AN: wow umm this chapter went really adult, just a warning I guess. Hey I updated the ending of this chapter nothing else has changed so I guess you could just skip to the end.

There was a soft rap at the door and a royal guard entered Meredith's room, "Ma'am we have a problem. The prisoners she's cracked. She was talking to a bucket. Called it puck the fairy. Started asking to see it's wings,"
Anna sighed and placed her head in her hands. 'Stupid humans' she was struck with an intense burning rage to kill all mortals. She let the emotion pass and looked to the woman in the bed, "Meredith any suggestions?"
"I'm guessing she's never had a hard day in her life, let alone been in jail. She's feels expected to go crazy because she doesn't know how to react, these things were never supposed to happen to her. Put her in a guest room with some guards outside and tell her she'd under house arrest. If you have to explain it say it's a simple courtesy for a Queen. She should calm down in a few hours you can talk then,"
All eyes but the Queen's shot to Meredith, they had not expected such a concise plan.
Meredith smiled, "I'm also the Queen's adviser and someone needs to track down Skyler he's going to try and break her out,"
"After all she did?" Anna asked.
"He feels loyal to her. She's been loyal to him for all these years,"
"So do we let them see each other?" Anna asked.
"Not if you want them to still be a couple. They can see each other in the morning. I think rooms beside each other will work well,"
"What?" Anna had a quizzical look on her face.
"So they can talk though the walls,"
"I think your loopy," Anna quipped.
"Trust me," Meredith relaxed back into her bed.
Anna sighed Meredith in ten years had never been wrong, "Fine make it happen," Anna said to the guard, "And please bring them some better food," He quickly bowed to excuse himself and left the room.
"I'll give you sometime to socialized," Anna said to the Sky Dancers before leaving forgetting that Meredith was not their Queen.
"Trust me it'll work, I've been a physiologist for over ten years," Meredith said to answer the confused looks of the dancers.
"Umm I guess we should leave you alone to rest," Jade said unsure of where to go.
"NO! Wait," Meredith almost fell out of the bed to stop them from leaving, "This realm has all sorts of different rules than yours. No one will know you for hero's here and if you mention your from the the other realm you could end up dead. Really fast,"
"I just wanted to walk in the garden," Angelica said.
"Which one the South or North?" Meredith asked.
Angelica thought for a moment, "South,"
"That's the Queen's garden only. You'd be thrown in jail," Meredith said.
"What about the other one?" Jade asked.
"Is it Tuesday? At the end of the month? Did you come bearing gifts for the Queen? From your sheep farm?" Meredith replied.
"Your kidding right?" Breeze asked his eyes wide.
Sky Clone was rubbing his hand to his face, "No, she's right it's best we stay here, I can't risk anything happen to you,"
"My mind just exploded," Slam said.
"If you don't want anything to happen to us why have you been trying to kill us since we became the Sky Dancers," Jade asked.
"I never tried to kill you. If I wanted to I would have the day you became Sky Dancers when your powers were weakest. The only one I want dead is Skyla," Sky Clone admitted.
"And what about Skyler? Do you have plans to kill him too," Breeze demanded.
Sky Clone looked astonished "Enslaved maybe, but kill? Never. I couldn't get away with it,"
"So your telling me you never intended to kill any of us?" Angelica asked.
"I'm not going to lie I and say I don't dream about it," Sky Clone replied.
"That's sick dude!" Slam said.
"Isn't it?" Sky Clone said examining the nails on his hand. He moved to the corner of the room and began to set up a complex tile game.
"Maybe we should check on Skyla?" Jade said uncertainly.
The dancers looked to Meredith for advice, "What?"
"Your a physiologist and the Queen's advisor you got some advice for us or what!" Slam demanded.
Meredith rolled her eyes, "I'm a pathological liar,"
Breeze snapped he launched himself at Meredith aiming for her throat. The blanket she had pulled towards her turned into a wall of water, stopping Breeze in his tracks. All her charm had disappeared her voice cold, "Don't mess with me,"
"What you got two faces or something?" Slam asked.
"No, I'm a genius who's pissed off that after her three days of work has to remain in this hell hole watching a bunch of snot nosed kids,"
"So what your saying is your not a pathological liar," Sky Clone piped up still playing with his tiles.
She shot him a glare, "I'm extremely pissed that year after year I have to spend three days of my life working for a God that's too busy as the Angel of Death. You take people's souls see how much fun you have!" Meredith shouted her voice horse. She pulled up the blanket as far as it would reach as if it was a means of escape.
But Breeze wasn't done he ripped the blanket off the bed. Meredith sat back up an arm across her ribs. "Listen I have a broken rib and while it's not the first time it is still excruciatingly painful, I would like to go to sleep," She tugged the blanket back a little bit.
"No! You listen to me!" Breeze boomed his voice echoing around the room.
Meredith looked at the five pairs of eyes that stood around her bed, four were scared. She took a deep calming breath only to choke it hurt to take shallow breaths why would a large one be any different.
