Tinker Bell couldn't believe this was happening! I mean she? A princess?! It was a dream come true!
"Little Princess?" Tinker Bell blushed at the nickname her new mother had given her.
"Oh, do you not like it?"
"Jingles no! I love it!" Clarion laughed at her daughter's reaction. Deep down she feared she won't make a good mother. Although, with Tinker Bell here with her now she had hope for their future together.
"Tinker Bell, I think it's time to tell everyone now."
"I don't suppose after we can... Hang out? You know, so we can get to know each other."
"I would love that. I'm sure, given the circumstances, I could take the rest of the day off." Tink's eyes sparkled with excitement.
"YES! I CAN'T WAIT!"
Clarion and Tinker Bell made their way out of the Queen's study and down the hall. Not soon after they turned the corner Clarion and Tinker Bell were face to face with Fairy Mary and all four Ministers.
"Yes, Fairy Mary, Ministers?" Queen Clarion spoke with her regal tone. She could barely hold in her excitement, but she had years of practice for hiding her feelings from others.
"Um, so?"
"So what, Fairy Mary?" Clarion tried to act like she didn't know what she was saying. She loved to tease her dear friend.
"You know what I mean."
"Yes, Mary. Adrian was correct. Tinker Bell is my daughter."
"1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8! MY TINKER IS A PRINCESS!" Mary busted out as loud as she could! The ministers all looked happy for the Queen and their new Princess, but they were worried about Tinker bell's trouble making past.
"Viola!" Queen Clarion called for her messenger. Viola was never far from her Queen in case she needed her assistance.
"Yes, your majesty?" Viola said as she flew into the meeting room.
"Could you please call the fairies and Sparrowmen of Pixie Hollow to the Pixie Dust Tree?"
"Your majesty that will not be necessary. No one ever left from this morning."
"Oh, well thank you, Viola." Viola curtseyed and left the room. "Well Tinker Bell, are you ready?"
"Yes, mother." Tinker Bell gave her mother a big grin. The Ministers were shocked to hear Tinker Bell call her Queen by that name.
Queen Clarion made her entrance to the Pixie Dust Centre. All her loving subjects waited silently for the answer they had been waiting all morning.
"Dear Fairies and Sparrowmen, I am sorry to make you all wait. I know the events of this morning as been hectic, but I am pleased to announce that Tinker Bell is indeed my daughter." Everyone let out a loud gasp! What was happening?! Clarion was a little alarmed with their outburst, but she knew something like this would happen. She looked to her right and saw Tinker Bell fluttering right beside her. Tink looked sad at the reaction of her fellow fairies. "Please calm down, Tinker Bell has excepted the title of Princess but will not be in line for the throne. If anyone has any problems with Tinker Bell being my daughter speak now." Queen Clarion spoke in her regal calm voice. No one dare spoke for fear of the Queen. She will surely make us pay if we speak! Queen Clarion turned her head, looking around at anyone who opposed. Tinker Bell looked around as well, she desperately hoped no one would say anything…
"I have something to say!" Oh no… Clarion thought to herself. It was none other than Vidia herself!
"WHY IN THE WHIRLWIND WOULD WE WANT THAT TINKER FAIRY AS OUR PRINCESS?! You know how many things she has messed up?! EVERYTHING! She is nothing but a menu! Are you kidding us here! She messed everything up when she was nothing other than a lone Tinker fairy! NOW SHE IS A PRINCESS?! SHE WILL-"
"That is enough!" Queen Clarion had heard enough! This had gone too far this time. She glanced out of the corner of her eye to see Tinker Bell, her face red as ever and ready to pounce. She also was looking at her mother, astonished she had stopped Vidia. "You have no right to call my daughter such cruel things. I will not have this talk about anyone in my kingdom and that is final. Do I make myself clear, Vidia?"
"You have been her mother for a whole fifteen minutes! YOU CAN'T EVEN KEEP YOUR KINGDOM FROM FALLING APART AND YOU THINK YOU CAN BE A GOOD MOTHER?!" Clarion held out an arm as Tinker Bell was about to fly up to Vidia and slap her in the face. Clarion was the Queen she was not to be talked to in such a way… and she knew just how to handle it.
