sit?" There were two chairs available, one was to Tinkerbell's left and the other was right beside Silvermist.
"Queen Clarion you can sit by Tinkerbell. The last seat is for-"
"It's for me!" Vidia had just walked through the doorway and she did not look happy.
"What's she doing here?" Vidia gestured at her Queen standing behind Tinkerbell. "Who invited Queeny?"
"I did!" Tinkerbell said rather louder than she had intended.
"Tinkerbell! You useless pile of a fairy! Why did you do that?! FIRST, you paint me green and now THIS!"
"VIDIA! That is enough!" Queen Clarion almost lost her cool. She almost shouted at the young fairy, who looked like she was about to erupt. "Apologize to Tinkerbell, please."
"Fine! Tinkerbell I'm-" She turned to yell at the fairy but Tinkerbell was gone! Before she could react, Vidia felt dizzy. The world seemed to spin and her heart felt like it was about to give out. Then Vidia fell to the floor blacking out as her head hit the wood floor.
"Vidia!" Clarion and the remaining girls screamed. Clarion flew to her side where Vidia had landed. She put her ear to her chest but heard nothing…
"Girls quick get the healing fairies, Vidia heart has stopped!" Clarion tried to stay calm but she couldn't hide her worry. Silvermist and Iridessa flew out of the Tea Room as fast as their wings could take them. Rosetta and Fawn stayed behind to make sure their friend would be alright. Fawn and Rosetta came and sat on the other side of Vidia.
"Can you do anything to help her, Queen Clarion?"
"I may be able to restart her heart."
"Then please do it!"
"Alright, I will try… Stand back." The girls did as they were told. Clarion harnessed her storm powers, her eyes turned a deep shade of purple. Her hands now had sparks of electricity buzzing around her fingers. She placed her hands on Vidia's chest and zapped he with lightning once. Clarion put her head down to Vidia's chest… Nothing. Clarion repeated her actions till the Fast flyers chest rose and fell, Vidia's heart had restarted.
"It worked!" Rosetta and Fawn screamed at once, right as Silvermist and Iridessa came flying in with the healing talent fairies.
"Is she alright?!" Iridessa looked like she was the next one to have a heart attack.
"Dess! Relax she is fine! Thanks to Queen Clarion." Sil and Dess glanced over to their now calm Queen.
"Thank you, your majesty."
"Your welcome girls. Does anyone know here Tinkerbell went?" The girls glanced around at each other with questioning looks.
"No your highness…"
"That's alright Rosetta. You four stay with Vidia, she needs a friend right now. I will look for Tinkerbell."
Queen Clarion had helped the healing fairies bring Vidia to her own room in the Hospital wing. Clarion had searched almost her entire kingdom but still no sign of Tinkerbell. Let's see… the last place I have to look is the cotton fields. I wonder if… No… I hide that too well for anyone to find it. Clarion decided to follow her thoughts and go to a place she hadn't in many seasons. Clarion flew over to an isolated part of the cotton field. There were many cotton vines growing in this area, but there was a secret entrance. She flew over to a small patch of weeds She knocked on a branch, there was no answer but the Queen could hear shuffling. She decided to press on, so she bent down and slowly crawling into the hole that weeds hid. Clarion made sure her wings did not get caught in the low hanging branches. Queen Clarion continued on until her head came to the end of the small tunnel.
"Tinkerbell?" Clarion pulled herself into the small out cover. The out cover was made up of branches and bits of cotton. Space was small enough for only two fairies. Tinkerbell was curled up crying just an arm's reach away. Clarion sat beside the crying fairy and she did what her heart told her to do. She pulled Tinkerbell up and into a tight embrace.
"It will be alright Tinkerbell. I'm here." Tink sniffed and snuggled closer into her chest. She didn't care that she was her Queen, all she cared about was that she was here.
"Thank you, mother." Clarion hugged her a little tighter than before Tinkerbell let go and moved away as much as she could. "Oh I'm sorry Queen Clarion I didn't mean to call you 'mother' I just-"
"That is quite alright Tinkerbell." Clarion gave the worried fairy a loving smile which seemed to melt away all the worries inside Tinkerbell.
