As soon as they got outside Tiffany saw Phonixa and Repellia were standing off to the side of the steps talking. "Look at those two, talk about dressing sexy," said Tiffany. "Their twins and very beautiful," said Aiko. Yes and their names are Repellia and Phonixa," said Tiffany. "Really, those are odd names," said Aiko. "Well they suit them, they are not normal human girls" said Tiffany. "Come and meet them." "Hi Tiffany, who is the new girl," asked Repellia. "This is Aiko, she is from the area where I came from," said Tiffany. "Well nice to meet you, my name is Repellia." "Nice to meet you also, my name is Phonixa. I love your skirt, you are tall for an elf." "Ya like Zatsuky and Viridian," said Repellia. "So are you living in the palace now or just visiting Tiffany?" "That I don't know yet," said Aiko. "I don't have much money left but maybe I could rent a room." You can't rent a room in the palace. It is free to live here. You just have to help out a bit from time to time," said Phonixa. "Free! That I can afford but I don't know what I could do yo help out," said Aiko. "My parrents wouldn't let me do any of the work back home." "Really, what are you a princess of something?" asked Repellia. "Yes I am, the Princess of Triland," said Aiko. "Really, your an elven princess, we have never met an elven princess before," said Phonixa. "What do you mean, Tiffany is a princess too from the town beside Triland," said Aiko. "That was supposed to be a secret," said Tiffany. "Only Ginger and Alieta knew that and Ivy of coarse, you can't hide anything from her." "Wow you are a princess too! That means that Sabrina is a princess also," said Repellia. "Oops I messed up again," said Aiko. "It has not been a good day for me. First I called Ginger a worker and got her mad at me, then I thought Safire was the palace jester and now I just let out Tiffany's secret." Both Repellia and Phonixa started to laugh. "That is so funny and hot completely wrong," said Repellia. "Ginger loves to work even though she is in charge of everything and Safire does not act like a queen at all. She is always joking around making people laugh. So is that crown you are wearing real?" "What do you mean my tiara?" asked Aiko. Ya is it real gold with real gems?" asked Repellia. "Yes it is, why?" asked Aiko. "Well it must be worth a few thousand dollars", said Repellia. "Sell that to the palace treasurer then you can go shopping with us in town plus flirt with all the boys." "Repellia, if you were a princess and owned a tiara, would you sell it to just go shopping?" asked Phonixa. "No your right, I would never sell it," said Repellia. "Sorry Aiko, my bad. But you can still come shopping with us, we have a palace account." "Well not now, I just got here, said Aiko, but there are boys here?" "Yep, just human boys but they are fun to flirt with," said Phonixa. "What do you mean just human boys. You two are humans," said Aiko. "Yes but we are special humans," said Phonixa. "I can make fire balls appear in my hands and throw them and my sister can move things with her mind." "See very appropriate names," said Tiffany. "Anyways you two we need to go see what is happening out front. I told Alieta we would meet them out here." "Okay, we are just waiting for Kandice and Karman, then we are going to town," said Phonixa.

