       ---------------------------------------------------------
       This is a summary of the story up to approximately the point
       that it has been written to, and will be updated by Moderators
       when they get the chance:
       Summary:
       Chapter 1:
       Padme is a gardener in the royal palace and the queen has let
       her plant roses. This one simple act sends many things in
       motion. She meets the young maid, Belle, and finds that they
       have many things in common, then a bloke by the name of Link
       falls from a tree. He says that he was looking for fruit, but in
       reality, he was spying on Padme, whom he has a crush on. Belle
       can see his attraction to the gardener immediately and gives him
       advice slightly contrary to what he gets from his friend Dean.
       Padme sees them talking and Link's blushing, and guesses that he
       likes Belle. She supposes that it's going to be a wonderful
       show.
       Meanwhile, Prince Edmund is hiding in a bush, watching the
       goings on when Link runs right into him. He becomes angry and
       threatens him. When he turns around he sees Belle standing
       there. They exchange words, words that Edmund really does not
       like, so he plots revenge. No one makes a fool of royalty and
       gets away with it. XD
       Belle retires to the kitchen, where she does the last of the
       laundry before going to bed. Link and Tiana, however, have a
       lovely conversation while they wash dishes. Afterward, Link
       splits off and knocks on Padme's door, though he didn't expect
       Dean to be in the audience. While inside, Link and Padme made
       plans for a picnic lunch. When Link emerges, it's only too easy
       for Dean to tease him. The next day goes well for Link and
       Padme. They talk and laugh and loose track of time, only to end
       it with a small kiss. Dean's day was also quite good, seeing as
       he asked Tiana out on a date.
       Belle, however, is in the middle of a crappy day wheren she is
       transferred to being the prince's personal maid and has to clear
       his room of vermine throughout the entire day.
       Dean and Tiana's date didn't go as planned because she had
       gotten caught up at work.
       Chapter 2:
       This made Dean feel as if he had been stood up, and when Tiana
       tries to apologize to him, he is quite rude. Tiana runs to the
       garden and sits by Padme's rose bush to cry a little. Belle
       finds her in this state and talks to her, wishing bad luck upon
       Dean for his actions all the while.
       On the other hand, Link is present when Dean hurtfully disses
       Tiana and guilt trips him. He convinces Dean to go after Tiana
       and talk with her. Dean leaves their room and spends the night
       on Tiana's doorstep. Tiana, however, spent the night with her
       friend, not knowing that Dean was outside her home till the next
       morning when Link made him out to be suicidal, at least, that's
       the way Tiana took it as she ran from the kitchen.
       In other news, Edmund the prat strikes again when he orders
       Belle to clean his rooms for the upteenth time that day. Belle
       flat out refuses because she had to help prepare for the ball
       that was being held in the princes honor the next evening. He
       gets revenge by covering his room with his clothes for Belle to
       clean up when she returns to his rooms the next morning with his
       dress clothes.
       While she's cleaning, Edmund is hanging around Lucy while the
       dress makers fit her into her red dress, which Lucy informs her
       brother is one half of a matching set. The news does not go over
       well with the prince, but when she gets angry at him for almost
       squishing the flowers that Padme pinned on him, he decides to
       change his tune. He dresses in the red clothing and attends the
       ball as such.
       At the ball, Duck is waiting with other hopefuls looking for
       employment, and begins to get discouraged, but is brought back
       by one of the other hopefuls. Tiana is working the refreshments
       table when Belle approaches, offering her services. Tiana
       politely turns her down, and the maid walks away. Shortly after,
       Dean asks Tiana to honor him with a dance. Lucy complements, and
       scolds, Edmund as they lead the first dance.
       In less happy news, Link and Padme are at Padme's house, and
       immediately, a stranger approaches and hands Padme a letter. The
       note that Padme received said that the thorns on the prince and
       princess's outfits are poisonness and Tiana was pricked by one
       while dancing with Dean. Padme leaves Link to go to the ball and
       search out Tiana and finds her as she exits the dancefloor.
       Chapter 3:
       *Meanwhile, Edmund asks Belle to dance and she accepts
       reluctantly. While they are dancing, Lucy meets Duck and employs
       her as a personal maid. As a thank you for her service, Lucy
       gives Duck a flower, but Duck pricks her finger and the poison
       that was on the thorn enters her bloodstream.
       Padme approaches Edmund and tells him that the flowers are
       poisoned, then she hears Dean shout and learns that Tiana was
       also poisoned. Dean attempted to suck the poison out.
       Belle, noticing that the issue was only going to escalate if
       something wasn't done soon, got up on the dias and ordered
       everyone out. They obliged easily once they learned that poison
       was involved. Belle gathered all the flowers in her dress
       carefully. Lucy took the flowers from her and gathered some of
       the poison in a vial before throwing the flowers on the fire.
       Off to the side, Fakir was watching and decided to try and help.
       He touched Duck, intending to try to help, and a tingling
       sensation entered his being and the girl was cured. Padme saw
       and convinced him to cure Tiana as well.
       Scared, Padme decided to run away, and Link wanted to go with
       her, so they left the room quickly. Once they are found to be
       gone, Lucy tells Merida to find them. The archer got carried
       away and shot an arrow into Padme's leg. Tiana and Dean arrived
       and offered to carry her to the princess, but first the
       brunette, who had passed out  due to blood loss, was patched up.
