Lanie ran down the hallway quickly. She was searching frantically for Andrew. She found him down by the cafeteria crying. "Why did you get so offended when Alex said she lost her husband and showed her necklace?"

"It is the fact that she thinks I'm not truly her husband," he said.

"Andrew," she said. "It wasn't that it was just she is suppose to wear it since she thought she lost you forever. We all did".

He looked at her. He was red around his eyes. He smiled at her. Her eyes told him she was telling the truth. "Andrew," Pandora said. "Can we go back?"

"Sure".

The dream faded. Andrew awoke in bed. "What happened?" he thought.

His leg was hurting at the ankle. The girls were sitting on the Lanie's bed giggling.

"What happened?" he asked

"How can you not remember just going to sleep three days ago?"

"My dream it just seemed so real," he said. "I remember rescuing the pixies like in my dream but Alex had a necklace that I don't remember".

"Well you can ask," Lanie said. She pointed to his chest.

He found his wife lying there. He looked at his wife who was just breathing deeply. He stroked her long brown hair then moved to scratching behind her ear. That woke her up. "Hey sleepy head".

"Hey honey glad you are finally, mornin' girls," she said.

"Hey Alex," they all said.

"What day is it?" she asked "I lost track".

"September fourth," Lanie said.

"Thanks".

"Now," Kristina said. "Andrew had something to ask".

She turned to him. "Uh, I had a dream and you were wearing a hidden necklace. Not one I gave to you".

She pulled one out. "This?"

He nodded. "Except the broken heart was on top".

"Let me explain it. Each thing is a different symbol. The heart represents the lost of a spouse. Becoming a widow. The star is the reunion of widow and spouse. It is rarely made".

"What are the lower ones?" Kayla asked

"The one on the left is a one, the right a seven," Andrew said. "Seventeen".

"The age I thought I lost you exactly. On the dot".

"Come on lets end this before anyone starts something that they will regret," Kristina said. "Get dressed. We have our first self defense class today".

"That's today?" they both asked. The girls nodded. "Oh god". The two got up quickly got up got dressed and ran to the cafeteria with the pixies and girls right on their heels. In the cafeteria it was crowded. The six fairies went over and sat in their normal spot. They were serving cold dry cereal.

"Oh yum," Diana said. She dove into the cereal.

"I guess I'm not going to eat that," Sou said. Everyone laughed.

"Here," Andrew said. He handed her his. "This stuff is flavorless".

"Thanks," she said.

There was a loud clap coming from Faregonda's chair. "Attention students," she said. She got it instantly. "First off I have a couple of announcements to make. First I would like to say we have a new head of discipline and self defense class teacher. First we would like to congratulate Professor Avalon for earning the right to be head of discipline while Ms. Griselda is on temporary unpaid suspension for abuse of her position. And to replace her as self defense we will have a new professor. Many of you may know her. Please welcome Ms. Melina". A teacher walked out beside the headmistress. It was Melina

"What?" Andrew asked angrily. He stood up. "Do you not remember what happened last year?"

"Andrew," Sou whispered worried. "You are embarrassing yourself".

"Oh yeah you are a sophomore," Melina said. "Can I meet you out in the hallway real quick?"

He mumbled something to himself and stormed out.

Kristina sighed and shook her head. "Sometimes I wonder if he has only partial control of his body and why you married him," she said.

"He can't have only partial control," Kayla said. "And honestly I saw this coming. I knew he would get pissed. While we were coming I saw her and Faregonda talking about teaching".

"Well," Lanie said. "We need to make sure that she doesn't do anything to any of us. After all she did beat him unconscious a couple of times so she may do it again. Or she may try to harm us because she hates all of us".

"Yeah," Kristina said. "Lanie is right. We may be targets unless of course she changed but she is the teacher of self defense. She could try to harm one of us during a lesson and as a lesson plan".

"Great," Alex said. "Just great one problem is bad enough but now two. How are we supposed to protect the Codex where ever it is and keep ourselves from getting hurt?"

"Lousy little… ugh," Andrew mumbled sitting back down. "Do you expect me to believe you? I swear harm my friends once and I will make sure that is the last thing you ever do". The girls looked at each other.

"Andrew I realize you are powered by anger and hate plus you are bonded to me," Pandora said. "But do you think killing her would be the answer?"

"Pan is right," Alison said. "You should try to be her friend. I can help you".

"Andrew will never want to be her friend after last year but you do need to calm down honey," Alex said.

"Ugh love," Diana said popping her head out of the cereal.

"Come on," Minerva said. "Class will start soon".

"She's right," Kristina said. "We should get going". The six students got up and headed off towards class, the pixies right behind them.

The first class was Self-defense and was quite humorous. Inside the students were waiting for the teacher. When Ms. Melina arrived she kindly said "Morning class".

"Morning Ms. Melina," all the students said.

She set her stuff on her desk and walked up to the front of the class. "Now class," she said. "Let's start with something basic. The enemy sent a basic attack towards you. What do you do?"

"Block it of course," one student said.

"What if you didn't know what kind it was?"

"Again block," Kristina said.

"Then try blocking this," the teacher said. She sent an attack that when it hit Kristina she turned to dust. No one gasped. They just all laughed. The teacher became confused.

"Behind you," a student in the back said. She turned behind her. Sitting on her desk was Kristina. Not a single scratch was on her. She smiled and waved.

"Ok now I'm confused big time," Melina said. They laughed harder. "What?"

"Nothing," Kristina said. She hopped off the desk and went back to her seat.

The rest of the day was normal. They went to several classes and at the end of the day did their homework and then hung out at Magix with the boys but on the way back Estella noticed a cut on Andrew's face. "Hey, where did you get that?" she asked

"I fell earlier," he responded.

"I don't remember you falling," Ariana said.

"I did".


"My masssster," a snake said. "We managed to bite two of the three fairiessss".

"Excellent," Darkar said. "They will come in handy soon but first we need to figure out where the Codex is".

"My lord," another snake said.

"What is it Wadjet?"

"We have found an old friend of yourssss," the snake said.

"Who?" A weird bird like creature flew in. "Aw yes my old pet. Tell me have you found the locations?" The bird made a noise. "What they are deeply spread out." The bird made another noise. "Oh they are at two of the schools and one is with the pixies and the final is on Earth in Reegens. It appears this may be a bit difficult". He looked at the Trix standing next to him then smiled. They smiled back.
