Amelia was humming along to the song of "This is it." by Scotty McCreery while finishing her shower and starting to get ready for her anniversary with her friends and her true love, Jack Darby. It had been a year since they got together after the whole dance incident when the jerk, the one that she had a crush on dumped her for the head cheerleader and then embarrassed her in front of the entire school by pouring fruit punch on her and insulting her. He came to comfort her like a knight in shining armor by giving her his jacket and giving the seventeen-year-old her very first kiss.

A knock came from her door and Amelia turned towards her with a gasp. "w-who is it?" asked Amelia, turning off her CD of country love songs and turning on some Rockabilly music. "It's me, Sparkplug." said a voice. Amelia felt relieved when she recognized it was one of her twin brothers, Sunstreaker. She put on her bathrobe and opened her door to see her adopted brother's alt form.

"Hey Sunny. How was the patrol around town today?" asked Amelia as she went to her closet to get her perfect outfit. Sunny shrugged his shoulders," Same old, same old. Although you and your group must be careful tonight. While I was in town, I heard strange rumors about kids going missing."

"We will, Sunny. I promise," she said. "If we spot any trouble, I'll call you guys. I got you and Sides on speed dial."

"Okay, sis," he said with a nod. "I hope you will not do funny stuff with Jack today. I like your boyfriend and I do not want dad try to kill him." A pillow hit him in the face and chuckled when he saw her blush and get her outfit which is a sky blue off the shoulder top and blue jeans. "Just so you know Miko and Raf are also with us. Besides Jack would never be like that, He is too good of a person to do that."

Meanwhile Jack was working in the drive thru and was really excited about going out with his friends and his girlfriend. "So, Jack… you look ecstatic today. Is something going on?" asked Jonathan, his manager. Jack rubbed his head and laughed embarrassingly.

" Well today is my girlfriend's and I anniversary and I got her a little something." The boy went into his pocket and pulled out a box and opened it. Inside was a silver ring with two hearts. One of where hearts was a ruby while the other heart was an Amethyst, and it also had an engraving that said, 'My Juliet, forevermore my love.'

"That look perfect for her." Said Jonathan, patting him on the back. "What is the plan to give it to her? When I gave my fiancée, her promise ring, we went to see 'Moulin Rouge' during the retro movie nights screening." Sean, the fry cook, piped up," that was a good date. What did you for first real date, Darby?" Jack put the ring back in his pocket and rubbed the back of his neck.

"Well, our first date started at the arcade where we played air hockey, then we tried that dining in the dark place that's outside of town, and then we then saw the latest horror movie before driving her home."

Sean whistled," Boy any girl will be over the moon on that first date."

Jessica, who is a cashier and Sierra's best friend, overheard this and scoffed loudly so the customers would hear it while shaking her head." But still, I cannot believe you are dating the junkyard dog. She is the weirdest girl ever and ugly too. I think you should have dated Sierra when he had a chance. She always had a crush on you."

Laura, who was shift lead, rolled her eyes, and put her hands on her hips." Isn't she the one that is dating the town's delinquent while Jack is dating the girl who helps fix everybody's cars in town for free only to buy parts? Amelia is a great girl and perfect for Jack."

Jessica huffed and saw Sierra coming into the restaurant." Hey Jessica, what been new?"

Jessica went to the front to meet her best friend and took her order." Nothing much. I heard that Jack is going to give Amelia a promise ring today on their date. How are you and Vince; Are you still together?"

Sierra was shocked to hear the news about Jack and Amelia, but she shook her head." Vince broke up with me. If only I ruin Jack and Amelia's relationship so I can go out with him, it will be perfect. I am prettier than her." Jessica then had an idea and grinned a sly grin while whispering the idea to Sierra.

A couple of hours later Jack sees his girlfriend and his best friends entering the restaurant." Hey guys perfect timing I am about to clock out." Amelia went to the counter and the two kissed." Hey Hun, how was work today? No one dine and dash on you today, did they?" Jack shook his head and chuckled. "No today has been a good day today. Hey, can you hold on to my stuff while I clock out? You can mess around with my phone if you want to."

