"What was that about? You hate authority or something? Now hold still while I unfreeze you."
"Thank you, Elwin......…but I.....am the authority."
*Shrrruuaaaaacrruuaaakkkkk*
"Ruby?"
"I told you not to switch."
"Glad I did. Jacklyn got to keep her Fairy powers. The only way we can get rid of ours is if our Dragon dies."
"Ruby, I see no flowers on this planet. Just a sea of red."
"Exactly."
"So what do we do with all the Flowers back at our Ship."
"Darius, shhh. Do you ever learn? We'll keep Jordan making them as usual, and until we scope this place out, all the flowers are Jacklyns.
Just...….try not to use all their power all at once, Jack. Jordan is the only Gardner we have."
"Roger."
"And he's the only Gardner...you........have."
"So....best to keep him there? No more scout missions for him."
"He's irreplaceable. I can clone him, but….."
"We know. You can't disguise him with blood, because...….Magic."
"Exactly."
"Jacklyn, can you make some food for us? I'm starving."
"Why me?"
"Cause besides our Elements, we have no idea how to use Dragon Magic. Even to make the simplest of things."
"That's what...."
"I don't want to mark them all. We need some communication....outside...…of the Grid. With Jordan busy….."
"I know. She's the only one to pilot the ship."
"Wooo, hey, hey, hey. What are you doing? You can't bring your own food to a Bar. It's disrespectful, and I am telling."
"Go ahead."
"I............…want some. Do you share?"
"As long as you can keep this a secret?"
"You cook?"
"Learn from the best."
"Who?"
"She's...…..not from around here."
*Stick*
*Guaaamm*
"Well...….Mmmmm..mmmmmmmmmmm.....mmmmmmm.
*Gulp*
Wherever she is from, thank her for me. Dragons have no idea what animals eat. Only Fairies do."
"That's why they are the Teachers and Dragons the Principal. Only there to keep the School running and don't care about anything else."
"HEY, GUYS."
"Shh. Do I need to get on your case, just like I did Darius'?
"Guys. Come over here. I found some decent food. Pull up a chair and crowd around so no one can see."
"Well, Jack. What's on the menu today?"
"Anything but leftovers."
*Knock, knock, knock*
"GO AWAY!!!!!!"
*Knock, knock, knock.*
"You might want to see this. It's important."
"........Link it to my screen."
"Through the eyes of Frostwings servant."
"Which one?"
"I don't know, but...…they're...….they're..."
"What? What could possibly be choking you? Spit it out at once."
"........They're feeding the Homeless......with their own food."
"Making their own Dragonfood from a Teacher. I see nothing wrong with that."
"But Stel......one of them just baked a Cake.......with sprinkles."
"Get me my coat."
".......One….two…three...…..Ha....ppy birth…day.....to...you......Ha….ppy…birth…..day.....to...you.....Ha…ppy...birth...…day…..dear...."
*BANG*
"STEll.....AAAAAA...Ha…ppy…..birth...…..day...…..to.......Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Ruby, I don't think that's Rainbow's sister."
"Who are you people? Stel doesn't have a sister."
".....Oh no."
"I...take it sweets and treats are outlawed?"
"But Stel....Candyland is full of...well...…Candy!!!!!!"
"Huuuuuuuuuuhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Did…did....did you just…..Can...die?"
*Gulp*
"THE CANDY DIED....WITH MY FATHER. When I eat that crap, I eat his tears."
"You….can't eat tears, can you Scarlett?"
"Ahhroouaaarooaaaw."
"Frostwing, I told you to to handle your Servants or I will.
Ruby.....you said you'd be better."
"I am."
"This.......is not...….better." This is WORSE!!!!"
"Are you gonna Crystalize me again?"
"Again?"
"No.
I have something better in mind for troublemakers like you."
"You....don't have your Mothers spunk like I remembered."
"Oh, you want me to show my motherly love, do you?
...….Bend over my knee and let me show it."
"Kid, take the cake and run."
"But it's just Cake, Jacklyn. You can make another one later."
"But you can't have another birthday. You're a human, not a servant. Now go.
Elwin, smoke cloud."
"Guards, SEIZE THEM."
*Poooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaafffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff*
"Whe......where'd they go? They were right here, I swear it.
Do you know anything? Speak now or forever hold your….."
"Tongue. I think the word you're looking for is tongue."
"Stella, they just disappeared, but how?"
"Jacklyn did say she was a Timekeeper. She's not gone you fools, she just teleported to the nearest portal."
"So, it's true? Somebody is collecting the batteries and restoring the machine?"
"Explains all the jumps."
*Phurrruuuuaaaaaaavoouaaavvv*
"Your Lordship, Ben. What are you doing here?"
"Is it true?"
"What's true?"
"I saw a cake?"
"Nothing more. Honest. We'll retrieve it as fast as we can.
*Kick*
Scouts honor.
Now move it, Peasants. You had your fill. Enjoy it while it lasts cause when it's gone, it's gone."
"No need to go after Stephanie. I know she won't hurt a fly."
"But...."
"I said, 'NO.'
.........….I...…have a better task for you, and you're going to love it."
"......I'm all ears."
