"We should tell the queen!" Prilla pulled on Vidia's arm. Vidia shook her head, "They'll be gone by then!" Then she flew down to the butterfly winged fairies. The evil duo turned around to face her, one was a boy and one was a girl. "Wooo Vidia, you look as lovely as a porcupine!" the boy whistled. "Was that a compliment?" Prilla whispered from behind her. Vidia shrugged. "What re you gettin' all lovely for?" the girl asked. 'Obviously, monarks have bad grammer.' Prilla thought.
The boy then looked behind Vidia. "Oh, and this reddy heddy behind you looks too cuuute!" He grabbed her by the hair. "I think you would make an amazing monark.." Vidia quickly slapped his hand away, but that just seemed to excite the boy even more. "Rrrrrr, I like 'em fiesty!" Vidia's face turned up in a look of suprise, then into fear.
"Are you scared?" Prilla whispered. "No, I just threw up a little." Vidia she turned towards the monarks. "Why are you BUGS back, stealing OUR pixie dust?" Prilla was secretly proud of Vidia; she NEVER would have the guts to talk back with one of these creatures. Thats when the duo went from obnoxious, to cruel. "Well, well, well, doesn't this seem familiar?" the girl grinned evily. "Monarks. You. Pixie dust. It'll be a great experience for your little friend to see you be defeated by us monarks like we did over 500 years ago!"
Vidia scowled angrily. Prilla however, had a different reaction. "500 years? Vidia, how old ARE you!?" "NOT IMPORTANT!!" Vidia shouted into the night. The boy held up a glittering bag. "This dust needs to be delivered to he queen of Pixie Hallow, Sennia!" This made Prilla gather p her courage. "Sennia? That beast? She couldn't even rule the Tinkers Nook!" she yelled.
The monarks exchanged a look...and then burst out laughing. Prilla's glow turned red. "This isn't funny!" she yelled. Vidia patted her arm sympathetically. "Darling, your just too adorable to be intimidating, but I appreciate the attempt." The boy then flew over towards the red head. "That's right, now fly off!" He then pushed her in the pixie dust well, leaving her kicking and sputtering. " Oh, now you've gone and done it!" Vidia scowled. The monarks were not scared of Prilla, but Vidia was another story, she was known for her temper. They quickly threw the bag at her, scooped up a handful of the dust, and flew off.
"COWARDS!!!' Vidia sputtered. "Vidia, a little help here!" Prilla called from the well. Vidia flew over and grabbed Prilla's hands. "WHAT IN THE NAME OF MOTHER DOVE HAPPENED!!???" Vidia was so startled, she dropped Prilla back in the well! She turned around to see Queen Clarion and all the fairies from the dance behind her. "I can't believe you're stealing pixie dust, Vidia!" Tinker Bell scowled. Vidia began to sputter. "No-I-I didn't!" Prilla finally found a way to get out of the well.
"And you got Prilla stealing to!?" Rani frowned. Prilla blew some pixie dust out of her nose. "Hey, everybody!" she greeted, oblivious to what was going on. "Vidia this is a new low for you! Tricking an innocent fairy to do your dirty work!" Tink snapped. NOW Prilla knew what was going on. "No! It was the monarks!" Prilla cried, desperatley. Tink walked over and patted her on the shoulders. "It's o.k Prilla, you don't have to defend her, you won't get in trouble." Prilla couldn't believe it. Her friends thought Vidia made her steal pixie dust! No wonder Vidia didn't like to hang out with other fairies, they all thought she was nothing but evil.
"Now everybody, let's not jump to conclusions!" Clarion commanded. "Remeber, we all made the same mistake with Vidia once, do we really wish to make it again?" "But your highness, their's pixie dust every where!" a fairy named Iredessa said. Terrence picked up the sack. 'And here's a sack full of dust!" "That belongs to the monarks!" Vidia wailed. "And your covered in dust!" Rosetta pointed out. "They threw dust at me!" Vidia growled, getting angry. Tink shook her head. "You're lying! Monarks have awesome powers! They don't need to-"
"Tinker Bell, that's enough! I know for a fact that Vidia wouldn't lie about monarks!" Clarion scowled. "Sure she would! She's VIDIA for crying out loud! She does things without a hint of concious!" Rani shouted. (A/N: Don't be mad at Rani and Tinker Bell, they still don't know why Vidia is mean!) "Oh, is that REALLY what you think of me, darling?"Vidia snapped. Tinker Bell flew towards Vidia, "It was one thing to do all those bad things when we did nothing to you, but now you've got Prilla doing it to! Why don't you do us ALL a favor, and leave!"
"Tinker Bell!" Prilla shouted. How could her best friend say that? Vidia was still a fellow fairy! Vidia was quiet as she looked over the fairies and sparrowman of Pixie Hallow. "Fine." Prilla let out a little gasp. Vidia drew in a breath. "If this is really how you all see me, then I now realize I just don't belong here with happy, carefree fairies." Her voice was suprisingly calm. Clarion looked heart broken. "Vidia, just tell them why you are like this! You have a right to be here just like all the other fairies!" Vidia was silent for awihle. "No." she said at last. "I don't need to explain myself to these losers." Clarion shook her head in sympathy.
Vidia took flight. "NOO!!" came a voice from the crowd. Elwood made his way through the fairies and flew up beside her. "Vidia, don't leave, please!" Vidia could see tears shimmering in his eyes. "Elwood..." "I'll go with you if you have to leave! Just...." Elwood was at a loss of words. "Don't leave me.."he whispered, at last. Vidia instantly felt guilty for all those times she had called him an imbecile, after all he had been her best friend before she met placed her hand on Elwood's face. "Elwood, don't give up your life for me. I don't deserve it. I've hurt you enough." She kissed him on the cheek and flew off, leaving him heart broken for the last time.
Tinker Bell was shocked that Vidia had been so selfless, but she was too stubborn to take back what she said. But Prilla was ot going to leave it at that. She flew after the fast flyer.