"I'm sorry, I'm in a lot of pain right now. I know that's not an excuses but there's something I have to explain. There are a lot of ancient spirits at work in this realm they never die or move on because they have been selected to be the perfect guardian, being, whatever for all of time. The Queen you see, is a five thousand year old spirit. She was human once but now her energy is weaker," Meredith paused to sigh, "and she always needs to be tied to a human,"
Sky Clone snapped around in his chair. He saw the blue marking slowing making their way up Meredith arm like a henna tattoo.
Meredith laughed, "Are you eating my cookie?"
Sky Clone didn't answer but chewed the remaining evidence slowly. He sat in his chair stunned. He knew what he had to do.
"It's alright is their another?" Meredith sat up straighter in an attempt to peer onto the plate.
Sky Clone passed the plate over there was one cookie left. Meredith used her slender hands to grab the plate and the cookie.
She was surprised when the next sound in the room was Sky Clone dropping to the floor in worship.
Meredith chewed her cookie thoughtfully thinking of the right words, "Rise humble servant,"
Sky Clone sat up but he still remained on the floor, "This means you two are the rein of sisters,"
Meredith cocked an eyebrow, "Right," She said sarcastically "You realize the council is still in the selection stage," Meredith felt the familiar burn as the blue design flowed back to it's source a blue band on her ring finger.
"I think you lost it man," Slam said to Sky Clone.
Sky Clone shot Slam a 'your-lucky-I-didn't-already-kill-you' look. "In respect to my mother's memory, I will pay respects to her greatest hero and hope for the future,"
"Sky's dead?" Meredith asked shocked.
"They told me she drowned. That she was swept off a boat," As Sky Clone was saying the words he knew they weren't true.
"Well you know her story, and your father often made times difficult for her. Do you really think she would want to stay?" Meredith asked.
Sky Clone stood up, "I guess it makes the abandonment a little easier," He said before leaving the room.
"That's rough. I almost feel bad for the guy," Camille said.
Skyla was sitting on the floor of her new room, needless to say it was infinitely nicer. Not as grand as her bedroom in the palace but nicer than her one on Earth, where she couldn't afford such luxuries. She looked around admiring the room, but she didn't see a spot of green which was really a shame.
"Listen I didn't do anything!" Came a cry from the next room.
Skyla startled to hear the familiar voice.
"You have no reason to arrest me!"
Skyla became ecstatic, that was Skyler!
"Did you or did you not attempt to break out your wife from our jail," An unrecognized voice said.
"Well- I," Skyler scrambled for an excuse.
Skyla heard a door slam shut hoping the guards were gone she rushed to the wall, "Skyler!"
Skyler spun around in his room he swore he heard his wife.
"Skyler it's me! I'm on the other side of the wall," Skyla's voice was muffled.
"Hold on I can barly hear you," Skyler yelled. He began searching the wall trying to find a hollow spot. There was a crash and Skyla's voice came though clearly.
"Skyler there's a vent at the bottom,"
It took him a moment to find it. It was a small vent in the centre of the left wall at the bottom. He pulled at it for a moment, it gave away easily. There was a plume of dust that flew up and attacked both their lungs and created dual coughing fits.
When the dust died down Skyler was delighted with a small sight of Skyla mainly her blonde hair and an eye but it was enough. They instinctively reached their arms though the vent. There hands gripped each other. They just smiled at each other for a while remembering the good times.
Skyler laughed, "How do you always manage to get into trouble and drag me with you?"
Skyla's heart melted it was so great to hear Skyler's laugh again, "Just lucky I guess,"
Skyler laughed again, "You know Wingdom law says your supposed to be obedient as a wife and a Queen,"
Skyla froze she was waiting for Skyler to reject her, "And I'm not," Her voice quite. She could just see the edge of Skyler's face he was smiling "I, wouldn't have it any other way,"
Skyla was speechless she felt her heart swelling with love. She didn't know how to respond. "Skyler my arm hurts,"
Skyler dropped her hand, they sat up leaning on the the centre wall. They were quite for a few minutes.
Skyla was just glad to be near him again, Skyler's mind was on a different track, "I want to fuck you,"
Skyla tried not to blush they'd never called it fucking before, "Me too," She smiled glad they weren't facing each other. "So what does fucking involve?" Skyla asked liking the the sound of the word on her tongue.
"I'd start with tearing your clothes off. Throw you on the bed, run my hands down your beautiful naked body, your breasts, get you wet, touch your-"
"Skyler stop," Skyla's voice was urgent.
"Did I say something wrong?"
"No, but don't say things like that unless you instead to go though with them,"
Skyler looked though the vent he caught a glimpse of Skyla's thigh, "But I do,"
"I mean unless you can go though with them now,"
Skyler could sense the desperation in her voice.
"I'll stop but I fully intend to pick up later," Skyler warned.
"I had a dream about us," Skyla said changing the subject.
Skyler's ears perked up, "What kind of dream?"
"An erotic one,"
Being a man he was dying to know, "What happened?"
