Author's Note: *gasp* what's this now? Could it be? Perhaps a new story? Why, yes indeed! A new story of MBC! For more detailed, it is Dixxy's sequel to Shadowland! By the way, AWESOME story that one is. So if you haven't read that one go read it! It's amazing. Now, this story isn't linked to the Shadowland so it doesn't matter which story you read first as long as you understand what is happening. However, I strongly recommend you guys to read Shadowland. It's simply brilliant! Now here it goes:

Disclaimer: I, Blood-of-Silver, does NOT own anything from Dixxy's creation except for my own which will be mentioned later on. His creation include Shadowland, Emily, Wateria, Queen Lauren, Desmira, Mytylys, Phyros, Ulliga, the Dark Lord {Zythho}, King Faryan {the father of Emily}, Katie Minnie and so on…

Now we begin…

Chapter 1: A new Dawn

The weather was a cloudy one: not the usual cheery, sunny weather.

A sigh broke the sudden silent.

"You alright there, Samantha?" The unexpected voice caused her to jump in startle.

"What? Oh yeah-I…am…" Sam muttered.

"Okay…because all you ever do is just staring at the window…"

"Oh, it's nothing. I was zoning out, thinking of the previous last adventure."

Mr. Smith was clouded in a face of sadness. He remembered it all too well…how he had almost lost Cathy.

"So erm… have you heard anything from Queen Lauren or the Waterians?" Sam asked, trying to change the subject.

"No. I guess they really are busy…trying to clear out all the Dark creatures." He answered.

"Mmm…" A pause. "Is it okay if I make some tea? Do you want any?"

"Oh yes you may and no thank you. The tea bags are in the second cabinet." He replied then took off, leaving Sam alone in the dark-dim kitchen: the dark was made from the cloudy sky.

Sam grabbed the kettle and checked if there was any water. There wasn't so she grabbed a cup, filled the kettle and plugged in. She waited for it to heating but the waiting caused her to be in deep thoughts.

Emily who was the Princess of her planet, Wateria had her upcoming birthday. She was soon to be sixteen.

That's why the other three friends aren't here. They went to buy their gifts…on the last day. Unlike them, Sam already brought her gift.

They better came soon or else the rain will start soon. She thought.

Since Sam was once again deep in thought, she didn't heard that the front door entrance was opened, revealing a greeting from a very loud…person.

"WE'RE HOME!" The voice shouted.

The unexpected call made Sam to snap out of her thoughts, losing her balance and she fell to the hard kitchen ground on her butt.

She groaned in pain.

"Sam? What are you doing on the floor?"

She looked up to see her three friends, looking at her but her glaring was focused on Danny the most.

"I just decided to sit on the floor for no reason." Sam said, sarcastically.

"Oh okay." She groaned.

"What took you guys so long?"

"Traffic on the way to the Mall. Apparently, there was some kind of accident and then there were huge lines just to pay and-"

"Okay!" Sam raised her hand to silence Chris. "I get it."

He shrugged, placing his gift bag on the table.

"What did you get her?"

"Music box." Chris answered.

Sam smiled. She knew that Chris was the type of guy to be romantic. On the other hand, Danny was not…

"Some girl stuff: you know, bracelets…necklaces…" Danny responded, earning a surprise look on Sam's face.

Whenever Sam's birthday would come up, Danny is known to prank people. She remembered his prank and she did not forgive him the next day.

Yes, it was that bad and she didn't want to share it.

"I brought her snoloatic." Cathy said.

"Sno-what?'

"Snoloatic: kind of like an instrument but at the same time, it's not."

"Oh." Sam then made her way to her tea spot to finish the rest of her job. She inhaled the smell: she simply loved it.

It was Maple Power.

She was about to take a sip until Danny's voice interrupted.

"What's that?"

"Slime."

"Ew."

Sam rolled her eyes. "It's tea Danny!"

"Oh."

-Wateria, Aquatic-

Up ahead stood a beautiful Palace with many shines. The Palace is belonged to a young girl name Emily who is the Princess.

Wateria is ruled by her parents.

However, this particularly Princess is excited.

Why?

Because her birthday is coming. One more day to be exact.

She skipped through the luxury halls then through the Throne Room.

"Morning Father and Mother." She greeted.

"Good morning my little one." Her mother said as the two kissed their daughter.

"Why are you so cheerful in this bright morning?" Her father asked.

She grinned. "Tomorrow's my birthday!"

"So soon? Ah why indeed it is! Sixteen is the age you will turn into." The mother spoke. She nodded.

"Erm…why don't you go and play with your sister? Your mother and I…are busy…" Her father responded, stealing a quick glance at his wife who nodded as if she understood on what he was going to do.

"Alright papa. If that is what you wish." She turned and walked away, still excited for tomorrow.

The door got closed.

"How far are the people?" The King asked.

"They are almost done. Everything would be ready by tomorrow. I told them if they needed any help, but they politely refused." She sighed. "It is getting quite boring here, sitting here and doing nothing."

"I understand your…situation."

-The Garden-

Emily found her sister, picking some flowers. She sighed and smiled.

Just one more day.
