Location: Fogging Bloors Academy Corridors
Chapter thirteen
As the occupants of Bloors Academy slept plans brewed and were put into action. Quickly the castles corridors were filled with a thick fog, impossible to see past the end of your nose. Many bathroom attempts were put off as soon as the fog was spotted and the castle was the most silent it had ever been, the air seemed to hint something was about to happen. Something big.

"Tancred's fog is everywhere..." Erin whispered to Amber who just shivered and hugged her pink dressing gown closer, "Amber! You can't wear that dressing gown!"
Amber scowled and tucked a loose strand of hair back into her short ponytail,
"I can and I will, besides Tancred and I are going to swap."
Erin giggled,
"...Tancred in a fluffy pink dressing gown...?"
Amber sniffed sadly,
"He'd probably look better in it than I do at the moment."
"Well..." Erin looked Amber up and down, "I can't argue with that...But that's not the point, you managed to get pretty damn close to the goal. I personally can't tell easily and I'm your sister..."
"Oh yay..."

"Ready?" Leah greeted Asa with a peck on the cheek.
"As ready as I'll ever be," Asa yawned, "So are we meeting everyone here?"
"Yea..."
They stood in nervous silence.
"Storm Boy's cooked up a good fog."
"Yea, saw that...Lets just hope that - Tancred...Why are you wearing a pink fluffy dressing gown?"
Tancred glared at both Leah and Asa,
"One word and I'll drench both of you."
Leah and Asa tried to hide their smirks as best they could.
Amber stomped in just as moodily after Tancred resulting in a gasp from Leah, who rushed over to Amber, she then began to examine Amber's appearance,
"You look so much like Freddy! What do you think Asa?"
Asa walked over to Amber,
"Manfred's a little taller, plus you need some facial hair..."
Amber grew taller and reluctantly concentrated, slowly a few wisps grew out of her chin,
"I hate you people," She muttered.
Tancred put an arm around her,
"Hey, we all know it's not really how you look..."
"Didn't know you swung that way, Tancred," Charlie joked entering the room late with Erin, who still seemed to blush on regular occasions.
Tancred looked slightly worried, but his arm remained on Amber's broad shoulders,
"Ignore him."
"Planning on it."
Leah laughed,
"Anyway, you all know what's happening?" Before anyone could answer she continued, "Asa gets Manfred out of his room, they split, Tancred and I corner him. Tancred you then clear the fog in the immediate area, I tell him what I think of him, we let the snake do his thing," She lifted the snake out of the basket and allowed it to curl itself up her arm and rest across her shoulders. "While he does that, I'm going to attach this leash to him," She pointed out a pink leash with bells on it, "When that's all happening Dr. Bloor and Ezekiel are going to be confront by Amber/Manfred who tells him about what's going on down stairs, Erin and Charlie you'll be outside ready to jump in and save Amber if something goes wrong..."

Asa pounded on Manfred's bedroom door,
"Manfred!!! Wake up!!!"
There was quick footsteps and the door swung open,
"What the hell are you doing?! Have you gone mad?! It's friggen twelve-thirty!"
"That doesn't matter, storm boy is up to something."
"Like?"
"Look for yourself..."
"Rather not. What's happening?"
"He's fogged the whole castle, can't see nothing down there."
Manfred sighed,
"Any idea what he's doing?" Asa shook his head. "Did you try asking?" Asa shook his head again, Manfred let out a groan, "Do I have to do everything around this joint?!" Asa shrugged, earning himself a hit across the back of the head, "Idiot."
Leah ran a finger down Asa's back,
"Ignore him," she whispered.

"I look horrible!" Amber exclaimed, "I look like an ugly guy!"
"You look like Manfred, which is what we want so get over it..." Erin said.
Amber sighed,
"I guess I better go in..." She bit her lip, "Anyone want to go first?"
Charlie and Erin exchanged a look,
"You're kidding right?" They both said.
"Besides we're only supposed to go in if there's trouble." Charlie reminded her.
"I was hoping you'd forgotten that..." Amber muttered, she went to knock the door, but froze, "I can't talk!"
"What? Of course you can...Just open and shut your mouth like so..." Erin opened her mouth then closed it.
"No, no, I've told all of you so many times! I can't talk! My voice is still the same! What am I supposed to do in there?! Pretend I've become a friggen mime?!"
"Sounds like a plan!" Charlie said.
Amber glared,
"No funny."
Charlie shrugged,
"Well I don't know...How about we change the plan...Um...How about as soon as it becomes absolutely essential for you to speak...Me and Erin jump in and...Do something."
Amber's shoulders drooped,
"Yea...I think we had a better chance at miming." She turned to face the door once more and knocked.
"Who is it?" a voice called from inside.
Amber squared her shoulders and pushed the door open.
