Party Crashers.

No One POV:

While the fake Professor Alimbick was about to land in Klow, our heroes were on their way there too.

Malory could still not digest who the car they took a lift with belonged too.

"Ah, Malory! You are a big fan of my singing, no? You and Tintin must be at my show tonight." Bianca Castafiore, yes, that one, smiled at the girl who was still gaping at her slightly.

It's not that Malory was a fan of her as much as Madam Jackline or her mother, she just couldn't believe how something the two women would kill for fell into her lap by coincidence.

And it was so shocking that she couldn't make her mouth start forming words to reply so it was Tintin who answered:

"Actually Madame, Malory and I've got important business in Klow." He told her with so much seriousness that it made the caring woman concerned.

"Oh dear..." She mumbled and Tintin took it as a sign of her being upset with him.

"I-I mean! We'd have loved to hear you sing but..." He hurried to explain nervously which made her laugh.

"It is okay, Darling. I understand. I sing for you now instead." And that made even Tintin shocked. By that point Malory's mouth gaped a little more. Sitting with the Milanese Nightingale AND getting a private concert from her? By that point her mother and Madam Jackline would've gone on mass killing.

Though, maybe they'd regret it once realizing that being that close to an opera singer as she's singing is not as fantastic as they'd imagine.

"I love to see how lovely I look in this mirror~!" Bianca sang and her pianist, who sat by her other side didn't seem so happy with the situation either.

"Oh, I love to see how lovely I look in this mirror...~" Tintin and Malory switched looks, realizing they don't have much of a choice and so Malory hurried to cover Snowy's ears so he wouldn't start whining like last time.

"Was I ever, Marguerite? Is it I? Is it I? Come reply!!~" Professor Alimbick by that point was out of the plane and entered a waiting car.

"Mirror, mirror, tell me truly MIIIIIIIIIIIIIROR!~" It was raining when they reached Klow and just when they thought it's not going to end, Bianca finished singing. Malory, who overcame her shock by that point, clapped softly to show her gratitude for Castafiore's good intentions to entertain them.

"The palace is just down the street, My Dears! You want me to drop you there?" She suddenly asked but at that point the duo felt uncomfortable exploiting her.

"It's okay, Madame! This is great, thanks!" Tintin said as he tapped the driver's shoulder to sign him they'll get off now.

He stopped at a corner of a street and went out into the rain.

"Thanks again!" Malory said before closing the door behind her and the car took off before the two hurried to find a shelter from the rain, raising the collars of their raincoats to use as a somewhat protection.

"Let's just wait here until this rain stops, okay?" Tintin instructed, unaware they ended up in Klow's museum entrance.

While waiting, someone exited the building, gaining Snowy's attention and the dog entered just before the door closed behind him.

The rain slowly came to a stop and Tintin held out his hand to see if it was good enough for them to leave, still unaware of what was happening meanwhile.

Snowy looked around and then came across a room that made him stop in shock.

Bones. There were huge bone figurines everywhere in there...
