"You have some explaining to do Ms. Fergison," Juliet said crossing her arms over her chest.

"I know, I know," I replied with a sigh. "It's only fair."

"Alright. Get on with it now."

"One day when I was in the castle, I heard a voice. It said that it wanted to help me escape, and break the spell that Agatha cast on me. The voice warned me that the witch was going to return, and that is how I am right here now," I explained.

"Wow. I can't believe that a spirit helped you escape that castle. Why does this voice want to help yo- I mean us anyways?" Juliet asked.

"I'm not sure, but I think that the voice knew something about someone I know," I stated unsure.

"I said that I am someone that you know," the voice corrected. "I promise to tell you who I am once all of this cursing and madness is over."

"Going back to our subject from earlier, how are we supposed to stop Agatha?" I asked.

"Juliet has to call off the wedding. If she marries Damian again, then that will cause Agatha to show her true colors and curse you again," the voice said.

"Yeah, that is true," I agreed.

"That's the problem," Juliet said, "between his work, and our plan, I don't know if I'll be able to break it to him."

"When is he coming home from work?" I asked Juliet.

"Later on tonight."

"Why can't you just tell him then?"  the voice asked confused.

"Because I want to take it easy on him. I don't want him to feel upset about my sudden change of plans," she explained to us.

"Forget about 'taking it easy in him', just tell him flat out. He should be understanding as much as he's put you through. Just tell him that your worried your relationship might not end well if he goes back to his old self again," I said.

Juliet stared at me with big eyes, not believing what she had just heard.

"I wouldn't expect such a good idea to come from you, Maya," the voice told me.

"I don't know whether I should be offended or not," I said with a pout.

"Don't worry about it," Juliet said, "we just need to develop the rest of our plan. Has anyone got any ideas?"

"The next part of our plan will be pretty easy, all we have to do is wait for the day after your wedding was planned to be, and history will be changed forever." the voice said.

Juliet and I yawned in unison. "Will you look at the time, Damian should be home any minute no-"

"Hey hun, who is this young lady?" a tall brown haired man interrupted.
