Chapter Four: Darcy and Stormy's Wrath
Once back in Tecna's room, all of the pixies began measuring the new fabric that Digit and Lockette found. Tune made dotted lines on the sash and Lockette and Digit began cutting where the lines were. Then, they flew up to the waist of the dress and placed the piece of sash there with safety pins before beginning to sew it together along with an old apron. After, Chicko flew to the neck of the dress to measure how long the neck line was. Tune pulled out some lace as Chicko grabbed it in his tiny feet and flew it back up towards the neck of the dress. The rest of the pixies packed up a shoe full of spools of thread, and used a pulley system to bring the shoe up to the top half of the dress. Chetta, Amore, Tune and Livy all helped sew the lace on the neckline with the delivered threads. Chicko and Digit wrapped a nice purple ribbon around the waistline and tied it in the front with a big bow as Digit trimmed the left over ribbon from the bow. All the pixies hustled and bustled to finish Tecna's dress and were very successful with all the extra hands.
It was now eight at night, as the big digital clock on the tall tower in the technological kingdom displayed. Everyone in the kingdom of Zenith began to head toward the Royal palace for the ball. At Tecna's quaint house, the limousine arrived to take Icy, Darcy and Stormy to the palace, and Tecna was looking out the window as she noticed headlights approaching the house. She left the window sadly to let her step-mother and step-sisters know that their ride was ready. Tecna knocked hesitantly on the door to the girls' room while they were preparing, she was expecting to be yelled at again, and that is just what she got.
"What is it, Tecna, can't you see we're busy!" Icy snapped.
"Your limo is here." Tecna replied with a slight gulp.
"Oh," Icy began calmly, "Tecna, you're not ready."
"I suppose… I'm not going after all." she sighed.
"Well isn't that a pity." Icy told her, hiding every bit of sarcasm in her voice as Darcy and Stormy peeked their heads out from the door, "There will be another time."
"Yes." Tecna sighed once again, "Have a good time.", and with that, the heartbroken technology fairy headed up to her bedroom in the attack of what seem to used to be her own house.
Tecna looked back into the dark staircase before walking towards her window and learning her head in her hands as she looked at the digitally enhanced kingdom below and the beautiful white castle in the distance.
"I wonder what a ball would be like?" Tecna thought to herself, "I just bet it would be boring and… who am I kidding… it would be absolutely brilliant." Suddenly the lights in her bedroom flicked on, and she turned to she Chicko opening her closet and flying out with Digit holding the brand new dress that the pixies spent the whole afternoon sewing and putting together for her.
"Oh wow," Tecna gasped in surprise, "its the dress I didn't have time to make myself!"
"Surprise!" The pixies cheered, flying around the excited pink haired fairy as she took the dress from Digit and Chicko.
"Happy birthday!" Lockette added.
"It's not Tecna's birthday." Chetta corrected, but it didn't matter, Tecna was just so happy that she couldn't control herself.
"Thank you everyone!" She shrieked, "How could I ever ask for anything else, you pixies are the best friends anyone could ever want."
Icy, Darcy and Stormy walked as gracefully as they possibly could down the stairs to the main entrance to their house. Once they were at the door, Icy turned toward her two clumsy daughters.
"Now, when you are introduced to the prince of Zenith, make sure you-" Icy began, but was interrupted by Tecna calling from upstairs.
"Wait for me, please wait!" she called running down the stairs in her new hand made purple and white dress, "Isn't it just beautiful, do you think its enough?" The pixies peeked out to see what the witches had to say about Tecna's new dress.
"You're not just going to let her-" Stormy began as Darcy chimed in, pulling in their mother's dress, begging her not to take the fairy with her. Tecna was obviously more beautiful than both Stormy and Darcy combine, especially in that dress, but Icy had a plan.
"Ladies, that's enough." she ordered, "After all, we did make a deal, and I never break my promises. And you had a very good idea… the beads you used give it just a perfect touch… wouldn't you agree, Darcy?" Lockette and Digit watched Icy as she came closer to Tecna to observe the beads she was wearing
"No I don't, she must've… that insignificant little fairy stole my beads!" Darcy shouted. Lockette wanted to fly out toward the witches and take then on herself, but Digit stopped her from going any further. Darcy snatching the silver beads from around Tecna's neck. The motion was so rough that Darcy scratched Tecna with her sharp nails, and Tecna felt where she had scratched her to make sure she wasn't bleeding, thankfully it was only a scratch. Then, Stormy gasped, noticing that Tecna had used her sash.
"Look at my sash, she used my sash too!" Stormy yelled as the two young witches began tearing away at poor Tecna's lovely dress. The tore every beautiful detail off of the dress, and she had no idea what was going to happen next. All that could be heard was Darcy and Stormy yelling furiously at the innocent technology fairy, and Tecna's pleas for them to stop ruining the dress that her best friends worked so hard to put together for her.
"That's enough, ladies, you've done well." Icy commanded, stopping Stormy and Darcy from wrecking the dress any further, "We can't be late for the prince's ball." And so, the two witches headed to the door, leaving Tecna in a pile of what used to be her dress. Tecna looked down at what Darcy and Stormy had done, gathering the fabric that was still on the dress in her grasp, then she looked up at Icy.
"Good night… you worthless fairy." Icy laughed wickedly, closing the door with a final click, and once they were gone, Tecna finally broke down, her once great optimism was shattered by the witches' evil cruelty. She buried her face in her hands and began running out of the back door of the house toward the digital garden that was lit by lights in the artificial trees. The pixies and Chicko watched Tecna run into the garden, and followed her, for when she was calm again, they would be there to give her all the support they possibly could give.
