Chapter 7

Clarion awoke to the sound of screaming.

"Clarion! Clarion! Get up! You've over slept and your meeting is in ten minutes!" Mary jumped up and down on Clarion's bed.

"What?" Clarion was screaming too, "Help me get ready!" She raced around to her bathroom to brush her teeth. "Bring me my dress!" Clarion shouted from her bathroom. Mary flew quickly and grabbed the golden and blue dress. When Clarion came out of the bathroom she looked almost perfect.

"Your hair!" Mary shouted. Clarion had the worst case of bed head Pixie Hollow had ever seen. Mary picked up a brush and the two began to frantically brush out all the knots. After a few minutes of panicking Clarion managed to get her hair up in its bun and was calming down. Queen Aurora knocked on the bedroom door.

"Enter." Clarion spoke in a collected tone. Her mother walked in and told her it was time to go. "Where are we going Mother?" Clarion flew behind the queen with Mary.

"We have to fly to the border so you can meet the Lord of Winter and his heir, darling." Her mother turned and smiled. Mary began to whisper to Clarion.

"Ok Ree, you can't be all kissy-kissy with Milori when you get there. You have to pretend you don't know him."

"I know Mary!" Clarion whispered back, "It might be hard, but I think I can do it."

"I hope you can. Queen Aurora and Lord Jameson cannot find out!" And with that Mary turned and headed to her workshop. Clarion caught up with her mother. Queen Aurora was just about to question Clarion when the border came into view. Clarion tried not to smile but it didn't work. She still smiled from ear to ear. Her eyes sparkled like never before. Queen Aurora noticed and couldn't help but think it had to do with the young apprentice.

"Hello Queen Aurora, Princess Clarion. Thank you for joining us." Lord Jameson nudged lightly at Milori.

"Hello your highness, Princess Clarion." Milori looked up from his bow to smile at his love. Queen Aurora was watching their behavior closely and saw it. Clarion curtseyed and smiled back at Milori.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Lord Jameson and your apprentice." Clarion smiled sweetly at the lord of winter.

"Ah yes!" The lord said, suddenly remembering they hadn't meet Milori, "This is the next lord, Milori." Milori smiled and bowed once more.

"It is also a pleasure to meet you Queen Aurora and Princess Clarion." Milori spoke slowly, trying not to make any mistakes. It was a big deal to meet the queen.

"Well, now that everyone has been introduced, let's get down to it." The queen began, "Why do I have the honor to be meeting with you today Lord Jameson?"

"Well a couple of my frost fairies have seen two fairies meeting here at the border. They can't get close enough to see who it is, but they know it is a winter fairy and a warm fairy." The lord reported to the queen. Clarion's eyes flashed with tension but soon went back to normal. Milori caught it and thought to himself, "It's a good thing she can mask her emotion when she needs to." Clarion didn't mask her worries quick enough however; Queen Aurora saw her daughter's change in posture and was positive something was going on. She decided not to question Clarion at the moment.

"Mhm, do you think we need to act on it?" The queen looked at the lord.

"I'm not sure Queen Aurora. What do you think Milori?" He looked to the lord-to-be. The queen's gaze too sifted to Milori.

"I don't think it is a probably now. The two fairies are probably just talking. I don't see any harm in it."

"That sounds sensible, Clarion do you agree?" The queen asked her young daughter.

"Why yes I do your highness. I see no issues in the future thanks to two fairies meeting at the border. As long as they don't cross, everything should be fine." Clarion talked regally and clearly. The queen and lord talked it over for a few more minutes and agreed, they would not interfere with the meetings at the border. Clarion sighed to herself. Milori's wings relaxed. The queen and lord said good bye.

"Clarion you may stay to get to know Prince Milori a little longer if you wish but be back by dinner." Clarion nodded and watched her mother fly away. When both the lord and queen were out of sight, they turned to each other.

"You look beautiful today Clarion. That dress makes your eyes even bluer." Milori took her hand in his and pulled her closer to winter. He went to kiss her but Clarion pulled back. Milori looked worried at his girlfriend.

"Thank you Prince Milori, but we just met and all." Clarion giggled, and Milori smiled at her joke.

"I'm sorry Princess; you just seem to take my breath away." Milori said sitting down. Clarion followed and kissed him gently.

"How has your day been?"

"It's been good. I got to meet the queen. Now I have the rest of the day off." He played with Clarion's hands.

"No way! I got to meet the Lord and I have the rest of the day off too!" Clarion climbed into his lap. He wrapped his arms around her. Clarion leaned her head against his shoulder. "Would you like to spend your day off with me?" He smiled and kissed the top of her head.

"A whole day with you? I don't know…" Clarion spun around quickly.

"What do you mean 'I don't know'?" Clarion raised an eyebrow.

"I'm just kidding dear. I would love to spend the day with you." Milori looked at her. She turned around.

"Maybe I don't want to spend the day with you now." She said. Milori sighed.

"You'd miss out on a really good time Clarion."

"I couldn't be that good Milori." Clarion shrugged.

"I think it would." Milori said before he kissed her neck. Clarion tried to get away but he held on to her tighter. He kissed the sweet spot and a gasp came from Clarion. He smiled and kissed it again. She gripped his arms as he kissed her again.

"I believe you Milori. Just stop, stop please." Clarion was whispering.

"Do you really want me to stop?" Milori looked around at Clarion's face. Her eyes were closed, and her mouth was open as she gasped for breath.

"No I don't." She said as he kissed her neck again.

"You don't Clarion?" Clarion instantly opened her eyes. That voice was all too familiar. Milori imminently released his grip on Clarion and they stumbled to their feet.

"Mother!"

Oh snap! *snaps fingers in a z formation* What do you think will happen? O.O See y'all next chapter!
