Tinker Bell had started work on her new room, she was so excited about everything that was happing to her! Queen Clarion had helped her daughter for as long as she could before one of the Minsters of the Seasons had needed their Queen's help. She promised to be back as soon as she could and Tink counted the minutes till her Mother returned to her. The progress on the room was coming along nicely. Clarion had found some lovely green sheets for Tinker bell's bed. The room was huge, so Tink even but in a workshop of her own. In the far left corner of her room, she left a place to keep all her lost things. She even had a desk to keep all her plans and ideas in! Tink paused her work when she heard a door open and close.
"I am back darling! I am so sorry I had to leave." It was Clarion, she had just returned from helping the ministers. Tink could hear her mother place something on her desk. Clarion fluttered over to Tink's open door and stopped. "Oh my! You have been busy, haven't you?" When Clarion had left her daughter the room was still a mess, but now it was almost finished!
"Oh yes! I was just so excited." Tinker Bell blushed, Clarion laughed and looked around the room.
"Well, it looks beautiful! How about we take a break and do something together?"
"Oh yes yes yes!" Clarion giggled at her daughter, she was flying around the room in delight!
"What shall we do, darling?"
"Maybe... A picnic?!"
"Oh, that would be marvelous! Where should we go?"
"Well I will pick up some things from my house in Tinker's Nook and then the spot is right past the valley behind Tinker's Nook!"
"Well, then shall we get going?"
"Yes!" Tinker Bell was beaming! She just could not wait to show Clarion her world. I wonder if she has ever seen my house... or seen all of Pixie Hollow...
Soon after the pair departed the Pixie Dust Tree and flew to Tinker's Nook. The news was still new and exciting to every Fairy and Sparrowman they passed. Clarion could make out a few things her people were saying. To her relief, everyone loved the idea of a new Princess. Queen Clarion was almost to Tinker's Nook when Tink was pushed to the ground by six Fairies!
"Tinker Bell!" Clarion cried and flew to her aid. When she saw who had attacked her, Clarion giggled. It was Rosetta, Iridessa, Fawn, Silvermist, and a surprisingly a happy Vidia. "Hello, girls."
"Guys... Will you get off me? I can't breathe!" Tinker bell's words where a mumbled from underneath all her friends.
"Oh! Yes... Princess!" Rosetta poked at her as she and her friends got off of poor crushed Tinker Bell.
"Oh! Hello, Queen Clarion." Fawn had just noticed the Queen, who at the moment could barely hold back her laughter.
"Hello, Fawn." Clarion smiled at the young fairy and turned to the rest. "Shall I expect you to tackle my daughter every time you see her?" All the girls giggled, they had never heard Clarion call her 'daughter'. It was so cute!
"Yes, mommy." Tinker Bell knew this would make Fawn and Rosetta squeal. Much to her amusement just that happened.
"Mommy? Oh, sugar that is just so cute!"
"I thought you might like that, Ro."
"So... where are you two going?" Silvermist asked she had to calm down a little from all the cuteness.
"We are going on a picnic!"
"Oh my gosh that's perfect! I mean... have fun!" Rosetta could no longer connate her excitement! Her words just blurred out of her open trap. Which in turn received a roar of laughter from everyone. Vidia even let out a giggle!
"Okay guys, let's leave the Queeny and her Troublesome Princess alone." Vidia teased, choosing her words carefully.
"Well girls, I am sure Tinker Bell would love to have you over for a sleep over in her new room when it is finished."
"Really? I can?!"
"Well, I don't see why not, dear." All the girls giggled and flew around with glee! The Royals said their goodbyes and flew off to Tinker's Nook. Tinker Bell grabbed a few things and she showed her mother her house. Clarion loved it! She had never seen a more quaint house.
Afterward, they made their way toward Evergreen Valley. Tinker Bell knew a special spot she thought her mother would like. As they flew through Evergreen Valley Tink noticed the Queen looked distracted.
"Are you ok?"
"Hm? Oh yes, Tinker Bell. It has just been a long time since I was out not doing work."
"Oh…"
"Oh no! I love spending time with you! I just meant it is different having time off." Tinker Bell giggled, happy to know she was good company. "So, Tinker Bell?"
"Yes?"
"Where are we going?" Clarion looked around, there were many different flowers towering overhead. There were many spots to have a wonderful picnic, but she had a feeling Tinker Bell had a special place picked out.
"Oh right through here! Come on!" Tinker Bell flew as fast as she could throw the stalks of the flowers then disappeared!
"Tinker Bell!" Clarion flew after her and looked around frantically when she disappeared. She was standing beside a giant rock that loomed far above her head. The rock was covered in vines and low-hanging moss. "Tinker Bell?! Where did you go?!" Before Clarion could think, an arm yanked the Queen into an opening in the rock. "Ah!" Clarion screamed as she was pulled through, what she thought, was a solid rock. Clarion landed on her butt and was surprised to see none only then her daughter rolling on the rock floor laughing her head off. "Tinker Bell! You scared the Pixie Dust out of me!" Tink stopped laughing and helped her mother up. Clarion gave her a look that said none other than 'Really?', but Tink just looked at her and smiled innocently. "Oh 'Ha Ha' very funny."
"Run away! Angry Queen!" Tinker Bell flew away once again. This time just to the far corner of the cavern where, at the top, was an opening letting what was left of the evening sun in. Clarion flew after her but stopped dead when she saw how beautiful it was. The sun illuminated the cavern, showing off a beautiful patch of bright green grass. The perfect place for a picnic indeed!
"Oh." Clarion covered her mouth taking in the beauty of it all. "Oh, dear I love it."
"I thought you might." Tinker Bell blushed but then went wide eyed. "We forgot the food!"
"No, we did not! A Queen forgets nothing."
"Then where is the basket?" Tinker Bell smirked at her mother.
"Right here smarty pants." Clarion pulled out a silver string from her pocket. Tink looked very confused…
"That's a string…"
"Very observant of you." Clarion giggled, she dropped the string to the ground and her hands sparkled with the brightest Pixie Dust Tinker Bell had ever seen! The string glowed a bright silver and when the glow was gone, there was the basket!
"WOAH!"
"I thought you might like that."
"How did you do that?!"
"…Magic."
"MOM!" Clarion giggled, she sat down and opened the basket.
"Oh shush and eat your dinner."
"Gah… okay…"
After the Royals had eaten all they could and talked till there were no words to say. They laid together and stared at the stars. The sun had just set and the stars were almost fully out.
"You know, I have heard from lots of fairies that all you do is work and your no fun… But you're not you are a lot like me." Clarion grinned, in what little light they had Tink saw her smile. She had the most amazing smile. Just then Clarion sat up and moved toward the basket with an evil grin on her face.
"No fun?! I will show them!" Clarion suddenly threw something at Tink! Tink looked down and saw it was pudding…
"AH! FOOD FIGHT!" The two fairies threw food at each other till they were both covered head to toe with salad, and other assorted foods. They washed off the best they could and made their way back to the Pixie Dust Tree. Tinker Bell couldn't help but to thank Mother Dove for an amazing mother. Tink looked up to the Second Star to the Right and under her breathe spoke two words… Thank you…
