Wow, I didn't expect so many reviews for this story. Especially seeing how long the previous chapters have been. I'm trying to make them longer as I go, since this story isn't updated as regularly as my previous ones.

Ringleys Wish: No Respect

Ringleys had flown to the mirror with Kitchel when the two had found Thatz. When he heard the thief shout out his name, he flew down to Kitchel's hands. It was a move he would live to regret.

"Thatz?" he asked. "What's wrong? What happened to you?"

That was too much for Thatz, and the thief-turned-faerie lunged for his youngest companion, clamping his hands around Ringleys neck, and vigorously shaking the boy.

"YOU TURNED ME INTO A FAERIE YOU OVERGROWN DRAGONFLY!" Thatz screeched. "WHEN I GET THROUGH WITH YOU, YOU'RE GONNA WISH YOU HAD DISAPPEARED WITH THE FAERIE FOREST!"

"K . . . Kitchel" Ringleys gasped.

Deciding this was a good time to intervene, Kitchel grabbed Thatz by the back of his jacket, lifting him up into the air.

"Leave Ringleys alone" she ordered. "He didn't do anything."

Thatz stopped struggling, but crossed his arms, still hanging in mid-air.

"Yes he did" he muttered. "He made a wish on the Dragon Eye. I know he was lonely, but why'd he go and change me?"

"Dragon Eye?" Ringleys repeated, flying to be eye level with Thatz. "I didn't make a wish on the . . . " Ringleys eyes widened, and remembered what had happened the night before.

"Ringleys?" Kitchel asked, just before the faerie went into guilt overload.

"Oh Thatz I'm sorry!" Ringleys all but squeaked. "I didn't mean, I didn't realise . . . I didn't do it on purpose. It was just . . . "

"Wait, wait" Kitchel butted in. "Ringleys made a wish on the Dragon Eye without meaning to, and now Thatz is a faerie. A faerie . . . "

She managed to keep a straight face for about 5 seconds, then burst out laughing, dropping Thatz in the process.

"Thatz is a FAERIE! Bbb, bah ha HA!, hee hee, gasp, hahahah!"

* * *

"AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Kitchel!" Thatz shrieked, falling to the ground. To normal sized Thatz, the height would have been nothing. To faerie Thatz, it was terrifying.

"Wah! Work wings work!" he shouted, trying unsuccessfully to get his newest body parts to move. Fortunately for him, Just as he was centimetres from the ground, Ringleys caught up to him, and grabbed him, making them both land on the ground awkwardly.

"Thanks Ringleys" Thatz muttered, forgetting temporarily how mad he was at the younger faerie.

Ringleys nodded. "Its okay."

The two then turned around to see Kitchel, quite literally rolling around on the floor with laughter.

"Faerie Thatz, bahahahahhHAH! Can't stop, hahah!"

Both boys sweatdropped.

"Its not that funny" Thatz muttered. "Well, let's just get the Dragon Eye and reverse the wish.

Ringleys nodded. "I'll go and wish on it right now" he said, and flew to the table. Seconds later, his head appeared at the edge of the table.

"Its gone!" he shouted.

"What! Where is it?" Thatz shouted.

Ringleys shrugged. "The map and everything else is gone too. There's just an envelope addressed to 'The Dragon Knight.' But it's too heavy for me to open or lift down there."

"And I don't know how to fly up there" Thatz muttered. "Kitchel can you . . . " He stopped when he realised Kitchel was still laughing hysterically. Remembering what had happened when Ringleys had thought he was an elf, he groaned.

"Well, she's useless for the next hour" he complained. Just then though, he had a brainwave.

"Hey! I'll just summon Earth to fly me up there!" he shouted. "He's big enough in his smaller form." He started walking towards his sword, not noticing the look of worry on Ringleys' face.

"Um. Good idea Thatz" Ringleys started. "But if you're a faerie, are you still a Dragon Knight?"

That stopped Thatz in his tracks. Rune had sacrificed his elfin powers to become a Dragon Knight. Would it be the same the other way around?

"Well," Thatz muttered. "It doesn't hurt to try." Reaching the sword, Thatz placed his hand on it, and tried to summon Earth.

* * *

At first, it seemed nothing was happening, but Thatz shouted in delight when the sword's surface rippled, and the rocky face of Earth appeared.

* * *

Earth stretched his wings and looked down at his master. Then did a double take, and another. Then, looked at himself.

Yeah, he was chibi sized, but his master was smaller than him, not to mention he now had his own wings.

Wait a minute, wings?!

Thatz collapsed and Ringleys sweatdropped as Earth fell to the ground, laughing in a hysterical fit not unlike Kitchel's.

"Look on the bright side" Ringleys said. "At least you're still a Dragon Knight."

To be continued . . .

Up at the end of the week, just like I planned. Next chapter, Kitchel and Earth finally stop laughing, and discover that Ekidonna's not as dead as they had though. R&R!