Tiffany and Aiko went around to the front of the steps and Alieta stopped them. "I need to ask some important questions to Aiko," said Alieta. "I would like you to stay also Tiffany now that your secret is out." "You could hear us talking from over there?" asked Tiffany. "Yep, hybreed sprite ears much longer range than elf ears," said Alieta. "So you saw how Repellia and Phonixa reacted when they found out you two were princesses." "Ya, they looked surprised for a moment then they just talked to me like I was their friend already," said Aiko. "They wanted to take me shopping." Alieta smiled. "Yes those two love to shop but rarely but anything. They like looking and teasing the boys," said Alieta. "We have queens here and fairy princesses too and we all get along as equals. Now Ginger brought it to my attention that you may be in danger." "Danger why?" asked Aiko. "Well you stole a powerful weapon from your father," said Alieta. Don't you think he will want it back." "Ya but it has been distroyed," said Tiffany. "He doesn't know that," said Alieta. "Well I left while everyone was sleeping," said Aiko. "He doesn't know where to look for me. It took me three days to reach here." "Have you ever heard of trackers? People that can find just about anything or anybody no matter how far away they are," said Alieta. "We have one such person here that has tracked a person though the entire Bad Lands and found kid napped pixies miles away. You must of realised that by wearing that tiara, people would remember you when a tracker reaches here asks some questions." "I never thought of that," said Aiko. "Plus you probably left a money trail too, stopping to eat, feed and water your horse," said Alieta. "Oh no, so you think my dad is on his way here now?" asked Aiko. "Most definately," said Alieta. "Now these are things that Ginger brought to my attention and asked me to do my job as Queen." "Ginger cares that much about me," said Aiko. "We hardly know each other and our first meeting didn't go so well." "Yes she told me and feels very bad how she acted towards you especially after I told her your story," said Alieta. "The thing about Ginger is she has a huge heart and the smartest elf I have ever known. She is my best friend and the only one that can tell me to do my job and when she tells me that, I better do it or something bad is going to happen." "So what is it you are going to do as Queen? asked Tffany. "I am going to make sure nothing happens to this precious girl that save hundreds of elves lives and sacificed her own life style to do it. You are going to live in the palace. You can have your own room or share the room Tiffany has with her sister and Koko which I think would be more fun for all of you." Tiffany and Aiko smiled at each other. "As for your father he will be no match against the defences in place here, even if he brings an army with him," said Alieta. "Personally I would like to have a word with him and tell him the staff has been distroyed. Hopefully he will raise his sword to me and we know what will happen to him next." "Yep shot dead from the air by your sprites," said Aiko. "Then my mother will be free of him too and take over as ruler. She is nothing like my dad." "So I take it you want to live in the palace," said Alieta. "Yes yes please!" said Aiko all excited. "Good so with the powers given to me as queen I hereby welcome you as the newest resident of Fae Land," said Alieta. How was that for doing my job?" "Wonderful, said Aiko then she grabbed Alieta and gave her a big hug. "Oops, sorry, was it okay I hugged you?" asked Aiko. "Just fine, said Alieta. "There is nothing wrong with bringing two hearts together."

"Lets go tell my sister and Koko the good news then we need to get you some more clothes from the wardrobe room plus something for sleeping in," said Tiffany. "Do you think Sabrina won't mind me sharing the room with her?" asked Aiko. "She won't mind at all," said Tffany. "We just have to get you a bed to sleep in." "Ginger already sent two elves to put a bed in your room," said Alieta. "No one ever refuses living in the palace and she knew a bed was needed. You will have to share a dresser for now though. We need Lilly to come and create one for you. She will be here at supper time." "Okay no rush," said Tiffany. "Sabrina and Koko, come with us. Aiko is going to be staying with us and we need to get her set up." Both Koko and Sabrina walked over to them. "Is that Aiko?" asked Sabrina. "Yes I am Aiko. Wow you are pretty and really tall," said Sabrina. "I like your tiara!". "Well you can wear it if you want, we can share it," said Aiko. "Really! Okay Koko lets go, our family just got bigger," said Sabrina then grabbed Aiko's hand and took her towards the palace. "Very cleaver of Aiko," said Alieta. "Not really, every girl loves to wear a tiara," said Tiffany. "We both had one with diamonds and rubies but we will never see them again. Anyways I better catch up to them. Neither of them know where the wardrobe room is." Then Tiffany took off after them. Alieta walked over to Ginger. "So how did I do?" asked Alieta. "Just as I expected and even better," said Ginger. "So do you really want the father killed?" "He killed elves for greed and power," said Alieta. "He is no better than an evil wizard or demon. It sounds like he wouldn't think twice killing this own daughter and wife also." "Okay, I did the math and if I am right he will be here either late tonight or more likely some time tomorrow," said Ginger. "Really, that soon?" asked Alieta. "Well it took Aiko three days to get here and she has been here for over half a day now." "The father would of noticed the staff missing when he woke up along with his daughter and her horse missing. "From what you said about her leaving a trail, he won't even need a tracker to find her, just ollow the fresh horse tracks leaving the town then asking questions at every town he comes to. He won't come alone and I bet there will be at least thirty of them with him." "Wow you are smart, even smarter than I thought" said Alieta. "That math sounds correct." "Well actually I did no math except knowing how long Aiko said it took her to get here," said Ginger. "I filled Jasmen in and she took two of her fastest fliers to see where they are. She came back and told me where they were and how many. I'm just a worker, remember, I know nothing about war and battles." Alieta smiled. "Well worker yes but lots more than that," said Alieta then rubbed Ginger's head. "Hey, did you mess up my hair again?" asked Ginger. "Well I tried too but it looks the same to me," said Alieta. "Ya I rarely have to bush it," said Ginger. "Just shake my head and that is good enough. Maybe I have magic hair." "No you have trained it over the years, that's all," said Alieta.