Skyla smiled smugly. There was no way she was letting him in on her actual dream that was hers and hers alone. She began spinning her own tale, using material from the books she'd picked up over the years.
"Wow," Skyler said tugging at his collar. He attempted to cross his leg but stopped when he realized it was painful. He hadn't expected anything like that from Skyla. He considered their brief time together there was no way she'd learned any of that from him, "Skyla can I ask you a question?"
"Ya?"
"Where did you learn that?"
This was the only flaw in her plan she had to be honest with Skyler about their marriage but didn't want to admit she'd been reading books that contained little more than one sex scene after another.
"If you were with another man it's OK I don't blame you. I was gone a long time. You probably thought I was dead,"
Skyla relaxed he'd changed the subject though this one wasn't much more comfortable, "I had a boyfriend for a week he was an old friend, but we broke it off when his dance company moved on to next town,"
"What was his name?" Skyler wasn't sure why he wanted to know.
"Clay. I think you've met," Skyla said trying to recall.
"Yes he had dreadlocks didn't he?" Skyler's heart twinged, Clay was a good man.
"Yes,"
"So why didn't he steal you away?"
"Skyler we only had our reunion a year ago when his show brought him to town. We dated for a week then his show had to move on. We planned to meet for drinks next time he was in the area. It's no big deal,"
"So your still mine?" Skyler asked hesitantly.
"If you'll have me,"
"Why didn't you move on?"
Skyla thought of all the times, she saw Skyler's ghost it gave her hope, anytime he saved her, held her. She knew he couldn't be gone, "I had my reasons,"
Skyler lapsed into silence.
"I never slept with anyone else if that's what you wanted to know. I think Clay and I maybe kissed once,"
Skyler's smile returned leave it to Skyla to remain faithful after five years. His signature grin on his face, "So Skyla where did you learn that stuff from?"
"I'm not telling,"
"Come on it wasn't from a guy were you practising by yourself?"
Skyla turned tomato red, he'd just asked if she masturbated. "Good night Skyler,"
"I'm sorry I didn't mean it to come across like that,"
"Good night Skyler," She said firmly. She stood up and walked to the bed.
Skyler cursed he'd never recover from that one, he kicked himself for being so stupid he really hadn't meant it like that and now she was going to bed leaving him alone. There was a thunk from Skyla's side. He looked though the vent her beautiful hair was spread out on a pillow, the rest of her covered by a blanket.
He smiled she wasn't leaving him she had made a bed on the floor so she could sleep next to him. He blew her a kiss before doing the same.
Skyla rolled over to face Skyler, "I got that from a book,"
"I have a feeling I'd like to read this book,"
Skyla rolled her eyes, typical guy. She closed her eyes when an idea came to her, "Skyler check if your doors locked,"
Skyler looked at her, "Why?"
"Because floors were never meant to be slept on,"
Skyler still didn't follow.
"Just get up and go check your door, if it's locked try the window,"
Skyler did as was asked and opened the door surprised it was unlocked. Then he saw why there were two guards outside of Skyla's door he would be spotted if he left. They looked at him for a moment, "Just needed a bathroom," Skyler lied.
"There's one in your room," A guard replied.
"Oh is there? That's handy," Skyler said and retreated back into his room. He then tried the window. It was locked but from his side, he lifted the latch and flew out. He tried Skyla's window but it was locked as well, surely by the same mechanism. He wrapped softly. Skyla appeared a moment later she looked sleepy. He pointed to the latch and waited until she opened it. He then sneaked inside.
"Brrr it's cold out there," Skyler shivered. He waited till she closed the window before showering her with a thousand kisses. Both Skyla and Skyler were both exhausted they did their best to remake the bed before falling into it. Skyler hugging Skyla. They were out cold a minute later.
It was the middle of the night and a woman in a grey cloak stood alone in a hallway. She was waiting for someone. She could hear him slowly walking towards her.
"Tuck your hair in would you? You look like a glowing beacon," The large man said.
"Right," She said obliging tucking in a lock of blonde hair under her hood. "Is that it?" She asked looked at a large black box the man was carrying.
He nodded in response. They began to walk to the nearest window. "You know your much different than Skyla,"
As if to prove it the woman took the machine and dropped out of the window falling fifty feet before spreading her wings and flying back up. She had a wicked grin on her face.
The man flinched, "God your like a an angel of light," He was shielding his face from her pale pink gossamer fairy wings which refracted all the light thrown at them. She concentrated for a moment her wings turned crystal clear.
"Are we going to do this or not?" She asked reaching for his hand, helping him onto the roof.
Skyler was startled awake from several loud booms and flashing lights that were visible though the window.
Skyla wasn't quite awake yet she tumbled out of bed tangled in the blankets hitting the floor, "How long have we been asleep?" She grumbled.
"An hour," Skyler replied. He was looking at the lights. He really didn't want to tell her this, "Skyla we're under attack,"
AN: ya sorry if that was weird, I mean they are married and everything, ... I dunno ...
Enough suspense for you?
