"What do you think she meant by 'wear clothes you don't mind getting wet?'"
"Class, we can think of that later. For now….
*Dingggg*
Get ready for your next class."
".....Kids ready for their first school trip?"
"I wish we had a School Trip."
"You know the rules."
"Doesn't mean I like them."
"Maybe we can use this time of our own as well."
"What do you mean?"
"Let me see that book. By the time they get back from Tyke, they will have more questions than answers; and this building looks nothing like a rainbow."
"Jacklyn, hey Jacklyn. Wait up, Where are you going, and can I come with you?"
"One Pearl has been open for two months now so I am going to give them a class field trip to celebrate. Let them hang out with their most favorite characters."
"They do realize their 'characters' are actual people."
"I know."
"Our…Forefathers."
"I know."
"The ones who built our Kingdoms?"
"They didn't build them. Castle of Fire used to be the only kingdom and the rest were underground, but after Tyke came back with the Queen's husband, Tyke said that it is not I alone who brought him safely. Please reward the others as well. So, the Queen gave them land; but there was just one problem.
Dragons still roamed freely, and Morando didn't know how the others would respond so Tai and him fought it out if they should stay or not, with Morando coming to terms that before the Queen summon the King's friends, it is best to take the Dragons back and only revert them to the sky for everyones safety. So, while everyone came up; the Dragons stepped back and...."
"Hid."
"Looked from afar. But they did feel like they were pushed off to the side."
"That's because they were."
"The book is only from Tykes' side of things though. Too bad we couldn't get the Princesses' side of the story as to what was happening above ground while Tyke was rescuing her father below."
"I know. That's a shame. All we have is the Brave Knights diary along with the king, but not the Girls. Maybe if we did we could link the two and reveal the map. The starting point where the Unicorn first appeared to Tyke. Long before...…"
"Any of this?"
"Exactly."
"Well, if it was written down then that means it has to be here somewhere."
"Perhaps. Or perhaps not. If both of them switched books to remember each other, and the Unicorn brought Tyke here...."
"Then that means Tyke left with her book."
"But why take the book and not the girl?"
"And who is Tyke?"
"Too bad this trip is for School only."
"But it's the history of all of us. Tell us, tell us. Tell us. Please let us come along."
"You had your welcome to magic show by Lolli. I am now giving the Kids their proper history, meet their favorite character on a school trip. School...…Trip."
"But if Tyke was taken away, then who'd you talk to?"
"His son."
"Maybe he has the book."
"If it were that simple, I would have taken it already. He just has the magic and knowhow. The only way you can get to the Garden is if you are connected."
"But you're a basketball player. How do you know all of this?"
"Good day, Serenity. It was nice meeting you but I gotta fly."
"Jacklyn, wait. Who are you...….really?"
".......When the time's right, I'll let you know."
"Jacklyn, wait…
*Poof*
Cough….cough…..cough...…..cough."
"Tyke!!!!!!!!!!!........Tyke!!!!!!!....…..Tyke, where are..."
"Jacklyn?"
"Aaaaagh."
"What brings you down here?"
"Don't scare me like that."
"Sorry."
"You'll be expecting guests in a few hours."
"How many?"
"Kids mostly. Some parents, and a few sponsors; but mainly kids. Spiked to hear stories about your Dad. They say the book isn't big enough."
"That's because there are two."
"They are only interested in one."
"Oh.....so they don't know about the other?"
"Not if you want to educate them."
"Two lovebirds cannot marry for one has to be a prince and he is not. So they exchange Diaries, vowing to one day reunite. Not much more I can educate them on."
"Thanks.You're the best."
"Yeah, yeah. I just wish they came to hear about my stories. About what happened after..….He left and took the 'surface kingdoms' with him. What lay behind."
"I keep telling you you should write your own stories, but noo."
"Jacklyn, it's not a diary if you start late in life. It would be more of a….."
"Of a what? You are not getting any younger you know."
"Thanks for the all too clear and visible reminder. *Erhhmmm*
Let me get ready and I'll cue you to come in. Stinking Varmins always nitpicky to know the truth but never want to go on the adventure themselves.``
"What was that?"
"Uhhh….nothing. Just happy to have some company, that's all. Thanks for doing this."
