Thanks to everyone who faved, followed, reviewed or even just read this.

It took me about a month to update this chapter, too meaning that, like in May, I only updated once in June (aauurgh! :( but fortunately my update times should be a lot shorter in the future. So in the last chapter Tink and Peri may have found a way to fix Peri's talent problem and now they're in Neverland.

I think there's some other Frozen/Tinker Bell crossover about Elsa being in Neverland. I purposely have delayed reading the other crossovers in this category until I finish this story; that way I don't have to worry about accidentally using ideas from someone else's story. I read once about how some authors might write a book that they thought was their own ideas, but they found out that they unknowingly used other people's ideas from some story that had inspired them and accidentally plagiarized that author. Maybe I'm being a bit too cautious, but better safe than sorry (than again, Fanfiction is about writing using other people's characters and stuff, so it's not like this story is only my ideas... Ok, whatever. Moving on!)

One last thing: I know that I've said other chapters were hard to write, but this one takes the cake for being the hardest, even though I planned this chapter a while ago. There were a lot of days where I'd try writing this and I'd be unhappy with what was coming out as I was writing it, which was weird. It took forever for me to actually get this chapter out of my head in a way I liked it, if that makes any sense.

Okay enough rambling. On to chapter 12!

Once they were safely in Neverland, Tink and Peri stopped pulling Anna and Elsa and let them try to figure out how to fly on their own. When they'd been flying back in Arendelle, the fairies had pulled the girls along like balloons and hadn't given them more than a couple seconds of free-flying. But now that they were in the wide, open, safe skies of Neverland, the fairies figured they could give the girls free rein. At first, Anna and Elsa just sort of floated upwards and had to be pulled back down by Tink and Peri. Although it hadn't worked in Arendelle, the girls tried kicking the air in an attempt to propel themselves forward.

The flying lesson was cut off for a bit when the warm temperature started to affect Peri- however, she noticed that it didn't prevent her from flying like it used to- then she remembered that Tink had gained the ability to fly in the cold when she'd first been in contact with Elsa, so Peri guessed that she'd gotten the ability to fly in warm weather but hadn't noticed it until now because it had been cold and snowy in Arendelle when she'd met Elsa. Towing the girls along behind, Peri moved so they were over the Winter Woods, because the sky above the Winter Woods matched the chilly temperatures below. Anna and Tink entered the cold too, because it had been getting pretty hot when they were wearing coats in warm weather, and they wanted to be with Peri and Elsa anyway.

They still had plenty of space, because the Winter Woods were large, and only a tiny part of it was inhabited by the winter-fairies. Continuing their flying lesson, the fairies had told the girls not to kick, which left the girls clueless about what to do. After observing the fairies flying, they tried to copy their technique, but all they noticed was the fairies' wings flapping, and Anna and Elsa's ice wings didn't move.

It didn't really help that Elsa and Anna had the ice wings because they affected the way the girls moved through the air. Not to mention, the fairies weren't entirely sure how to instruct the girls on how to fly with immobile ice wings. Tink had seen how Peter Pan flew many times, and decided to teach them that even though their fake wings would probably mess it up. Tink had taken charge of the flying lessons because she had once taught Lizzie Griffiths to fly- it was harder now, though, both because of the wings and Anna. When Tink showed them how to wiggle their shoulders. Elsa patiently watched this (glad that she didn't have to worry about not understanding Tink) before trying it, whereas Anna had excitedly plowed ahead as soon as Tink had mentioned the shoulder wriggling.

Anna's flying had been shaky, at best. She had wriggled her shoulders far too much- actually she had wriggled her entire body like a puppy as she desperately tried to move forward quickly, even though moving forward at all would have been an accomplishment- and had sort of jerked all over the place. "Look at me!" Anna had cried delightedly before dipping down and colliding with the treetops.

