"This is taking too long. We're never going to make it in time like this. I'm going change the plan a little, I'm going to split you up. With that, we have a slight chance of making it. Okay, the groups will be Koda, Ruby, and Aiden. Lyra, Drago, and Anastasia. And as last Ravi, Lewis, and Lotus." Hydra said in their coms.
Lyra gave Anastasia a high five. "Let's gooo!"
Drago leaned on the two girls head. "This is going to be fun."
Anastasia swiftly put Drago's arm behind him. "I might not be as big as most of you but I know how to get someone bigger on the ground in three seconds." The rest of the group laughs a little as Drago surrenders to Anastasia.
"I'm going to miss you girls. Have fun!" Ruby said as she hugs Lyra and Lotus a hug.
"Oh trust me. With me in her group, she will." Lewis messed with Lotus her hair.
"We'll miss you too," Lyra said.
"Okay Koda, in your bag you'll find three tickets for a cruise where you'll find Pisces. The same is for Anastasia's bag with festival tickets. I'm giving these to you so you won't miss them and it will be easier for you." Hydra explained.
"A cruise? Score!" Aiden gave Ruby a high five.
"OMG, we're going to a festival!" Lyra cheered."
"Ravi, Lotus and Lewis, your bag will be filled with everything you need to survive in the wild."
"Wait where are we going then?" Lewis asked while looking at Lotus and Ravi.
"To Canada." They said in unison.
"The plane to Australia is ready so you need to go now."
"Bye!" Aiden said.
"Good luck." Ravi joined.
Lyra stopped and turned around. "Oh and boys. If something happens to them, I'm going to kill you." She said with a sweet smile and the boys gulped.

"So which festival are we going to visit?" Drago asked as they walked to their apartment in New Brighton.
"Splendour in the Grass." Anastasia read aloud of the tickets. (A/n I changed the date of the festival for the story. In the story it's 7 September.)
"It's a 25 minutes drive from our apartment and it starts about an hour from now. Just enough time to get ready." She added.
"Man Aquarius sure traveled long for one festival," Drago said.
"For Aquarius, it's an eight-hour drive."
"Damn that's long." Lyra and Drago said.
"Then you should go live in bigger countries. It won't be so long then."
"Nah, I'm good. I mean, the weather sucks sometimes in the Netherlands, but it's okay to live there." Drago nods in agreement.
"Now let's change our clothes then so we can go."
After 20 minutes the girls got out of their room and walked into the living room where Drago was waiting.
"It looks like I'm going to be your bodyguard at the festival," Drago said when he saw them in their outfits.
Anastasia was wearing a plain black bralette with light jeans shorts and a black head with sunglasses. She also wore black ankle boots and a black long choker.
Lyra had ripped shorts with black sneakers and a white top with lace on the back. Over it, she had a colorful vest. Her hair was styled and she had a flower crown on her head.
"Well if you're going to a festival, you gotta go in style," Lyra said.
"And if I remember correctly I can take care of myself. So shall we go now?" Anastasia asked as she walked out the door and Lyra and Drago, with his white shirt and black pants, followed.
When they arrived at Splendour in the grass it was already pretty crowded, even if it just started 15 minutes ago.
"Well it's going to be a pain in the ass to find Aquarius here, but it will be AWESOME!" Anastasia said as she and Lyra walked into the crowd.
"Hey! Wait for me! Where would you girls be without your bodyguard?" Drago shouted.
"Safe!" Anastasia shouted back.
Drago heard giggling behind him and turned around. "Bodyguard huh~"

"I'm glad we have this sensing ability otherwise this would be no fun. Now let's party to Aquarius, shall we." Anastasia said as she hooked her arm in Lyra's.
They walked to the food area where they sensed that Aquarius would be. It smelled reeeeeaaaaallllyyyy good there. They saw all delicious food being prepared and their mouth started to water. And the best thing was that there were a lot of stands smelling like that.
"A new friend who likes festivals with food? I already like her!" Lyra said and Anastasia nods in agreement. "Wait I see her!" They walked up to a girl with light blonde hair and Jade colored eyes. Her hair was in a ponytail with a feather in it. she was looking at the food on one of the food stands. Anastasia stands next to her and looks at the food too.
"They all look delicious, don't they?" She asked and looks at the girl.
"Yeah, but I'm trying to see which ingredients are in them for new inspiration." The girl said still focusing on the dishes in front of her.
"Why don't you buy one then to taste which ingredients are in them."
"I would be broke if I would buy all the dishes on the festival. Instead, I'm looking for the most interesting ones to buy."
"Are you such food lover then?"
"Yeah, I want to be a chef later." She now looked at the two girls standing next to them with a smile.
"Well, we maybe have a job for you then." The girl looked at us confused.
"You can cook for us. You'll be cooking for twelve, including yourself, and you'll be living with us, Aquarius."
"Aquarius?" She asked and Anastasia put a hand on her shoulder.

"Looks like you need a bodyguard more than we do," Lyra said as she walked up with Anastasia and Brooke, Aquarius, to Drago who was surrounded by a small group of girls.
"Who's says that? I've got everything under control."
