Meanwhile the kids were still in the dungeon. Melanie was asleep in the right corner, George and Morgan were fast asleep in the middle and she had her head rested on his chest. Sarah was sleeping on Morgan's lap, Melody was in the left corner and Peter was sound asleep on the cot. Morgan, George and Melanie's eyes slowly blinked open.
"Hey beautiful." George told Morgan as he let out a yawn and put an arm around her.
She smiled. "Morning George."
Peter had just woken up a few seconds ago and let out a yawn. Sarah was awake too but she was still lying down. The sound of footsteps approaching; got her, Morgan, George, Melanie and Peter's attention. "How'd you sleep?" Gregory asked sarcastically. "Just so you know; Giselle and Louis are now married."
Morgan, Peter, Sarah, George and Melanie's eyes went wide. "What?"
Gregory continued with a smug. "Yep; that's right. I guess she grew tired of Robert, gained common sense and decided to be with Louis. And just look at how happy she is." He took the Crystal ball from Rhonda's hands; tapped on the glass and showed them what was going on with Louis and Giselle. Giselle and Louis were sitting on their thrones and they were both crowned by a few of the castle guards. She looked so happy with Louis and it looked as if she had completely forgotten about Robert.
"You see; it's as if she never even met Robert." Rhonda stated.
"Here's your breakfast." Gregory had a bucket full of slug eyeballs and threw it in the dungeon. Sarah wrinkled her nose and made a face and the couple walked off.
"It looks yummy." Peter said.
So they ate the slug eye balls and they were actually delicious; even Sarah liked it. Since there was really nothing to do; the kids would get tired and sleep. So throughout the day they would sleep and eat when their food came. For lunch they had swamp rats on a stick, more eyeballs covered with slim and because they were so hungry; they even ate the rats; no matter how gross it was. Soon it was Night time.
Megan jumped up from her bed after kicking the covers off her feet. Her mom had tucked her in a few minutes ago and said goodnight. But Megan wasn't going to sleep; something was going on, something odd and she wanted to find out what. She still couldn't believe what she saw last night. Peter, Morgan, Melanie and George just jumped in the sewer and Megan saw Melanie use magic to move the lid. Megan could almost swear that she was losing her mind but she wanted to find out for herself. She wanted to get to the bottom of things. She went to the door, quietly opened the door, went downstairs and to the front door. She got the key that was hanging from the knob and unlocked it. After she left the apartment, she locked the door and put the key in one of her pajama pants pockets.
She had to be very careful not to wake up the other people in their apartments; she headed for the elevator, pushed the button to open it, got inside and pushed the F1 button which brought her down in the lobby. She picked the lock with a piece of hair and left the building.
She waited for the red light and went in the street where the sewer was. She looked down at it as if it might lead her to death but she had to face that fear. After all why would Peter and the others be stupid to do it if they knew it would kill them? "I have got to be out of my mind." She said to herself. She opened the lid and after looking down for a few seconds; she jumped in.
Two castle guards walked in the corridor. There was a magic crystal ball on a wooden desk and they were watching it. "Who's that?"
"It's some little girl dressed in Aqua blue pajamas with a picture of some unicorn."
Peter was shocked hearing this. He looked at the crystal ball and saw the little girl; right away he knew who it was. "Megan?"
"She's heading towards the castle; summon the guards." The first guard said.
"But why? She's just an innocent little girl?" The second guard replied.
"Because she's a friend of Peter's."
The guards left the room and Peter shouted after them; but his pleads were ignored. "Guys no! Please don't hurt her!"
Megan was getting closer to the castle and a guard grabbed for her. "No! Let me go!" She did a flip over and kicked him right in the jaw. She made a run for it and two guards lifted her off the ground and had her in a tight grip. She was kicking and squirming to get free.
"Man! She is one tough little girl." A guard said.
The bars went up and she was pushed inside. "Megan?" Peter asked; still surprised that she was in this world.
"What is going on here? If you don't tell me what's going on; I will never speak to you ever again." She was serious.
Peter didn't want to take that chance by not telling her. But still; how did she end up here? "How did you get here?"
She gave him a knowing look. "I jumped in the sewer like you guys did."