Elsa couldn't help it; she giggled as Anna sat in one of the topmost branches of a tree, looking sour. Elsa then attempted flying by wriggling her shoulders- although her flying was by no means smooth, it was a lot better than Anna's because Elsa at least managed to continue going in the same direction.

Elsa had then held Anna's hand in order to slow her down, or in some cases, Anna would speed Elsa up and they'd both crash. Though after a couple crashes Anna learned that going for speed wasn't really the best idea. The flying lesson continued for another half-hour filled with shouts of "Look at me!" By the end of it, Elsa and Anna were mostly able to avoid going in random directions (Elsa was better at this than Anna), though both of them still had trouble stopping. Still, they were passable fliers and wouldn't get in any serious accidents- mostly because they hadn't figured out how to fly that quickly- even Anna couldn't fly faster than she could run.

It occurred to Tink and Peri that they should probably be heading to Pixie Hollow instead of giving their friends flying lessons- after all, they had to ask Queen Clarion and Lord Milori about the wand idea. Not to mention, the other fairies had probably been worried when the fairy twins were trapped in Arendelle, and Tink and Peri weren't actually sure that the others had made it back to Pixie Hollow.

Anna and Elsa were mostly able to follow the fairies, though the did veer of course a bit and would occasionally bump into a treetop. Eventually they descended towards the ground; this was tricky for the two humans because they couldn't slip in between the branches like the fairies could. When they neared the part of the Winter Woods where the winter-fairies lived, Peri whispered to Tink that they might want to keep the girls away from Pixie Hollow, at least until the other fairies were told about them. Most fairies weren't too fond of Clumsies.

After finding a nice spot away from Pixie Hollow, with enough trees crowded together that the other fairies were unlikely to notice the girls hiding among them, Tink and Peri told Anna and Elsa to wait there. Elsa didn't even have time to ask for a translation before Anna blurted out "Why do we have to wait? Why can't we come with you?"

Tink and Peri exchanged looks, knowing that it wouldn't be a good idea to mention Pixie Hollow, because they knew the girls would want to see it, and telling them about it would just make them protest waiting even more, and most likely they would ignore the fairies and go looking for it. It would probably be better if Elsa and Anna just thought there was nothing but woods and snow, like in Arendelle. Peri started a snowball fight, just to get the girls involved in something so they hopefully wouldn't wander off due to boredom when the fairy twins were gone.

The fairies flew away, frequently checking to make sure that Elsa and Anna were not following them. At first, the children continued to throw snow at each other, oblivious to the fact that the fairies had even left. Once they noticed their companions were missing, however, Anna and Elsa stared at them from between the trees. For a brief moment, it had seemed like the girls were going to ignore what the fairies had said and follow them, but they shuffled back into the trees when they noticed the fairies watching them.

Tink and Peri flew on to the inhabited part of the Winter Woods. A scout-talent must have noticed them coming, because when they arrived, there was already a group of relieved fairies (both warm-weather and cold-weather fairies) who were glad to see the fairy twins again, alive and well. Tink and Peri were welcomed back by several members of the fairy community, and several more expressed their relief that the fairy twins were safe. Rosetta even apologized for what she'd said to Peri, though the fairy twins weren't quite ready to forgive her yet.

Peri and Tink made their way through the crowd, politely answering those who spoke to them, though the twins tried to rush it, having eyes for only two people. Queen Clarion and Lord Milori hovered in the back of the crowd, smiling at their charges who had made it back from a blizzard in Arendelle. Tink and Peri finally made their way through the crowd to the two fairy rulers and, after bowing respectfully, asked "Can we talk to you? In private."

Wondering what the fairy twins had to say, the Queen Clarion and Lord Milori nodded and told the crowd to disperse. Peri had a deja vu moment as she flew into the rulers' home with Lord Milori's hand on her shoulder, even though last time it had been in a tent and Tink and Queen Clarion hadn't been there.

