Chapter 6: Barn on fire
Ian, Jeremy and Henry ran as fast as they could to the castle to tell the king that the barn was on fire.
Ian bumbed into Spencer. Ian stopped and told him he was sorry and Spencer asked what was going on and Ian told him really fast that the barn was on fire and took back off running.
Spencer stood there and took in all he said. Then it hit him all he said. "That barn is on fire!" He said as he took off running to the barn.
Ian, Henry and Jeremy ran thought the castle halls dodging the workers in the castle. They barged right through the door that the kings and princes were in talking.
"Barn ... fire ... hurry!" Jeremy panted collapsing on a chair out of breath.
"So your saying the barn is on fire?" King Vladimir asked crossing him arms.
"Yes, we saw the smoke!" Ian added.
"And all the girls rushed over that way, well after Gisela! She was the one to say it." Henry told them.
"She told us to get help!"
Conrad looked out the window and sure enough the smoke was coming from the way of the barn.
"There right!" Conrad gasped as they went into action.
Vladimir told Ian, Jeremy, Henry, Antonio and Conrad to go get water and the castle workers. Vladimir, Peter and Louis all ran out of the castle toward the barn.

At the Barn all the girls stopped about 6 feet away a little bit if the barn was ablaze.
"The Horses!" Gisela gasped. "I have to get them!" She told the others as she getting ready to go when Corrine grabbed her arm.
"I think you should wait." Corrine said.
"If I wait the barn will be to far gone and the horses will die!" Gisela told Corrine with pleading eyes.
"I agree with Gisela, if it were Tike, Sagi and Azul I would want to get them out and not wait!" Ro agreed with the dirty blonde.
"I'll help to!" Renée added.
"Same here!" Luciana said as the the rest agreed.
"Okay, I'll help to, when I was little my barn caught on fire and I wanted to get Alexander and Ginger out. So tell us what we need to do!" Corrine told her.
Gisela was happy that they wants to help. "Okay, Renée, Corrine, Liana and I will get the horses out, we'll start in the back and the Aramina and Viveca get the water from the pin over there. There are buckets setting by the opening of the gate. Alexa and Luciana get the animals out of the joining pen And hurry, we don't have much time." Gisela told the girls really fast and she told Azul, Sagi, Tika, Sparkles, Lily, Miette, Kina and Ralph and Tallulah to calm the animals down when they get them out.
Liana, Renée, Gisela and Corrine ran into the burning barn. Smoke filled the barn very quickly, the horses were neighing, but to Ro and Gisela yelling for someone to help! The smoke was really thick so I made it hard to see.
"Liana ..." Gisela coughed. "Evansdale and Filina is straight ahead from you. "Belina and Golden in not to far from Corrine and Renée and I will get the horse directly beside us." Gisela told them as they went into action.
Liana undid Evansdale's stall and let her out, as soon as it was open the black Clydesdale mare fled out. She went to Filina's stall and let the red roan Arabian mare out, she speed out of the barn.
Corrine went to Golden's stall and let the stallion palomino out and he ran out. She unlocked Belina's stall and let out the appaloosa mare out and as soo on the door was half way open she darted out.
Renée got Hyland, a pinto, Pinto horse out right after Bunnies, dappled gray Barb gledling. After Gisela got out Honeycomb a palomino Arabian and James a black and white pinto.
The smoke was so bad when Gisela got to Lonnie a Barb mare and her filly, Buttercup a chestnut Barb, the filly didn't want to go. Gisela tried her best to get her out but she wouldn't budge.
"Come ... on ... Butter...cup ..." Gisela coughed as she went into the stall and tried to push the filly.
She had all four hooves planted on the ground. Even Lonnie nudged her filly to try and get her to go.
"Why ... Butter...cup?" Gisela asked the filly as she coughed.
"I don't what to leave the barn! I'm scared that if I leave it will be to late for Millie!" The filly said. She was talking about her mouse friend.
"Honey, Millie is probably already outside and its getting hot and the fire is on its way here!" The mare told her baby as Buttercup still didn't want to go.
"Not without Millie!"
"Gisela!" Corrine called to the czarevna.
"Yeah!" She yelled back at the musketeer.
"Are you coming!"
"I'm trying to get Buttercup out! Go ahead and go, I'll be right there!" She yelled back.
"Are you sure you don't need help?" It was now Liana who sounded worried.
"I've got it, hurry and help with the water on the barn!"
They ran out of the burning barn.
"Will you please come on!" Gisela begged the filly.
"I'll go out and see if Millie is the and if so I'll yell it to you, okay." Lonnie said running out of the building. She ran up to the other animals. "Have you see. Millie?"
"Who's Millie?" asked Sparkles.
"She's a little mouse."
"No I haven't." The all said but Sagi.
"I seen a little black mouse run to the brick pathway to the bushes." Sagi told the mare.
"Okay, that's Millie, will one of you go get her I gotta tell Buttercup." She said as she troted over to the barn and called to them to tell them Millie was out there.
"Go!" Gisela said as she coughed weakly to the filly ran out of the barn.

