In the laboratory

JULIET'S POINT OF VIEW

As I grabbed all the ingredients that are involved for the Devilio Magic, I suddenly noticed plastic bags with pounds of blood inside.

"Why would Maria and Peter have pounds of blood in this laboratory?" I asked as I frowned then I saw a plastic bag with Travis' name on it.

"Tr-Travis' pounds of blood." I frightened as I gasped.

Suddenly, the lights went off as I protected the bag full of ingredients of the Devilio Magic. Then, the lights went on but in a different kind of lights. It is just like my dream, I looked around and thought that I would pinch myself because it could be an imagination.

"Trust me Juliet, it isn't a dream so please don't hurt yourself." Travis said as he appeared infront of the door.

"Tra-Travis, what are you doing here?" I nervously asked.

Wait, this could be an illusion of Maria's, since the plan is Lauren will put Travis and Romeo to temporary sleep, so that they won't disturb anyone as for the moment.

"Nice try Maria or Matthew or Peter or whoever you are, you really think that I can fall for this. Well guess what, I won't fall anymore of your stupid jokes anymore." I said as I rolled my eyes.

"Aww, so you won't give your Travy a hug?" Travis asked as he pouted then he walked towards me as I walked to the exit.

"Don't you ever come closer to me-" I said then I cutted off my sentence as I looked at the person who opened the exit door.

"Another prank, nice try on whoever you are." I said as I rolled my eyes.

"J-Juliet, what are you talking about?" Romeo asked as he frowned.

"Right, you can't even act like him, can you?" I asked as I scoffed.

"Get out of the way-" I said then the "Romeo" cutted off my sentence as he pulled me in for a kiss.

The moment his lips are against mine, I tasted something different. But little did I know, I was put into sleep as well. Then, I fell down to the floor, and I fall asleep.

"Well it seems like you can be easily pranked with our stupid jokes after all, Fitzroy." Matthew said.

AUNT TIA'S POINT OF VIEW

"Where is Juliet at? She has been gone for awhile now." I worriedly said as I looked at Lauren.

"Do you want to go to the laboratory with me, Aunt Tia?" Lauren asked as she looked back at me.

"No, I think its better you would check your father, and I will check Juliet." I said then she nodded and we went to separate ways.

As I teleported to the window outside the laboratory, I saw Juliet falling down to the floor, holding the bag of ingredients then a guy named Matthew smirking.

"Nice job Matthew, I knew we would count someone like you." Travis said then he changed into Peter, Maria's husband.

"Illusion." I mumbled.

Peter and Matthew carried Juliet towards outside the room, so I made up a plan to distract them so that I could grab Juliet and put her inside the portal. I went inside the laboratory, and throw all the things I could see for them to be alert.

"What is that?" Matthew asked from outside then I continued to throw the things and I escaped from the other door.

"I don't know, let's check inside." Peter said as he opened the door and they went inside.

I recited a spell to open the portal I made to protect Travis, Romeo and Juliet, then I carried her towards inside the portal.

"Aunt Tia! They're here, they're getting closer!" Lauren shouted as I did a 'shh' sign and she and Michael ran towards me.

"Dad, they're here!" Matthew said from inside the laboratory then Michael changed their minds with his power to put them into sleep.

"A powerful magic I see, you should've done that before, Michael." I said as I scoffed.

"We both know Celestia that I can able to use this special power of mine thrice a day, so I have to use it wisely." Michael said as he sighed and they stopped running.

"Uhh, Celestia and Dad, I think it's best if you two do your talking later once the mission is done, right?" Lauren said as we looked at her.

"She's right, let's go inside the portal." I said then they nodded and did so.

Inside the portal

"Alright, phase three." I said then Lauren and Michael nodded.

"By the power of Magicia, I ask to wake the following people who are in temporary sleep." I recited the spell as I closed my eyes and placed my hands above Travis, Romeo and Juliet.

Meanwhile, Michael performed his ritual for him to get accessed on their minds, while Lauren keep an eye on them. Then, Travis and Romeo opened their eyes as they looked around.

"Wh-What is going on?" Romeo asked.

"We will explain everything once the mission is done Romeo, but for now, we need to wake Juliet up." I said as I walked towards him.

"B-But how, Madam Tia?" Romeo asked on confusion.

"A true love's kiss, of course." Lauren replied as she exclaimed.

"I-I can't do it, it would feel like I betrayed Travis once again. So, I think it's better if you'd kiss her, Travis." Romeo sighed as he looked at Travis then he flinched.

