"I... holy... I... Holy... I... CRAP!!," I screamed, standing up for the sofa.

"OMG!, no no no", I say pacing back and forth in Jacks living room, as me friends stare at me, "This can't be happening!".

"Ro, Robin, calm down!", Jem say to me as she puts a hand in my shoulder. I turn to face I have tears rolling down my cheeks and I bury my face in her shoulder and sob.

"Hey, Robin, how about we go down there?, ask what happened, how does that sound?", I hear someone ask I think it was Finn.

"That sounds good!", I say moving my head away form Jem and saying sorry, she just nodded and smiled. "Umm will it be ok if I fly ahead I need sometime to think... be alone".

"Are you sure you want to do that?", Jack asks me worriedly.

"Yea I'll be fine!", I say forcing a smile.

"Ok", Jacks says smiling at me.

"Should we walk or....", Finn says questionably.

Jem sighs, "I'll teleport is there come on, everyone else is facing their fears why not me too".

I watch my three friends teleport away as I walk outside and stare up at the Treehouse, and think about yesterday and all the fun we had watching movies and our pillow fight, and I sigh.

"I though things were looking up, I though everything was going alright, why did this happen?, WHY DID SOMEONE BURN DOWN MY HOUSE?!", I scream into the air as tears run down my face.

"Why did someone burn down my house?", I say again this time a whisper.

"I think I know why someone burned down your house", I heard a sheepish voice behind me say. I was startled and turned around to face the voice.

"Max?", I say my face in complete shock, "What do you mean you know why someone burned down my house? and how did you know where I was?".

"Umm, that's a long story but I might also know who did it", he said not looking me in the eye.

"How could you possibly know... don't tell me it was you, was that why you were at my house yesterday? To burn it down?"; I said taking a step closer to Max with every question.

"Whoah Robie, calm down!" Max said placing his hands out in form of him, "it wasn't me... it was someone who works for my father...".

"Your father works at a pharmaceutical company why would someone who works for him burn down my house?", I asked him confused.

" because... because..." he says hesitant to answer.

"Well because what! Maxie?", I ask getting impatient.

"BECAUSE HE'S THE CONTROLLER!", he yells at the top of his lungs.

"What?", I was shocked by what he just told me.
