As the sun set that night Balthazar and Tina exchanged looks of worry and concern.
"I'm scared Balthazar what if Phoenix doesn't wake up in time?" Tina said.
"I don't know all I am sure of is that we need to find somewhere safe" Balthazar replied.
"You mean leave Dream Street?" Tina asked.
"I don't know Tina I don't know anything! I'm just a stupid excuse of a car my mother is evil and my father... well I don't even know who or what my father is Tina, you do you know your parents you know what you are *sighs* I don't" Balthazar replied.
"I don't think your a stupid excuse of a car" Tina whispered and went off home.
Balthazar looked up.
"At least someone cares" he smiled and slowly drifted off to sleep.
However on the opposite side of Dream Street Phoenix had just started to wake up.
Lilly breathed a sigh of relief.
Phoenix looked around.
"They can't stay here its too dangerous" she said.
"Who can't?" Lilly asked.
"Arrow, Forest, Valentine, Tina, Snowy, Network and Balthazar" Phoenix replied.
"What do we do?" Lilly asked.
"I need to ask a friend if they can look after them" Phoenix replied.
"Where are you going?" Buddy asked.
"Neopia" Phoenix replied and disappeared through the road.
Lilly and Buddy gave each other worried looks.
"They'll be fine" Buddy said.
"It isn't fair" Lilly said and turned away.
Buddy nodded he wished things could go back to normal like they used to be.
"Back then everything in life was fine" he added and remembered about days gone by.
Flashback
It was a quiet December morning and Buddy was no less than five years old.
Buddy woke up to the sound of singing.
Buddy went over to where he could hear the singing and found Daisy and her mother Luna who was silvery white and had two light pink lines going across her eyes.
Luna smiled seeing Buddy but Daisy ignored Buddy as if he wasnt there.
"Daisy" Luna said after the two finnished singing.
"There all just the same" Daisy said and went off in a huff.
"I'm sorry Buddy Daisy just isnt feeling well today" Luna said.
Buddy went off looking for Daisy.
"Daisy wait" Buddy called.
Daisy stopped and gave Buddy a cold look.
"What's wrong Daisy?" Buddy asked.
"It isn't any of your business" Daisy said before sneezing.
"Bless you" Buddy said.
"Thanks I guess" Daisy said before going off.
"I hope you feel better soon Daisy" Buddy called.
Daisy stopped.
"What did you say?" she asked confused.
"I said I hope you feel better soon. It isn't nice being sick you can't play with your friends" Buddy said.
Daisy smiled.
"Your the first one other than mum to say that" Daisy said coming back over to Buddy.
"I'm sorry I went off in a huff" Daisy said.
"Its ok" Buddy smiled.
"Wanna play by Peek-a-boo Park?" Daisy asked.
"Sure" Buddy replied and went off.
End of flashback
Buddy sighed.
"Back then we had no worries" he said.
"What are you thinking about Buddy?" Daisy asked.
"Our childhood" Buddy replied.
Daisy sighed.
"You had an easier one than I ever did" Daisy replied.
"Bad news" Phoenix replied returning in her dragon form.
"That's the last thing we need" Buddy said.
"What's wrong?" Daisy asked.
"Spice and Hannah are away for the week" Phoenix replied her face grim.
"What now?" Buddy asked.
"I'd better check on Forest and Valentine" Phoenix said and went off.
Daisy looked at Buddy worried.
"She doesn't know either" Daisy said.
"I'll see if I can use the magic to help tomorrow" Buddy said.
"Buddy no I wont let you" Daisy said.
"I just wish I could help" Buddy said.
