Corinne tossed her sword into a rack and sighed. Long day.

She looked at her three friends waiting by the door "I'm coming. I promise."

Viveca smirked "We're used to waiting." she flipped her chocolate brown hair behind her shoulder.

Renee nodded "Yep. We're used to it. Now let's go!"

As they left the secret passageways, Corinne felt a strange sensation come over her. On instinct, she turned around and pushed on the brick that was the lever to the sliding wall. It didn't budge.

"That's weird." she muttered as she pushed on it harder. It still didn't move.

"Now what are you doing Corinne?" Aramina asked "Aren't you coming?"

"The wall won't open." Corinne said.

Renee walked back to the wall and tried to push in the brick. But as before, it wouldn't move "That is like a 9.7 on a weirdness scale."

Corinne nodded "What happened?"

VIveca shrugged "It's like the passageway just… disappeared."

"Come on!" Aramina called, running down the hall. They ran to all the passageway entrances, but none of them would open.

Corinne stared at the wall in confusion. She'd had some strange things happen in her life, but this was beyond weird.

Genevieve and Derek was walking towards the castle garden together, enjoying the sunshine and each other's company.

Genevieve sighed as she looked at the fountain, and pavilion that were surrounded by rose bushes. Her mother had planted this garden, it had been her favorite place while she was alive.

Derek smiled down at her "Beautiful, isn't it?"

She nodded.

Suddenly, the pavilion and fountain started to fade.

"What's happening?" she asked frantically "Why is it all disappearing?"

Derek shook his head "I don't know."

They watched as all the bushes and trees faded into nothing.

"Derek, something isn't right." Genevieve knew that was an obvious statement, but it was the only thing she could think of to say.

Liana laughed as she picked a daffodil and put it into her basket.

Alexa grinned "No seriously. No one in the village believes that we actually married those two!"

"Do you blame them?" Liana whispered with a smirk.

Jeremy and Ian were on the other side of the garden, grumbling about having to pick flowers, when they suddenly gasped.

Liana and Alexa looked over at them. There was a whole row of trellises lining the river, now they were all missing.

The two girls placed their hands on their hips "What did you do?" Alexa demanded.

"Nothing!" Ian insisted "They… They just…"

"You knocked then in the river didn't you?" Liana crossed her arms.

"No." Jeremy shook his head calmly "There wasn't a splash."

"True." Liana shrugged, letting her arms drop "So what happened?"

Jeremy shrugged "They just, disappeared."

Alexa snorted "Really? Can you come up with…"

"Alexa!" Ian suddenly called pointing behind them "Look!"

The girls spun around, their mouths falling open as they watched their entire garden disappear. Then their house slowly faded.

"I…I don't understand." Liana whispered as the boys walked up to them "What happened?"

Elina laughed as she flew around the Crystal Cove talking to her mermaid friend, Nori.

"So then we preformed the flight of spring and saved the bud!"

Nori shook her head "You never cease to amaze me." She chuckled "So, have you heard from Linden?"

"What!?" Elina exclaimed "Why on earth…?"

Nori cut her off "He was mentioned like, every other sentence."

Elina blushed "Oops."

Nalu, the merprince suddenly splashed through the surface "Nori!" he called "Something's going on in Mermaidia!"

"What?" Nori and Elina asked in unison.

"I don't know." Nalu answered "But it's bad. The coral has started disappearing, and some of the merpeople are missing!"

"That's awful!" Elina looked towards the magic meadow "I hope everything's okay at home."

'You go see." Nori instructed "I'm going to go back to Mermaidia."

Elina nodded then flew back as fast as she could. She was met halfway by Dandelion, her best friend "Elina!" she called frantically "The flowers are dying!"

"What!?" Elina gasped "Peony?"

Dandelion nodded "And now, some of the fairies can't fly!"

"Laverna." Elina said with a frown "How does she keep coming back?"

Dandelion groaned "I don't think so Elina. The fairies can't fly because their wings are disappearing!"

Elina's eyes grew wide "What is happening?"

Corinne sat down on her bed and sighed "Could this day get any weirder?"

Renee huffed "You ain't kidding! Who knew that a whole kingdom of buildings could disappear?"

"And some of the people." Viveca added.

"This is tragic!" Aramina sighed, falling back on her bed.

"We need to get some sleep." Corinne said, kicking her boots off "And hope that tomorrow is better." Her friends were sleeping comfortably by time she was finally able to doze off. As soon as her eyes closed, a strange pink mist flew through the window and surrounded her. She was slowly lifted from her bed, and then she vanished.