Queen Clarion and Lord Milori shared a home that was over the border between the Winter Woods and the warmer part of Pixie Hollow, just like they had at the fairy camp in Arendelle. Their home was large enough to cross the stream between the two sections, though the stream was only a couple feet across. Half of the structure was made of ice and snow, and the other half was made from common fairy materials like sticks and leaves.

The four fairies settled into the cold part of the rulers' home since Tink and Queen Clarion were dressed for the cold anyway (Queen Clarion was wearing one of Lord Milori's owl feather cloaks). Tink and Peri settled onto a sofa and felt a bit awkward because it was much too big- Queen Clarion and Lord Milori were about eight inches tall, whereas all the other fairies were five inches, because for some reason, the rulers had gotten larger when they'd become the leaders. As soon as they sat down, Peri blurted out without an introduction "We need a wand."

There was about a half minute of silence after that statement. The two fairy rulers looked quizzically at her, while Tink was thinking that mentioning the wand probably wasn't the best start. Lord Milori leaned back, folded his arms across his chest, and prompted "Start from the beginning"

Tink and Peri then commenced to explain what happened to them in Arendelle. Peri and Tink took about five minutes to give a brief but adequate summary of their day. As they told their story, they watched Queen Clarion's and Lord Milori's faces to figure out what they were thinking, but the rulers' faces were inscrutable.

"You brought the girls here?" Lord Milori asked when they'd finished, sounding slightly severe. Tink immediately became defensive and said "So what? Peter's brought people to Neverland. Besides, we need them here if we want to fix Peri's talent problem."

Lord Milori looked as if he were about to retort, but Queen Clarion took over. "There's nothing wrong with being incomplete, Peri." She said, kneeling down so she could look the frost-fairy in the eyes. "It's not that." Peri replied. "Then what is it?" Queen Clarion inquired.

"If I don't have a talent, what would I do with my life? I'd be useless to the fairy community!" Peri exclaimed. Tink chimed in with "I wouldn't think you were useless even if you were in a coma." earning a thankful smile from her sister.

"See?" said Queen Clarion, smiling "you wouldn't be considered useless." Protesting, Peri said "But I'd feel useless without a talent- and bored"

"The problem is.. we don't actually have the wand." Lord Milori piped up. "So who does?" Peri asked, hoping that whoever had it might lend it to them. "Kyto has it- we had to give it to him for his hoard so he'd fix Mother Dove's egg."

Tink and Peri slowly turned to look at each other, realizing that they'd forgotten that important detail. Kyto was the last living thing that would lend them a wand. It would certainly make things a lot harder.

"Maybe we could steal it from him." Peri offered after a bit. The rulers opened their mouths to shoot that suggestion down, but Tink hurriedly said "That might actually be possible. But we'd need plan it so nobody is likely to get hurt."

"We could try distracting him by giving him something else for his hoard!" Peri said, sounding excited that her idea might actually work. Tink added "If we got Vidia to steal the wand from him, he wouldn't attack because he's got a crush on her." Peri giggled after she heard this last bit; she thought it was hilarious that a dragon could be in love with a fairy.

Calming down, Peri inquired "What would we give him for his hoard, though? It would have to be something he'd like, because we need to keep him distracted." Tink cast her mind around for some sort of object. Eventually she started thinking of the moonstone she'd once broken, and that led her to the Mirror of Incanta.

The Mirror of Incanta was legendary to fairies- it was a mirror that would grant three wishes, like a genie. Tink had found it once when trying to fix the moonstone she'd broken, but that was when two of the wishes had already been used up. Tink had then accidentally used the third wish on getting Blaze the firefly to be quiet for a minute. Pretty much, the mirror had then become an ordinary mirror, because all three wishes had been spent.

When Tink mentioned the mirror to the others, Peri, having heard the story from Tink once, pointed out that it was just a pretty mirror and Kyto probably wouldn't like it. Tink smiled and replied "Kyto doesn't have to know that, though. We can let him think there are a couple wishes left."

