Black sky, no stars but a moon so bright and big, it shines throughout the night. Aisha, now fast asleep in her hotel room, along with her bunkmates for the night: Ben, Miranda, Kanou-a and Kasprosca along with their bonded pixies and pets. The others were sound asleep in their room for the night. All sound asleep in their boxer shorts and tank tops or shorts and tank tops as well. Her phone was on the mattress due to watching videos whenever she has a hard time falling asleep and they work as always. In her slumber, Aisha was grunting to herself but calmed down for a moment until a dream came to her.
Last Year from Aisha: The Lost Heir
Aisha, now sound asleep in her Big Bear room when she had shorter and brown hair at the time and of course when she discovered she was a princess. Ben and his family along with the Plumber kids, Kevin, her best friend Lance and Albedo were in the vacation home as well. Sound asleep peacefully on a quiet night; wolves howling, owls hooting and other nocturnal animals making their noises as well. It was quiet, nothing was to be disturbed until...
"SELENA!"
Lance barged into her room, shaking her. Making her groan.
"Dude, what's going on? It's 4 in the morning." Aisha groaned.
"The barn is on fire!"
The moment Lance announced that Aisha's eyes widen and immediately got up from her bed and head downstairs, heading outside.
A gasp left her lip. Lance was correct, the barn is on fire. Flames engulfed the wood, the loud crackling was heard, black smoke coming up into the clear night sky along with the animals crying in desperation. There was no way in hell the animals can escape in this current situation. Leaving no choice, she ran toward the burning barn.
"Selena!"
"Aisha!"
"Black where are you going?!"
As she made to the entrance of the barn, it was like a gateway to hell and boy, it was hot.
Fuck it! Aisha thought and jumped through the barn in an instant, not harming her.
A cough came out of her lip as she looked at the stables latches and thankfully, they were unharmed. As she covered her lips with her shirt, she unlatched the locks and immediately all the animals escaped.
"Aisha! Get out of there now!" It sounded like Ben before he activated the watch.
"Hold on! I think there are more animals!" Her voice was muffled due to her shirt covering her mouth. As she looked through the hay, she stumbled upon a little piglet and a duckling, huddling together and scared.
"Don't worry little ones. You'll be safe with me." Aisha gently picked up the two animals in her arms, coughing, and soot covering her face as she approached the exit but a piece of the burning wood from the roof blocked her entrance, making her yelp by surprise. The piglet and duckling were crying in fear.
The fire was getting out of control and Ben used Big Chill to stop the fire but it was fruitless.
"There's no way of taking it out!" Lance shouted as he calmed the horses. The other animals were being tended by the Tennyson's, Levin, Lance, Albedo and the Plumber kids. Thankfully, the animals were unharmed.
Bane, on the other hand, was barking and digging the dirt from the ground. The way, the fire won't spread anywhere else. (and they say you can't teach a puppy new tricks)
Inside, Aisha was coughing and holding on to dear life with the animals in her arms, wheezing as well. She was in deep trouble and if she stayed a little longer, she'll be dead along with the animals. As she tried to calm her breathing, her legs were shaking and her lungs, filled with smoke and nowhere to run, saw the exit dimming down
One... shot.. she thought and pant. Soon, the lost princess ran as fast as she can, jumping out of the fire hell and landed away from the barn. Coughing and wheezing.
"Aisha!" Ben ran toward her, helping her sit up as she coughed.
"Easy..." He gently told her while smiling at her.
"H-hey..." She smiled as she continued coughing when cute oinks and quacks came from her arms. A cute covered soot pink piglet and a yellow duckling.
"I couldn't leave them..." She admitted then groaned a bit.
"Hey what's the matter?" Ben looked at her right shoulder, there was a severe third-degree burn due to the fire, but it soon magically healed on his own.
"Don't worry, help is coming," Ben told the girl as he held her close. Aisha nodded as the fire department managed to put the fire down and the paramedics came along as well. Her breathing was calmed down as Lightning came along and nudged her head.
