Ali: Sorry it took me so long, guys! Here is the third installment of Gaia School of the Arts. Enjoy!

Aelia blinked a bit and opened her eyes. She was lying in a vast meadow of green grass. Kadargo lay in the grass next to next on her right side. On her left side, Ali was curled up with a long staff in her right hand. It was pure white and silver with small wings towards to top. Suddenly, her eyes widened. Under her left arm were two small plushie-looking dolls. They both had small horns of demons. One had shaggy purple hair and gray-ish skin. He also had a small flower in his hair. The other one looked slightly familiar… With bright red hair down to its shoulders.

"Aelia?" the girl jumped up her right arm going back and her left coming up in front of her in defense.

"Whoa! Hold on! It's just me," Peaches blinked at her friend. "Where are we? And what's that?"

The pink-head pointed to Aelia's right hand, which was curled around a giant hammer. The silver-haired girl brought it in front of her. "I don't know. It seems to be a giant hammer. Where are Ace, BW, Tim and Spork?"

Peaches looked around. "Well, Timmy and Spork are over there. Spork is kind of glowing and Timmy has a mask on. BW looks a lot different. He's knocked out cold. He's kind of wearing a surfer outfit and he's got blond highlights. I haven't seen Ace, but, I see you've found Ali and K."

Aelia looked down at Aliana. There was something peculiar going on here...


Ace opened his eyes and blinked. Where was he… what had happened? He looked around. All round him was green. He looked to his left and his eyes widened. Another guy was there. He had dark purple hair and gray skin. He had matching demon horns and a small yellow and white flower in his hair.

"What the-?" He tried to get up when he realized that something was holding him back. "Hey!" He looked down and saw an arm wrapped around him. Now that he was quite frightened, he looked up only to see the familiar face of Ali who was slowly opening her eyes.

"Hey!" he yelled up at her. She winced and then looked down at him.


Aliana slowly opened her eyes. What had happened? After she opened that book, she couldn't remember anything.

"Hey!" a small voice yelled to her. Wincing, she looked down and he eyes got big. "Ace?" she whispered.

"Ali?" Peaches was standing over her. "What are you mumbling about?" Aliana looked up at her pink-haired friend. She had an inquisitive expression as she looked down.

Ali looked from Peaches to Ace. "Hey… who's that?" she asked her shrunken friend.

Ace looked to his left. "I don't know; he was there when I woke up. Hey… can you let go of me?"

Ali blinked and then grinned. "Yeah, sorry Ace." The redhead crawled out of her arms and into the grass. Ali stood up, still holding the unfamiliar boy who was sound asleep. She also noticed her staff.

"So… where are we?" she looked from Peaches to Aelia. The silver-haired girl was still looking at her giant hammer. Peaches was looking around at the others who were still fast asleep.

"I'm not sure…" Aelia answered in a distant voice and Peaches looked back to her. "Me neither."

Ace on the other hand wished he hadn't asked to be put down because he couldn't see anything through the thick grasses. "Ali!"


K blinked his eyes slowly as he heard Ace's voice in his ear calling for Ali. "Ow… My head hurts…" The oldest boy sat up and looked at Aelia. "What's up?" he grinned. Aelia rolled her eyes and turned towards where Peaches was headed trying to wake up BW.

"Ali!" Ace's voice sounded again but K couldn't see him. Rubbing his head, he looked towards Ali, who was waving a staff around. "Ali?"

Aliana looked at K. "Oh, you're up. That's good, how are you feeling?"

K grinned sheepishly at her. "I'm ok… where's Ace? He's calling for you but I can't see him."

Aliana blinked before she started looking in the grass. "What's up Ace?" She picked up her shrunken friend and held him out to K. The navy-haired boy stared with his eyes clearly wide in shock.

"He shrunk," Aliana grinned. "We don't know why." Then she looked at her small friend. "What do you need?"

Ace looked away. "I can't walk… it's too grassy and I can't see."

Ali grinned. "Sure, I'll carry you. You want to go on my head or my shoulder?"


Timstut blinked and sat up. She felt quite different…

"Spork? Do I look different to you?" she shook her friend awake without looking at her, but instead looking at her surroundings. In the distance she could see bright purple and navy blue. 'Ali and K…' Over to the left of them was silver and pink… 'Aelia and Peaches.'

"Ahh! Oh my god, Timmy! Why are you wearing a mask?"

Startled, Timmy turned to look at Spork who was quite frightened. "Spork, why are YOU glowing?"

"Glowing?" Spork looked at one of her own hands. It had a faint aura around it. Bright pink. "Oh no, I AM glowing!"

Timmy felt her face. She was wearing a mask… why wouldn't it come off?


"Aelia? Peaches? Where are we?" BW looked around.

"Not sure," Peaches said. "But so far, K and I are the only two who haven't gone through weird changes or transformations."

BW raised a black eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

"Well… Aelia has her giant hammer, see?" Aelia held up the hammer. "Ali has some sort of white staff. Timmy is wearing a blank mask and Spork is glowing. K and I are perfectly normal."

BW thought through it all. "What about Ace?"

Aelia answered this time. "He shrunk."

"What?" BW looked bewildered. Then, he saw Ali coming over. "Hey, BW you're up!"

BW looked at Ali. There was the staff. She was holding something else too, under her arm… "Who's that?" he pointed.

"We still don't know," K came up behind them with Spork and Timmy who'd finally calmed down.

Ace popped his head out of one of Ali's curly pigtails. "Wake him up."

Aelia took the sleeping boy from Ali and then shook him a little. Slowly, the boy opened his crimson eyes.

"Hi," K said as Aelia held him out for everyone to see.

The small boy looked at each one of them before yawning and stretching. "What a nice nap," he grinned and stood up before hopping to the ground. Before their eyes, the new-comer grew to normal size. "My name's Cajanic, but most people call me Caj."

"Ok, nice to meet you Caj. I'm Kadargo. This is Aelia, Peaches, Timstut, Spork, BW, Ali and Ace is on her head."

"How'd you do that?" Ace asked. Caj grinned. "Well, you just have to want it and say your favorite food really. But, I would advise not doing it yet because you'll crush… Ali, was it? Yes, you'll crush Ali if you say it on her head."

Ace nodded slowly before hopping onto Ali's shoulder and then to the ground. Nobody heard him say anything but suddenly, there he was, standing right next to Ali and in his normal size.

"Why do we have these abnormal powers and weapons?" Aelia asked as she examined her hammer once again.

"Yeah, and what can Kadargo and I do?" Peaches added.

Caj thought a moment. "If you haven't discovered it already, than you'll know soon enough. But please, I've asked you here for a reason. We must hurry and find the princess. She will have our mission plan." Then, he started walking.

"Hold on!" Timmy called after him. He turned around. K stepped forward. "Where are we, exactly?"

"Oh! Excuse me, how silly! I forgot to tell you who you are, where you are and why you're here!" He hit himself lightly on the head. "Well, you're the guardians of this place and we need to go save the heart of this land from the evil Dark King Creon. This is the world of Kellopolis."


Ali: Hope you enjoyed that! I'm sorry, I know the names at the end are stupid.. It was a spurr of the moment kind of thing. And… I know this chapter was a bit boring, hopefully the next will be much better. See you soon!