"Sure, I have to look up what time the movie is tonight."

Jack handed her his stuff and rushed to clock out while the three waited at one of the tables and talked to each other. Amelia heard the phone buzz to notify her it was a text message. Without thinking, she checked the message and was shocked to see it was from Sierra. Miko sees her friend read something on Jack's phone that caused her eyes to widen and then narrow in anger. "Amelia are you ok?"

"Not…Right…Now and Not Here"

Miko and Raf looked confused at each other. Jack came to the table and the four of them left the restaurant. As they walked towards downtown, Jack noticed that Amelia was flicking her thumb against her finger. Whenever she did that, she was very really upset. "Amelia… Is something wrong?" Amelia stopped, causing the other three to crash into each other.

"Yeah… why are you cheating on me with Sierra!"

Jack, Miko, And Raf looked at her in confusion and shocked; what is their friend/girlfriend talking about. Amelia shows him the message that is from Sierra of "See you tonight, Handsome" and Jack is shocked, saying he does not know what Sierra is talking about. He would never cheat on Amelia. "It certainly looks like you are!" Amelia said, feeling hurt. "Why else would she send you this message?!" Jack and Amelia continued to argue while Miko and Raf tried to stop them fighting, becoming violent.

"Guys, stop!" Raf said.

"Seriously!" Miko said. "Amelia, Jack isn't cheating on you."

"I don't even know how Sierra even got my number!" said Jack. Amelia refused to even listen to them. She had too many people stab her in the back." I do not think I believe you." That stuck a nerve in Jack, and he looked at her angrily. "If you can't trust me, then maybe we should not be together!" He said, losing his cool.

Miko gasped and Raf's jaw dropped at hearing that while Amelia looked like she had just been slapped in the face. Jack, taking a moment to realize what he said, blinked and his anger vanished. "Amelia, I...," he tried to say, reaching out to her, but she turned and ran away, tears running down her face. Seeing her cry made Jack feel like the biggest jerk in the world and he looked at his friends. "I'm going after her," he said, heading down the same road Amelia had run down.

"Wait for me!" Miko called out.

"And me!" Raf said. "We'll help you find her!"

Jack nodded, appreciating that they were willing to help him. Miko caught up to him and she looked at him. "I know you didn't mean what you said," she said. "I just hope Amelia realized that too."

"Come on! She went this way!" Raf said, leading them down another path.

Amelia, after losing her friends from the chase, continued to walk, and started to cry. She tried to stop crying but her heart was too broken. Deep down she knew Jack would not cheat on her, but she had people stab her in the back so many time that she cannot trust anyone. The redhead sat down at a bench and wiped away her tears. A chirping sound caught her attention that caused her to look down and was amazed. A red small and spherical baby chick-like animal was right next to her feet. It had purple eyes, small sphere appendages acting as hands, they all had a tail resembling a rabbit's tail on their back and had rabbit ears.

'What are you?' thought Amelia, picking it up to study it. the strange creature church again and nuzzled her hand as she noted that it was very soft." Well, aren't you cute and soft. But where are you from? I've never seen anything like you before. Are you some kind of alien thing?" The creature shook his head and jumped out of her hands. It jumped away from her for a little bit then turned around and waved its small nubbed wing, telling her to follow it.

She followed the little bird bunny to see a theater. "Balan Wonderworld? I have never heard of it before. Maybe they just open in town." She thought as the creature tried to open the door. She picked it up and let it open the door.' It's so cute. Still, I wonder what kind of creature it is. I have never seen anything like it." The two entered through the doors and went inside. Unknown to her, a being was hiding in the shadow and went to prepare something for it.

Amelia continued to explore the theater and noticed that this isn't a normal theater. For one thing, the mirror right next to reveal her three friends in the mirror out of the corner of her eye. Once she looked back at the mirror, they disappeared to just show her reflection." OK something tells me that this is not a normal theater." She opens a door to see a large room with tables and chairs and on top of one of the tables was a tea set that was red, white, and gold and the tea made the room smell like mint and chocolate.

