Olivia was greeted by a fairy boy who looked no older then she; he had short white hair, deep blue eyes, and the wings of a dragonfly. He seemed to leap onto the petals with her, striking a pose with his hand out for her in a big, playful grin. He was wearing of all things, winter clothes made of leaves and fur.
Hello, my lady. He said. Are you ready to dance the dance of the seasons?
~~~
Peering through the glass once the leaves settled down I was able to, after much hard looking, identify where the playful flower lady had gone. She was dancing upon the petals... and now there was another fairy with her-- a male. I watched them carefully... didn't want to lose sight of them, as tiny as they were.

Helena had ordered herself a salad croissant and a cappuccino, which she took gratefully when they arrived, nibbling on her croissant and sipping at the sweet, frothy coffee. She thanked Finita for the food, watching the Ritual of the Fairy unfold with quiet interest and enjoyment.
Fairies – at least the kind that the florist had become, were such lovely little creatures. They were like living dollies. She loved their pretty clothes and sparkling wings. She wondered if the blue haired little lady would have fairy dust she could use. Helena was curious about just what it could do. After all, in one story it was used to make children fly. But maybe it could do more than that.
Helena pondered on how many different kinds of fairy there were. She had loved to hear the fairy-tales read by her parents when she was younger and she fondly recalled reading those same ones to her younger siblings. Even now, she still enjoyed a good fantasy fiction.
She stood by the glass and observed them, waiting to see what would happen. Helena glanced back towards Cecilia in her tank, wondering if she could see them. She felt sorry for the Siren all of a sudden. It must be very isolating being in that cold, four walled container on wheels. And she had sung so beautifully for them earlier. Tearing her eyes from the windowed scene with some difficulty, she walked back over to the Siren and waved. “Hello again. I was wondering if you can see what’s going on from back here. There's a pair of adorable fairies!” she gestured to the room that held the autumn scene.
Olivia giggled happily! She had no idea there was another fairy here! He was kind of cute too. Taking his hand she happily smiled. "Yay dancing! I love to dance! C'mon let's do it!!" she exclaimed flying off of the flower with him.
What came next was odd, it felt like her body knew what to do. The people watching could see them both twirling around, hopping from flower to flower, in a sort of ballet dance style. As they did the environment around the chamber began to change, and so did Olivia....
As Fall melted into Winter, her dress became one of beautiful white snowflakes, as her hair became white as well. When Winter melted into Spring, her dress changed into a large colorful, and poofy, light green dress. Her hair shortened some and became a darker green. Spring melted into Summer, and her dress changed into a firey red bikini top with a cute firey red skirt to match. Her hair grew long again and changed into a dark orange color.
When they finished it was Fall again, and Olivia's clothing and hair were back to normal. "Oh my I'm tuckered outie out!!" she said sitting on one of the mushrooms catching her breath. "You are a good dancer Sir!!" she giggled and blushed looking up at him.

Sorry about the long wait. I had a post already thought out but it felt a bit cheap... so I'm went all out.

I'm going to leave Helena's question for Cecelia for Lady A to answer once she returns. She should come back tomorrow.

The fairy man smiled and danced alongside her.
And as they danced, the air grew chill. The flowers closed and frost formed on the ground. Clouds formed overhead, and a sprinkling of white flakes started to fall. It coated the ground and the roof of the lab, the trees and the vines, until wintertime had painted a perfect little winter wonderland in the clearing.
~~~
Finita was shivering like mad up above, her arms wrapped around her. She even had ice forming in her fur. But the minotauress was stubborn and wouldn't leave the roof. So she sat there shivering in the cold, her hot breath steaming and ice forming in her fur. She was, however, enjoying watching the two fairies dance.
~~~
They continued to dance.
Slowly the snow and ice melted, and that left big mud puddles and damp leaves. But also new, bright green shoots. Around the two fae the chamber started to regrow itself, with trees growing new leaves and even sprouting blossoms! Spring flowers bloomed in abundance, until the chamber was a glorious kaleidoscope of rainbow color.