After Tiffany and Aiko picked out some clothes in the wardrobe room they all headed to the bedroom. "These will do for now," said Tffany. "Tomorrow we can go shopping in town." "Can I go too?" asked Sabrina. "You have to stay here and keep Koko company," said Tiffany. "Open the door for us Sabrina, our hands are full." They all went in and Tiffany started putting the clothes away in the dresser. "I don't remember that being here before on the chair," said Aiko. "Looks like a stuffed animal. Is that yours Sabrian?" "Nope, I didn't get a chance to bring my dolls and fluffies with me," said Sabrina. Aiko walked over to the chair and sat on the side of the bed. "Very cute looking, it's a stuffed tiger cub, "said Aiko. "Maybe one of the elves in here left it for Sabrina." She went to pick it up but as soon as Aiko touched the cub, it's eyes opened then jumped up on all fours. "Um. it's not stuffed, it's alive," said Aiko. Koko ran over to the tiger cub standing on the chair. "Trigger! When did you get here?" asked Koko. "I don't know, where is here?" asked Trigger. "This is our bedroom," said Koko. "Hi Koko, you live in a bedroom now?" asked Trigger. "No, we sleep in here at night," said Koko. "Your in Fae Land now!" "Okay, where ever that is," said Trigger. "I was suppose to say something when I got here. I can't remember a lot of stuff other than you and the fairies plus playing a lot. Oh ya. Oh am for Aiko and something else. I can't remember the rest, what's a Aiko?" "I'm a Aiko, I mean my name is Aiko. You are for me?" "Yep, that is what Gabriel told me before I fell asleep," said Trigger. "I don't understand," said Aiko. "I'll tell you latter," said Tiffany. "Looks like we just got another Precious to stay with us. Hello Trigger, my name is Tiffany and that is my little sister Sabrina. Welcome to our family." I am part of a family now, does our family have a fairy to feed us. I am really hungry," said Trigger. We have something better," said Koko. "We have a dining room that makes really good tasting food, better than the fairies made us. Can I take Trigger there, please? Trigger is my best friend." "Well as long as you stay there until we come down to get you two, then we need to let Alieta know about Trigger," said Tiffany. "Okay lets go Trigger, follow me," said Koko. "Sally is really nice and will bring us what ever we want." "Really, is she a fairy?" asked Trigger. "Nope she is an elf waitress, way better than the small faires we used to have," said Koko. "Come on before you fall asleep and we have to start all over again." "Okay lead the way Koko," said Trigger then they both ran out of the room. "So Trigger is for me," said Aiko. "How did that happen. "Well it is a bit of a long story but a Precious come to those that lost something important to them like us two that lost our parents," said Tiffany. "Well my parents are still alive but I wish my father wasn't and I am worried about my mother," said Aiko. "Yes I know but I think Trigger is more for Koko seeing they were best of friends before they appeared here," said Tiffany. "Losing a best friend can be hard too. I think you are just her care taker. You just have to make sure she eats a couple times a day and doesn't get hurt. You know, just like a pet." "Oh, I can do that," said Aiko. "So Gabriel is the angel Gabriel wright?" "Yep she sure is, said Tiffany. I think it is going to be fun living here where there so much magic and wonders everywhere," said Aiko. "I just got to get used to it." I don't think we ever get used to it," said Tiffany. "Now lets get the rest of these clothes put away before those two drive Sally crazy."

