Fairytales : Friendship

Chapter 2 : The Mistake

And so they rested and chatted together on the grass until their leaf watch strikes 6.

"Aaww, it's already sunset. Why can't the time stop moving?" Crystal whined.

"I know.. Well, I guess it's time to say goodbye. See you tomorrow Crystal!" Sparkle replied.

Unfortunately they forgot that both of them are different. Crystal hugged Sparkle and in a blink, Sparkle disappeared along with Dash. Crystal shrieked in shock.

Crystal realised that she and Sparkle have made a horrible-terrible-fatal mistake. She remembered that water fairies and fire fairies weren't suppose to touch each other, not even a single touch. And if they do, the fire fairy who got touched will disappear as fire lost against water.

Crystal's hand turned as cold as ice and her face was shocked as if she had just got striked by a lightning. She didn't know what else to do.

She went home with a desperate face. She kept on thinking what to do to get her friend back while Collin was still confused by what had happened to his master. Suddenly, Crystal stood and her face lit up which made Collin who was bringing snacks fell to the bed.

"Wazaari chahu! (You startled me!)" Collin said in his language which only water fairies could understand.

"I have an idea Collin! I'll tell you the first thing in the morning cause I'm tired now," Crystal yawned and laid herself to the bed.

The next thing Collin knew was Crystal snoring in her bed. He then flew back to his bed and fell asleep.

The next day, Crystal woke up and stretched her body and wings.

"Collin, it's time to wake up!" Crystal said as she shook her little bluedew pet.

"Rara zu rara zu!" (I'm up I'm up!) Collin said.

Crystal quickly put her dress on, grabbed her blue basket and flew off as her bluedew puffball followed her.

"Collin, I finally got my holiday for 2 months! Now all we need to do is to get Sparkle and Dash back!" Crystal said excitedly.

"Wacttt??" (What???) Collin raised his eyebrow.

Crystal sighed and told everything about yesterday to Collin as he listened to her with full attention. When he knew that Crystal made Dash and Sparkle disappeared he quickly jumped off the bed and panicked.

"Wact gagadushu?" (What should we do?) Collin panicked.

"Follow me, I'll show you." Crystal took off with Collin and flew as fast as they could. Collin had a hard time to keep up with her. Not long, they arrived at The Faibrary, libraries for fairies. At first Collin was a bit confused why she brought them there but he just followed. Crystal quickly flew to find the book section for 'Missing Things'.

"Wing Section, Animals Section, Food Section, Missing Things Section AHA!" Crystal said in delight.

She flew to the missing things section to find the book for missing fairies but she couldn't find one so she flew back home with disappointment.

"Hi Clare," Crystal sighed.

"What's wrong Crys?" Claire asked.

"Well, promise me you won't tell mom what I did?" Crystal said.

"You played with that fire fairy again didn't you?" Claire asked.

"Actually, it's even worse than you thought," Crystal replied. Claire crossed her arms together preparing for the worst sentence to come out of her sister's mouth.

"Well, yesterday I played with Sparkle and when we were about to go home we hugged each other." Crystal blinked her eyes as tears went down her cheek.

"What?! You hugged each other? You know that water fairies aren't suppose to-" But before Claire could finish her sentence Crystal replied "I know Claire, I know that the border is to protect us but it's already done." Crystal said.

Claire sighed. "Okay so what happened next?" Claire asked.

"Sparkle and her puffball disappeared at once and now I'm trying to figure out how to get them back," Crystal said.

"Have you tried looking for book?" Claire asked.

"Yes," Crystal answered.

"Are you sure?" Claire asked again.

"I'm pretty sure I tried every single way Claire," Crystal said in desperate.

"Well, I guess there's only one way left," Claire looked into Crystal's eyes. "Ask the witches for directions."

"The witches of Dauntidia?!" Crystal gasped. "Claire you're a genius!" Crystal's excited face suddenly turned into a sad looking girl as if she just lost her hope.

Claire knew what she was thinking. "You're worrying about mom catches you going there don't you?" Claire gave her a warm hug. "Don't worry about it, I'll cover it for you."

"Thanks Claire, you're the best sister ever." Crystal's face was wet with tears. "I'll leave by sundown."

"Be careful Crys!" Claire said as Crystal left to pack her things in her room.

By sunset, Crystal left her house with Collin and flew off to Dauntidia. That day was so windy that the wind pushed them backwards. They kept on trying until Collin fainted.

"Collin, wake up!" Crystal shouted in the middle of the wind breeze. "I think we should rest for a while." She looked for a nice, cozy place to stay for the night and spotted a cave nearby. She thought it would be the perfect place for the night. So she carried Collin to the cave and rested for the night.

The next morning, she felt something wet on her face which was actually Collin waking her up. As she opened and rubbed her sleepy eyes, she gasped.

"Collin, hurry! After we eat, we should be going to Dauntidia. And if we're fast enough, we may reach there by tomorrow!" Crystal said with a big smile plastered on her face.

"Wuzee wuzeedoo! (What are we waiting for? Let's go!)" Collin said.