Anna was bored out of her mind. She didn't get why Tinker Bell and Periwinkle didn't want her and Elsa to come with them. So here they were, waiting for the fairies for inexplicable reasons. Would they even come back?

Once Elsa had noticed that the fairies were leaving, she hadn't been much fun. She'd quit their snowball fight and when Anna had thrown a snowball at her anyway to get her back in the game, she'd just used her powers to knock it away. Anna was annoyed when her sister ignored her completely and began flick her fingers around, shooting out small bursts of snow with her magic, which had mostly replenished with the Pixie Dust. Elsa didn't think there was any harm with using her magic here; it was already snowing, so it wasn't like Arendelle where she could accidentally change the season to winter; and it wasn't like in their castle, where she'd get trouble if there were puddles of water on the floor.

Anna wriggled on to Elsa's lap, but Elsa was so absorbed with what she was doing that she didn't give the slightest indication that she'd noticed Anna. Instead, she increased what she was doing with her powers, making a small snow tornado whirl around them.

Then she started to sing softly. It was almost inaudible over the wind from the mini snow tornado, but Anna thought she heard Elsa sing "Let it go, let it go, can't hold me back anymore..."

Elsa then abruptly stopped what she was doing, and, as her snow fell towards the ground, voiced what Anna was thinking, "I wish they let us come along with them." Anna was in the middle of agreeing when Elsa shushed her and pointed to a spot where she'd seen movement.

Roaming a little bit away from the trees was a wildcat, which was actually Dewey's lynx, but the girls didn't know that. They stared at it, unsure of what to do. Anna had recently learned that wild cats could be dangerous, and she whispered that they should get away.

"But Tinker Bell and Periwinkle said we should wait here." Elsa pointed out, although she really did want to get away from it. "Yes, but those things are really dangerous. Look, we'll leave a note." There was an awkward pause as Anna remembered she didn't know how to write, so she asked "Can you write it?" Kneeling down, Elsa traced the words large cat attack in the snow. Okay, so it wasn't exactly an attack, but...

Anna suddenly tugged Elsa's arm. Looking up, Elsa noticed the lynx was staring at them from its position right outside their small clump of trees. Not knowing that it would encourage the lynx to chase them, Elsa and Anna ran. The lynx bounded after them.

The lynx was steadily gaining on them, and it didn't help that Elsa and Anna were tired and had already run a lot in the past fifteen hours or so. The lynx was only a yard or so behind them and the princesses were still slowing down.

Just when they thought they were doomed, they reached a stream. The other side of the stream looked as if it was summer, but the side they were on was all wintery. Anna started to veer away, but Elsa pulled her and began to run across the ice, her magic creating an ice bridge over the non-frozen part.

They expected the lynx to be snapping at their heels, but when they turned around it was still in the winter part, staring at them. It could have easily gone across Elsa's ice bridge, but it seemed unable or unwilling to venture into the warm section. Instead, it turned and stalked away into the distance.

Meanwhile, Anna was pulling off her mittens and hat and stuffing them in her coat pocket. She then removed her coat, and sighed contentedly once she was no longer was stuck inside a hot winter coat in summery weather. The ice wings Elsa made didn't melt, which put a grin on both Anna's and Elsa's faces. They certainly wanted to keep them.

Even though they knew they should probably stay put, the princesses' curiosity got the better of them and they began to explore the woods around them, Anna dragging her coat along by the sleeve. Both of them were too interested in seeing all the new things around them that it didn't occur to them that exploring the woods was how they'd gotten lost in the woods surrounding Arendelle in the first place.

Following the stream, the Elsa and Anna oohed and aahed over the various things they passed. Multicolored mushrooms, bizarre plants, bugs with human-like eyes that surprisingly didn't look as creepy as one would think, and countless butterflies all caused endless fascination for the girls. That is, until they saw what was in front of them.

