"They've got the verdict now," Alexa said. "I'm almost certain it's against us."

Jess hung her head in shame. She'd never actually broken the NeoLaw, but almost felt like she had.

"The verdict is here," announced the impostor Faerie Queen. "Defendants, please rise."

"diamondzoe4 and alexasparkleli," she began, "have been found to have knowingly assisting opalgirl26 and aussiejewel to scam the Hidden Tower. Therefore, they cannot be frozen and will instead both be issued a warning."

Zoe sighed with relief: a warning. She could live with that.

"opalgirl26 and aussiejewel, on the other hand," she continued, "you have both been found... what?"

The impostor Faerie Queen paused to stare at something at the back of the room.

"What on Neopia is going on?"

"Stop!"

A loud, thundering voice issued from the back of the room. Everyone in the crowd turned around to look at the odd group: Jhudora, Fyora, Blanche, tigger2002guy and BeatofSaint01.

"This is madness, utter stupidity, idiocy, craziness..." Fyora stormed up to the front of the room, where she met with what could have passed as her identical twin.

"Reveal yourself!" she yelled loudly, and the other Faerie Queen's features blurred and morphed, until she became a young faerie, wearing black and red, with jet black, super straight hair.

"Is this your Queen?" she spat, angrily.

The Techo Lawyer ran up quickly to try and defend Jahanara (the impostor Queen) - after all, they were in league with each other.

"Guards!" yelled Fyora. "Take these two to that nice dungeon downstairs."

Techo Lawyer and Jahanara were taken away, Jahanara screaming "We're not the only ones! They'll still get you!"

Queen Fyora wandered over to the defendant's table, almost cautiously. "Now, what's been happening here?"

"Well," said Zoe, "both Jess and aussiejewel have been knocked unconscious at one stage, and Alexa and I have been found guilty of helping Jess and aussiejewel scam the Hidden Tower... and that phony Techo Lawyer over there did nothing but talk, he hardly even asked questions, and all we could do was answer questions..."

"You are displeased," Fyora said grandly.

"Well, to put it in a word - yeah!"

"Don't worry," said Fyora. "All four of you will be given a full pardon. Now, I believe you have some family and friends to reunite yourselves with."

Jess, Zoe, Alexa and aussiejewel looked back at the three other pets. They got out from the defendant's desk, and ran towards their family and friends.

"That was wild!" tigger2002guy yelled. "We got this note thing that said you were arrested... and then Jhudora had this premonition thingy that said Fyora was kidnapped... so we went to a balcony place... and then Fyora was there... and then these Dark Faeries came along and went nyah, nyah, nyah, and then Fyora was gone, so we went to the Dark Faeries' hideout, and Fyora was there, and we came up with a portal and we went run, run, run, run, run, run, to get to this courtroom place to save the day!" He jumped around excitedly to emphasize the point. As he was a Baby Kougra, this looked very cute.

Jess laughed happily. "Well, thank goodness you did save the day... imagine! Me, frozen? Well... at least I'm not!"

"Well, what happened with you?" asked Blanche. "Probably more interesting than ours, huh?"

"Only if you like headaches," said Jess.

"Or sore throats," added Alexa. "I think Zoe was the only one who wasn't injured at some point."

"Nah," Zoe insisted. "I stubbed my toe on the library."

"How'd you do that?" asked tigger2002guy.

"I kicked it."

Everyone laughed. This was so good. They hadn't all been together since... well, part one. About five hours ago.

"Pizza!" declared Jess. "After this, we all deserve some."

The group made their way to Jhudora's Cloud, where they picked up the seven petpets and took a flying transporting thing down to Neopia Central.

The group spent awhile discussing their different experiences on the whole thing. The petpets mentioned that they did a lot of sleeping - then they fell asleep. Typical petpets.

"The thing I don't understand," said Alexa, a slice of pizza held between her hooves, "was why Jahanara yelled 'they'll still get you... we're not the only ones? What does she mean, not the only ones? Who would the other ones even be?"

"Maelstra, I suppose," answered Blanche glumly. "And her gang. We encountered them enough... isn't that right, BeatofSaint01?"

"Guess so," answered BeatofSaint01. "Don't know what they could mean, though."

"Maybe," said tigger2002guy hopefully, "she'll join up with Doctor Sloth and there'll be another war, and I can fight... arrr!" tigger2002guy play-bounded at a toy left lying on the floor. "And maybe I'll be able to defeat these monsters really well! Mum, when was the last time I went to the battledome?"

