Yay! I finally get chapter 15 done! So at the end of this it kinda becomes a songfic when they dance. The song is Forever Love by Reba and the ending might make more sense if you listen to the song. Anyway, my writer's block is somewhat better so chapter 16 will be up soon too! Hope y'all like it!

Chapter 15

It had been a long day. Clarion had to write her speech early that morning. Then she had to finish approving the preparations for the party. When she finished all that she was taken back to her bedroom to have her hair and makeup done. Mary and Vidia fluttered in. Little did Ree know, Vidia was now in on Queen Aurora's plan and would help distracted the apprentice to the minister of spring long enough for Clarion and Aurora to slip out. Mary gave Vidia a devilish smile as they helped Ree into her party gown. The party would start soon, and Clarion would be Queen of Pixie Hollow in less than an hour.

"Can you believe it?!" Vidia began, "Our little Ree is all grown up!" She backed up so she could look Clarion up and down. She wore a silver dress, although once she was crowned she would magically change into the Pixie Dust Gown, and she also wore her silver tiara. Clarion took a deep breath; it was almost time.

Milori stood in the Keeper's library. He decided to get his friend to read over his speech one last time before the party. He was already dressed in his ice blue tux and couldn't wait to be crowned Lord of Winter.

"It sounds great Lord Milori!" Dewey said handing him the paper back.

"Dewey! Don't call me Lord Milori!" Milori rolled his eyes. He looked out the window. "We better get going Dewey." And with that they walked out of the library to the Pixie Dust Fall. This was it. Clarion's and Milori's lives were about to change forever.

"Attention fairies and sparrow men!" Viola yelled and blew her horn. She had just become head of the royal guard. "Introducing Queen Aurora and Princess Clarion." She bowed as Aurora and Clarion fluttered in.

"Thank you all for coming. I'm sure it means an awful lot to Princess Clarion that you all are here." She paused and looked towards her daughter, who nodded. Aurora turned towards Clarion. "Please step forward to read the oath you have written." Clarion nodded and flew to the front of the stage.

"I, Princess Clarion, promise to lead Pixie Hollow with kind justice. I promise to treat every fairy and sparrow man equally. To never be too harsh, but also never too soft. I promise that under my rule, Pixie Hollow will flourish. The seasons will be delivered on time, and everyone will be happy. I promise to rule with all my heart until my last breath." Aurora flew and took the crown off her head.

"I now pass on the crown to you Clarion. I know you will lead Pixie Hollow with all your might. I also know that you would do anything to protect your subjects. You would do anything to protect the fairies and sparrow men you love. And with that said, I now crown you Queen Clarion." She placed the crown onto Clarion's head. Clarion began to glow a bright golden color. When it faded everyone gasped to see Clarion in the Pixie Dust gown. Her wings had also double in size. She was smiling bigger than fairly possible. Aurora couldn't help but smile as well. "Let us celebrate the crowning of your new queen, Queen Clarion!" And with that music began to play and everyone started to dance. Nobody noticed Mary slip out the back door. Everyone fluttered around happily as they congratulated the new queen. Vidia flew up to Ree.

"How does it feel, Queen Ree?" She asked. Clarion punched her playfully.

"Don't call me Queen anything. We are best friends! I don't go around calling you Vidia the fast flyer!" Vidia just laughed. "And it feels amazing. This night couldn't get any better!" Just then, Aurora floated up.

"It couldn't?" She raised an eyebrow. Clarion sighed.

"If Milori could have come…and if I didn't have to dance with the Minister of Spring!" They all laughed.

"You don't!" Both Vid and Aurora said. Clarion gave them a confused look as her mother dragged her out of the room. Just then the Minister of Spring floated up.

"Where is Queen Clarion going? We have to dance soon." He said sadly.

"Poor thing is so nervous about being queen, she needed a moment." Vidia told the nervous wreck before flying off quickly.

Milori stood waiting to walk out to Lord Jameson. He was nervously wringing his hands together; he just wanted to get this over with. All he could think of was Clarion and how he wished he could be there for her. He sighed and looked into the crowd. When he saw Dewey, his friend waved at him. Just then, Lord Jameson called him out.

"Milori, it is time you take your oath and become Lord of Winter." Lord Jameson gave him a curt nod and Milori flew towards him.

"I, Prince Milori, promise to rule these woods kindly. I promise to treat every fairy and sparrow man equally, for I have come to love them all, no matter what their talent is. I promise to be a fair ruler and help winter be delivered properly until the end of time." With that Lord Jameson decreed Milori the Lord of Winter and the party began.

"Lord Milori!" Dewey called, "We have to go somewhere." He said dragging the new lord to the border. Clarion arrived the same time as Milori and smiled brightly. He looked around to see Aurora, Mary, Vidia, and Dewey smiling happily. Music began to play and the couple shot confused looks to their friends.

"It's your first dance." Aurora stated plainly. Clarion flew to the border and Milori took one hand in his, and wrapped his other arm around her waist. Clarion stood as close as she could.

"This is what they've been planning." Milori whispered. Clarion giggled lightly.

"And I'm so glad they did." Clarion rested her head on his chest.

"I like the new wings, dress, and crown Queen Clarion." Milori whispered playfully.

"Such a nice thing for you to say, Lord Milori!" Clarion reached up and kissed his nose. She let go of his hand and wrapped her arms around his neck. He slipped his to her waist and pulled her close. "I love you Milori."

"I love you too Ree." She smiled against his shirt as they danced. Mary, Vidia, and Aurora stood together watching.

"Queen Aurora, are you crying?" Vidia looked at the ex-queen, who indeed had tear-filled eyes.

"My little girl is really all grown up now." The others nodded in agreement and couldn't help but let a tear or two fall from their own eyes. Clarion and Milori dance as the music played and the moonlight shined down on them.

"I like this song." Clarion said quietly. Milori nodded.

"Isn't it from the mainland?" He asked his girlfriend. She nodded her head.

"Yes. It's Forever Love by Reba McEntire. It's one of my favorite songs." Milori didn't reply for a little; he was listening to the song. Soon he began to sing along.

"Minutes and hours and years may go by. But my heart knows nothing of time. So don't cry, just keep me right there. In your dreams. And hold on to these words of mine." Clarion looked up to him and smiled.

"Forever love. I promise you. Someday we'll be together. Forever love. I won't give up. No matter what. I'll be waiting for you. Forever love." The couple fell silent until the song was over.

"Clarion?"

"Yes honey?"

"You are my forever love. And I promise to find a way we can be together." He leaned down to kiss her, but she pulled back.

"You have been my forever love since I laid my eyes on you. I won't ever give up on us." She kissed him passionately before having to leave. But they didn't cry. Because they keep each other right there in their dreams. And they held on to those words. They knew love was the road to their destiny and nothing could change what was meant to be.