Koko and Trigger went into the dining room that was empty at the moment. "Okay here we are, smells good in here doesn't it," said Koko. "Ya now I am even more hungry," said Trigger. "Well get up on a chair," said Koko. "We have to stand on them seeing they are made for big people. Everybody here is big that I have seen so far." Sally heard voices in the dining room so she came out of the kitchen and saw the two of them. "My goodness, there are two of you now," said Sally. "So what is your name little tiger cub?" "Trigger, Koko said you are better than a fairy and make real good food here and I am very hungry." "Yep a Precious has to eat as soon as they wake up after Gabriel sends them somewhere," said Koko. "What are the specials Sally?" "Well you are too late for the lunch specials and too early for the supper specials but I do have an idea that the both of you should like." "Well as long as it is not veggies again," said Trigger. "That is all the fairies could make with their wands. I am a tiger and Koko is a dragon. We are meat eaters at least I think I am, I can't remember right now." "Yes tigers are meat eaters and will eat just about anything else," said Sally. "What about I put a plate of speghetti and meat balls together that you both can share. You don't want to eat too much because it will be supper time soon and Lilly and Tulip will use their wands to make a nice big supper for everyone." "Okay, meat balls sound good but never heard of speghetti before," said Trigger. "Do you know what it is Koko?" "Nope but it must be fun food with a funny name like that," said Koko. Sally giggled. "Yes it is fun to eat and is very good for you also," said Sally. "I just have to heat a bit up and I will be right back." "Trigger try saying speghetti fast three times." "Are you kidding," I can barely say it once," said Trigger. "I can say meat balls three times fast though. Meat balls, meat balls, meat balls, meat balls". "That was four times," said Koko. "Oh, told you I am hungry. You know that name Lilly sounds familar to me," said Trigger.

"Alright, that will do for now," said Tiffany. "Once you get your own dresser we can switch things over. Now you two should go outside and see if Alieta is out there and I am going to check on Koko and Trigger. Koko can be quite funny by herself but now with two of them together, well I am not sure." "They are fine," said Sabrina. "Trigger was hungry and Koko took her to the dining room to get something to eat. Sounds normal to me." "Ya sounds fine to me also," said Aiko. "Stop worring so much." "Ya well I'm still going to check on them," said Tiffany. When Tiffany got to the dining room she found Koko and Trigger on the table eating speghetti from one big plate and Sally was sitting back on a chair watching them with a big smile in her face. "I take it you don't mind them on the table like that," said Tiffany. "I told them too," said Sally. "How else are they going to share and plate of speghetti and meat balls. It was them that didn't want to get up in the table until I put the plate down on the table and they got the sent of the sauce." "They are adorable, very wll mannered plus quite funny. They can come in here anytime when I am working. I just need to find something better for them. This table is too big for them. So how do you two like my speghetti and meat balls?" "Perfect and fun to eat," said Koko. "Yep you are way better at making food than our old little fairies." "Well looks like things are under control here," said Tiffany. Just send them outside when they are done. Alieta hasn't met Trigger yet." "Okay will do," said Sally.

Tiffany began to walk towards the dining room door when Koko said, "All done." "That was great, said Trigger, thanks Sally." "Yep super good, said Koko, thanks." "Well your both welcome," said Sally." "See very good manners." "Yes and look at the plate," said Tiffany. "Sally picked up the plate then looked at the table top. "Wow this plate is spotless, not a bit of tomato sauce anywhere and same with the table. You two must of been hungry," said Sally. "Well Trigger ate the most," said Koko. "She needed it the more but when it comes to food we don't waiste any. Not even crumbs." "Well then all I have to do is give the table a quick wipe and rinse the plate off then I am done for the day," said Sally. "So will I be seeing you two in the morning?" "Yep if it is okay with Tiffany and Aiko," said Koko. "Okay lets go outside now," said Tiffany. "You have to meet Alieta now." "Who is that?" asked Trigger. "She's the queen," said Koko. "Very nice and very tall too." The three of them headed out of the palace and found Sabrina and Aiko talking to Alieta. "Here they come now Alieta, how were they in the dining room?" asked Aiko. "Actually they were well mannered and I think Sally loves them both," said Tiffany. She gave them spaghetti and meatballs and they licked the plate clean." "Trigger looked at Alieta then looked at the steps. She ran up the steps then jumped on the stone pillar. "There now you don't look so tall to me," said Trigger. "Wow you are the biggest fairy I have ever