Chapter 4

 "Safe At Last & A Partial French Lesson"

          When the helicopter finally landed at the Indigo Plateau landing pad, the four princesses knew that they were finally safe.  Bruno turned off the helicopter and while he doing that, Lance opened the helicopter doors and helped the four princesses' out of the craft.  After he did that that, the rest of the elite team climbed out of the helicopter and walked over to where Lance was standing with two of the four princesses' on his left and right side, waiting anxiously to find out what was going to going to happen now that they were in the company of people they could trust.  Bruno was the one who broke the silence saying to Aurora,

"Well, Aurora this is the Indigo Plateau, I hope you weren't expecting a full-fledged city or something." 

Aurora said in response, "It doesn't have to be a full city to be a great place to be."

"How right you are," Bruno agreed.

Then Lance spoke up and said, "Bruno, don't you think that we should let these ladies have a good night's rest after the journey they had to make so suddenly?"  Lance asked.

"Oy!  You're right, I almost forgot." Bruno exclaimed.

Then he turned to face the four princesses' and said, "Ladies, if you will follow us, we will take you rooms in our Headquarter Building where you can rest and get some sleep after the journey you had to make."  Bruno said.

Bruno then took Aurora's hand, Koga took Rosella's hand, Will and Karen took Lauren's hand, and last, but certainly not least, Lance took the hand of the timid Crystal.  The elite lead the four princesses' down a long hall until they reached a door that Karen opened and Lance led the four princesses' into the room, and turning to face the four princesses'. Lance said, "My dears, you can rest here and get some sleep."

Lance then left the room and met back up with his friends outside the room.

"I suppose this means that we'll see all of you princesses' later on." Koga said as the elite left the room and the princesses' to their thoughts.

Once outside, Karen the only female member of the Elite Four spoke up and said, "I'll catch up with you guys later, because I want to see if the princesses' need any help settling into their new surroundings for the moment at least."

Bruno said, "That's fine with us, just be sure that you catch up with us later."

"I guess we'll be seeing you later on, Karen."  Will said.

"I guess so."  Karen said. 

Then Lance addressed Karen and said, "The princesses' may or may not want help, since they are probably going to be pretty tired after their sudden trip they had to make."

Karen then replied, "I agree with you, Lance."

Karen said, "So if the Princesses' are too worn out to want any help, then I'll leave them in peace and rejoin you guys a lot sooner."

Karen then followed the French Princesses' into the room Lance had told them that they could use.  When Karen opened the door, she was shocked because she found the four princesses' ready for bed discussing the events that had befallen them in rapid, fluent French.  They were so fluent that Karen just stood in the doorway amazed because she had never met anyone who could speak French so well.

The sisters didn't notice Karen at first because they were so into their conversation.  At last, Aurora finally noticed Karen because she said, "Hush, we'll discuss this more later, since Mademoiselle Karen is here."

Karen then turned to Aurora and asked, "What does Mademoiselle mean?"

Aurora answered, "Mademoiselle is a long French word that means 'miss'."

"So when you addressed me the first time, you called me Miss Karen."  Karen said catching on fast.

"You got it." Aurora replied.

"Well anyway the reason I came in here was to see if you ladies needed any help settling in." Karen said.

"I thank you for your kind concern, but I think we've got it pretty much taken care of." Aurora replied.

"Well then if you ladies have everything under control, then I'll leave you ladies in peace, and I may check in on you girls later to see if anyone needs something." 

"Well adieu for now, or goodbye for now as you would say, Karen." Aurora said.

Karen replied, "Adieu for now, girls." 

After she said that, Karen left turned on her heel and walked out of the room.
