"Hey, Amethyst! Dont use all the syrup!" Aria yelled at me. The pitcher was almost empty... only from completely covering 3 pancakes. "But its sooo good!" I told her. Dixie's place was so cute! I cant even explain it. Aria started staring off into space. I wondered what she was thinking about.. Or who! Maybe I wasn't the only one who has been talking to the boys! You know... she has been giving that guy Elias 'the look'.... "Aria?" I asked her. yeah

"yeah" she says.

"You ok?"

"Yeah why?"

"You keep spacing out"

"I do"

'''Yeah your eyes get all glassy and it seems your brain went to wonderland or something" I said eating another pancake.

"oh" She said looking down.

"Are you sure your ok?" At that Dixie walked in. ''Whats going on." I looked up at Dixie. "Aria keeps spacing out" I say harmlessly. "She is?" Dixie said worried. I spaced out a bit while Aria and Dixie exchanged Are you oks and Im fines. Im sure she was fine. She was probably just missing home. I know I do.. "That was very mom-like" Aria said. "Yeah.."When Dixie left again, we ate in silence for a while and Aria went back to wonderland. I sighed and shook her shoulders lightly and yelled "Aria get out of wonderland!" She snapped. "Stop shaking me!" she said dramaticly and started shaking me. "No you stop shaking me!" I said back jokingly. In the process of weirding around, Aria managed to majestically and very gracefully on her face. "Thats gotta hurt..." I said, and pulled her up. "ooww... " she complained.

"You ok? That was a pretty good face plant..."

"Ya.. Im fine.. but on a scale of one to ten... How majestic was that fall?"

"Well..." I started jokingly "Your form was a little stiff... I have to deduct points for that... But overall a 7."

"Yay!" She threw up her arms. I joined her in her celebration.

After we finished eating, Dixie came back. "Oh are you girls done eating? Dixie asked. "I hope it was ok... I havent cooked for anyone in years."

"I was really good!" I told her.

"Really?" She asked.

"Yeah!" Ari added.

"Thats a relief..." Dixie told us. "Anyway, what do you girls have planned for today?" Dixie asked us, her and Aria getting up do clear the dishes.''Uuuhhhh Im not sure..." Aria answered. "Maybe we could go talk to to Chase and the guards some more." I offered.

"Not alone your not!" Aria snapped. "I'm still mad about last night!"

"Huh? What happened last night?" Dixie asked confused.

"Oh please... Not another lecture! Please!" I half screamed

"Wait what did she do last night?"

"Amethyst ditched me to hang out with the boys"Ok no! No! No I didn't!" I yelled. I was not going to put up with this. Nope. Not this time

"So did you ditch her or not?" Dixie ask confused, putting away the dishes.

"Ok! My side of the story first!" I said putting my hand over Aria's mouth. Then she licked my hand. I pulled it away. "Did you just lick my hand?!?!?!" I asked her. "Yes, yes I did." She answered me blankly. "Ew!" I squealed in disgust. Dixie was laughing so hard she had to hold the counter to hold herself. When I had stopped cleaning my hand and Dixie started breathing normally again, I took a breath and started explaining my side of the story.

