One hour later

Now that the middle of the day was approaching, it was certainly beginning to warm up in the Tinker workshop for those who were there, even with the cover of their leaf umbrellas. Some were now taking breaks and had gone off to the nearby pond to cool down and wait for the midday sun to pass. Tinkerbell, however, had remained behind at the shop with a few others and was trying to repair the damage that had been dealt to her chair earlier when Fawn had entered the workshop. Her head was still hurting a little bit from where her friend had accidentally hit her over the head but it was gradually edging away.

Talking of Fawn and her trying to catch Blaze, she had heard that it had been quite rough in other parts of the Hollow. Already, they had caused chaos in the nearby sunflower fields where the garden and light fairies were by knocking over several of the plants and almost several of the fairies out of the sky. Hearing this made Tinkerbell worried and annoyed at the same time because of the damage they were causing. All she and the others could do was hope that they did not come back over to the workshop and cause any damage or harm as they did earlier.

Though, they do say you should never really hope or wish for in advance.

Through the bushes and around the various parts of Pixie Hollow, Blaze continued his evasion of Fawn, who had by now decided to do whatever it took to catch him after the fiasco at the Tinker workshop. It was proving to be very difficult as she had bruised herself several times in the fields, whacked her arm on the elbow on a branch when they were going past the Home Tree and got her dress covered in a bit of dirt when she had made a high rise dive attack on Blaze and he moved and she landed in a pool of mud, only infuriating her more even though normally she would not have minded being in a place.

And right now, both were heading right back to where this chase had become noticeable earlier.

Tinkerbell was busy hammering away one of the legs into the slot of the upturned chair, making sure it was lodged in tightly. That was another problem she had had with the chair when she had first put it together so this time she was going to make sure it was perfect and not rocky like it had been the first time she had relaxed on it.

Let's just hope it will work this time she mentally told herself as she put down her hammer and twisted the leg into place as tightly as it would go.

"BLAZE!"

Tinkerbell almost jumped out of her skin and shot round to see two figures fly out of the leaves of a bush nearby and dive right down towards the workshop. It was Blaze and Fawn again. They flew down the workshop and then back again, Fawn trying to grab him countless times but all were unsuccessful. Seeing the likelihood of danger, the other Tinker fairies quickly took cover but Tinkerbell stomped her foot and huffed. This was really starting to annoy her; those two were a hazard to everyone around here! Well she was going to put a stop to it once and for all!

She flew after them and grabbed a piece of vine rope being used by one of the Tinkers on one of the stone tables, keeping close behind Fawn who was following Blaze in a kind of circle around the part of the workshop where Tinkerbell was. Tinkerbell waved the vine around above her like a lasso and threw it towards Fawn. It wrapped around her leg and she began to pull as hard as she could. Feeling the tug, Fawn looked over her shoulder at the culprit and was shocked to see who it was.

"Tinkerbell?!" she exclaimed, stopping all of a sudden above the chair, which was not a good thing at all.

A second later, Tinkerbell collided with Fawn and both fell screaming onto the chair with a loud thud, followed by several snaps as the legs of the chair broke off and now this time there was a split in the middle of it on one of the twigs. Fawn groaned as she lifted her head up from where one of the legs had been. Now that was painful!

High pitched laughter above drew her attention and she saw Blaze chuckling at their dismay. It was short lived; however, as Fawn glared up at him, who promptly silenced his laughter but also, unfortunately, made him fly off again as quick as he would go. Untying herself from the rope, Fawn dashed after him.

Behind her, Tinkerbell, who had looked up to see her go, shook her fists madly and growled to herself from behind gritted teeth. This was really starting to get to her now!

"One…two…three…four!" she recited in a hissing voice to herself, trying to calm down and not try and throttle Fawn and Blaze.

Well, she was going to have a lot more work ahead of her now.

Later

Whack, whack, whack! That was the only noise Tinkerbell seemed to be hearing in her head now as she hammered the legs into place on the now mostly fixed chair. The split in the middle had been replaced with another twig, though it was still a little loose as Tinkerbell still had to adjust it into firm place and then tie it up with vines to make it stronger, though there was a problem between that and…

Tinkerbell glanced left and right, her eyes now glaring dangerously in both directions, making sure that neither Fawn nor Blaze, though mostly Fawn, were coming.

