"Let's get out of here quick!" 

Taeyeon made an order, all of them obeyed as they hurriedly escaped from the forest. The flames engulfed the whole forest but the fire doesn't seem to die down any moment. 

"Jessica, make a report to Kevin from Diamonds. Tell him that Tiffany and Minjun needs to teleport here as soon as possible." 

"Got it." 

Jessica ran back to the main building while Taeyeon, Yoona and Taecyeon warned people living near the forest to evacuate. Taecyeon noticed Yoona coughing badly due to the smoke and went over to her side, checking if she was alright. 

"Are you okay?" he placed a hand on her left shoulder. 

Yoona gave a bitter smile, "Yeah I'm fine."

Taeyeon shook her head, "Taecyeon, take her back to the building. I'll take care of the rest of the people."  

"Are you sure Tae? Would you like me to get Wooyoung?" 

"There's no need for that. Besides, Yoona might get sick so hurry." 

Taecyeon nodded in defeat, "Come on let's hurry before you cough more badly." 

He held her hand as they walked with each other while Yoona covered and nose with her hand. Once they've reached the main building, Yuri and the boys rushed down the staircase. 

"What happened?" Nichkhun asked out of concern. 

"A Prince burned a tree and started a forest fire. We helped the villagers near the forest evacuate from the area," Taecyeon explained while he sat with Yoona on the couch. 

Yuri sat next to Yoona, her back gently. 

"Yoong, you're coughing badly." 

Taecyeon stood up, "Hold on. I'll ask for an oxygen mask." 

"Hey Khun, I'll just check on Taeyeon." 

"Sure Wooyoung." 

Wooyoung left the building in a hurry and looked for Taeyeon. He saw Taeyeon coming back from the forest, sprinting towards her and pulling her in for a tight embrace. She was surprised of the sudden action and chuckled. 

"Wooyoung...I can't...breathe," she pretended to choke. 

He broke the hug immediately, "Oops! I'm sorry, you alright?" 

Taeyeon smiled, "I'm fine. Minjun and Tiffany are on the way." 

"Why did you call them?" 

"Someone has to put out the fire, unless you want Jay to make it worse." 

He giggled, "Okay let's go." 

Wooyoung draped an arm around her neck and over her shoulder. Taeyeon looked forward and saw Tiffany and Minjun from a distance. 

"Fany! Minjun!" she waved her arms up high at their direction. 

Minjun skipped forward and panted, "Where's the fire?" 

"Wooyoung let's accompany them," Taeyeon instructed. 

"Okay." 

"Let's hurry then," said Minjun. 

Yoona inhaled and exhaled a couple of times in the oxygen mask that was provided, regaining her normal breathing again. Yuri watched her carefully, while her back. 

"Yoong, are you okay?" 

Yoona held her forehead, "Not really. Where are the others?" 

"Wooyoung, Taeyeon, Tiffany and Minjun are in the forest putting out the fire. Jessica, Jay, Taecyeon and Nichkhun are currently helping the villagers, checking whether anyone is hurt or not." 

"I see. My head hurts," she frowned. 

"Do you need an oxygen mask?" 

"No thanks, I just need to rest for a while more." 

Yuri nodded, "Alright, I'll lead you to your room." 

Yoona refrained her from standing up and shook her head. 

"I want to stay here. Just in case they're back soon." 

"Yeah right, you're just waiting for Taecyeon," Yuri smirked.

"No I'm not! By the way, how is your relationship with Khun?" 

"We made up..." 

Yoona narrowed her eyes, "That easily?" 

"What? He said sorry so we made up." 

"Good. I wouldn't want seeing you having terrible moodswings." 

Yuri swatted Yoona's arm lightly as both of them giggled. 

"So how did everything go?" 

Tao questioned Chanyeol after returning from the forest. Chanyeol scoffed, grinning. 

"I burnt half of the forest down." 

"Nice, but you're supposed to get caught remember?" 

"Not now Tao," Chanyeol groaned. 

Lay appeared out of nowhere, eavesdropping the conversation between the two. 

Chanyeol looked up and smiled, "You've been eavesdropping right?" 

Lay shrugged his shoulders, "I couldn't help myself." 

"It's your turn Lay," said Tao.

"I know. I just need a bit more time since I heard that they're clearing up the forest."

"Good luck."

Minjun stuck his hands out and froze the burning flames. A cool breeze drifted along the air, freezing everything in its way. The burnt trees and branches were coated with a blanket of snow in a blink of an eye. Tiffany and Wooyoung gazed at their surroundings in awe, while Taeyeon smiled in satisfaction.

"A pretty gift you got there Minjun hyung," Wooyoung complimented.

"Thanks, but the snow will melt sooner or later due to the surrounding temperature."

Tiffany wondered, "How are you guys going to find them now?"

"We'll still continue patrolling here since the other half of the forest still remains," Taeyeon pointed at the remaining trees huddled on the other side.

"I guess we'll head back now," Minjun reminded.

Taeyeon nodded, "Be safe alright?"

"Of course~!"

Tiffany and Minjun bid their farewell and made their way back to the Diamonds district. Wooyoung and Taeyeon marched back to the main building. Once the rest of the team have finally settled down with the villagers, all of them went back to the main building's lobby. Yoona and Yuri stood up immediately once they've seen the group coming in. 

