Leslie ran back into the forest to look for his sister after helping the birds, pigs and eagles rebuild the cruise ship. He found her sitting on a log beside the creek.

"Sis, there you are!" He exclaimed, "Man, you wouldn't believe what I've been doing the whole day, I was helping your friends fixing the ship, and then, their magic is awesome!" his smile dropped when he noticed Aggie was still frowning, "But hey, why aren't you with everyone else?"

"Zeta said something is causing everyone to get new magic. I think it's Dark Aggie. She's still part of me. I can still feel it. And I think her magic is infecting my friends," Aggie cried in guilt.

"Aggie, it's not you or your evil side that caused all of this! This is Magic Island for crying out loud! It was the island who gave them powers," Leslie explained, "Why else I have my own magic powers? I lived here for so long, Ags. But I kinda hand it to your friends, they were advance that they developed magic powers, despite that you guys stayed her for 3 days."

"I beg the differ," Aggie refused to believe.

"Ags! Hey, Ags!" Roy ran into them, "We just fix the ship, and it's big and good as new! Can we go home now?!"

Aggie just shook to clear her head. All she could think of was the cause of her friends gaining magic powers. For Leslie, it was the island, but to her, it was Dark Aggie, she'll be ready if Aggie ever use magic. She wasn't there when her friends were fixing her ship while using their magic. She didn't know what do next, but she has to answer this little hatchling's question before he could become suspicious, "Um… not yet. It's almost dark again, and, uh… you guys should all get some rest. You guys were working too hard. You deserve some rest, to get a lot of energy before we can go home tomorrow."

"Well, alright. I'll go tell Dad and the others," Before Roy could go, he turned back at Aggie, "Are you okay?"

"Yes, of course," Aggie quickly wiped off the tears from her eyes, "Why wouldn't I be?"

"Nothing, but… no hard feelings about the donuts, I mean…" the hatchlings with a baseball cap chuckled, "They're still delicious. Gotta go."

After Roy left, Aggie groaned desperately, "Great, now my supposed future step-son now hates me for poisoning him and his twin sister."

"Uh, I don't think that's it," Leslie doubted.

In that evening, everyone went back to their hotels and rooms to get some rest for their trip back home tomorrow.

Aggie slept in her room, and started to strain when she began to have a nightmare.

In her dream, Aggie was sitting besides the fire, roasting a marshmallow on a stick, until she heard a familiar voice.

"Here I am!"

Aggie turned her head in random directions to find who owned that voice.

"Over here."

There it is again. It's getting serious. Aggie's scared. She stood up and looked around.

Until then, the fire turned black, and Dark Aggie emerged in surprise, "I'M ALWAYS HERE!"

"NO!" Aggie snapped awake from her nightmare, and almost caused her to jump. She panted in fear and her forehead sweated. It's happening again! Everything she feared will happen again! All over again! She has to get out of here! And this time, she will need someone to help her.

At the hotel of the eagles, in their room, Zeta opened the window to let the cool air in since her and her family's room is quite hot. Before she could go back to sleep, she saw two figures running towards the forest. Good thing eagles' eyes are sharper. She could see Aggie and Leslie running away from the village.

"AGGIE!" Zeta panicked as she quickly pulled Mighty Eagle and Debbie from their sleep without alerting them to wake up. They just snapped awake when Zeta dragged them with her.

The three went out of the hotel to follow the two siblings to the forest.

"What is up with your best friend, Ethan?" Zeta asked.

"You tell me! She's your niece," Mighty Eagle answered.

"You know her longer than I did!" When they reached the forest, Aggie and Leslie weren't that far as Zeta called, "Aggie?"

Aggie was caught as she stopped and turned around.

"What are you doing out here?" Debbie asked

"We're..." Aggie stammered, "We're taking one of the small boats of the cruise ship to take us home."

The Eagle Family looked down at Leslie as he spoke, "She thought you'd talk her out of it."

"Because I would. Aggie, you can't leave," When Zeta touched Aggie's wing to comfort her, her eyes glowed white and can see something.

Jim gasped in realization, "You don't think it was the spirits of Magic Island or Aunt Aggie's evil ancestors, do you?!"

Aggie looked away sadly, and whispered, "No. It was me."

I think it's Dark Aggie. She's still part of me. I can still feel it. And I think her magic is infecting my friends," Aggie cried in guilt.

After seeing Aggie's memories, Zeta let go of her wing from Aggie's wing, and her eyes stopped glowing, "Aggie, there's no more Dark Aggie. There's only you."

"How did you know what I was thinking?" Aggie asked in shock.

"When I touched your wing, I could see things. I could understand why you were leaving," the purple eagle explained, until she realized she got magic powers, "My new magic...! This is my new magic! This is incredible!"