Mean while as they girls were getting the horses out outside of the barn while the girls went to get the horses out, everyone was throwing water onto the barn. Beatrice, Gisela's mother was hysterical.
"What if she doesn't come out! What if she's hurt! What if she gets burned up before she gets the horses out! What if she damages her lungs! What if ..." She was interrupted by Spencer.
"Beatrice, she's fine, she's a strong girl that will do anything for others. Including helping them, even if it mean giving her life ..." He tried to explain, but Queen Beatrice just broke down and cried on her husband's shirt.
"There there, everything's gonna be alright." Vladimir told his wife as he stroked her blonde hair.
Aramina looked at the hysterical queen. "Why is she freaking out?"
"She takes thing very seriously and makes a pile of dirt a mountain!" Tiana told them shaking her head.
"Mom can sometimes be crazy!" Five-year-old Czarevitch Alexander sighed as he looked at his sister, five-year-old twin sister Fiona as she nodded.
"What's going on?" Asked a rather clam Duchess Yessenia with her mother Duchess Celina and her father Duke Donald.
"The barns on fire and Corrine, Renée, Liana and Gisela are getting horses out.
"Oh no, that's not good, can I help?" Yessenia asked as Aramina looked at Alexa, Viveca and Ro.
"You could through water on the barn, but that's to much heavy lifting, you could help tend the the horses and animals, but you aren't fond of getting dirty ... So there's not much you can do, but maybe you can help comfort the Czarina?" Timothy said sarcastically to the duchess as she stomped her foot when she knew what she was getting at and stomped off to her finance's mother."She'll get over it!"
"Why is she so clam?" Asked Alexa.
"Everyone around the castle says she a psychopath." He replied with a giggle. Tiana smacked her brother in the arm and looked at him.
"As much as we don't like her, still be nice!" She told him.
"Need more water!" Yelled Jeremy.
"Good grief! Coming Jerm!" Alexa called back as she ran to get another pail from Ro who was now helping along with Viveca and Aramina.
They kept throwing water on the burning barn.
"How much water have we used already?" Asked Antonio.
"Maybe 30 gallons ..." Replied Conrad as he and Antonio passed the 1 gallon buckets of water.
"Do you know what I'd do to pour this water over my body." Sighed Luciana as she threw another bucket of water on the barn.
"It looks like it could collapse at anytime!" Alexander said petting Lily and Sparkles.
"Me too, I hope they get out in time!" Fiona added holding a lamb in her arms. "There, there Lamby!" The girl said petting the white lamb on her head.
"I agree!" 16-year-old Czarevna Darlene exclaimed giving the chickens some feed. "Hey, hey, hey, Han be nice, let Nubben get some." She scolded the chestnut colored chicken.

Mean while, the other animals were calming down he horses that we're riled up about the fire.
"There was so much smoke! I thought no one was gonna come!" Honeycomb sighed drinking up a bunch of water.
"Oh yes, it was hot!" Evansdale sighed drinking up the pale of water Aramina got for the horse.
"I am glad to be out here!" sighed Belina.
"I hate fire!" Azul said .
"At least you weren't in a burning building!" Snapped Bunnies as she drank the water.
"Oh be nice Bunnies!" Hyland told the mare.
"On and island we never had a fire, so it is kind of scary." Tika said.
"Of course its gonna be scary! It hurts people!" Ralph said.
"It was oh so hot!" Golden exclaimed stamping him foot on the ground.
"Just from right here im getting a draft!" Azul complained.
"Oh, get over it!" Bunnies snapped again, this time it was at the prince of peacocks.
"Bunnies! Be nice!" Hyland shot at the white mare.
"Is she always like that?" Asked Lily
"Yes." Kina told them. "Be glad I'm not."
"Ha!" Ralph mechanically laughed at Kina's statement.
"What so funny!"
"And you say your not like Bunnies! You are! All the time!"
"Watch it Ralph, I've got claws and I am not afraid to use them!"
"Oh okay!" Ralph replied but didn't believe her.
"Why can't you all get along?" Miette asked.
"Its what's we do. It's hard to get along wit someone you have always known." Kina replied to the other cat.
"Oh, Alexander and I get along great! He was always there to support me when I wanted to be a musk-cat-teer!"

