Clarion was checking in at tinkersnook. "Hi, your majestyness!" Bobble waved at her. Clarion flew over and smiled at him. "Hello dear, how are your inventions going," Clarion asked him.

"Spectacular if i do say so myself! Me and Clank made a new and improved pulley system!" Bobble proudly stated. Clarion smiled warmly and said, "Thats spectacular! Well done." Bobble smiled at her and was going to start talking when fairy Mary interrupted.

"Queen Clarion! I didn't know you would be checking in!" Mary exclaimed. "I haven't been here in a few days, it was about time i flew in," Clarion stated to Mary. Bobble felt tension in the air. Without saying a word he flew off.

"Clarion, don't be that way," Mary grabbed her hand and dragged her into a private area. "Mary, I have been fine, why did you drag me here?" Clarion asked. "Ree! Stop lying. If you keep lying i will chop your wings off," Mary put her hands over her mouth as she finished that sentence.

Clarion was taken back a bit. Her fake smiled faded completely. She looked hurt. It was only a week ago since the incident. "Ree! I'm so sorry! That was so insensitive!" Mary apologized feeling horrible. "It's fine. Okay? Don't give it another thought." Clarion told her.

"I will be going though, I have to be other places," Clarion lied to Mary. "Yes. Of course, goodbye your highness," Mary politely said. Mary felt terrible. Clarion flew off. Mary moved on and completely forgot about what she said. She started yelling at laucinda for not working.

Clarion flew to her room. A few tears rolled down her face. She quickly wiped them off. "Clarion, you're the queen of pixie hallow, you're stronger than this!" she thought to herself. She looked at the clock and noticed she had a meeting in 10 minutes. Her eyes were red. She quickly dried them and made herself look presentable.

Clarion arrived to the meeting room and sat down in her chair. The ministers were already seated. They all noticed Mary and Clarion weren't talking. Usually every meeting they had to shush them. "Okay, we need to discuss....the....um...." Redleaf started. "Oh out with it!" Mary pushed. "We need to make a border crossing rule," Hyacinth stated plainly.

Clarions heart felt like it shattered into a million more pieces. She managed to keep her face calm and collected. "After last weeks incident, I think we all know it has to be done," he continued. Clarion didn't say anything at all. She kept her head held high and looked at the minister while he was talking.

"Why!? We don't need it!" Mary argued. "Yes we do! The Lord of winter broke his last week! No fairy should cross. For no reason at all! No reason is good enough to risk your wings!" Hyacinth boldly stated. "He saved my life," Clarion told him. That's all she was going to manage to say in the moment.

Hyacinth leaned back in his chair and looked embarrassed. Although, I don't agree with all you just said Minister, I do agree with how he shouldn't have crossed. Even if he did save my life...." Clarion calmly told them. "Ree, you can't be serious!" Mary yelled. Everyones eyes grew wide. They all knew those two were best friends. Mary always was respectful though.

"I am. What happened last week was horrible. It was my fault. And even though it was my fault, I still don't feel we need to border crossing rule," Clarion told them all. "Your highness, I think we need the rule. It's dangerous for fairies, if this happened to you and Lord Milori out of all fairies it will happen to more."

Clarion was left speechless. "I as the minister of spring want the rule. As does the minister of summer."
"Excuse me, you all agree to make the rule?!"
"Yes, we don't need your vote either. All the head talent fairies agree."
"By the second star! You asked the talent heads also?!"
. "Yes, we didn't give the situation out at all. We simply asked if they thought it would be safer,"
"Is Milori informed of this?!"
. "No."
"It seems pretty perplexing how you can make a rule having to do with Winter without informing the Lord of Winter!"
"It's all legal. We must inform him 1 week prior till the rule is placed."
"You really think Milori will stand for this!?"
"That's Lord Milori and he will have to stand for it. It's not like he can fly."

Clarions mouth was left open at his last sentence, everyones was. Clarion could tell any moment she was going to snap. "I am not for the rule. Not one part of me is. Even if this all is my fault." Clarion flew out of the room. The ministers were all in silence."

"Do you have no brains! Clarion just had to end things with him a week ago! A week! They were together for 3 years! You decide to bring this all up at this moment!? And Hyacinth, we all understand you love her! But move on! You want to break her even more, so you get a chance!? Well congratulations! She probably hates you after this!" Mary ranted and yelled at them. Mary angrily flew out of the room to her house.

"Fairy Mary is correct, Minister of spring. What you said was way over the line."
"M-maybe so. We already signed the papers. No taking it back now," he told them.

The ministers went silent and all flew there separate ways. The next month Queen Clarion and Lord Milori tried to find every loophole to get the rule taken down. There wasn't one. Eventually they gave up. They accepted the fact that the ministers would win. They accepted the fact that they would always love eachothers but would not be together.
