Tinker Bell got up early the next day. The sun hadn't even risen in the sky. She put on her adventure outfit and flew to her friends' houses. They were all too tired to get up and each mumbled that Tink should go back to bed. But Tinker Bell was far too excited to even stand still. Since no one was up yet, she decided to wait at the Pixie Dust Well.

When she got there, she was greeted by her best friend, Terence. "You're not usually up this early, Terence," Tink said. "And you love to rise early."

Terence said, "Fairy Gary asked me to cover early morning shift, since Flint's out sick today. This is just so nobody gets any ideas of stealing pixie dust."

"Oh, I see," Tink said.

"Going out on an adventure, are you Tink?" he asked. She nodded. "Well then, you'll need extra pixie dust," Terence said. He gave her a pouch full of it.

"Thanks, Terence," she said.

"Have fun," he said. As she started to fly away, he added, "Oh, and Tink. I've been wanting to ask you... "

"Yes?"

"Would you like to uh, you know, go out for lunch sometime?"

"Of course! How about next Tuesday?"

"Sure," he said.

Tink was so excited! She had been hoping that Terence would ask her out for a long time. Now that he had, she couldn't wait for their first date.

After waiting a while, the sun started to rise in the sky. Tinker Bell decided to go wake her friends.

"Tinker Bell?" asked someone. Tink turned. It was the queen. "What are you doing up this early?"

"I just wanted to go on a new adventure as soon as I could. Besides, we have to help you soon or something terrible could happen."

"Oh, Tinker Bell," Queen Clarion said. "While this quest is very important, you need to have patience. Your friends need their rest and energy to go on a new adventure. Let them come when they're ready."

"Alright." Tink said.

Queen Clarion smiled. "Tinker Bell, look at the sunrise. The light fairies must have done an exceptional job this morning." The early colors of daylight shined on the realm of Pixie Hollow, revealing the beautiful work of the fairies. In Springtime Square, garden fairies painted flowers, planted seeds and flower bulbs, and made them bloom. Over in Summer, animal fairies herded butterflies. Fast-flyers and leaf-painting fairies changes the color of the leaves and blew them down. And the winter fairies were using their talents to make the Winter Woods shine.

"You know, I never really took the time to notice how beautiful Pixie Hollow looks at sunrise," Tinker Bell said. "Queen Clarion?" The queen didn't respond. She looked strange, almost if she were looking into a distant realm. "Are you alright?" Tink asked.

Queen Clarion shook her head and said, "I'm fine, Tinker Bell. I need to start my royal duties, though." She tried to fly to her room, but she couldn't get off the ground. In fact, she could hardly stand up.

"Queen Clarion!" cried Tink. She rushed to help her up. "You need help immediately!"

"Tinker Bell," Queen Clarion barely whispered. "I need you to get to your friends. Get Zarina and Periwinkle. Get to the time machine. Save Pixie Hollow." The queen said no more.

Tink was panicked. Despite the queen's instructions, she didn't know what to do. "SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!" she yelled. The ministers came rushing out.

"Tinker Bell, what's wrong?" asked the Minister of Summer.

"Queen Clarion is very weak. Get her to her room and get a healing talent to take care of her! Something terrible is happening!"

"What about Pixie Hollow? What will we tell the fairies? Who will rule in the meantime?" said the Minister of Autumn.

"We can't cause a panic. It's best not to tell the fairies for now. And get Lord Milori."

"Of course, Tinker Bell," said the Minister of Spring." I know you're not a leader talent, but you are a natural born leader."

"Thank you," Tink said. After sprinkling a dose of purple dust on her wings, she zipped away.

Tinker Bell arrived at Zarina's place. "Hello, Tink," she said. "What brings you to my-"

"We've got no time to lose. Queen Clarion's in trouble and we need you to help! Bring your sword and pixie dust. We must get the others."

Although Zarina was confused, she did as she was told and followed Tink out of her shop.

In the Winter Woods, Peri, Gliss, and Spike were using their frost abilities to prepare for a surprise party. It was Dewey's birthday and the winter fairies wanted to throw him a party. They looked confused when they saw their friends fly up to them, distressed. They hadn't even put on coats to keep them warm. Zarina used her pixie dust to frost the girls' wings so they wouldn't freeze.

Peri said, "Tink, what's going on? Why aren't you wearing your coat? What's wrong?"

Her sister replied, "We must hurry. Queen Clarion needs our help now and we didn't have time to throw our coats on. Peri, we need you to help us. For Pixie Hollow."

Spike said, "Uh, hello? We were really busy getting ready for a party. If we don't hurry and finish this up, Lord Milori's gonna kill us."

Tink said, "Spike, I'm sure he would understand if we were trying to save his girlfriend's life."

"Oh, that makes sense," she said.

"Don't worry. I'll be back soon. But my sister and her friends need my help," Peri said. Zarina created a mini cloud over Peri to keep her cool. Tink, Peri, Rosetta, Zarina, Vidia, Iridessa, Fawn, and Silvermist flew away to help the queen.

When they got back to the Pixie Dust Tree, it took all eight of the girls to find and get the time machine, since there were so many security measures. Then the girls rushed into ancient Never Land, a few years before Pixie Hollow.

Thanks for reading. Sorry if I'm rushing this story. I'm not very good at writing long, detailed chapters. I also need some ideas and advice. If you have any advice or a suggestion, PLEASE review or PM.

I won't be able to update for a week because I'm going to summer camp. But I will finish this.
