     " Alex, Aphmau's calling for a meeting by Kiki's barn."

     " About Ivy? And Tu'la? And O'khasis? I had a feeling this would be coming soon, how many will be there?"

     " I'm going to go get Katelyn, Lucinda, and Travis in just a moment. I just wanted to make sure I told you first, considering you were also there when Ivy attacked by the crater."

     " Yeah... I'm sure Aphmau'll make it through all of this, she's a strong girl with a good heart, she knows how to lead. No matter what choice she makes later, I'm sure it'll be the right one."

     " Right... I just wanted to check how you were doing, I'll see you by the barn."

     " Actually, could I go with you to get the others? It's been a while since I talked to either Lucinda or Katelyn, well... more like since they've talked with me, and I don't think I've ever had a conversation with Travis."

     " Sure, come on."

_________________________________________________________

     " Before I get to why I've asked you all here, I just want to say thank you... you've all been there for me and none of you gave up... I'll never forget the kindness you've all shown me, and I hope that one day I can repay you all."

     Katelyn was the first to respond." Of course Aphmau."

     " You need not repay me."

     " You are never a bother."

     " Anytime! But can we save the sentimental stuff for later? It's not really my thing. Feelings make me... uncomfortable."

     " I think." Lucinda spoke up." What Travis is trying to say is, we'll always be here for you."

     " Count on it! See Katelyn? Lucinda gets it."

     " Thank you, Aphmau. We'd be lost without you."

     " Thank you." She stopped talking for a moment before Travis broke the silence.

      " So, what's the plan?"

      " Right, I know a lot has happened in the past few days, but one thing has become undeniably clear, Tu'la. We need to know more about what Tu'la wants. They came to Ru'aun for a reason, but no one seems to know why."

     " Do we have anything to go on?"

     " Only a little."

     " So far, by which I mean as of quite recently, someone has attempted to take both Garroth and Aphmau back to O'khasis."

      " That's right, the two of us factor into their plans somehow."

     " Who was it that tried to take you both away?"

     " Ivy came after us again, with help. It was something Ivy said to me than that... she said that she wanted my relic."

     " Ivy!? She came back!?"

     " She's been here before?"

     " What is she doing? Acting as Tu'la's dog? How exactly did she get Janus' sword?"

     " I share your frustration Lady Katelyn."

     " We all do," Aphmau paused for a moment." Which is why we're going to O'khasis."

     " We-!?"

     " What!?"

     " Could you repeat that please!?"

     " You cannot be serious."

     The short girl chuckled slightly." I am."

     " So your plan, as the two most wanted people of Tu'la, is to sneak into their own territory?"

     " I can't believe I'm saying this, but Travis brings up a good point."

     " I understand your concern, but the last place Tu'la would think to look for us is right in their own backyard."

     " More like their front door..."

     " Regardless, Garroth and I are a threat to anyone and everyone around us, we need to go into hiding."

     " Why not back to the island then? No one really knows about it."

     "... No, retreat isn't going to help us or anyone, we need to know more about Tu'la and why they're here. The only place to do that is O'khasis."

     " As odd as it sounds... I think Aphmau's right. It is the best course of action at the moment."

     " I agree with Alex, what're your orders, my lady?"

     " Lucinda, I would like it if you stayed there, we'll need your witchcraft to help Phoenix Drop and keep it safe."

     " Of course."

     " Travis." Aphmau turned to her white-haired friend." Stay back and help her."

     " Stay here? With Lucinda? That doesn't sound like a job at all."

     "... Katelyn, you Alex and Garroth are coming with me."

     " Aww! You're taking Katelyn from me!?"

     The blue-haired woman glared at Travis." I would gladly go to O'khasis then stay anywhere near you Travis."

     " Ouch... but that's alright, I know you're just playing hard to get."

     Alex quickly ran between the two." Alright, alright, I recognize some words were said but now may not be the best time to punch allies in the face, wait until after this entire commotion is done for that."

     " Well that settles it then, unfortunately, time is of the essence, and we'll need to leave immediately, Katelyn, Alex, Garroth, get your things and meet me at the gate, you two," she turned to Lucinda and Travis." Split up and see if anything else can be done here, let's go."

A/N: Again, sorry for the less than one thousand word chapter, but in other news, I am super excited about the two new In The Heights trailers, as anyone who's read the Non-Stop authors notes knows, In The Heights is one of my favorite musicals, and I even for whatever reason decided to figure out what an In The Heights cast would look like if it were the Mystreet/Minecraft Diaries characters in it, so I figured out that Travis would be Usnavi, Katelyn would be Vanessa, Garroth would be Benny, Alex or Kim would be Nina, Lucinda would be Daniela, Kawaii~Chan would be Carla, and other then that I'm not sure... and that was probably very confusing for anyone who doesn't know In The Heights. As always I hope someone at least somewhat enjoyed this chapter, please comment if you feel like it, any to all comments make my day, and have a good day
