Lena turned the heat off and put the sandwiches on the plates and cut them. " Would you like crackers for your soup?" She asked as she poured the water into glasses.

"No thank you," Alex responded kindly.

Lena put the plates and bowls at the small table she had and had also placed spoons for the soup. " What was it that you want to ask me about?" She asked after sitting down.

Alex sat down at the table as well, thinking about what he had to say before starting to talk. "I think...we need to start the coup soon, or see if Bryce would be willing to let the others out for a little bit. Their bishies are starting to get tired very easily," Alex explained, waiting to see if she knew what that meant or not.

" That isn't good if the bishies are getting tired like that. I think that would be a good idea to start the coup soon. The rebels have a plan in motion, but want your opinion first before they start the next phase." Lena said.

"What type of plan?" Alex asked as he raised an eyebrow.

" It involves breaking your friends out of the prison Bryce has them in. There is a hidden trap door where they are being kept that goes to the underground. They want to get your friends out to get Bryce angry and that would be the time to strike. Bryce is easily distracted when he is angry. Do you want to help?" Lena said .

"I'm in, definitely. Although perhaps we can use the dragons as part of a distraction so that he doesn't accidentally see us when we break them out?" Alex asked after some thinking after taking a bite of his grilled cheese sandwich.

" Sounds like a good idea. They are planning to start tomorrow afternoon. Your friends will have to stay in the Underground , but it's the safest place they can be. " Lena said and ate a spoonful of soup.

"As long as their Bishies can see them, I think they'll be okay. I'm just not sure about Tracy or Saphira though..." Alex said before taking a small spoonful of soup himself. He was sure that his fellow Bishies wouldn't mind helping Carly and the others get out of that place.

" Why are you unsure about Tracy? As far as I know Bryce wouldn't keep her in a separate cell ." Lena said finishing up her sandwich.

"It's just that I don't know how the sleeping sickness will affect Saphira. If it's like other Bishies, then how are we going to sneak her there, or sneak Saphira to the Underground...assuming she could fit," Alex said as he slowly finished his sandwich.

" That is a problem. Though, once we get Tracy out, she can put Saphira in her bishie ball until she recovers. I know it's not a very good idea, but it's the only thing I can think of." Lena said as she took the dishes to the small kitchen.

Alex thought for a few seconds before coming to the same conclusion that Lena had. Taking his set of dishes to the sink, he thanked her for the lunch and the information.

" Would you like me to send a messenger to let you know when we start breaking our friends out?" Lena asked.

Alex turned around and nodded, saying that he would like that. He then headed out the door.

Lena locked the door once Alex had left and contacted her friends that Alex was going to help. She also had a messenger ready to contact Alex when. the Rebels had begun the offensive.

Alex walked through the streets casually with his hands in his pockets as he headed back to his hotel room. He was thinking about how to tell his Bishies, as well as the Bishies of Taylor, Carly and Tracy.

Max woke up feeling better, but was wondering why she had felt so tired all of a sudden. She just hoped she could help get Carly out of the prison.

(Yay, finally back up and running!)

Alex got back to the hotel room and let himself in. Once he got the attention of Nita, he asked her to let down the force field shield she put up around the room where Max and Sora were sleeping in and asked to wake them up. He had good news for everyone.

(Glad things are back up too. )

Sora woke up feeling better also. He hoped he would see Taylor again , having the feeling something was wrong .

Nita let down the spell she put around the door so that both Sora and Max could get their rest without being bothered. Knocking on the door, she waited to hear any responses from them. If not, then she would head inside and wake them up.

" I'll be there in a minute ." Max said as she brushed her hair before heading to the door.

Sora said that he would be outside in a few minutes himself. Nita responded that she heard them and walked away from the door, telling Alex that they would be out in a few minutes.

Max straitened her clothes and went out to the living area and sat down in a chair.
