Chapter 5. Here's were things get deep. Enjoy.

"Are you ready Elizabeth?" called Martin upstairs to Lizzy. She quickly came downstairs.

"Ready father." she said trotting down the steps.

"You look wonderful darling."

"Thank you."

She looked back upstairs.

"Miss Rosetta is coming down too.

"Oh, uh. Wonderful."

Meanwhile, Fawn was at the living room window again. She had a clear view of the foyer, and watched Martin and Lizzy was they awaited Rosetta. And it wasn't long until she came down, just as beautiful as ever.

"Ah Miss Rosetta. Are you ready?" he asked.

Rosetta nodded. The three were out the door in no time.

Rosetta stopped though. She was stunned at the strange looking vehicle.

"Well come on Miss Rosetta." said Martin as he led Rosy to the car. She pointed at it.

"Well, yes. It's a car." he said like she had never seen one before.

Lizzy got in first. Martin opened the passenger side and signaled for Rosetta to get in, but she was a bit afraid.

"Poor thing." he said under his breath. "It's alright."

Rosetta slowly walked over to the car. Martin took her hand, and guided her inside. She sat down.

"There you go." he said shutting the door very gently. He got in the driver's side. He started it and the engine practically made Rosy jump in fear.

"It's okay, Miss Rosetta. It's just the engine starting." said Martin trying to calm her down.

"Are we going to our favorite spot?" asked Lizzy as they went to the car.

"Actually, I thought it be nice if we go to another, different kind of spot. "

"Oh, where?"

"It's somewhere my father used to take me when I was your age."

Fawn watched them board the car. She didn't know where they were going, but she had to get at Rosetta somehow.

"Now's my chance." she said as she flew to the back of the vehicle and it started down the road from the house.

Rosy was intrigued by the many buttons and switches on the dashboard. She began pushing and clicking them to see what they did.

Martin and Lizzy looked curiously at her.

Fawn was standing carefully on the car's back bumper. It was a very rocky ride. She could have just followed them via flying, but didn't want to waste to pixie dust. She looked down at her feet. Thankfully, it wasn't too slippery.

Rosy was amazed the beautiful English countryside. Wide open meadows, fields of the greenest grass she had ever seen, and waves of marigolds that seemed to form an ocean on land.

Suddenly the car came to a stop.

"Well here we are." said Martin putting it in park.

"Father, its-its, it's so beautiful."

"Told you." he said with a slight chuckle."My parents used to take me out here when I was a little boy.

They all got out. It was more beautiful than Lizzy and Rosetta had even even imagined.

The open meadow was wide, trees at every few inch. There hills in surrounding it, and best of all, a wide open blue sky.

Fawn heard them get out, but didn't expect them to come to the back. They approached. She looked around to find a possible escape. She quickly darted under the car just as they were arriving.

"Did we get everything?" asked Lizzy.

"Absolutely my dear." said Martin. "Didn't miss a single thing."

They grabbed everything and walked out into the meadow toward a nice, big, shady tree.

She got from under the car.

"I have to get to her." she said as she flew from under. She fluttered over them to tree.

"I don't think Miss Rosetta has ever been to a picnic before. It's a good thing she came with us."

"Indeed." he smiled at Rosetta.

She smiled back.

The three of them made it to the tree, under the perfect spot of shade.

Rosetta took the blanket and it instantly rolled out. She was kind of confused.

"Oh here. I'll so you." said Martin taking the other end. He guided Rosetta and they laid it on the grass.

"There."

"And don't forget the food." said Lizzy putting down the basket.

Fawn watched them from up in the tree. She needed for Rosy to be alone so that she can speak with her privately without being seen.

The three shared, tea, crumpets and a few sandwiches. They talked and joked for hours during the outing. All the while, Fawn was still watching and waiting. She was starting to get bored, and even tired.

Soon it was dark. Lizzy was busy catching fireflies in a jar, while Martin and Rosetta were on the blanket stargazing.

"It's beautiful. Isn't it?" asked Martin with Rosetta cuddled under him as they laid together under the starlit sky.

She simply nodded.

"I'm really glad I-I had a chance to see it again after a while."

"Father, I'm having some trouble. I can't seem to catch anything." Lizzy called over to him.

"Keep trying sweetheart." he called back.

Rosetta noticed her and got up. She walked over to her.

"Oh fiddlesticks." said Lizzy quite frustrated.

Rosy tapped her on the shoulder. She turned around.

"Yes?" she asked.

She signaled for Lizzy to give her the jar. She opened it. and carefully began moving about gently, until she finally caught a few flies. Afterward, she handed the jar back to Lizzy.

"OH I get it, be patient." said Lizzy. "Oh thank you Miss Rosetta."

She hugged her again. Rosetta felt really loved from this.

Lizzy ran back out to catch more flies. This time more slowly and patiently.

Rosy walked back over to Martin and laid down with him.

"Quite a wonder isn't she?" he asked.

Rosetta smiled as the two looked over to see Lizzy catch more fireflies.

"You know I usually don't get to spend enough time with her often."

Rosetta put on a "how come?" kind of face.

"Well because I'm always working, always traveling. But I've always wanted to study insects, ever since I was her age. Sometimes I wish I could do both at the same time."

Rosetta seemed to understand. She herself loves to interact with plants and what not, and lately because of her guy troubles, she's been spending less and less time with her friends.

Martin glanced down a bit at himself and Rosy. They were very close to each other.