But Aggie has an opposite thought about it, "No, it's not! I'm infecting you now!"

"Aggie, you have to stop looking at this as a bad thing," Mighty Eagle said, "It's good for all of us."

"Easy for you to say. When you have magic, it turned you into something beautiful. The last time I use it against you, it turned me into a monster!" Aggie hung her head down in shame, "I'm just so afraid it's gonna happen again."

"Yes, magic turned me into something amazing, but even though it's not magic, I've turned into a monster, too, and it was all me," Zeta admitted, "So if anyone understands what you're going through, it's me. W can help you, Aggie. And the rest of our friends can be there for you, too. But not if you run away."

Aggie sighed, "I'll stay. But I still don't think it's a good idea for me to be near the rest of our friends right now."

"Understood," Debbie patted her cousin's shoulder.

"So, are we going back to the village or what?" Ethan suggested.

"Uh, you guys go along," Leslie excused himself, "I'm going to find my pet. He hasn't home for few days, so I'm going out to get him." He continued walking back into the forest as the Eagle family escorted Aggie back to the village.

Meanwhile, Red was in the forest, picking flowers from a field, not so far away from the village. Red didn't feel like sleeping, even how tired he was for helping his fellow birds and the pigs and eagles. He still can't stop thinking about Aggie. She wasn't there when they rebuilt the ship. He got the feeling that she was still upset about what happened. About everything that happened, especially between them. Just to make her better, he doesn't want to force her to be with him again, but he could at least convince her to let him make things up to her.

After picking white, red and black flowers, Aggie's three favorite colors, Red went back to the village, and tried to watch his step since small rocks were hiding in tall grass. He even tried to keep his chest and abdomen part safe from any sharp object since the bandages were removed, and he's not sure if body was completely recovered.

Before he could make it to the birds' hotel, he could hear rustling noises as he hid behind a large rock.

The three eagles and the sparrow made it back to the village while talking to each other.

"You know, I started to think this is not about your dark side coming out if you use magic," Zeta started, "It's about you and Red, isn't it?"

Aggie wasn't really surprise that her aunt knew her problem since that has been the issue, but she just looked away in silence.

The purple eagle groaned in annoyance, "Agatha, come on! How many times do I have to say I'm sorry?!"

Aggie still couldn't answer.

"Look, if this is about my teasing that make your boyfriend dated another girl, then I'm sorry for that! I regret it!" Zeta admitted.

"Zeta, I do forgive you, okay? You're not the only one who is fault here!" Aggie exclaimed beforr hugging herself, "It's just about me and Red. We've known each other for 10 years. We first started as best friends, and then we're in love. I didn't want to break up with him in the first place, but the lives of the universe is at stake. If I didn't go to save the energy of the universe and Precious took all of it to avenge her father, what will happen to all energy, all lives? All energies are the energy of the universe. If I didn't save it, we could all have died! I planned to get back with Red, but I don't want to be selfish as everyone else with their partners. And then, look what happened, I'm even selfish for keeping my emotions to myself. I've turned into a insane girl who took revenge on everyone, even the innocent once. I've become… like you."

Zeta rolled her eyes, "Great, now I can reflect that one."

"But you still love that red dude, right?" Mighty Eagle patted Aggie's head with his finger.

"Of course I do, but… I don't think I can be in a relationship with him for now… Not even he could be in a relationship with me… after what happened between us," Aggie's tear rolled down on her cheek.

"It's just a little fight," said Ethan.

"A little?!" Aggie snapped at him, "I killed him, Ethan! I stabbed him! Several times! He couldn't been dead!"

"You did saved him!" Debbie reminded.

"If haven't kissed him! Good thing I did, but that doesn't change the fact that I should get back to him again!"

"Agatha, come on. We're the same page here. I turned evil when Ethan left me, you turned evil when Red left you. I almost killed everyone in both Bird Island and Piggy Island, you almost killed everyone of us. And like you said, talking it over could make things better, like me." Zeta explained.

"I already did, remember?! Besides yours wasn't that violent. You just fired snowballs with lava, I just wanted you all die brutally, with blood coming out of your bodies. That's too much! Even for a villain like me!" Aggie whimpered in guilt.

Red heard the whole conversation. Aggie just called herself a villain, even though none of it was all her fault. Each of her closest friends have mistakes to her, including Red himself. She was as angry as he was when he was still alone those times. But murdering wasn't part of it. All of this started because Aggie thought he moved on from his feelings for her, and… well, he knew the rest. This made his heart pounding, like something… out of guilt.

"Look, if it makes you feel relief, maybe you should talk so more with Red," Debbie suggested.

"I don't want to talk to him anymore! I've done too much worst to him! I don't want to hurt him like this anymore!" Aggie declined as she started to cry, "Worst break-up experience ever!"

