"A really, really nice billionaire?" Jess shook her head. Aussiejewel was so naïve.

aussiejewel realised she was fighting a losing battle. The other things she could care less about, but she had to keep her mirror.

"Let's leave," was aussiejewel's suggestion. "Except for the mirror – that is such a cool mirror!"

That seemed like a kind of good plan – until the noticed that behind them there were two angry Grundo guards.

"You're under arrest," began one.

"Oh no!" cried Jess.

"Gee, looks like we have some adventure here, while I'm riding on your back," Zoe commented.

"Ugga ug ug ugga," said Alexa. "Ugga ug ug ugga ga?"

"What?" asked Zoe. "Don't tell me we forgot to cure you after all!"

"Ugga ugga," Alexa croaked sadly.

"So after all this flying, we have to fly back to the Healing Springs?"

"Ga," was Alexa's small response.

"Well then... off we go, I suppose!"

Alexa and Zoe turned back and headed off for the Healing Springs.

"Your pet gains three hit points! Sorry, that was the best I could do!" the Healing Faerie smiled prettily, and nearly convinced Zoe to forgive her.

"Ugh!" Zoe cried as they walked away. "You still have Ugga Ugga, and she still grants you hit points!"

"Ugga," Alexa replied grumpily. "Ugga ug ga ugga do now?"

"What?" Zoe turned and looked at Alexa, convinced she heard a 'do now'. "What was that?"

"What'll ug ugga now?" Alexa ventured.

"Alexa, you're recovering!" Zoe celebrated.

"How, I ugga?" Alexa wondered.

"No idea, but you can talk now!" Zoe was so happy, she nearly forgot about Jess & aussiejewel, until Alexa reminded her.

"Ugga find the others!"

"Stupid guards!" Jess was yelling at the Grundos. "As aussiejewel will tell you, she was tricked into thinking they were replicas from some salesman... right, aussiejewel?"

"I chipped a hoof!" aussiejewel whimpered. "You'll pay, Grundo guard! Just wait til my brother gets here, tigger2002guy, he'll beat you soooo easily! I bet you're not even suscribed to NeoFashion magazine!"

"aussiejewel!" Jess cried, exasperated. "These are the guards of Faerie Castle, arresting innocent bystanders like us 24 hours a day! Do they have time to read NeoFashion magazine?"

"Yes!" cried aussiejewel. "And I want my mirror back too. I bought it fair and square, from the really nice billionaire!

According to aussiejewel, anyone who sold her a mirror wasn't a robber.

"aussiejewel, you bought it fair and square from someone who didn't steal it fair and square! What about the Hidden Tower, the Faerie Queen, the normal people who actually buy stuff from the Hidden Tower?"

"Who cares?"

Jess sighed. aussiejewel was always a shopper first and kind second. aussiejewel wouldn't return her mirror until she was given a court order. And even then, maybe not!

"Ugga ga, Faerie Castle. Do you think ugga ugga Hidden Tower?" Alexa asked.

"Um, you're the one with the brains!" Zoe said, waiting for her intelligent pet to answer so she didn't have to.

"I don't ugga, they sprinted ga, not flew ga," Alexa responded.

"So you're saying that we've got to trespass?" Zoe asked.

"Ugga want Jess back or ug?!"

Zoe sighed. "I guess so. Let's go."

Alexa heaved at the huge double doors and jumped back as she saw aussiejewel and Jess being dragged by two tough-looking Grundo guards.

"Hey! Watch what you're doing! You're trying to kill a famous person here!" Zoe yelled.

"You're also under arrest!" one Grundo guard announced. "For aiding and abetting a crime!"

Alexa sneered. "Ug crime?"

"What are you talking about?" Zoe asked. "Jess and aussiejewel weren't involved in a crime!"

"They were found in posession of stolen goods," one guard said. "Worth up to thirteen million altogether."

"aussiejewel was tricked into buying them," Jess told Alexa and Zoe. "She spent 30,000NP of my money on that, too!"

The guards ignored Jess, and took all four to the Faerieland Jail.

"What's happened to them?" Blanche worried. She was quite good at worrying, and this time she'd worried herself into a frenzy. Which wasn't hard because her owner, sister, friend and friend's owner had all gone missing. Which would have worried most people but because she was Blanche, she was doubly worried.

"Shh," BeatofSaint01 said. "We'll learn something soon."

"Hey, look at this!" cried tigger2002guy. They all ran to the window, where a pink letter with wings was flying towards them.

"Now that's what I call speedy," tigger2002guy said, plucking the letter out of the air. "Misters tigger2002guy and BeatofSaint01, and Miss bubbles2003neo... oh no, this doesn't look good."