...Looking out for those two. Twice they had destroyed her chair today! Well now, she was going to have none of it now!

Or so she thought.

Just outside the workshop was a small branch that came down from a nearby tree and went into the ground, forming a kind of wall on a small path that led from the workshop to the edge of Tinker's Nook where the Tinkers lived. Two Tinkers fairies, one a woman and the other a man, were walking down this path, chatting happily.

"Blaze, get back here you fire-flying vermin!"

Suddenly, a firefly zoomed around the branch and slammed into the two Tinkers, knocking all three of them to the ground. Right behind Blaze, Fawn appeared, no longer wielding anything to try and hit him with. The firefly immediately took off with Fawn in hot pursuit; bewildering the two Tinkers who watched them go.

"Jeez, what's their problem!" the man complained and the woman nodded.

Up and over the rock wall, the two found themselves back in the workshop, though back at the other end. It was lucky for the Tinkers that they had all, apart from Tinkerbell, left to cool down at the pond, or to get away from the workshop, hence why some of them had taken their work with them as they got the feeling this wild and crazy chase going on was going to hit back at the workshop later. Blaze hid under some of the various tables but Fawn dived after him and made him move on so she could try and catch him more easily.

However, when Blaze hid under one of the wooden tables about half-way down the workshop, he saw a wooden roller with stone wheels next to him and idea popped into his head on how to lose Fawn, who was heading straight for his table. Blaze grabbed the roller and flew out from under the table, startling Fawn who had had been just about to grab him, and put it behind him to block it from view. Then he turned and pulled a face to irritate her. It worked.

"That does it, Blaze!" she growled and flew towards him at full speed in a kind of diving motion.

It was when she was right in front of him that he moved out of the way. Before Fawn could even blink, she landed right onto the roller and sent herself, along with Blaze, who started pushing it from behind for several feet, right down the workshop, right towards…

Tinkerbell, who was now on the other side of the table, facing towards the chaos coming her way, reached behind her on a small wooden seat to pick up one of the paintbrushes and paint she had borrowed from the Animal fairies. She had fixed the vines into place and was done with putting the legs back in. All she had to do now was finish painting it and her chair was finished.

Unbeknownst to her, the roller carrying Fawn slammed into the side of the stone table and sent her up and going right through the middle of the headrest. Realising what she had done, she tried to pull herself out of the hole but it was no use. Now, she was beginning to panic and as she looked up she saw Tinkerbell turn around, holding a paintbrush and a small stone of a mixture of green and brown paint. She dipped the paintbrush in the paint and, whilst putting the stone on the end of the chair, began to paint what she thought was the headrest, though it was actually Fawn's nose and skin between her nose and upper lip.

When she looked up at the headrest, Tinkerbell and Fawn looked silently into one another's eyes for a moment as if contemplating what they were seeing was real of not. Then, as Fawn expected, Tinkerbell snapped.

"Fawn! What have you done?!" the Tinker fairy shouted angrily, her face reddening with anger.

"I'm sorry, Tinkerbell!" she cried and pulled her head out of the hole, massaging her neck when she had done. "Here, let me help you fix it," she offered, kneeling down and trying to push the twigs that were bent outwards by her head going through the headrest back into place; only to make a few of them snap and make Tinkerbell lose her temper even more.

"Oh, just leave it, will you!" Tinkerbell practically yelled at her, making Fawn jump back in fear. "Go chase Blaze somewhere else!" she added, her voice calming a little but still full of anger.

Fawn nodded and, with a meek smile, took off out of the workshop. Tinkerbell sighed angrily and pounded her fist on the chair, only to break one of the twig legs, infuriating her more. This was really starting to get out of hand now! Three times now they had broken her chair!

"If they run this again, I'll…Oh!" Tinkerbell said, throwing the stone onto the ground and splattering the paint all over the floor.
