Ch. 10: Painting Roses

Sweetie Belle ran as fast as her legs could carry her; speaking quickly and frightening poor Opalescenece, all while following the rabbit tracks.

"Ifeellikewearealmostthereopal!" said a quick Sweetie Belle.

The rabbit tracks eventually led to a dead end in a giant hedge, but Sweetie Belle was going so fast, she could hardly notice it and ran straight throught he hedge.

That blast through the hedge, finally managed to slow Sweetie Belle down as she and Opan was covered in leaves in sticks.

"Geez," said a sullen Sweetie Belle as she got rid of the filthy things on her and the cat, "I should've seen that coming."

After cleaning her and Opal off, the saw that they were in a giant labrynth and a castle was at the center of it.

"I wonder who lives there." pondered Sweetie Belle.

Before they could continue their journey, they heard some humming. Poking their heads through a hedge wall, they saw a beautiful humanoid Spade card painting whitComing to here roses.

Coming to her, Sweetue said, "Hello!"

In shock, the card threw her paintbrush backwards and it hit Sweetie Belle in the face, covering her entire facial feature with red paint.

"Oh, sorry" said the card in an eloquent-like tone, "But you did spook me."

"It's alright," said Sweetie Belle as she wiped her face off with a nearby towel, "Why are you painting these flowers, Ms. Card?"

"The Rare Spade is my name," said the female card, "And I'm painting these roses red because I accisdentally planted white roses by mistake and the queen likes red roses. If she saw these, I'll lose not only my job, but my head."

The news spooked Sweetie, "Oh my; Well, let me help you."

"Glad to oblige." said a grate ful Rare Spade as she handed the teen girl a paintbrush with red paint on it.

Soon enough, the card and the girl has painted almost all of the bushes in the labyrinth.

"This is fun," said Sweetie Belle.

"Well, let's hustle this 'fun' up," said the Rare Spade, "Because,"

Suddenly, there was a fanfare.

"Oh no," said the rare Spade.

"What?" asked Sweetie Belle.

"She's coming!" shouted the Rare Spade as she grabbed Sweetie Belle and pulled her into a bush.

"Who's coming?" asked Sweetie Belle.

"THE QUEEN!"

Sweetie Belle looked confused before seeing a whole army of cards coming forth.
