The next morning we decided to go shopping. We were to lazy to use public transportation to get there so we just decided to teleport via Lanasha.
"Where do you guys want to go first?" I asked
"I need to pick up some new clothes!" Anara replied
"Same here." Lanasha said, and I turned to Lunace and Miraj.
"Uh...I need to get some decorations for my room. I have none." Miraj said
"I'm going with you." I replied "I need stuff too."
We all looked at Lunace
"I'm...I'm gonna go off on my own for a bit, I have some stuff to do." We then split up.

"What about this one?" Miaj asked me holding up a small fountain.
"Sure, if you want it." I replied. I was looking around the shop. It had a lot of furniture and stuff, but I didn't really like any of it.
"What are you getting?" Miraj asked me.
"I don't know...I can't think of anything I like." Was my reply.
"Why don't you get this?" Miraj was holding up some sort of poster paper, which was blank.
"Uh...Miraj...it's blank!"
"No, you can use magic stuff to edit it. Like placing text, adding pictures...y'know that stuff!"
"Okay then, I'll get it!"

"Question - what exactly are these dresses for?" I asked Anara, who was holding 4 dresses in her hand.
"I don't know. If something big - like a formal event happens, we all need to look good. The blue one is for Miaj, the orange for me, the red for you and the green for Lunace. I just don't know what colour to get Sahpiro. Black reflects death - but it isn't her style." She replied.
"Pink?" I offered
"Maybe" Anara looked around. There were heaps of fancy outfits here. I tagged along after I got all my stuff from another shop.
"Wait...you're a princess, so don't you have access to heaps of dresses anyway?" I really do not know why I asked that.
"Well, true, but I'm not going all the way to Domino just for a couple dresses I can get here" she then picked up a dress. "This is perfect for Sahpiro!"

After we payed for all the dresses, we walked outside to find Aronn and Draine.
"Hey!" Draine said "Have you seen Miraj anywhere?"
"She went off with Sahpiro. I can't remember where." Was it just me or did Aronn only start paying attention when I said 'Sahpiro'...? Eck, whatevs.
"So she's here?" Draine asked. I looked at Anara, who grabbed her tracker.
"Tracker. Find Miraj, fairy, 16." The 3d grid zoomed to like, 50 meters away, and Miraj was getting something to eat from some bakery.
"Okay thanks. Also where did you get that?" Draine asked
"Somewhere. Digitelle." Anara replied. I couldn't tell if she was lying or not
"Anyway, if you're going to see her - buy her something. She likes gifts..." I said, and they walked off.
"How did you know that?" Anara looked at me.
"We're sisters - remember?" I rolled my eyes.
"Oops. I forgot." She blushed from her own stupidity.

(Sahpiro's POV)
Me and Miaj were just eating food alone. Because we got hungry. I could see Aronn and Draine walking towards us.
"Your boyfriend is walking towards you." I said. She turned around to see Aronn and Draine, who was now running towards her. They crashed into/hugged each other and Aronn rolled his eyes at them. I just laughed.
"Well, see you later Miraj, I'm going to leave you now." I said, walking off. Aronn followed me, and I can't blame him. Being the 3rd weel would really suck. I turned for like a mille-second to see Draine give her something, perfume I think.
"So, whats new with you?" Aronn asked
"Nothing much...you?" I replied
"No not really. Though, random fact, I was the one who actually the one who convined Draine to ask Miraj out. So I am an awesome matchmaker." He gloated
"I'm probably better though" I said smirking and rolling my eyes.
"You want to bet?" He challeneged me, and I had to accept.
"Okay, matchmaking game. Out of Anara, Lanasha, Lunace, Luke, Dale and Arnold, we pair them up. Every couple which turns out right, 100 points is given to whoever guessed right. Whoever wins gets..." I began "200 dollars?"
"Okay. It's a bet." He said grabbing out a notebook and ripping two pages out. I wrote down my bet.
Mine:
Anara & Luke
Lanasha & Dale
Lunace & Arnold
Aronn's:
Lunace & Dale
Anara & Luke
Lanasha & Arnold
"It's on." He said, staring at me evily.

For about 5 more minutes we just talked about random stuff, I now he has a girlfriend named Sybilla, and he got annoyed at me because I was teasing him over it. It was still fun for me.
"Guys. There. You...are!" Miraj said running up to us, obviously out of breath, the others (and the other guys) were running behind her.
"What happened?" Aronn asked
"Faragonda called, she said its urgent." Anara replied
"Let me guess, Liracea and Electria are back just as we thought they were gone for good and now they're attacking Alfea to come after us for foiling their previous plans?" I asked
"That's basically it." Lanasha said
"NAILED IT!" I high-fived Aronn.
"Guys. Seriously." Arnold looked at us.
"Well, let's go then." Dale replied. Nobody moved
"LETS GO!" I yelled.

(Anara's POV)
We all transported back to Alfea, and it was then when we noticed the sky. It was filled with dark clouds, really dark clouds. I bet they were full of dark energy. There is obviously something up...
"Miss Feragonda!" Sahpiro said "What's going on here?"
"I'm glad you're all here. Liracea and Electria are going to attack the school." Miss Feragonda said
"Big deal. They're weaker than before - aren't they?" I said, and immediately regretted it.
"I'm afraid that might not be the case in this situation." Another teacher appeared. I looked toward Sahpiro, who had a confused expression for about a millie second...hm.
"What do you mean?" Sahpiro asked
"Do you remember why they were on Linphea?" The teacher asked
"Yes. They were there for Lunace's necklace." Miraj said "Right?"
"No, they got Lunace's necklace when you went on your first mission. I believe they were after something else." The teacher looked at us "They weren't just after the artifacts. I believe they were up to something else. Lunace, what else could they possibly want?"
"Well, I don't know really...they said something about controlling Linphea, but they haven't been there since." Lunace replied. I was in thought for a moment. I had read something somewhere about something on Linphea at some point in time. A tree, or a plant...or a potion ingrediant..
"That's it! I remember reading about a plant only found in Linphea's caves" I blurted out
"The Potentia Plant?" The teacher said
"Sounds right to me..." Lunace replied softly.
"It's a plant that can make you stronger. But why use it now, not before?" Miraj asked
"Hello ladies." A voice said behind us "And losers."
Of course. It just had to be them.

Okay, so I've decided to get rid of my schedule and just update when I've finished a chapter. BUT I will try updating once a week. No promises though.
So, about Sahpiro and Aronns bet. In every chapter it is mentioned from now on, I'll put their total score at the bottom, so you don't have to add it all up. So far the score is 0 - 0.
Hope you liked the chapter :) Only 8 more chapters left, then the epilouge thing.