On the top of Aisha's head, Rayann, The Pixie of Sweet Dreams was snuggling against her. Using her magic to ease her nightmare into a dream she can sleep at ease.
Present-day
Morning came, Aisha was still sound asleep until she heard some voices trying to wake her up.
"Princess Aisha.." it sounded familiar but who would call her that. Pinocchio would just call her 'Princess' until someone shook her by the shoulder.
"Princess Aisha!"
"What what?!" Aisha sat up, rubbing her eyes along with her hair being messy as always due to not having her hair in a ponytail. Rayann jumped up in the air for a moment.
"What's..." yawns. "Up?" Until her vision became clear and in front of her was.. a child?
"Ben?"
"Ben? I'm not Ben. It's Rokai, from the Fuego race."
The small child smiled, black shoulder-length hair with a red streak on his side of his hair, a short-sleeve red, black and white flannel button-up shirt, normal jeans and matching shoes. On his wrist were leather Native American bracelets. Tan skin that matches Aisha's along with blue eyes and in his hair was a feather, that went well with his hair. He was seen sitting at the edge of the bed.
"RO-ROKAI?!"
"Hi." He smiled calmly.
Aisha couldn't believe it. "H-how, what?! How did you?!"
"You're dad suggested we watch you during your stay in Mexico." He answered.
"We?"
Her head turned automatically when she saw Helia; arms crossed, looking at another direction and he seems to be blushing. He wore black Bermuda ripped shorts, a purple and white striped shirt and his hair was.. cut short due to the academy's policy, only leaving a styled side bang.
"Uh hey, Helia?" The ant in disguise jolted a bit and looked at Aisha with his purple eyes.
"Good morning princess. I'm sorry for coming unexpectedly. Except him.." Helia turned his attention to Rokai.
"Hey, I wanted to join as well Helia."
"This isn't a vacation Rokai. This is Princess Aisha's mission to find the truth of her adopted mother!"
These two were arguing like they were brothers and Aisha looked at the two with confusion until.
"Can you keep it down, Black! I'm trying to sleep!" Kevin barged in and saw two unexpected guests in the room. That's when Rayann landed on his bed hair, hugging his head and yawn, falling asleep.
Ok, let's call this a vacation.
Outside the hotel was connected with a beach and it was drop-dead gorgeous; palm trees sticking out and moving calmly by the wind along with some beach furniture scattered. There was a pool in the hotel they were staying in and inside the pool was a bar, built in the pool.
All guys were wearing swim trunks with a floral tropical design on them with their colors. The girls wore bikinis in their colors along with floral designs on them, some wore shorts instead of the traditional bikini bottoms. Along with a silk overlap skirt around the girl's waist, sandals, sunglasses and a beach hat with a colorful tropical flower on the side of the hat. The pixies and pets looked at the new environment they were currently in especially little Rayann, who is just a baby and must be watched mostly since she tends to fly off on her own. Glady, no one can see them.
"I wanna try out the indoor bar, anyone wanna join?" Kevin grinned before taking a step inside the pool.
"They better have virgin drinks, Levin," Lance commented and the two went to the bar for a drink.
"I'll make sure they don't overdo it, Aisha." Albedo followed his boyfriend and his copy version. Meanwhile, Harper and Josette jumped into the pool, laughing and splashing water. Soon Rokai and Helia jumped in and joined the twins.
"I'm gonna get my tan on." TK laid back on a sunbed, sighing with sunglasses on.
The other Mayans were either hanging out at the beach, joining the guys at the bar or with Aisha. Walking around the pool and a walk on the beach where the white sand was not too warm or too cold, just perfect.
Back home in Hollywood, Queen Juliet, seen sitting on the backyard patio of the Blaire home, sighing. She hadn't heard anything from Bloom lately and it was making her worry, but before she left. She overheard Zoc talking to one ant, a guard she assumes to watch over Aisha while she is in Mexico and he agreed. Zoc didn't feel right having the Mayans watching his daughter, so... the more the merrier.
