A New Old Tradition

Tinkerbell was fixing a kettle for Dulcie when she heard the news.

"Tink, Tinkerbell? Open up Dewdrop!"

"Sil, its open just come in" Tink said laughingly.

"Did you hear? Queen Clarion wants all the faries to come to the pixie dust tree, when the sun sets! I wonder why? Oh I hope it's good news, I can't stand bad news" Said Silvermist so fast it was kind of all running together.

Tink had heard, everyone had heard for Viola came to each and every one of them telling them to come at sunset – not even pausing enough for questions. Tink wondered if Terence knew what was going on, he did live in the Pixie Dust tree…

Whilst Tink was contemplating this Silvermist was still babbling, when suddenly she said "-Maybe we should ask Terence?" On hearing this Tink blushed, for she had just thought the same.

"Yeah, sure, of course- what a good idea. I have just finished his spoon" she said pointing to a spoon in the corner of the room. Tink cringed as she said that, she had finished the spoon almost as soon as she got it putting it above all her work (even Ree's silver comb!).

"Ok, Grab that spoon and lets go!" Sil said grabbing Tinks wrist and pulling her to the door, Tink quickly grabbed the spoon with her free hand and followed.

They had just left Tinkers nook when they ran into Fawn.

"Fly with you Tink, Fly with you Sil"

"Fly with you fawn!" they chanted back.

"Do you know what's going on? Everyone is in a buzz about it! So I went to see Terence…" Tink visibly Drooped on hearing this, now I can't go see him, she thought then caught sight of the spoon in her hand and smiled.

"So he said, all cryptic like, Ree is bringing an old tradition back, I have no idea what he meant – I mean we haven't lost any traditions have we?"

"I can't think of any, what about you Tink?" Hearing her name knocked her out of her world and into the real one.

"Huh, no can't think of any, you Fawn?" Silvermist and Fawn exchanged glances then burst out laughing, causing Tink to turn to her usual shade of Red.

"What's so funny?" They burst into more laughs. "fine I am leaving any way!"

"Say hi to Terence" Tink turned round quickly, startled.

"How did you know I—?" They both pointed to the spoon she was waving around, clutching onto like her life depended on it.

Tinkerbell had cooled down by the time she got to the Pixie dust tree, She was composing herself before going to find Terence when she felt some one grab her by the waist and push her down wards. At first she screamed, the realising it was Terence she started to Laugh.

"Where you been Tink? I have been waiting on that spoon since yesterday morning." He tried to act serious but his eyes were sparkling with laughter.

"You do know you are not my only customer, right?" She teased.

"Yeah But I am the smartest…" Yes You are "…The handsomest…" Definitely "and I am your best friend" My best FRIEND! With this he grabbed the spoon from her hand, his fingers touched her grip and she dropped the spoon.

"Tink I can't wait until Sunset! I just know you are…" He stopped, almost revealing too much (about what was going to happen and his feelings).

"I am going to what Terence"

"…"

"I am going to what?" She was starting to get nervous he was staring directly at her, not blinking, Have I got twigs in my hair again? He could see she was getting jittery.

"You're going to love it" He said it so surely she knew she would, even if it was only to please him.

"Tink, do you want to go with me? To the meeting?" Before he even finished speaking Tink blurted "Yes!" and flew out quickly before she Turned red.