Then summer came. The tree's blooms were replaced with strong thick leaves, and spring flowers were replaced by summer ones. Tall grass grew, and they caught the sunlight and reflected it in a cascade of golden light. It wasn't long until the chamber was a vision of greens and golds and subtle browns.
Next fall came again. The leaves changed colors and fell from the trees, the autumn flowers bloomed, and mushrooms sprouted up in a few new places.
All through the while he danced with her, like a grand ballet that that was the most beautiful duex de pas anyone had ever seen. The entire time he danced with her, he supported her when she leapt, caught her when she fell, and spun her around gently to show off her grace. He was her guide in the dance, her companion, her follower and her partner. He molded his body to her intention and never once caused her to move in a way she did not desire.
And through all this time, his appearance did not change, not in the chill of winter or the heat of summer.
When she finally pulled away to rest on a toadstool, he hovered there next to her, falling into a deep bow.
I am glad I could please you, my Lady. He said. It has been so long since I danced so; it was such a joy to accompany you.
It's cool. :3 I hope I'm doing alright myself. ^^;
Olivia smiled. "You dance wonderfully dear!" she blushed. Standing she kissed the man's cheek and giggled happily. "Let's dance again sometime! That was fun!! I will see you right?" she asked curiosity in her cute little eyes. Oddly, she felt like she knew this man.
Who was he though? Olivia's heart broke a little suddenly. Though she had become a fairy, her cute little face still held her maturity. It was fun pretending to be a young girl again, but all fun must come to an end.
"Please tell me your name? I would like to know." she asked in a sort of royal tone, hinting a bit of kindness. It was like her expression had changed from cute and bubbly to serious and mature. Fluttering in the air she giggled though breaking her mature nature once more.

He smiled gently, straightening from his bow. He looked upon the woman with pride and love in his eyes. Then she asked her questions, and a bit of her nature he recognized came through. This only made him smile wider.
I would love to dance with you more, my lady. He said with a chuckle. then she asked of his name. His smile faded a little, though the pride held in those eyes of his for her grew more. As for my name... Alas... I am unable to say. He said, fluttering forward towards her. He planted a loving kiss on her cheek. But one day, if all goes well, yes, we will see each other again.
He then turned away, before buzzing up into the air then diving down into a patch of flowers. There was a mild rustle as he parted leaves and stems to pass through... And then he was gone.
Olivia stood there watching him, a soft blush on her cheeks. "Until then..." she softly said with a sigh. After he vanished a small breeze began to blow making her long and beautiful blue hair dance around. Looking up she noticed the hatch. Though she didn't want to leave her Wonderland, Olivia knew it was time to end this.
"What am I going to do? Oh, how will my business ever be run now?" she said quietly to herself. All those people she started it with, all of her friends. Olivia missed them a little, and would continue to miss them and the hard working men and women she had hired to work.
Though she had gotten permission to be gone for a while, the woman hadn't thought she would become a fairy. Fluttering her wings she floated for a moment before making her way up to where Finita was.
"Finnie! Finnie!!! Thank you!!" she happily exclaimed as she flew out of the ritual chamber. Giggling she flew around the Minotaur before landing on her snout. Standing she gave a little twirl. "I'm done! Thankie yooou!!" waving her hands vines curled around her horns as beautiful flowers sprouted from them.
Now the Minotaur woman looked like she had caught her horns up in some flowered vines. "There make you all pretty!" she giggled blowing a kiss. "Bye bye Finnie!!" giving another twirl she began to laugh happily as she flew off. Finita looked so silly now!
Though she wondered who the man was? Inside her heart, Olivia knew she would never see him again. and silent tears fell from her eyes as she flew to where everyone was. By the time the fairy had joined them she was all smiles.
Flying around everyone she giggled happily causing flowers to bloom everywhere. "Let's makie make this boring old labby pretty!" she happily giggled then stopped to watch as the construction workers began to tear up the field of flowers. Landing on one of the flowers she created her wings drooped a little as she waved. "Bye bye..lovely wonderland...I will miss you..." she stated sadly but knew it had to be done!

Finita blinked as the little fairy flew right out of the chamber and started calling her Finnie and thanking her profusely! Before the Minotauress could get a word in edgewise, the tiny fairy woman had filled her horns and mane with flowering vines, then flown away.