It's just too much on her mind and... Zoc was gonna be busy with the colony, her parents were hanging out with Verdona and Max while her sisters were busy as well due to some conflicts on other planets.
"My queen?" A gentle voice approached her and Juliet turned her head to see the Princess Allura, Snow White long hair hanging down and blue eyes.
She wore a beautiful formal light blue dress that came out a fantasy game. A halter type dress that was held on by a golden choker along with the golden belt, cover the dress was a silk robe like a long cloak; the sleeves were cut off by the upper arm but the was hang loose. On her forehead was a brooch type tiara that had a single aqua blue gem piece of a miniature crown.
"Princess Allura? What are you doing here?"
"I was gonna ask the same thing." She sat down by the queen.
Juliet looked at the princess for a moment just to change the subject on time.
"What a beautiful dress you have princess," Juliet told the princess.
"Thank you, your daughter made this for me."
"I see."
"Now tell me, what's bothering you, my queen?" She asked again.
Juliet sigh and looked at the view from the balcony again.
"I don't know if I am a good mother toward Bloom. If Amber was here, I would ask her about Bloom. I feel like I'm not confident enough to be the mother who I expected to be.."
"But you are a good mother Juliet, Aisha loves you very much. Amber would love you as well if she was here. She would love to meet you as well, and that way, Princess Aisha would have two mothers that would love her and cherish her always. For now, you have to be there for Princess Aisha when she needs you the most."
Juliet nodded. Hearing from Allura made her understand that now that Amber is long gone, it was her turn to take the throne of motherhood and she is trying to get used to it, but it turned out hard as she expected. But she swore when Aisha was born, she'd be the best mother in the entire galaxy and she'd keep that promise until the day she dies.
"Do you understand my queen?"
Juliet nodded.
"Yes, thank you, Allura. You speak wisely as my mother. I believe you'd be a wonderful queen in your future." Juliet admitted and admired the princesses' speech. Juliet was now more determined than ever and hoping that Aisha would find the answers of Amber when she heads home.
Around the afternoon, the steel drums were making beats, the girls were chilling by the pool (plus Albedo) along with drinks in their hands(no alcohol whatsoever). Some of the guys were dancing along with the beats as Gwen and Miranda pulled out their phones, recording the guys dancing. Aisha smiled and looked at the view of the beach, smiling at the music. The pixies and pets were dancing along with the beats.
"Princess?" She turned her attention to see Rokai, smiling at her. "Care to dance?" He pulled his hand out and Aisha accepted it. They made their way to the dance floor and danced away along with the tourist as well.
One by one the girls joined while dancing with the beat. It was all calm and peaceful until Aisha heard a voice for a moment.
Ninaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Precioooooooooooosaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...
It sounded like a lullaby whisper. She turned her head for a moment to find the voice came from. Was it just her that can here it? It seems so because everyone was just dancing. Soon, she immediately left the dance floor, distraught and some of the Mayans stopped.
"Bestie? Bestie wait!" Miranda followed her especially Kanou-a and Ben.
"Babe wait!"
"Cousin Aisha!"
Those words were singing in her head, making her groan a bit. It was giving her some sort of headache.
"Stop it.. please... stop it." She kept saying that to herself unaware. "Who... are you?"
"Baby!" Aisha stopped for a moment and looked behind her. Ben, her cousin, and bestie were getting worried.
"Bestie, who were you talking to?" Miranda arched a brow.
"N-no one. I thought I heard someone.."
"Who?" Ben questioned.
"Some voice, but I don't know who's. Can't you all hear it?" Aisha asked.
The three stayed quiet and looked at one another and shook their heads.
"Ok, I am definitely going crazy." Aisha left eye twitched it.
"Bestie, we're not calling you crazy." Miranda came to her and held her hand.
"You ain't?" Aisha questioned.
"Of course not, maybe it's a voice that's telling you something," Kanou-a explained.
"Babe, can you tell us what the voice is saying to you?"
