When we got inside the book store it was old timey styles with the sliding ladders along the shelves. I was surprised to see many books and series that I recognized such as Harry Potter, Twilight and a childhood classic, Diary Of A Wimpy Kid. Whilst Octavia was in front Loona and I were walking together with our arms locked walking side by side. I had started to notice that many customers inside were looking and pointing at me, they obviously knew who I was but I decided that I would pay no attention to it. Octavia grabbed a book from one of the shelves from the Romance Fiction section and said to us "I'm good to go, I got what I wanted" and we followed her to the counter so that she could purchase her book.

The demon behind the counter looked behind Octavia at me and our eyes locked, the demon pushed his glasses further onto his face and asked "Hey are you that hellhound from the internet?" I didn't want the publicity after what had recently happened so I thought that I would lie and so I said "Uh no I don't think so" and didn't say anything further or made eye contact. Once Octavia purchased her book we all left the store and got back into the van and then we got back on the road again. Loona asked Octavia "So what are we doing now princes?" Octavia thought for a moment and said "I dunno I sort of only wanted to grab the next story in the series whilst getting away from my parents arguing" I was curious and I asked Octavia "It's not my business or anything but curiosity has the best of me, what do your parents argue about which makes you want to leave the palace?" Octavia narrowed her eyes and said coldly "Their failing relationship caused by dad cheating on Mom with your boss" Loona and I fell silent and we both felt embarrassed and I said "Right" whilst feeling awkward. 

Octavia saw and felt how awkward she made us feel and changed the topic and asked me "So Carter besides your relationship story with Loona, why did you decide to become famous?" I instantly replied back to Octavia "I didn't choose to become famous , it just sorta happened. It all started after Loona and I were invited by a friend of ours called Tex invited us to a Hellhound party. There was a concert by this Hellhound rock star by the name of Zraard who started spouting some shit to his fans which I thought made him sound a bit of a knobhead and someone by me heard me say my thoughts and called me out to Zraard on the stage. Basically Zraard wanted me to make a fool of myself on the stage by forcing me to try and play thinking that I couldn't". Octavia then asked "Okay so how do you know how to play or what made you want to learn an instrument or instruments?" I responded back "It stemmed from my upbringing and where I lived. I grew up in a rough neighborhood which was known for crime and violence. Most of the kids I new became gang members, sold drugs or went on the rob. I chose to stay out of that and secluded myself. I became bored and listened to music, it was my Moms old Beatles records, they inspired me though their lyrics and sounds. It inspired me to want to learn myself, and I started with the guitar and then the piano which we had in the house in the living room. It then stemmed to other instruments which Paul McCartney played and I wanted to be able to play as many as I could and that basically made me the music whiz I am. Anyway back to the concert, I wanted to show Zraard up for trying to make me look a fool so I played a song that I thought that Hell may have never heard before, at least not those who're Hell born and so I began to play on of my favorite songs, eventually someone recorded it, put it on the internet and there you have it".

Octavia nodded and then asked "Well how did you meet John Lennon? Surely there is a story meeting the legend himself?" Loona and I smiled at each other and I snickered and said to Octavia "Believe it or not it was a accident or coincidence that we met him. One day whilst Loona and I was out we was recognized and then surrounded by paparazzi. Loona and I were cornered and we couldn't leave and then all of a sudden everyone ran away and it was because they were scared of John Lennon! who showed up out of nowhere and saved us from them. Then from there we began talking to each other and he said that he was interested in me after he saw me go viral on the internet and then after that we became friends. Then a few days ago you might have saw that we collaborated on the internet and then that riot that happened afterwards. Loona and I escaped unharmed and after that happened I wanted nothing to do with that or at least cause something like that again" 

Octavia nodded understandingly and Loona placed a paw on my shoulder and smiled and I said to Octavia "So Princes where to now?" Octavia replied "We can go back home now". After half an hour of driving we arrived back at the golden gates of the Palace and then the intercom came on again and asked "Who is this and what may I help you with?" Octavia said to us "I got this" and leant out of the window and said "It's Octavia can you open the gate for me please?" The intercom enthusiastically replied back "Ah lady Octavia why of course, welcome home" and then the gates opened and we drove up to the front door again and then all three of us got out and headed inside. We were greeted by Prince Stolas who had changed out of the sport jersey and shorts into his royal getup wearing his royal robes and his crown "Ah welcome back Octavia how was your day out?" Octavia replied back "It was fun, I got the book I wanted and I learnt a lot about Carter and Loona". Stolas clapped rapidly with glee and said "Wonderful well I'm glad you had fun, now run along now dear I have business to discuss with Carter and Loona" Octavia nodded and ran supposedly her room and then Stolas began to think "I wish to thank you both for making my Octavia happy, so as an extra reward I am going to double what I had already promised...in unmarked cash of course" and he handed us a thick brown envelope filled with cash and both Loona and I's jaws dropped and Loona said "Woah that's a lot of money" Stolas chuckled and said "No need to thank me, I am simply returning the favor for making my Octavia happy, I bid you two farewell and give Blitzy my regards".
