They said their goodnights, and Adriane drifted of to sleep.

Now: Pink-Haired, Black-Haired People in Effingham

The next day, Liz woke everyone up for breakfast at 7. Kara groaned as she remembered what had happened the night before. She did NOT want to go around wearing black. It had no color in it! She couldn't even get to keep her hair color. Noooo. She had to be turned into an Adriane replica. Kara sighed as she walked out into the bathroom to get ready.

Zach doesn't mind that much. I mean, come on. He doesn't look bad in black!

And hour later, Kara walked into the living room, where she saw Adriane and Lorren talking in hushed tones, suspiciously I might add. Adriane whispered something and Lorren grinned. Kara started to walk over until she saw Zach walk in. She strode over to him instead.

"They're looking really sneaky. What do you think?" she asked.

"Yup. Wanna go see what it's about?"

Kara grinned. "You read my mind." The two went over to where the other two were sitting. When they got two feet away, Adriane looked up.

"Oh, hello," she said breezily. Kara cut to the chase.

"What are you two going about?" she demanded. Lorren broke into a fit of giggles.

"Well, now that you're asking - oh look! There's Emily!" Adriane waved Emily over. "Emily! Over here!" Emily walked over.

"What's happening?" she asked after seeing Lorren, trembling with giggles. She smiled inquiringly.

"They were just about to TELL us. Adriane come on! I want to get the day over. You know I hate black!" Kara raged.

"Okay. Well. We were thinking that, well; Zach in black (A/N: I'm a poet and didn't know it!) wasn't all that embarrassing. Sooooooo, we've decided that, Zach, you'regonnawearpink!" Adriane spit out before she fell on the couch, screaming with laughter. Pretty soon, Emily joined her, and the couch was loaded with two girls and a guy having laughing fits. Zach looked murderous, and Kara looked furious that Zach got to wear the pink.

Pretty soon, the girls managed to put themselves back together. Adriane took a breath and calmed herself. "Okay. Now, we need to go to your rooms to change everything to black and pink." Then she turned towards Emily. "C'mon, Emily. Let's go before breakfast gets ready." They raced upstairs to Zach's room, as it was closest. Kara and Zach ran up, close behind.

Zach's door burst open as the warrior stepped in. She crossed the room and threw open the wardrobe. Suddenly, she turned around and smiled.

"Say buh-bye to your clothes as you know them, because they're gone." With that, she turned around, aimed her jewel, and fired. In a flash of pink light, Zach's clothes disappeared from the closet with colors…

And reappeared completely pink. Zach did not say nor do anything. He just stared.

Emily spoke up. "Umm, Adriane, I think you've given him a heart attack." She snapped her fingers, and Zach came back to this world. Adriane walked slowly, her jewel in the air.

"Zaaaaach. Do you know what it's time for? It's time for being pinkified!" With that, Adriane swept her jewel over Zach, and his hair, and clothes turned…

Pink. Yup you guessed it. Cookie for you!

Zach, who had his eyes closed for this part, slowly opened his eyes and looked in the mirror. He looked like a guy version of Kara! The color drained from his face.

Emily stepped over worriedly. "Zach, are you okay?"

He waved her aside. "Yeah, just a little shocked, that's all. But now… Kara's turn!" Zach started to grin as Kara glared at him.

"Noooo! Dang it!" She trudged to her room. Adriane pushed passed, and Emily followed.

Adriane spoke up first. "Emily, would you do the honors?" she bowed lowly.

Emily bowed back, repressing giggles. "Yes, yes I will." Emily opened the closet. She stared in shock. She never knew Kara had so many clothes! Holy crap!

Emily raised her jewel as she heard a whimper from behind, presumably Kara. With one sweep and a puff of black cloud, her whole wardrobe turned black.

"Noooo!" Kara rushed over. She stared at her clothes in distress. No color whatsoever!

