It seemed even more spectacular to Aggie now that her sisters on the winter side was showing her, Tinker Bell, and Tankerblush around. They went to see the Pixie Dust Well. It was similar to the Pixie Dust Tree on the warm side of Pixie Hollow, except that the pixie dust here flowed from a hollow root.

"It's amazing. The dust travels all the way from the Pixie Dust Tree," Periwinkle explained. "Kind of like you did."

"I don't need Pixie Dust to fly. I trained myself to fly," said Aggie.

Then, they visited the icicles.

"Terence, Terrace, and we barely escaped the pirate ship!" Tinkerbell told her story.

"Are they your boyfriends?" Perawankle asked

"Uh…" Tankerblush blushed.

"Ooh, they are definitely your boyfriends," Aggie teased.

"Do you have a boyfriend?" inquired Periwinkle.

"Yeah, but I don't want to talk about him. It's complicated."

They came to the ice skating area.

"Okay. So, Lizzy and Lizzen love fairies, you say?" Aggie repeated.

"Yeah. They even built a fairy house. That's how Tankerblush and I met them," Tinker Bell replied, "You see, me and Vidia…"

Just then, Tinker Bell slipped on the ice ,and she, Tankerblush, Periwinkle, Perawankle, and Aggie laughed.

At Periwinkle and Perawankle's house, Aggie, Tink, and Tank had never seen anything like it. It was a cold but cozy cave nestled high up on the side of a snowy mountain. It even had an ice-crest ledge for a front porch. From the tip of the ledge, the three could see all the way to the border of winter. Peri and Pera showed their sisters their room, and Peri opened a drawer full of lost objects that she had collected.

Tinker Bell gasped, "You collect lost things, too?"

"We call them found things," Periwinkle chuckled as she pulled out a paper clip, then turned to Aggie, "What do you call these things?"

"Nothing. I just called them just things," said Aggie.

Back in the Winter Woods, the five sisters went ice-skating using their feet, but Periwinkle and Perawankle were patient and helped their sisters glide across the frozen pond. Later, they tried snowboarding...and wound up landing in a heap among the trees.

McClain Sisters: I never knew I lost you till I found you
And you'd never guess how close you are to me
Now I want to throw my arms around you
Tell a thousand tales that will astound you
Everything about you tells me this was meant to be

When the five fairies grew tired, they sat on a branch to rest. On another tree, there a many winter fairies making snowflakes out of snow. A snowflake fairy and her guardian were busy twirling a handful of snow high in the air as if they were pizzas. Then, they expertly poked out a pattern in the frosty crystals. Each flake they made floated gently past Tinker Bell, Tankerblush, Periwinkle, Perawankle, and Aggie, and no five were alike. Aggie sighed that she finally got her answers, and she experienced snow. The five then rode on one of the horns of a buffalo. Then, they were playing around a tree, which making Tinker Bell and Aggie sank on the snow.

McClain Sisters: Don't you see? I'm on your side
Let's take this ride
And together we're facing the world
Doing things nobody's done before
And the great divide
Doesn't seem so wide
Anymore

Periwinkle and Perawankle took Tinker Bell, Tankerblush, and Aggie to see four of their close friends in the Frost Forest.

"This is the Frost Forest," Peri introduced the place where she and Pera were working.

"Wow!" Tinker Bell and Tankerblush were amazed by the place.

"Cool!" Aggie exclaimed.

"That's Gliss," Peri pointed to a fairy a short distance away.

"And that's her guardian, Glass," Pera pointed her friend.

The five sisters didn't want to get caught, so they were hiding behind a snowy branch where the other fairies couldn't see them.

Gliss and Glass were sliding on a leaf, making frost on it.

"Come on, Spike, Spieke. Practice," Gliss convinced.

Another fairy, Spike, and his guardian, Spieke, were lazily lying down a leaf.

"Okay, okay. Practicing," Spike argued as she and Spieke put their feet on another leaf to frost it.

"And those are Spike and Spieke," Periwinkle added, "They're a bit…

Just then, Tinker Bell and Aggie slipped and fell onto a snowdrift below. Tankerblush, Periwinkle, and Perawankle flew to catch them, and the all both wound up sliding right in front of G;iss, Glass, Spike, and Spieke.

"Hi." Periwinkle and Perawankle greeted their friends.

The four friends already guessed that their friends are sisters with the other three fairies by their appearances.