They were in a clearing, no longer surrounded by trees, and in front Anna and Elsa were was a tiny fence made of sticks- a fairy-sized fence only a couple inches tall. Inside the fenced off part were mice running around, wearing tiny bells around their necks (Cheese the mouse was among them). A barn that was about as big as Elsa's toy dollhouse back home was by the fenced off part. There was a tiny little dirt path running through the grass, leading to other fenced-off areas, some including scurrying thistles with prickly legs (another Neverland-exclusive species).

Instinctively, Anna and Elsa knew this place involved fairies, just as they had with the fairy-chariot back in Arendelle. On their hands and knees, the princesses crawled around, gazing at everything and getting their faces as close as they dared to the thistles as they tried not to crush anything.

Anna let the mice run over her hand, their bells ringing in a way that sounded a bit like fairy bells. This was overshadowed by the real fairy bells she heard (they weren't words, they were just meaningless bell sounds fairies sometimes made and were a lower pitch than fairy speech). Looking up, Anna saw a fairy floating above them. The fairy had curly hair and wore a green hat.

"Hello," Anna greeted, and the fairy responded with another "Hello!" Elsa gasped and happily shouted "I can understand you! It's not just bells!" The fairy smiled and answered "Of course! All children can understand me, no matter what language they speak, as long as they believe in fairies. I'm Prilla by the way. And you are...?"

"I'm Elsa and this is my sister Anna." Elsa introduced, curtseying. Prilla turned a cartwheel in midair and said "So how come you're here instead of on the mainland?" Before Elsa or Anna could ask what a mainland was, Prilla abruptly blurted "Nice wings! Well, gotta go. Bye!" before her eyes became glassy and she blinked away, disappearing into thin air and appearing somewhere else.

After a couple moments of stunned silence, Elsa said "I liked her. I knew what she was saying, Anna!" She wanted to go on about how much she enjoyed it, but Anna got up and started to run. She'd spotted a glowing ball of light. Another fairy!

"Wait!" Anna shouted and chased after the fairy. Elsa caught up to her little sister and grabbed her hand to avoid getting separated again, and joined Anna in chasing the fairy.

The fairy's glow helped them follow it, but it went a lot faster than the mouse they'd chased in the morning. Or, they thought it was a fairy... they just saw a glowing orb of light because it was going so fast. Elsa hoped they weren't chasing a firefly or something.

Running through these woods was a lot more pleasant than in Arendelle. There weren't as many hills and the trees were generally more spaced apart. Still, Elsa and Anna ran out of energy pretty quickly, and ended up just walking in the direction that they'd last seen the light go.

They eventually came across more fairy artifacts. The girls stopped, delighted, and stared at them. They were so amazing. There was a tiny fairy cart, and Anna couldn't resist pushing it around, like a toy. There were a couple small buildings, which looked so much cooler than their dollhouse.

They passed some tiny sheds and some hot air balloons just the right size for a fairy (though they were really filled with Pixie Dust, not hot air).

They came across other things that looked as if they had been dropped in a hurry, including rolled up leaves and some stones, and followed these to Pixie Hollow, right by the border again. Tink and Peri were waiting for them, having heard from Prilla that two Clumsies were wandering around. Not to mention, a whole crowd of fairies had come flying back here worrying about getting trampled by the girls. When Anna and Elsa approached the fairies, Elsa looked a bit nervous seeing their displeased expressions, while Anna happily called out "Hi Tinker Bell! Hi Periwinkle!"

"Why weren't you waiting in those trees?" Tink demanded, her hands on her hips, forgetting that only one of them knew what she said (Elsa did get the general idea though, just from her expression). Unfazed, Anna replied "We did wait there. But then a big cat tried to eat us. He was all 'grrrrr!' and we were like 'AAAAAAH! Run!' and then "Whoa!". So we ran and now we're here." Elsa nodded as Anna talked and mimed it out in the air. Even though they were exaggerating a little bit, it certainly didn't seem to Elsa or Anna like an exaggeration.

