"Disney Cafe ..." Rosetta read the sign to herself, as she hovered in the air. The place wasn't exactly fairy-friendly, by the looks of it. It was full of humans, with all their big and interesting things.
"Well, maybe if I order something small," Rosetta said, hoping that she could find something to eat. "Now if only I could open that door."
The door was much too big and heavy for a fairy to open. Maybe I'll just wait for someone else to open it, and I can just fly right in! Rosetta decided, and patiently waited for somebody to come.
15 minutes later, Rosetta was still waiting. Only one person had come so far, and Rosetta had almost gotten squished in the process. "Ugh, and my wings are getting tired," she moaned.
She looked around the outside, trying to see if there was anywhere else she could get in. And then she saw it ... an open window! Rosetta facepalmed at her own ignorance, and flitted through.
"Oh dear!" Rosetta shrilled as she went inside, her jaw dropping. All the plants! They were dying! "Oh no. This just won't do," Rosetta said, folding her arms. She had some work to do!

Vidia was soaring high up in the air above the Walt Disney Resort, relaxing in her usual way by speeding through the open sky. She changed direction in an instant, swooping down into a steep dive and enjoying the rush as the ground came closer and closer, before she righted herself at the last moment and began to soar upwards. However a sight hit the corner of her eye that caught her interest, a fairy had just flown in to that open window. She’d spotted it too late to see who it was, she only noticed the last trailing remnants of pixie dust still hovering in the air for a moment.
The fast-flying fairy changed course, sweeping around in a wide arc and through the window herself. She was in the Disney Café, and spotted the other fairy in the room within moments. It was Rosetta, a garden fairy who was one of the few other fairies that Vidia did not have a problem with, for although she would never admit it she admired the fairy’s artistic sensibilities. Of course there was the problem of her being friends with Tinker Brat, but Vidia had a tendency to ignore the Tinker fairies at most times so could work around it.
She nodded in greeting, settling on a windowsill as she watched the garden fairy, noting with some amusement her distress over the plant's condition. The urge to help nature was an instinct that even Vidia couldn't resist when she saw something that needed her attention.

"Plants, plants. Now where would I find some? Some petunias would look lovely in here. Or maybe some primroses!"
Rosetta wanted the plants in the Cafe to look their absolute best. She had forgotten all about being hungry! Well, I'm not going to find any living plants in here, she thought, and quickly flew out the window in search for some flowers and bulbs. But before she could get outside, somebody caught her eye.
"Vidia?" Rosetta exclaimed in surprise.
Rosetta didn't exactly hold much against Vidia, though her feelings were mixed. Rumor has it, that Vidia was the one who started Tinker Bell's sprinting thistle accident. Rosetta wasn't sure, but Vidia could have been the one who almost ruined spring.

"In person,” replied Vidia calmly, before pausing for a moment to recall the last time she’d seen Rosetta. It had been just after her role in the sprinting thistle incident was revealed, which was especially frustrating because she had been punished for it and Tinker Brat had not.
“Okay sweetie, I think you may have gotten to wrong impression of me,” she began, detecting the uncertain tone in the garden fairy’s voice, “Just want to clarify, that thing with the thistles, totally not my fault. It’s not like I forced her to go after them!” She paused; realizing how strained her story sounded. “She almost got me eaten by an eagle!” Vidia winced involuntarily at the embarrassing memory of that particular incident.
“One of my talents should not be punished for playing one practical joke.”

