A/N: Second chappie of the day, so you may wanna read the one previously if you haven't already ;) hehe! This is to make up for my missing day :D

ENJOY!

17-Oh Look, A Plan

Heather stared down at the map on the floor, almost glaring at it before finally pointing to the house they were planning on attacking. Well, Heather and Rosie were planning on attacking; everyone else was planning on just winning.

"We need to corner all the exits." The criminal said to no one in particular, since not a lot of people were listening at such a late hour.

"All windows, all doors, they ALL need to be covered." Dallas added.

Heather looked up, narrowing her eyes on Dallas now, "That's what I said." She didn't like people taking credit for her ideas.

"We need to try and trap her in the box again." Celia interrupted before a fight could break out. "If possible, back in the box." This would have been the third time, making it harder. With every passing time that the spell needed to be performed, it took a lot more energy to contain.

"And what are we gonna do about Olivia?" Scott asked, only waking up when he heard that a plan was somewhat in action now.

It had taken a while, but Heather had helped them all focus on a plan and a plan only. It was something they all needed to agree on too, that way it would work easier and they had more of a chance of winning this battler and the overall war that was going on.

"I say we KILL her!" Rosie interjected. That was all she had ever wanted to do. Killing Olivia was number one on Rosalinda's priority list.

"I say that's a bad idea." Carmen told her delusional friend as she entered the room. Her eyes weren't as red and it was hard to tell that she had been crying, but they knew she had been.

The Princess took a seat beside Drake, resting her head on his shoulder.

"I say it's your best shot!" A voice from the kitchen shouted in to them, very clearly munching on something.

"You're not part of this!" Carmen snapped, directing her attention towards the doorway. Karia had appeared there now, swallowing down the last of the cookies. "GO HOME!"

Carmen was not in the best of mood with Karia ever since she had spoken about losing Drake. That was the last thing Carmen wanted to do, right next to becoming Queen. It was too bad that those two things contradicted each other now.

"I ain't going anywhere until YOU make a decision." Karia replied and not in a nice way. Her words were harsh, only hurting Carmen more and more. The decision was something she did not want to make.

"Carmen, who is this bitch?" Rose asked and not in a nice way either. She was not going to let some girl talk to Carmen like that and get away with it. "And am I going to need to show her who is in charge here?"

"EXCUSE ME?" Karia screamed, not wanting to be talked to like that from anyone. She was a highly respected royal figure; she was not going to take smack from some commoner, from another town especially!

"ROSIE!" Carmen scolded, telling her friend that it was okay and that she should just back down now. "Guys, this is Queen Karia from Indicenta."

"Oh look, Rosie, your streak of insulting and bitching at royals hasn't ended quite yet." Scott joked, referring to Rosie's inability to keep her mouth shut around anyone, even her superiors.

Before Rose could move and slap Scott as hard she could, and she really could slap him hard, Jenifer decided to get in the middle and ask, "What decision needs to be made before she leaves?"

"Carm-" But The Princess quickly slapped her hand over her sister-in-laws mouth.

"She's a compulsive liar." Carmen told everyone, giving herself a reason to stop Karia from talking so much and them not believing her when she did, "It's just some princessy stuff, nothing big or anything for any of you to worry about. Karia just wants to help me, but I won't let her."

That did shut everyone up for a while too. No one bothered Karia and Karia bothered no one. She laid on the sofa, sticking by her guns and refusing to leave until Carmen made a decision.

Everyone went on about finding a plan to go with, all finding it hard to agree on anything suitable.

"Carmen, I-" But Alan stopped himself as he saw what was going on. "Never mind, you're busy."

"No I'm not." Carmen replied, looking over her shoulder at her father. She wasn't doing anything of importance.

"You sure?" Alan asked, definitely not wanting to disrupt anything and certainly just wanting to back out of the room whilst he still had a chance.

Heather mentally rolled her eyes, not looking up from the book she was reading, "She's really not, Alan."