Jess laughed. tigger2002guy was usually very active - he reminded her of a kitten, only he didn't drop off and sleep at random times. "It's one in the morning!" she cried. "You're lucky the pizza shop was even open at this time..."

"Oh no!" cried aussiejewel. "I need a mirror... how do I look? Gosh, I must look awful..."

aussiejewel bolted up the stairs, five at a time because she was a Uni, until she found the bathroom.

"That aussiejewel," laughed Zoe. "Send her off to save the world, and she fusses about some mirror."

"Do you think we really saved the world?" Jess asked. "I mean, WE were the ones stuck in court listening to petty insults. I think I know who really saved the world."

"And who was that?" BeatofSaint01 asked eagerly.

"Jhudora," answered Jess. "From what you guys have said... you pretty much just tagged along, didn't you?"

"Nuh uh!" insisted tigger2002guy. "We talked, too!"

Jess laughed again. "Funny how the Neopian Times hasn't bothered to NeoMail us yet. I mean, someone saves Faerieland... you don't simply ignore them, right? You NeoMail them every few seconds. Well, I thought reporters did that anyway..."

"They're probably going to end up with some stupid article on how Jhudora and Jahanara attacked Fyora and the seven of us ran to help," Zoe said wisely. "You know how reporters are. If they forget to look up the truth... they make up the truth!"

"I know it," Jess said. "They'll probably be trying to tell us that the Chia Police saved the day or something, and we just NeoMailed them."

"Sounds like them," Alexa agreed. "Gee, I'm tired."

"Well, it's quarter past one," Jess said. "You guys should have gone to bed long ago. But then again, you guys should have gone to bed at the Faerie Castle or something. So, you guys should probably go to bed now."

Blanche, BeatofSaint01 and tigger2002guy ran up to bed, and also to tell aussiejewel that she shouldn't keep piling makeup on now, because it was bedtime.

"Have a great day," Jess said to Zoe and Alexa as they left. "And don't forget to tell me if an article pops up."

The next day....

"Mum!" yelled tigger2002guy excitedly. He bounded around the hallway excitedly.

"What?" asked Jess impatiently as she followed tigger2002guy to the kitchen table.

"We made the paper! We made the paper! We made the paper!" tigger2002guy chanted happily.

Jess sat down and started to read.

"FAERIRLAND - A scuffle happened in Faerieland two days ago that involved the Faerie Queen, Fyora, a Red Techo, and seven passers-by. Reports are still unclear, but it appears that Jhudora, Jahanara and the Red Techo conspired to take over the throne of Faerieland by arresting her. Luckily enough, rubygirl26, americanjewel, tigger1976girl, Alexa, emeraldzoe5, Blanche and SaintofBeat01 were there to save the day. They NeoMailed the Chia Police the following message: 'help, help! We are at Faerie Palace. Jhudora is here and she is attacking Fyora! And she's got another Dark Faerie with her!' The Chia Police responded quickly and well, sending 72 armed Chias storming inside the castle, arresting Jhudora and Jahanara. Jhudora was later released due to lack of evidence, but Jahanara remains in custody. 'This does NOT mean that Jhudora wasn't involved,' protested the Head of the Chia Police, Gerald the Chia. 'It merely means that she has outwitted us for now and covered her tracks. But don't worry, there will be a full enquiry into the matter and I am SURE that we'll get her this time!' The Chia Police have known that Jhudora is a master criminal for quite some time now, but she has outwitted them every time - hopefully not now. For our exclusive interview with american jewel, turn to page three."

So Jess turned to page three, already quite angry.

"I saw, like, two Dark, like, Faeries, with like, two purple wands. And, like, there was like, a big green flash, and like, Fyora was hurt, and like, I said, like, let's go tell the Chia Police. And the Chia Police fixed everything, like, totally. And then, like, Fyora said I, like, rocked and, like, I deserved, like, a medal for bravery. And, I, like, said no, and, like, she was totally hurt, but, like, I think she'll get over it."

tigger2002guy looked up at Jess, waiting for her comment.

"Complete and utter rubbish," Jess declared. "They didn't get our names right, that 'interview' with aussiejewel was baloney, and whole article's a pack of lies, and... it's just STUPID!"

Jess stormed away from the newspaper angrily.

"Must've been a BAAAAD few articles," tigger2002guy muttered.