Rosetta wrinkled her nose at Vidia's comments. So she did do it! Rosetta folded her arms with a half-dumbfounded, half-ready-for-lecture face.
"Well, I don't know if that was the right kind of practical joke to be playing on somebody," Rosetta said.
Sure, she enjoyed a laugh as much as the next fairy, but when something as dangerous as a band of sprinting thistles was involved, that was a little too much. She could tell that Vidia really took pride in her talent, of course. Maybe she just felt threatened by Tinker Bell.
"And besides, I'm sure Tinker Bell didn't mean to get you eaten by an eagle now, did she? I mean, you turned out alright. And she apologized, didn't she?"
Rosetta's attention once again turned to the poor dying plants. She had to do something!
"Now, if you don't mind -- I have some flowers to save."
As quickly as she could, she flitted outside, and found a leaf of the ground. Rosetta wasn't much of a tinker, obviously, and fashioned a rather pathetic looking megaphone out of the leaf. Well, that'll have to do for now, she thought, shrugging. She was made for gardening, after all.
Flying back inside, she yelled through the "megaphone", making sure the Cafe could hear her.
"Attention! I'm here to save your flowers! Do not despair!"

Vidia rolled her eyes at Rosetta’s lecture, turning her nose up at the criticism. She’d forgotten how opinionated the garden-fairy could be when a subject caught her attention.
“All I did was suggest she catch the thistles after you,” she twisted one hand to point in Rosetta’s direction, “refused to even give her a chance.” She smirked, raising one eyebrow as she spoke. “I may be wrong sunshine, but I can hardly be blamed for her leaping onto a mouse and actually trying it.” She left out her sabotage of Tinker Bell’s attempts, glossing over that particular detail as Rosetta mentioned Tink apologizing after the eagle incident.
“Oh yes…” she twisted her face into a mock-cheerful expression as she performed a half decent impression of Tinker Bell, “ooh I’m soo sorry I almost got you killed Vidia, let’s be best friends. Tra la la…” her face returned to her usual imperious expression. “Somehow sapling I don’t think that quite works.” The fast-flying fairy watched with some curiosity as Rosetta flitted out of the window for a moment and returned with a hand-crafted megaphone which she used to try and get the café patrons’ attention. Vidia frowned, noticing how Tinker fairies were clearly a bad influence on people.
“Wow you sure are getting their attention,” stated Vidia sarcastically as the customers barely responded to the barely amplified voice, “Do you really have to tell them before you help the flowers?”

{Got permission from Rosetta to join =D}
Downtown was bustling with packs of tourists, and all Wendy Darling needed was an empty room to escape the madness. But sure, Wendy was familiar with these daily crowds, for the city of London's streets were just as busy. Not even Bloomsbury was this chaotic! Perhaps that was why Wendy actually appreciated the quiet street.
Not a single guest could be found in the Disney Cafe, so perhaps this ought to be her trainstop for the time now. Hopefully when the crowds would ease away, she'd be liberated to walk freely. She patiently set herself down on an idle table, hands clasped together as her darling blue eyes scattered for an occurence. "Attention! I'm here to save your flowers! Do not despair!" A hallow voice emitted somewhere in the cafe, as if the person was not present. There were only two visitors, just the child and another stranger. But there was no one occupying the counter at the moment. It appeared that business was running slow today.
But something very tiny caught her attention. Among an open window were two miniature figures. The child stepped out of her seat, slowly making her way to the odd sight. Vidia! The dark-haired fast-flying fairy was here once more, and gradually Wendy began to disapprove of the childish fiend. But there was another miniature figure, clad in pink petals. She too had wings! She had to be another fairy! "Another fairy! I am so fortunate to spot yet another! Was that you speaking? I could hear your voice from across the room."

"Oh don't be such a weeping willow, Vidia!" Rosetta said, while trying to think how she could make some improvements in the Cafe. She was growing quite tired of Vidia's behavior. She seemed to be just a little too pessimistic.
Rosetta was about to fly back out to gather some seeds, when she heard another's voice. Is she talking to me? Rosetta wondered. It was clear that she had met Vidia beofre, so she must have been referring to Rosetta!
Rosetta turned to look at the girl belonging to the voice. Her face ... looked so familiar. Rosetta had never seen too many humans, but this one seemed to ring a bell. Those auburn curls, and the color of her dress -- it all seemed to be familiar. But where had she seen her before? Humans never came to Pixie Hollow!
"Oh, hi there buttercup!" Rosetta said. "See -- somebody heard me," she added slyly to Vidia.
"Why yes, I am a fairy!" She said with a giggle. "Now," she put a finger to her chin in thought. "You look so familiar. What's your name -- no, wait! It'll come to me! Um, is it ... Beatrice? No, no, that's not it. Erm, Katy?"

