I didn't think I'd be able to write more this soon. But you never know. Enjoy!

Tinker Bell and her friends suddenly appeared out of thin air in a beautiful realm. It was filled with cherry blossom trees and spring foliage. A few fairies went around, finishing their day's work. Sunlight was fading in the trees and the sky was darkening.

"Where are we?" asked Iridessa.

Rosetta replied, "It looks like we're in Spring Valley. But it looks the same as the one in the present. Are you sure this is in the past?"

"Positive," Tink assured her. "See the Pixie Dust tree? It looks much younger."

Her friends saw that she was right. They all wondered how fairies could get things done when there wasn't much pixie dust to go around.

Tinker Bell decided that they should go exploring and see what they could find to help them complete their mission. The fairies decided to walk in the bushes where they were less likely to be seen. Vidia would rather fly, of course, but that would give them away. Someone ran up through the bushes and she collided with the fairies. So much for staying hidden, thought Tink.

The fairy quickly pulled her hood over herself and said,"Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry. I didn't even see you there." She helped Tinker Bell to her feet.

"Thanks," Tink said.

Silvermist exclaimed, "You can see and understand us!?" From some stories she read in Pixie Hollow, when people went into the past, they were only seeing someone's memories and they weren't actually there. But in this case, the decisions that the fairies made would change the past.

"Shh! Not so loud!" whispered the hooded fairy. "I'm not supposed to be out this late and that's why I was sneaking through the bushes. Please don't tell the scouts!"

"Don't worry, we won't," Tink assured her. "But who are you and what are you doing?"

"You know, I could ask you the same thing," she said.

Tinker Bell sighed. "Well, my name is Tinker Bell and I'm a tinker fairy. These are my friends Silvermist, Iridessa, Fawn, Vidia, and Rosetta. Sil's a water fairy, Dessa's a light fairy, Ro's a garden fairy, Fawn's an animal fairy, and Vidia's a fast-flying fairy."

"The fastest one, in fact," Vidia added.

"Ok, then," Tinker Bell said. "Since we introduced ourselves, please tell us who you are."

The fairy sighed and pulled off her hood, revealing her wings. It was unmistakably Queen Clarion.

"Queen Clarion!?" they exclaimed.

"Shh! Be quiet!" she reminded.

"Sorry," Fawn timidly said.

The queen said, "Look, I've gotta go. A friend is expecting me and if I don't hurry I'll be late. It was nice running into you, though. I hope I'll see you again soon. And thanks for not blowing my cover." Queen Clarion pulled her hood back over herself and ran off.

"I can't believe that was the queen," Rosetta said, shaking her head. "She never acts or dresses like that. I mean, she was wearing normal fairy clothes and running around."

"Well, she did say that she was trying to hide from the guards. Maybe the queen was doing that to hide from them," Vidia explained.

"Then why would she wear a hood?" Silvermist asked.

Iridessa said, "For obvious reasons. Queen Clarion is the only fairy that has wings that are huge and golden. She would need to hide them so she wouldn't be recognized."

"But then she can't fly," stated Vidia.

"Come on, guys," Tinker Bell said. "We're wasting time by arguing. We should follow her and see what she's doing."

"Are you saying that we should eavesdrop on an obviously private conversation?" asked Vidia.

"Well, we could find something out," Tink said.

"She's right. We need every piece of information we can get. Even if we have to spy on a private conversation. This is for Pixie Hollow, remember?" Sil said.

Her friends agreed and went after the queen.

Queen Clarion arrived at the border leading to Winter. Tink and her friends were hiding in a tree.

"I feel really guilty eavesdropping," said Iridessa. "What if we get caught?"

"Just keep quiet and we won't," Vidia told her.

Another fairy flew to the border, also wearing a hood. But this fairy had cut out wing slits in the disguise so he could fly. Silvermist noticed that he had a layer of ice on his wings. It looked like he was going to try to cross the border. "Guys, look," she said.

"Oh, no," Vidia said. "If that fairy crosses the border, he could risk losing his wings! We've gotta do something!"

