Alright my little duckys! Here is chapter 3!

(8:45am) Jacks POV:

"Jackson! Are you even listening?" My mother kept ranting on about something. I turned to face her at the other side of the breakfast table. We were currently eating breakfast at the round table, and if you knew my family, this will never go well.

"Yes mother, you want me to take Angel to her karate lessons, down by the creek, I do it every week." I take another bite of my French toast and nod to Angel signaling we are about to leave.

"Remember Jackson; watch out for those thieves, you can never turn your back on them." My father said as he walked into the other hall to finish some work.

"Come on Angel, don't want to be late do we?" I take her hand as we walk down to the pond where we meet her karate instructor and the rest of the royal students. Angel walks down to get her GI on while I walk to wait for my other friends to show up for their little brother/sister's lesson.

"Hey Milton!" I say as I walk over to where Milton is walking through the entry way with his little sister,

"Hey, Jack!" He says, and then sends his little sister to change into her GI. "Where's Eddie and Jerry?" I asked while looking around for them, "Well, if you look to your left, Jerry is currently getting beaten by a bunch of little white belts," I look over to see Jerry on the ground while a bunch of little kids beating him with balloon dummies, "And if you look to your right, Eddie is coming in through the other entrance." I look to my right to see Eddie walking in with his little sister. "Go get your GI on Teddy." He said then pushes her towards the changing room, and then he walks towards us. "Hey guys!" he greets and high fives us both.

Jerry came back looking beat, "Maldice a los niños! Yo sé karate! Todos sabemos karate! Sólo debería llevar a mi hermano pequeño y listo! Maldice a los niños del diablo! Se liaron con mis cejas!" We all laughed at him, "Whoa Jerry, looks like those Spanish lessons have really paid off!" Eddie said in between laughs. (A/N If you want to know what that means, just go to Google translate!)

"Well we've got to stay here until their lessons are finished, so what do you want do now?" I asked smiling.

(8:30am) Kim's POV:

I climb the trees with ease until I find a wealthy looking man, and I hopped down and started toward him. Today I at least tried to make myself look good looking, with some make up Grace Stole from another person. I bump into this guy and fall into his arms.

"I'm so sorry!" I said as I slipped out some coins from his back pocket, "Are you okay?" He asked, I looked at him, he was about 27, blond hair, blue eyes, gold bracelet in his back pocket, and a piece of paper with a ribbon around it in his back pocket. Done, and Done.

"I'm fine thank you! I'll be going now," I walk away with the items, and without him even noticing.

I look down the alley to see Julie finishing her target, and she strides towards me with a smirk.

"What did you get?" I asked her, and she showed me her items, "I got a gold ring, necklace, and a paper with a ribbon and some bread so far." Pretty much the usual, maybe we could- wait. What are these papers about?

"Julie let me see your paper." She handed me the paper, and I opened it in front of us, reading it out loud:

"My Dear ,

I'm glad to announce, that you and your daughter, have been invited to Prince Jackson's 16thMascorade ball! We ask you to bring along one item, as a gift for this special event! We also ask that you dress with masks and, and enjoy yourselves!

I look forward to your arrival!

"A Ball?" I start laughing, and Julie sits there looking like a mad man, I stop laughing and look at her perplexed, "What is it Julie?" She smiles and says excitedly, "We should go! I mean, all we need are two more invitations to his ball, and all four of us can go!"

I stare at her dumbfounded, "Julie! Were THEIVES! Not party guests!"

"But Kim, you're the one who's always wanted to see the mansion! And this is a good opportunity for you to meet someone, and MINGLE!"

I instantly start to blush but try to hide it by putting my head down. "Let's just go have our lunch break, I found a really pretty pond yesterday, and a karate dojo!" We head off to the market to gather our lunch, and then head off to the pond.

(8:56 am Still Kim's POV)

"What did you get Julie?" I asked walking down to the pond, "I got four apples, two loafs of bread, two canteens of water, and some jelly." She smiled proudly and continued ahead until I heard some sounds, and held up my hand for her to stop, and she stopped immediately.

I put my finger to my mouth, signaling for her to stay quiet, while I search the perimeter. She took the left side I took the right, climbing the trees in silence, until I stumbled upon a boy. About 6' feet , shaggy brown hair, brown eyes, broad figure, and looks about my age.

I was so wrapped up in his stunning appearance; I did not notice a little girl, walking out of the changing room, and she spotted me quickly. I turned to look at her, and she had long brown hair and brown eyes. She looked at the boy then at me. The boy waved at her to come over to where he was but she kept looking between me and him.

'Oh no!' I thought, I looked around frantically for Julie, and I found her in a tree signaling she spotted the little girl too. 'What do I do?' I mouthed to her. 'I don't know! I don't know!' she mouthed back quickly, she did some other words too but I could not tell them out.

The boy was about to look my way, and the girl was about to scream that I was there. That was when I did what another person would have done: I ran out to the yard passing the brothers and sisters of the young karate students, and making eye contact ever so suddenly with the brown haired boy. Oh, but did it feel like eternity looking in those brown wurlpools.

I grabbed the girl and ran out the front with everyone staring at the blur I was leaving behind, I looked behind me and saw the boy yelling franticly for me to stop and then starting running after me. I signaled Julie to leave now, and she nodded climbing out the back. By this time the girl was squealing in my arms, trying to get out of my grasp, causing me to tighten my grip on her.

What have I got myself into?

A/N Alright, this took me awhile, and I was thinking about ideas, and a little bit of laziness, but I got it done! I hope this is even longer for you guys! Ideas? Comments? Wanna share this story with your friends? Go ahead!

Rember! Review me!

Until the next chapter!