The two fairies appeared to be bickering as the fairy dressed in rose petals spat back at Vidia. Perhaps they were no where near starting a friendship. At least Vidia was a girl even Wendy wouldn't wish to befriend for her impudent, foul temper. But Penny, another girl Wendy was fairyly acquainted with, actually took a tentative liking for the fast-flyer. Thankfully Vidia was not the violent, irritable girl who liked to pull hair or murder humans. Well, for now at least..
The petalled-dress fairy turned her attention to the delighted Wendy, calling her 'buttercup.' She raised an eyebrow at the name, finding it rather distaseful. It made her sound... like a weak flower waiting for someone to stomp on it. "Oh, I've always believed in you marvelous fairies! Your work is spectacular! London in spring is just simply gorgeous!" The flowers in the gardens blossomed to such rich colors, and the ponds would ripple in the most oustanding shades of clear silver.
Beatrice? Katy? The fairy was trying to figure out her name. Did fairies even know the names of children? She stated that Wendy was clearly familiar, but Wendy couldn't recall to ever seeing this one. Suppose this fairy spotted the child several years ago when she was out playing in Kensington Gardens? (featured in the first Tinkerbell trailer). "I'm afraid none of those are my names. I'm Wendy, from London. You might have found me playing in Kensington Gardens."

"Wendy Darlin', huh?" Rosetta thought for a moment. The name "Wendy" sure did ring a bell. But Rosetta still couldn't place it. She knew she hadn't seen her in Kensington Park -- she'd never seen a human there before. "Huh. Well, I'm sure it'll come," she said.
Wendy herself seemed to be quite a nice girl. It was nice to have somebody appreciate her handiwork, too! All the practice Rosetta put into it -- making sure that the flowers were bloomed to their brightest, and that the grass was greened to perfection. It ain't easy being a garden fairy, you know.
Rosetta put a hand to her chest in flattery. "Well, that is what I do! I'm a garden fairy!" Rosetta giggled. "It's nice to know that somebody does believe in us! And personally, I love London in the spring too!"
Rosetta's eyes wandered again to the poor unfortunate plants. "My only problem now is these poor things," she said, motioning to the dying flowers and trees. "You wouldn't want to be any help would you? I have a feeling that somebody over there isn't as enthusicastic," she said, in referral to the pessimistic Vidia.

Vidia watched with no real interest as the girl she’d met recently who’d been to Neverland approached and crossed over to talk to the two fairies. The air-fairy had been fairly interested in how she’d gotten to Neverland in the first place, but having since discovered that technically Tinker Brat hadn’t done anything wrong she had lost interest in the girl’s adventure.
“Fine, one person,” began Vidia in mock-defeat as Rosetta shot a comment slyly to her half way through her conversation, “guess I stand corrected sunshine.” She scoffed, turning her nose up slightly as she gazed out of the window and, with a flick of the wrist that conjured a breeze, lazily steered a falling petal back into the air and around into a spin. One ear pricked up involuntarily as Wendy mentioned having met several fairies other then Tinker Brat before, however she said nothing until Rosetta directly referred to her again.
“Listen sweetie, I’m all for helping nature and all that,” she clicked her fingers and the petal soared away over the park on a powerful gust, “but face it. These flowers are dead. If you put new flowers here, the humans are just going to kill them too.” She sprang into the air, wings snapping open to allow her to flit over to Rosetta and place one hand on her hip. “So you’d be better to grow the flowers outside, where they’ll live. Or are you now a café fairy rather then a garden fairy.”

