...Last night about the Minister of Spring and Pixie Hollow 🧚🏻✨🪻🌱🌼🌷🌿

I was a part of a research group full of people who were doing something in vast terrain. Maybe we went to the nature only for a walk, who knows. What's important was the fact that we went to a forest. And after a while we reached crossroads in that forest. One road was quite normal, leading to a regular human world, but in the second part of the forest, fairies were flying, laughter was heard, gentle bells were echoing underneath the trees...

"Look!" I shouted at the group. "There are fairies!" But they ignored me, they didn't even turned their heads, they just followed blindfoldedly the normal path.

I left them be. And went straight to the pixie world. The more to the depth I walked, the more I understood - I was at the Spring Valley! The same place where Tinkerbell messed up the preparations for spring!

The first fairy I met and whom I saw in bright colours was Rosetta. She was collecting some berries and when she noticed me, she immediately smiled at me. Then I blurry saw Iridessa. I got a positive response from all of them, they immediately got some work for me and told me that I should found some elder fairy who fed plants with biscuits. Literally.

But I had other plans. I quickly got to the elder fairy (she looked like Fairy Mary but with ginger hair, little curvier and taller, dressed in vanilla-beige colour), she wasn't very nice, she was vulgar towards me, actually. 😂

But I didn't care. My aim was to find the Minister of Spring. I flew (yes, I somehow gained wings) to the Springtime Square in order to find him but there were soooo many fairies I could barely see.

I was lucky. He was there. I found him. He didn't wear his pompous ministerial robe but he was dressed up very modestly. Simple T-shirt made of dry brownish leafs, leather belt and simple beige bermudas. He had a sack - it almost looked like if he were collecting rubbish - but I somehow knew that there are some seeds in it which had to be delivered somewhere.

He took off. I didn't have the chance to say anything to him, but I had wings so I jumped in the air and followed him. He was as fast as Bugatti Chiron. 🤣 We were zigzagging around the trees. It was a race!

Finally - I left him behind and was ahead of him. I turned over and he smiled at me! It was a tiny and mild smile but of such a kindness. I noticed closely how skinny he actually was. His cheekbones were visible on his pale face.

I stopped him. And for some reason we went to the closest tree on the road and hid into its shadows. And then we hugged each other.

We were just standing there - the same heights - in a close hug, absorbing each others physical bodies. It was such a realistic situation, such a vivid dream, it felt as if I were really there. I didn't remember how long this scene actually took, but to me it felt like eternity. He fitted perfectly into my arms. We didn't share a word. Silence embroidering the feeling. I remember how I was leaning on the tree with my back, holding him in my arms. My head rested on his left shoulder (from his perspective) and I could literally smell his scent in the dream! He smelled sweetly, like flowers, but not necessarily like hyacinths, it was a sweeter scent, more like a rose or a cherry blossom. I felt his skin, he had very soft skin on his shoulders and neck. And I also felt his hair. They were sooo realistic, breeze was playing with some of his loosened strands. I didn't really touch his hair so I cannot say how it felt like.

Some fairies interrupted us. And then the scene was cut. And after a while I was flying and found myself on the Springtime Square. Again, there were so many fairies. Too many fairies. And not only fairies but also Barbie princesses! I saw Alexa from the Diamond Castle and Aramina from Three Musketeers, then some Genevieve's sisters from the 12 Dancing Princesses... And of course, Tink's pixie squad and the other seasonal ministers and Queen Clarion. Everyone was dressed up so formally, they wore beautiful gowns as if there were some special event going on. Where is Hyacinth, where is Hyacinth, was my only thought. I was flying towards them and I spotted Hyacinth in the first row, standing next to Queen Clarion.

I broke through the crowd whilst everyone was whispering about me and casting not so friendly gazes at me. What bad could I do that they behaved like this? I understood they were gossiping about me. But why?

I finally approached Hyacinth. He wore his lavish ministerial robe, sleeveless, in deep royal blue, dark purple and bright spring green colours shining on his leaf crown. And all of his gown was sparkling.

For some reason, I asked him for a dance and offered him my hand. He wasn't smiling. Actually, his mimics seemed emotionless, but he gave me his hand and our palms alligned.

I led him to the ballroom when Johann Strauss started playing. I couldn't remember which of his wondrous kaiserwaltzes it was, but I just knew it was his music! It felt like something between An der schönen blauen Donau and Frühlingsstimmen.

The most important thing was that I was swaying in the rhythm of Viennese waltz with Hyacinth. We danced perfectly to the rhythm and everyone was watching us. We were the only couple dancing so it was a solo. The other guests were blurred, the only thing I remembered was how I led Hyacinth on the dance floor and how I felt the soft skin of his shoulders again...
