Hope You Enjoy!

Princess of the Oasis Part 1

Inky watched his sister return from the ruined site. "Well?" he asked worried.

Winky was silent until she spoke. "Whatever killed Roger…is not here…" Without further explanation, she drifted off.

Inky overcame the urge to dash after her. "There is something wrong…" Pinky muttered oblivious to Inky.

The blue ghost turned to look at his pink and orange companions. "We're taking her home…"

The cake table was completely deserted with only few police-toys scattered here and there.

Winky floated up to one of the rogue police-toys still on the crime scene. "Is there someone I can talk to about the bear?"

The police-toy looked at her completely muddled. "What bear?"

Winky breathed impatiently. "The teddy bear that once lived in the cage. I need to gather up information about it!"

The police-toy cowered when Winky raised her voice. The purple ghost growled and rammed past the frail cop toy. Blindly floating, she ran into a red shape. Blinky looked up from the king card he was imitating. "Hey, watch-! Oh hey, Winky-dear. Has your little investigation-" Winky glowered at Blinky, causing him to shut up quickly.

The purple ghost huffed intolerantly. "We're running out of time, Blinky. Something big is going to happen and I know it. Tell me what was so important about Roger. From what I can tell, he was a simple, harmless robot."

Blinky shrugged. "All I know is that he guards that stupid cake…Not sure what it has to do with anything…Was that all you needed Sherlock?"

Winky frowned. She imagined the cake sitting on the table, vulnerable. "No…if the cake was really that special…surely they'd have tighter security…Or maybe…The low security was just what they needed!" she turned to Blinky. "Come on." She nudged him lightly, to get him going.

The two floated back to the cake table, where once again toys were piled high. "What's going on here?!"

Inky, Pinky, and Clyde were floating towards the two. "The cake!" Winky exclaimed. "We're too late!"

Pinky gazed over at the pile of frosting and fluff. "What happened?"

The purple ghost floated over to the wreckage, ignoring the police-toy demanding her to stop. Her friends were right on her tail. "Whatever was in this cake has been stolen…The murder of the guardian was a perfect distraction from the actual plot…"

"Look at you, figuring out things on your own…" Winky turned around, but she already knew that it was none of the Ghost Gang. "What do you want?" she hissed into the air.

"Oh I just want to help you, Wink-a-Dink…You have solved this part of the mystery, but you're wrong about Roger's death being pointless…"

"What does it mean? WHAT DOES IT MEAN?! (DOUBLE RAINBOW! WHAT DOES IT MEAN?)" Winky roared in frustration. All that answered her was the sound of crude laughter.

Inky frowned at his sister. "Who are you talking to?" he asked highly concerned.

Winky flashed her eyes angrily at him. "What do you mean, 'who am I talking to?'? Don't you hear that?"

The four ghosts shook their heads. Winky snarled to herself.

Pinky looked at Blinky. "Maybe we should go to Mirage Oasis. The calmness of the desert air might help her get away from all this…hullabaloo. Or Patra could use some sort of magic, like she did with Arachne, to keep him out of their city."

Blinky rolled his eyes. "Why not? The amateur fox might even fill Clyde's empty head!"

Pinky ignored her friend's insolence. "It's worth trying Blinky! Besides you said it yourself, it was time we found another location to go to. And seeing that we're not going back to Spooky Hollow anytime soon," Inky opened his mouth to speak, but Pinky cut him off. "Mirage Oasis is a great location to clear Winky's head of all this nonsense!"

Blinky didn't protest anymore with the pinky female, instead he looked to Inky, who was staring at Pinky in disbelief. The pink ghost had shown a slight glint of smug defiance in her eyes.

With that, Blinky turned away from the cake only to face an entire army of large police-toys. "That is…if we don't get arrested first…"

Patra had already brushed her tail one hundred times for the hour. "I guess it's a nice enough day to go explore the Oasis." She murmured to herself, already aware it'd be the same adventure as it was every day. She hopped down from her vanity, where she brushes her tail, and strode out of her room.

The palace was the same boring, quiet place as usual, though right now it was filled with the snores of Patra's father. "He must've slept in the throne room again…" Patra mumbled. Taking this as an opportunity, she slipped out of the palace doors, and dashed down the steps. Once she reached the sandy ground she looked back to be sure she wasn't followed, and began her daily exploration.

"Same palm tree." She listed as she passed a shady tree. "Same rocks…" she muttered at a small cluster of rocks. She sighed, when suddenly a glint of red caught her eyes. "That's new…" she whispered, and wandered away from the stone path.

Finally she approached the object that shone. A red ruby shard was carelessly thrown in a patch of dry weeds.

Patra looked around to check for anyone, shrugging when no one was in sight, and picked up the little shard.

"Do you like it?" a voice whispered in her ear. Patra jumped in fright, causing her to fall over and drop the crystal. "Who's there?!" she demanded, her voice slightly shaking.

"Oh, no one of real importance…Well, not yet anyways." The voice laughed very harshly.

Patra looked down at her tail. "Hey! Whoever you are, you made me get dirt on my tail!"
The voice tutted. "Oh, I'm sorry. Would you like me to get that for you?"

Before the angry fox could answer, she was unexpectedly sucked away, as if an invisible vacuum swallowed her whole.

OMIGLOB! Haha, I looooooooved that ending! Hehe...I'm so bad for doing that to the poor fox. I hope I captured her personality like it is in the game XP.

Unfortunately, these chapters are getting shorter XP, I guess its because there is no extra details really necessary to add...

I also noticed last chapter that I forgot to tag...so here it is XD
