After the bus dropped me off, I walked to my house. When I got there, the first thing I did was let the dogs outside to burn off some steam. Then I went pack some things to go to Sierra's.

"Lets see…what should I bring?" I grabbed my red backpack and put a couple of books, some games, my CD's and CD player, and my laptop. After that I let the dogs back in and made sure they had food and water. "Okay guys, see ya later! Don't tear up anything while I'm gone!"

Once I got outside, I found out it was a good thing that I brought the dogs inside. The sky was pouring with snow. It was going to be a "very" long walk. But before I could move a step, I heard what sounded like an animal crying coming from the woods in my backyard.

"That's odd, the only animals around here are pets from other houses and deer, and that sounded like neither one." I decided to take it upon myself to find out the strange noise. When I got to the fence which separated our property from the woods, I heard the noise again. I was starting to get a little scared, it might be some drunk or something, but I still kept going. When I got to the back of the woods, there was still no sign of anything. I was about to head back when I heard it again. It was coming from behind the tall fence at the very back. When I started climbing the fence, I heard what sounded like water. When I got to the top, I couldn't believe my eyes.

"Oh my god…!" The back area part of the forest was now a beautiful lake. "How did it become a lake so fast without anyone knowing? Hey what's that?" I looked down and saw what looked like a dock.

"Why the hell is there a dock? Why would they need that? Hey there's something on it!" After I climbed down the fence I ran toward something white.

"What in the world?" The white thing turned out to be a bird, but it was different from a normal bird. It's wings were colored in an assortment of colors ranging from purple to green, while it's beak and feet were silver.

"What type of bird are you?" Before my question was answered, a huge gate appeared right in front of the docks.

"What in the freaking hell??!!!" Before I knew it, I was being sucked into the gate! "We need to get the hell out of here!" But it was to late. I was sucked into the gate so quickly, I didn't even have a chance.

"I should of known not to come out here!" And with that I was gone.

"Any sign of her Aoki?" Zidane said trying to stay stable.

"No word…I'm so sorry your majesty."

"Its not your fault, just keep looking"

"Yes your majesty"

****************************************************************************

Aoki was walking toward the back area of the castle, scanning for anything unusual.

"Why in the world did the princess leave? She wasn't kidnapped, I'm sure of it." He looked around. Nothing in sight. "What a nice sunset." he said to himself.

"Squawk, Squawk!"

Aoki looked up. There was a bird flying near the docks. But it was odd, the bird seemed to be pointing to something. Aoki decided to check it out. When he got there, there seemed to be something on the docks. When he got closer, he realized it was a human being.

"Your Highness!" He yelled. He ran toward her. "Your Highness, are you alright?! Please wake up!" She wouldn't answer.

"Thank you." He looked up into the sky and saw the bird. The bird seemed to respond, then flew off into the distance.

"Come on, lets get you out of here" He scooped her up into his arms and carried her inside. He noticed she wasn't wearing her usual outfit. Instead she wore a pink shirt and blue jeans.

"Odd…"

******************************************************************************

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! The princess has been found!"

Zidane stopped pacing around the room and ran over to him. "Take her to her room while I get everyone!"

"Yes sir!" Aoki carried her to a room on the highest level of the castle and laid on a bed.

"Please wake up soon princess."
