"Okay, so, are we all set for Plan A in Operation : Make Felix Smile?" Jenna asked as she watched Mia and Sheba finish putting decorations up around the house.

"All set Jenna. Everyone should start arriving soon." Sheba said as she tacked up the last spider to the wall.

"But one question. Where's our so called guest of honor?" Mia asked as she walked over to Jenna.

"It's all taken care of." Jenna said with a mischievous smile.

"I'm surprised he hasn't made you pay for any of this yet." Sheba said with a laugh before falling off of the ladder. "Oww…"

"I am too, now that she mentions it. Piers has been keeping him at bay all month now. And you haven't paid a dime." Mia said before something struck her. "What did you threaten him with?"

"His life, naturally." Jenna said with a large grin that would shame the Cheshire cat himself.

"What if Felix figured out that something was up? You haven't played one trick on him all month that I know of. You've been here most of the time." Sheba said as she picked herself up off the floor.

"That's what I have Captain and Cadet for." Jenna said, only to earn two puzzled looks from her friends.

"Uhh…do we even want to know?" Mia asked as Isaac and Ivan walked through the door.

"Cadet Ivan, reporting for duty." Ivan said with a laugh before falling face first into the floor.

"Nice to see that you could come also Captain." Jenna said with a salute as she looked to Isaac.

"We should have known." Sheba said with a sigh, smacking herself in the face lightly.

"Should have known what?" Isaac asked, looked at her with a strange, yet puzzled look that made all of the hairs on the back of Sheba's neck stand on end.

"That she would recruit you two to help with her new plan to get her brother to smile. Not grin evilly while he hurts her, but actually smile." Mia said as she gathered some random wrappers from the floor and taking them to the kitchen.

"Ah, yes. We have helped greatly in that effort. Even if it did nearly get us both killed in the process." Ivan said as he sat up on the floor, rubbing his face.

"Am I late?" a bandaged Garet asked as he walked in the door.

"Not if you managed to get here before Felix. He's always late." Sheba told him.

"Where's Piers? Normally he's here before everyone else." Isaac asked as he looked around.

"He'll be here." Jenna said, laughing a small evil laugh.

"I see that he was stuck with the worse part of your plan. He got to keep track of Felix for all of this time." Isaac said before smacking Jenna for laughing too long.

"Hehehe. Sorry about that. I just can't help myself sometimes." she said as they all got ready for when Felix would arrive.

"Felix, come on. We're going to be late. And you know how I am about being late." Piers called from down the stairs to Felix, who decided once again to take forever to do nothing.

"Why won't you tell me what we are going to be late for?" Felix shouted down to him.

"I already told you, I'm not telling. Now quit asking and get down here." Piers yelled back.

"I'm not coming down until you tell me." Felix said.

"Either come down here without question, or I'm summoning Nereid" Piers shouted back up. The scrambling of footsteps could then be heard before Felix was seen running down the stairs. He then stopped right in front of Piers. "Now that's a good boy."

"I hate you." Felix said with a scowl.

"No you don't. You love me. Now let's go before you make us any later." Piers said as he pushed Felix out the door and towards town.

"Where are we going?" Felix asked as they approached the city gates.

"Somewhere secret." Piers said as he led him through town. He heard Felix sigh and looked back to see him shaking his head. "Oh come on. It can't be that bad if I'm the one taking
you there, right?"

"How do I know that your not in cahoots with Jenna?" Felix asked, stopping at the fountain in the center of town.

"How could you say that? What would I gain from helping your sister?" Piers asked, hoping that he didn't figure it all out yet.

"I don't know. It just seems strange. I haven't seen her all month long." Felix said, pointing out some very obvious facts that something had to be up.

"I'm tired of you two fighting all of the time. I thought that maybe I could do something to help. Which would be to keep you from her." he told him. It wasn't all a lie. He was tired of them fighting. And helping Jenna with her idea was the best chance he had to do it.

"I'm surprised that you didn't decide to keep her from me." Felix said with a snort, taking a seat on the fountain.

"And what is that supposed to mean?" Piers asked, turning to face Felix, but only getting splashed with water in response. "What was that for?"

"Felt like it. Shouldn't we be going before we're late for whatever it was?" Felix asked, sort of mocking Piers earlier in the house.

"I have something to do first." Piers said, looking to Felix with a grin.

"And what would that be?" he questioned the grinning water adept, inching back a bit on the fountain.
