A few things before we get started:

Tangled4ever, I'm sorry that I haven't done your requested songfic for 'A Little Too Not Over You' yet. It will most likely be my next songfic. I have made notes but not yet written it properly.

This songfic/little story was requested by 'Tink and Peri' (guest). I thought your idea was lovely that's why I'm doing it!

Also, either tomorrow or the day after I am getting a new laptop so I will be able to create more YouTube videos (Milarion stuff, yay!) and also should be able to upload a bit faster. I'm really excited because my current laptop is very old and takes about 3 minutes just to load Google…

Finally, I would like to note that none of my songfics are related. They are just classed as the same "story" to make it easier. Sorry for any confusion.

This song is called 'This Is Me' by Demi Lovato! Please enjoy!

Today was the day of the flower festival. The festival took place once every year and it included flower competitions hosted by the garden fairies, games such as painting flower petals in a limited amount of time and at the end of the night, the flower festival concert took place. The festival was being held in Springtime Square all afternoon and evening. Queen Clarion, Lord Milori and their daughter, Hope, were all looking forward to it. However, their son was not. Valiant didn't enjoy most festivals. Clarion was looking forward to seeing the calla lilies most of all, while Milori just wanted to see different types of flowers. Being from the Winter Woods, he never used to see many often. Hope was excited because she was performing in the live concert at the end of the night. Never before had she performed before; only in front of her best friend (and crush), Mark. He had short white hair, was strong and very popular among other winter fairies alike him.

Hope admired herself in her full length mirror. She wore a pink dress that was knee-height and her long, perfectly straight hair fell to her waist. On top of her head she wore a small pink tiara. Compared to most fairies, she was small and quiet. She never really fit in with other warm fairies. The only fairy who was her friend was Mark. Even her brother teased and taunted her; he always said it was his job since he was older. Not that age ever mattered in Pixie Hollow.

"Dear, are you ready?" Clarion asked as she pushed open Hope's bedroom door.

"Yes Mother." Hope replied politely as she fluttered out her room, only to see Valiant and Milori.

"Good morning Father. Good morning brother." She greeted them and did a small curtsey. Valiant groaned. He was wearing a silver tux and his prince crown. Right now, he would rather have been racing his friends. Valiant was tall, had short white hair and was strong but noisy.

"Do I have to come to this stupid festival? Flowers aren't even impressive!" he groaned.

"Valiant, I would rather you didn't call the flower festival 'stupid'. Your mother and I love this festival very much. You might even find you will too." Milori stated.

"Doubt it…" Valiant muttered as he flew away to Springtime Square. Clarion and Milori linked hands and began to walk there themselves. Hope slowly walked behind them, hoping nobody would see her.

"What do you think? How bad is it?" Hope asked nervously. It was a few minutes before the concert began and it was already dark outside. Mark sat at her side, pouring himself over the lyrics to the song she was going to perform.

"It's really good. I like this part…" he pointed to the line 'I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be now.'

"Really? Thank you." Hope blushed, glad that he liked her lyrics. "I can only hope everything goes smoothly."

"You're going to be perfect!" Mark hugged her tightly. "I promise. After all, you are Hope." He smiled.

"I guess you're right," the young princess smiled back "Thank you Mark."

"Glad I could help," the winter fairy gently leaned closer to her. Hope blushed even more. Suddenly, a loud voice floated through the air which made Mark and Hope jump.

"ALL PERFORMERS PLEASE GO BACKSTAGE!"

"Uh, I should go." Hope jumped up from the table she was sitting at. Mark stood up too and hugged her again.

"Good luck. Remember, you are Hope." He whispered into her ear as they hugged. Hope nodded before flying away, behind the stage at the far end of Springtime Square. Mark gathered up the lyric sheets and began to learn them himself.

Hope was the last performer. Everyone had decided to let the princess be the 'big finish'. Water fairies and light fairies prepared themselves as the performer before Hope fluttered off stage.

"Good luck!" Zoey, the previous performer, smiled as she fluttered past Hope and backstage. Fairy Mary quickly flew out onto the stage.

"And that was light fairy, Zoey! Now for our last performer of the night, Princess Hope!" Fairy Mary announced and then flew offstage. Hope inhaled a deep breath as she slowly fluttered onto stage. Her hair fell in the way and nobody could see her face. Mark watched anxiously from the crowd.

"I would like to dedicate this song everyone, but mainly my parents; Queen Clarion and Lord Milori." She shakily announced. Music fairies then began to play and Hope inhaled another deep breath.

"I've always been the kind of girl,

That hid my face.

So afraid to tell the world,

What I've got to say."

She didn't need to think of the lyrics. They came out without thinking and her voice was the most beautiful voice anyone had ever heard. Hope still had her face hidden from the audience of fairies and the stage was dark.

"But I have this dream,

Bright inside of me.

I'm gunna let it show,

It's time.

To let you know,

To let you know."

A beam of light shone down on Hope but she still kept her face hidden, not wanting to look at the audience of fairies in front of her.

"This is real,

This is me.

I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be now.

Gunna let the light,

Shine on me!

Now I've found,

Who I am,

There's no way to hold it in.

No more hiding who I want to be,

This is me."

"Get up there!" one of Mark's friends nudged him.

"She needs you!" Another insisted.

"I don't know the lyrics!" Mark protested.

"Do you know what it's like,

To feel to in the dark?

To dream about a life,

Where you're the shining star?

Even though it seems,

Like it's too far away,

I have to believe in myself.

It's the only way."

"Yes you do! You've been reading those lyric pages over and over again for the past two hours!" his friend gently pushed Mark.

"You know every line!" persuaded another.

"This is real,

This is me.

I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be now.

Gunna let the light,

Shine on me!

Now I've found,

Who I am,

There's no way to hold it in.

Now more hiding who I wanna be,

This is me!"

More beams of light, all different colours, began to fall on the young princess. Mark sighed and fluttered up onto the walkway part of the stage. The stage itself was circular at the end but there was a strip of the stage in the middle of the crowd. He cleared his throat.

"You're the voice I hear inside my head,

The reason that I'm singing.

I need to find you,

I gotta find you."

Hope stared, amazed. Slowly, the two fairies began to approach each other.

"You're the missing piece I need,

The song inside of me."

Hope smiled as she joined Mark.

"I need to find you,

I gotta find you!"

"This is real,

This is me."

"I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be now.

Gunna let the light,

Shine on me!"

Bubbles from all around the stage appeared and had clearly been blown by fish (trained by the water talent fairies). More beams of light appeared, shining on both Hope and Mark.

"Now I've found,

Who I am,

There's no way to hold it in.

No more hiding who I want to be!"

"This is me!"

"You're the missing piece I need.

The song inside of me."

"This is me!"

"You're the voice I hear inside my head,

The reason that I'm singing."

"Now I've found,

Who I am,

There's no way to hold it in.

No more hiding who I wanna be!

This is me!"

While the music talents still played, fireworks were launched from behind the stage. Mark and Hope were now hand-in-hand, face-to-face, beaming. Both tired from such a performance.

Meanwhile, Clarion and Milori stood at the side of the crowd in a section reserved for them. Clarion cried out of happiness while Milori beamed. Valiant stood next to his parents, amazed himself.

Hope you liked this songfic/mini story! This was requested by 'Tink and Peri' (a guest) so if you liked the idea, thank them! The parts sung by Joe in the song were done by Mark in this fic. Parts by Demi were sung by Hope. Bye for now!
