~Xura~
Me: Okay. So the wedding will start at 6:00, and the reception at 7:30... I was thinking that maybe we could have an engagement party at 4:00 where I give my excuse for being here... Even though it's kinda obvious I've been kidnapped...
Sally: Sounds pretty fair to me... But you better not pull anything, or there will be, like, consequences. How do you feel about a mask party? Me: You couldn't have masked for anything better! Yes a mask party will be perfect. Especially for the plan...
Sally: O.o okay...She left. I guess she doesn't appreciate puns... Oh well.
I maneuvered through the castle until I reached the dungeon doors. I opened the secret hatch leading into the underground tunnel.
It was lit with a few torches and there was many pathways. Luckily, Jake knew his way around here, and he was coming around the corner.
Jake: So is the plan in action? Me: You can always count on me. Jake smiled.
Jake: Let's go tell the others... We have plans to discuss. We walked through many different tunnels until we reached the place where the whole "team" was camping out.



Jake: The plan has begun. We set up a negotiations table. Which I have no clue how we got.
Me: There's going to be an engagement party at 4:00. I need all of you to play your part. If Sally or the trio recognizes any of you it could compromise the misson. We're a team, and we can't let anything past us. Jake: But before we start, I wanted to pass out a few things me and my dad made in case we were in a desperate situation... But no one must know! Jake gave us small things that fit in our ear. He calls them “ear communicators” or for short “coms”. It's pretty cool.
Me: Jake. This technology is way past our time. Jake: Yeah do me a solid and don't tell anyone about it. Something about saving the world one day or whatever. Everyone nodded and attached it to our ears.
Jake: Press down on it when your talking, and let go when your listening. We practiced. For an hour.
Me: Everyone got the hang of it? They all nodded.
Me: Okay. Let's start. Cassandra and Silver. Your job is to act like your someone important. A good friend of mine. Cass, your name will be Red rose... Your an archer that saved me in the woods one time. Silver... Your name will be Santaya, your an ironsmithe that forged my father's sword. You both need to be 3 feet behind me at my right and left. We have to appear to be great friends, which we are, and talk a lot.Cassandra: Yeah I'm good at the talking part. Silver: Do I get to carry a hammer around as my ironsmithe tool? Me: Yes. You'll both need a weapon. Silver: Cool. Cassie: What's my weapon? Me: Your an archer. You get arrows. Matthew: *murmurs in the dark* heheheh weapons... Everyone: O.o
Me: Okay.... As I was saying, when I'm about to make an announcement, your job is to take out the guards Sally will put around me with your weapons. Then, both of you need to grab my wrists. I'm going to act like I want to stay, because I need to look like I'm actually being kidnapped. Lizzy: That's clever. Me: Thank you, I know, I'm brilliant. Jake: Won't there be a bunch of guards after us? Me: Absoulutely. I'm getting to that though. Jake, you will attend as a servant. We need the guard count and additional securities.Jake nodded.
Me: Now, when we're on the run and the guards are chasing us, I want Matthew and Ace to cause a distraction in their get-away. Matthew, your going to stop and challenge one of the guards to a duel. I threw him a sword.
Me: Ace. Your going to wait to the side until Matt requests the challenge. Then, I want you to argue with him but not let the soliders pass, becoming an excellent distraction. Lizzy: Wouldn't I be better fit for that part? Me: Actually, you have an even more important job. You are maid Lefifi. And you have to take 1 large gray rolling, with wheels, laundry bin and fill it halfway with clean clothing. You'll be just around the bend and we'll hide away in the clothing bin while the distraction is set. You'll bring us to the laundry shoot. We'll slide down and sneak to the dungeon. Everyone set? We all nodded and did a team cheer. I quickly raced back upstairs. I had to put on the wedding outfit that I was going to wear.
On my way up to my suite, I bumped into Emma.
Emma: Your supposed to be preparing. Me: I was. I just needed to get a drink. Emma: I don't believe you. Where are your servants?
Me: OBVIOUSLY, waiting for me unsuspiciously I slipped through the doors to my room before she could vocalize another syllable. What? I was getting tired of “before she could say another word”. I needed something creative. Anyway, I began preparing myself.
It's 3:30... Time to put the plan into action. I stepped out of my room and went down to the ballroom. Prince James stood at the high table of the ballroom. But of course, Sally was in the middle... Which really made no sense at all since this was for me. There was a high podium on the wall where you came in, the perfect place for an announcement. I touched my com.
Me: it's go-time people. Silver, Cassie, change and make your way over here. Lizzy. You do that too, get to maid duties and find a laundry cart when the time is right. Jake you need to be here and start getting some numbers on those guards. I let go of my com. and I walked over near the main table.
Me: Hey. James reached for my paw and kissed it.
James: Your just as beautiful as when I met you.
Me: James. We just met yesterday.James: and your point is? I fake laughed like I was actually enjoying myself. Wish me luck.
~Lizzy~