seen." Alieta smiled. "Well I am not a fairy, said Alieta. "I am a sprite and sprites have wings too but we don't do magic." "Oh, okay, said Trigger. "Tiffany said I had to meet you, do I look okay? Can I stay? I want to stay, I like Sally too, she made really good food. Koko and I are best friends so I really want to stay." "Alieta smiled again. "Yes of coarse you can stay," said Alieta. "I am sure Tiffany just wanted me to see how cute you are," said Alieta. Looks like this family just grew at a fast pace. Do you all have enough space in that room?" "It's a real big room," said Aiko. "We have lots of room." The Precious pets don't take up much space at all." "Good, now tomorrow morning I need you all to stay in the palace. Have breakfast but go back to your room after," said Alieta. "There is going to be some trouble out front." "It's my Dad right?" asked Aiko. "Yes but don't worry, everything is under control," said Alieta. "My sprites are already keeping an eye on them and say they are about a days travel away yet." "So you were right, I did leave an easy trail to follow," said Aiko. "Yes and it is a good thing you did," said Alieta. "After tomorrow you won't have to worry about him again." "Your going to kill him?" asked Aiko. "Not if we don't have to," said Alieta. "I will give him pleanty of chances to leave peacefully." "That word isn't in his vocabulary," said Aiko. "He loves war just like his father did and his father before him. The only reason my mother got married to him was to save her people from being killed when they invaded the town. One thing about my Dad is he is a man of his word and never hurt anyone in my Mom's town. The town did have to become part of Triland that made his territory bigger." "I have dealt with his type before so just remember stay in the palace no matter what you hear," said Alieta. "Ginger will come and let you know when it is safe to come out. In the meantime stay out and enjoy the day. I am sure everyone is going to love to meet Koko and Trigger. Oh that reminds me. There is a fairy here named Lilly that said she knew a Precious named Trigger years ago. Does that name ring a bell with you? "Lilly is here! I remember now, she was very good at making tasty food with her wand and loved to play," said Trigger. "Well you will see her at supper time. Both her and Tulip make great food together," said Alieta.

"Sabrina, why don't you take Koko and Trigger over there and play," said Tiffany. Just no catch my tail, I don't want to give you another bath today." Okay, come on you two lets figure out something to play that won't get me dirty," said Sabrina. "Is that possible?" asked Trigger. "I don't know," said Koko. "If she gets dirty you can lick her clean like you always do to yourself." "Okay, good thinking," said Trigger. They then followed Sabrina. "I know she will get a bit dirty but at least she will try some to stay clean," said Tiffany. "Well the palace has lots of hot and cold water so don't worry about us running out," said Alieta. "When Lulu comes by she checks all the levels and fills them back up if needed. Her wand can make water unlike the fairies." "Lulu, who is that?" asked Aiko. "Here have a seat and I will fill you in with some of the amazing people that live in Fae Land," said Alieta. Safire was flying back from Eden with Casper when she spotted everyone outside of the palace. "Good there is some action happening at the palace this time," said Safire. "The new girls are there with Koko." "You haven't met them yet so lets see them first." Okay, Koko is the small green one on the ground right? asked Casper. "Yep, she is a Precious like I told you about," said Safire. "So is the little tiger a Precious too?" asked Casper. "Um, I guess so, I have never seen that one before," said Safire. They flew down and Safire jumped off of Casper. "Hi Sabrina. I brought Casper over for you to meet." Both Koko and Trigger ran behind Sabrina. "What is that? It is huge and has a pointy horn on it's head," said Trigger. "No need to be afraid," said Sabrina. "That is Casper and he is a unicorn. A unicorn won't hurt you." I never seen a real unicorn before. You are so magnificent looking." "Thankyou dear you are very pretty too," said Casper. Casper layed down on the grass so the two small animals would be less nervous. "Okay so if a unicorn won't hurt anyone then what is with the sharp horn?" asked Trigger. "That is for magic," said Safire. "Casper is very magical and can fly as you saw." "I like magic, said Trigger. I can fly too," said Koko. "Not that fast and not very high. My wings get tired fast, they are only little wings. Good for flying up onto a tree branch though and looking around." Koko whispered something into Trigger's ear that made her eye's open wide. "What did you tell her?" asked Safire. "Not much, just that you are the Queen of the Blue Fae and are super strong," said Koko. Koko said you were funny and told jokes too," said Trigger. "Can you tell me some jokes?" "I can, I love making people laugh," said Safire. Sabrina went beside Casper and began to pat him as Safire started to tell jokes.