"Oh Gods..." Alan mumbled, not having seen Heather sat there before.

Heather was one of the last people he had wanted to see ever again after the last time. Sure, she was on the good team for a short while, but the two had a long history before that. No one could even imagine what it was like back at the Tracking Academy between the two, not even Courtney knew the full story and she had been there!

"No need to take that tone with me, Alan." Heather smirked down at the ancient pages in her hand. "I'm not here to cause hard...On anyone who shouldn't be harmed, anyway."

That was not the most reassuring statement Alan had ever heard from Heather, but it was one he was going to have to take from her. Heather did seem sincere in her words and she was in a room full of people who weren't going to let her get away with something she shouldn't have.

"For a change that is." Rosie added.

"I'm sorry, but does she EVER know when to shut her mouth?" Karia asked out of tune. Rosalinda was getting on her last never, which wasn't a shock, Rose got on most people's nerves. It was sort of like a hobby of hers; see how many people she could piss off in a day.

"How about I SHUT YOURS!" Rose screamed back, not afraid to do it either. Royal or not, Karia was pissing Rosie off just as much as it was vice-versa.

Carmen whistled loudly, the only way she knew she was going to get everyone's attention. Most people did cover their ears, that way they weren't going to go deaf.

"OKAY!" The Princess yelled, "You don't have to be here!" She told Karia, "You need to stop picking fights with everyone!" She told Rosie. "And what do you want, dad?" She turned to face her father again, seeing he was still there.

Alan held his hands up in defense against his only daughter. The last thing he wanted to do was piss Carmen off any more than she clearly already was.

"I can see you have your hands full."

"GOODBYE THEN!" Carmen pointed to the doorway behind him and the King left without an argument.

"Ooooh! Someone's in a bad mood today." All eyes turned towards the fireplace. Courtney was stood there, a smirk that even Duncan would be proud of, gleaming on her face as she looked at her niece.

Carmen was in a bad mood. Carmen was in a very bad mood and had been for most of the day. Her bad mood was not going to go away because of all the stress she was under, and her aunt's presence was not going to help that.

"Can we help you, Grandma?" Carmen asked, smirking right back. Courtney leaned out and punched the Princess straight to the shoulder.

"Quit with the old people jokes!" She warned, and Carmen knew that Courtney would have started a fist fight with her there and then as they were both those sort of people. "Arianna told me your plan was failing, so I decided to come check in on it."

"It's not failing!" Celia argued, though everyone knew it was.

"I thought your plans always failed?" Courtney asked in return, raising both her eyebrows at her.

"Shut it, Court!" Celia defended herself automatically. "If I remember correctly, I am not the ONLY one who has died due to a failed plan."

"Oh...That wasn't a failed plan." Courtney replied, "That was Heather being tactical."

"Awwww!" Heather interrupted them both, "You think I'm tactical!"

"Unless you finish planning out this map, NO! YOU ARE NOT TACTICAL!" Dallas told Heather quite rudely. She was just annoyed, as stressed out as Carmen was in reality. Things weren't going too great for her either quite recently.

"And it looks like Carmen's not the ONLY grouchy one today..." Karia spoke up again, having kept quiet because she was flicking through a magazine she had found thrown across the room and on the floor.

"ONE SLAP!" Rosie asked. "PLEASE! JUST ONE! I'll even try not to leave a mark!" She begged, "Try not to..."

"THAT'S IT!" Heather shouted. She had been doing as Dallas asked and finishing plotting out the map, but now she had stopped again. "Would you believe I have a plan?"

"No," Dallas replied. "Not really."

A/N: hehehe...I like Dallas...

There was quite a bit of speech in this, weren't there? Sorry about that...Actually, I have never asked, does speech annoy you? Or do I not write enough? Because, I personally love reading speech more than the description when reading fanfics...And books actually...But, what do you guys prefer?

Bleh! I know how both Carmen and Dallas feel...Life can suck...
