Trouble in Anarchy


Anarchy is usually a peaceful yet chaotic place. But today, Anarchy was a bit too quiet, ‘cept for the screaming and crying that managed to escape the walls of Starr’s house/cage.


“What do you mean they’re gone!?” exclaimed Gabbie. “Look! Look into my eyes and tell me, do YOU see them?! ‘Cuz I sure don’t!” sobbed Starr. “Oh dear, they’re not there.” Gabbie said as she rose up and began to pace the room in a frantic fly. “How could this be?! Who would do such a horrid thing?! And WHY?!” Gabbie started to talk so fast that everything just became a mumble and a blur of unpronounceable words. Then she stopped dead in her tracks; she just floated there in the air. Her head rose up from the floor, her eyes were so wide that you’d think something just tried to hit her with a fly swatter. Starr and Gabbie looked at each other for a good minute before either one spoke a word. Then Gabbie said in a curious voice, “Could…it have been…ya know…him?!” Immediately Starr said “No. No. No. No. No. He would never do such a horrid thing that he knew would hurt me so much.” Starr put her head down to were it looked as though she was studying the floor. Then her head rose with a saddening yet curious look upon it as she asked “…Or would he?!”

It didn’t take but a minute for the word to spread through Anarchy that Starr, the gorgeous faerie with BEAUTIFUL twinkling stars in her eyes, had had those twinkling stars STOLEN from her eyes. Hardly anyone could look at her. Her eyes were usually the most GORGEOUS color of deep blue (like a clear midnight sky) have now been turned to a saddening black that are constantly flooded and drained with baby blue tears. She had begun to give up hope of getting her stars back because no one could look at her long enough to help her. Then there was a small “Knock. Knock. Knock.” at the door. Upon opening it she found a bit of hope. There stood Beneke, the green mohawked punk mouse with his assistant, PaPa Smurf. They were both good at what they did and promised Starr and themselves they wouldn’t give up on this case.

“Now, I know it’s going to be hard to talk about, but if you want our help you’ll have to tell us everything and be truthful,” explained Beneke. Starr nodded her head in agreement to Benekes’ stipulations. “Okay, so when did you realize your stars were missing?” “This morning.” Starr replied as she wiped tears from her face. “Do you have any clue to whom it might be? And why?” Beneke asked politely. “Well, my ex faerie friend, David. You know David, correct? He’s the pink leprechaun.” “Yes, I do know OF him. But I do not know him personally.” Beneke replied. “Well, he may have done it. Mainly because I know he’s rather upset with me right now. Him and I were talking about possibly getting back together but then I found out he was also ‘talking’ with my best friend, Gabbie. So I told him that weren’t going to get together. When I told him that, he stormed out and hasn’t spoken to me in weeks. But I heard from Gabbie that he was on the phone with someone and told ‘em ‘If Starr won’t love me and won’t let me love her, then no one will love her! And those eyes!! God, those eyes are amazing! I’ll make sure no one will ever love her like I do!” explained Starr. Beneke, looking curious and puzzled replied “Hmmm. So David is a suspect. Anyone else?” “No sir. Not that I can think of right now.” Just as Starr finished her sentence there came a ‘Knock. Knock. Knock’ at her door. Flying only a short distance to the door, Starr opened it and there stood Tristin, David’s best friend. Starr greeted him politely and invited him in. Sitting down, Tristin said “I heard Detective Beneke was over here questioning you. And I thought I had a bit of information that could possibly be useful to you.” Starr and Beneke both thinking it was about David said “Go on.” Tristin started to explain, “I was at the tavern last night, eating dinner and having a drink when I heard Cyrus (the one eyes gnome) come crashing through the door with some other gnomes and trolls. They piled into a booth just behind me. I over heard most of there conversation. Mostly talk about working under the bridge (that was the trolls) and how hot it gets outside (from being a lawn gnome or doing lawn work). Then I heard Cyrus say ‘Ya know who I’m COMPLETELY sick of?’ They all replied with a curious ‘Who?! Who?! Who?!’ ‘Starr’ replied Cyrus. ‘She’s always flying around with her head held SO high! Batting BOTH of her beautiful eyes at everyone she sees, where they’re faerie-girls or faerie-boys, it doesn’t matter. And everyone just dies the second they look in her eyes! Someone should really do something about those stars in her eyes.’ And then they all just kinda nodded and went back to their grub. But I had a flashback of Cyrus saying that when I heard your stars where missing.” Starr and Beneke, both a little shocked, thanked Tristin and said that his information was very helpful. Beneke stood up, after Tristin had left and told Starr that he’d be working on the case non-stop ‘til it was solved. Starr stood up, thanked him kindly then showed him out.

After a little bit, things started to calm down. Starr ate her dinner alone and in silence. Then quietly made her way to be. Sleeping restlessly though the everlasting night. Awaking early to the ‘Knock, Knock, Knock’ on her door that she was becoming so used to. Slowly forcing herself out of bed, Starr made her way to the door. Opening it for Beneke’s melancholy face. “C’mon in, sit down and tell me whats wrong.” Starr said to him. Beneke walked in slowly, took off his trench coat and said “Gabbie has been faerie-knapped.” His words pierced through the silence. “WHAT?!” Starr screamed. “Whomever took her probably has your stars also.” Beneke explained. “Oh my goddess. Oh my goddess. Oh my goddess…” Starr repeated as she began to panic. “WELL GO! GET OUT THERE NOW! FIND HER! NOW! GO! GO! GO!” shouted Starr as the tears swelled up in her eyes. Beneke rose from his seat and ZOOOOOMED out the door! Starr sat down, her hands shaking laying out in front of her as her depressed and worried black eyes overflowed with tears once again, as she hoped for Gabbie’s return.

