Pearl's POV: "Uh, Pinkling? Why don't you go grab my purse from upstairs." "Okay. Be right back!" After I saw Pinkling go upstairs, I ran over to the door, and opened it. 'Rina rushed in, and before I could see anything else, she slammed the door. "Pealie, big trouble. BIG trouble!" "Huh? Who are all those inklings outside?" "Police and reporters! Pearlie, our news office was robbed, and also Harmony!" "What?!" Pinkling suddenly came running down, carrying my purse. "Got it Pearlesent! This one?" "Uh...yeah....umm....Pinkling, I think you left my wallet on my bed. Go...uh...get it, would you?" "Oh, sure....Be right back." "Now 'Rina, what are we gonna do?!" "Well...we can't do our news show now that we've been robbed! Not until we get.....not until we get back our..." "Well? What did they steal?" "All the money we had stored there, and our costumes...and...." "What is it 'Rina! You're killing me!" 'Rina started to tear up. "They-stole-your-Pearlescent-Crown!" She said very quickly. "What?! My....My crown....." I felt my voice trail off. Pinkling came down again, and this time carried a huge box of things. "I realized your purse was empty, so I gathered some things from your room that you might want to take with you." "Oh. Thanks Pinkling...." "Well....? When do you leave for the Big day?" I looked at 'Rina. "Uh...right now! Right 'Rina?" "Huh?! Oh, yeah! Bye Pinkling! See you later?" "Yeah! By Marina, bye Pearlesent!" Pinkling smiled as we walked out the door. I smiled to myself. That crown meant nothing compared to my real treasure. But I guess 'Rina didn't have to know what that treasure was. Not yet anyway.