Finita just stared after her as if the tiny fairy had broken her brain. Finally she snorted out a jet of steam before pulling on a vine covered horn. She got up and headed back inside, while pulling the flowers from her mane.
She is going to have to talk to Olivia about the flowers... They were nice, but hardly professional...
~~~
I was eating my sushi at a table next to Ratchet when little Olivia came in. She started zipping about, causing vines to sprout out of the floor an grow up the walls and creeping along the floor, blooming various brightly colored flowers. I was sitting a little bit too close to one of these sprouting vine bodies, and it immediatly started growing up my tail and the chair leg.
I yipped loudly as I transformed back into my huge silver fox form with a poing! I think the vines were now trying to bind my tails to the chair... I yipped unhappily and started squirming, before the chair tilted backward and l landed on my back, only to get tangled and covered in more vines.
YIP! YIP YIP YIP!!I barked very loudly at Olivia...
Cecelia watched the rituals with her usual interest. She was very much enjoying the dance of the fairies. It was lovely to she the weather and seasons change at such a fast pace. It was a beautiful site that no others would ever see in there lifetime. She felt lucky to see such a thing. When the newly formed fairy few from the ritual area and into the lab, the Siren laughed and clapped her hands at the hilarity unfolding before her. She laughed herself sick as flowers sprouted from every place possible around the lab. It was causing all kids of trouble that she was enjoying despite herself. Her musical laughter filled the water and air... until vines started to grow around her tank. She grew a little worried then. That last thing she wanted was these fast growing vines to shatter her tank trying to put down roots.

((*glomps Lady A* welcome back! biggrin))
Olivia giggled at the chaos that was happening. Of course she was only being playful! Fairies did that after all, everyone should know that. Olivia felt bad for the kitsune but still laughed as the vines pulled the woman's tail changing her into a fox. Though she had her fun and snapped her fingers.
The vines stopped growing and soon the sweet smell of flowers took their place. Floating down she sat on a flower near the kitsune and frowned sadly. "I'm sorry fox lady!" she stated poking her fingers together sheepishly. "I was only having fun!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alex had noticed the distress of the Siren and began to pull the vines from the tank. The last thing he wanted was for her to not have any water to breathe in! Or have the glass shatter and cut the beautiful woman. Luckily, the fairy's spell had ended and he was able to get most of the flowered vines away. Climbing up the side, using a latter, of Cecelia's tank Alex began to pull off the vines near the top. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ratchet gasped. "Silvia!!" he shouted watching her change into her six tailed form and was now being bound to the floor. Immediately getting up he began to rip the vines off of her. Carefully removing them from her tails, he didn't want to end up cursed after all, Ratchet finally removed everything just as the fairy's spell ended.
"Oh my gosh are you alright honey!?" he asked stroking her fur. He had hauled her up into his lap some and was trying to calm her down, Ratchet started to feel how hot her body was becoming. The last thing they needed was a fire!
"Calm yourself snuggle face." he cooed scratching behind one of her ears. "I don't like Finita would like it if you stared a fire." he stated lightly.
Finita walked in just as Olivia ended the spell. She looked about, looking at the vines covering everything, including a rather pissed off looking Kistune who looked like she was about to catch fire.
She watched the vines stop growing as she pulled the last of the flowers out of her hair. She smiled upon seeing Alex jump to help Cecelia, and and approved nod to Ratchet helping Silvia.
She then looked at Olivia, who was sitting near the pissed off fox. She knelt to look down at her.
Olivia, I understand that things are different for you now... But please... do be careful. You never know when someone might get hurt... We all have new abilities and new powers... You might not be able to control all of yours. Sure you got the vines to stop now... what if they had continued growing? The vines could have taken all of Cecelia' water or shattered her tank, for example. You could have seriously hurt Silvia, who is a kistune... Kistune have been known to cast curses for lesser offenses.
~~~
My tails were steaming hot as Ratchet started to try and untangle me from the vines. His touch was the only reason I didn't catch fire at all. I squeezed my eyes and sucked down a breath of air, vanishing in a sudden breeze.