Tink sort of wanted to chew the girls out a bit, but she realized it wasn't really her place to do that. After all, just because she was more mature than them didn't mean she should have power over them. Besides, lecturing Elsa would feel a bit odd, because she was technically responsible for Tink's existence, not to mention that they were all just friends (and sisters) and shouldn't really chew each other out anyways. Peri thankfully talked instead of Tink, and said "You could have gotten hurt by something else. Or lost." She let that sink in for a bit, emphasizing the lost part because the girls had already had one bad experience with getting lost, and they wanted to avoid another.

Peri grinned and said "Well, I'm just glad you two are safe." She then flew over to where Dewey's lynx stood and landed on his back, snuggling up against him. "Oh, by the way, this guy was trained by fairies." She smirked at the Elsa and Anna's shocked faces as the lynx just contentedly settled down in the snow, treating Peri like an old friend, which she was. "He's completely harmless."

Anna sat on a large floating platform shaped like a snowflake, swinging her legs off the edge of it. Next to her, Elsa was lying on her stomach and trying to read what was written in a tiny, fairy-sized book. She had to use a magnifying lens (one that was actually made out of water, molded into shape by Tink's friend Silvermist, a water talent) in order to see the tiny letters, and deciphering them was even harder. Below them, Tink and Peri flew around, looking at more books that were scattered throughout the room.

They were in the Dewey's library in the Winter Woods, and a few hours had passed since the princesses had run across Tink and Peri in Pixie Hollow. The library was one of the few fairy buildings that Clumsies would be able to fit into- the ceiling was almost eight feet above the ground. It was the only fairy building that a Clumsy would be able to get into, because the entrance was big enough for Clumsy children to crawl through- though there was no way adult Clumsies could have squeezed in the entrance.

Tink was trying to figure out why Anna could understand fairies, while Elsa was trying to read a book about fairies and Peri was trying to find a way to be able to cope in warm weather during their quest to get the Mirror of Incanta, because there was no way she was going to let Tink go on that adventure without her. They had also decided to let Anna and Elsa come along, because they had shown that they were far from helpless in the woods in Arendelle. Vidia had agreed earlier to help steal the wand once they had the Mirror of Incanta.

Tink groaned as she read. She'd been skimming fairy books about Clumsies, and none of them had anything about Clumsies understanding fairies. There were only a handful of books about Clumsies in Dewey's library, which made it likely that they weren't going to find the answer here. Tink flipped back in the book and began to read more thoroughly, hoping she had missed something and would find the answer this time.

Meanwhile, Elsa was struggling with a book about basic fairy knowledge. Turning the pages was next to impossible because the pages weren't even as big as her fingertip, and the whole thing was written in decorative handwriting that looked pretty but wasn't all that easy to make out. Reading it was made even harder because some parts of the book had been chewed out by bookworms.

Peering at the tiny letters on a chewed-up page, Elsa read:

The only way for a fairy to... laugh. The baby's first... journey to Never... dangerous, but also exciting, because the laugh... home in Pixie Hollow. The fairy then finds his or her talent by picking up objects in a ring of toadstools. Whichever object glows the most is that fairy's talent.

"What does it say?" Anna asked curiously. Elsa didn't seem to be listening and just cried out "This book makes no sense! There are too many words missing, and the words that aren't missing are too small and the letters don't even look like normal letters! Why am I even reading this? This whole thing is stupid!" Elsa flung the book at the wall in disgust and went limp, her arms dangling off the edge of the snowflake platform and her face going slack.

Anna stared at her, surprised at her outburst. Normally Anna was the one who would loudly make her feelings known, while Elsa was usually quiet and calm (both because of her personality, and the fact that she had been taking lessons on how to act like a queen for about a year). Anna shrugged, figuring that Elsa was just in a bad mood because the book was hard to read; Elsa was allowed to be grumpy sometimes too, right? Elsa wasn't really that mad at the book, she was just releasing all the negative emotions from earlier that day, and the book just happened to be the target of them.

