I am a burglar: Sure...

A-Plus Cassiopeia: I guess...

A few minutes later, Brenda and the water fairy were on their way.

"So, where did you last see my friend?" Brenda asked as they walked through the water regions. "And what happened after I left?"

"Well, I don't have much to tell you," The water fairy replied, a dull look in his eyes. "After you left, your little friend was scolding those air fairies and lecturing them on not starting fights. I have no idea why she would say that, especially to air fairies."

"Maybe because starting fights is wrong," Brenda snapped, narrowing her eyes at the water fairy. "But I guess your kind wouldn't know that."

The water fairy turned to glare at Brenda for a moment, then continued, saying, "What I meant was you don't talk like that to an air fairy. The other fairies would never cross an air fairy. We don't trespass into their land, we don't try and provoke them, and we definitely don't try to chastise them."

"Why not?" Brenda asked.

"You just don't," The water fairy said. "It's been that way for nearly a hundred years."

Brenda realized that the two were getting off topic. "What happened afterwards?" She asked.

"I don't know," The water fairy said, throwing his arms up in the air in exasperation. "I left."

"You left?!" Brenda shouted out, turning to stare at him in shock. "Why?"

"I figured that when those air fairies inevitably stopped focusing on that girl, they'd turn back to me," The water fairy explained. "So I left before that could happen. I don't know what happened to your friend afterwards."

Brenda had felt like she had been slapped in the face. The one person she felt could help stop this chaos, and he was just as useless an anyone else. She clenched her fists and, in a fit of rage, punched the tree closest to her.

"This is so pointless!" She shouted to the water fairy. "If my friends and the other fairies don't find Janet, things are just going to spiral out of control even more!"

The water fairy squinted his eyes. "Why is everyone so concerned over this human girl?" He asked.

Brenda turned to face him. "Because she's the brother of one of the most famous fairies in the whole darn valley!" She exclaimed. "Sam, remember him? The one who helped save Crystal City several times! The reason humans can even enter the fairy dimension! Janet's the whole reason he was able to do all of this! If she disappears, the fairies that care about Sam won't rest until they find her!"

"Then why are my kind suffering for it?" The water fairy asked angrily, taking a step forward.

Brenda folded her arms. "Well you water sprites haven't shown yourselves to be very trustworthy, have you?" She asked.

"Not all of us took part in the attack on Crystal City," The water fairy said through gritted teeth.

"Well you didn't stop the ones who did participate in the attack," Brenda snapped. "If it weren't for the forest fairies, everyone in Crystal City would be dead right now, including my parents."

The water fairy's face softened. He let out a sigh, then said, "I think I may have an idea where your friend is," He said after a pause.

Hearing this, Brenda's face lit up. "You did?" She asked, feeling a glimmer of hope.

"Yeah," The water fairy said uncomfortably. "The only problem is, neither of us are going to like where I think she is."

"I don't care!" Brenda declared. "I'd do anything to get Janet back! Get's go!"

She was about to set off walking, but then stopped and turned back to the water fairy.

"I never did catch your name," She pointed out.

"What, are we partners now?" The water fairy asked sarcastically.

"In a way, yes," Brenda said, with a smile.

"Alright," The water fairy said. "My name is Nexus."

"Cool name," Brenda said, and shook the fairy's hand. "Come on, let's go, Nexus!"

And with that, the two set off through the forest.

The water regions were littered with the belongings of the water fairies as the forest fairies scoured their territory in search of the missing human girl. The longer Janet had been missing, the more brutal the forest fairies had become towards the water fairies. It wasn't uncommon to see a water fairy accosted by several other fairies in an attempt to force information from him or her.

Sam, David and Isabella walked through the water regions, a look of dread in their eyes as they watched the forest fairies terrorize the water fairies. Even though they had instigated the search, none of them thought it would proceed like this.

"We were just supposed to find Janet," David whispered. "Not hurt so many people."

"I don't like water fairies, but even I think this has gone too far," Isabella mumbled. She rushed out into the center of the area, and began shouting out towards the forest fairies.

"Everyone, quit it right now!" She demanded. "We're looking for my sister, not destroying this region. What's gotten into everybody?!"

Some of the forest fairies listened to Isabella and looked somewhat remorseful, but others paid her no attention.

At that point, David's eyes lit up. "Brenda!" He said aloud.

"What about her?" Isabella asked, turning to face him.

"Brenda said she saw Janet yesterday in the water regions," He said. "When I asked her about it, she looked like of fishy, like she wasn't telling me the whole story."

"David, it's Brenda," Sam said. "She wouldn't hide anything from us."

"Maybe, but I think something else happened there that she didn't talk about," David said. "And I'm going to find out what!"

With that, he turned and vanished into the forest.
