Butterflies In The Stomach

Just a what if couple I thought was interesting.

(This will reference all three of the Fairytopia movies. I left the ending open to anyone's interpretation.)

It started when he got a scroll from a babbling puffball. A scroll from Azura to help out the wingless fairy and to go quickly. He obliged. After all an order from Azura was to be followed through. And thus started one of the the most extraordinary adventures of his life. Especially with a group of people who he never expected to be traveling with at all. Including one extraordinary fairy.

Elina.

The wingless fairy that no one expected to be the catalyst of Laverna's plans. The savior of all Fairytopia. The one whom stopped the evil and rescued them all. In the end returning peace and gaining what she wanted most im the world. To fly. However he still remembered their interactions. Their small interactions with one another.

"Thank you, Hue. Thank you for showing me what it's like to fly!"

He was her first flying experience. Possibly the only time she's ever flown before. He didn't think of that at the time only doing his job as Azura had asked of him. But now, at this moment, it held special to him. He didn't know how or why it started. Perhaps it was after he'd gotten very sick. He'd ingested some of the sickness Laverna poisoned the air with and had gotten incredibly weak as a result. Elina noticed making him land for his own good. He insisted on going to protect her. It was his job! He was supposed to take her where she wanted to go and keep her safe. But I'm the end she was the one who went and he was forced to rest. But not before she kissed his cheek. Perhaps that's when all these feelings started. The fuzzy feeling in his chest and warmth in his cheeks. And when she declared that she'd be confronting Laverna he couldn't just let her go alone.

"I'm coming too! Because y'know.... It's my job."

It all worked out for everyone in the end Laverna was defeated and Elina was gifted wings by the Enchantress. That was almost a year ago behind him now and he has been put on an extensive order for a break from any work along with anyone else affected by the sickness in order to ensure a full recovery as ordered by the Guardians and the Enchantress. He was so happy when he was FINALLY given the ok to start working and especially flying for long periods of time again. And the first place on his stopping list was Azura. Surely she'd be able to help him figure out what complicated emotions were going on in his body. It's just a good thing he lived a few branches away from her in Fairytown. The blue flowers everywhere filled the air with a sweet perfumed scent as he flapped his wings and waved through the branches of the flowers until reaching a very familiar fairy house. He stopped just in front of the door inhaling the nerves away as he just walked up to the door and knocked. In all honesty he wasn't even sure if she was going to be home. After all she WAS a guardian and she had very important business to take care of. With one last sigh his hand reached out and loudly knocked. There he then waited. Perhaps she really wasn't- He jumped when the door opened and a very familiar blue haired fairy flew there smiling at him.

"Hue. What a pleasant surprise. I haven't seen you in ages," she happily greeted him before backing away and gesturing at him to come in, "Won't you come in?"

"Oh. Um. *ahem* Yes. Thank you!" He was so tall he had to duck just to enter the home and his wings tucked away further to drag behind him. Ah. Her home looked as beautifully decorated with plenty flowers. "I do hope I'm not intruding on anything." He turned as the door closed.

"Would you like anything to drink? I have some wonderful dandelion tea and it tastes wonderful with some buttercup milk and honey."

"Um..Sure. Thank you." It would be better to accept to be a polite guest.

She waved a hand and an entire giant tray carrying a tea set floated down from no where in blue sparkles. "Now what brings you here on this fine day?" She set a out making him a cup as soon as the floating tea set stopped in front of her. "Have you been recovering well?"

"Huh? Oh yes! I've been given a full recovery! Thank you for asking!" He cleared his throat again and tried not to be nervous. "I just... though it would be a good idea to report to you personally that I'm going back to work!" He nodded and blinked as a tiny cup was held out to him. "Oh..T-Thank you ." He slowly took it from her.

"It's good to hear that you're well again. It'll be good to have you around again."

He slowly nodded. "Um...There was another reason as to why I came here now that you brought it up!" She turned to him with a smile as he sputtered. "Um...Well it's complicated..I just...E-ELINA!! I heard you visited her lately. *ahem*" He strained a smile. "H-H-How is she doing?"

Azura rose a brow but still smiled. "She's perfectly fine. I was just congratulating her on a job well done for saving Fairytopia once again from Laverna's evilness."

"PFFT?!" He choked on his drink and nearly spat tea all over Azura whom just continued smiling. After coughing a little bit he stared back at her in disbelief. "I-I beg your pardon?!"

"Oh yes. I don't think you've heard about it yet since most of it happened in an entirely different kingdom. Why don't you just get yourself another cup of tea and I'll tell you all about it?"