"Sisters?" Spike and Spieke inquired.

"Well, I think it's fantastic!" Gliss exclaimed as she and Glass approached the five sisters.

"Wow, you guys look exactly alike!" Glass laughed while describing the five sisters, "I mean, expect for your clothes and your hair.."

Only Peri and her sister have different hair. Peri's a bit more pale though. Pera, her sister, and that little one there have the same color hair," added Gliss while pointing at Aggie as "the little one", "But their noses are all very similar."

"Forget their noses. They're warm fairies. In winter! And I don't think the little one is one of us both warm and winter," Spieke concluded.

Gliss gasped, "You're right. We got to show them around!"

"Oh, oh, oh! Let's take them ice-sliding!" Glass suggested.

"You are going to love this!" Periwinkle said to Tinker Bell, Tankerblush, and Aggie.

"Ooohhhh, that sounds fun!" Aggie giggled excitingly.

"Yeah. Great idea. Push the warm fairies and the different one down a hill of ice," Spike still reminded about that situation, but she and Spieke are going to miss all the fun if they just stay and disagree, "Okay, well, wait for us, you guys," they called.

Soon, all nine fairies were building taboggans, and teetering at the top of a high frozen waterfall aboard their toboggans.

McClain Sisters: And if you'll be there beside me when I falter
Then whatever comes I know we'll take it all in stride

Periwnkle announced the fun, "Ready, set, slide!"

The fun began. Tink, Tank and Aggie shrieked in delight as they went racing down the icy hill with Peri and Pera were behind them, creating a bridge with their frost across the snow cliffs.

McClain Sisters: I'm on your side
I'm on your side
Let's take this ride

Tinker Bell, Periwinkle, and Aggie were ice-skating, and they did gracefully with trails behind them, while Tankerblush and Perawankle floated above their respective wards. At the end, they twirled as fast and fun as they can before they slid at the snow. The five laughed when they stopped skating. A pile of snow dropped on them.

McClain Sisters: And together we're facing the world
Doing things nobody's done before
And the great divide
Doesn't seem so wide
Anymore

At night, at the winter fairies' house, Periwinkle, Perawankle, Tinker Bell, Tankerblush, and Aggie sat by a small campfire on the ice crest in front of the Peri and Pera' home. They started a game of what they have in common, like favorite things, and Periwinkle tallied the list on her ice board.

Tinker Bell is still thinking what other things she and the rest of the sisters have something in common, "Um… I know. Favorite star?"

Periwinkle replied, "Second Star…"

"To the right!" Tinker Bell, Tankerblush, Periwinkle, and Perawankle said at the same time.

"Oh, I don't have a favorite star," Aggie confessed.

"That's okay," Peri responded,then got back in the game, "Okay. Favorite drink?"

"Hot chamomile tea," the warm fairies replied.

"Iced chamomile tea!" The winter fairies stated.

"Ice tea! Just regular ice tea," answered Aggie.

"Okay, my turn," Tankerblush said, "How about...favorite bug?"

"Bug? It's too cold for bugs over here," Perawankle explained, "but in one of Dewey and Dewen's books, I read about butterflies."

"Ooh, I like butterflies, and bees," Aggie intervened.

"Oh, in Butterfly Cove, there's hundreds of them," Tink said as she got up from the campfire, and Tank, Peri, Pera, and Aggie, "It's in summer. It's right over..." She looked out toward where she thought the center of Pixie Hollow would be. She scanned the horizon, but all she could see was the frozen land of winter, and it's completely dark, "Um…Hmm. I guess you can't see it from here."

Periwinkle sighed, "No. You can't. What's it like over there?"

Tinker Bell replied, "Warm."

"Is it colorful over there?" Aggie asked.

"Yeah," Tankerblush nodded.

"And the colors? The sounds? All the animals. And the fish. They swim in melted ice, right?" Perawankle tried to say that right.

"It's called, Water," Aggie corrected

Periwinkle chuckled, then sighed again, "I wish…I wish we could go there."

The five fairies sat by each other, watching the night sky. Then, Tinker Bell and Tankerblush looked at the tiny campfire that was keeping them comfortably warm. It gave them an idea.

Tinker Bell spoke, "Peri?"

Periwinkle responded, Yeah?

"We made it warmer over here. Maybe we could make it colder over there," the Tinker fairy explained.

"Are you…" Perawankle gasped excitingly, hoping that what she was thinking was right, "Are you saying we could cross?"