Emily crossed over to Adriane. She whispered, "Should we do it now, save hassle?" Adriane nodded. They linked arms and walked behind the frozen Kara. They raised jewels, and Kara's beautiful blonde hair turned midnight black. She actually looked similar to Adriane. Suddenly, Kara screamed. She had caught sight of herself in the mirror. Adriane used her jewel to stifle the scream.

"Shhh! You have to be quiet!" Adriane told her fellow mage. "Now, let's go down to breakfast. I'm hungry!"

The family soon got used to the pink-haired boy and raven-haired girl after they told it was for a bet. They were curious, but didn't push it.

Finally, it was time for some people to head out to check Effingham. They decided three people just this once. Two were Kara and Zach, of course, and the other was Emily. Emily was to go to work the video camera and tape everything. Lyra and Ozzie weren't going to go, because they'd scare the people nearby to death.

"There is no way she's taping it!" Kara yelled.

"Well! The whole point of the bet was for us to see it too!" Adriane shouted. Emily cut in.

"THAT'S ENOUGH! I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOU TWO FIGHTING ALL THE TIME! Kara! We're taping. Adriane, after we watch it, we're burning it. HAPPY?" Emily was mad. No, not mad, furious. She had listened to their bickering too much. They sounded like an old married couple! The other two knew when to back down. All of a sudden, Karlos popped into the room, scaring everyone out of their minds.

"Hey, what's going on? I heard screaming. Oh, hi Emily." He smiled at Emily. She in turn scooted back as far from him as possible.

"Umm, hi?" she replied. Karlos walked closer to her until he was only a foot away.

"So, do you want to hang out sometime? I'm not doing anything." Marlin glowered at him, and Emily shifted uncomfortably.

"You know what? I would love to, but I'm busy. Sorry." Emily tried to put on a saddened face, but it didn't work out too well. More than ever, she just wanted for him to GO AWAY!

"Aw, come on, Em. It's just today. I'm sure whatever it is you're doing can wait. Let me guess. You were going to go wash your hair?" Karlos smirked.

"I already did. Are you implying that my hair looks a mess? Besides, I DO have to do something." Emily glared at him.

"Oh, no. It's just an excuse all the girls use when they don't want to do something. You have beautiful hair. What is it you have to do?" Karlos actually looked sincere.

Emily was about to make something up, when Marlin butt in and stepped in front of her.

"Look man, she has something to do. Now bugger off!" Marlin looked REALLY intimidating, but for some reason Karlos didn't look fazed. In fact, he looked even more determined.

"I will not 'bugger off.' You can just go stick your head-" He was interrupted by Emily.

"Karlos, you better not finish that sentence. Marlin, it's okay. I can handle myself." She placed a hand on Marlin's arm. He blushed and stepped back." Karlos took the time to speak.

"Aw, taking orders from your 'girlfriend'? Well, back off," he lowered down to a threatening whisper that only Marlin could hear. "She's mine." Unfortunately for him, Emily heard this too, and oh boy, she was getting madder than before.

"First of all, Karlos, I am not his girlfriend. And second of all, I am NO ONE'S. I am my own person. You better leave my friends and me alone, or you will wish you never messed with Emily Rose Dorothy Marie Jennifer Fletcher. Do you understand?" Emily's voice was lowered to a whisper, but everyone could hear. It had grown deathly quiet. You could hear an ant drop.

Karlos backed up frightened. "O-okay, Emily. Whatever you say. Goodbye, Emily." He turned and ran out of the room. Emily smiled triumphantly as everyone stared at her. They had gained a newfound respect for Emily. Kara was the first to break the silence.

"Is there a reason you have like, five different middle names?"

Emily laughed. "It's four, and my mother couldn't decide on one, so she picked four. So, anyway, let's get going."

Kara smiled as she shook her head in disbelief and called out, "Okay, d-flies! Front and CENTER!"…

Fifteen minutes later, Zach and Kara were grumbling as they walked down Main Street, Emily strolling along behind them, holding a video camera, taping everything from the two in front of her, to the looks on people's faces that passed. Finally, Zach turned around and asked Emily,

"When can we stop?"

