Adira was tidying up her room. Everything looked neat and tidy again. But now that Adira was done, she realized she hadn’t seen her lucky tiara anywhere! She searched at the places she had been lately but didn’t find it. She asked some maids, but they hadn’t seen it. Where could it be? She thought about what could’ve happened. Maybe someone stole it! She decided she would wake up at 3:00 in the

morning to see if there was any sneaky business going on. 

    Maybe she could find out!

    Ding a ling ding! 

     Adira heard her alarm. She yawned and turned it off. She went into her closet . .

. . .  And she saw her lucky tiara! She decided to put on her ninja clothes anyway, because she wanted to take a walk. Her boots click-clacked on the floor as she walked around her castle.

    She sliced the rope, grabbed a net out of the bag, and trapped the girl. ‘’ARGH!’’ The girl yelled. Adira opened her bag and put

on her princess clothes.

     ‘’I KNEW IT, YOU’RE A NINJA PRINCESS!’’ The girl yelled again. 

    Adira dragged the girl to the hallway in front of her chamber. The girl was yelling all types of things. Finally, Adira yelled for the guards. When the guards arrived, Adira told them that the girl tried to trap her, but Adira managed to trap the girl instead. Drexel, a large guard with a curly beard, asked Adira, ‘’ Are you well? Are you
