The bucking ham palace stood where it normally did with such elegance. Today happened to be its day off from visitors.

Inside, two guards were watching over the most precious jewels alive, the three royal crests of Europe.

"Isn't it time for them to be cleaned?" The bigger one asked the other, nodding towards the glass box carefully placed around the jewels' stands.

The short blonde guard shrugged his shoulders, "It's close enough."

One went and grabbed the special cleaning supplies, while the other stood guard.

They put gloves on, and carefully removed the glass. One picked up the bright red jewel, and gently dabbed it with a paper towel saturated in a special cleaning soap used for there types of jewels.

"Uh, Boss." The big one gulped.

"What is it Bob." The blonde sighed.

"Why is it turning black?" He asked, holding it up for the other to see.

The blonde widened his eyes, and quickly grabbed his walkie-talkie.

"Alert everybody A.S.A.P." He yelled through the device, "The jewels are fake!"
