Oh yeah, I keep forgetting the disclaimer! Well, here it is: I DON'T OWN ANYTHING AT ALL EXCEPT Des, Mo and Di. By the way, I'm Des..*grins* anyway, back to story!

K was trying to keep her mind on getting to the headquarters when she met a fellow VFD member. B smiled at her and explained that the meeting had been cancelled because many members were unable to come that night. They were at the Duchess of Winnipeg's Masked Ball.

As B and K walked along, k couldn't help but think about those six little figures. Should I tell B? she thought to herself. Maybe B could help. But B might also get the notion that she was not devoting herself to VFD enough by thinking of those silly little creatures. K decided to keep quiet for now.

K sighed. Unfortunately, B noticed.

"K, what's wrong?" B asked with concern in her voice. " Um..I don't think you'll want to know," K replied. " That's' okay, I may be able to help," b insisted, gently pressing K to tell her.

K took a deep breath and told B all about the six freaks/kids. B's eyes widened at each sentence, and she furrowed her brow in worry.

"Are you absolutely, positively sure that you saw those- um-"

K interrupted, " I'm positive." Seeing B still look skeptical, she added woth a grin, "God promise."

K and B stood speechless for a moment, and then B started pouring out with words as if she wanted to talk but didn't know what to say.

Suddenly, both B and K saw pink, blue and green streaks flash across the sky. To their astonishment and shock, the streaks came down from the sky, landing on the ground just in front of them. At the end were the three strange girls.

B was astonished. "W-W-W-Were those the flying kids?" she almost whispered. K knew she shouldn't have told B. It just put more stress on her. Now, because of her, B was turning into a maniac. But somewhere under those startled eyes was fear. Pure fear. B was actiong like she had just seen a ghost. Did she somehow know these strange kids?

"Mrs-" "Ma'am-"

"Beatrice!" blurted out the third, a blonde-haired girl with blue eyes.

"B-B-B-Bubbles?" B asked, her eyes widening again. "B-Blossom? Buttercup?"

She knows them? How? From where? This is so confusing! Thought K as the blood rushed to her head. This was so weird. It was like the world had taken a break from reality. B couldn't have had contact with these strange girls. They were from two different worlds and the VFD members would surely kick her out if they knew about this.

"DIFFERENT WORLDS?!" screamed Buttercup. "WE ARE FROM THE SAME WORLD AS YOU ARE, SO THERE!"

"Y-y-you can read minds!" stammered K.

"Of course she can, " came a voice from above, "we can too!" as another rainbow-this time of purple, gold and orange- came flying down.

It was K's turn to gape in shock.

"D-des? Mo? Di?"
Ooh. cliffhanger! By the way, please read the author's note (next 'chapter'!)
