We start in Craig's secret hideout where we see Kelsey reading a book

Kelsey: whoa, okay! I read it!

Craig: she read it!

JP: alright

Both JP and Xander proceed to pull her out before she jumps to the ground

Kelsey: let us run fast

Xander: right!

They soon start to run through the creek before finally stopping

Craig: there it is...the library

Kelsey: we made it with three days to spare

Craig: three days?

JP: wait. Why did we run so fast if the book ain't due yet?

Kelsey: because I need to know what happens next to ythirth of scriggth the dragonmancer! I've read 16 books and there's only one more to go. Will he be able to save the realm of Scriggth? Will he find his mother who abandoned him in the nest of a dragon? [whispers] will there ever be characters named Kelsey and Xander?

She then proceeds to put the book into the return slot before they enter the library to the young adult section

Kelsey: where is it?! It has to be here!

Xander: Kelsey what's wrong?

Kelsey: the final book it's not here.

Xander: why don't we ask the librarian? [looks at the others] you guys coming?

As he looks he sees Craig and JP reading

Xander: [sighs] we lost them [looks at Kelsey] let's go ask

Librarian: the books been checked out

Kelsey: yeah, we know Harold. When's it supposed to be returned?

Harold: it should have been back two weeks ago. I'm afraid it's...overdue!

Kelsey: [angry] I demand to know who checked it out!

Harold: sorry, that would be a violation of librarian reader confidentiality

Kelsey slowly starts to take her sword out but Xander puts his hand on her shoulder

Xander: he's not worth it

They both turn and start to walk away but Xander stops

Xander: by the way, Harold, your mom wants her rent for staying in her basement

We now see both Xander and Kelsey outside

Kelsey: I need to know what happens!

Xander: if only we knew someone who could help?

Kelsey: [gasp] I know just the person

They both walk down some isles of books until they reach an opening in one of the shelves

Kelsey: stacks

Suddenly a girl pops up with a head light flashing both Kelsey and Xander
