Later that afternoon

The bright sun was now beginning its descent in full to hide behind the distant hills and being forth the night sky. At the moment, the air was filled with a beautiful variety of colours comprising of red, gold, orange and purple; an amazing display of light before the blackness of the night came and filled the sky with the thousands upon thousands of stars. It was also the signal to the fairies on Neverland that it was soon to be time to retire for the night and enjoy the break they had for tomorrow they would be at work all over again to prepare for the coming summer season.

In the Tinker workshop, most of the fairies were hard at work, trying to get the main part of whatever it was they had been working on today finished so they did not have to come back to it tomorrow. Some were nearly finished and would be leaving soon to go home and rest. However, all were looking forward to getting away from here after the fiasco between fawn and Blaze and Tinkerbell throughout the day, particularly now after what happened earlier when Fawn had cut down a branch, which Tinkerbell had taken refuge on with her chair to escape her destructive friend, and ended up breaking Tinkerbell's chair, again. Luckily though, the two had barely been seen continuing their chase since then, which had brought much relief to all of them.

In particular, Tinkerbell was relieved that she had not seen them again so far as she had, for a second time that day, managed to complete her chair! Proud of herself, but also wary, she had decided to have a break and have a snooze on it, quickly falling into a much needed sleep to recharge her batteries after what had happened throughout the day. After this rest, she would take her chair home to safety. Tomorrow, she would have to find Fawn and try and talk to her about what had transpired today.

Unbeknownst to Tinkerbell, Blaze was actually fast asleep on the end of her chair next to her feet, snoozing away like his fairy friend. Both were exhausted after the day's events and were in need of some rest and Blaze, after losing Fawn earlier, had seen Tinkerbell asleep on her chair and decided to see how comfy it was and, quite frankly, he was disappointed with himself that he had taken part in wrecking this thing. Well, at least it would be over soon and they would put what had happened today behind them.

However, also unbeknownst to the two, or the other Tinker fairies, an amber eye looked out at them from behind a small hole in a tree bark door that was the entrance to one of the storage rooms. It was Fawn. She had seen him sleeping on the end of Tinkerbell's chair a few minutes ago and had to try and sneak past them, as well as the other Tinkers in the workshop into the storage room. She was really annoyed that Blaze had managed to get here and was now sleeping on the end of Tinkerbell's chair as if nothing had ever happened. Anger filled her like water filling up a tank. Oh, Blaze was really in for it when she got hold of him. She was going to scrub him so hard he would remember it for the rest of his life!

Of course, the problem was how to get to him but Fawn already had that sorted out. In her hand was a long rope of vine that she would use to tie around him and pull him towards her in the storage room. As soon as she had hold of him, she could get Buck, who she had told to wait nearby for when she had caught Blaze, to help her give the firefly a bath and all the troubles that had been caused today could be pushed aside. She had already put it through the hole she was using to spy on the two now all she had to do was wave it and toss it around Blaze and then pull him in.

Quietly, she opened the door and crept out, occasionally glancing at the other Tinkers not too far away so as to make sure they would not see her and tell her to leave. When she was a few paces outside the storage room, she raised her arm with the vine and waved it like a lasso and then, with all her might, threw it towards the sleeping firefly, quickly darting back inside the storage room and leaving the door only slightly ajar.

From inside, Fawn saw the rope wrap around Blaze's middle, which made him stir from his sleep and groggily opened his eyes. Smiling to herself, she began to pull furiously on the vine. Blaze squeaked in alarm, now fully awake, and tried to grab the sides of the chair to hang on. His grip slipped the first few times and it was only when he was about to be pulled over the headrest that he grabbed it and held onto it tightly, trying desperately not to let go. Inside the storage room, Fawn pulled as hard as she could on the vine, her determination not to give up flowing through her veins like water being vented through a pipe.

"C'mon, you little!" she growled angrily as she pulled harder on the vine.

Outside, Blaze felt his grip slipping on the headrest of the chair, which only terrified him more. If he let go, then Fawn and Buck would give him a bath! Horrible images of water ran through his mind, a clean body and worst of all, soap! That last thought terrified him deeply and only made him more determined not to give up.

Using all his strength, he pulled his body forward as hard and fast as he could. The sudden movement caught Fawn by surprise and sent her slamming into the storage room door and to the floor, loosening her grip on the vine for a moment. This gave Blaze enough time to grab the vine and push it through a small gap in the headrest with his hand and then tie it up. Yes! Oh, that animal fairy was in for a horrible surprise.

Inside the storage room, Fawn picked herself up and, angry that blaze had been able to do that to her, grabbed the vine and began pulling it towards her as hard as she could, but the sudden weight increase surprised her and she came to the point of where she had to put her legs on the walls and then pull on the vine from there.

Outside, Tinkerbell stirred as her chair shook wildly. Rubbing her eyes, she looked up and saw Blaze looking back down at her, a look of worry on his face as he had realised that he had accidentally put his hand through the hole with his vine and now it was stuck and he could not get it out. He began to squeak in a panicked way as he tried to free it but it was no use. Tinkerbell, upon seeing him, shot up from her chair, a look of anger and confusion in her eyes.