Meanwhile, Cyrus (the one-eyed gnome) had the day off so ha planned on being in the tavern all day. Beneke walked all around Anarchy looking for David, but he had no luck. He decided to take a break and have some lunch at the tavern. The very second he walked into the tavern he saw Cyrus. A light bulb went off in his head as he jolted over to the counter where Cyrus was finishing he 3rd lemonade and was watching some random show on the television. Beneke slyly slide into the stool next Cyrus and asked, “So Cyrus, how’ve you been lately?” Surprised, Cyrus slowly turns his stood towards Beneke and said, “Ello, Beneke. I been fine, jus’ fine.” “Glad to hear that…’nough with the small talk…I take it you’ve heard about Starr and that…” **Cyrus interrupts** “…Someone has stolen her stars.” Interrupts Cyrus. “Yes, I’ve heard.” “Know anything about that I should know?” askes Beneke. “No, why are you asking me? What did I do?” Cyrus said. “Well Cyrus, honestly I heard from…someone…that you mentioned something about Starr the other day…Is this true?” Then Beneke explained what he had heard. “Oh! Yes, now I know what you’re talking about. And yes it is true.” “So, you did say that about Starr?” replied Beneke. “Yes sir, I said it. But only out of jealousy. Starr is a great faerie and I would never do anything to hurt her.” Explained Cyrus. “But you may want to talk to David (Starr’s ex-faerie friend) and talk to him about the situation. Because the day before Starr’s stars were stolen I saw him constantly pacing and talking to himself AND he was EXTREMELY jumpy. But today, I haven’t seen him at all. I haven’t seen him since last night before he went over to Gabbie’s for dinner.” Beneke thanked Cyrus and excused himself. Oh his way through Anarchy, to get to David’s place, PaPa Smurf caught up with him. Beneke filled him with all the info he needed and could take. Then PaPa Smurf got pulled away on a traffic call (another dragon in traffic). So Beneke told him not to worry about coming back.

Beneke arrived at David’s shortly after 1 (pm). He banged on the front door…no answer. He banged on the window…no answer. He banged on the back door and Strawberry Shortcake answered. “Hello there!” Strawberry greeted Beneke and showed him in. “Hello Strawberry, what’re you doin’ here?” Beneke asked nicely. “Oh Alice and I got bored of Wonderland so we figured we’d stop by Anarchy on our way back to Lidsville.” Strawberry explained. “Ooooh, I see. Where’s Alice?” Strawberry called Alice and in she came. “Hello Beneke. WHOOOOOA!” Alice said as she fell face first onto the floor. “Are you okay?” Beneke asked as he helped Alice up. “Yes, I’m okay. Jus’ that darn cat got me to eat something odd again. But I’ll get him. Hahaha” said Alice with a playful grin on her face. “Girls, is David around? I kinda need to talk to him.” “Uhhh, I’m not sure. He may be in the back room. You can go check if you’d like.” said Strawberry. Beneke thanked then and headed to the back room. He opened one door, no one there. He opened another door, no one there. Reaching for the handle, he got the chills. He KNEW David had to be in there. Not knowing what to expect, he gathered his courage and flung the door open. No one there. He turned a corner slowly to find David trying to tie up Gabbie. “Stop right there!” shouted Beneke. “Well. Well. Well. Ya caught me. What AM I to do now?” David said sarcastically. “Let her alone David.” “Here! Take her! I don’t need her anymore.” David yelled as he flung the small faerie at Beneke. Jumping high to Gabbie, as she screamed “LEMME GO! LEMME GO! GET HIM! GET HIM! GO! NOW! GO!” Dropping Gabbie a short distance to the floor Beneke said “Fine!!” Beneke took off and caught a glimpse of David’s pink and black trench coat as he slyly turned a corner. “C’mon David…where are they??” asked Beneke. “YOU’LL NEVER GET ME LUCKY CHARMS!” screamed David. Beneke began to back off a little bit, waiting for David to make his move. Then he did, David came flying past Beneke. He was headed towards the dragon shelter. Beneke ran as fast as he could and made it under the lid just as he head the ‘smack’ of the two pieces of wood collide. “I can see them!” thought Beneke. He decided to make a run for it before David could find the light. And boy was he glad he did. He ran, jumped at least 5 feet in the air, grabbed the stars, and ran back to where the lid was. He hollered and yelled for Gabbie, Alice and Strawberry. Just as David went to hit Beneke with a 2 by 4, Beneke was gone! Alice had been holding onto Strawberries feet as she grabbed Beneke and Gabbie held the lid open. As soon as Beneke was in ‘smack!’ the lid slammed shut, trapping David inside.

Beneke and the girls hurried back to Starr’s house. Gave her her stars and then everything was oooookay. David got put into faerie jail for 30years. And everything eventually went back to normal.
