There he was, lying down on his flowery bed as he stares at the ceiling. He had finally stopped crying as he wiped away his tears. He takes deep breath then he slowly exhales, rethinking everything in his life. As he held back from crying yet again, he heard a knock at the doors.

"Smg4? Are you there?" It was his sister Tari, knocking at the door, worried about her brother.

When he returned earlier, she was excited to help him get ready but it soon turned into worry as she heard him softly sob. Before she could have asked what happened, he hid himself in his room where nobody could disturb him.

"Hey sis..." As Smg4 opened the door, Tari was greeted with a sad sight as she saw her brother upset on the day that is supposed to be his happiest day ever.

"What's wrong?"

"I don't wanna talk about it..."As he closes his door, Tari tries to get through to him.

" B-But wait! What about the wedding?"

" Tell dad, the wedding is canceled..."

"Wait! The wedding is cancelled??? Why what happened-"

As Tari kept asking questions, her voice faded into the background as the young prince start to walk back into the depths of his room. Soon the voice was gone, bringing him back to his sorrows.

As he sat by the vanity, he looked at his reflection, like he thought there was something wrong with him. What did he do wrong? He tried to be as happy as he can be and loved the her so....

He heard that familiar "EUGH" as they snuggled close to him for comfort. He appreciated the gesture, but it wasn't enough.

As the young blue fairy stood up, he thought to himself .

How could she....I thought....

He had promised her a perfect life, a happy life. One where they could live happily ever after just like in the stories told. They could've had it all. But she played him for her own self gain.

He looked out the window, watching the beautiful scenery. He finally decided that he needs to move on, he needs to make a change for himself and he decided that love was just complicated for someone like him.

He had decided he would NEVER fall in love again.

He spreads his wings and flew out of the window as Beeg follows him from behind.

Smg4 spent the most of his days training to be stronger. He would often fly to his special training grounds to be one with the sword, he would learn how to protect himself and every innocent creature, he would learn to control his emotions so that he would never suffer heartbreak again.

As he trained everyday, he got stronger, he got faster and he got smarter. He would often spar against training dummies he made of grass, sliced any small projectiles that Beeg sent his way and he would do it over and over again to get even more stronger.

As he sliced the flying blueberry, his clothes got stained blue and that's when he realized he needs an outfit change, especially when he was starting to smell a bit.

He ordered Beeg to go gather new clothes as he went off to wash himself in a nearby lake.

Later on, he slipped into his new clothes and he added armor to his new look.

He used some blueberries to dye the tips of his hair and as eyeshadow.

He was now ready and different from the sweet innocent blue fairy he was before. He has changed, and that's what he like.

New Rules, New Me

After that he grabbed his sword yet again and went ahead to go scout the land for any intruders. As he was scouting he realized he had not heard from his sister for awhile and shifted his attention on looking for her.

"TARI? TARI? WHERE ARE YOU??"

As the young fairy yells out, looking around. He continues flying around in search of his sister.

As he flies away, a small dwarf steps out of the shadows and onto the rocky surface as they see Smg4 flying away into the distance.

She yells as if she was calling onto someone.

"We're in the clear!"

Another figures reveals themselves as they stood up from the dandelion fields besides the rocky landscape, presenting their tall figure as they grabbed a singular dandelion.

As Tari gently blows on the dandelion, small pieces of them flew up into the sky, embracing the beauty that surrounds her.

The small dwarf Meggy, watches in awe as she enjoys the beautiful sight, in which was Tari. She yearned for the day she would finally confess her love for her, but right now she was interested in someone else, someone who would suit them well. So all the poor little dwarf could do was watch and wait that hopefully one day she cou-

As she was finishing her train of thought, the breeze picked up and the dandelion seeds flew into her face.She coughs and wheezes when she accidentally inhaled some.

The Blue fairy girl rushed over to help and tried to get her to be more quieter, so that her brother wouldn't find them.

"Shhhhhh- are you ok? Here let me help"

She cleared the air around with her wings so that Meggy could breath better.

"Now anyways, whatever happened during that day must have been terrible to the point that he became so overprotective"

"Yeah overprot- *cough* *cough*"

Meggy began to cough out the rest of the seeds as Tari still spoke.

"I mean its kind of nice for him to care a lot about me but it's sometimes it feels awkward for him to just hover around, watching me and being worried for me like- I can't handle myself?"

"But you can take care of yourself!"

The small dwarf cleared her throat and jumped atop one of the rocks nearby so she and Tari could see eye to eye.

"I know! But I'm just worried about him- and what will dad think about this?? What do I do about the spring ball??? Its just so stressful and I don't-"

As the panicking princess goes off on a rant, she stopped when Meggy grabbed her hand and tried to comfort her.

" Shhhhh, just relax Tari. Breathe in , Breathe out"

As Meggy starts to slowly breathe in and out, Tari joins her. After a couple minutes, Tari felt calm again and pulled the small dwarf close for a hug.

"Thanks Meg, you always know what to say."

"Just don't stress out too much, there is nothing to worry about."

She happily enjoys this moment as she was mesmerized by her lovely aura.

While the two were hugging, Tari noticed something bright and pink from the corner of her eye, moving around.

She dropped the small dwarf in shock as soon as she realized what it is.

Meggy, got slightly angry, wondering why they were dropped like that, was about to shout til she saw the look on Tari's face.

"What's wrong Princess?"

"W-Wo-Worry.." She points at the huge creature standing in front of them.

A bright pink Axolotl, licking its lips.

Oh crud