"You saw us?" He asked surprised.
Megan rolled her eyes. "I was watching from my balcony. I saw the entire thing."
"Oh; right." Peter sighed. "Promise you won't freak. My mom was really born in this world; which is called Andalasia. Her parents are evil and now she's married to some vain prince and an evil hag is taking over and got us sent here." He expected her to laugh at any second or call him crazy, but she didn't. "Wait; why aren't you mad or laughing at me?"
"I sort of figured out that Andalasia's not a real state. I looked it up on my computer and their were no results. The only result I could find was Andalasia Fashions; where your mom and dad work."
"So you're not even a little freaked out about this?" He asked relieved.
"Are you kidding me? Freaked out? This is so cool! Well aside from those lame guards and being in here." She replied.
"Yeah." Peter agreed. "And speaking of that; we have got to find a way out of here."
"How?" She asked.
"There is no way out." Spoke a familiar voice coming from the dungeon next to theirs. "It was King Edward and Queen Nancy was sitting down on the cot.
"I tried breaking us out with my strong muscles but they had failed me." He then groaned with pain. "Ah; my muscles."
"Aw; come over here and let me rub em for you." Nancy told him.
He smiled. "That would be great." He sat down next to her and she rubbed his arms. "Ah, that's the spot."
In the dungeon across from them was a woman dressed in a maroon cloak. She had heard Morgan, George and Melanie talking about the magic gem stone earlier. "Did I hear you guys talking about the magic gem stone?" She asked Morgan, George and Melanie.
"Uh, yeah. Do you know anything about it?" Melanie asked.
"Well I read about it in some spell book. The gem stones were originally from Temptress Valley and they were used to defeat an evil powerful ancient witch millions of Andalasias ago. The gems are very powerful but can be very dangerous if they end up in the wrong hands. There is only one remaining but it is kept in a room where nobody can break in and take it." The woman explained.
"Well now it doesn't even mater because we're all locked up." Morgan replied.
"I can help." Came a voice. Mathew had entered the corridor and walked over to the dungeon.
"What do you want?" Melanie snapped. "Haven't you caused enough trouble for us? First you lock lips with Angelica and then you side with our enemies!"
"I'm not like them Melanie; I swear. I'm not like that."
"Then why were you with them?" Morgan asked.
"Okay; I know it looked bad but I am not a bad guy or a cheater. Look, I'll explain everything to you when we get out of here." He explained. "You just have to trust me."
"Fine but this turns out to be a trap; I am going to fry you." Melanie threatened.
Morgan sighed. "Okay; if we want to defeat Minerva, find this magic gem stone; then we're all gonna have to team up together. Are you guys in?" She put her hand out. Melanie put her hands on hers, George put his on Melanie's, Sarah's on his and Megan put hers on Sarah's.
"Peter?" Morgan asked.
There was no response and they saw that he was half asleep and his head was rested on Megan's shoulder, she was smiling down at him and he looked so peaceful, when she noticed that the others were looking at them and her cheeks lit up from embarrassment. "Oh I didn't notice." She lied quickly sounding like she had been caught. She pushed him off her shoulder. "Peter; wake up!" She told him loudly.
"What?" He asked confused; looking around. "Oh right." He looked embarrassed when he realized what he was doing." I'm in too." He put his hand on top of Megan's.
Mathew used his magic to free them and then he freed Edward, Nancy and the unknown lady from their dungeons.
"Okay, to Temptress Valley!" Morgan shouted; Melanie chanted and they disappeared.
All Morgan, Melanie, George, Peter, Megan, Sarah, Melody, Edward, Nancy, the lady and Mathew were in Temptress Valley.
"Okay; according to the book I read; the magic gem stone is kept in the highest room of the tower guarded by a dragon and it can sense people real good." The unknown woman explained.
"Okay we better get going." Morgan told the group.
They began to walk.
"Melanie, what you saw that day at school; she came over to me with papers. She told me that she had written a play and had no one to act it out with; so she asked me to be the male lead. The kiss was in the script; well I figured out it was all just an attempt for the kiss when you ran off." Mathew explained.