Tink looked up from the large tome she was reading, a rather dull book about languages that she'd turned to after all the books about Clumsies had turned out to be useless. Flying up to Elsa, she simply looked at the eight-year-old with an expression that asked what's up, even though her outburst had made it clear already.

"That book you gave me didn't help. I still don't know anything about fairies." Elsa desperately wanted to learn about fairies, to see how similar they were to the ones in her fairy tale books that she'd read before bed every night back home (although Anna was curious, too, she had already given up on the fairy books after taking one look at them and realizing she couldn't make heads or tails of the text). Tink and Peri had originally tried to recite some basic fairy knowledge for Elsa and Anna, but Anna had had trouble translating it. So they'd turned to books, but those hadn't helped much either.

Tink cast around for another way to satisfy the girls' curiosity. Glancing around Dewey's library, she drifted off for a bit, remembering when she first met Peri in here. This particular memory helped, because it held the answer to telling Anna and Elsa about fairies.

When Tink had first met Peri, Dewey the librarian had shown them that they were born from the same laugh with a magic three-dimensional holographic movie thing. That would certainly help, though Tink had absolutely no idea how to do that.

She flew over to where Peri and Dewey were browsing the shelves for something useful, and asked Dewey if he could show the girls whatever he'd shown Tink and Peri when they first met. After a couple of minutes of setting up, Dewey announced that he was ready, and the snowflake platform than Anna and Elsa were on began to rise.

Tink and Peri flew up and stood on the platform in between Elsa and Anna. Then the show started. For Tink and Peri, who had already seen it, it was like going back down memory lane to when they were born and to when they'd first met their twin. For Elsa and Anna, it was simply the most amazing thing they'd ever seen- they'd never seen a moving picture before, much less a three dimensional one. A ghostlike holographic figure of baby Elsa in a cradle appeared. A couple snowflakes shot from her hands and she laughed. Tink scribbled that's you onto a piece of parchment and handed it to Elsa, who said "Oh!" softly.

They then watched image of the two unborn fairies float out of Elsa's mouth and along to Neverland before transforming into holographic representations of Tink and Peri. Once the scene was finished, Elsa turned to the real Peri and Tink and asked "So let me get this straight. You came out of my mouth?" Tink nodded, and Elsa looked thunderstruck, and slightly grossed out. She'd realized from the moment she'd met the fairies that they felt like family, and now that she knew that fairies were born from a baby's first laugh, it didn't surprise her that Tink and Peri were her fairies.

But if Tink and Peri were her fairies, why was it that Anna could understand them but she couldn't? The scene of the fairy twins' birth made Elsa recall the night she'd crept into baby Anna's room, though she didn't know why.

"So fairies are born when a baby laughs!" Anna cried out, delighted to have learned this new information. It was so much more interesting than the lessons at the castle. Tink shook her head, because technically it was incorrect. "Nope- just the baby's first laugh." Anna nodded and murmured "I wonder what fairy came out of my laugh."

This comment made something click in Elsa's memory. She remembered gazing at her sister and the promise she'd made that day. Then the snowflakes had fallen on Anna's face, and she'd laughed. Until now, the rest of that night had been a blur in Elsa's memory, but now she recalled what had come out of Anna's mouth. It had looked like a dandelion at the time, but Elsa now knew that it was the beginnings of a fairy, just like she'd seen earlier with the scene of how Tink and Peri had been born. Something had happened, though. In her mind's eye, Elsa saw the fairy float into the fire and burn.

"Anna," Elsa said sadly, "Your fairy died in a fire. I saw it happen when I was little." Anna looked very upset at this, and Elsa pulled her into a hug. Peri and Tink joined the hug to make Anna feel better, but they exchanged glances. Maybe that was why Anna could understand fairies.

