A/N: I'M SORRY I'M SORRY I'M SORRY I'M SORRY I'M SORRY! ;_; Inspiration has been leaking out me ear these days, and I have had no idea how to update. I'm sick today, and I slapped myself this morning and said:

"Guuuurl! You need to update!"

I swear, if I had the TARDIS, I'd go back in time to slap myself. BUT I AM UPDATING NOW, AND I SHALL UPDATE FASTER NEXT TIME! (you guys need to send some rants or something, because I am not a very responsible little lady )

I'm not going to be answering reviews, as that will show how I'm stalling, so AAAANYWAY! I'm going to uuuuuppppdaaaaaaattt- *Firenia slaps my head, and I begin the chapter* Oooow…

:Together in Paris:

Dimitri looked out, smiling, as he watched the sun peek out from the horizon. He yawned and stretched, before looking over his shoulder at the sleeping witch and maid. His smile faded, and turned to a scowl, when he saw the red squirrel was glaring up at him. He did NOT like that little guy. And, maybe it was just a wild guess, he was pretty sure Blitz didn't like him back. He sighed, and ran a hand through his hair, as he slowly went over what had happened these past few days. His love had turned to stone, by an evil sorcerer, he met a rather annoying maid, he left a nice warm palace with said maid to find a cure, he met a witch in a village, and now he was camping in a cave.

"I hate magic." He muttered, as he walked toward Helena, and poked her shoulder. "Hey. Wake up. We need to keep moving." Helena instantly sat up, her eyes wide, and she stood, brushing off her clothes. "Right." She said, as she quickly began readying their supplies. Dimitri stared at how quickly she reacted. If someone had poked HIM while he was sleeping, he would have just mumbled a curse, and swatted them away. Helena looked up and wrinkled her nose, "I'm a maid." She said simply. He rolled his eyes, "That's right. You know, you're pretty bossy for a maid." Helena merely frowned, and turned to Firenia, gently shaking her shoulder, "Miss Firenia?" she asked quietly, "We need you to wake up. We have to keep moving."

Firenia groaned, drowsily blinking her eyes open, "Hmm? What… wazzat?" Blitz scampered to the young witch, placing a paw on her cheek. She yawned, and sat up, rubbing her eyes, before scowling sleepily. Obviously, she wasn't a morning person. "Listen, we need you to come along, and wake up." Dimitri said impatiently, "Because unless you want a girl to have the fate of having pigeon droppings on her-"

"WILL YOU SHUT UP?!" a voice barked deep in the cave.

The group looked up, Firenia mumbling, "That wasn't me…"

"No, it wasn't! I was sleeping quite peacefully until you all started gabbing your mouths off! Can't a fairy get any sleep these days?!"

Firenia frowned, "Fairy?" Instantly, a small fairy flew up to her face, as if coming from nowhere. She had long silver hair, and stunning sapphire eyes. She wore a light blue dress, that looked like it could have been gray, but colors didn't matter right now to Dimitri. Bags hung under her eyes, and her arms were crossed. Yet, the pout on her face gave her a cute look. Firenia rolled her eyes, and swatted the fairy away, "I don't have time for this!" she grumbled, as she stood up, and walked out the cave, her arms stretching towards the sky. The small fairy squeaked, and she let out a yell in anger, "Hey! The least you could do is apologize!" she cried, as she began to fly after Firenia. Helena held her by the hem of her dress, causing the fairy to squirm, "Hey! Let go!"

Helena frowned, 'Excuse me, Miss…?"

The fairy scowled, "Vera." She said, glaring at the maid. "Right. Well, Miss Vera, we really didn't mean to bother your sleep. We truthfully didn't have any idea you lived here!" Helena began walking towards the cave's entrance, but didn't let go of the fairy's dress, "We thought Firenia's spell was true, and that nothing lived here."

The fairy rolled her eyes, huffing, "Well, never trust a witch's spell. Don't you know they're terribly lazy when they do their spells? They only do a true working spell when they WANT to, and that hardly ever happens!"

"WHAT?!" Firenia screeched, and stormed towards the fairy, "I'll have you know, my spells are very reliable, and completely true!"

"Only when you want them to." The fairy merely said, shrugging her shoulders. "Listen you little pipsqueak!" Firenia began, as Helena let go of the fairy's dress. Dimitri rolled his eyes, as he began walking, looking over the map in his hands, hoping the small town would have something that would be able to help them.

Firenia and Vera still argued, as they walked down the path, before finally, Helena had enough. "Will you two both STOP already?!" she cried impatiently. The two blinked at her, and Vera shook her head, "My my, you human ladies. Are you always so loud? This lovely witch and I are only having a heated conversation!" Firenia nodded, and the two looked so peaceful with each other, that it was a wonder they even began arguing in the first place.

Vera flew towards Dimitri, landing on his shoulder. "So, where are you all going?" she asked, swinging her legs. Dimitri frowned down at her, but pointed to the town they were heading to. "We're looking for a cure for the princess." Helena explained, as her stunned expression soon faded away. "Really? What's happened to this princess?" Vera asked curiously. Silence fell upon the group. Vera shifted uncomfortably, her eyes flicking to one person to the next. "What? What is it?" she asked. Firenia spoke quietly, "The Princess Anastasia has turned to stone. Didn't you know?"

Vera crossed her arms, "I was asleep for quite a long time!" she said defensively. Dimitri rolled his eyes, "Shouldn't you be heading back to your cave, Vera?" he asked hopefully. Vera frowned, and patted his shoulder, "Are you kidding? You might need my help!" she smiled brightly. Helena shrugged, and smiled back, "Alright." She agreed. Vera then smirked teasingly at Firenia, "Besides, I'll make sure Firenia here won't slack off on her spells!"

"H-Hey!" Firenia protested, as Dimitri's shoulder slumped, and he groaned.

"I hate magic…"
