(Terence x reader)

Growing

(Y/N)'s POV:
I can't believe how fast time seems to be going. I can't believe it's only been a year now. Everyone has been preparing for spring. We are currently busy growing acorns for the Tinker fairies to carve into  acorn buckets to store flower paint.

I love how through our jobs we are all connected somehow. It brings me so much pride to call myself a nature fairy. I try my best to help everyone out.

I push myself to the limit every time I grow acorns. Every time I grow more and more than the previous attempt.

"I just love how we can take it easy now that we have (Y/N) around! I can finally hang out with my girls again!" One of the older girls says

"I KNOW! I actually have time to read my favorite novel now that we get to go home earlier." Another cheers

I try my best to fit in. And it seems to be working, I've slowly started making more friends and meeting new fairies from different talents.

Most days I spend my free time with my girls, Tinkerbell, Rosetta, Iridessa, Fawn, and Silvermist.

When I'm at Rosetta's place we usually gossip about what's hot at the moment. Or we go shopping and get new clothes to try on, we put on little fashion shows together.

With Fawn, we spend time with the squirrels and mice as I help her finish her errands for the day. We chat about new events and share fond memories together now.

Iridessa is warm and welcoming to all. Though she tents to worry about lot about keeping everything in order and following the rules. Nevertheless, she's an amazing light fairy and always accepts my requests to see her work.

Silvermist has a go with the flow personality. She can charm even the most stubborn dew drop. She's sweet and sympathetic and knows just how to lend a helping hand whenever I need it.

When I'm with Tink, I always watch in awe as she works away at a new invention. The first ever invention she showed me was the day after my arrival. It was a spray painting contraption. It helped many of the painting talent fairies paint their ladybugs faster and more efficiently.

My jaw was on the floor, but to the others it seemed like a regular occurrence.

By now I'm used to it as well. Though I can't help but gawk at her new designs here and then.

Bobble and Clank always seem to be close behind Tink as well. So I chat with them and try and help when I can as well.

"Hey (Y/N) whacha doing today?" Clank asks me

"Nothing much, I just finished my gardening for today, so I came to say hello!"

"You're always so talented (Y/N)" bobble sighs dreamingly.

He's so funny, he always makes me smile when he compliments me like that.

"Oh bobble! Ever the charmer I see" I giggle

He has zero flirting skills, but I love how honest he is with me. He's one of the few fairies I cherish most. He never makes me feel inferior or talks bad about the other fairies. He's also a hard worker.

Last time I heard Clank and Tink whispering about setting us up on a date the other day, and to be quite honest, I wouldn't mind it either.

I say my goodbyes to them as I remembered I made plans with some of the other Gardening fairies as well planned to meet up by the Pixie Dust tree. I start thinking about how far I've come, and how Rosetta and I have grown to be best friends, I've been making a ton of progress in my talent development. I can still remember Rosetta's reaction to my talent. It's a memory I'll always treasure.

Flashback*
I was picking up some pixie dust in the early morning before I headed off to the garden. I wanted to practice my technique on growing tulips, just like Rosetta did, but for some reason I couldn't master it. I always ended up planting different varieties of flowers instead. Everyone admires my work, and they tell me that not everyone can grow every single flower. Some take YEARS to grow more than one kind at a time. Yet I could do that without thinking.

Everyone always has such high expectations about me now. I feel like I can't mess up, or else I might lose their confidence in me. And now with Springtime approaching we garden fairies will be needed more than ever to keep the balance of spring.

"We get to apply our artistic sensibility" as Rosetta put it.

We were at Spring Meadow when she decided to teach me to grow small vines first.

"Alright honey, first you're going to want to think of the vines you want to grow, then feel the earth beneath you. Imagine how it would look when the vines grow, and then... do it"

It sounds good enough to me. I do just as she tells me. Except, I didn't just grow vines. I grew a whole field of poppies and peonies.

Rosetta was star struck, the look on her face was priceless. She said she's never seen a garden fairy grow more than a few baby vines on their first attempt! She was so proud of me, she hugged me with pure joy and congratulated me.

*End of Flashback*

I can do all of these amazing things, but the one flower, the one plant I want to grow... I can't...
I don't want to ask any of the other Garden fairies for help either because they look up to ME now. They always ask ME for help. I always help, but now I feel like I can't ask for help, it just feels overwhelming to be the teacher, when I just only started learning not to long ago.

I've been talking to Tinkerbell a lot about it. She keeps telling me to talk to Terence. She tells me that she always feels better after talking with him about her problems.

I'm starting to believe what she says and so I decide to take a slight detour and head over to the Dust keepers area. Only, I can't seem to find Terence anywhere. I start thinking that maybe I should head back but I over hear some fairies talking.

"Did you hear?"

"Yeah I did! Not only that! Turns out she can't grow tulips!"

"HA! Serves her right for thinking she can outshine the rest of us like that"

"I KNOW! she's always telling US how to do it, but like, didn't she just get here like yesterday!? Who does she think she is?"

I can't even process what I heard. I take a few steps back and my foot steps on some of the pixie dust that's fallen from above.

I feel hopeless. I thought I was making progress when in reality, I've been making others feel horrible.

Maybe I don't deserve to be a garden fairy if im making the others feel this way.

I should probably try switching talents or something so that the others can teach me rather than me teach them...
