I stopped dead in my tracks. I had to pretend that I had NO IDEA what was going on, hoping they'd buy it. "Changelings?!" I pretended to gasp. "Don't even try that." The leader of the group said, approaching me. Dang It, I thought. But I still tried. "I'm innocent, I swear!" The leader rolled her eyes. "Don't act stupid, we have spies, you know." Double Dang It, I thought again. "Division," the leader started. "Go ahead and-" "Uh, Miss General?" A Changeling in the Division suddenly interrupted. "What is it?" The "General" answered. "One of the Mushrooms in your garden got stepped on a second ago." I gasped. The only Changeling I knew that had a mushroom garden... "Wait...Truffle?" I was too stunned to say anything else. Was my "best friend" just about to banish me? "Ding ding ding!" Truffle said. She then ordered the army to take me to the castle. "Whoa, hey, come on, now. You're my friend, aren't you?" Truffle stopped. "I don't know. I mean, I can't call someone my friend If they plot against their own kind, break like...3 parts of the Royal Policy, and totally abandon their best friend overnight. Does that sound like a friend to you?" "I get it, Truffle, but-" "Save it. I can't take much more of this today." And with that last statement, the army escorted me to the castle. I must be an awful friend, I thought.
