"Mum said there were some arrangments to be made..."

"You don't think...?"

"NOOOOOO!"

Chapter 4: Layla

Sparx Palace9:15

"Hello darlings." Miriam greeted us as we came in.

I wanted to get to the point straight away so I asked her why we were called here. Miriam looked surprised, I guess she wasn't expecting it as soon as we came, but what could I do? We were anxious to know.

"We are holding a ball this Saturday for Stella's 17th birthday. We need your help with the preparations and you will have to go to Earth to find the perfect present for her. But thats not why I called you here. You two are turning 19 next week and will soon have to live for our own. We just wanted to let you know we arranged a marrige and you two will be getting married on Stella's birthday. But right now you two have to go back to Earth." Miriam explained.

No we have an arranged marrige:( :( I hate arranged marriges. The thing we feared most has come true.

Grrr! Grrr!

"Can we have dinner first?"

"Bunny Boo-can you sense her?"

We had decided the best present for Stella was herself. You don't get it do you? Her twin. I had checked the Sparx computers for her location, and now it was up to Flora to do the rest. I followed her every step as we avoided Stella and looked for Layla. We had gone around a lot since we left Sparx last night. First we booked another hotel, then got some rest and woke up early to search. Right now it was 3:00pm and we were starving but didn't want to miss her and start all over again. Since 1:00am Flora had got several head-aches so I was wondering if we should take a break. Then, suddenly Flora stopped. She pointed straight aheand to a dark-haired girl with two plaits.

"Thats her."

Now we found her how do we tell her? Maybe we should follow her. I nodded and took the lead. We slowly crept behind her. We saw her go to the lunch bar, then to the park and finally home. Home? That gives me a great idea, all I have to do is remember the address then we can grab some lunch and start.

"Hey Flo, I got a plan."

Crunch! Crunch!

Mmmm...food on Earth is really good. I like cheese pizzas the best, I could have them every day (that is if I didn't have other favourites)! After explaining my plan to Flora yesterday, we posted something to Layla and she should be here any moment.

Knock! Knock!

I opened the door. Here she was.

"Ummmhhh...are you Bloom?" She asked me.

I nodded. And added, "Hey. This is Flora."

"Hello Layla. We have something important to tell you." Flora added.

"Tell me then." She said as she shut the door.

"You know how you're adopted? Well thats not all. You don't come from Earth." Flora said.

"What do you mean?"

"There is a magical universe out beyond the earth, with pixies, fairies, heroes, unicorns and much more. You see you don't come from Earth, but like us from a relam in that universe called Sparx. There are many relams neighbouring Sparx but Sparx is meant to be the land of 'peace'. You are one of the Sparx Princesses, like us. Me and Flora are twins, same like our two middle sisters-Musa and Tecna- are twins, and the youngest-Stella- has a twin that doesn't know she has a twin." I explained.

"You mean me?"

I nodded. She looked at us as if we were crazy. She shouted at us telling us we were lying but I said I could prove it. She said it was a bet.

"Ok then if we can show you we are not lying you come with us to Sparx, and if we can't prove it we leave you alone for the rest of your life. Deal?" Flora asked.

"Deal!" She said. "Alright allready-begin now!"

We smiled-this was going to be easy...

"OK...so how do we get there?"

Only a few minutes ago we transformed and proved to her fairies were real, and she agreed to come, after all it was a deal. She asked us how you turn to fairies to but we said we had no idea, it just came. We outlined the plan to her and she agreed it was the best plan she'd ever heard. Now all we had to do is make sure the portal goes right. You see, the portal sysem was going wrong, so Flora sensed. But Flora wasn't always right...so why not give it a go?

BLOOOOOOM!

What happened-the portal never made a sound like that before. I looked around.

"This doesn't look like what you described." Layla said, brushing her skirt.

"Of curse it isn't! Because this is not Sparx!"

I managed the 4th Chapter on time! Hooray! I thought this story doesn't have much action. So tell me if you want the action surprise in the next chapter or not-because if you don't you might end up having to read something you hate!