Wow. I look different. Check out this dress! I really like the blue hair though. I totally rock this maid thing. Maybe I should have a career change.
Silver, Cassie, and I left right away. I went upstairs looking for a laundry cart I could use when all of a sudden, someone tapped my shoulder.
Bella: What are you doing here? Me: I'm the maid. Bella: Oh really? because my room could really use a clean up. Me: I was just looking for a laundry cart. Once I find one, I can take some stuff down. Bella: Isn't there one in the maid closet? Where's your key? Me: That's the thing... Oh no, I had to think quickly.
Me: See, I kinda, sorta, lost the key in one of the laundry bins. Bella: Ugh. Maids today are so incompetent. I'll let you into the closet, then head to my room on the 3rd floor. Me: Okay. I let her lead me to the closet door and open it up for me.
Bella: Find your key. I expect my room clean by tonight. Me: Very well, enjoy the ball. She turned around and started walking away... I saw something that caught my eye. In the back pocket of her dress, she was carrying a folded paper. On it was marked “Strategy”.
Me: *holds down com* I see something that may be vital after-misson info. Jake: Look into it right away. Do whatever it takes to get it. Me: Princess Bella! Bella: What is it?Me: Could you give me a hand with this cart? It's stuck. Bella: I typically am not so generous to peasants, but I suppose I can humbly grace you with my service. 
Talk about spoiled.
We pulled the cart out of the closet and I stealthily slipped the sheet of paper out of her pocket, and into a pocket on my dress.
Me: Thank you, your majesty. Bella: You are most welcome. And you should be thankful Princess Bella has even graced a worthless villager such as the likes of you. Oh wow. Yeah, I'm sure "graced".
{When Ace, Silver, Cassie, Jake, Xura, Lizzy, or Matthew speak out of context. It does not mean that they are with the character speaking. They are speaking over their coms}
Ace: Wow. She sounds just.. Xura: Lovely. I laughed under my breath, and began calmly taking the cart downstairs.
~Jake~

I'm looking at Xura and that stuck up snob Prince James. I rolled my eyes and came near them with a tray of water. Xura grabbed a glass and James reached out for it. I pretended to trip and spilled the water all over him. His whole outfit was soaked.
Xura: Omipotatoes! Are you okay?!She helped him up and gave me a glare.
Me: I'm so sorry sir. James gave me a sideways glance.
James: it's okay. Xura took a towel and tried to dry him off. James grabbed her hand and kissed it.
James: There is not a woman as caring and compassionate as you. I actually saw Xura blush as I walked away. I pressed on my com.
Me: You can't actually be falling for this loser Matthew: Oooo! It sounds like somebody's jealous. Ace: Afraid of a little competition? Xura: Guys, come on. Matthew: I think Xura might like him. Lizzy: I totally agree. Ace: He is more... Charming. Jake: That's enough. Don't you all have jobs to do? Silver: Yeah but it's a lot more fun to make fun of you! Cassie: Can't argue with that. Jake: All of you are so immature. Matthew: Xura and James sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G! Jake is not invited to go see! Jake: Your ridiculous Matthew. Xura: Guys. Jobs. Get to them. I started counting the guards. There were 4 monitoring each exit and 4 on each side of the podium. And at the main table there was one guard at the left, and one at the right.
Jake: There are ten guards. Not to mention Sally's spies. I've seen them before. I'd say there are about 5 of Sally's spies, 3 of Emma's, 2 of Bella's, and 1 of Amy's. So... 11 spies. Lizzy: So we're dealing with 10 guards and 11 spies? Matt: Wow. That sounds like a sinch. Ace: Your sarcasm is so overrated. Lizzy: I like it. Cassie: You guys are a weird couple. Lizzy: No we're not! Jake: Is this really the time to discuss this? Cassandra: Jake your such a party pooper. Me: Well... I'm kinda worried about Xura. Ace: More like Jealous. -_- Wish me luck with this crazy group.
~Cassandra~

I look awesome!!! I'm probably the coolest looking dog here! *ahem* of course.. Because I am. Anyway, Silver and I just crashed this party, bro! Well... Not really but technically we weren't invited. I saw Xura talking to that prince guy, so I walked over.
Me: Uh... Hi.Xura: Hey... Don't I know you from somewhere? She gave me a look that was almost like a signal.
Me: I think i may have saved your life once in a um... Uh... Xura mouthed the word forest.
Me: In a dark alley! She looked like she was about to facepalm herself.
Xura: Oh that's right! Your name is Red rose, right? Me: You remembered! I was just winging it because I can't remember any of my lines. Just then, I saw Silver otherwise known as "Santaya” come our way.

James excused himself for a moment. So it was just me, Xura, and Silver.
Xura: We have to look like we're talking the whole time. Silver: Well that should be easy! So we talked for a while until Emma came by.
Emma: Sally wanted to warn you again that if you try to escape, she will destroy your village. Xura: -./) Thanks for the reminder. Don't you have people to boss around? Emma rolled her eyes and stormed off. So for 2 hours, nothing really happened. Then, Xura went up for a speech. Silver and I followed her... But we were blocked off by the guards! Xura noticed and so did Jake.
Jake: We have a problem. Things aren't going according to- Just then, I saw two ninjas hop down from a chandelier! They grabbed Xura and rushed down the hallway.

Jake: Who in the world is kidnapping Xura?! That weird exclamation point that pops over the character's heads in cartoons appeared above Xura's head.
There was a big flash, and before we knew it, Jake, Silver, and I were grabbed by more ninjas. We were in the hall before I knew it. The two ninjas who had grabbed Xura pulled down their masks.
Jake: Heather and Amy?!
