Cam and Maggie glared nervously as the Asian children from the last chapter wandered around their (stolen) valley.

"This is our bridge- I mean, valley," hissed Cam with a terrified look, "they can't just settle here and steal it back."

"Was that a subtle reference to BuzzFeed Unsolved?" Maggie questioned.

"Yes, but that's not the point. We need to get rid of them."

"Why?"

"I don't know, they're just making me nervous."

"Okay, then."


Somewhere in the vast wildflower fields of Cam and Maggie's valley, a Korean stroked a fat calico cat as she wove flower crowns. She carefully pierced holes in the stems of daisies, threading sprigs of rosemary and marigolds throughout. The girl gently lowered the delicate circlet onto the calico cat's head and hummed in satisfaction.

A bee suddenly landed on her arm, causing her to flinch and scream in terror. Leaping up, the Korean bolted away from the valley as fast as she could, which wasn't very fast. The cat blinked in confusion, wondering where the human had gone.

Seeing this, Maggie cheered quietly. Cam soon joined in, and the duo celebrated the departure of the first Asian child.
