“Now remember,” daroach whispered to the squeaker guarding the door to his chambers, “under no circumstances are you to disturb us. Well, unless, of course, if there’s an emergency like the castle’s on fire or something, but other than that, you are not to open this door! Understand?” The guard saluted “Yes, you’re majesty” “Good” daroach took off his hat, licked his paw and slicked back his fur. he figured an hour was enough time for her to compose herself, and he was too anxious to wait any longer. "Alright," he said, clapping his hands together, "here it goes" he reached for the door handle and was about to unlock it when he paused How should he go about this? ask her straight out or woo her a little first? "Come on, this shouldn't be hard" he told himself "you already did this to the fairy queen" but it had been different with the fairy queen. his intentions then been solely for power and hadn't held any affection for her. he didn't want adeleine to just say yes. strange as

“Keep scrubbing, snail!” daroach yelled at escargoon who was kneeling at the fairy queen’s throne with a sponge “My queen’s throne must shine! If i see a single speck of dust on it, i will wringing out your mucus and make a backscratcher out of you” The snail squeaked as he scrubbed harder. Daroach stroked his fur as he gazed at the small throne “Can i stop cleaning now?” escargoon asked hopefully “Oh no, it still lacks luster” The snail sighed “why do i even bother?” Daroach spun around when he heard heavy breathing behind him. he grinned brightly when he saw Spinni dashed through the door with adeleine over his shoulders with Elline and dark metaknight behind him. "You did it, Spinni!" he exclaimed. "you brought her! Finally! "she's..." Spinni huffed, "heavier than i thought..." Daroach scowled "How dare you say that about my future queen?! And give her to me! you're going to drop her!" spinni collapsed as soon as he grabbed adeleine. the yellow squeaker waited to catch his

The fairy queen was awoken by a loud crash. Before was a tray of food. Not sweets, but a bag of sour-balls. “Morning, My little ray of sunshine” daroach mockingly The fairy queen rubbed her eyes and glanced out the window, seeing that it was still dark outside “have you been messing with the sun again or are you just waking me up real early? And what’s with the sour-balls?” The squeak king shrugged “ oh, i thought you’d just like to have a little something to eat before your execution” The Queen sat upright in shock “what?!” “Of course, every prisoner is entitled to their last meal. I’m not completely heartless” “But…but…” she gripped her neck “Execution?” “Why so surprised? You said so yourself you would rather die than marry me” “But…i didn’t think…” “That I'd give up so soon, you thought wrong. You see queenie, once i have the nutcracker in my grasp, I’ll have no more use for you. And don’t think you can change my mind. You were right when you said I could have any girl in

“So when you do that camouflage thing?” lololo asked elline Elline stared down at the blue ball beside here for a long moment and then slowly retracted her marshmallow from the fire. Without saying another word, she just popped the treat into her mouth, glancing uncomfortably at lololo “You know, i never knew your chateau around here,” tiff said as she pressed her marshmallow between two graham crackers Susie casually sliding a piece of chocolate into tiff’s little sandwich. “Well, who do you think made the path to the house “That Was You Guys?” spinni asked Susie gasped “wait how do you know?” “Did you make this whole house too? Ribbon inquired, glazing around “Oh, yeah, technology is my specialty” well, that and throwing parties. “It’s incredible,” tiff compliment, although it’s a little…in the disarray “Oh” susie hung her head. Well, things haven’t been the same since that mean old rat, daroach took over. He sent the squeakers to take the place apart. We managed to fight

When tiff pushed the final branch aside, the others gasped. Before them was a waterfall, pouring a rainbow of colors into the lake below the colors fell beside each other so evenly that it was as if a rainbow had melted atop a cliff “Welcome to rainbow falls,”tiff announced “Amazing,” adeleine whispered “Cool!” ribbon squeaked “I’ve always heard of this place,” metaknight grinned, “but I’ve never seen it myself” tiff’s smile disappeared when he looks around “not amazing as it used to be” The lake was surrounded by charred wood and run-down buildings that appeared to have once stalls “This use to be a trader’s exchange,” tiff explained “people would come from all over the land of dreams to trade all kinds of things. When daroach took over, they start selling stuff on the black market. That’s how we got our weapons and supplies. daroach must’ve found out and had the sqeakers ransack the place” “So much for supplies,” adeleine sighed “Let’s look around,” metaknight declared.

