A/N: I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for the long gap between these two updates!!! I hope you all haven't given up on me! I changed this scene from the book so that it would fit, but oh well. Well, enjoy!

Disclaimer I don't own, etc., etc., etc., you know the drill.


Rescue

It was the dead of the night, and Amber was wide awake. She'd slept the seven hours that she needed, and now she felt like she hadn't quite done enough complaining for the day. "There's no carpet in here! Why isn't there a mini fridge? Do you have any idea what comfort means? Cause this ain't it!!!" She yelled at the guard closest to her cell. She'd heard Erry had been put in a cell quite a ways away. Oh well, she knew how most of this would play out. But in the meantime...

"WILL YOU SHUT UP!" The guard yelled at Amber. She giggled. "I KNOW A SONG THAT GETS ON EVERYBODY'S NERVES, EVERYBODY'S NERVES, EVERYBODY'S NERVES! I KNOW A SONG THAT GETS ON EVERYBODY'S NERVES, AND THIS IS HOW IT GOES!!!" She shouted. Man, this was fun. "I KNOW A... Wait a second. Who the heck are you? Oooh, don't tell me, are you Durza" She said happily. He, on the other hand, didn't look all that happy.

"Why yes I am, and let's find out exactly who you are?" He said, extending a probe. Amber thought he might do that, so she put up a pretty solid barrier. Stacey had been teaching her. She concentrated on the song Glamorous by Fergie. Durza reeled back as if struck by the odd words and tune. "What was that? Who taught you mind barriers? Well, that's of little conseequence to me, I guess. Why were you traveling with the dragon rider?"

"Umm, cause it was all a big accident. I didn't do it! I've been framed!" Amber said, promptly bursting into tears. "It was all my older sister's best friend's boyfriend's cousin's fault! He was her ex-boyfriend!" She said, imitating a soap opera she had seen recently.

"Okay." Said Durza, sounding a little scared. "How about we try something new? Either you tell me all you know about the rider and the rest of your companions, or you'll never get out of this cell for the rest of your life." He said, regaining his composure.

Amber stopped crying. "Good." said Durza. "It was Katie! She did it! It wasn't me!!!"She shouted anxiously.

"Fine the. It was your own choice, just remember that." Durza said, obviously exasperated, and strode out of the jail cell. The guard watch then changed. Her old guard breathed a sigh of relief, barely audible. Amber giggled and called out "I'll miss you, Turlough!" (she had found out his name about an hour earlier, due to her screaming "WHAT'S YOUR NAME?" in his face until he answered) Turlough ran. The new guard looked like he woould rather be submitted to a thousand tortures than be where he was right then.

"Oh, don't worry, I won't do to you what I did to him." He ignored her. "Ya know, it's sort of impossible to keep that up. I think next watch they're going to give me a hardened veteran for a guard, in hopes that I won't drive him insane." Amber said, bored. "You want to hear my life story?" She said brightly. "Great! Well, when I was born, I lived in..." She started. Four hours later..."And then we were attacked by urgals and Erry and I were brought here, then I annoyed that other dude, then Durza, you know, that shade, came and talked to me. Cheery chap, isn't he? He was fun to talk to. Then You came, then I assureed you that you would be treated differently, then I asked you if you wanted to hear my life story, then I told it to you, and here I am!" She finished cheerily. "Oh, and by the way, I'm Amber. You want to hear a song?"

Meanwhile...

"What are we going to do?" Sarah said to Stacey. "Well, for starters, you and Saphira are going to do what you are supposed to do, without us. We'll get Amber. And don't worry about us, or else we'll make you eat really hot peppers without anything to drink, okay? Oh, and by the way, there's an extra person that needs rescuing as well, so Saphira needs to get ready for carrying three people."

"Hot peppers, huh? Well, at least it's only one threat this time. And your so worried you can't even think of a good one." He said, all the while preparing for the ride out of there after getting Erry. "I guess we're a little too worried about our young friend to make very good threats this afternoon. No matter. You two just stay out of my way and get Amber."

"Whatever." Rose said. "Ya know, Sarah, I think if we play one more prank on Stacey before leaving, that might make me feel better. You up for it?"

"Sure I am!"

"Aright, well, here's what I have planned..."

Back at the jail...

"THIS IS THE SONG THAT NEVER ENDS!!! IT GOES ON AND ON MY FRIENDS!!! SOME PEOPLE STARTED SING IT NOT KNOWING WHAT IT WAS AND THEY'LL KEEP ON SINGING IT FOREVER JUST BECAUSE IT'S THE SONG THAT NEVER ENDS!!! IT GOES ON AND ON MY FRIENDS!!! SOME PEOPLE STARTED SINGING IT NOT KNOWING WHAT IT WAS AND THEY'LL KEEP ON SINGING IT FOREVER JUST BECAUSE," Amber was having fun singing to this night guard. As she had guessed, they gave her a hardened soldier as a guard in hopes she wouldn't drive them insane. Man, were they wrong.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." A voice seemed to slither towards her. Wait a second! She knew that voice...

"Not you again! I already said that I didn't do it!" She said, screaming and crying once more. "WHY DOESN'T ANYBODY EVER BELIEVE ME?!? I'M SO ALONE IN THE WORLD!"

"Yes, yes, we've heard all about that, and now I would like to ask you a serious question."

"BUT I AM BEING SERIOUS! WHY WON'T YOU BELIEVE ME?!?" Amber cried histerically.

"Fine." He said. He seemed to have given up. Woah. He walked out, and Amber followed. Then she ran back to the corner, resuming her act, because as she peeped of the cell, she saw loads more soldiers. They were carrying a figure. More like dragging, actually. How she pitied that sad soul. It wasn't Arya, so Erry must be pretty far away. As far as she could see, she was on the opposite end of the place as him. ARYA!!! Oh, dang it, now Erry's gonna go all googly-eyed, She thought. That sucks.

Then she saw, at the very back, two somewhat short (they were her same height) soldiers dressed for war, with barely any skin showing. That's odd. Oh well. Then one lifted up his visor. Wait a second, she recognized that face. That was Rose! Rose winked, and motioned to the person next to her. That must be Sarah! Once the rest of the soldiers had passed through the door, Sarah and Rose fell back. Sarah held up some keys, and opened up the cell door.

Just then, some soldiers walked in through the door. Perfect. "Well, this wasn't on our agenda, but we'll have to make do, won't we?" Sarah said.

Amber jumped out the cell door, tossed the keys in her pocket and slammed the door shut. She promptly pulled a light saber out of her pocket, as did the others. Together, they got out of the jail, and snuck out of the city by using their hand-dandy... wait for it... invisibility cloaks!!! Once out, they ran to the campsite and sat down to wait for the guys, while keeping everything packed. Except for their radio. Oh well. That could wait, as could their disco ball. They deserved a good party.


A/N Hope you enjoyed it, and it was long enough. Review, and I'll try to update more often. That's a promise!