That evening, Anna, Elsa, Tink and Peri were situated in another ice castle that Elsa had made. It was set in the Winter Woods, right by the border. Both Anna and Tink were back in their winter clothes. After their discovery in Dewey's library, they'd spent the remainder of the day sitting by the border, with Tink and Anna on the warm side and Peri and Elsa on the cold side, just talking (with Anna translating what the fairies said for Elsa, of course). Queen Clarion and Lord Milori wouldn't let them leave until tomorrow.

It had been a fun day. They'd watched the fish swim in the water (Elsa and Peri sat on the frozen part of the stream- unlike in Arendelle, this ice wouldn't break and send them tumbling into frigid water. So really, Anna had only been a couple feet away from Elsa, and ditto for Tink and Peri) and watching bugs fly around the surface. A couple other fairies (Fawn, Silvermist and Zarina) had stopped by to meet Elsa and Anna, while all the other fairies were still a bit too nervous about the Clumsies. Fawn even recognized Elsa and Anna from when she'd flown over them in Arendelle when the girls had been watching Cheese the mouse, before they'd chased him into the woods. Zarina had also given Tink and Peri more edible Pixie Dust for their journey, fresh from her Pixie Dust Alchemy lab (although they probably wouldn't need it because Neverland had food).

Elsa heard an owl hoot as she started to drift off and wished that she had the Elsa and Anna dolls from back home. She couldn't remember ever spending a night without one of them in her arms. The nap they'd taken before going to Neverland had been different, because it had still been light out. Anna was thinking the same thing, but Elsa voiced this, and Peri fluttered over and settled down against Elsa's chest. Elsa cupped her hand around the frost fairy and smiled. Sure, she would have been a tiny doll, but she was a real fairy and a friend, so Elsa still felt safe despite her small size. It also helped that Anna was snuggled up against to her, with Tink cupped in the five-year-old's hands.

With a small smile on her lips, Elsa drifted off to sleep.

Elsa focused her magic as she stared at Peri. Beside her, Lord Milori was also concentrating on his powers.

Morning had come and Tink and Peri had already picked up Pixie Dust for themselves as well as Anna and Elsa. All of them, even Anna, had slept for about 15 hours, because they had still been tired from their ordeal in Arendelle, and they hadn't slept much there. Today was the day they were going to go to the old pirate shipwreck and retrieve the Mirror of Incanta.

Elsa and Lord Milori were trying to make a small flurry of magic snow that would follow Peri around whenever she was in warm weather and keep her comfortable, so she'd be able to spend a long time in the warmth without endangering herself. The idea was based off the snow machines Tink, Clank, and Bobble had made, although if this worked then they wouldn't have to lug around a machine and a bunch of ice. This hadn't actually been tried before, but Elsa's snow powers were stronger than any fairy's, so maybe they could pull it off.

Tink counted down with her fingers, and Elsa and Lord Milori both focused their powers on the desired result. They failed three times, but on the fourth, Peri flew across the border and a flurry of snow continued to fall on her. It didn't go away, and Peri cheered. At last she could safely visit the warm places in the world, something she'd always dreamed of. She twirled around with Tink before shouting "Let's go find the Mirror of Incanta!"

Yay! I passed 50,000 words! That's five times longer than my second longest story.

I was originally going to have them get the mirror of incanta in this chapter, but I decided to wait until next chapter. I was also going to have a part with the Lost Boys, but I cut that out because it didn't really seem to fit. Also I thought the part of Elsa and Anna exploring Neverland was going to be longer, but I had trouble writing that too :(

In this chapter, I included a reference to another Disney movie (so not the "let it go" thing I did). Feel free to guess what it was If you get it right, I'll mention it in next chapter's author's notes. I'll also reveal the answer next time.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I'm not entirely sure it turned out well- hopefully it did.

I hope I update in a lot less time than it took for this chapter.
