I decided that this chapter should come in two parts. I thought it should be a little different like that you know. So that you don't get confused. And we continue.
"Well then. Miss Rosetta, let me introduce you to the others." said Martin guiding her throughout the ball.
There were many people dressed in attire Rosetta had never seen before. She was very awestruck at it all, but this was also met with a small sense of fear. Everything was different. The people were different, the environment, the people, even the food. She was beginning to feel out of place a little, like she wasn't where she was supposed to be.
She began looking up at the night sky again. Once again appeared the second star to right.
She just shook her head, trying to shake the thought of it all. She was going to enjoy her life even though she was no longer a fairy.
"Mr. Crumplebottom." said Martin as he and Rosy approached another gentleman.
"Ahh cheerio Martin." said Mr. Crump as he turned around and shook hands.
"Rosetta I'd like you to meet Mr. Crumplebottom. He's my boss at work."
"Nice to meet you as well Miss Rosetta."
She curtsied a bit nervously.
"Is she alright?" asked Mr. C as he noticed this.
"Well yes, but she can't speak. She has a sore throat.
"Oh how terrible." said a lady coming over.
"Mrs. Crumplebottom."
"Pleased to see you Martin."
Rosetta smiled a bit more nervously. As the three of them talked, she frowned secretly. Was being human really worth it to have a family? Suddenly she felt herself blacking out yet again. She almost fell to the floor. The three humans stopped their conversation and noticed this.
"Miss Rosetta?" asked Martin catching her again. "You blacked out again. Are you sure you're okay?"
She nodded quite unsure.
"Maybe we should head back to the house." he said quite worried.
She shook her head and rubbed it.
"Well, okay then, but if you feel sick or anything, we can always head back."
She breathed a sigh of relief, but deep down, she wasn't so sure.
"Are we getting close?" yelled Sil on her and Clank's dove.
"We should be!" yelled back Fawn.
Soon the fairies and their doves her right over the London buildings. They weren't too far from the ball, but they still weren't sure where it was. The doves were getting tired so they landed on a nearby building. Fawn was the first to get off. She walked ahead for a minute to see if she could spot the ball.
Bobble approached her.
"Bobble, how much more time to we have?" she said as she heard him approach.
Bobble checked his watch. The others were resting nearby. Sil came over behind.
"It's just now getting to be 10:00. Summer ends at 12:00..."
"Which means we have 2 hours. We just gotta find Rosy."
"Don't worry we'll find her." said Bob resting his hands on her shoulders.
Fawn began to discouragingly glance at the ground.
"Oh if anything happens to her,"
"It's okay dewdrop, Rosy's not dying on our watch."
Bobble looked back at his watch.
"And speaking of which, we should get going, it's already 10:15."
Fawn looked ahead at the other countless buildings ahead. She knew that she and the others would never be able to find the ball this way. She had an idea.
"Hey," she said getting Bobble and Sil's attention. "You guys rest for a minute. I'll fly ahead and find the ball. When I do, I'll call you and direct you over. Okay?"
"What?, but you could run out of dust if you don't find it." said Bobble sounding very worried.
"He's right sweetie, so far finding this ball is like finding a needle in a haystack."
"Well, I've got to try. Rosy is counting on us." Fawn began to take off.
"No, you can't!" Bobble said grabbing her hand.
"Come on guys, you should be more worried about Rosy!"
"That may be true, but we can't risk losing both of you!"
Fawn began to get emotionally frustrated.
"Bobble, let me go."
"We all go together." he answered.
"Bobble I have to do this. I'll be okay."
"No you won't. You have to stay."
"And besides. What if you don't make it to Rosy in time and you run out of dust? Who knows what can happen to you out there." said Sil.
"Nothing will happen. I have to do this. For Rosy." Fawn landed back down. She turned to Bobble who continued to stare at her and still grasped her hand firmly. He wasn't about to let his love go.
"Come on Bobble let me go." said Fawn once gain trying to free her hand. But Bobble was wasn't about to let go of the best thing that's ever happened to him.