Jhudora plucked the letter out of his paws and began reading it herself.

"Oi!" yelled tigger2002guy angrily. "That's my family and friends! Minemineminemine..."

"Well, there's some good news and some bad news," Jhudora said, ignoring him.

"The good news?" asked Blanche hopefully.

"They haven't fallen into the 'wrong hands', as they say. But then again, I am the 'wrong hands'."

"And the bad?" asked BeatofSaint01.

"opalgirl26 and aussiejewel have been arrested on six accounts of robbery. And diamondzoe4 and alexasparkleli have been arrested on one account of aiding and abetting a crime."

Lucky was horrified at this news, and so quietly slipped away to find his lost owner.

"Ugga ugga brain, think of ga ugga ug ugga us out of this situation!" Alexa repeated to herself.

Zoe whistled. "Uh, I just wish that Adam was here to clear us up."

"Don't," Alexa warned.

"What?!"

"Ugga sing a lullaby," Alexa reasoned. "That's the ugga ug I can think of."

"Ugh, can't we just go to sleep?"

"Ugga ugga ugga meditation?"

"I don't think we could get them to meditate," Zoe replied.

Jess and aussiejewel had completely lost track of the conversation and were just playing noughts and crosses on the cell wall.

A familiar scritch-scratch sounded in the jail. Many prisoners looked up, but it was just Alexa's Lucky.

"We finded you!" Lucky announced.

"Ugga!" Alexa declared. "Lucky, you ugga cute-face those ga ug guards there, ugga we'll ug sneak ga and get BeatofSaint01 to get Jhudora ugga!"

"Okie! Hey guards! We're hungry!" Lucky called.

"Aw, such a cute petpet!" one guard said.

"And look! It's pretending to be hungry!" pointed out the other.

"Mom, ugga ga Plan B," Alexa sighed.

"Alright, let's go!" Zoe said cheerfully.

"BeatofSaint01! Ugga your help ga!"

"We need Jhudora for once if you want to get your owner back!"

"BeatofSaint01, ugga there?! Bring Jhudora ga! Ga ug want your mom to be fried ga ug ugga or ga?!"

Zoe lowered her voice. "I have a feeling that that's not the real Fyora, I mean, she let thousands of other pets into the Faerie Castle before, right?!"

"Ug mom says ga ug Fyora that wrote ga note isn't ugga same! I'm sure ugga wouldn't ugga!"

Jess looked up from her twenty-seventh game of noughts and crosses then, as one of the guards had handed her a note.

"Oh no," she breathed.

"Whaat?" aussiejewel moaned.

"We're going to be tried... tonight."

"For what?" Zoe asked. "Clearly, aussiejewel wouldn't rob the Hidden Tower, would she? Or you? And if you didn't rob the Hidden Tower, how could we have helped you?"

"No... but we need to prove it! How can we prove it? I suppose we'd need to call Queen Fyora up as a witness... but she's the judge! Are we allowed to call the judge up? And what if a Uni did rob the Hidden Tower?" Jess was thinking.

"Mum, you're fantastic!" aussiejewel yelled happily. "A Techo sold me the items!"

"Really?" asked Jess. "That's great. But did he buy the items from the real thief?"

"Um, I don't think so," answered aussiejewel. "He had a black coat, and a black mask, and a black outfit... except he was a bright Red Techo. Funny that. But anyway, what innocent bystander would dress as a thief?"

"Circumstancial evidence," dismissed Jess. "Circumstancial evidence is what they got us for too."

"Well, it's the best I've got," replied a grumpy aussiejewel.

"Well, you know what I still think?" Zoe asked.

"What?" asked Jess.

"I think that that's not the real Fyora."

"Why do you say that?"

"I don't know..." Zoe shook her head. "It's just a feeling. But, I mean... robbing the Hidden Tower and kidnapping Fyora at the same time... makes sense, right? Blame it on some innocent bystanders and you're covered, because everyone believes you're the Faerie Queen. It's a perfect plan."

"Ugga ug other faeries?" asked Alexa. "Surely ugga tell they're an impostor."

"I know," Zoe said. "The only thing that fails against my theory."

"Well, first things first," Jess said, "clearing our name. We can deal with this Fyora business afterwards."

"But Fyora's our witness, remember? If she's an impostor, our case would be ruined."

"I know, I know. But they have to prove beyond reasonable doubt that we're guilty, right?"

"Right," Zoe said.

"So, where are our disguises? Our plans? Our hideout? All things a false Fyora would be likely to get wrong... having never have seen either of us, because of that Techo sidekick."

"And if they don't?"

"Well, we're in big trouble then, aren't we?"
