Two months later
Ariel walked up the stairs the mansion she lived in now and turned the doorknob. It didn’t turn. She searched her pockets for the keys. Once she unlocked the door, she went inside. She turned the living room light on and saw Arianna sleep on the couch. Her long sliver braids hung off the couch and fell on the floor. Ariel walked over to her and woke her up. She told her that it was 11:30 and that she needed to go to bed.
*****
The next morning
Dawn ran down the stairs and grabbed her books. Ever since she had received her letter she had been at library looking anything about the crystal she was supposed to find. She knelt down to pick up a pencil she had dropped and Jordan came up behind her. She turned around and saw him. He put his arms around her waist and gave her a hug. “ You spend everyday at library.” he said to her. “ I know I want to find out the.” Her sentence was cut short as a door upstairs closed. She looked over Jordan’s shoulder and saw young Kaori standing on the landing of the staircase. “ Oh.um sorry Kaori. “ She pushed away from Jordan and went over to the kitchen. He followed her. Kaori walked down the stairs. She looked out the windows and saw that it was still snowing outside. It had been snowing for a week. “ Hey, Kaori, want some breakfast?” Sora asked her as she stepped off the last step. Kaori blushed a little as she looked as Sora and said yes.
***
Craig rolled over in his bed. He opened his eyes. The sun was shining in through the skylight above his bed. He laid there for a few minutes. He started to think about Arianna but the smell of sausage and eggs interrupted his thoughts. He got out of his bed, put a pair of pants and a long sleeve shirt on. Then he headed to the kitchen. He knew Sora was cooking. He was the best cook in the whole house. On the way down the stairs, he bumped into Arianna knocking her over. “ Oh..I..I’m sorry. Ari. I didn’t mean to bump into you. “ He apologized .He helped her up and gave her a hug. Arianna blushed a little. “ Breakfast is ready in the kitchen if you want some.” She said. He let go of her and kissed her. She opened her mouth to say something but he put his finger over her mouth. He shook her head. “ Don’t say anything.” She nodded. “ I’ll talk to you later. Ok?” She nodded again. He gave her anther hug then went to the kitchen to get some breakfast.
Sonta stood in front of the full length mirror in her and Saori’s room. She turned to look at Saori who was still sound asleep. Sonta smiled. Her little sister looked so innocent when she was asleep. “Sonta, Saori, Breakfast is ready. “Kalani called through the door. Sonta opened the door. “ Saori is still asleep, Kalani.” She said. “Oh well I was just coming up to tell you that it’s ready.” “ Ok, I’m coming” She said stepping through the doorway and closing the door behind her. She left Saori to sleep.
Downstairs.
Sora, Jordan, Dawn, Kaori, Kalani, Sonta, Craig, and Arianna were sitting around the kitchen table eating and talking. Kalani heard the front door shut and someone come in. He got up and went into the living room to see who came in. Derick stood in the living room soaking wet. Kaori and Sonta came in and saw Derick who had off his jacket and shirt revealing smooth muscles to everyone. Dawn had ran to the laundry room to get a huge beach towel for him. She grabbed it and ran back to the living room. She gave it to him to dry off. He took the towel from her and wrapped it around himself. He then took a small box out of his pocket and gave it to Sonta. It was a velvet lined box. When she opened it, a blue and pink crystal necklace looked back up at her. She was speechless. The necklace was so beautiful. She him a hug even though he was still wet. Derick put his arms around her. They didn’t know it but he had fallen in love with her. She whispered a thank you to him. He told her that he loved her. Then he remembered he also had a necklace for Saori. “Where’s Saori?” He asked her. “ She’s still asleep” She told him as she stepped back from him and went upstairs to wake her up. 30 minutes later, Saori and Sonta came back downstairs on. Saori’s pink hair hung in pigtails down past her butt. “Thanks for this. “She said pointing to her necklace.
Meanwhile in the city
Ariel had just put on a necklace when purple and black light surrounded her. The purple light was so bright she had to close her eyes. When she opened them she was no longer in Russia but in the Cloud Kingdom. She stood up and looked around. She started to run but it felt like something was sticking in her back. She looked over her right shoulder and saw that she had wings. Purple and black fairy wings. She couldn’t believe she had wings. “ I wonder.” she thought as she ran until she was flying.” I’m flying! I’m Flying!” she said as she laughed.
The crystal necklace on Sonta started to glow bright blue. Saori’s necklace started to glow pink. Light surrounded them and when they opened their eyes, they weren’t in Russia anymore. They were standing where Ariel was standing only 20 minutes before in the Cloud Kingdom. “ Sonta, you have wings!” said Saori as she looked over her sister’s shoulder. “ You do too!” Sonta said. Saori started to walk towards the edge of the cloud. “ Saori! Don’t!” Sonta yelled as Saori jumped off the cloud. She ran to the edge and saw her sister flying.
