Grim: *Pant* *Pant* "...Well?"

Y/n glares at Crowley.

Crowley: "Incredible... I've never seen anyone bend a monster to their will quite the way you have. I must confess, my educator's intuition did sense something about you after the brouhaha at orientation, Y/n. I could tell you had a certain animal trainer-y, beast master-ish quality to you. Oh, yes. That said, I..." *mumble mumble*

Y/n: "Grim want's to go to your school."

Crowley: "WHAT? A monster, stay HERE?"

Grim: "Whoa, did you just...?"

Y/n: "What if there are more ghosts? I don't feel like dealing with them trying to kill me. I'm treating this as a vacation from possessed animatronics trying to kill everyone."

Crowley: "Hmmm... I suppose I cannot deny your plea. Very well."

Y/n: "Good." 

Grim: "Myah?! Really?"

Crowley: "Let me be clear! Under no circumstances would I admit anyone to Night Raven College who has not been selected by the Dark Mirror - especially not a monster! Nor do I intend to allow you, Y/n, to freeload until you're able to return home."

Y/n: "Why can't I just sell these animatronic wood puppets?"

Grim: "Hrmph. Never shoulda got my hopes up..."

Crowley: "Now, allow me to explain. It was the Dark Mirror that transported you here. Therefore this school does bear some responsibility for your well-being. So I will allow you to remain in this dorm, free of charge. However, you will need to pay for your own food, clothing, and incidentals. As to how you will do so, penniless as you are... Ah. Ah ha. Yes, a fine plan."

Y/n: "Can't I sell my inventions?"

Crowley: "You needn't seem so alarmed. I'm simply going to ask you to do a few odd jobs around campus. From what you've done here, Y/n, I can tell you know your way around a broom. So what do you say to you two working together as a janitorial team? If you agree to that, I will make a special exception and allow you to remain on campus.  I'll also allow you use of the library, so that you may study, and research ways to return home. How soundlessly charitable I am. Ah, but only when your work is over, of course!"

Grim: "Whaaat? What kinda deal is that?! I wanna put on one of those sweet uniforms and be a student, not sweep up people's junk!"

Crowley: "If you're not satisfied with my offer, I can arrange to have you thrown out again."

Grim: "Myah?! ... All right, fine! Let's do it."

Y/n: "What choice do I have?"

Crowley: "Wonderful. Then I beseech you both... To work hard as the newest members of the Night Raven College's janitorial staff!"

~After Crowley Left~

Y/n opens her phone and calls someone.

???: Y/n! Dove! Where are you?!

Y/n: Hey, Mikey, is Henry with you?

Michael: Yeah!

~Off Phone~

Michael: "Henry! Henry! Y/n's on the phone!"

Henry puts the phone on speaker.

~On Phone~

Henry: Y/n. Where were you taken? Michael and I have been searching for you everywhere.

Y/n: I'm in another universe.

Henry: I'm assuming Fetch is with you since you can still call and text.

Y/n: Yeah. I'm safe and looking for a way to come back home.

Michael: "Please stay safe, dove."

Y/n: I will Eggs.

Michael: Really?

Henry: Eggs?

Y/n: I've gotta go. I need to clean the school tomorrow, love you two!

Michael & Henry: Love you dove/Y/n.
