�Hey,� Lorien called from Mystical�s doorway. She spun around to face the gelert, and got an annoyed look on her face. She and her adopted brother didn�t get along very well, and were always mad at each other for some reason or another.
�What do you want?� she asked, frowning. Lorien held out his deck of cards. �Cheat?� Mystical whined when she saw the cards. �But, we�ve already played that so many times today. I just wish it would stop raining.� Mystical placed her head in her hooves and stared blankly out the window.
Lorien shrugged. �Well, if you�re so bored, why don�t you finish that big pile of homework you have to finish by... tomorrow.� The Kau gasped. She had forgotten all about homework. She waved the Gelert out of her room and went over to her desk. She had one assignment left, so it wasn�t that much. She stared at her papers, wondering how in the world she was supposed to write a paper about being stranded with her worst enemy. Well, the worst enemy part would be pretty easy.

Lorien yelled, trying to make his voice heard above the wind. �Come on, we�d better get out of here!� he said shivering.
His sister nodded and the two made their way towards the bedroom door, but before they reached it, another gush of water rushed through the open window. Just as Mystical reached for the door handle, one last flood of water filled the room, and they were swept outside into the swirling flood of water, trying to stay above the surface, and fighting for their lives...