“So let me get this straight,” tiff said once the others had finished telling their story. “You,” she pointed at adeleine, “are from another world and daroach went after the brooch of yours, not knowing who has given you the captain turned nutcracker for christmas and he tried to kidnap you, but he couldn’t because your brooch has some freaky magic and now you are on a quest to defeat the squeak king for good, without an army backing you up?” “The army’s coming tomorrow,” metaknight explained, “But yeah, that’s pretty much it” The rebel nodded “Things in this land keeps getting stranger and stranger. I mean daroach gets that Freaky magic and turns the queen into a horrifying monster and now this!” “I’ve been meaning to ask,” said Adeleine “What’s the deal with that brooch?” “daroach didn’t have this much power,” metaknight replied grimly “after the fairy queen and I announced our engagement, daroach forced the witch sisters to tell him where to find the bell. The legend says that

metaknight glanced around. “Strange. The cappies has lived in this area for generations. My guess is that daroach either captured them or ran to avoid capture” adeleine looked at him “Why would he want to capture them?” “Before I was banished, daroach bragged about making everybody his slave, not because he needed any, but for his own amusement. He even showed me two colorful sisters in chains, claiming them as his own personal fortunetellers” “Fortunetellers?” “ He said they can conjure the spirit of the dreams and see the future. He forced her to tell him how to work on his own magic. No doubt that’s how he found you” He shook his head sadly “If that’s what he’s doing to her, who knows what he’s making other folks so?” he looked at adeleine and then up at the a large tree adeleine went up and grabbed a red cheeked apple that had captured her interest. She was on the tip of her toes as she grasped it. When she tried to pluck it off the branch however, it wouldn’t budge, as if

“Oh my,” adeleine shivered as she and her friends walked through the tunnel. “It’s so dark” The girl quietly apologized and gazed fearfully into the darkness. She gripped the nutcracker’s arm tighter with no intention of letting go and losing herself in the dark tunnel. How much further? She whispered metaknight shrugged. “I honestly don’t know” he leaned closed “Don’t worry, mistress. By my honor, I will keep you from harm” adeleine blushed and admired how handsome the nutcracker looked in the dim light. Then she frowned when she remembered he was engaged. To a Queen, no less That was really what bothered her about this quest. Not the fact that she was facing an awful tyrant, but that the prince charming joining her already had a love. Of course, she had no intention of pursing a man that was taken, but didn’t the heroine of every fairy tale get the prince in the end? If the nutcracker had the queen, what did make adeleine? “I see a Light!” ribbon announced, pointing

In the wall was a tiny mouse hole, and from it came an army of mice, small mouse-like creatures that are simple in appearance. Their bodies are shaped similar to that of a tadpole's and they will either be seen colored red, blue, yellow, or green. Their faces are a peach color and they have two shiny eyes and a mouth. They have two large ears on the top of their heads. Squeakers lack limbs, and have small tails. They were just fluffy little mice like creatures that smell of cinnamon. They marched quietly into the cellar and shushed each other whenever the floor creaked. Then a large mouse emerged from the hole, taller as his army A towering rat with gray fur dressed in a long jagged red cape. Around his neck, he has a gold bell that appears to be holding up his cloak. His face is shaven and has yellow eyes with dark gray circles around them, above them are thick eyebrows. Although he lavishes himself as a mouse, he has rat-like characteristics, such as sharp fangs and round, floating

It was the eve of Christmas and the streets of Town were quiet. The snow fell silently on the sidewalk as the light in every shop window went out. Everyone had gone home to their families to prepare for the festivities The only living soul out tonight was a tall dark figure draped in a black hooded cape. The crunch of his shoes in the snow was the only sound to be heard; unless you had a good enough ear to hear the snowflakes touch the ground The old man’s face was serene, his eyes focused on the path ahead of him, making occasional glances to the brightly wrapped packages tucked in his bag. He stopped in front of a building that was an orphanage in a state of disrepair. The windows were dark like the orphans had fallen asleep. The old man smiled and looked at his baggage “Now everything falls into place” --------------------------------------------------- Inside the Orphanage, the orphans are asleep in their cold rooms. Hidden in a tiny closet however,a young girl was putting