"Now Vidia dear, please calm down. You will give yourself another heart attack. Or did you not tell anyone how without me you would be dead right now." Queen Clarion flew closer to Vidia. Vidia flew backward for fear of what she would do to her. "You know what the law says I should do to fairies that talk to the Queen the way you too, dear?"
"N-no…" Vidia stuttered in fear, she had never seen the Queen this calm before… Which meant she was furious inside.
"This." Clarion snapped her fingers and Vidia's hands and feet were wrapped in Pixie Dust chains. "Guards, would you be so kind as to show Vidia to her cell. I haven't sent anyone to the dungeon in so long."
"Dungeon? There is not a dungeon in Pixie Hollow… is there?"
"Oh why yes, Vidia there is. The roots of the Pixie Dust Tree make the cell bars. It is very dark down there, and I will send you down there. Unless…"
"Unless?" Vidia gulped at the thought of spending who knows how long in the dark dungeon.
"You formally apologize to Tinker Bell. Your Princess." Vidia hated this, but she feared the cell more. She flew over to Tinker Bell and bowed.
"Please, Princess Tinker Bell, please forgive my rudeness. I did not mean any of those dreadful things I said." Clarion turned to look at her daughter waiting to see what she would do.
"I will only forgive you if you carry the umbrella when we go to the beach."
"WHAT?! But I hate- I mean… For how long?"
"A month."
"Yes, my Princess…"
"Now Vidia, please go sit down." Clarion waved her hand and the shackles disappeared. Vidia flew as fast as she could back to her seat.
"Please go back to your daily duties. That will be all." Queen Clarion finished she led her daughter back into the Pixie Dust Tree. Where they could finally breathe easy.
"Well, that went better than I thought." Clarion looked at her daughter in amusement.
"How in the name of Pixie Dust could that get any worse?" Clarion giggled, she couldn't imagine it any worse.
"Well we are still standing and they didn't throw anything at me."
"Oh, Tinker Bell!" Clarion laughed, she placed her hands up to her face to try and hide her amusement.
"So what shall we do first mommy?!"
"Well, I think mommy would like to help her daughter move into her new room!"
"Flitterific!"
Clarion led Tink up to her new room, Tink was flying along in front of her. I hope she likes it… Clarion made it to the door but Tinker Bell had not known that she stopped. So Tink kept flying down the hall, she was just so excited!
"Um, dear?" Tink turned around to see Clarion a few inches behind her.
"Yes?"
"This door darling."
"Oh…" Tinker Bell blushed, and Clarion smiled at her. Tinker Bell flew back to her mother and joined her in front of her door. Clarion opened the door and Tink's eyes glissaded with all the beauty that was before her. The room was huge, but it was not a bedroom it was a study. It had a desk at the end of the room that sat in front of a giant window. To the left and right of the room there stood two doors. One on each side of the room.
"Um…"
"Tinker Bell your room is this way." Clarion pointed toward the door that was on the left side of the room."
"So this is your study?"
"Yes dear, this is where I work. I can see all of Pixie Hollow from that window."
"So… If this is your study and my room this is a door." Tinker Bell pointed toward the door to her left. "Then is that your room?" Tink pointed to the door on her right.
"Yes, that is my room. I thought you might like it if you had a room close to me. If you do not want to I can find another room, if you wish."
"Oh no! I love it!" Tinker Bell beamed with excitement. Clarion giggled and lead Tink to the door to their left. Before Clarion turned the knob Tink spoke up. "Can I do the honors?"
"Of course." Clarion smiled and moved aside for her daughter to open her new room. She turned the knob and the door swung open. Her eyes widened it was so beautiful. The only thing that would have to go was the Golden and blue colors that were the sheets and the drapes along the bed and windows.
"I hope you like it Tinker Bell."
"Oh I love it, but, if you don't mind me asking, why does the bed have golden and blue colored sheets on it?"
"Oh, well… many seasons ago, this was my room. The colors will have to be changed and a few things moved around or taken out. I thought since you are a very talented Tinker fairy, you might be up for a challenge."
"This was your room? Well, I don't want to mess anything up or-"
"Dear, you can do whatever you want to this room it is yours now. Do not worry."
"Oh thank you, mommy!" Tinker Bell gave her mother a giant hug and Clarion returned it in full. Clarion had a good feeling about what the days to come would bring. She just hoped her past would not come back to haunt her…