"Blaze?! What are you doing here?" she exclaimed, drawing the attention of the other Tinkers nearby, who were astounded to see the chair suddenly being pulled towards a workshop's storage room by a vine.

"Uh…what's going on?" Tinkerbell asked, now filled with concern as her chair rocked a little more as it was pulled towards the storage room door, now just a few foot paces from it.

Then, suddenly, Fawn, who rolled up her sleeves and took a deep breath, grabbed the vine and gave it one big jerk and there followed a great big CRASH and the door buckled slightly. For a moment, she paused and stared in apprehension at the bark as if afraid it was going to suddenly cave in but when she vine began to move again, she quickly resumed pulling it as hard as she could, resulting in more loud crashes from the other side and each time Fawn only pulled harder.

Then…CRASH! The door caved and sent Fawn into the shelves around her, causing them to fall and spill dust as well as themselves and bits of rubble onto the ground. The other Tinker fairies, who had watched what had just happened, fluttered over to see if everyone was alright. At the entrance to the storage room was a small pile of rubble comprising of bark, bits of twigs and leafs and several bits of dirt and rock.

"Oooooohhh!"

From the middle of the pile of rubble, the head of a small firefly emerged. It was Blaze and he soughed and shook the dust off him, rubbing his head with his hand. That crashing into the door had hurt him a lot considering he had borne the brunt of it. As he tried to regain his composure, movement from behind made him turn and Fawn stumbled out, her head spinning from what had happened and she had to grab onto the side of the wall where the door had been moments ago to hold herself up. Her eyes scanned the scene around her, taking in the fairies, who had come to investigate what had just transpired. Then, they fell on Blaze…and narrowed.

"Blaze!" she hissed dangerously.

He gulped and turned to fly off, but Fawn dived and finally caught him and pinned him down and wrapped her arms around him tightly, laughing in a kind of maniacal way as if she were some kind of mad woman.

"HAHA! FINALLY!" she almost screamed with joy, tightening her hold on the struggling firefly. "After hours and hours of pain, I've finally got you, you little insect creep! Oh when we get to the bathtub I am going to scrub you to the point where you won't be able to fly for the next three weeks!"

Blaze whimpered and turned around and put on a sad eyes look akin to a puppy dog's gaze, but Fawn was undeterred.

"Oh no, don't try that little trick on me, mister!" she snapped. "You were asking for this, and now you're gonna get it!"

"Fawn!" a familiar voice behind her hissed and her heart dropped into a pool of fear and Blaze gulped, an expression of fear etching across his face.

The animal fairy turned her head and was struck by terror when she saw Tinkerbell standing over her, a small bruise on her forehead, which was, along with most of her body, completely red by this point. Her eye twitched profusely, her clenched fists shook with anger and her narrow eyes and clenched teeth easily showed Fawn that she was not angry, she was furious.

Laughing sheepishly with a meek smile, she let go of Blaze and hid her hands behind her back.

"Uh…hey, Tinkerbell," she greeted, trying to act as if everything was okay, though it was obvious the truth was far from that. "Uh…y-you have a nice sleep?"

"I did until someone woke me up and broke my chair!" her Tinker friend growled, stepping towards Fawn, who began to back away.

"B-b-but T-Tinkerbell, I-"

"Do you know how many times I've had to rebuild that thing?!" Tinkerbell spat, her voice rising. "Too many times, Fawn!" she shouted furiously.

"But Tinkerbell, w-w-we can fix it!" she blurted out, kneeling down and holding up two broken pieces of the headrest. "See, l-l-lemme just…oh, c'mon!" she tried to push them back together in a vain effort to fix the headrest, only for them to break into further pieces in her hands and fall to the ground.

By this point, Tinkerbell had lost it. She grabbed a hammer and advanced threateningly towards Fawn.

"You wanna fix something? Well then, you can start with your head when I'm done with it! C'mere!"

"NO! Tinkerbell!"

Fawn flew off as fast as she could with Tinkerbell in hot pursuit, filled with rage as she swung her hammer at her relentlessly to try and hit her.

"You're gonna regret annoying me, Fawn! When I get my hands on you, you're gonna pay! Come here!"

The other Tinker fairies watched as they flew over the workshop wall and disappeared from sight, though they heard Tinkerbell's shouting and Fawn's pleading reach their ears. Most decided to follow to see how it would end up between the two.

Blaze, however, who had taken refuge on the workshop wall, breathed a sigh of relief that he had escaped having a bath and that Tinkerbell was chasing Fawn away. Finally, the fear of him having a bath was over and he was safe at last from that dreaded look of a clean set of wings and body and soap and…oh, all the other horrid things he despised.

"Hey Blaze,"

The firefly turned to see Buck standing a few inches away, smiling in a friendly manner at him. In his hands was a small bar of soap and some brushes.

"Wonder where Fawn is?" he asked himself, searching the area for her, but shrugged. "Oh well. C'mon, buddy. Bath time,"

Blaze gave a worried groan as if to say "Here we go again!" and quickly fled with Buck in hot pursuit.

THE END.