And she did. The entire thing. From the poison in the coast they had to clean out, to the newfound thankfulness the Mermaidia royal family had to the Fairy people for Elina's great service, to how Elina helped to save all of Fairytopia once again with the help of a mermaid named Nori and the mermaid Prince Nalu to keep Laverna from getting the Immunity Berry in her clutches. To the Enchantress adding another condition to Laverna's banishment. If she left the Bogs of the Hinterlands, she'll become a real toad forever. That should detour her a bit more. Although his mood soured a bit remembering that Merman. Oh yes. He remembered Nalu. The merman he met briefly about a year ago at the coast while being chased by fire birds. He rubbed him the wrong way but...he didn't understand why? He should have more regard considering that it was a prince he was thinking about but..He didn't like the way he interacted with Elina. Again he didn't know why. He was clearly within his right to treat her nicely and he never saw Nalu be rude to her in anyway so why would he not like that?

"Hmph. Yes. I'm sure Prince Nalu would send for Elina," he said a little annoyed sipping on that tea with a frown. Although he didn't know why. Azura just rose a brow at him. "She is the hero of Fairytopia after all and is more than capable of helping him."

She hummed. "You seem to dislike the idea of Elina helping Prince Nalu, Hue."

"Of course not. I'm not upset. Why would I be upset with Prince Nalu needing her help? The important thing is that everyone is safe and sound and Laverna is defeated still."

"I agree. And I look forward to attending Prince Nalu's wedding next year."

Hue froze. Blinking big purple eyes at her. "... Wedding? Prince Nalu? What wedding?"

"Why Prince Nalu's wedding to his fiance Nori. She was the one who helped Elina save his life." She rose a brow still smiling knowingly as he sighed in relief. "He was kind enough to invite all the Guardians and the Enchantress. Who did you think he was marrying?"

"I-...N-No one. I was just shocked is all. *ahem" W-Well then. It seems I have stayed long enough." He stood up clearing his throat and placing the cup down. "T-Thank you for the tea. I-It was good seeing you again. I should be going on my usual patrolls now. Take care, Ma'am."

And he left. He should really. Azura was rather busy getting ready to usher in the first blush of spring with the other guardians and their apprentices and Ms. Azura hadn't picked out a personal apprentice herself. Months passed by and the new blush of Spring came and went delivering the first rainbow of the new year when the new year came in those few months. He did try to forget about it but his mind always revolved around Elina. Her smile. Her laughter. Her kindness and soft nature. The kiss she gave his cheek- He tried to shake it off so much. But it always came back. He felt relief when he knew she was not the one Prince Nalu was marrying and that she was alright. And the blush's first rainbow only reminded him of the rainbow in her eyes and how special she was. He didn't understand why at first but even he couldn't be blind forever. The realization hit him while flying one day. Nearly made him run into a tree from shock.

He had feelings.

For Elina.

Nononono!! This couldn't be happening! ..But it was. Hue had gotten himself hopelessly, utterly lost in a crush. Sigh. Oh well. There really wasn't anything he could do about it other than wait till it passes. In the meantime he should really see Azura again. Word was that the Guardians were recovering from being infected by toad venom. While he heard she would be alright, he still wanted to go and make sure she was alright. He arrived at the home and knocked on the door. Someone yelled at him to come in and he obliged opening the door and ducking through the doorway. He found said Guardian relaxing in a lounge chair and reading. Azura looked...pale, with bags under her tired eyes. Just like someone who was sick. But still she smiled at him.

"Hue. What a nice surprise," she greeted with a smile. "It's been awhile. How are you these days?"

"Me? What about you? I heard you were sick and came to check on your well-being. You look pale."

"Oh I'll be fine. The doctors already assured everyone that we'll be fine in a month or two. Already we're able to fly again without any problems but they insist on us resting as much as possible."

"Good choice. But what happened?! I only heard that Laverna returned AGAIN and you were poisoned by toad venom!"

"Come in and have a seat. I'll tell you all that happened. I could use some company that isn't a book anyways."

He obliged and she did tell him. Everything. From Azura choosing Elina as her apprentice (no brains that would happen), to all their training, to Laverna tricking Elina into releasing her and deceiving everyone with disguises (THAT EVIL WOMAN), how ten years of winter almost came, and how Elina and the other apprentices once again saved Fairytopia. And once again he was shocked at just how amazing she was.

"But... She's alright isn't she? E-Elina?" He looked worried.

Azura only smiled knowingly. "Of course she is. She's home right now."

