The moon was still high in the sky as the three made their way back towards the mansion but stopped when they came in contact with the doors. 

"You have what we need don't you?"

Hazelle happily smiled and held up the bag of holding in her hands. "Yep! This baby should be able to hold up at least a thousand crowns so it'll definitely be useful with this."

Snatcher nodded. "Right. And you know the other part of the plan right?"

"You'll get Vanessa to chase you back through the tunnel to the summer house." Moonjumper held up as t least three exploding apples in his hands. "Once you both are deep enough we'll seal off the tunnel using these for good. That'll keep Vanessa from ever coming back again."

"But first we have to get those pecking crowns." Snatcher grumbled before motioning the two of them to follow him back to the window that they crept into the first time. "C'mon. The sooner we get this done the better."

Hazelle nodded but stopped feeling a hand grab onto her forearm and Moonjumper looked at her. "Hazelle..This is going to be very dangerous. A-And you've already been hurt so much. I-..." His look became more worried. "I don't want you to get hurt again. If you want to stay behind then I think that'll be best-"

"Moony, I'm fine." She assured him and pulled away . "I'll be careful now and I want to get back at Vanessa too for what she did to me."

"If you two lovebirds are finished wooing one another, then we should get going." Snatcher frowned at them Waiting impatiently.

Moonjumper stuttered but Hazelle only smiled and followed him with Moonjumper behind her. Together they rose up to the broken window again (with Hazelle getting a hand from Snatcher) and peered inside. It was dead silent. Snatcher slunk in first popping his head through a few walls and the open doorways in this particular hallway before looking back and motioning that it was safe for them to come in. They did and together they made their way into the old bedroom that held all the glittering crowns.

"Alright. Let's start grabbing them already!," Snatcher hissed already reaching for the ones on the chandelier and plucking them off. "The faster we get these the sooner Poppy's safe."

Good thing the florist hadn't insisted on coming with them. It was safer for her to remain back and keep an eye on the kids with Shapeshifter so nothing bad happened to them. Crown after crown the three grabbed from the various places lying around before throwing them into the open bag Hazelle held with Snatcher poking his head out to make sure the coast was clear every so often. They left no stone or piece of furniture unturned and soon the last crown was thrown inside and the bag tied shut.
