R4994W: Hey peoples. How are you doin'. Sugar, sugar, sugar, sugar, sugar, sugar.

Matt: How much sugar are you supposed to have a day?

Chapter 5 Nice To See You

I searched frantically around my room. I fell to the ground, trembling and crying. Shadow came up and licked my face. I had an idea. I held the box that my necklace was in under his nose. He searched the room too, but no luck.

Mike heard me crash to the floor and ran in, Midnight following. He looked shocked to see Shadow and I searching every inch of the floor. "What's the matter? Are you okay? What are you doing?"

"Mom's necklace! It's gone!" I yelled, still looking.

"What do you mean it is gone?"

"I mean it's not around my neck, it's not in the box, and it's not in this room!" I quit searching and backed into a corner, still crying.

"It is okay. We're going to find it. If it isn't in this room then it has to be either outside or in this house. Think, when's the last time you had it?"

"Well," I said threw sobs, "after I got back from Mr. and Mrs. Arlen's house I put it on. Then I showed you Silver and gave you your dare."

"Then I did the dare."

"Then I fought the captain. He must have it!"

"Why would he have it? He's a guy." I think Mike was confused.

"I don't know why, but he has to have it." I ran out of the house and burst through the barn doors. I ran over to Goldie and mounted her bare back. I clicked my heels on her under side and she ran full speed toward the homunculus building.

When I got there I was pounding on the door. "Let me in! NOW!" The same skinny-faced man came to the door. "Take me to the captain." I ordered.

"Fine by me." He said as he grabbed my arm quite tightly. I didn't like the way he said it but I was going to the captain. We passed by many, many cells until one caught my eye.

"Joey, is that you?" I said running over to the door of the cell, only to be jerked back by the man. "Hey, let go. I want to talk to Joey."

He looked at my strangely. "You know Greed?"

"Greed, who's Greed?" I looked back over to the cell. That was Joey all right. Joey and I used to play together all the time when we were kids. We were best friends.

"Hey Rose. How are you doin'." He smiled grimly. He didn't seem the same.

"Come on." The man jerked me forward.

"Hey, I was talking to Joey!" I snapped back.

"His name isn't Joey. It's Gr-. Why am I telling you this?" He stopped at a steel door and pushed me forward. "Here he is."

I put my hand on the handle. It felt strangely warm. I opened the door and a huge blast of heat came to me. I fell backwards, being caught by the man. "Thanks." I said quietly.

He lifted my up and I walked into the room. It was like an oven! I looked over and the captain was sitting there in a white tank top and blue jeans. He wasn't even sweating!

"Why is it so damn hot? It's the middle of summer! Where's your uniform?" I thought I was going to die from the heat.

"Why are you in your pajamas? Where's your clothes?" he said smugly.

My face flushed, but it didn't stay red for long. I looked him up and down. Man he was hot! He was only eighteen and he was already a captain.

"What are you looking at?" He yelled.

Now I blushed, badly. "Nothing! Now where's my necklace!"

"I simply don't know what you are talking about."

"Don't play coy with me! Give it to me!"

"Fine, but you have to do a task for me."

From behind him I could see Goldie. She was galloping in the moonlight. I forgot to tie her up. Then I saw some kind of animal chasing after her. "Oh NO!"

"What!" He yelled confused.

"Goldie!" I yelled back.

"Who?"

"My horse!" I ran through the door and ran down all the twisting hallways. I finally reached the outside doors when a man grabbed me. "Let go of me. I have to get my horse." When he didn't let go I punched him in the nose. He fell back, releasing my arm.

The captain ran up and looked at the private's nose then looked at me.

I ran out the door. The captain was standing in the doorway, watching. I let out that long loud whistle and Goldie came running, something still following her. I ran behind her and saw it was that big wolf again.

I stood holding out my hand. The wolf looked at me like awe man you party pooper. He started to wag his tail as I petted him. I stopped and he ran away.

I heard clapping from behind me. I turned and saw the captain leaning against the doorway, clapping. "Nice talent. Or is it more then a talent? Maybe a very special gift."

Crap he knows I have another power! "It's just a talent."

"Oh really. You might want to look behind you." He pointed to Goldie who was bowing. I went over and mounted her.

"Forgetting something? Tomorrow, 8:00 a.m., be hear and we'll discus your necklace."

"You better give it back."

"Oh a threat." With that he turned around and went back into the building.

Man, he's a jerk but he sure is hot. He doesn't seem so creepy anymore. I kept thinking of that over and over as I rode home, blushing, terribly blushing.

R4994W: Hahahahahaha! Me need more sugar! (acts like a weird little grimlen) My precious (strokes sugar bag)