       Link found out and found them, not happy.
       While this was going on, Edmund and Lucy were fighting about how
       to best handle the situation. After seeing Padme's situation,
       Edmund agrees to let her rest and get properly patched up before
       asking her questions. He and Lucy leave to get into more
       convenient clothing, while Fakir gets Belle to attend to Duck.
       Dean and Tiana clean and dress Padme's wound while Link looks
       on, worried. When the prince enters with his sword at his side,
       Link moves into a protective position.
       Chapter 4:
       Sherlock and John arrive, excited to start an interesting
       investigation. At first they are a novility, but Sherlock
       quickly becomes annoying. Though he is attempting to prove
       Padme's innocence. Hermione begins to follow and observe.
       Meanwhile, Belle and Meridian stay with Duck as she orients
       herself and answers their curious questions.
       Aladdin has a hidden agenda against the royals. He returns to
       his master with news of his failure and is given Tinkerbell as
       an accomplice.
       Aang is on a secret mission that Appa tags along on. He's a
       theif.
       Tinkerers attempts to trick Lucy.
       Edmund returns to his sister's side and sends Hermione to check
       on the king and queen.
       Belle goes to find the princess. Aang, inside of the King and
       Queen's treasure vault, demands Aladdin to show himself.
       Chapter 5:
       Hermione finds out from the King and Queen that there is an
       apparently unorganized invasion of the kingdom, and Hermione
       tells the King and Queen of the investigation into the poison.
       Sherlock announces that he has what he needs for his
       investigation, and is ready to make a trip back to his home to
       analyze the evidence in his lab.
       The princess puts the castle under a "Lockdown" no one in or out
       except them, and Princess Lucy is taken by Belle to see Duck.
       Merida offers Duck to stay with her at the castle and that she'd
       find a job for her.
       Moriarty has Jack Frost captive, and sends him off to go "play"
       with Sherlock and John
       Merida goes to talk to the King and Queen while Jack Frost flies
       off to find Sherlock for Moriarty.
       Cecelia has a servant fetch Edmund to tell him about the
       betrothal
       In the treasure vault, Aladdin bolts for the door
       Merida tells King Darien that she believes she is there for new
       orders, and to give them an account of the last night's events.
       Aladdin escapes Aang, and alarm bells go off, and Aang is
       caught, believed to be the thief at the vault.
       Merida proceeds to tell the King and Queen about the
       investigation. Lucy gets Duck ready for a briefing. Jack finds
       Sherlock in a carriage along the road, forming plans about how
       to carry out Moriarty's orders
       Aang summons Appa to rescue him. Aang finds Aladdin,  He grabs
       him, and under cover of darkness, leaps onto one of the castle
       towers. Aang then blind-fold and ties Aladdin to Appa's harness,
       and orders Appa to head in the direction of the base camp of the
       White Lotus, while he fetches his staff/glider. Aang fetches it,
       and flies back to Appa, but Tink had rescued Aladdin in the mean
       time. Appa helps Aang locate them, however
       Appa saves Aang, and Aang continues to hunt for Aladdin, bending
       a cloud around them to keep them hidden.
       At his "lab" at his house, Sherlock identifies the hair from the
       crime scene as a monkey's hair, announcing they would be looking
       for the monkey and his master.
       Padme finds Abu, who is left alone after Aladdin was captured.
       Sherlock and John go back to the castle, where Sherlock sees
       Padme with Abu, and declares he would be the monkey who would
       have done the handy work, the hairs perfectly matching. Sherlock
       declares he identified the poison coming from an Aggra-ban
       viper, and saying they were looking for a middle-eastern man,
       who would be the owner of the monkey. He then shows a sheet,
       having gotten samples of the fingerprints from the antidote
       vile.
       Tink transforms into a middle-eastern woman, and finds Abu.
       Sherlock gives a silent, discreet signal to John, who
       understands him. John asks the woman (Tink) to accompany him
       into the castle, saying the monkey must be hungry, and he
       wouldn't mind food himself, winking at her. Tink, however,
       skillfully refuses. John gestures to one of the other guards,
       who comes over to him, and John calls out for Tink to wait. At
       the same moment, John and Hermione (the guard) attack, tackling
       Tink, who promptly vanishes, taking Abu with her. Her and
       Aladdin then conspire, and Aladdin smiles at the question of
       poison.
       
       Aang captures Aladdin once more, determined he would not escape
       this time.
       Hermione detects where Tink had "apparated" to, and getting
       slightly away from the others, she apparated, to where she finds
       Abu running through the forest. Unfortunately, she had only
       caught snippets of the conversation between Sherlock, John and
       Padme and therefore does not know the significance of Abu, but
       has an inkling of why he would be important
       Sherlock decides to get samples of Padme's fingerprints, since
       the culprit escaped. When he compares them, there is no match,
       proving Padme's innocence.
       Last Post up to this point: (Ch. 5, pg. 5)
       Sherlock whipped the sample out of his pocket, and compared the
       two sets of fingerprints. "No match," he said, with some grim
       satisfaction, despite the suspect's escape.
