Thanks to: Ley, Mama Sama, Rei, and AngeloflightPd for all your reviews.
Chapter 12: Another fairy and more preparations
A few seconds later...
"Okay, where are you? Come on out."
"Hello Duo." Duo turns around to see another fairy appear.
"Kali, so you're who called me out here?"
"Yes, but for a good cause."
"Oh what?"
"Who's that?" Duo turns around to see Hilde nearing them.
"Oh no, you have to hide."
"What? Why?"
"I can't explain right now. Just do it."
"But Duo--"
"Now, do it now."
"Okay, okay." She goes to fairy size and then hides behind a flower near Duo, just as Hilde reaches him.
"Hi Babe."
"Duo, what's going on?"
"What do you mean?"
"Why did you just walk off?"
"Oh that. I had to, heh, um, keep doing what I was assigned to do for the Ball."
"Are you sure? You left so quickly, I thought it was something else."
"No, it was that."
"Then why I have this feeling that--"
'Oh no.' "Babe, why would I lie to you?"
"I guess you're right."
"Look, we'll talk later. Okay? Deal?"
"Yes, deal." He smiles at her, before quickly kissing her. "Don't you have a job to finish?"
"Oh right! I better go. But we're talking later, got it?"
"I know." She smiles at him, as she walks off, and he sighs relieved.
'Their power. It's starting to awaken. Oh, I only hope we have enough time.'
"Wow Duo, I didn't know you were on such friendly terms with her. I'd be jealous if we weren't just friends."
"Kali, don't start."
"What? What did I say?"
"Nothing...Yet that is."
"Ouch, that's mean."
"It's because I know you too well Kali, that's why."
"Fine then. I'll see you later. Who knows, maybe I can meet her too." She says, and then disappears, and he sighs tiredly.
Meanwhile...
"And that one with that one and that one. Yes that's the right combination. That should do."
"It looks good Lady Adriana."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"What about these flowers Lady Adriana?" Another person asks, holding up a bouquet.
"Hmm...Place them over there by that flower arrangement by the fountain please."
"Okay."
"Wow, the garden looks so changed." Adriana turns around to see Quatre come up to her.
"Is it a good change or a bad one?"
"Well, very good. It's for the Annual Ball, isn't it?"
"Yes, we were all assigned to do something each."
"You're doing your job very well."
"Uh, um, well, thank you. Have you finished your job?"
"Yes I have. Do you have a lot more to go?"
"No."
"Well then do you mind if I stay here and wait until you finish."
"Um, well, sure." 'I wonder why.'
'This all better work out well. I fear everything will go wrong if we don't do everything right. But then, why wouldn't it?' "Good."
"Um..." She stops.
"What is it?"
"Oh, never mind."
"You can ask me anything you want."
"That's good to know. I'll remember that."
"What?" She smiles at him, but then he sees her eyes go serious. "What's the matter?"
"Who is it?"
"What?"
"Why are you calling me?"
"What are you talking about?"
"I don't...I have what? Wha--" She's cut off, as she sees only black, as she passes out.
"Adriana!" He says, as he catches her.
"Sir, what happened?" One person asks, seeing what happened.
"I don't know." 'But I fear to think of what I suspect is right.' "I'm getting her to the healer. Continue everything here."
"Y-Yes Sir."
'I hope what I'm thinking isn't happening yet. We're not ready yet.' He thinks, as he starts heading for the Healer with her.
