This will most likely be the last chapter for this story… I did warn you this is a short story! Please enjoy anyway!
"If you are found guilty, you will be banished from Pixie Hollow for life.
I will give you until tomorrow sunset."
The sun was slowly drifting down in the horizon. It had been a day since Vidia had attended Fairy Court and her deadline was coming to a close. She had only a matter of hours before she would be banished from Pixie Hollow. Vidia sat outside her house, the diary clenched firmly in her hands as she watched the sun start to set. All day she had been pondering over whether or not to return the diary to Queen Clarion; she could either do it publicly or privately. Vidia couldn't decide what to do because if she returned the diary, people may think she had gone "soft". On the other hand, if she didn't return it, she would be banished from Pixie Hollow. Although Vidia deeply hated most fairies in Pixie Hollow; it was her home.
"Good evening," came a gentle voice from a tree nearby Vidia's house. Vidia quickly pushed the diary into her jacket, shot up and hid behind a nearby rock as she scanned the area for the fairy.
"Vidia, I can assure you I am not here to banish you." Queen Clarion fluttered over to the rock Vidia was behind. Slowly, the fast-flyer stood up straight and bit her lip.
"Oh, it's you," she pretended not to care about the queen's presence. Normally, the queen would get messenger fairies to summon the fairies she needed to talk to; not show up at their house. It only proved how much trouble Vidia was in.
"Indeed it is," Clarion confirmed, trying to ignore her bitterness.
"I'm flattered that you came here all by yourself, instead of sending poor little Viola," Vidia hissed.
"If you do remember yesterday, I did say I wanted to finish this in private." The queen replied.
"Oh, yes, yesterday," the fast-flying fairy rolled her eyes sarcastically. "The day you threatened to banish me of this little hollow."
"I merely warned you of the consequences…" Queen Clarion said calmly.
"…Of reading your little diary? Since when was banishment the punishment for reading a diary?" Vidia hissed.
"Since my reign began reading or taking my personal things has been against the law." Clarion tried to prevent herself or Vidia from becoming provoked.
"I didn't even take it; I found it! But when Tinkerbell "finds" things she gets praise! How does that even make sense?" Vidia yelled, turning her back to Clarion.
"Tinkerbell would return my diary if she found it." Clarion stated. Both fairies knew it was true; Tink would return it. "Just like when she found that statue of a girl. Tinkerbell returned it to the girl on the Mainland as soon as she could." She reminded her of the time Tink first arrived in Pixie Hollow.
"Well, I would've returned it to you if I had a chance to! I've been chasing thistles all season because of her!" Vidia snapped.
"Forgive me if that was the reason why," Ree slowly fluttered over to Vidia's side "But I believe that was not the reason." She placed a hand on Vidia's shoulder. Vidia shivered at the queen's touch, mainly because nobody ever made contact with her so she wasn't use to it.
"Whatever," Vidia mumbled, although Clarion still heard. "Here, I don't have any use for it anyway." She hissed as pulled the diary out of her jacket and handed it to Queen Clarion.
"I trust you will keep this between me and you?" Clarion held the golden book close to her.
"On one condition," Vidia smirked.
"What would that be?" Ree replied, slightly afraid of the answer. Vidia turned to the queen, revealing her smirk.
"You win in a race against me."
Race time!
*blows whistle*
Yay! By the way, the idea came from 'black cat':
'And what will happen vidia challenges for a race,2 ree! Oh that will be nice and probably vidia wud shut up after losing up to queen! No other ways can shut her up!(queen in a purple fast flying costume OMG!)'
