Chapter One The Arrival of Kimberly

In the heart of the Home Tree, a pool of golden, glowing Pixie Dust formed in the center of a large, open hall. It was fed by a stream of dust falling from a place higher in the Tree, and across the pond the overflow fell in another stream to the collection hoppers, where it was packaged and distributed by the Dust Keeper Talents.

At the moment, another event had the attention of the fairies who lived there. It was evening, and a dandelion seed, accompanied by the echoing laughter of a baby, had drifted in and settled by the falling stream.

The hall was filled with fairies, grouped by talent, and sitting on branches surrounding the pool. An Arrival was a great occasion, and everybody wanted to see the new Fairy, and find out what their Talent was.

Terrence the Dust Keeper (and best friend to Tinker Bell, the famous Tinker Talent) took a bowl of Dust and poured it over the seed.

In a long familiar, but still wondrous sight, the seed transformed into a Fairy. She was huddled into herself, but after a moment straightened up and looked around.

"H- hello?" she asked, in an uncertain voice, and stood up. She was wearing a short, white, sleeveless dress transformed from the dandelion, and was barefoot. She had thick, rich auburn hair, pale skin, and her eyes were a bright jade.

The fairies surrounding her murmured amongst themselves about the new one, guessing what her Talent would be based on her looks.

Just then a burst of Pixie Dust heralded the arrival of Queen Clarion herself. The new one looked up in wonder, but not fear, as the tall, regal Queen floated down to her. The much-loved ruler of Pixie Hollow was clothed in a long dress that seemed to be made of flowing Pixie Dust, and had wings shaped more like that of a butterfly than the dragonfly-like wings of other fairies. She had brown hair and atop it sat a tiara.

"Born of laughter, clothed in cheer, happiness has brought you here!" she said, a chant nearly as old as Pixie Hollow itself. "Welcome! I trust you found your way all right?"

"Yes, thank you," the new one nodded. There was no hesitation or uncertainty in her voice now, and this caused a new ripple of talk. To show such confidence so quickly, especially in front of the Queen, was very unusual.

"Now let's see about those wings," said Clarion. She slipped behind, gently grasped and raised the new one's wings.

The redhead watched over her shoulder, and studied the unique swirls and whorls embedded in the transparent membrane.

"Give them a try, dear," said Clarion with a smile.

The new one gave a few experimental flaps, then took off, giggling and zipping around the hall before returning to the Queen. Again she showed no uncertainty, nor did she need Clarion's help, unlike most Arrivals.

"Looks like the Fast Fliers have a new member," Tinker Bell whispered to Vidia.

The purple-clad Fairy with long black hair tied in Greek fashion replied with a snort.

Meanwhile, Clarion had summoned mushrooms in the shape of a Fairy circle, and a member of each Talent came forward and placed the symbol of their Guild on one.

A sparrow man with blond hair, brown eyes and freckles caught her eye as he placed a ladle on a mushroom. When he let go it floated in place. He gave her a goofy grin and retreated to his spot.

When the last icon was in place, Clarion said, "These will help you find your Talent and place in Pixie Hollow. Go see which one responds to your presence."

The new one immediately went over to the ladle and reached for it. To the wonder of all it moved away from her! That had never happened before! She reached and got a grasp, but it disintegrated in her hand very rapidly. This caused more talk because normally an icon would crumble away more slowly.

The new Fairy dusted her hands and moved to the next icon, a hammer for the Tinker Talents. At her touch it gave a brief flash of light, but otherwise didn't react. She found she could not move it, either.

Letting go she looked at the Queen for guidance.

"That happens sometimes," Clarion said, smiling, "You have a touch of Tinker Talent, but that is not your main one. Try again."

The next mushroom held a tiny whirlwind, for the Fast Flying Talents. At her touch there was another brief flash of light, but nothing else.

"Well, there goes your competition," Tinker Bell said, and Vidia smirked. "But she has the spark of at least three talents, which is more than you can say."

The fast flier's smirk turned into a glare. "Yeah, and she outdoes you, too."

Tink shrugged. "I'm not as competitive as you, Vidia." She turned her attention back to the unusual Fairy.

It was the same story with each icon as the new Fairy made the rounds. It would glow, but refuse to be moved.

The new one was starting to be upset. She was more than halfway around the circle, and had not found her true calling.

At last she stood before a mushroom holding an icon that was a double pointed spear made from a porcupine quill. This was the symbol of the Scout Talents, an elite group of fairies who protected Pixie Hollow.

