"Crusher?"

Pickle spoke as he entered his family's camping lodge by the lake. He knew that Crusher always went there when he was upset with something so huge that the view of the lake had to calm him down.

Sure enough, he had found Crusher at the very back of the cabin, staring out into the lake through the glass windows with his wings down and resting. This made the green truck sigh in relief.

"Hey, Crusher," he drove over to him. "You doing alright, big fella?"

"No, Pickle, I'm not alright," Crusher shook his head. "Grammy lied to me, Queen Zilina kept the truth from me, and Nina... that so-called mother of mine... she... okay, can't say that she left me since Grammy technically stole me away from her, but I... I'm never forgiving Nina for what she did. Everything she did,"

"Well, she WAS just trying to look out for you and your future," Pickle tried reasoning out with him. "Not that I'm saying that she had the right to almost kill us and all, but she had her reasons,"

"Yeah, and check out what happened to me 'in the future'," Crusher huffed and lowered his head on his tires. "All my life, all I've been wanting were parents, or a parent, at least. Grammy... Grammy isn't a parent to me. She spoiled me too much, and when it came to Parent's Day at school... I'm always the one with no one,"

"Oh, Crusher..." Pickle sat beside the other and leaned his head to comfort him.

"My classmates... Everyone... they all mocked me, calling me an orphan... a failed abortion..." Crusher was trying not to cry, but the tears slipped down his eyes without his consent anyway. "Telling me that I was an accident... a joke... unwanted by my parents... and unloved..."

Pickle frowned and hugged the other as much as he could. He wished he could wrap his wings around the dark blue truck, but they weren't big enough.

Crusher smiled at the green truck's efforts and wrapped a wing around him, pulling him close before allowing the waterworks to come as they proceeded to sit in silence.

"Nina..." Queen Zilina looked surprised as Blaze, AJ and the group returned with her younger sister. "What... What are you doing here?"

"Zilina," Nina gulped as she drove forward.

Phoenix, Flame and Sparkle stood behind the fairy queen and tensed at the sight of the evil fairy. The group looked just as worried but didn't try anything as the younger princess made her way to her older sister. Queen Zilina was hesitant but slowly made her way to the other, a tires out and open to welcome her.

"Sister..."

Nina's eyes widened at the honorific before guilt pressed onto her chest. In an instant, her tears rolled down her cheeks as she quickly drove to her older sister's tires.

"I'm sorry..."

Queen Zilina tried you hold herself together, but she couldn't and ended up embracing her sister as tightly as she could, as if she couldn't, the other would fade away as if she was just a dream or an illusion.

But it wasn't a dream. It was real, very VERY real. Nina, her dearest little sister, was back in her arms.

That day couldn't get any better.

"I love reunions,"

Queen Zilina stiffened at the voice. She glanced up, and her eyes widened to see Diana drive forward with a smile.

"M-Mother...?"

"Hello, Zilina," Diana went to her daughters. "I'm so glad to see you again,"

"Oh, mother..." Queen Zilina returned the smile. "It's so good to see you too," She then looked over at her sister, and her smile widened. "It's good to see you both,"

"Queen Zilina," Blaze drove forward with a bow. "Nina came here for a request,"

"She did, did she?" Queen Zilina turned back to her sister with a smile. "Was it that you need, sister?"

"A reformation, sister," Nina sighed. "My son... he hates me, and I would do anything to earn his trust and have him back into my life,"

"An excellent idea, sister," Queen Zilina nodded and smiled. "but I would need everyone's help on this spell. It is powerful and can only be casted once,"

"We'll help, your majesty," AJ told her, with the group nodding along and agreeing with him.

"So would we," Phoenix offered with Flame and Sparkle nodding with her.

"Excellent," Queen Zilina backed up a bit. "Now, everyone, gather around in a circle. Nina, stay in the center,"

Nina gave a nod and stood where she was as everyone else drove around and surrounded her in a circle. Queen Zilina took a deep breath and spread her wings, eyes closing before chanting a spell.

Suddenly, a magic spotlight dawned upon her from above before shooting towards Nina. Diana followed after her eldest daughter, another magical spotlight dawning upon her before heading straight to her youngest. Phoenix and Flame chanted after them, along with Sparkle, AJ and Blaze. Darington, Stripes and Gabby followed after them then Watts, Starla and Zeg. Spotlight after spotlight shone down on them before heading straight to Nina.

Said fairy felt herself float into the air at their magic. She closed her eyes and let the magic of light remove the darkness she had corrupted herself in. Her wings glistened as the magic surrounded her in a glowing ball of light...

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!

"Mm...?" Pickle yawned as he felt himself wake up without even realizing that he and Crusher had fallen asleep watching the view.

"Argh..." Crusher wasn't planning to get up and only nuzzled himself more. "Go away..."

"I'll get the door," Pickle chuckled and stretched to get up.

"Noooo, I need something to cuddle..." Crusher whined with a sleepy pout, pulling on the other's wing.

"Here," Pickle handed over Little Trucky and turned around. "Now I've gotta answer the door!"

"Mm-hmm..." Crusher snuggled up to his favorite toy before sighing. "I love Little Trucky, but he's not as warm as you..."

"Aw, Crusher," Pickle lightly blushed as he reached for the door. "I'll be right there. Just need to get the door,"

His tires reached the doorknob, and he turned it before opening the door.

"He— WHAT THE?!"

Crusher jumped up at the green truck's alarmed tone. He turned around to see who was at the door and growled.

"Nina."