A moment later I reappeared, human again. I looked down at Olivia, who was now getting a talking to by Finita. I glared at her, my eyes glowing with purple fire, as my hair suddenly caught, the tips of my hair turning bright purple. My tail also split into nine as they lit on fire as well I tried to contain my sudden fury.
I looked to Ratchet, who had a worried look in his eyes, and to Finita who was talking to the fae. I sighed heavily, exhaling a puff of white smoke. The flames in my hair and tails died, and I picked up my chair, scooting as far away from the fairy as possible.
I only returned to that area to snag my lunch. Sitting down far away from the fairy, alone, I started to try and calm myself down... but as I ate by myself, watching the contractors start to transform the Chamber into something different, occasionally a tail would catch of fire or my hair would light again...

Cecelia grew increasingly agitated as the vines continued to grow. She was very relieved when it suddenly stopped. Yet she had no idea how she was supposed to get them off. She soon realized she didn't have to when a man helped prune the plants and free her tank. She smiled with relief. "Thanks. I thought they were going to crack the glass." she told him.
Olivia poked her cute little fairy fingers together and cowered a bit at the Minotaur's words. "I never meant to hurt anyone..I just...wanted everyone to love my flowers." she said starting to cry a little. Looking over to the kitsune she gulped whens he heard about curses. Seeing how mad she got made the tiny fair's wings droop a bit. If it wasn't for the scientist, Olivia would have been toasted.
Noticing she had gone off Olivia stood up and flew over to Silvia. Landing on the table she stared up at the angry woman with apologetic eyes. "I-I'm sorry dear. You aren't hurt any are you? Please forgive me." she softly said bowing to her with respect.
"I just have this odd sudden urge of joy bubbling up in my heart and soul that's hard to control. I-I..didn't mean to hurt you. Let me find some way to make this up to you." she stated sadly. "P-Please don't curse me, I promise it won't happen again! Are your poor tails alright?" she asked not wanting to look up at the woman. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ratchet sighed then turned to face Finita. "You look exhausted Finita. How many rituals are left for today?" he asked kindly. Looking over at the fairy apologizing to Silvia, Ratchet wasn't going to stop her. If anything, he found the woman to be oddly brave. Silvia even growled at him a little as he tried to approach her.
It was best to leave his lover alone. Yet he needed to see this, touching or even pulling the tail of his Silvia was a no-no. Turning to look up at the head scientist he smiled giving her back a friendly pat. "I never thought we would meet so many colorful people when we first started this project..did you?" he asked kindly.
"So, is there anything you need from me boss?" Ratchet asked, feeling like he hadn't done much today. --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alex blushed a bit when Cecelia thanked him. "N-No problem. I didn't want you to get hurt." he stuttered shyly. "B-By the way..that song you sang earlier was very nice. You've got a beautiful voice." he smiled softly. "My name's Alexander Snowe! I don't think we've properly introduced ourselves yet!" he happily stated with a grin, holding his hand out to shake hers. It was funny how much she looked like a mermaid, but her eyes..held a bit of mischievous intent in them.
Were Sirens and Mermaids really that different?

Cecelia giggled at the man. He was kind of cute and from the look in his eyes seemed very curious. And despite herself, whether she got attention from curiosity or awe, she liked it. Which is why she would play for anyone who asked. She knew it was a bit shallow, but she couldn't help it. She wanted to be admired. She swam to the top of the tank and hung over do she could take his hand. She shook in firmly. "Thank you! I'm Cecelia. Sorry about dripping water all over you, but I'm afraid it can't be helped." she said apologetically. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Alexander."
Estelle only could smile at the antics of Olivia who was flittering around, her stony heart fluttering at the mere sight of her dancing. The dwarf still getting acostomed to her new legs would happly dance along with them, although she was happy now just watching. Though as winter changed she wanted to join her but she couldn't interupt the ritual.
Once it had cleared and She had come out to Finita, Estelle had to ask her to dance later, which made her blush. though she did feel something creep around her leg. Though to her she merly used her immense strength to remove the offending plant.