After a moment's pause, Wendy figured the fairy was not able to recall her name. She slightly frowned at the mention of it. Perhaps "Wendy" wasn't an easy name to remember, especially when one was serving thousands of children. Not even Vidia could remember who she was during their first encounter.
The fairy was quite flattered at Wendy's compliment, stating that she was a garden fairy. The child figured most of the springtime's work was hers. "So it's you that makes those pretty flowers bloom? You've got quite a talent there!" she exclaimed. Before the garden fairy appeared to be dreadful, still dark plants, and the look on her face seemed like she was concerned for them. The garden fairy asked if Wendy could be of some assistance, but the child frowned rather helplessly. "I'm afraid I don't possess any kind of magic.. " Unless.. if Wendy was needed to fulfill the duties of a human's tasks for plants.. that might just do.
Vidia remained an outsider during the conversation between the child and the garden fairy, deciding to clear out some dead petals with her gusts of wind. Wendy tilted her head to get a decent look of this fairy's talent. Was she quite powerful! Not even Tinkerbell could perform such an outstanding talent! Despite Vidia's willingness to clear out these petals for the sake of Rosetta's, she wasn't at all very encouraging, nor was she very thrilled to save them. She took a fairyly negative stand in the situation. "Oh, but I'm sure if we tend to them reguarly, they'll still manage to live through the harsh seasons." The child didn't mean to intrude on the conversation, nor take a specific side of who to support. Shouldn't she be... practical?

In this case, any help was good help! Those poor flowers were getting worse by the minute! Maybe I should make some signs, Rosetta pondered. Maybe they should say 'Water Flowers Please', or something really catchy. That way, Rosetta could rest assured that the humans were taking good care of the plants.
"Well, you don't need any magic, sugar! Just as long as you know how to garden, I'd love for some help!" She said to the young girl. Now, she was on the right track!
Rosetta then flew over to the cynical Vidia. "Are you sure you don't want to help, too? We could use a fast flyer like you!"
Rosetta had to admit, that Vidia's talent was certainly rare. It was almost lucky - though Rosetta loved being a garden fairy more than anything, it must also be nice to get where you're going more quickly. And of course, it would be oh so conveinient. [/size]

Vidia smirked as Rosetta approached her once again, smirking as the garden-fairy admitted to needing her help. She giggled silently, placing one hand on her hip as she raised one eyebrow and replied.
“Well I can see how you’d need one of my talents,” stated the air-fairy smugly, “so futile as this is I suppose I have no choice but to help, it’s not like you could get anywhere without me.” She half turned to face Wendy for a moment, gesturing towards her with one hand. “Though I doubt the human will be much help, they’re the ones who’re killing nature.” She looked at the girl in disgust for a moment, wrinkling her nose. It often vexed Vidia that fairies were so dependent on humans for survival, for without humans no new fairies would be born.
“I said it before, but I think the best way to save these flowers is to take them outside,” she glared scathingly at the other café patrons, “it’s not like they’ll change their habits because you ask.”

Wendy couldn't recall to the last time she ever gardened her Bloomsbury backyard. There was no grass, only clean-cut bushes trimming the borders. Her main responsibilities were to watch for her brothers, with Nana offering all the help a dog could contribute. The Darlings had enough money to hire gardeners to tend to the bushes anyway.
"I could possibly try, but I'm afraid I can't guarantee any satisfying results.." she offered rather tentatively. "Shall water do first?" Not a trace of water was seen anywere inside. The place was just as dry and dead as the worn plants. Maybe outside, a water fountain might just do..
The fast-flying fairy was here to help as well, but Vidia doubted Wendy would be of any essential assistance. The child resisted the urge to shoot an ungrateful glare at the fairy's crude remark. Why do you even bother to help us humans if you resent us so much? She turned away from the fairy, chin up, with a look of dignity. The hot-tempered fairy then proposed that they remove these plants and transport them to outside. "Pardon me, but wouldn't that be considered stealing one's property?" she asked, rather skeptical of the proposal..