"U-Uhh, I don't think so Romeo-" Travis said then Romeo cutted him off.

"Please Travis, besides I know you are her true love after all." Romeo said as he smiled then Travis sighed.

Travis walked towards Juliet, and kneel down. We looked at them with a smile as he slowly leaned in for a kiss, then he immediately pulled away.

"I-I can't do it, please do it instead Romeo." Travis said as he stood up and walked away.

"B-But-" Romeo said then Travis cutted him off.

"You love her, don't you? So, don't waste your time and kiss her already." Travis said as he pushed Romeo to Juliet.

"Alright, alright." Romeo said then he looked over Juliet and kneel down.

Romeo slowly leaned in for a kiss, as the room had a silence. Then, Romeo kissed Juliet as a bright light surrounded them, after a few seconds, Romeo pulled away as the light faded and Juliet slowly opened her eyes.

"Wh-What's happening?" Juliet asked as she frowned.

"No time to explain Juliet, since everyone is here-" I said then Michael cutted me off.

"Celestia, watch out!" Michael shouted as he pulled me to the right then a person went inside the portal.

"Am I dreaming or do I actually see two of Travis already?" Lauren asked.

"Travis, what are you doing here? It wasn't included in the plan at all." The Travis who first came in, in the portal said as he/she walked towards the Travis who just went inside the portal.

"Cut the crap Maria, I don't want to be in your team anymore. You promised Romeo, and precisely me as well, that you won't hurt any of our friends anymore!" The Travis who just went inside the portal said as we gasped.

"Okay, but can you two atleast change back into your normal selves so that we can recognize on who is who?" Juliet asked as she scoffed and stood up.

"As you pleased, Juliet." The Travis who first came in, in the portal said as he evilly smirked then they changed back into their normal selves.

"So, that's why the 'Travis' didn't want to kiss Juliet, because all this time it was Maria!" Romeo said in anger.

"You know I have my ways Rodolfo, especially when I want to win this battle, I would do anything." Maria said as she evilly smirked.

"Never include them with this battle Maria, because the person who you should be dealing with is me, isn't it?" I said as I glared at her.

"Celestia, Celestia, just like the old you who is feisty and protective as always, now I see where Juliet has looked up to." Maria said as she glared back at me and she walked towards me.

"You heard her Maria, never include the kids with this one. Deal the battle with the both of us, and keep them away from harm." Michael said as he walked in the middle of Maria and I.

"Looks like the two of you are still a couple after all, oh right, you cheated on Celestia with the new girl of yours, as you should my Michael." Maria said as she scoffed.

"Don't you ever bring up with our past, Maria." Michael said in anger.

"Oh I will, once I will finish my most-awaited battle with you two." Maria said as she evilly smirked then she brings up her hand infront of us and pushed us with her powers to the wall.

"Aunt Tia! Michael!" Romeo and Juliet shouted.

"Aunt Tia! Dad!" Travis and Lauren shouted together with Romeo and Juliet.

"You will pay for this, Maria Greene." Juliet said in anger as she ran towards Maria and Lauren followed her.

"Madam Tia's crystal ball, on one of the bags she brought." Romeo mumbled as I smirked then Michael and I stood up.

"We'll see about that, Juliet Fitzroy." Maria said as she evilly smirked then she brings out her remote control and pressed a button.

The portal turned into black, and it started shaking like it is an earthquake. All of us panicked, as Maria did an evil laugh, then the portal disappeared and we looked around.

"Uh oh." Maria said then all of us shouted as we fall to the ground.

I immediately created a portal in my left side, then I looked over them.

"Hold on tight!" I shouted then they did so and we entered the portal.

"NO!" Maria shouted as she continues to fall to the ground and I closed the portal.

"Thank God, we are safe." Romeo panted as they rest panted as well.

"W-Wait." Travis said as he looked up and started counting each one of us as he pointed.

"Five." He continued.

"Wh-Where is Juliet?" He asked then we started to panicked.

"No, no, no, what should we do?" Romeo panickedly asked.

"Maria could've took her without us noticing." Michael replied as he sighed.

"We need to save her, Dad and Aunt Tia!" Lauren worriedly said.

"We will, but we need to find a way to keep us protected and safe. Maria has become more powerful than we ever expected." I sighed as I looked up at them.

"I know a way, but since I am no longer in the team anymore, it might not help." Travis sighed.

"What are you talking about? Of course you are still in our team, even though you chose to be with Maria and her crew." Romeo said as he walked to Travis.

"I made the wrong decision all this time, and its time to make things right to myself and to this team." Travis said as he smiled.