She looked confused then realized that she wasn't alone here. looked around before feeling large hands rest on her shoulders and she froze, sensing a presence behind her. The aura the person gave off was powerful, but there was also an undertone of concern as the hands gently squeezed her shoulders in comfort.

"Have a seat, my young guest," a deep, yet soothing, voice washed over her. "Rest yourself from your quest. Fears and troubles here are no need, only positive emotions a heart to lead." Amelia looked up and saw a tall, lean humanoid figure with big, bright yellow eyes that rest upon his hat's hat band, and black skin with a wide grin on his face. He also has teal, dreadlock-like hair which can appear green in certain shots. He was wearing a white, red, purple, and gold magician's shirt with a red ascot and a navy vest, a white top hat that has a red mask-like hat band, long, white trousers with red accents and gold and navy trim/hues and white low-heeled shoes. He also wears white gloves with gold, ring-like accents, and frilly red cuffs.

"W-who are you?" stammered Amelia, scared. The being bowed like any showman would do." Forgive me, my name is Balan. I am the maestro of the theater, and you must be Amelia." Amelia looks at Balan with suspicion which causes him to chuckle a bit because it reminds him of his friend Leo when they first met.

He smiled. "Rest assured, my dear, you are safe within these walls," he said reassuringly. "But I sense you are troubled. Could I ask what has made your heart take such a fall?" Amelia studied him for a few moments and decided that she could trust him. "My boyfriend and I had a blow out and said If I can't trust him, then maybe we should be together. It seems I can't trust anyone around me because I fear they will stab me in the back eventually." Balan blinked and his face took on a sorrowful expression. "Trust is something not given lightly, but should never be thrown to the wind," he said gently. "May I ask why you fear giving your trust will result in tragedy?"

"Once upon a time my real family abandon me and gave me to someone who loves to hurt me then a guy that I had a crush came with another girl and made fun of me." Amelia said while trying not to cry again Balan noticed that and gave her a handkerchief. "My goodness," Balan said. "No wonder you keep such a guard on your heart. But I sense there is some light in that darkness. A young man, who loved you as you are from the start."

He could see from Amelia's memories that she was happy with Jack, and he smiled gently. "I can see you are happy with the young man you love. Surely whatever caused this fight can be resolved? Perhaps it was a misunderstanding? Or something was mistaken to be more than it was?" he asked gently. Amelia flinched at that. " a text is what started it. But how did Sierra get his number in the first place?" Balan lead her to the table where the tea set was.

"Who is this Sierra?" He asked gently as he gestured for her to sit down in the chair at the table. She sat down and he took a seat himself, carefully pouring some tea in a cup and handing it over to her. "The sugars on your right," he said, where she could see a sugar bowl. Amelia thanked him and saw the creature that guided her here hop over to her." Oh, hello little guy…" Balan laughed as the creature hop to her shoulder nuzzled her, causing her to laugh. "This little Tim really likes you."

Amelia petted the Tim and poured in some tea. The two talked about her dreams and her fears. To Amelia, Balan is like an older brother. After a while she began to feel tired Balan noticed and smiled, seeing that exhaustion after the ordeal was creeping up on the girl. He stood up and scooped Amelia up into his arms, cradling her protectively, reminding the teen of her father. "Let's get you to bed," he said, his voice soothing once again. "We can discuss this more after you get some sleep."

The Tim snuggled into Amelia's arms, and she felt her eyes droop more before resting her head against the tall being's shoulder. Amelia smiled but wanted to stay awake to see her friend and boyfriend to apologies. He smiled gently and petted her head to relax her. "Let your troubles go and get some rest," he said. "I promise your heart will be mended soon, Amelia." He had a clone open the door to the guest room and tuck her in. Amelia fell asleep as her head hit the pillow. "Pleasant dream, my dear." Balan turns to sees lance at the doorway.

"How is she?" Lance asked quietly.

"She is alright, but her heart is hurting," Balan said quietly.

His counterpart gave the girl a sympathetic look before turning to Balan. "We should find the other three," he said. "I'll see to the older boy since he is hurting as Amelia is."

"Then I shall go find the other two," the Positive Maestro agreed, both leaving the room and closing the door softly so that the sleeping teen wouldn't be disturbed.