He sighed relieved before nodding. "Of course. ..I would expect as much." He then nodded. "Well then. That clears up that. I'm only glad things once again worked out for us all. If there is anything I can do for you while you recover-"

"Actually. There is." She smiled and waved a hand. He blinked as paper and a pencil flew over to her in a swarm of blue sparkles. He watched as she grabbed them, wrote something on the paper, before rolling it up, and holding it out to him. "I want this message to be taken to Elina." He perked up. Elina?! "Would you deliver it for me?"

He blinked for a moment before lighting up and taking the scroll. "Of course! Magic Meadow is only a few hours away from Fairytown! I'll be there and back before the day's over!" And he'll be able to see Elina again! "I'll get right to it! You can count on me, Azura!" He immediately turned to leave.

Azura only smiled waving him good bye. "I know you will, Hue. Safe flying now."

He was taking off within seconds. Flying through the sky and quickly towards the Magic Meadow. Towards her. Towards Elina. The blue flowers of Fairytown flew by underneath him before they slowly became a darkened woods within two hours, then another hour passed and they turned into a lush green wide open field filled with giant flowers, and lush grass and many other people flying around him. Fairies and Pixies. There was quite a lot in the Magic Meadow. The Guardian Topaz really had her work cut out for her. He waved at a few of them as he flapped past descending to the ground and towards that one flower he knows Elina lives in. It felt like just yesterday he was here and flew with her as she first got her wings nearly two years ago now. Ah. There it was. He was quick to land and fold his wings down as he immediately stood up and looked around. Yes. This was the place, and this was the flower. Now all he had to do was find Elina. His heart was pumping in his chest at the thought.

"E-Elina?," he called out placing a hand on the giant flower. No answer. Perhaps she wasn't home? He knocked on the petal louder. "Elina?! Are you home?!"

"Hue?" He froze at the soft kind voice. That's her! "Is that you?"

"Elina!" He quickly turned with a smile..but blinked at what he saw. It was her alright. Hair as golden as sunshine. Eyes blue as sky. Smile bright. But she looked so.. different than he'd last seen her. Her wardrobe changed from than pale pink dress to a dark magenta one with the bust striped with all the colors of the rainbow. Her wing..Oh her wings were VERY different. They were once a pale pink when she first got them back then but now they looked to be made of stained glass. They were completely clear and see through as the edges but gradiated into rainbow colors near where they met her back...He blinked as she landed. "Elina? You look so... different. Ah! B-But a good different! You look amazing!"

She smiled as she landed and held out her arms in a hug. "Thank you! Hue!" He froze as she hugged him. "It's been so long!" She then pulled away to smile up at him. "What are you doing here?"

"Um.." He cleared his throat and hoped she didn't see the red on his face. "I came to visit you of course!"

"Prrrrata! Bibble adacca peemba!"

He blinked now noticing the pouting puffball companion. Oh right. He nearly forgot about him for a moment. "Oh. And you of course." The puffball smiled in satisfaction as Hue looked up at the giant flower. "*ahem* And that must be Peony. Azura told me all about her. She's a rather beautiful flower."

Elina tilted her head to the plant, and seemed to listen to something he couldn't hear. "She says thank you. How is Azura? I haven't had time to visit her yet."

"She's doing well. Should be recovered fully soon enough. Oh! That reminds me!" He held out the scroll to her. "The reason why I'm here. She wanted me to deliver this message to you."

"A message?" She slowly took the scroll from him.

"Yes..So how was the apprenticeship? Azura told me you did well."

"Oh fine. I met so many new people. London's even helping me learn to speak actual toad, in case Laverna returns again. He's an oread after all."

He paused at the mention of the man. "Oh...So you..met someone."

"I met lots of someones. Lyndon's a good friend. We've been writing letters since he's been busy with Lumina." She opened the message as he again sighed in relief. Oh. They're just friends. Elina read the message. ..Then blinked. Then exchanged looks with her puffball before both looked up at him confused."Um. Hue. Is there something else you need to tell me?"

Now he looked confused. "No. Why?"

Her answer was to hand him back the open scroll and he took it confused but froze once he read what Azura wrote.

'Ask Hue about his feelings towards you. I believe you two should have a talk.'

"Hue. Is there anything you need to say?"

He opened his mouth and looked panicked between the scroll and her many times... before guilty lowering his arms and antennas. And sighed. "Yes. There is something else."

"What is it? You can tell me."

"I think... I've fallen for you."

There was silence between the two of them for a long moment before he blinked as a hand took his and purple eyes widened in surprise at her.

"Hue. I think we do need to have a talk "