Derick didn’t know where Sonta and Saori went. Kalani couldn’t believe it, His two sisters just disappeared right in front of him. He then remembered the letters and what they had said. “They went to the Cloud Kingdom. Remember what the letters said? They have their crystals and their powers. Now we have to find ours.” “But where are we going to find our crystals?” Derick asked him. “ Where did you find Sonta’s necklace?” Kalani asked. “ At a store called Atreyu Crystals. “ Derick told him. “Let’s go.” Kalani said grabbing his faux-fur lined jacket off the hook by the door.
Back to the clouds
Ariel had never felt more free in her life soaring above the clouds. She felt like she just fly forever but after a few hours of flying her back was sore. She landed on a cloud. As she landed, she heard what sounded like laughter. She turned around and saw Sonta and Saori flying towards her. They landed beside her. They all started to talk at once. Sonta told her that Derick had given her and Saori a crystal necklace. Then ten minutes after they had put them on, they had started to glow. The next thing they knew they were up here. Ariel told them how she had gotten up here. “ They must be wondering where we are right now.” Saori said. ‘They are.’ Ariel said to herself as she sat down Chinese style then laid down on her chest so she wouldn’t crush her new wings. Then she went to sleep. Sonta laid down on her side. Saori, tired from flying, fell asleep instantly.
Derick and Kalani calmed down and walked inside Atreyu Crystals. It was a small store filled with diamond earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and rings. “ Looking for something for your girlfriend or wife?” the young woman behind the counter asked them. “ Yes, I am. Her birthday is coming up and I want to get her something nice. “ Kalani lied. The woman took a long sliver box out from one of the cabinets. “ She’ll love this.” she said opening the box and revealing a beautiful crystal necklace that sparkled like the stars. Derick came up beside Kalani and saw the necklace. “ That’s the same necklace I brought for Sonta and Saori.” He said. “ May I see it please?” Derick asked. “ Yes,” The woman said handing it over but keeping an eye on it. As soon as his fingers touched the necklace, it glowed. Orange-red light surrounded him. He opened his eyes to find himself on the cloud with Sonta, Saori and Ariel. He woke them up and told them that he and Kalani were looking for them. Ariel pulled her phone out. “ Dang, no bars in heaven.” she said.
“ You don’t need bars up here and this isn’t Heaven. Your not dead.” said a young girl with long purple pigtails. “ I’m Ikaria and I’m the Cloud Queen’s assistant.” “ The Cloud Queen?” Saori asked. Ikaria explained to them that the Queen was in a comatose state and that her brother, the Dark Lord, was trying to take the Cloud Kingdom over. “ Why don’t you have wings?” Sonta asked. “ I don’t need wings. I was born in the Cloud Kingdom. You were born on Earth. Now if you will follow me, I’ll show you my kingdom.”
“ Derick’s gone! He disappeared!” he yelled as he burst through the front door of the mansion. He quickly recounted what had happened at the store for them. “ Well he has his crystal so he’s up there wherever up there is.” Sora mumbled to himself. “ I sure hope that they are okay.” Kaori said. “ I’m sure they are. They have Derick to protect them. “ Sora said with a smile on his face. “ Now, who’s hungry?” he said as he went into the kitchen and pulled a pot off of the rack hanging from the ceiling. He filled it half-way with water and poured egg noodles in the pot. Craig pulled the chicken out of the refrigerator. Soon they had chicken and pasta with vegetables on the table. Dinner was eaten and cleaned up. They all went to their separate rooms to await the rising of the sun. It would be unknown as to what tomorrow would lead to.
As the group walked along the puffy clouds to the Cloud Kingdom, Derick stopped them as he heard the sound of crashing waves. It had been two months since he heard that sound. Sonta and Saori heard it too. “ I miss Hawaii.” Sonta said. “How there can be waves when we are so high above the earth?” Saori asked. “ When you’re the Cloud Queen anything is possible.” Ikaria said. “ Now come on.” They kept walking for a little while then a voice stopped them. “ Hey, Ikaria is that you down there?” Ikaria looked up to see a girl with light brown hair looking over a tall wall. “ Morgan? Yeah it’s me duh!” “ Hold on, I’ll be down there.” A few minutes later, a young brunette was coming towards them. “ Did Lorian make that dress?” Ikaria asked her. “ Yeah, I love it. Are these the guardians.?” she pointed to the people standing behind and off to the side of Ikaria. “Yeah.”
