Lacy's POV

I was walking to the game room after a bathroom break to see Nabu opening Amanda's room door. I was getting ready to warn him when the door opened. Pie cream and small dark objects splattered all over Nabu and me. Knocking Nabu into the wall behind him.

"What the hell?" Nabu asked. Everyone ran to the scene, the girls doubled over with laughter automatically while the boys took a minute to assess what happened before laughing as well. Two minutes later Josh stopped laughing.

"Wait. Was that meant for me?" Josh asked. Amanda stopped laughing.

"Uh, yeah, heh." Amanda gave him a small smile. Josh bent down and scooped up some of the cream and dark spots.

"Josh. I swear." Amanda spoke taking a step back. Josh smirked and threw it at her only for Amanda to duck and it hit Riven.

"Oh. No bro. Not gonna happen." Riven reached down and threw some of the goop at Josh only for it to hit Musa.

"Oh sorry baby." Riven started to apologize only for Musa to throw some at him, for it to hit Flora and Helia at the same time. Before anyone knew it a fight broke out, for a while we threw the cream at each other before Stella stopped and screamed.

"Roaches!" The guys jumped.

"Kidding they're fake!" Amanda laughed at their horrified looks.

"Come on 'Mand I think it's time for you to be punished." Josh and Sky said at the same time. Both boys grabbed Amanda and tossed her into the giant cream mound that stood from the floor to the ceiling. Amanda seemed to be swallowed by the gunk. Not two seconds later the gunk came to life, like the giant gelatin monster off of Phineas and Ferb. Only Amanda was still nowhere to be found. The monster seemed to freak everyone out. The boys took out their weapons and stepped in front of their girlfriends.

"Hey uh, Bloom, is that natural for this to happen?" Faith asked.

"Um, no." Bloom spoke her voice quivering.

"Bloom whatta feel?" Nabu asked. Bloom shut her eyes.

"Nothing Amanda must have lost control or went darkex on us with it back firing." Bloom answered. I remembered a conversation Amanda and I had. Flashback

"Lacy we are connected in a weird way. The darkness that runs threw our veins connects us." Amanda spoke.

"Cool. But. Why are you telling me?" I asked. We were setting in the back of the OWL there we could see the sun set.

"If I loose control, you can speak to me. You can guide me back. The girls have a way of getting me back but, its dangerous." Amanda answered.

"How?" I wondered.

"They send of their most powerful attacks and hit me head on. It can stun my darker side and give me time to get control." Amanda answered hesitantly.

"I can guide you back? But Faith is the balance wouldn't she be able to?" I asked.

"Right now I am the good and the balance, but when I loose control, it's like I loose my grip on realty. I'm not me. I'm a monster." Amanda answered before leaving the room.

End of Flashback

I focused my energy. Then it's like my world whirled around me. Then BAM! I was standing in a darkened room. All alone

Amanda, can you hear me? I whispered the sound echoed through the room as if it were empty.

Lacy? The voice sounded weak, barely a whisper, then there she was, blonde hair whirling around her a long sleek blue and silver dress covering her.

Amanda! I did it! Wait no time for celebration. You need to get control of yourself before you hurt someone.

I'm trying. But it's useless to fight. So much negativity. The voice sounded broken.

No. You are a fighter, you can do this. Positive thoughts. Focus on Josh, Bloom, Sky, Flora, Helia, Riven, Musa, Tecna, Timmy, Brandon, Stella, Layla, Nabu, the boys, Faith, Amber and… and…. And me. We need you Amanda. Your son needs you. You are a fighter. I spoke in the everlasting darkness.

The world whooshed by again and I looked up to see Faith and Amber looking at me worriedly.

"Lacy are you ok?" Faith asked.

"Yeah, a new trick I learned." I nodded. Amber and Faith didn't seem to buy the excuse but they nodded slowly. I looked at the monster.

"Amanda! You are a fighter!" I shouted. A bright light absorbed the monster and everything was spotless. No more mess. A blonde headed girl lie on the floor. Everyone ran over to her.

"Amanda. Amanda can you hear me?" Josh asked worriedly. Amanda's robins egg blue eyes opened.

"Ugh. So much negativity." Amanda moaned. I smiled.

"You did it Lacy. You did it." Amanda smiled at me.

"She did what?" Sky asked.

"We both have the power of darkness, or darkex as you guys call it. But when she goes all dark ninja on us, I can talk to her and pull her back into reality." I said proudly.

"That can come in handy." Stella smiled.

"There is a catch as well." Amanda spoke up. I froze. She didn't say anything about a catch to my cool new gift.

"Why do I think I won't like this?" Alex asked.

"What is it?" Faith asked.

"She can also pull me into a darkex outreach." Amanda answered.

"So as long as I'm not evil, evil we're good right?" I asked. Amanda gave me a smile and nodded.

"Ok I think this calls for a shower then a celebration!" Sky shouted everyone gave a light laugh before walking to their rooms.