He was very serious about all this. Fawn never knew he cared so much about her like that. She remembered having her first date with him. She loved him too. She didn't want to just leave and have him worry constantly about her, but what other choice did she have? She had to save her best friend.
"Bobble? Honey please. I have to do this."
With one final gaze of Fawn, Bobble practically squinted his eyes closed. Fawn could have sworn she saw a small tear run down his right eye.
Sil watched. This commotion also seemed to capture the attentions of the others.
She had never seen Bobble this emotional before. It wasn't often that Bobble would cry, but seeing Fawn go, it would seem like a 1000 years before he would see her again.
He never thought he'd feel this away about anyone before.
Fawn moved in closer to him as he grasped her hand even tighter. He had it so tight that Fawn was beginning to lose blood circulation.
She began stroking his cheek. She never thought that he would love her as much as he did. She easily returned the same feeling.
"I can't bare to see you in danger." he said finally speaking.
"I love you Bobble."
She kissed him.
"But I have to go."
"Right. Rosetta needs you. "
"She needs us. All of us. We have to succeed in this."
"Don't worry honey. We'll keep you posted. " said Sil walking up to Fawn.
"Okay then."
With a heavy heart, Bobble finally let go of her. She glanced at him sadly as she turned around. Even though she was dangerously low on dust, she had to do something. Time was running out. Rosetta wasn't going to last much longer.
"You come back, you hear me?" said Bobble.
"I'll be back. You will see me again."
Fawn flew up.
"Hey Fawn?" he said one last time.
"Yes?" she asked almost tearing up herself.
"I love you too. "
She almost started to completely cry. She waved down at him. Then she flew off towards the ball.
She was extremely low on dust, but she had to find Rosetta. As she flew through many streets and shot past several humans really fast, she could feel Rosy getting closer and closer as she sped forward. She flew down a main road. She was in fact getting closer because the ball was only a few blocks away.
Back at the ball however, Rosy was starting to feel worst and worst by the minute. She wasn't sure what was happening to her, but all she could do was ignore it. Maybe it was just some minor human sickness.
Everyone in the center were dancing to classical music.
The men and women seemed to gracefully glide across the floor.
Rosy nervously looked at them. She knew that Martin would ask her to dance but she wasn't sure if she could.
"Would you like to dance?" he asked. She cringed at the question she wasn't looking forward to, but she nodded.
He took her hand and they somehow found the center of the dance floor.
"Great, now I have to embarrass myself too." she thought.
Martin took her waist with his arm and they were soon dancing. Rosetta was starting to feel more and more out of place as she danced with him. She loved him of course, but still something was wrong. All the while, she kept trying to shake these sudden attacks of conscience by staring up at Martin, but it wasn't doing any good. She couldn't bare but be away anymore. Suddenly, images of everything started to flash really clear in her mind.
Fawn was right, she wasn't a human, she was a fairy. She was needed in Pixie Hollow. She needed her plants, she needed her wings, and most of all she need her friends. She couldn't help but shoot her head back up at the second star to the right, Neverland, Pixie Hollow, her home.
Finally she gestured for her and Martin to stop.
"What is it darling?" he asked.
That's the first time he called her that. This made it even harder, but there was no other way, she couldn't be with him, she couldn't stay human, she had to get back. Back to her home, back to her friends.
She just stood there gathering her thoughts. Then she looked up at Martin, who was baffled. Even though she wanted to return, she still loved him, and she could only show it for one last time.
Out of nowhere, she grabbed his face and kissed him very passionately. She stopped. He was even more baffled. With one last glance of him, she quickly ran out of the ball. Faster than Cinderella, only this time, with both slippers on.
"Rosetta! Wait!" he cried going after her.
The colonel, Mr. C and Mrs C noticed this.
"Martin?"
"What's happening?"
"I think something is the matter come on lets go."
As they all left out, the clock behind suddenly struck 11:00 p.m. There was only one hour left. Once it struck 12, that was it, Rosy would die.
That does it for pt 2. Pt 3 coming soon. I decided to stop here. I'm sorry if I keep changing up on ya, I think there will be two chapters left before it ends. This going to be a bit longer than I thought. Keep reading, and thanks for the reviews. Piece out, God bless you all. :)