His guts were right. Red does feel guilty. Half of this was his fault anyway. Their breakup was half of Aggie's fault, but making her feel like nothing to him was half of his fault. Red made her feel miserable again. She even blamed herself for everything because of what he did. He couldn't show himself to Aggie like this. It's not the right time. He quietly left behind the rock, and ran back into the forest.

Meanwhile, at the other side of the forest, Leslie was still looking for his pet.

"Mr. Oakley! Mr. Oakley!" He then found his pet that was a turtle with a blue leash around it, "Mr. Oakley! You are all right! If you ever wander off again, I will slap the shell off of you!" Leslie snapped but he can tell that his turtle was sad, "I am sorry. I did not mean it! I love you!"

But then, there was another turtle beside Mr. Oakley.

"Oh, Mr. Oakley! You have made a little friend! That is nice, but it is time to go back to the village," When Leslie picked up the leash to drag Mr. Oakley with him, the turtle just stayed still, "Hello! Remember me? The one who hatched you from an egg?" He then pointed his butt, "This booty kept you warm for many months."

But then, when he looked at Mr. Oakley and the other turtle, Leslie realized his pet likes that other turtle.

"Oh, Oakley, you rascal! You have found a sweetheart. Ooh! My little turtle is all grown up!" Leslie jumped proudly. "Very well, you can have 10 minutes."

Leslie went to the trees and bushes to give his turtle sometime alone with his new "girlfriend". A second later, he took a little peek of what the two turtles are doing.

Back at the red bird, Red sat sadly on the log and put the flowers aside. He has to think for himself alone. He couldn't help but thinking about Aggie. He didn't only feel guilty for making her sad, but also for making her feel guilty about herself. The guilt really fought them both and drifted them apart from each other. Red couldn't stop thinking about everything that he and Aggie had been through, good times and bad times, it really hurts him when Aggie has been suffering about what happened between them lately. It was a huge disaster.

"Hey Red," Silver encountered as she sat on a log beside him.

But Red scooted away from her a little, not in a mood of having her around, "How did you know I'm here?"

"I couldn't sleep, so I saw you from my window, and you ended up here. Ha! Funny, right?" Silver chuckled to lighten the mood, but she noticed Red doesn't respond, "Are you okay?"

"You're so smart, what do you think?" Red inquired, "I just have problems with my friendship with Aggie, and everything went back to square one."

"Yeah, about that… I know how much Aggie was special to you, and you're special to her. I didn't know at first, and I thought you guys were ordinary friends, but you guys are so much more than that."

"She and I were used to date! What do you think we would be?"

"I've been thinking I should make a survey out of both of you."

There she goes again. Another survey, just like she surveyed when they first met, "Do whatever you like. I don't care," Red said.

"Okay then. Let's see," Silver started to write on her notepad, "Usually angry, that's both of you."

"Talks to herself as always, Red added.

"Having miserable lives because of odd physical appearances."

"Minds anyone's business."

"Easily offended, fear of being ignored and abandoned, and like now, feeling guilty for hurting each other and cry at the same time. So…," Silver tapped her pencil rapidly on her notepad, "So, you and Aggie are 80% compatible."

"Okay… what 80?" Red snapped out of depression, "What do you mean by that?"

"Well, according to my calculations, you were known to be the angriest bird, while Aggie has been the cheery one; you were a bird, she's a human with powers; you still don't know about your parents, while Aggie has a family. You guys have many differences, so yeah, your compatibility is 80%," Silver held up her notepad and the test score read: 80% COMPATIBLE., "On the bright side, you guys are compatible!"

But on the looks of Red's face, he was so satisfied about it.

Silver's face just dropped to frown, "Or maybe I should add it up to 90%, since your companionship worked out for 10 years, and…"

"Stop! Just stop! Okay, Silver?! You don't even know. You don't even have one clue!" Red shouted frustratingly.

"Hey! I was just trying to..." Silver tried to explain, but Red kept cutting her off.

"Do you know how much this means to Aggie, and she means to me?" He started to shed some tears. "All my life, my only job for Aggie is to make her happy. Happy! I spent my years trying to please her by welcoming her into our world, and even my home and my life. I even tried to support her new job as the protector of her friends and almost the whole universe, and then I got dumped because I let her save the energy of the universe alone! I have no idea she still has feelings for me because I was too busy saving our island, and Chuck and Bomb forced me to go on a Speed Dating just to forget her! And then the next thing I knew, she was so jealous of you, and turned evil, just to kill me because she thinks I abandoned her and liked you instead!" the red bird inhaled after letting all of that air out from his lungs, "This is my last chance now, Silver. Last. Final. If this happens again, Aggie will never trust me, not only as her love, but also as a friend. She won't let me or my chosen friends in the I Team anymore because of what happened. Don't get me wrong. I like you, Silver. I really do, but as a friend because you helped me, and made me realized I was wrong. We both know that, but your brother and almost everyone thought more than that, and we've been attack by a jealous insane girl who's still in love with me but thinks I don't love her anymore because I was always with you! I know Aggie tried to be not as selfish as any humans in her world, but it's too painful for her that her best friend was not by her side anymore. Aggie and I were always close before we dated. She was never got use to be separated with me. I don't want her too feel like that, Silver. After everything what's happening, she felt like nothing to me! I would never ever feel like she's nothing. She's everything to me. She's always been part of my life. I don't want her to feel like… she's not important to me anymore."

