"How are we going to get out of here!" Luna asked.

"I'm not sure?" I answered.

"I might know how to get out of here." Twilight said, leading the way.

"You better, because I really want to get out of this stupid old building." Theo nervously said, shuddering.

"Yeah, this place is starting to give me the creeps." Lucas said, while looking at his surroundings.

    We followed Twilight into a room full of chairs and a large desk in front the chairs, which was maybe Alex's planning office.

      We all shrieked when we saw Alex and his bodyguards gathered and began discussing something.

  "Now listen guards, the princess of the fairies is still alive!" Alex yelled in frustration.

  "Is that a good thing or a bad thing?" One of the guards, who was maybe fifteen, asked.

"Shut up, Jason!"

"I was just asking a question, sir." Jason said.

"Well then it's a good thing." Alex said sarcastically.

"Really."

"No you bird brain!"

  "Anyways, the princess could be trying to get into the building and try to get her pity little friends back."

"Hey!" Luna yelled softly. Thankfully no one heard her.

"Ok guards! Time to get going. Keep those earthlings hidden." Alex said pointing to the guards.

"Yes, sir" they said.

"Jason, you stay here."

"What do I do then, sir."

"I have an important job for you."

"What is it?"

"Just sit there and think about what you have done during MY meeting."

"Oh, ok, sir."

Aw poor kid. I felt so bad for him.

When everyone left, Jason just sat there with his head down and his hands rested on his knees.

"What do we do?" I asked.

"We're going to talk to him and hopefully he can help us." Twilight answered.

"WHAT!" Luna, Theo, Lucas and I yelled quietly. "He is just going to blow away our cover."

"Well we will just have to hope for the best. Now come on."

We stepped inside and walked over to Jason without making a sound.

"H-hi." I said.

"Guards, what are you doing with these groundlings." Jason asked.

I forgot that Twilight and I were still morphed into the guards.

"Oh, um, Twilight what do we do? We are still morphed." I whispered.

"Just morphed back into ourselves again." Twilight said.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

I morphed back into myself again, while Twilight followed.

Jason raised up his head and sat in shocked.

"Princess?"

"Yup." I said.

"What are you doing here? Oh, this is not good. Alex is going to kill me."

"Just listen, we need your help."

"Me, help you? Why?"

"Because of the way Alex and those other guards treat you."

"Oh that..."

"We saw everything, Jason."

"..."

"Please."

"Fine, but only because I was a fire fairy guardian before."

"You were a fire fairy before!?" I yelled.

"Yes, I left everyone and my parents because I didn't think I fit in. And guess what, seems like I don't fit in here too."

"Why don't you think you fit in with the fire fairy guardians."

"Because I would always mess up or break something. Not to mention, I am VERY clumsy."

"Everyone could be clumsy at times. Just don't worry what people say, ok? This is your life not theirs."

"Thanks, but what if the king and queen doesn't want me back."

"Um... Jason, the king and queen is dead by your leader, Alex." Luna said.

"What! How!?"

"By a dead storm."

"I wasn't there. I was probably here cleaning the building. Man, I could have gone and stopped them from killing your parents, princess. Now I feel guilty for leaving the village."

"It's fine. I will make sure everyone welcomes you back onto the village." I said.

"You will really do that?"

"Yes, but only if you would help us get out of here."

"I will help you guys out of here. And I have a plan."
