Title: Reigning Memories

Chapter: 11- The plan that was bound to fail

In Condor Kingdom

Emma was furious. How dare the children even think of doing such a thing? Anyone who would be wise would run at the sight of her. Her black hair had been tied into a firm pony tail, and in her brown eyes shone a furious glint that was enough to make anyone petrified. The children had written a note to Sir George telling him that he had a secret admirer, and since she was the only female of age in the kingdom all pointed to her. She marched over to her brother who was about to run when she grabbed him by his shirt. "Where are the children?" Emma asked enraged." It was only a joke meant for amusement of the children thought up by Ralphy. Emma was about to unleash her fury on him, she no longer thought about that fact that he was a mere child. In fact she was thinking about throwing him in the dungeon after beating him up. "Emma sister, this isn't wise...." Joe said as he kept his distance from his sister. He was scared of her and more importantly what she could do. "Joe, if you know what's good for you, you will tell me where they are at." Emma hissed.

Sir George had been strolling along the pathway, still thinking about the prank that the young child had pulled on Emma. He let out a chuckle and stopped when he heard yells from Emma. He found it to him amusement the scene that was being played out before him. Emma was glaring dangerous at the Prince, while Sir George could have sworn that he was trembling. He decided that he best intervene before things got out of hand. "Ah, Princess Emma what are you doing?" Emma's cheeks redden, she let go of Joe's shirt, and straightened out imaginary wrinkles on her navy skirt. "Why hello dear knight, I was just lecturing my brother here." Joe finally understood why Jet liked to tease Francoise and him so much, it seemed like fun. Just that thought brought gloom upon him. "Francoise..." But no one heard him; his words were carried off by the wind.

The children plotted secretly in the basement away from Emma. "Wow Ralphy, you sure got yourself into quite the mess." Tommy commented as he shook his finger at a very stubborn Ralphy. 'But its no fair, you guys helped too, why isn't she angry at you guys!" He exclaimed. "Yeah I'm glad she's not..." Commented Maria. The rest nodded and went back to work.

"The small one has no reason to fear, come Emma will not harm you." The children looked to the mysterious voice that had spoken. There stood a girl who was about Tommy's age. Blonde strands of hair riveted down her shoulders and unto her back. Her brown eyes shimmered in the darkness. "Who are you?" Tommy said more in awe at her looks than asked. "I am Princess Melody of Castillo, cousin of dear Emma." The girl stepped out of the shadows to reveal a beautiful gown with diamonds sewed into it. "Pretty..." Carrie Ann said at the dress. "Yes, very pretty..." Tommy said not commenting on the dress but on Melody. Melody showed no signs or acknowledging his compliment and kept on. "Well let's go, suppers almost ready." The children had so many questions about this new acquaintance, but they keep their mouths hut. Melody saw Emma and waved, Ralphy hid behind her skirt. Emma's face lit up and she ran over to Melody. She embraced her and bowed as accustomed. She shot a glare at Ralphy but quickly hid it from Melody with flashing a smile. Melody walked into the palace with an obtained smile on her face, and then she saw Joe. Emma whispered in her ear; "Sorry cousin he's already taken, that's my brother." Emma didn't want anything messing up their plan. Melody gave Emma an amused smile. She introduced herself to Joe and decided to leave because it was beginning to get late.

Emma in the end forgave Ralphy only if he apologized to Sir George and himself. Sir George wanting to tease Emma a little bit said; "Why would they be apologizing to you, was it you who they were referring in the note?" Joe let out a snicker. He quickly stopped himself; he didn't want to catch Jet's bad habits.

With Jet and June...

June had fallen asleep under the continuing bumps of the carriage. Every once in a while Jet would cover her with his jacket to make sure that she wasn't cold. Her brown hair lay limply over her face, casting a shadow over her eyelids. Jet wanted to speak to June because it was so boring but he wasn't about to deprive her of her sleep. Suddenly as if his wish had been granted June began to stir, she sat up slowly. She let out a small yawn and looked at an amused Jet. She remembered their earlier argument and she turned her head and sniffed. Jet's face was puzzled. He had completely forgotten about it, he was too busy concentrating on June's face, in the entire trip. "What is it, did I do something wrong?" June had to laugh. "Nothing, nothing..." She said as she straightened herself out. She looked at the cloudy skies out the window and shook her head. It was going to rain. The carriage driver stopped for a moment, put on a raincoat, and continued the way home.

"So what's been going on while I was asleep?" June asked rubbing her eyes. "Nothing much, actually nothing at all." Jet said with his trademark smirk. June sighed and passed her hand through her hair. "This isn't good at all, at the pace were going we'll be there by the time the kingdom is taken over..." June said with an edge of irritation in her voice. Jet nodded and put his hand on her shoulder. "I'm sure that we'll make it somehow." He said with confidence he didn't have. "I hope that you're right...." June said as she smiled at his efforts. "Hey you want to want to eat something?" Jet asked June. "Yeah sure, I'm really hungry for some reason." Jet took out a trunk of food that had been packed from the time that they had stopped in the mall at the village. Several treats and bakeries were laid out on the seat between the two. They ate and ate until neither one of them could fit another bite. "Wow, I'm stuffed..." June said. Jet's mouth was too full to say anything back.

Before they knew it they had both fallen asleep. June's head resting on Jets shoulder. The carriage driver smiled looking at the pair in the back, sound asleep. "What a pair that they make." He said as he chuckled. They were almost there.

In the Condor Kingdom....

The plan had been tripled checked over and over again. They were all set to rescue Francoise from the Kings grip. What they didn't know was that they real king was tied up in a closet, they were really dealing with Scarl, and that June and Jet were heading there to warn them. But would they arrive in time, or will they be captured by Scarl? Stay tuned to the next chapter--Emma's secret Revealed

A/N: Hi guys! I don't know but I just felt like doing the little narrator thing at the end. Well I will say this; this story is almost coming to a close. I don't think that I'll make a sequel for it, but maybe I will if you guys convince me enough ^_~. But anyways my muse has been giving me some great ideas for the next chapter and I can't wait to get started on it.