After that whole speech that Red released from his chest, Silver looked back at her results, and began to realize that her results were just nonsense when it comes to friendships, companionships and love, "Wow. I guess I was wrong. I thought calculating two people could tell if they were compatible for each other or not. I don't have any friends, and I don't know if I choose the right person to be my friend or even a partner, so I decided asked questions of what they are interest on, and calculating if they were right for me. But hearing you say that you and Aggie were so close in any way, it made me realized that my calculations didn't matter. It's not about the similarities and differences, and so what you did for your companion that counts. Just like Aggie did to you when she met you. She just felt so pity for you. I guess being with someone you like, you have to do things for him or her. You care for each other, you look out for each other, you understand each other. That's how your friendship with Aggie grew ever since. You both were into a relationship. And I heard about your breakup, and I begin to realize that she did not breakup you just save the energy of the universe, she just wanted to keep you safe. And alive. She wants you to have a long normal life."

"That's why she's so great," Red murmured.

"You know, I thought of being smart can make me have friends, but they all just not interested on me that time. Unlike Aggie, she has many friends, because she has a big heart. She even sacrificed her own happiness to make everyone else happy."

"You know, Aggie once said to me, if you give yourself to have friends, you will have some. Being smart is a good thing to have friends, but sometimes, you should go out there, have a fun and games with others, and helped those who were falling. That's the real definition of friendship. Sometimes, you habe to take a break from something your good at, and be with other with their own interest. "

"Well, now you sounded just like Aggie," Silver smirked, "You do remember her lesson she taught you, and you shared it to me."

"It's Aggie's job, and I did make a promise to her," Red said, "Not only I should learn her lesson, but also share it to others who hasn't know much about friendship yet."

"You know, you should stop feeling guilty for yourself after what happened right now. It just drags you away from Aggie, and you'll never get back with her again."

"She made choice. She doesn't want to get back with me anymore, until she decided to."

"If you keep waiting like this or maybe forever, it'll be too late! Just like when Aggie waited for you to take her back, and everything went insane."

Red sighed depressingly, "Then, what am I suppose to do?! Waiting for a miracle?!"

Suddenly, they felt an earthquake happening.

"Okay, that's not a miracle I wanted," Red groaned.

Suddenly, the giant brown vines emerged from the ground. And this time, they were bigger and stronger than the last time they fought those things.

"What—Red, I thought you held those things down!" Silver glared at Red.

"I thought I did, but I don't how long the bubbles held them off," Red explained, "Let's just find Aggie and fix this."

The two birds quickly ran off as the giant vines smashed the log they were sitting.

At the village, Mighty Eagle, Zeta, Debbie, and Aggie were still talking about the situation that Aggie still had been through.

"I can't believe I've been so obssessed with trying to be better than Silver," Aggie realized, "Maybe she is better than me at everything. But who cares? I still have lots of great things in my life. Like other amazing loyal friends, a loving family, and supportive adopted families, including you."

The Eagle family blushed of Aggie's compliment for them being a supportive adoptive family to her.

Aggie jumped and hugged them three with her wings and eagle wings tightly.

"Ooohh! Your hug... is to tight," Debbie choked by the hug.

Suddenly, the family hug interrupted when they encountered the giant vines emerging from the ground around them.

"What's happening?!" Aggie screamed.

"Leslie's wild plants are growing!" Ethan shouted.

"I thought held them off with my wand staff," the sparrow said.

"He did, but I think the spell didn't last long," Zeta replied.

"What's the spell he used?"

"I think that was 'Bubble Attack'."

"Dang it! That spell didn't last long! We have to find Leslie before he gets hurt!" Aggie suggested as the four ran back to the forest to find the human boy.

While they're gone, the other vines kept growing from the ground around the village and other parts of the island. The vines were like multiplying around the island and growing bigger and taller than Star Mountain. It's like a plant invasion!

This chapter 21. Man, I made lot of chapters in this story. Though it's not done yet, so there will be more soon!

Half of this chapter also has reference of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

Leslie's side of this chapter was a reference from a Disney series, Jessie, about the character Ravi and his pet Mr./Mrs. Kipling.

So, there's a plant invasion now. Wait for the next chapter.
