wouldn’t understand her language. “It—is—nice—to—meet—you. I—am—Rosetta. This—is…”
    Vidia rolled her eyes. “Ro, she’s a winter fairy. She’s not from the moon.”
    â€œOh, right,” Rosetta said, embarrassed. Her cheeks flushed. “I’m just so excited.”
    Periwinkle smiled. “It’s great to meet all of you.”
    Silvermist flew in closer. “This is so remarkable!” She looked back and forth between Tinker Bell and Periwinkle. “You two are sisters!”
    Vidia put her arm around Periwinkle. “A little fairy-to-fairy advice,” she whispered. “Tink can be a bit tricky to get along with at times.”
    â€œYeah,” Tinker Bell said sarcastically. “Look who’s talking.”
    â€œWe can’t believe you’re over here,” Fawn chimed in, changing the subject.
    â€œSo are you cold enough?” Iridessa asked.
    Periwinkle did a little spin inside her cone of snow. “It’s perfect,” she said.
    â€œOh, I nearly forgot!” Rosetta exclaimed. “This is for you. It’s called a periwinkle also.” She handed the winter fairy a delicate blue flower.
    â€œThank you. I’ll keep it forever.” Periwinkle said. She waved her hand across the flower, and instantly it was encased in a thin layer of frost.
    The warm-weather fairies were amazed.
    â€œIt’s frost,” Tinker Bell explained. “She and her friends practice in the Frost Forest. You should see it.”
    The fairies continued chattering excitedly. They couldn’t believe Tinker Bell actually had a sister! But as they talked, they didn’t notice Periwinkle’s wings slowly beginning to droop.
    Suddenly, the frost fairy sank to the ground. “I don’t feel so…” she said weakly.
    â€œPeriwinkle!” Tinker Bell cried. She rushed to her sister’s side.
    â€œMy wings,” Periwinkle whispered, frightened. The frost fairy’s wings were beginning to wilt! “I can’t feel them. I think they’re too warm.”
    Bobble looked up at the snowmaker. He was pedaling quickly to keep the snow coming. But he realized that the snowflakes were starting to dwindle.
    â€œIt’s running out of ice!” Clank exclaimed.
    â€œWe have to get her back to the border,” Fawn declared.
    Periwinkle gazed up at Tinker Bell. “What about the queen?” she said in a small voice.
    â€œThere’s no time,” Tinker Bell exclaimed. She turned to Clank and Bobble. “Clank, grab some ice. We’ll wrap her wings.”
    Everyone sprang into action, scraping up fallen snow to surround Peri’s drooping wings. Together, they all pushed the snowmaker toward the border.
    â€œCome on,” Iridessa cried. “We can do this!”
    Bobble pedaled as fast as his legs could go.
    â€œWe’re almost there,” Tinker Bell called out. She turned to Periwinkle. “Not much farther,” she said. But her heart sank when she saw the strained look on Periwinkle’s face. They were running out of time.
    Just as the machine used up the last bit of ice and the snowflakes stopped coming, Tinker Bell and Vidia tumbled with Periwinkle back across the border. The winter fairy fell to the ground the minute they crossed the bridge. She was too weak to even stand.
    Tinker Bell helped unwrap her sister’s wings. When the snow fell away, Tink’s hand flew to her mouth. Instead of being iridescent and sparkling, Periwinkle’s wings were brown and wilted.
    Just then, the fairies caught sight of Lord Milori. He swooped down on his snowy owl and hurried toward the injured frost fairy.
    â€œPlease,” Tinker Bell begged, “can you help her?”
    â€œTink,” Vidia said urgently. It was getting too cold for them. Vidia quickly pulled Tinker Bell back across the border to safety.
    On the winter side, Lord Milori
