Hello!

I hope that you all liked the surprise Halloween one-shot I posted on Friday! I put quite a lot of effort into it so I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I did writing it.

Anyway, how are you all?

I'm pretty good, but I have an announcement at the end of the chapter so make sure that you stay tuned for that.

But here's chapter 21!

Tanner's stomach plummeted further with every second that passed, praying that Lela's eyes would open and all of this would be over.

But things didn't look like they were going to work out that way.

Until soft voices started singing from no where in particular and one by one, the seven surfers started to disappear.

Voices: "And away to his castle you'll go"

The ends of Lela's dark hair had started to change colour again, the red, blue and yellow shades creeping up her locks.

Voices: "To be happy forever we know"

Lela's outfit was changing as well. Her primrose yellow skirt and navy blue bodice were morphing into her candy pink nightgown she'd been wearing the night she'd messed with her fairytale book.

Music continued to play as Lela slowly stretched, her icy blue eyes locking with Tanner's ocean blue ones.

Lela sat up and held her gaze with Tanner, a dreamy smile spread across her face.

"Tanner, what are you doing here?" she murmured, keeping up her love-struck gaze.

"Oh, I'm so glad you woke up," Tanner sighed, taking Lela's hands in his as he sat down on the satin material with her.

"But I don't understand, I was just in my bedroom and now I'm in a forest. And why are the guys here? Oh my gosh! Mack! Brady! When did you arrive?!" Lela babbled.

"Lela, one question at a time," Tanner chuckled, already relieved that he had his girlfriend back.

"Ok, why am I in a random forest and not in my bedroom?" Lela asked, seeming to be quite unhappy about the fact that she wasn't surrounded by pink furniture.

"We think it has something to do with this," Seacat said, placing the fairytale book next to Lela.

The colour drained from Lela's face as she laid eyes on the leather-bound book.

"Are…are you sure?" Lela stuttered.

"Yeah, what did you do?" Butchy demanded.

"We'll sort that out later, first we'll try to answer all of Lela's questions," Mack cut in, stopping a sibling argument before it had even started.

"Ok, why is everyone here?" Lela asked, a little shyer than before.

"Well, we came to check on you this morning, because you hadn't been down at the beach, and we found you all passed out on the floor," Rascal said, referring to the other girls as well as Lela.

"So then we decided to investigate and we picked up that book," Lugnut said, pointing to the fairytale book. "And we woke up in the middle of no where."

"But then we found you," Tanner added, shooting a smile at Lela again.

"And we waited for your story to play out," Seacat continued.

"My story?" Lela asked, her confusion upping quite a lot.

"Before we get into that, I'm just going to say that Mack and I showed up to help," Brady said, answering Lela's third question before they got onto a totally different topic.

"Ok!" Lela grinned, happy to have two of her best friends back. "Now, back to my story," Lela said, her expression returning to a serious one.

"Yeah, you sort of acted out the story of Snow White," Tanner explained.

"And then the story was re-written into your fairytale book," Rascal continued.

"So I was Snow White?" Lela questioned.

"Yeah," The seven friends all said in unison.

"And when I re-enacted the story, it was re-written in the book?" Lela asked, picking up the large book and looking at the inked drawings of Snow White's story.

"Yep, that's what happened," Butchy replied. "So now, you've got to tell us what you did to get us all into this mess."

"Butchy," Lela tried, knowing that her brother would probably blow his top when she told him what she'd done.

"Lela," Butchy replied, mimicking his sister.

Lela frowned at her brother, putting her fairytale book down and crossing her arms across her chest.

"Lela, we want answers," Butchy demanded, wearing a determined expression.

"Ok, ok," Lela sighed, feeling very guilty already. "I found this piece of paper in the back of the fairytale book with this poem thing on it. I read it out and this witch lady appeared in my dressing table mirror and she made me agree to this wish thing and it turned the ends of our hair crazy colours and made us pass out. But she said it would give us fairytale endings and I also may have given away someone's voice in the process, please don't be mad!"

Lela's babbling could hardly be made out by anyone due to its speed and the occasional sniffle from a very upset and a very guilty biker girl.

"So you conjured up a random witch in your mirror, she tricked you so you agreed to be put in fairytales and you gave away someone's voice for it?" Mack summarised.