"So it was all Angelica?" She asked.
"Yep. Now I know she was just trying to break us up cause she wants me." He replied. "And I'm not a bad guy. The truth is; I'm a warlock and Minerva recruited me. I didn't know she was evil then. She told me that she was a good guy and if I join her; I'll be able to prove to people that I'm not evil."
Melanie smiled. "Well I guess that explains a lot."
"I would never do anything to hurt you. My feelings for you are real and I have loved you since the day we met." He explained.
"I did too." She replied.
The two hugged and he kissed her on the cheek.
"Okay we don't have time to be all mushy right now you guys. We have to get that last gem stone." Morgan explained.
They crossed a bridge and made it to the castle. The black dragon roared as it saw the group; then it spoke in a man's voice. "What brings you here?" It roared.
"Well um; you see; there's this evil witch named Minerva and she's taken over Andalasia. We really need the last magic gem stone in order to stop her." Melanie explained.
"Hm; your intentions seem pure." He let them in. "Right this way." He led them all the way up a staircase that led to the highest room. On a podium was a red gem stone and it was sparkly, beautiful and shiny.
Morgan's mouth dropped. "Wow."
"Indeed. Not only will it help you stop Minerva but it can also grant you three free wishes." He handed it to her; then he opened a jewelry box. In the box was a necklace with a tiny aqua blue orb. "You might need this Melanie; it will make you stronger on your journey."
"Uh how did you know my name?" She asked surprised.
"I know about everyone in all of Andalasia."
"Man!" Peter cried out. "If only I had my camera with me; I'd take a picture!"
They left the castle. They stopped by a nearby forest and Morgan, George and Melanie sat on a big rock. "The black dragon said that you can make three free wishes with this gem." Morgan explained.
"Wow; cool! Can I wish for cool powers like Spider Man?" Peter asked getting excited.
"No; you don't need super powers. But what we need is our father; we need to find out what happened to him." She explained. "I wish we could find out why Robert acted the way he did with us and Giselle." The gem was glowing and then Morgan saw an image of her birth mother. "It's Gwen."
Gwen Martin was in her bedroom standing in front of the mirror. "Ugh! I hate her! I hate that woman! I hate her!" She pounded on the dresser. "How could she still be alive? I just poisoned her with candy! It should have killed her!"
Both Morgan and Peter were shocked as they heard this.
"What?" He asked.
Gwen threw her brush at the wall and then she started throwing some other stuff and she was screaming and yelling as she did that. A woman appeared in her room. It was Gothel. "I think I have the solution to your problem." She had a red vial in her hands.
Gwen looked at the floating woman in front of her; shocked. "Huh? Who are you and you can fly? How much did I drink?" She wondered.
Gothel chuckled a little. "Oh no; you're not imagining things. This is all real. I'm a fairy god mother and I'm here to help you; help you with Robert."
Gwen was listening.
"I don't want him with Giselle either. They're just not right for each other." Gothel floated closer to her. "All you have to do is give him this." She handed the vial to her. "Just one sip of the love potion and his heart will belong to you. His love for Giselle will turn into hate, he will break her heart and she'll leave him. He will be under your control; practically brainwashed."
Gwen smiled hearing this. "So how do I get him to take it?" Gwen asked.
"He knows about Andalasia, stuff that are considered mythical here. He'll probably know it's a love potion so you'll have to be clever. Put it in his food, drink; anything." Gothel replied.
"Excellent. I'm throwing a Christmas party next week, I'll invite him and his family over, I will pour the potion in his wine when he's not looking; then I will bring him out on the patio where it will be just the two of us, we'll bump our glasses; then when he takes a sip; he will finally be mine." Gwen began to laugh happily.
The gem stone stopped glowing as the scene ended. "It was Gwen! It was all her!" Morgan exclaimed. "She did this to him!"
"And I worshiped her like a goddess." Peter stated; which caused Megan to elbow him in the ribs.
"Ow!"
"Well what do we do now? We need to cure him; bring him here and rescue Giselle." Melanie told Morgan.
"How could mommy just marry that awful man?" Peter asked.
Morgan wondered about that herself. "I don't know; that's not like her at all."