"I like your hideout."
"Thanks… No one else knows about it…" Tinkerbell sniffed and wiped away the remaining tears from her pale cheeks.
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone." Clarion couldn't help but let out a small chuckle.
"I'm still…"
"What is it Tinkerbell? I am here for you." Clarion decided it was time to change things up a bit. She took off her crown and placed it on Tinkerbells head. "There, now I am just Clarion and you are a beautiful young princess. Is there anything I can help with, my princess?" Tinkerbell let out a giggle as her Queen bowed to her.
"Well… Clarion." Tinkerbell felt strange calling her by her name and not by her title but at the moment she didn't care. "I am still sad… Do- can you sing?" Clarion smiled, she loved to sing.
"I can, what would you like me to sing?"
"I am not sure…"
"Shall I pick?"
"Yes please, Clarion" Tinkerbell let out a giggle when she said her name. She loved talking to Clarion as just Clarion and not the Queen. Clarion laughed at her amusement to using her first name…
"Okay I know exactly what to sing, but first." Clarion scooted over and put her arm around Tink. "Is this alright?"
"Yes, I love your hugs." Clarion smiled down at Tinkerbell and cleared her throat.
"Come stop your crying
It will be alright
Just take my hand
Hold it tight" Clarion sang her sweet song and as she did she used her powers over Pixie Dust to make Pixie Dust fill the room and dance around the two fairies. "I will protect you
From all around you
I will be here
Don't you cry
For one so small,
You seem so strong
My arms will hold you,
Keep you safe and warm
This bond between us
Can't be broken
I will be here
Don't you cry" The Dust turned into butterflies then into fairies flying around laughing? "'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart, always
Why can't they understand the way we feel?
They just don't trust what they can't explain
I know we're different but deep inside us
We're not that different at all
And you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
Don't listen to them
'Cause what do they know?
We need each other
To have, to hold.
They'll see in time
I know
When destiny calls you
You must be strong
I may not be with you
But you've got to hold on
They'll see in time
I know
We'll show them together
'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart" Tinkerbell had never heard such a beautiful voice. She was snuggled up close to Clarion. Tinkerbell didn't wish to be anywhere else but here listening to Clarion's voice. "I'll be there from this day on,
Now and forever more
Oh, you'll be in my heart No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart
I'll be with you
I'll be there for you always
Always and always
Just look over your shoulder
I'll be there always." Clarion hadn't noticed but Tinkerbell had fallen asleep in her loving arms. Tinkerbell looked so peaceful, Clarion didn't want to wake her.
"Tinkerbell?" She spoke softly, she didn't wish to wake her but she knew her friends wanted to know she was alright.
"I'm not asleep." Tinkerbell sat up and smiled at Clarion. Her once tear stained face was only filled with happiness. "Thank you. I better go now…"
"It was my pleasure Tinkerbell. If you ever need me, you know where to find me."
"Really? I won't want to bother you…"
"Oh, Tinkerbell…" Clarion placed a finger under her now lowered chin. She lifted it up so their eyes met. "You are never a bother." Tinkerbell quickly gave her the biggest hug she had ever given.
"I really should go now though." Tinkerbell turned away from Clarion and was about to crawl out of the cotton out-cove.
"Tinkerbell," Clarion said with a giggle, Tink turned around with a confused look on her face. "Aren't you forgetting something?"
"Um… I don't think so."
"My tiara, dear."
"OH!" Tinkerbell's face turned a deep shade of red. As took the Queen's tiara off her head and placed it back onto the Queen's head. "Now can I leave, your highness?" Tinkerbell laughed as she bowed to her Queen jokingly. She desperately wished she and Clarion could be like this all the time, but she knew why they couldn't.
"Why yes Tinkerbell, you may go now." Clarion laughed, a big smile on her face making her eyes glow. With that Tinkerbell left and Clarion turned into Pixie Dust and flew back to the Pixie Dust Tree. Queen Clarion just could not shake the feeling like she and Tinkerbell had a connection. Maybe even as deep as blood.
