Khloe stared at the kingdom through the window, watching as the other butterflies flew up and down with their smiles, as they were the happiest to live as a butterfly.

One of them dared to look at Khloe, and Khloe gazed. The butterfly smiled and waved, yet Khloe just waved, keeping a serious look on her face. The butterfly then flew away, and Khloe looked forward again, to then hear a door burst open. Another butterfly fleeted towards her,

"Khloe! Bad news" he said with a nervous voice.

"Yes?" Khloe replied monotonously, keeping her sight on the kingdom outside.

"Queen Melanie...She's gone." He spoke.

Khloe's eyebrows rose in surprise, "Well that's new" she said.

She lifted her spade, then turned the top of the handle to land on her palm, flew rapidly through the door, and went through the empty halls. Finally, arriving at the main room to see the empty throne. She stopped, and her eyes widened. She stared at it for a moment and turned her head to another guard, "Amelia, what happened here?" She asked.

Emilia turned to Khloe, "I was asleep, and woke up to guard the queen as you told me to then suddenly saw the throne empty. I looked around everywhere around the palace, and she's not here." She replied as Khloe listened to her patiently.

"Okay. Have you or any of the others checked the entire kingdom?" Khloe asked once again.

"I sent two guards to check the kingdom and announced the citizens to check around their own areas. I haven't been notified about any findings yet" Emilia replied.

Khloe then turned to the throne again, her antennas beginning to wiggle slightly, "That's...a new situation." She stared at the throne, thinking of what to do. "Take care of the palace, I'll go around other places around the sky. I might have to go down earth..." She said, flying away.

Pluto flew towards Emilia, "She seems very anxious, I hope she's okay." Pluto spoke. "I don't blame her, after all, it is a new situation" Emilia replied, "How is the kingdom Pluto? Anything yet?" she asked, turning to him. "Unfortunately, no." Pluto replied. "Any guesses on what might have happened?" She asked. "She probably got kidnapped" He replied.

Khloe's antennas began to wiggle increasingly as she looked around the kingdom with no sign of the queen, no sign of the familiar orange wings, no signs of a shiny crown—a crown on the floor. Khloe's eyes widened as she saw the crown on the floor and she gently picked it up, examining it. She felt her heart racing the more she stared at the crown.

Why is the crown on the floor in the middle of the kingdom? Why is it not on her head? She couldn't control her thoughts at all. She then picked up a whistle from her pocket and blew it with all her energy and air.

The four guards then gathered at the front of the palace, landing on the floor and placing their spades on the floor. Khloe then landed in front of them, she stood in front of them, raising the crown to show them. "She must've been kidnapped" Khloe told rapidly as her antennas wiggled. They raised their eyebrows in shock, not knowing what to say, until Khloe spoke again, "And I'm going down to earth to search for her"

"What? But it's dangerous! You know how humans are, Khloe. You could get seriously hur--" Pluto was interrupted. "Pluto you're acting like this isn't my job to do." She said, beginning to fly in circles while her antennas wiggled even faster. "Without out queen there won't be anybody to rule us and that would cause for the citizens to do whatever they think is right and then EVEN THE KINGDOM MIGHT BE DESTROYED IF SHE DIES!!" She then began to yell.

"Huh, as a veteran guard I never thought you'd be so anxious about a situation like this..." Jacob said. Khloe turned to him, "Jacob, this is an extremely dangerous situation itself, if someone does not make a move and try to solve this problem WE WILL DIE. Do you all understand?" She sighed and landed on the floor, placing her spade on the ground and trying to support a straight posture. Pluto stared at her in worry, then sighed,