"It kept singing to me, Nina Preciosa. Precious child..that's all."
"That voice must be some kind of calling." Miranda thought and the guys nodded.
Aisha nodded and leaned against the wall. The voice was giving her a headache.
"Hey, bestie you ok?"
"Yeah.. headache is kicking in. I'm gonna head back to my room, don't worry about me." Aisha smiled and walked away, leaving the three Mayans worried about their leader.
By the next day, the Mayans, pixies, pets (and ants) were in a nearby rental shack close to a dirt road. Walking would take about an hour or so, so Aisha thought this was a perfect time to ride, in style.
While looking at some motorcycles, four-wheelers. Aisha suggested they take some dune buggies since it can help fit four people in each buggy.
After renting out some dune buggies, helmets, and goggles. It was time to ride. Ben would be riding along Aisha, Kanou-a, and Rokai in one buggy. Lance, Albedo, Miranda, and TK in another miniature cart. Kevin, Gwen, Kaprosca, and Ke-inno tagged along together. Koniel, Nova, Harper, Josette, and Helia were in a dune buggy, but a thin wire was attached from Ben's buggy, that way they wouldn't lose control of the cart.
"Now, let's get it on." The moment Aisha said that Ben turned the ignition and the buggy roared to life and soon the Mayans were riding along the dirted road and hoping the voice would return and help her along the way.
*Oh oh ah oh ah
We run the world like a family
Spinnin' out 'cause together we
We ride out, ride out, chasin' legacy
Ride out, got the whole squad, yeah
We on the go, ghost ride the whip, is our tire smoke?
And the cruise stay tight, yeah, everybody low
We just havin' fun 'cause this is how we roll
'Cause they can't hold us, stay so focused
Streets, they made us, never slow up
Got your back for life, the bomb can't be broke
We didn't come to lose, so we doin' the most
"Woooooooohooooooooo!" TK shouted and looked at the view of Mexico with amazement, he even took some photos with his phone. The wind hitting their skin and of course, adrenaline was hitting the boys as well. While the pixies were on their bonded Mayans lap.
"Are you trying to beat me, Tennyson?! Do you want me to humiliate you in front of your girlfriend?" Kevin shouted to Ben.
"You want a knuckle sandwich, Kevin?!" Ben shouted back, making their girlfriends sigh.
"Loser has to do laundry for a week!" Kevin shouted and Ben nodded in agreed and soon they pressed the peddles to go much faster than ever, leaving the rest behind, so they had to catch them up. Aisha, on the other hand, saw a town below them along with the flag pole and the Mexican flag, moving along with the wind. It was all peaceful until..
Ah-ahhhhhh Ah-ahhhhhhh...
The voice... Aisha thought and used her magic to stop the dune buggies and jumped out of the cart and looked around. They were in the middle of a freeway as she pulled her photo, where she angled it in front of a mountain, covered in moss. As she took off her helmet and goggles while she was comparing the photo and the mountain.
This can't be, right? Aisha thought.
"Cousin Aisha?" The four mermen got out of the kart, worrying about her.
"Bestie are you ok?" Miranda got out with the help of Helia as she took off her helmet and put on her leather jacket.
"Aisha?" Pooka flew toward Aisha and soon. She jumped over the railing of the freeway, sliding down the mountain and everyone was in shock from that stunt she did.
"Bestie!" Soon everyone followed her, leaving Albedo and Fixit, sighing.
"Here we go again..." Albedo took ahold of Fixit and soon slid down to meet with the others.
Down below the freeway, they were surrounded by trees, very large trees. A calm breeze hit them and Aisha heard the voice again.
"Is it that voice again Bestie?" Miranda asked.
"Voice? What voice?" Kevin asked. The others were confused as well.
"Cousin Aisha told me along with Friend Kirby and Friend Miranda that she heard a voice calling her," Kanou-a explained.
Okaaaaay, she's finally lost it. Kevin thought.
"If this voice can help me locate my mom, then so be it," Aisha announced and fixed her hair for a moment.
