Disclaimer- I don't and NEVER WILL own dragon knights…

Author's note- some one asked why Thatz lost…well, most (if not all) the other characters wouldn't gamble unless drunk (some wouldn't gamble even when drunk)…or under extreme pressure to gamble…and I didn't feel like making them drunk or under extreme pressure, so…*I'm kinda lazy*

Chapter Three- Plan B

Rune was sitting rigidly as Thatz explained his Plan B.

"See, all we have to do is hand Kharl a couple of sleeping pills…and then when he's asleep we snatch Water and Earth and when Kharl wakes up we convince him he lost a game of Go Fish and that we won out Dragons back!"

"So we drug him, steal from him, and then lie?" Rune said.

"That's the plan."

"Stupid plan…but it may work…" Kharl's veery gullible…

Without remembering that sleeping pills aren't supposed to be in Draqueen, they got to work with Thatz's plan.

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

"This castle's so boring," Kharl whined as Garfakcy put away his collection of cleaning supplies. "They don't let me do anything!!"

"They don't trust you yet, Lord Kharl," Garfakcy said.

"Maybe I can help someone in the castle!" Kharl said. "They'd trust me then, right?"

"Maybe, but-"

"Maybe I can help Alfeegi with his paprework!"

"Lord Kharl-"

"And I'm sure Ruwalk would love to have help with all that treasury stuff."

"Kharl-"

"Let's go help, Garfakcy!" Kharl said proudly. Garfakcy sighed.

"Of course, Lord Kharl."

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

"You see him?"

"Not yet."

"How long do we have to wait?!" Rune asked impatiently.

"Wait, there he is!" Thatz said, peering around a corner down the hall. "Crap, his human henchman's with him."

"Then we'll drug him too!" Rune said in a kind of desperate/crazy voice. Thatz stared at him.

"You alright there, Rune?"

"Course I am!" Rune said in an unpleasantly happy voice. "We're about to drug two people and steal their possessions!! WHY WOULDN"T I BE ALRIGHT!?"

"Quiet, they're coming," Thatz said. As soon as Kharl and Garfakcy rounded the corner, Rune and Thatz jumped out.

"Hi!" Thatz said, smiling. Rune had an eerie grin on his face.

"Have some juice!!" Rune said, holding out two glasses. Kharl instantly took both of them.

"You're so kind!" He said, smiling. He gave one to Garfakcy, who eyed the glass suspiciously. He swallowed the whole glass in three seconds. Garfakcy took two small sips. Suddenly they both fell to the floor.

"It worked!" Thatz said, picking up Garfakcy on his back.

"Where are we putting them?" Rune said, that eerie smile still on his face.

"Good question…"

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

*Come ON!* Water wrote, dragging Earth across the room.

*NO!* Earth wrote, digging its small claws into the floorboards.

*Fine!* Water wrote, dropping Earth. He picked up a glass that had been conveniently placed near their location. *Drink this.*

Earth, who was very thirsty after running around the room, took the glass and swallowed the contents without questioning them. Five minutes later he was wobbling around.

*What was that?* Earth wrote sloppily.

*Just wine.* Water wrote. *Come on* he wrote on another card. *while you're still drunk…*

*Ok!!* Earth said, hiccuping along the way to the door.

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

"Hello Rune, Thatz!" Ruwalk said, passing the two in the hall (as they were just closing a closet behind them).

"We didn't just drug Kharl and Garfakcy and stuff them in this closet!!" Rune said quickly, that scary grin still on his face.

"What was that?" Ruwalk said, blankly staring at Rune.

"He said nothing!!!" Thatz said, covering Rune's mouth.

Ruwalk watched Thatz and Rune suspiciously as they ran down the hall. They get weirder and weirder every day…

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

"This is it!" Thatz said, opening the *unlocked* door to Kharl's room. Rune glanced around nervously. As soon as they got in the room they tripped over a pile of books ("That stupid wizard needs to organize his stuff!!").

They saw the drunk Earth leaning against the tired Water.

"Let's grab them and go…" Rune said, still darting his eyes around nervously.

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

Will Rune's paraniod thoughts become a reality? Will Garfakcy and Kharl actually wake up from all that medication Rune put in their juice? And will Ruwalk tell anyone about his suspicions about the two very suspicious dragon knights? Find out in the next chapter!!

Sorry it took so long; I've been updating other stories and almost forgot about this one ^_^.
