• Alyss snapped her fingers in an annoyed way.
    "D***it! I don't even know where the hell she is!"
    Maybe.. maybe I can use the looking glass!
    Suddenly, a brown ball darted around her, and came to a stop.
    "Alyss my dear! How rash you are! I'm sorry. We forgot the coordinates!" The voice of the March Hare spoke sadly with sorrow. Then an angry voice filled the air.
    "We?!" Carrotop's shrill voice came. "You are the one who forgot! Alyss! Right! Sorry.. Well you see we've made all the invitations, and Teddy has done a marvelous job! We helped him out a little, but there's only a few left. I thought you'd want to invite more so, just send us a message! AND YOU YOU LITTLE HARE! WHA"
    The little bubble of Matt's magic made Alyss laugh. She hadn't laughed in such a long time. One hour! She twinkled her fingers and spoke to the air:
    "Dearest Matt, Carrotop, Dormouse. And the March Hare. It's okay you forgot! I'll look for her myself. After all, what kind of friend would I be if I left her on her own?! Yes, I want to invite everyone we know! Meaning everyone in Dream Clouds! If I'm not back within 2 hours, please send a search party! Thank you~"
    She gently blew the little pink bubble carrying the large message. She then clenched her fist determined. I'll find you Riika! No matter what!

    "Ungh....."
    Riika tried to move her hands. Pain throbbed throughout her whole body. She let out a little gasp. Her hands were tied behind her back.
    "Hmm... Ah!
    Heal the wounds
    I do show
    Heal the wounds
    I don't want to show!    "
    She immediately felt better, but her arm ached whenever she moved it.
    "The bait has woken up! Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Come quickly!"
    A Gemblock? Riika wondered.
    She flinched as a loud banging noise rang through the room.
    "You are Alyss' friend, from Dream Clouds?" A loud, female voice boomed.
    "Was! Not anymore! Surely they all don't care!" Riika screamed. A flashback, and she remembered all the horrid things she said. Tears fell, and her temper rose.
    "Alyss hates me! Let me go!"
    The laugh was shrewd, and creepy.
    "In your dreams!"
    For one of the first times in her life, Riika was deathly afraid. Someone was after Alyss, and she couldn't use magic as the black and white Gemblocks watched her every move. She stood.
    "I need to use the toilet!" she announced, with a sense of embarrassment.
    "We're coming with you!' the blocks yelled.
    "No you are not! Your both male, and I'm female. Your also evil because your black and white! So, I'm using the toilet!"
    "No!" the blocks cried in unison. They stacked on top of each other, and looked at Riika closely. "You girl. Most definitely. We guards. We no let you escape!"
    The white block seemed to have a thought. "Get off of me please! I have an idea! Listen closely, especially you, human!" The black block jumped off. The white block said the word 'human' like it was a deadly disease. "Fine, but this better be worth it!"

    "Find me Riika
    My dear friend
    One who is injured and most likely captive
    And loved so dear!    "
    Alyss knew she said the right words. Somewhere in her heart told her. She rolled the green ball into her hand mirror, and a swirling portal opened. She gulped and peered inside.
    This.. doesn't look like the looking glass..
    She hesitantly put her hand near the mirror. And just as her finger tips touched it..
    "Alyss, noo!" Teddy cried.
    "What?!"
    It was too late. Alyss was sucked in, and her mirror did not follow.
    Teddy was angry with himself. I should of came sooner!
    He picked up the mirror, and took a deep breath.
    "What she said!"
    The portal opened again, and Teddy took out a sword. He stabbed the portal and held onto the mirror tightly. The mirror following had a sickening lurch in his stomach, but he was in a red looking glass.
    Alyss, your so stupid!
    He darted quickly, looking for a sign of her. Until he reached the end, he found something. Riika's pouch filled with chocolate. Teddy clutched to the bag, and headed into the portal, positive Alyss was here with Riika.
    ~~~
    "Wow. Amazing plan for a Gemblock! But then again, you are the evil ones."
    The white and black one nodded approvingly. They cut the ropes, and let her go to the bathroom first before initiating anything. The held onto her arms like a prisoner down the halls, and invisible ropes kept her from moving. Meaning, she was just clutching her wrist.
    "Hurry! The queen will be coming to us to prepare her bath in about 20 minutes!"
    Riika burst out laughing,and coughed. She went to the bathroom, and came out five seconds later.
    "That was fast."
    I didn't go... There wasn't any toilet paper!"
    "Conjure some idiot!"
    "Riiight.."
    Riika went back in, and took about 3 minutes because she couldn't think of a TP conjuring spell.
    "Okay."
    "Here is her scepter. She damaged your arm severely with it."
    Red and black mist floated in the sphere. As soon as Riika held it, a white, clear color appeared.
    "Strong white magic. Remember, us first!" the black one lectured.
    "Alright! Geesh, give me time!"
    She tapped her foot, and began swirling the scepter around.
    "Black and White
    Shades you are
    Blue and Green
    To who you are!
    The two blocks turned a cheery color within seconds. Their voices were higher, and much more pleasant than before.
    "Thank you!"
    "We never told you our names!"
    The green one bowed.
    "I'm Gemlee."
    The blue one followed suit.
    "I'm Gemmer!"
    "And we're twins!" they said in unison. Riika laughed cheerfully. Their colors made Riika smile, and their attitude made her laugh.
    "My turn!
    Thick and thin
    All out or all in
    Get me out
    Leave m-    "
    "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!"
    A pained scream rang in their ears. The three gasped.
    "Looks like.."
    "..They just caught..."
    "Alyss!" they cried in unison.
