Tink flew back to her house and saw Terence waiting for her on the porch.

"I'm so sorry, I know I'm—"

"Tink, it's fine. I know to expect you to be late," he winked at her and playfully tugged at her dress. "Are you all ready?"

"I think we should head to Winter Woods first. You still haven't met Peri!"

"I'm not exactly dressed for the Winter Woods," he bit his lip, glancing down at his brown leaf outfit. Tink said nothing but she tugged him inside the house and shut the door. She set the basket down and sat at her tinker table, where she spread out some brown cloth and set to work. Terence watched her, looking puzzled until she started to sew and it started to come together. She finally held up a brown shirt and seemed to be measuring it against him. She continued to work, sewing leaves here and there, working with her tongue sticking out the side of her mouth as she did when she was lost in concentration. Terence let her work, having learned NOT to disturb her when she was so focused.

Finally she let out a "mmmhm" and stood up. She approached him, with two things flung over her arms.

"Ok, take off your shirt and vest."

"Excuse me?" He blushed and she rolled her eyes.

"Terence, really?! After what we did last night, you're shy?!" Terence swallowed but nodded.

"Fair point." He quickly shed his shirt and vest and Tink forced herself to concentrate and not stare at his well-built form all morning. He slipped on the brown shirt and put his shirt and vest on over it. It matched perfectly and he loved the feel of the material. She held up a soft brown coat with red and orange leaves adorning the front. The collar came up around his neck and he thought it was very stylish. He slipped it on, feeling it cover up his wings and he walked to the mirror.

"Wow Tink. You really are a fantastic tinker." She blushed.

"It's quite easy. Come on, let's go introduce you to my sister! She's been dying to meet you."

They flew together to the Border where they could cross into the Winter Woods. Tink's heart raced at the feeling of her hand in Terence's and she caught his eyes and smiled. Terence shivered and Tink pulled out the coat she had made for him.

"Go ahead and put this on. If you want, we can frost your wings but you can also keep them covered. It's really up to you."

"F-frost my wings?" Tink opened her mouth to explain but her wings were starting to glow so brightly, Terence had to shield his eyes.

"What's happening Tink?" Tink didn't answer but a sly grin crossed over her face and she jumped to the edge of the border.

"We can't play Fly and Go Seek with our wings glowing like this! Come on out, Your Frostiness!" There was a giggle and a pixie emerged from behind the tree. Terence's eyes widened at the resemblance. Periwinkle was simply beautiful and her bright eyes widened just as his did.

"Tink, is this who I think it is?"

"It sure is! Terence, meet my sister Periwinkle."

"Nice to finally meet you," he held out his hand but shivered again. Periwinkle took his hand, dragged him further into the cold, and placed her hands over his wings. He suddenly felt warmth spread through his wings and he stopped shivering.

"What was that?"

"Frost traps in the warmth. It's what we do when Warm Fairies come visit us. And it's very nice to meet you too," she shook his hand, grinning broadly. Terence recognized that smile and he felt like he was going crazy as she and Tink embraced. He ran his fingers through his hair and shook his head.

"I'm going crazy, looking at you two."

"Yeah, everyone says we look a lot alike," Tink said with a grin. Peri quickly frosted her sister's wings as well and hugged her again.

"So is it true, what I hear? Are you and Terence mated now?" When Tink and Terence exchanged a loving glance, Peri squealed.

"I am SO happy for you Tink! Oh and of course you too, Terence! My goodness, I can't believe it! Tell me everything! Did your wings glow pink? Did he give you a Cup? I need details!" Tink and Terence both laughed at Peri's enthusiasm. She was definitely Tink's sister!

"I'll have to fill you in on everything later, Peri. Terence and I are going out to explore Neverland." Peri's smile faded.

"Why?" she asked in a hushed voice.

"We were crowned King and Queen of Neverland last night. And I've never been outside of Pixie Hollow. I want to see everything!" Peri crushed her sister in a hug and Terence stood back a bit.

"Be careful, Tink. I hear there are dangers out there like you couldn't believe."

"Peri, I've been to the Mainland. I've been captured by humans. I'll be ok."

"I hear there are worse things. Terrible creatures and humans who are more cruel than you could imagine. Just please be careful."

"Of course," Tink assured her. Peri went to Terence and hugged him tightly.

"Take care of her, won't you?"

"With my life, Periwinkle," he said softly. Tink took his hand and they rose into the air together. Peri waved until she could no longer see them, then her hands fell to her side and she sighed.

"Hey Peri, was that Tink I saw?" She turned to face the pixies and sparrowman coming out of the woods behind her.

"Yes it was. She was introducing me to her Mate, Terence."

"Oh I've heard about him," Gliss said with a giggle. "The handsome Dust Keeper."

"And taken Dust Keeper," Peri said firmly.

"Was Rosetta with her?"

"Sorry Sled, she didn't come today." Sled's handsome face fell and he sighed.

"You just became her Mate last night! Good grief, do you have to spend every waking moment with her," Spike said, scoffing. Sled glared at her.

"When you find a Mate who can stand you, Spike, you'll know that answer." Spike rolled her eyes but shut her mouth. Peri sighed and Gliss cocked her head.

"Why so glum, Peri?"

"Tink is going to explore Neverland."

"I'd heard she was crowned Queen! That's great that she wants to go out and explore."

"It is great but haven't you heard the stories? About what's out there? I'm scared for her and Terence."

"She'll be fine, Peri. She's survived a whole lot before. She's a tough little tinker," she nudged Peri, making her smile.

"Maybe you're right. Come on! Anyone up for a snowball fight?"

"Always," Sled cried as the Frost Fairies sped off and dove into the snow.
