Sometimes, when life gives you lemons, screw life and squeeze the juice in life's eyes. Then run away like heck. Anyways, just a little encouragement for those in school for no clear reason.

The Koopalings and Junior belongs to Nintendo

Melody, CJ, Felica, and the Spirits of Discord belongs to me.

Wendy POV

It's so freaking COLD! Instead of going into a hot tub, I'm stuck with the people I hate and we're on the side of a giant mountain instead of eating truffles at home. Grambi, Dad's gonna kill me for not stopping them saving this stupid dimension. You're on my side, right? Anyways, this is how my day is going.

How is climbing a mountain while wearing nothing but a dress, high heels, and a bow. Yep, I'm really liking this whole "saving the 9 kingdoms thing." I'm actually thinking that fighting those demons were easier than this. Felica's lucky, she has fur to keep her warm. And my siblings and everybody else has hair. If only I had that or fur...no, just ignore that thought.

Now that I think about it, how is Carmen and Izzy? Because for some reason, if I survive, I'm just gonna hug them and thank them for not being the insane people I thought they would be. I'm not sure about Izzy, but Carmen, yeah. I see that.

As my brothers and I, along our friends trudged the mountain slope, Felica walked up next to me and asked, "How's Ludwig doing? Izzy and Carmen's still searching."

"Okay, and tell me about this 'research'," I answered back. When I was in school, before this happened, I took French. The reason? Because I didn't want to offend Felica's family, who were French and usually spoke it a lot. We sometimes talk to each other in French, but we usually spoke English. Felica nodded and talked some more.

"Anyways, Izzy and Carmen think they found a suitable girlfriend that went to the insane asylum around the same time as Ludwig for about 2 years as a precaution. I met her, and she plays the viola and I think they'll work out. Before we left, I told Izzy where we were going, and she gave me this." She pulled out a letter. "This is from her, and Izzy said I have to give to her. She's has a nice name."

"What's her name? Lucy? Annabel? Banana?" I asked her, with a joke at the last word.

Felica laughed, the laugh sounding like bells. She leaned in my ear, whispering, "Her name is a really nice name. It means Emerald in Spanish. (I don't know if this is right.) The girl's name is Es-" Then, there was this huge rumbling sound. Everyone turned and I saw big snowballs heading toward us. I don't know what happened to cause this.

***Meanwhile, from a ledge...***

Dimioria was looking through a pair of binoculars while Auburne sat by her. She was wearing a tank top and shorts, not caring about the cold. Snow melted under her feet and leaked through her shoes. Auburne groaned in disgust and shook her shoe.

"I still don't know why we're up here instead of Waterworld." She shrugged while Dimioria stared at her with her excellent poker face. She did not know how she got stuck with these people instead of Crevincie. Dimioria arched an eyebrow, but she talked.

"We're trying to stop the heroes from getting Wendell's hat," Dimioria replied. "And why am I here?" Auburne asked.

"To keep me warm."

Auburne went to say something, but she kept her mouth shut. "Good, and now, be a little fire and try not to kill me." Dimioria said. Auburne grumbled and sat on the ground while Dimioria tapped on a watch. Kyloyn's face shown up.

"Did you take care of them?"

Dimioria smiled happily. "Oh, it'll prepare them for what's coming."

Third Person POV (Because what's more fun than this way?)

"Ohmygrambiwe'regonnadietodayIhaven'tevendatedapersonyet!" Wendy screamed as the snowballs got closer. Felica sprinted to a ? box and hit it. Four penguin suits popped out and Felica grabbed on of them. She became a light blue penguin with cat ears when she touched. Melody picked one up and passed one to Roy.

"This better be fun," Melody put it on, and she became a navy blue penguin with sunglasses. Roy looked the same, except he had pink feathers. CJ dove for the last one and became a semi-transparent penguin with yellow eyes. "Hop on if you want to live!" CJ called.

This is which person went on who's back in the way they sat:

Felica: Lemmy, Junior, Larry

CJ: Ludwig, Wendy, Morton

Roy: The safety packs

Melody: Duffel Bag (remember Calli?)

As they curved up the mountain, the snowballs were still following them. Over the bitter winds and the blizzard, Larry yelled at the top of his lungs, "How are they still following us?"

CJ dodged a tree and answered. "Whoever is controlling the land must be affecting the gravity, causing-" snow went in her mouth. As she spat it out, Melody hatched a crazy idea.

"Lemmy! Can you get on top of one and see if you can control it? The others seem to strangely be following it," She was right. Whatever one moved to dodge a tree, the other snowballs did the same. It was like they're being controlled...

Lemmy nodded and Felica sighed. She brought him near the snowball and he hopped on. "Be careful! Je t'aime!"

"Je t'aime!" Lemmy called back as he climbed up the snowball. He used the crevices to get up to the top and balance on it. When he got up to the top, balancing on the snowball, he asked, "What do I do?"

CJ slid up ahead and say Kyloyn's palace. Ice guards were guarding the door carefully. "Get a strike on that door!" Lemmy aimed and rolled toward it, as soon as he got close, Lemmy jumped off on Felica's back as it rolled toward it.

"I don't get paid enough for this," One of the ice guards said as the ball crushed them (not killing them) and rolled through the door. They stopped at the door and looked at the castle.

It was immense, from the ice griffins to the ledges and the icicles hanging from them. "Whoa." Larry exclaimed as they walked up the door. "Who wants to go in first?"

Lemmy looked around and stepped in. "Guys! You should look at this!" Everyone entered and looked around. "Kyloyn must have a lot of time on her hands," Melody whistled.

There was ice everywhere: ice fountains, ice staircases, everything! Skates hung at the side of the door, while towering chiseled ice columns held up the castle. Paintings of Kyolyn were everywhere: from her playing golf; to her wearing a binkini. There was a flat screen TV and eight couches surrounded around the TV in a half circle.

But in the middle, there was an immense hole in the middle of the room. Nothing was noticeably disturbed, but some chairs were out of place. The hole had tons of icicles in the middle of it; some white, blue, and even some glowed light blue. The sides were perfect for climbing down the sides easy. If you didn't touch the icicles.

"This large hole is the way to Kyloyn's throne room. Try not to touch the light blue icicles, because as soon as you touch it, you will freeze to death, unless you become unmoving. It will slow down the process by 50%. Touch the white and blue ones to get down. Ropes will work as well if you have any." CJ read and looked at everybody, who was looking at the hole.

"Well then, who wants to go first?"

*Secret Conversation*

(bold is Hermione; italics is Kyloyn)

Kyloyn, are you there?

Of course I am. What are you thinking I'm doing?

Anyways, have you got the hat? From that bratty Wendell?

Yes, sister. I do. And I'm very interested in him deeply.

And did you hide it? Like I told you to?

Yes. I did. They won't find in my secret hiding place under the throne.

Good. This plan won't fail, I promise you-*static*

"That's all I need to hear," Dimioria whispered when she turned off the watch on her wrist. "This is going to be fun..." She was hiding behind Kyloyn's throne ironically when she heard this. She chuckled as she slipped away from the throne into the shadows.

"Now, to leave them this for them..."

What's gonna happen next? Will they get his hat? Why am I asking questions when I should actually be writing? These questions shall be answered when I write the next chapter. Ciao!