"Tiffany and Aiko are looking over here so we better go over and let them meet you also," said Safire. "Okay," said Casper. "It was nice meeting you two, said Safire. We will be seeing a lot of each other now, my room is across the hall from yours." "Really, Casper has a bed in there too?" asked Trigger. "No silly, horses sleep on the ground," said Koko. "Have you got a nice soft carpet in your room like ours?" Safire smiled. "Actually Casper stays in the stable over there at night," said Safire. "Casper is too big to fit through the palace door." "Oh, I was wondering about that," said Koko. "What is a stable?" "Never mind Safire. I will take them over and show them," said Sabrina. That way they can see all the horses and I won't get dirty doing that." "Horses are in a stable?" asked Trigger. "Big ones like Casper?" "Yes but lets just go see and stay beside me. No running off," said Sabrina. "We won't," they both said together. Safire and Casper walked over to where Tiffany and Aiko were waiting with excited faces. "Here he is, said Safire. Just don't try and get on him, only I can ride Casper." Safire stood back and watched these two princesses adoring Casper. "Hm, mabe if I grew a horn I would get the attention that Casper gets," said Safire. "Not such a good idea, devils have horns and you don't want to look like a devil," said Tiffany. "Have you ever wished you had a unicorn?" asked Tiffany to Aiko. "I think every little girl wanted one and a fairy," said Aiko. "It's like a fantasy land here." "Well Fae Land is a land of magic and fantasy," said Safire. "You will see the most remarkable things here. It's never boring here that is for sure." Alieta want to talk to Safire about the up coming small army approaching so she called her over.

"Yes Alieta, what's up?" asked Safire. "I just wanted to let you know that there is going to be some trouble here in the morning," said Alieta. "Trouble, what kind of trouble?" asked Safire. "Well early this morning when Aiko first arrived she had a wizard's staff that she stole from her fater the King of Triland, said Alieta. Her father was using it to kill other elves from different clans. This made Aiko very sad and before going to bed she prayed to God to make him stop. Aiko said she had a dream that night and a voice told her to take the staff and bring it to the land of magic. Now I had Merlin distroy the staff but it took Aiko three days to get here and she didn't realise she was leaving a trail that could be easily followed." "Okay so if the staff is gone, there is nothing to worry about," said Safire. "Yes that is true but Aiko's father does not know that and put a small army together to get the staff back from his daughter once they reached here," said Alieta. Aiko never heard of Fae Land before and neither did her father so he probably is thinking that his daughter will be hiding in a small village." Safire smiled. "He is going to get a big surprise when he gets here," said Safire. Yes but Aiko said her father is very war like and won't believe the staff was distroyed seeing only a wizard can distroy it," said Alieta. "Jazmen has heen tracking them with a few other sprites and will be up above me when we meet. Jazmen will shoot him dead if he even raises a sword to me. Hopefully when the king is dead the army of elves will go back home. I will not have my sprites kill any elves. Jazmen will scare them off if they try to attack with two hundred armed sprites." "Look at you being your old self again," said Safire with a smile. "What do you mean?" asked Alieta. "Back during the great wars you lead and planned many battles and never lost and spared as many as you could," said Safire. Now you are doing it again and not using any of the heros to scare them off, just your winged army like the good old days." Alieta smiled. "There is one favor I ask of you. I want in on the plan," said Safire. "In what way?" asked Alieta. "I want to be standing beside you in my elf outfit with a nice shinny sword," said Safire. "I will say nothing but if Jazmen misses, I will cut off his head like an orc's." "Jazmen never misses," said Alieta. I know but at least I will have a sword to hold and look mean and dangerous and keep giving him dirty looks," said Safire. Alieta laughed. "Yes you can be by my side," said Alieta. "You could take care of all of them by your self but like I said I don't want any other elves killed." I know and would never hurt an elf. There is no elf alive that could even touch me anyways, including my own elves underground," said Safire.