"Vidia!" Prilla called. Vidia stopped so Prilla could catch up. "Vidia, this isn't fair! Why are you leaving? You never cared what people thought of you before!" "Yes" Vidia turned around. "Then, I met you." Prilla's eyes went wide. Vidia took a deep breath. "After Deveon broke my heart, I decided I no longer cared about fairies caring about me. I decided the only thing important to me was my talent, that's why I always prize myself as being the fastest thing alive, it's the only thing I had left. Then when you decided to help me to help me find the queen's crown.."
She smiled at this. "I never told you this, but it was a blast! You reminded me what it was like to have someone to count on. Half of me wanted to continue our friendship, but the broken part of me was scared of getting hurt again. So, real subtly, I tried to help you out with YOUR problems, but I don't think I did a good job." Prilla remebered that one time Vidia helped her, she had told her that she shouldn't help other fairies so much. "The half of me that wanted to have friends began to grow, but it turns out I spent too long being mean, no one wants me in their lives, thet don't even want me in Pixie Hallow."
Prilla began to cry. "What about Elwood and Queen Clarion? They want you around! No matter how many times you insulted the queen, she just shrugged it off! And it's no secret how Elwood feels about you!" Tears were now flowing from her eyes. All this time, Vidia had been bickering with herself since she came along wether or not to trust people again. "And what about me? I want you around, to." she sobbed. "Don't you want ME around anymore?" Vidia bit her lip to stop herself from crying. "I do Prilla, your the best friend I ever had. You're like my sister. I love you, darling."
Prilla let out a little hiccup. Had Vidia really just said she loved her like a sister? "Even more than your talent?" Prilla asked. Vidia raised an eyebrow. "Let's not be ridiculuos now, darling." Prilla laughed a little. Vidia took a deep breath. "Good bye, Prilla." Prilla breath came out in a shudder as she looked down. "Don't leave Vidia, we'll be all you ever need." But when she looked up, Vidia was gone.

Later that night, Elwood and Prilla (once they had gotten out of their costums) sat on the edge of a rock looking at the stars. "I can't believe she's gone." Elwood moaned. "I'll miss her." Prilla whispered. "Where do you think she'll go?" Elwood shrugged. "Somewhere where a star was overlooked, and now she will make it shine with radiance." Prilla stared at him. "O.k, I know you're lovesick and heart broken, but i'm being serious here."she said. Elwood looked sheepish. "Probably the mermaid lagoon, she always wanted to go there." "She did?"Prilla asked, suprised by this bit of information. Elwood shrugged again. "She did back in the good days." Prilla looked up at the second star. "You know, I always thought Vidia was a bully who had a good side to her, I never would of guessed that SHE was the victim."
Elwood shook his head. "Don't be mad at your friends, they don't know the truth." Prilla sighed. "Yeah well.." Suddenly, Elwood cried out in pain. "What's wrong?" Prilla cried, alarmed. "Someone threw sand in my eyes!" he cried. "Wha-?" she was cut off by someone tieing a potato sack oer her. "WHAT? ELWOOD, HELP!!"she cried, terrified. "Prilla? Prilla! Where are you?" He scratched away enough dust to see butterfly wings. 'Monarks!' He tried to find them with his eyes closed wich resulted in him flying into a tree. Prilla's voice was getting fainter. 'elwooood..." 'No!" Elwood called. He was about to lose his true love and good friend all in one night! He found his way to the water and rinsed his eyes.
Prilla and the monarks were gone. 'No..."he whispered. He could have went to the queen,but that wasn't who was on his mind. "I gotta get to Mermaid Lagoon!"

"So nobody likes you?" A mermaid asked Vidia. Vidia frowned. She had just confessed her life to this mermaid, desperate for someone to talk to. (She had also gotten back her old clothes.) "No, I had Prilla.." "VIDIA!!!" Elwood called from a high. "Elwood, I told you not to follow me!" The mermaid smiled. "Oooohhh, how romantic!" Elwood flew down to Vidia. "Well...what are you doing?"he asked. Vidia blushed. "Talking.." Elwood shook his head. "MAN, you're reduced to telling MERMAIDS about your problems? Once one mermaid knows, the whole oceon knows!" Vidia got defensive. "Hey, Ariel's a great listener!" (A/N: HAHA, see what I did there?)
Elwood shook his head. "Forget about that! We need to get to Kyro's knot hole, where the monarks live!" Vidia gave him a strange look. "You're crazy if you think i'm going-" "But the monarks took Prilla!" Elwood shouted. Vidia just stood there. They took Prilla? Can she really go to a place where the people inside affected her life so bad?