"No, Vidia," Tinker Bell said. "We can't alter the past or Pixie Hollow will never be the same. Besides, we don't want our cover to be blown."

"Did anyone see you?" Queen Clarion asked.

"No," the winter fairy said. "I can't believe we're doing this!"

They took off their hoods. The winter fairy was none other than Lord Milori.

"Awww," said the fairies in the trees. Rosetta said,"They must be going on a date. How romantic?"

Queen Clarion said, "So, what's your plan to cross?"

"I had one of the ice fairies create a layer of ice on my wings," the lord of Winter said. "The ice will protect my wings from the heat of the warm seasons and I'll be able to cross the border."

"What if the ice melts?" asked the queen.

"I can tuck my wings under this cape for extra protection, if you're so worried," he assured her.

"But then you won't be able to fly," Queen Clarion said. "I know you, and I know that you love flying more than anything."

Lord Milori smiled. "You know that I don't like flying nearly as much as I love you."

Tink and her friends thought there couldn't be anything more romantic, but they managed to keep their voices down.

Lord Milori walked hand-in-hand with his beloved Clarion across the border. She showed him many wonders of the warm seasons to which he loved very much. When the stars and fireflies came out, the two lovebirds climbed up a tree and looked out at the sky.

"The stars are sparkling so beautifully tonight," Queen Clarion said.

"Just like your eyes," Lord Milori replied.

Queen Clarion blushed at the compliment. "I wish every day could be like this."

"Me too," Lord Milori said. "But it can't."

"Why not?"

"It just can't. We both have royal duties that we must attend to and they must come before love. I won't be able to see you for a while. But thanks for showing me the warm seasons. It was a wonderful evening. Goodbye, Clarion." He started to fly back to winter. But suddenly, Lord Milori found it difficult to fly. There was a snapping sound, and he started to plummet to the ground!

"MILORI!" cried Queen Clarion. She dove after him and managed to catch him, but he couldn't fly.

"You saved me. Thanks," Lord Milori said.

"Milori, we have to get you back to the border immediately." Without another word, she helped him all the way back to the border.

Tinker Bell and her friends were still there. They watched anxiously, hoping everything had gone according to the plan.

Queen Clarion carefully got him back to the winter side. She gasped when she saw his wings. They were both wilted and his right wing was broken. "Oh, no," she said. "Your wings!"

"They're probably fine," the lord of Winter said. "I just need to let the cold freshen them up." His wings straightened out, but one was still broken.

Queen Clarion said with tears in her eyes, "Your right wing broke. I'm so sorry." She threw her arms around him and wept. Lord Milori wrapped his arms around her as well, grieving his loss.

The fairies could hardly watch. The scene brought tears to their eyes as well.

"We can't ever let this happen again," Queen Clarion said. "From this day forward and to this day, warm and winter fairies must stay away."

"I have to agree on this one. This rule will be there to keep the fairies safe. Even if it means…"

"…we won't ever be able to see each other again," finished the queen. "Goodbye, Milori." As they shared their last kiss, they realized that this wasn't just a see-you-later goodbye. They would never see each other again.

"I will never forget you, Clarion. You will always be in my heart," Lord Milori said.

The fairies had never seen anything so painful since the day that Tinker Bell and her sister said their last goodbye at the border. It was almost like rewatching a painful memory.

"That's why I almost never saw Periwinkle again," Tink said.

The six friends vanished back to the present.

Queen Clarion and Lord Milori were sitting in the queen's bedroom when Tink and her friends came back. "Did you find out anything?" he asked.

Rosetta said, "We just saw the saddest moment that we've ever seen."

"What?" asked the queen.

"That you were doomed to a life of misery."

The rulers looked confused. "What do you mean?"

"The day that fairies were to never again cross the border," Fawn said.

"Oh, that," Lord Milori said. "Yes, that was a very heartbreaking day. But nothing can tear us apart now that we're reunited."

Queen Clarion said, "You should get some rest, girls. But I'll send you back even farther tomorrow, okay?" They all nodded. Tink was looking forward to even more adventure tomorrow. But for now, rest.
