The sun rose over the horizon too early for Queen Clarion that day. Her eyes were still blood red and her face was stained with tears. Oh, Tinker Bell… I am so sorry; I should have listened to you… Clarion thought solemnly to herself.

"Viola!" Clarion called out to her loyal fairy, she came quickly into the Queen's room. Clarion was not sitting upright in her bed. "Viola, cancel everything I have to do today."

"Queen Clarion…? Are you alright?"

"Yes, Viola never better." Clarion almost jumped from her bed. She made her way to the bathroom and closed the door. "You heard me right, Dear! Cancel everything!"

"Yes, Queen Clarion! Right away!"

"Oh and Viola!"

"Yes, your majesty?"

"Bring me my winter jacket. I am taking a trip to the Winter Woods."

"But Queen Clarion your wings!" Clarion came out of her bathroom dressed in a warm dress, she also wore her winter boots, all a beautiful shade of light yellow.

"My wings will be covered, Viola. I am going to walk."

"But- "

"No 'buts' I am going."

"Yes, Queen Clarion…" Viola bowed and left the room, she returned after a few minutes with Queen Clarion's winter coat. "Your coat, Queen Clarion." Viola gave her Queen her winter coat. "Please be safe out there."

"I will Viola, thank you." Clarion did something unexpected and hugged her dear Fairy. Before she left her room and made her way to the border, where she knew her two daughters and the man she loved was waiting.

Arriving at the border she saw the snow gently falling to the ground. She was in a trance; she had fallen in love with this site so many years ago. The years have gone by so slowly it seemed like she was as frozen as the land before her. She took her last breath of warm air before flying into the Winter Woods. She was out of her mind and went into the Winter Woods… with her wings whizzing through the cold air.

Lord Milori went to his bathroom and wet his tear stained face with cool water. He thought it might help with the pain in his heart. He feared, after no relief came, he would have this pain forever. Beemer screeched at the top of his lungs in despair. Milori raced to his balcony where Beemer sat screeching. To his horror, he saw the faint glow of a Fairy in the midst of the snowfall. He jumped onto his owl faster than you can say "Bazinga"!

"FLY BEEMER! QUICK!" He flew as fast as his strong wings could take him, as Milori and Beemer drew nearer to the Fairy Milori's heart broke in two. It was the love of his life shivering in the cold suffering the way he never wanted her to. Clarion fell into the cold hard snow as Milori told Beemer to swoop down and pick her up. They raced back to the Ice Palace before matters became worse. Once inside the Ice Place Milori placed her onto his bed and wrapped her in ten of the warmest blankets he owned. Clarion was coherent but she was shivering tremendously.

"M-m-i-i-l-l-o-o-r-r-i-I" She tried to speak but he placed a figure on her lips.

"Shhh, Clarion. You're safe now." Clarion tried to control her shivering long enough to say these words. Though she did not say much, the words meant everything.

"I l-love you-u. Forever an-nd always." Clarion spoke through the shivers and let out a silent tear of undying love.

An hour later after Milori had dug a hole in the floor from pacing around his bed for so long. He heard the sweetest voice call his name. He spun around to see her smiling face looking deep into his eyes. Her sapphire eye glowing with the love she held for him.

"Clarion what were you thinking?! Flying into the Winter Woods without your wings being covered! I could have lost you!"

"Milori I- "Clarion started as she stood up and got out from under the covers until she was face to face with him.

"No Clarion you need to go back to the Warm side of the border before I lose you again!"

"Milori shut up!" Queen Clarion then went onto her tiptoes and kissed the man she loved as hard and as passionately as the day they said goodbye.

Meanwhile on board of the Jolly Roger Tinker Bell and Periwinkle were not having as great a time. Kidnaped from the place they called home and hurled into a world of danger and despair. They could hear the sound of pirates all around them. They were in a dark eerie corner of the ship that they did not recognize.

"Tink…?"

"I'm here Peri," Tink said holding her sister close. She was shaking in her boots. "Don't worry Peri. Our parents are the Lord of Winter and the Queen. We will be out of here in no time…." At least that's what the young fairy hoped and prayed. In the case of Tinker Bell and Periwinkle's case, however. Not a soul knew where they were or that they were missing. Suddenly the loud sound of boots hitting planks came closer and closer to the Fairies. In throwing the door walked the notorious Captain James Hook.

"Ah, you're finally awake! Good, good, now to business." Hook moved a stool from a corner of the room to face them in their glass prison. "Apologies for the tight corners." He gestured to the glass lamp the fairies where currently captive in. Tinker Bell flew up to the top of the prison and angrily screamed at the pirate captain. Which to his ears was only the sound of bells?

"Yes? What was that? Let you out? Oh no no no! We must strike a margin first! You see, I want your precious dust so the Jolly Roger can fly past the second star and I can conquer the world!" Tinker Bell flew down to her scared sister in despair. Fairies couldn't fly without Pixie Dust, and it couldn't get into the hands of a pirate! "Don't worry you have plenty of time to tell me! I am a patient man…" Hook stood to leave, turning his heel with a click. "Oh, did I mention you only have a few hours of air left before you and your little friend cease to exist. No? Oh darn, well… now you know." Captain Hook laughed maniacally as he slammed the wooden door behind him.

Queen Clarion and Lord Milori laid together as content as the day they met. Clarion had her head on Milori's shoulder and Milori brushed his figures through her golden locks.

"Milori?" Clarion said contently.

"Yes, darling?" Clarion giggled and sat up.

"One day together and you are already calling me 'darling'?"

"Oh terribly sorry your highness." Clarion laughed at her lover as he bowed slightly to her.

"You're forgiven, Lord Milori." Clarion stood up and curtsied at Milori. Clarion and Milori laughed like they were 400 years old. Clarion fell on top of him still laughing. Milori caressed her head as they sat together in bliss and harmony.

"I've missed you so much Milori."

"I've missed you too, Clarion." As Clarion and Milori were about to kiss there was a knock at the door.

"Agh!" Milori grumbled and Clarion hit his shoulder for his comment. "What was that for?" He said in a whisper.

"Be a good Lord of Winter and answer the door." Milori laughed at her then said "Enter." In flew in Jaywalker Lord Milori's most trusted scout Sparrowman.

"Lord Milori, Queen Clarion, I am pleased to announce everything in the Winter Woods is going accordingly. The only one who did not show up for work today is 'Periwinkle'."

"Oh, that's odd. Peri never misses a day of work. Has anyone seen her today?"

"No my Lord. Not since last night."

"That is very odd indeed. I will personally go see if she is alright. Thank you, Jaywalker." Jaywalker bowed and left the room, Clarion turned to Milori with a worried look. "Don't worry Clarion, I'm sure she's just fine."

"I hope your right. I want to come with you. I need to apologize to my daughter."

"Daughter? Are you going through with this? Us? All of us as a family?"

"Yes… I want this more than anything."

"So do I." Those words said the royal pair left the Ice Palace and headed for Periwinkle's home. Unaware of the danger their family was in…