Emily smirked. "Oh, I was just waiting for you to say something. We could have stopped at anytime. We even could have checked where we first came out of the portal."

Emily swore Kara's eyes glowed red for a second after she finished. "EMILY!" Kara lunged at Emily, but Zach held her back by the middle. Kara started kicking, biting his hand, and waving frantically while screaming, "LET ME AT HER! LET ME AT HER! LET GO OF ME, ZACH!"

"Only if you promise not to attack Emily!" Although he himself was giving Emily dirty looks while passerby ran out of the area. Emily just grinned triumphantly as Kara reluctantly agreed.

Kara muttered something under her breath that sounded vaguely like, "I hate you."

Emily smiled even harder if that was possible. "What was that?" she asked sweetly. Kara glowered at her.

"Oh, nothing. I just said let's hurry up and perform the search." They walked over to a dark alley. Emily, Zach, and Kara used their jewels to send out pulses of light. Nothing happened.

"Okay, check Effingham off our lists," Kara said.

"What list?" Zach asked. "We don't have a list."

"It's an expression."

But Emily wasn't listening. She was closely examining her jewel. She set down the camera still running, unconsciously aiming at the entrance to the alley.

"Hey, you guys, look at this." Zach and Kara crowded around her. A soft imprint of an arrow was etched onto the surface of her rainbow stone. As she turned, the arrow moved to stay pointed to the same spot.

"Weird. Oh, well. It obviously leads to the portal. I mean, it did it while we were doing a portal search. And it's on Emily's because she is the person in prophecy, so it makes sense." Zach and Emily stared at Kara.

"Wow, Kara, you've outdone yourself. Who knew that you could be smart?" Emily said, only half joking.

"Haha. VERY funny. Now, let's get going. D-flies! Come in d-flies! Earth to d-flies!"

Pop!

Pop!

Pop!

Pop!

Four miniature flying dragon type fairy creatures popped from nowhere. Kara started the instructions.

"Okay, we need a portal to- wait. Where are the others?" A gold one by the name of Goldie chirped up.

"Siiiiiiiiiickyyyyyyy." Goldie stuck her tongue out to show sickness.

"Okay, okay. Put your tongue back in. We get it." Kara said. "Now. We need a portal back to the farm, to Adriane, Lorren, and Marlin. Can you do that?" The d-flies nodded.

The pun in a circle getting faster and faster until the air in the circle warped and a portal formed. The other side showed the farm living room. They could see Adriane, and the two boys on the couch talking. Adriane looked up. "Hey, great your back!"

Zach and Kara went through the portal. Emily stopped. "Wait a minute. Let me get the video camera. Kara groaned. "I thought you'd forget that." "Nope," came the only reply.

Emily turned around just in time to see a swish of black. I probably just imagined it. She picked up the camcorder, and switched it to standby, then turned it off. She paused to look back at the alley entrance.

"Em? You coming?" she heard Kara call from the portal.

"Yeah, coming!" Emily climbed through the portal.

Adriane rubbed her hands in anticipation. "Okay, let's watch it now!"

Zach and Kara protested as Emily, smiling of course – she seems to be doing a lot of that today – crossed over to the TV and plugged in the recorder. She fiddled with the TV settings, and then walked back to the couch and sat between Marlin and Zach, who then glared at her and whispered, "I'll get you back for this." Emily merely smiled and said, "Do you remember what happened with Karlos? Same thing will happen to you." With that, she picked up the remote and hit play. Ozzie settled onto her shoulder to watch. Lyra and Dreamer lay on the floor.

" 'Hey you guys, look at this,'" TV Emily said. The image rotated to settle on the alley. The viewers had to be contented to just listening, when they saw someone pass, then stop, watching the three people they had seen earlier on the TV. It was Liz. Suddenly, her skin rippled until she had a completely different character. They gasped in surprise.

It was the Evil Sorceress.