"Ok so I was dancing with Evan," I began. "As we danced we talked. We danced and talked for a while. Then I went to get food, you know like any girl would. I saw Chase there. After I took a walk. I saw a stream and it made me think of a song I wrote and I realized I started singing it. After I was done I saw the boys and they complemented my singing. They told me she had gone back and I went home at that. The end." I flourished my arms. "Alright! My turn!" Aria started her story.(hehe you have to look at AuraHeart 's pov to see her side!) As she finished Dixie looked at us debating who to believe. "Well Amethyst... I wouldn't say it's a good thing that leaving and not telling anyone was a good thing. Aria, Amethyst has the right to dance with someone. She can't help if he's a flirt. Now you to make up." Aria rolled her eyes and gave me a hug. "There we made up, happy?'' i asked her rollong my eyes. Dixie smiled and nodded. "Why don't you guys see Chase or one of the guards? I'm sure they'd be more than happy to give you a tour."We look at each other and shrug. "Sounds good to me." I told her. "Why not." Aria says. "I also want to go to the library and find us a book on how to get home." Dixie nodded as we started heading to the door. "Oh hold on!" Dixie screamed and left the room. "Here" She came back with a brown pouch. "Just something you can buy yourself stuff with" She handed it to me and it was heavy. I looked inside and there was about 20 gold coins. "Oh no... We can't take this." I told her. "We really can't" Aria agreed. She tried to give it back. "No, no I insist!" She told us. "Really if you don't take it I'll spend it all on chocolate! Really your doing me a favor." Aria and I looked at each other hesitantly. "Are you sure?" Aria asked. "Yes" She told us. We thanked her and set off. We opened the door to the guard tower and immedetly regreted it. Liam and Evan were sword fighting... Shirtless... "OH MY- WHY?" Aria squealed covering her eyes. "OI" I yelped and buried my face in Aria's shoulder. I only heard plain noise for about 40 seconds straight. Then Liam's voice came to clear. "La- I mean Aria... You guys can look now." We look up to 2 very embarrassed boys. Thankfully they all had shirts on now. My face felt too warm for comfort and Aria looked at me, "Please tell me you didn't..." My eyes widened and I shook my head rapidly. They apollogized frantically, Clay just stood there smirking. I took a breath and spoke "Uuuhhh... it's ok Evan.." Aria told him. "You didn't know we were coming... It's not your fault." She tapped the back of his head and he steps back, embarassed. "Well," Clay spoke up breaking the silence. "That was something, wasn't it Lael...." Lael smiled big. "I've never seen brother Liam so red!" He grinned.I giggled a little hoping no one saw. "Shut up!" Evan yelled at them. Lael covered his mouth in attempt not to laugh. Clay bit his lip trying to do the same. As expected they both failed. They busted out laughing. The fun ended when a strong male voice cut the laughter.

"What's going on?" Elias said icily. That's when everything went silent. The boys looked alarmed. No one answered his question, and he obvilously saw that. "I will not ask again. What is going on?" He said emotionless. The brave and amazing Liam and Evan stepped in front of Elias. Evan then explained the situation that had happened just 5 minutes ago. After explaining the whole ordeal Elias looked at me and Aria. "Aria Heart and Amethyst Firetheif. What are you doing here." My heart was thumping out of my chest. Whats with this guy? He gave me weird vibes... I don't want him around, I don't even know him. My judgement is usually good. I don't want him around Aria either... "Oh uh I wanted to-" Aria started, but was interrupted by Clay. "They obviously wanted to see me!" Clay smirked. He walked over to Aria and smiled. That lit the wick for the bomb, and it was about to explode. No one gets close to Aria unless... I ship it.... AND I DONT SHIP CLAY X ARIA!!!! "Isn't that right?" He asked, obviously knowing he'd pissed us off "uuhhh no." Aria told him. I took in a deep breath and spoke calmly. "Yeah, that wasn't exactly what we came here for." He looked at us and stuck out his lip. "Aww so mean" He sighed, fake deject.

"Clay cut it out" Evan said looking up. "Seriesoulsy you need to stop flirting with every girl you come in contact with." That was cute... Kind of immature, but it was cute. I decided to humor it though. "Oh he does that?" I said sarcasticly. He look over me and smiled for a split second and then his face went straight and he said, "Uh yeah.Sereiously it doesn't matter how long he's known them, if it's female he'll flirt with it." Liam and Lael nodded, and they kept arguing about the subject as I spaced out in my thoughts.

This place though... Its so different, so beautiful... Like a fantasy, like a dream. It's like the real world-er- the world Aria and I came from wasn't real. What if we were meant to come here. What if we were meant to be apart of this world, be apart of these peoples lives. The people here are so kind and non-judgemental. So perfect. If we can't leave here I'd be fine with it.... What about Aria though, what if she doesn't want to leave. We only really had each other back home. Now we have Dixie, Chase, and the other boys... Evan, Elias, Liam, Lael, and even Clay.

The thought of that made my face warm.Aria hissed and elbowed me."Ow, what?" I whispered. "You'd better stop staring at them or I swear I will leave you here." She told me "Huh?!?!?!" I squealed. My voice reminded the boys we were still here. Elias asked us coldly, ''Why are you here?" Aria stepped up. "We wanted to see if one of you could show us around." Aria said quickly. "I'll show you around!" Clay answered even quicker. I looked to Evan pleading with my eyes. We were dissapointed to here that all the boys were busy except Clay.

"Well lets go!" Clay smiled.

Well this is gonna be interesting....