"How's the villagers?" Yuri asked. 

Taeyeon simply smiled, "They're fine. The fire had been put out so everyone's safe. We'll discuss this afterwards." 

Wooyoung followed Taeyeon as she went upstairs without turning back. Jessica sat beside Yuri while Taecyeon and Nichkhun approached the girls. 

"Yoona are you feeling better?" 

She gave a slight nod at Taecyeon, "Yes I am..." 

"That's good to hear...make sure to get plenty of rest okay? Come on Khun, let's leave the ladies alone." 

Taecyeon and Nichkhun headed upstairs and went to their rooms, finding Ian blankly staring outside the window. 

Nichkhun tapped his shoulder, "You okay there bro?" 

Flustered, Ian turned to him and nodded. "I was just staring outside the window." 

"Ian, remember you're on our team now. Don't even think of betraying or we won't hesitate to take actions on you," Taecyeon sternly reminded. 

"Yes, I got it Taecyeon-ssi...under all of your circumstances I don't have any chances of escaping nor betraying." 

Nichkhun broke out a hearty chuckle, "You guys must've threatened him a lot." 

"Not really Khun, Taeyeon listed out all the consequences," Taecyeon smirked. 

Ian turned back to face the window and sighed. "A forest fire occured huh?" 

"Fortunately, Minjun put out the fire on the time." 

"Taec, it's time for the discussion let's go." 

"Okay, Ian don't go anywhere understand?" 

"Got it." 

Taecyeon and Nichkhun left the room and marched to the landladies' office. They found Taeyeon standing by the window while the rest of them sat on the couches or standing in one corner. Taeyeon turned around and snapped a finger. 

"Okay, since Taec and Khun is back let's discuss." 

All of them turned to their leader, paying close attention. 

"Our patrolling areas are still the same but this time I would like at least two of you guarding the forest and two guarding the town. We will take turns so no worries about your shifts. Questions?" 

Silence took over the office. 

"I'll take that as understood. Okay, give yourselves a quick break and it will be the guys' turn to go on patrol. Now if you may excuse me, I have to talk to the landladies." 

Taeyeon left the office quietly leaving the rest of the team meddle with themselves. Yuri noticed Yoona's head resting onto the armrest of the couch and sighed. 

"Sica ah, Yoona dozed off." 

Taecyeon turned to the girls' direction and walked closer to Yoona. 

"I'll carry her to your room." 

Taecyeon picked Yoona up gently while Jessica and Yuri led him to their room. As he walked, he couldn't help but to gaze at his sleeping beauty. 

"Sica ah, Taecyeon and Yoona looks like a newly weds," Yuri whispered. 

Jessica looked back and giggled, "It's like the husband carrying the bride to their suite in a hotel!" 

Yuri swatted her arm, "Yah! Why are you talking about hotels all of a sudden?! Don't think too much Sica ah~" 

Taecyeon shook his head and smiled, "You know you two are really bad at whispering." 

The two ladies broke out in laughter, "Sorry Taec!" 

They entered the room and Taecyeon carefully laid Yoona on the bed, planting a kiss on her forehead before he leaves. 

"Make sure you two take care of her," he warned. 

Yuri and Jessica saluted. "Yes sir!" 

Taecyeon flashed a grin and closed the door behind him. Yuri sat on the bed just beside Yoona. 

"Taecyeon is really protective of Yoong. Don't you agree Sica?" 

Jessica pouted, "Agree!" 

Little did they know, Yoona was listening to them secretly as a smile dawned upon her face. 

Nichkhun and Jay patrolled along the streets in town and suddenly heard that someone needed help urgently. Both of them rushed towards the scene and spotted a young girl who happened to fall from a tree branch. However before they could help, a young man approached her and the girl appeared to be calm the next second she laid her eyes on the young man. Nichkhun and Jay went closer and observed him curiously. The young man placed his hands on top of her wound at her right knee cap. It's as if a miracle just happened, the girl's wound disappeared once the young man pulled his hands back.

"Woah...thank you so much!" the girl hugged the young man cheerfully.

"You're welcome~"

Jay tapped the young man's shoulder and asked, "How did you do that?"

The young man smiled angelically making Jay feel strangely calm, not to mention that the young man is exceptionally good-looking. Feeling weird, Jay took a step back while the young man stood up from the ground.

"I'm Lay, a healer. Nice to meet you."

Nichkhun creased his brows but couldn't help but to feel calm as well as if the young man looks like a friend rather than an enemy to him. Jay awkwardly shook hands with the young man even though he didn't intend to. Lay gladly shook hands with him, thinking that his plan is going perfectly.

"Here comes trouble," Lay thought to himself.

HAPPY 2013~! And of course the last line if from gg's IGAB :D  the MV was awesome by the way, and rapper Yoong nailed it! 

*Note: For Lay's appearance here, his ability can make people feel safe and calm (I just made that up by the way) SO, Nichkhun and Jay will not suspect him as a threat or whatsoever the same goes for Taeyeon, even if she can read minds, Lay has an ability to convince her that he is not an enemy/Prince* 

Okay, I hope that note helps.....i think....LOL ppyong!
