==========================

Timmothy awoke with a start to the clattering of pots and pans. He opened his eyes to see a girl about fifteen with wavy shoulder length brown hair digging through their things.

Timmothy quietly rose to his feet and approached the thief in silence. Just as the girl found his stash of coins, he grabbed her by the arm and turned her around. He looked into her eyes. They were a stunning green. The thief struggled, but Timmothy kept a firm grip on her as he sounded the alarm. Celest and Galen awoke as the girl escaped Timmothy's grip and drew her dagger, Timmothy did the same. "Stop!"

Cried Galen "What are you doing?"

They both turned to Galen and spoke at the same time.

"Catching a thief."

"Stealing."

Timmothy glared at the intruder "He was speaking to me."

"Excuse me? It's obvious he was speaking to me."

"Vagabond!"

"Parasitic Rat!"

Celest sighed and began to shout "Alright! That's enough!!!!"

All stared at her in shock but Celest just shrugged "Don't ever get me angry."

Galen smiled at Celest and turned to their thief "My name is Galen, and these are my two friends Timmothy and Celest, what is your name?"

"Why? So you can turn me in?"

Timmothy glared at the girl "Why not?"

"Timmothy." Warned Galen and then turned to the thief We just want to know."

"My name is Anna."

Timmothy nodded "Okay Anna, give us our stuff back."

"Only if you ask nicely."

"I'll give you nice."

"Alright! Alright! Calm down. Anna we really do need those things."

Anna sighed and handed a map and a bag of coins over to Galen. " So where are you three going?"

Timmothy glared "If you must know, we are going to find a Unicorn stallion."

"Maximus?"

They all looked at her in confusion.

"Who?"

"Maximus, the King's Unicorn, everyone around here knows who he is, magnificent beast, came to the royal stables about a year ago. Thing is that unicorn is never seen without wearing a golden bridle. Maximus is never left unguarded."

Timmothy looked at Anna Suspiciously.

"How do you know all this?"

"I'm a thief."

"Yea, I think you made that perfectly clear to us."

"Did you know that I could show you the way to the castle?"

"Well, no."

Galen looked at Celest and they both nodded. "Could you show us the way, please?"

"Whats in it for me?"

"We won't turn you in."

"I expect to be paid."

Timmothy glared at her "It isn't enough you just tried to rob us?"

Galen put his hand on Timmothy's shoulder "Relax Timmothy" He looked at Anna "We can't offer much"

Anne smiled "I'll think of something, meanwhile I'll need a horse."

Galen and Celest looked at eachother, then Celest turned to speak.

"Sorry, but we don't have an extra horse for you."

"Oh don't worry. I'm sure Tim won't mind walking."

Celest and Galen smirked, but Timmothy was furious "Why I outa...."

"Hey relax Tim. I was only joking, I brought my own."

"My name is Timmothy"

"Sure Tim, whatever you say."

Timmothy scowled, both Galen and Celest giggled. "They were made for each other."
