Blowin' In The Wind

They're All Gone

Ten Minutes Later

The storm finally started passing, and Amanda emerges from her hiding place. No windows were broken, luckily, and the sun has decided to come out. The swan princess steps outside into the now sunny background, but the sun wasn't the only thing that came out. Even a rainbow has blessed the clearing sky.

"Wow, what a beautiful rainbow! I wonder if... oh no, the lads! They must've gotten caught in the storm too! I hope they didn't get blown away like the Russos did." Said Amanda. She rushes back into her room and dials the number of the studio the Beatles work in.

"Hello, this is Brian Epstein, manager of the Beatles."

"Brian, hi, it's Amanda. I understand it's quitting time, and I know you're getting ready to leave. But I have to ask you, are the lads okay?" Amanda asked. "Believe it or not, Amanda, I was actually about to call you about them." Said Brian. "You were?" Asked Amanda. "Yes. While they were leaving, I was about to head home myself, until I noticed the storm started picking up. Shortly after I took cover, I heard yelling. That's when I realized the lads were being carried off by the wind." Brian said.

Amanda gasps. "You mean, they've been blown away... literally?" She asked. "I'm afraid so. But it was very bizarre, they were flying as they the wind took them. I wish I knew where they are now, but I unfortunately don't." Said Brian. "The same thing happened to the Russos. I'm gonna head over to Chamberg to see if my siblings are okay too. But thank you for telling me about the Beatles." Amanda said. "You're welcome, love, have a good night." Brian said.

The line went dead, then Amanda races out of the apartment after putting the phone back on the receiver. She changes into her swan form and flies to Chamberg. She flew so fast, she arrived in a matter of seconds, regaining her human form before entering the castle.

"Derek, Odette, hello?" Said Amanda frantically. One of the maids notices her and approaches. "Princess Amanda! You look like you just saw a ghost." She said. "Sorry, I need to know if my siblings are okay. Did they survive the storm?" Amanda asked. "As far as I know, they came back from their Council of Crowns meeting in one piece." Said the maid. "Oh, that's a relief. Do you know where they are now?" Asked Amanda. "Last I checked, they went to their rooms." The maid said. "Thank you." Amanda said.

The frantic swan princess rushes to Odette's room first, only to realize she's not in there. Next she goes to Derek's room, only to see his window open, but no sign of him. "They're gone. All my friends and family members... gone." Said Amanda sadly. She changes into her swan form again, flies through the window, pushes both sides of it closed with her beak, and flies back to the apartment to let out her emotions.