"Yeah," Lela said sheepishly, avoiding eye contact with everyone. "Please don't be mad."

"Lela!" Butchy cried, his anger rising by the second.

"Look, it is a little far-fetched but it's not the strangest thing that we've heard or seen so far," Mack cut in again.

"I know, but it's ridiculous, why would you go meddling in that stuff anyway?" Butchy demanded.

"I don't know!" Lela cried, getting quite shaken up by the harassment she was receiving from her brother.

"Guys stop it, fighting isn't going to help," Brady said, breaking Butchy and Lela's argument up.

"Lela, who's voice did you give away?" Rascal piped up, his question prompting everyone's heads to turn in Lela's direction.

Lela blushed quite a deep pink and had to look away, feeling so guilty she could hardly take the pressure.

"Lela, who was it?" Tanner asked, his voice quiet as he took hold of Lela's hands again.

"Your sister's," Lela murmured, averting her gaze and waiting for the backlash.

"Coral's?" Tanner checked, feeling a little betrayed.

"You gave away my girlfriend's voice for you to live out a fairytale?" Butchy was almost shaking with anger as he spoke.

"Yeah," Lela said, her voice barely above a whisper.

Rascal and Seacat had to physically restrain Butchy from strangling his sister. Butchy lost his temper quite easily, but if it involved someone he cared about then he went through the roof.

"You called Coral your girlfriend," Lugnut chuckled, knowing that Butchy never normally called Coral his girlfriend if everyone was around.

Butchy looked as if he could rip Lugnut apart, his friend's comment had literally tipped his anger off the scale, Seacat and Rascal could barely hold him back and Brady almost had to get involved. They had to pin him against a tree in the end until he relaxed.

Eventually Butchy had calmed down a little bit and Lela had finished explaining about her hair.

"Maybe the colour of your hair has something to do with the story you're involved in," Mack suggested, flipping through the pages of Lela's fairytale book.

"How?" Lela squeaked.

"Because the dress you wore when you were Snow White was red, yellow and blue," Mack started.

"And the ends of my hair are red, yellow and blue!" Lela exclaimed, understanding what Mack was trying to explain to her.

"Look, the castle Lela's story was based around is edged in red, yellow and blue as well," Brady pointed out.

"So to find the others, we have to match the colour of the ends of their hair to the colour surrounding each castle," Mack concluded.

"Guys," Brady called to the Wet Side Story boys, catching their attention.

"What?" they all chorused, turning to look at Mack, Lela and Brady.

"Can anyone remember the colours of the ends of the girls' hair?" Mack asked.

But it didn't look like anyone could, because Mack only saw blank expressions.

"I'm guessing that's a no then," Mack huffed, her plan screeching to a halt.

"Wait!" Rascal piped up. "Struts' hair was definitely light blue."

"Great!" Mack grinned, regaining her hope. "So Struts is the next person we're collecting."

"Why do we have to get Struts?" Butchy complained.

"Yeah, why can't we get Giggles?" Lugnut agreed.

"Because Rascal was the first to answer," Mack snapped.

"You snooze you lose," Rascal chuckled, earning a few glares from the two biker boys.

So the place that's surrounded by light blue is where Struts is," Brady said.

"But how are we going to get there?" Lela asked.

"I honestly don't know," Mack replied, running her hand over the map on the page.

Her finger stopped on the castle edged in baby blue, a strong gust of wind raced through the small clearing before darkness settled over everyone. The eight friends dropped to the floor, the fairytale book slipping out of Mack's hands as she fell.

I hope you liked it!

Let me know what you thought of it!

The announcement is: I am taking part in my school's play this year, which requires me to attend two-hour practises every Monday and Tuesday. This means that I will no longer have time to post a chapter on a Tuesday. So, I could either change my updating schedule to Wednesdays and Saturdays, or I could update just on Fridays. Let me know what I should do in a review, baring in mind that I won't have as much time to write chapters now because of the rehearsals. :)

I know I say this every chapter (if you're reading this then let me know what I should do about my updating schedule) but I want to say thank you to everyone who reads, reviews or sends me PMs because you're all absolutely amazing!

Thank you for reading!
