Phoebe decided to talk to Claudia about letting her have the amulet for the night but she wasn't sure how Claudia would react to it.
She took a deep breath before knocking on her door. "Come in." her tiny voice answered then she opened the door. Claudia looked up to see Phoebe with a sad expression on her face. She stopped the sweater she was knitting so she could focus on her. "Come here! Come here!" She gestured for her to sit on her laps which Phoebe did. "What's with the long face?"
"I had a weird dream this morning."
"Really?" Claudia asked. She wondered what kind of dream that would be for Phoebe to be this sad. "Do you mind telling me what kind of dream?" Phoebe looked at Claudia as she wondered if Claudia would believe him. Claudia saw the look on her face but told her to speak.
"I dreamt about my parents." she answered. "My mother was asking me about my amulet. She was sad I didn't have it on."
"Your parents? Perhaps your father is trying to convey a message to you."
"That is what Chad said too but then I got scared and I pushed them away. Chad said they might visit me again but I need to have the amulet with me when that happens."
"So, what you are saying now is that you need the amulet?" Claudia asked.
Phoebe nodded. "I need it for just one night."
Claudia stood up and went to the place where she hid the amulet. She brought the box and brought out Phoebe's amulet. "I just hope you know what you are doing." Phoebe nodded. Claudia stretched the necklace to her, she took it and wore it around her neck. The moment the amulet touched her neck, the light from the amulet started glowing. "Looks like the amulet misses you."
Phoebe smiled. She wrapped her palm around the amulet while absorbing the light. The amulet had its way of refreshing her. Claudia watched her with keen interest before returning the box back. "Do you know I almost left you on the street?" Phoebe looked at Claudia with a shock expression on her face. "You tried to kill Gwen and I wasn't sure I was making the right decision but now, I know I made the right choice keeping you."
Phoebe got up to hug her. "Thank you for all you have done for me."
Claudia shook his head. "This was what I bargained from when I saved your life."
Phoebe pulled out of the hug and left the room. She told Chad and Gwen how it went and they were happy it was successful.
"Now, the only question is, will they visit you again?" Gwen asked.
"They will. I can feel it." She showed them her glowing amulet. "Every time I touch it, I just feel so close to them than I have ever did before."
"Well, say me hi to them for me, okay?" Phoebe and Chad looked at her. "What?" Gwen asked when she noticed the shocked expressions on their faces.

The prince and Lucas were making plan on how to get Phoebe to trust them. "I think we should visit their house more often." Lucas suggested. "And you can be a little friendlier."
The Prince threw him a look that made Lucas shut up.
"First, what do you think she likes?" the prince asked.
"I would have answered that if I was dating her." The Prince folded his arms to look at Lucas. "Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"
"You just gave an excellent idea."
Lucas was stunned. "Wait! What did I say?"
"You need to date her."
"What?"
"If we can create a scene where we can ask her to date you for few weeks..."
"Like a dare?" Lucas asked.
"Exactly! We will dare her to..."
Lucas shook his head. "This will sound fishy. Why don't I dare her to date you?" The prince was about to complain but Lucas told him to listen. The prince kept quiet and listened to the plan. "You guys hate each other, so it's going to help with the bonding and when you are close to her, I am sure she will be open to tell you anything."
The prince thought about it. "How sure are you the plan is going to work?"
"I am sixty percent sure."
"That's above average. Well, since this is to get her and the amulets, I will do it."
"Just don't fall in love with her in the process. You know your parents won't allow..."
"Say one more word and you will be the one to do this." Lucas pressed his lips together to stop himself from speaking. "There is no way I will fall in love with her."
"Thatswhattheyallsaybutendupfallinginlove." Lucas mumbled so that the Prince won't hear him. The prince did but chose to ignore him.
"Well, I think we should start heading over to their house now." The Prince said.
"Not yet!"
"Why?"
"You need a make over, something that will quickly make you catch her attention." Lucas teased.
"I see you want to spend the rest of your life in the dungeon."
"Okay okay... Chill, I was just joking."
"Well, I wasn't."
They both went out the house and walked over to Phoebe's house.
The Prince was about to knock at the door but Lucas stopped him. "Wait! Like you'd put me in dungeon?"
"Are you scared?" The prince asked with a smile. "Don't worry, I will make sure you get the best bed and..." The prince stopped talking when the door opened. Lucas turned to see Phoebe, Chad and Gwen looking all dressed up.
"Going somewhere?" Lucas asked them.
Phoebe turned around to hide her amulet under her dress unknown to her that Lucas and the Prince were aware.
"We are going out to spend some time together, would you like to join us?"
"Gwen!" Chad and Phoebe chorused.
"What?" Gwen asked. "The more people there is, the more fun it will be." She clung to the arms of the Prince and Lucas as she pulled them along.
"Sometimes I feel Gwen is on drugs." Chad said.
"Good thing this is coming from you 'cos I was thinking the same thing." Phoebe said before they joined to meet Gwen and the guys.