The winter fairies' hearts leapt. Crossing the border was something they had never thought was possible.

"Yeah!" Tankeblush replied.

Periwinkle and Perawankle were so excited for the possibility they were hoping for.

"Oh, Tink, Tank, you could show us your world. we could meet your friends. Do you think we could see a butterfly? Peri asked

Tinker Bell smiled, "There's a pretty good chance."

The warm fairies' minds were racing with ideas about how they could bring Periwinkle and Perawankle over to the warmer seasons. This would be their biggest tinkering challenge yet!

"But, what about me? Am I allowed to go there?" questioned Aggie sadly. She wanted to explore more parts of Pixie Hollow.

"Well, Aggie, you're a different fairy. You were born outside of Pixie Hollow. I don't think you have problems of entering both side of this world, but you have to keep covering your wings, just in case," Tinker Bell advised, "We're not sure how much warm or cold your wings needed,"

"I understand," Aggie nodded, keeping her wings inside her jacket.

The five sisters were so busy chattering about their plans that they didn't notice that the campfire they had made was slowly melting the ice. It wasn't until they heard a loud crack that they realized something was very wrong. The ice crest beneath them was collapsing! The ice gave away and they all plummet. Periwinkle and Perawankle fluttered into the air. But Tinker Bell and Aggie's wings were trapped beneath their coat and jackets. Tankerblush can't carry her ward and ward-human sister on her own.

"I can't fly!" Tinker Bell panicked.

"Me too!" Aggie added.

"I can't carry them both! Help!" Tankerblush yelled.

The frost fairy and her ward reached out to rescue Tinker Bell and Tankerblush, but Tink and Aggie's weight was too much for Peri, Pera, and Tank.

Periwinkle held her sister's hand, "Hold on. Hold on!"

"I'm slipping!" Tinker Bell screamed.

Then, out of nowhere, Fiona the lynx appeared beneath them. The sisters landed on her back with a soft thump, and the lynx skillfully and carefully landed on the snow. She carried five fairies to safety with her masters.

"That's it, Fiona. That's it. Whoo!" Dewey patted the lynx back before turning to the girls, "Are you girls all right?"

The five answered, "Yeah."

"Are you sure? Nothing broken? Nothing bruised?" Dewen asked.

"No. We're okay," Aggie replied.

Dewey sighed when he realized that the rulers of Winter Woods are right for what they said earlier, "This time. Lord Milori and Maloron were right. Crossing the border is just too dangerous."

"What are you saying?" Aggie asked in worry for the worst.

I'm sorry, girls, but we're afraid this isn't going to work out like you hoped. We have to take Tinker Bell, Tankerblush, and Aggie home," Dewen sadly confessed.

The news made the girls frowned. Because of this situation, they are not going to see each other again.

Dewey patted Fiona's back again, and commanded softly, "Let's go, Fiona."

Fiona led the way, with Tink, Tank, Peri, Pera, and Aggie riding on her back. The sisters held hands and the lynx brought them to the border.


When they reached the edge, the five fairies remained quiet for a moment. They watched the soft snow curtain falling between autumn and winter.

"It's… It's for your own good," Dewey stammered, almost going to cry.

Tinker Bell, Tankerblush, and Aggie looked sadly at their sisters. They gently pulled their hand away and began to walk back over the border. Fiona meowed softly at the three departure fairies as they rubbed her nose. Periwinkle and Perawankle slowly flew down to their sisters, and they embraced together into a group hug.

Dewey and Dewen sniffled and turned to face the other way.

"I can't watch, Fiona," Dewey whimpered and sniffled, "I promised myself I wasn't going to do this."

"There, there," Dewen patted his ward's back, and helped him turn away.

Tinker Bell peeked over Periwinkle's shoulder to make sure Dewey and Dewen weren't paying attention.

"Okay. Here's the plan. Meet me here tomorrow," Tinker Bell whispered.

Periwinkle and Perawankle were surprised that they thought they're not going to see their sisters again.

"Oh, thank goodness. We thought you were really saying goodbye," Periwinkle sighed in excitement and quietly.

"No! I just met my sister I never knew I had and I'm going to say goodbye forever? Are you kidding? So…" Tinker Bell whispered her plan as Periwinkle, Perawankle, Aggie, and Tankerblush listened. Whatever their sister needed, they would get it. They weren't going to let them down!