Ikaria, Sonta, Saori, and Derick walked with Morgan through the gate to the castle of the Cloud Kingdom. It was a flurry of activity inside the walls. People running back and forth, different smells, animals, carts. They had to stay close together to get to the castle. Once inside, they went to the left and up a set of stairs. Morgan left them once they got to the top of the stairs promising to visit them all later. “ Guardians, this is your room. I hope you don’t mind sharing a room together.” She said as she opened a white marble door to reveal a huge open room. Even though the room had white walls, it didn’t look like a hospital.
There were different colors everywhere, reds, blues, light blues, oranges, yellows, purples, pinks, greens, light greens, and blacks. They walked in to look around. There was a living room in the front of the room. A wooden partition separated the living room from the sleeping area. The beds all had different colored bed spreads. They wanted to crash on their beds but their wings prevented them. Ikaria noticed them standing awkwardly beside their beds. “ You can make your wings go into your backs. Just think of your wings going into your backs.” They just closed their eyes and after a few ow’s they had their wings fixed. “ Sleep good.” She said as she left them to sleep.
Derick woke up hours later on something soft and puffy. As he was waking up he heard something rustle close to him. He looked to his side and was surprised to see he had wings. So he was in the Cloud Kingdom now? He shook his head thinking this was all a weird dream he was having. He stood up, not knowing which he was going, but he started to walk. He was still half asleep when he made it to the stone washed walls of the Kingdom. The gates were locked tight. He wasn’t getting in there tonight. He had to find a place to sleep till at least sunrise. He kept walking till he found a little cove in the wall. It was just big enough for one person to sleep. He climbed in the cove keeping one wing out to shield the moonlight from his eyes. Once situated, he fell asleep in the cove only a few feet from his friends.
The house woke up and carried on their normal routine. Kaori almost fell but was caught by Arianna and Darien. They were on their way to a coffee shop near their house. They all were upset still. After they had their coffee and a few cappuccinos, they headed towards the crystal shop. As they turned the corner to the shop, they were horrified to see that it had burned down. How were they going to get to the Kingdom now? Darien walked through the now destroyed store. Almost all the jewelry was either stolen or too broken to worth anything. But there was one thing, a golden gemstone, that was still in one piece. There was also a turquoise necklace. He handed the gem to Kaori and the necklace to Arianna. Within seconds sliver and yellow light surrounded them. They vanished before Darien’s eyes. He just stood there, unsure of what to do.
Arianna and Kaori landed on a soft cloud. They looked around. “It looks like heaven.” Kaori said to herself. “ Yeah, its does, doesn’t it?” Arianna said as she stood up.
“ But its not. Not even close.” They spun around to see a girl with purple pigtails leaning against a pillar. “ Who are you?” Ari asked. “ I’m Ikaria. I’m the cloud queens assistant Your friends are at the place. Now follow me.” Kaori followed Ari and Ikaria. As they neared the palace walls, Kaori’s mouth dropped open. It was like looking at thousands of diamonds in the sun. Only it wasn’t as blinding. She stayed close to them as they navigated the busy marketplace. Vendors were selling all kinds of things from animals to spices to fabric. Arianna pulled her close as they entered the marble entrance. Ikaria led them up a staircase and to a room festooned with many different colors. It was like a rainbow. Derick saw Ikaria come in with Arianna and Kaori behind her. Ariel, Sonta, and Saori got up and hugged Kaori and Arianna. Ari told them about the burning of the shop and how they got up here. “ Dawn, Darien, Kalani, Sora, Jordan and Craig are still in Russia?” Saori asked. “ Yeah, but for how long?”
Darien left the shop behind as he ran back to the mansion. He ran into Dawn as she was also running towards the mansion. He picked up the books she had then helped her up. “ Sorry, “ he said. “ No, it’s my fault. I wasn’t paying attention. I thought Arianna and Kaori were with you.” She said fixing her jacket. “ Well they were but they went to the kingdom.” “So that leaves just six of us for right now.” She said. He then told her about the arson of the shop. “How are we going to get up there now?” She asked. He shrugged his shoulders. “ I don’t know. Lets just get inside for now. “He said as he put a arm around her. The smell of sweet and sour chicken wafted through the hallway as they made their way to the kitchen. As usual, Craig and Sora were in the kitchen cooking. They always cooked the meals. Dawn found Jordan and Kalani in the living room watching COPS on TV. She plopped down on the sofa. A few minutes later, Craig and Sora brought the food in the living room. Kalani put in the movie that Craig had picked out earlier. It was called House of Flying Daggers. After they ate and the movie was over, they all went to bed. For some reason, Jordan couldn’t sleep.

I thought Arianna and Kaori were with you.” She said fixing her jacket. “ Well they were but they went to the kingdom.” “So that leaves just six of us for right now.” She said. He then told her about the arson of the shop. “How are we going to get up there now?” She asked. He shrugged his shoulders. “ I don’t know.
