After arriving home, Tinkerbell began preparing for the journey ahead. She didn't know what to expect at the Forbidden Hollow once she got there and truthfully, she was a little scared, but regardless, she was planning to stick it out, get to the hollow, get the flower and save everyone in Pixie Hollow.

She pack her food, supplies and even wore the outfit she wore when she went for the Mirror of Encanta. From the Library, she had gotten a map that had the coordinates for the Forbidden Hollow.

Finally, she constructed a new pixie dust balloon, this time with much stronger twigs and rope. After all this, she was ready to go.

Before she headed on her way, Tink packed the last of her things when she was approached by her friends, whom she knew were coming. "I know why you're here," she said.

"Tink, please. Don't do this. You can't go the Forbidden Hollow," said Rosetta with angst and worry growing in her voice.

"Watch me," Tinkerbell said.

"But Tink, the Forbidden Hollow is full of dead trees and monsters and sharp bushes. If you go there, you'll never come back," Iridessa said.

"I have to go. I can't let Vidia and Pixie Hollow down," said Tinkerbell.

"But what if you don't find the flower?" asked Fawn with concern.

"Vidia once risked her life to save me, I can't call myself her friend if I'm not willing to do the same," Tinkerbell said as she wrapped up her things. "I'm sorry, guys, but this is something I have to do."

Tink took a deep breath and with determination in her eyes, she prepared to head out the door. Just then, she was grabbed by a teary-eyed Silvermist.

"Tinkerbell, please. If anything happened to you, I..." Silvermist said with a choked up voice.

Seeing the concern in Silvermist's eyes, Tinkerbell put a hand to her shoulder and looked her in the eye. "Don't worry. I'll be back."

Silvermist, Fawn, Rosetta and Iridessa followed Tink outside to her balloon. It was time for her to begin her journey, but before she got on, she turned to her friends one more time.

"I promise I'll be back with the flower," Tinkerbell said.

This was hard for her friends to swallow, but they came to realize that nothing they said was gonna stop her.

"Well, come back alive, Tink," Fawn said as she gave Tink a punch on the shoulder.

"Don't get any bruises...or cuts...or lacerations...or pretty much anything involved with the head, neck, shoulder, calves, thighs, toes, feet and any part of the body," said Iridessa.

Next was Rosetta who handed Tink a small leaf ball. "Here, take this. It's filled with a special plant antidote. It won't do much against the Purple Night, but it'll at least help stand up to it any other toxins you run into there for a while," she said.

"Please come back safely," said Silvermist.

The five fairies shared a group hug before Tinkerbell got into her balloon and waved her friends goodbye as she set off on her journey.


Many hours had gone by since Tinkerbell had left Pixie Hollow and it was almost nightfall. Feeling hungry, she took out some pumpernickle muffins.

As she at, she remembered what Clarion had told her about the cure before she had prepared to leave. Clarion had told her that the cure to the effects of the black pixie dust was from magical berries called Dark Berries that were located at a far end of the Forbidden Hollow known as the Dark Crater.

Unknown to her, she was being watched by a mysterious figure, far away in an unamed location. "Sorry, little fairy, but I cannot let you get that cure so easily," the figure said as it began to wave its hands back and forth which caused black clouds form around where Tinkerbell was going.

Suddenly, Tink noticed the clouds and the lightning, rain and wind that followed soon after. She tried her best to keep her balloon under control in the strong wind while avoiding the raindrops. She knew no matter what, nothing would stop her.

To further increase the challenge, the figure summoned a large wave towards Tinkerbell.

Seeing this, Tink had to think quickly. Suddenly, she took a wad of pixie dust and sprinkled it onto her balloon which made it fly faster.

Tinkerbell's journey to the Forbidden Hollow proved to be even harder than she thought as she was not only avoiding rain and wind, but a giant wave as well. For the latter part, it seemed to be going well for her until a bolt of lightning struck her balloon which made it catch on fire. She took a couple of leafs and tried to put the fire out.

Elsewhere, the figure chuckled as Tink's misfortune.

Things looked bad for Tink, but luckily, she had prepared for this moment. After putting out the fire, she opened a secret compartment and pulled a sall switch which caused her balloon to transform into a small boat. After wrapping her head in leafs, Tinkerbell quickly continued on.

"Clever girl," said the figure who suddenly waved her hand again which made the storm go away, much to Tinkerbell's confusion.

"Weird weather," said Tinkerbell as she continued on her journey.


Meanwhile, in Pixie Hollow, some of the Healing Fairies that had not touched by the black pixie dust were constantly tending to the victims. Their efforts temporarily eased the pain, but it did not cure them. As the hours went by, the effects seemed to get stronger and stronger with the fairies getting more and more sick.

Clarion went to check on one of the fairies that were being tended to. "How is he doing?" she asked the healing fairy.

"Not so good. We've never experienced anything like this before. The effects are growing by the minute," said the healing fairy.

This was not the kind of news that Clarion needed. She was worried about the fairies and that if Tinkerbell would be able to get the cure.

Rosetta, Silvermist, Iridessa and Fawn were tending to Vidia who suddenly opened her eyes and began to speak. "Wh-wh-where's Tinkerbell..." she said.

The four wern't sure how to tell Vidia the news.

"Maybe you should tell her," Iridessa whispered to Fawn.

"Me? No way. Rosetta, you tell her," Fawn whispered.

"Un uh. You're the voice of reason, Dessa, you tell her," Rosetta whispered.

"Well, Sil's the most...innocent, let her tell her," whispered Iridessa.

The four fairies went back and forth until they were cut off by Vidia.

"Will you just tell me where Tink is!" she suddenly shouted.

Rosetta, Iridessa, Silvermist and Fawn held each other. "She went to the Forbidden Hollow to get the cure for the black pixie dust," they all said.

"What? Oh, Tinkerbell..." Vidia said with exasperation, realizing that of course, Tinkerbell would do something like this.

While Iridessa was trying stop her heart from beating so fast, Silvermist went out and looked out to the sky. All she could think of was Tinkerbell.

"Tink, please come back soon," Silvermist said.

Just then, Fawn, Rosetta and Fawn noticed that Silvermist was gone and saw her outside. They then proceded to join her for they were equally as worried. However, they knew they had to have faith because knowing Tinkerbell, nothing would stop her from getting the cure.