Renée, Corrine and Liana ran out of the barn covered in black soot and they were coughing up a storm. Ian went and held Liana, Louis and Corrine, and Renée and a very cute musketeer names Gerard that Treville told that he had to come with. And Renée was pleased with it. Unlike Corrine.
"Are you okay?" Asked Louis to Corrine.
"I'm fine at least I wasn't getting the brunt of the smoke like Gisela." Corrine replied.
"You look like a hot mess!" Chuckled Ian as Liana gave him a glare.
"I am a mess and I am hot, so I am both." Liana told him as she quickly added. "I don't see what's so funny about that."
"Renée you look even for beautiful with soot." Gerard told her as she blushed a bit.
"Thanks." She replied with a smile.
"Dis you see that!" Aramina whispered to Viveca.
"No." She said looking at the redhead.
"Renée was and still is blushing!" Aramina quietly squealed.
"Oh boy," Viveca sighed.
"Renée, blushing? I don't believe it!" Corrine who over heard their conversation said walking over to them.
"Look at her, her cheeks are bright red!" Aramina told her.
"There red from the heat!" Corrine countered.
"Sure, but she was blushing!" Aramina told her.

The smoke was so thick Gisela was having trouble getting out, but somehow she made it out. When she reached the outside the barn collapsed, Gisela fell but was caught by Spencer. He picked her up bridal style and walked away from the barn.
"Are you okay?" Spencer asked as Gisela weakly smiled and nodded. "No your not! You need to see the doctor." He walked over to where her parents were as set her on the ground.
"I'll go get the doctor here!" Timothy and Tiana said in unison as they ran off to the castle.
" Gizela ! Chto vy dumayete idti v goryashcheye zdaniye ! U vas seychas , chto moglo sluchit'sya ! Vy mogli by ubili ili khuzhe! Znayete li vy, chto vy polozhili menya mysl' ! YA dumal, chto ya sobirayus' tebya poteryat' ! Saray byl vot rukhnet , kogda vy vyshli . YA dumal, chto ty umer! I pri vsem etom dym! nikogda ne delat' etogo snova ! "Her mother scolded her as if she got caught with her hand in a cookie jar.
"I ... help ... love ... animals ... anything ... them." Was all she could get out because it was hard to breathe.
"I know, but be careful next time, if there is a next time!" The czarina told her daughter as she understood what she said.
"You look horrible! Let me help you with your dresses!" Viveca said looking at Liana, Corrine, Renée and Gisela.
"Viveca you can help Gisela get changed and ready for the doctor right?" Spencer asked the brunette musketeer.
"Oui Oui!" She replied as Spencer kissed his girlfriend on the head.
Aramina sighed. "How romantic..." Everyone turned to the redhead as she smiled. "What it is!"
"We know!" Everyone said in unison as they laughed. The fire was out and all was left was a pile of rubbish that use to be the barn.
"What are you going to do with the animals?" Asked Ro as Antonio rapped his arm around the princess.
"We have a open pasture that we can put them in, its usually used to train horses, but I don't think we're doing any training anytime soon." Vladimir said.
"Spencer I'll go with you, Viveca, Corrine, Renée and Liana to help Gisela after you set set down on the ottoman and I'll take it from there." Beatrice told him as they went off.

Despicable Margo: No I don't. I know its a bit of a shock, but I haven't celebrated it ... goodness many, many years. Since mom found out its origins are pegan and not Christ like. So we don't celebrate it. But even though I don't celebrate it, doesn't mean I still don't watch movies about Christmas and I sing the carols all year long! Just because I like em so much!
Guest: (please if you gonna leave a message put a name down, even if its not nice) When someone reviews about a story or what ever it mean that they like it so much to leave the support for the story.

Happy new year's day! I just had to post it on this day. Now I will be working overload on this and my other stories! I've kinda got writers block so I'm not to sure about this chapter.