When she reached for it, it practically jumped into her hand, it's glow quickly escalating until everyone, even Queen Clarion, had to look away and protect their eyes. When it faded, everyone saw the new Fairy holding it with both hands, a look of joy on her face.

"Congratulations, dear!" said Clarion, drifting over to her, "You have found your Talent. You are a Scout, and will join that guild to help protect the Tree and Pixie Hollow."

"Thank you, Majesty," said the redhead with a bow, handling the spear as if she had done so for years, "I will do my very best for you!"

"I know you will!" nodded the Queen, "But come, before we end the ceremony, let us see if you have any other surprises for us."

The remaining six icons reacted with a brief glow, like the others.

"This is unprecedented," said Clarion, "It seems that you can do anything. Welcome to Pixie Hollow... Kimberly!"

There were loud cheers, and as Clarion left in a burst of dust, the fairies and sparrow men surrounded her, introducing themselves. She felt a bit overwhelmed, but very welcome.

A sound caught her attention, and Kimberly turned to find a sparrow man sprawled on his stomach.

"Are you okay?" she asked, and helped him up. "What happened?

"I tripped, thanks," he replied, "I'm Ronald, a Cooking Talent." He held out a hand and she shook it briefly.

"Oh, you're the one who put the spoon on the mushroom. Nice to meet you! I'm Kimberly. I'm mostly a Scout Talent, but the Queen says I can do anything." she smiled.

"Except cook," he said, without thinking. "Uh, that is, don't worry about it, because I have that covered! I mean, if you ever want lessons, come see me! And... uh... sorry."

She found herself liking this sparrow man already. "No big," she said with a grin. "You're weird, but I like you."

"Excuse me," said a voice, and Ronald found himself pushed aside.

"Hey!" he protested, then saw who it was that did it. "Oh, Nyx, I didn't see it was you." He scooted around until he was behind Kimberly, who merely chuckled.

The newcomer, Kimberly saw, was a bit taller than her, with light brown skin and straight, dark brown hair. Her dark eyes were serious, and the new Fairy could tell she tolerated no nonsense. Her clothes were brown, with striped sleeves and leggings, and an elaborate gold emblem of the Home Tree embroidered on the chest.

"I am Nyx, chief of the Scout Talent Guild. Come with me, and I'll get you settled in your quarters," she said.

"What do I do with this?" Kimberly asked, holding up the spear.

"Keep it. It's yours now," said Nyx, "You'll be trained in how to use it later."

Nyx took off, expecting Kimberly to follow immediately. But instead she turned to Ronald. "I guess I'll see you later," she said.

"Sure, Kim, I'll look forward to it," said Ronald, then looked up. "You'd better go, Nyx is waiting."

"Bye!" said Kimberly, cheerfully, and confidently took off after her Guild Leader.

Two people had not gone to greet Kimberly. They stood together in the back of the hall, watching everything with a baleful glare.

"Hmph, little show off," grumbled the sparrow man. He was a bit taller than the usual, with black hair pulled into a short ponytail, and a scar under his left eye. He was wearing the green of the Tinker Talents, but what set him apart from everyone else was his blue skin.

Bobble and Clank had built a dye-mixing machine for the Tailor Talents, and he thought it could be improved. They rejected his ideas so he "borrowed" it to make the improvements and prove them wrong. Right after he finished it exploded, covering him with permanent blue dye. It would wear off eventually, but not any time soon.

When Bobble and Clank found him, they were glad he had not been hurt, but laughed at the dyed sparrow man. This upset him greatly, because he had a huge ego, and felt he was the greatest Tinker Talent ever. They were not giving him the respect he deserved, and they would pay for it! He would prove he was the best!

"What's wrong, Andrew?" his female companion asked. She was wearing the yellow of the Light Talents, had an olive complexion and very long straight black hair, and intensely emerald eyes.

She was generally disliked by the other Light Talents because she had an attitude, a temper, and was somewhat prone to violence, which was not tolerated. She liked to "borrow" things without asking and keep them, and had been punished more than once for it.

Her Talent had a unique aspect to it. Nobody knew why, but any light she bent was green as it left her hands. If she made a rainbow, it was solid green. There was seemingly no way to correct this, and as green light had few uses, she was rarely given a job and had lots of time on her hands.

She used that time to good effect. She secretly watched the Scouts train, and imitated their moves. This gave her a great advantage when she got into a fight.

She and Andrew had gravitated together, and found they made a good team. Over time they became best friends.

"All those talent-sparks!" he replied, "She thinks she's all that, but she's not." He turned to the outside. "Come, Sherry, we have plans to make."