He looked back up at Rosetta who was looking up at the stars. As he stared upon her, the reflection of the star's light, lit brightly down on her face. Her gorgeous green eyes glistened in the night. Her long hair felt warm. Obviously the stars weren't the only things shining tonight.

"Beautiful." said Martin in a silent tone. Rosetta heard him though.

She turned to him a bit surprised. Did he just call say what she thought he said?

She pointed to herself.

"Ahem." he said nervously. For the first time in while, he had blushed.

Fawn, who had hit herself inside their basket, watched them. What was going to happen.

"Uh yes. You do look rather dashing tonight." he said trying to cover up his previous word.

Suddenly something bright appeared in the sky. Rosetta looked up see it. She instantly recognized it as the second star to the right, where Neverland was located. He looked up to see what she was looking at.

"They are wonderful." he said.

She turned to face him.

"The stars."

She turned her head back up to the sky.

"See that one there?" he just so happened to point to the second star to the right where Neverland was.

Rosetta nodded a bit nervously.

"You know Elizabeth got this silly notion that fairies live in that star."

Rosy was quite shocked to hear this. Fairies were real, there was no doubt about that, but she just remembered that she was actually a fairy.

"But I've repeated time and time again that there just big balls of rock and gas." he sighed. "I'm sure she'll grow out of her silly imaginations."

She was a little annoyed by this but knew not to let it bother her.

"So anyway, how did you become...you know...alone?"

Rosy looked back up at the sky insight of the second star to right. She was beginning to think of her friends and Pixie Hollow. She put her head down.

"Something terrible happened to your family huh?"

She nodded her head in sadness.

"Well...well don't worry, you don't have to explain why. I know what it's like to lose someone, but you're entire family its...it's like life has lost all meaning."

She simmered on this thought. She did enjoy being human for once, but really her true purpose was being a garden fairy, tending to flowers, growing seeds, helping nature, and most importantly, bringing seasons to the mainland. On the other hand, she had perhaps finally found something she knew she could never find in Pixie Hollow, a guy.

"I don't know what I'd do if I lost Elizabeth. She's...the only one I have."

He turned to Rosetta.

"And you have no one." he said feeling extremely sorry for Rosetta. She turned to him.

By no one, Rosetta took this quite deep. She had her friends, who were always there for her, but never has she had a good guy to comfort her like Martin. He was sweet, handsome, hardworking, thoughtful, fatherly, responsible, and always, always kind. He was even willing to take her in while she was out and homeless.

He smiled at her.

"But you have us now. We'll always be here to help you." he said reassuringly. "I'll, always..."

He stared deeply into her eyes. They sparkled even brighter.

Rosy did the same. Her heart was bursting with butterflies. Was it true? Was she really starting to...fall in love? With a human?

Fawn looked up at them, anticipating of what was about happen.

Martin and Rosetta had their eyes fixed on each other like hawks, neither one of them wanting to stray away. Their eyelids lowered, like they were about to close. Then slowly their heads moved in.

Fawn's eyes widened in shock.

"No Rosy, don't do it. Don't do it." she whispered like she wanted to stop it before it happened, but she couldn't try and risk revealing herself to Martin.

The two of them moved in closer and closer. Their lips just mere inches from each other. Rosetta wanted this more than anything. Slowly their eyes closed. They were going to kiss.

Fawn inched like she was about to try to break it up anyway. She felt helpless.

She gasped.

But before they could touch...

"Father?" called Lizzy as she was approaching them. They both backed away quickly.

"Oh! Yes darling?"

Lizzy yawned.

"I'm sleepy. Can we go home now?"

"Oh yes, yes! Sure." said Martin getting up quickly. "It is getting rather late so...we..."

He looked down at Rosetta, who was kind of disappointed, but smiled.

"...best be getting back." he said feeling a bit disappointed himself.

"Whew." said Fawn silently out of relief. "That was close."

Soon it was late, as the three were returning home. Lizzy was asleep in the back seat. Martin and Rosy smiled at each other as they looked back at her, like proud parents.

Honestly to Martin, it felt really different to have someone else in the car, besides just Lizzy. Really it felt extremely different to have another woman around at all. Besides Mrs P. For years it had pretty much just been him and his little girl, no one else. But having a grown woman around was starting to become something special, really special. Martin didn't know for sure, but was he really starting to fall in love with a homeless woman that he simply took in?

Lizzy yawned again as Rosetta laid her down on her bed to was on the edge of the bed watching. After they together covered her, they both tucked her and then stoked her back. They just so happened to touch each other's hands. Another new feeling came over her as she kissed Lizzy on the cheek. It was like she was Lizzy's mother, and Lizzy was her child. She carefully turned out the light.

Martin left for his room. Rosetta walked out about to close the door. Before she did, she looked back at Lizzy and smiled.

"Good night my little angel." she said in her head before finally closing the door, leaving Lizzy to dream away.

Downstairs, she was preparing to hit the sack by the fire. It was warm and cozy as she was laying down a few blankets and fluffing her pillow.

Suddenly a shadow appeared before her as she fluffing. It seemed like a rather recognizable one at that. Like she had seen it before. She turned around slowly.

There before her, floated a very concerned Fawn. To her utter surprise.

"We need to talk." said Fawn knowing of everything from the beginning.

Well that does it for chapter 5 and there's still more on the way. Please review. I couldn't really think up a villain. Sorry :)
