Aurora opens her locker, grabbing her backpack. It was finally time to go home. "I can't figure her out. I mean she seems cool, but why is she so down on Walgrove? This is an awesome town." Marshall asks.

Aurora gets that funny feeling again. Why did he care so much about a girl he just met? She hated the knowing that there was a possibility he had a crush on her.

Marshall has had crushes before, but Amy was her friend. She didn't want to suffer seeing one of her friends and her crush together.

"Thanks. I'd love to. Hi. For your future reference you two need to work on your 'quiet voices.'" Amy walks off.

"She's right. You guys are loud." Aurora follows behind her, and the boys follow behind Aurora.

"So.. how did you know what an esophagus was?" Marshall asks Amy. "Sarcophagus." Amy and Aurora correct in unison.

"Like i said, I'm gonna be an investigative reporter. I kinda know a little about a lot of things." Amy continues.

"You ought to investigate our neighbor." Gilbert says. "Why? What's so special about him?" She asks him. "Go ahead guys. Tell her what we saw last night." Gilbert continues.

Aurora vividly remembers Gilbert telling them about their neighbors creepy delivery. "How weird and how giant?" Amy asks them.

"Really giant, pretty weird." Aurora answers. "And you're sure it was body-shaped? Marshall you saw it too, right?" Amy asks him.

She wishes the feeling would go away, but it happens every time they talk to each other. She knew she shouldn't get jealous, but she couldn't help it.

"Anthropoid coffin." Amy says, as if she figured something out. "Anthro what now?" Marshall asks. "It's a coffin shaped like the person inside. Like at the museum." Aurora informs.

"Which means?" Gilbert questions. "Which means, I think you found the stolen mummy, and I found my story. And you're gonna take me there. Let's go!"

Aurora follows behind Amy, not even questioning her. She may have only known her for a few hours, but she already trusted Amy with her life.

She was the type of person who could tell your intentions immediately, and she could tell Amy had no bad intentions.

They stopped in front of Kubot's house. "This place has crime scene written all over it." Amy comments.

While Aurora nods along, Marshall seems to disagree. "I don't think beheading a lawn gnome counts as a crime."

"We need to get a look at.. whatever you saw." Amy says. "No way! Kubot is scary enough from a distance." Gilbert responds.

"Yeah. Just because it looked like an anthropod-" Marshall gets cut off. "Anthropoid." Amy and Aurora say in unison.

"Whatever. Doesn't mean he stole the mummy." Marshall responds. "Come on. You guys scared?" Amy questions.
