Meanwhile in the Botanical Garden...

Leona is all alone.

He says to himself, "Well, the hole's gone now, and everything's back to normal... it's strangely peaceful, even. Epel just took off for Pomefiore as soon as the light faded. Guess I'll check up on my dorm too. I just hope nothing funny's goin' on."

Sometime later...

Epel arrives in the Headmage office with something in his arms.

Epel walks in and says, "Excuse me, Headmage! Do you have a moment? This strange creature fell out of the sky and..."

And in his arms is a little creature that looks like himself.

Crowley notices Epel and says, "Ah, Felmier. You found one too, hm? You're the sixth student to come to my office with one of these "strange creatures."

"Really?" Epel asks.

Soon, it's revealed that Cater, Floyd, and Epel aren't the only ones with the strange creatures, Jack, Sebek, and even Sereia have come to the office with one of the mysterious creatures as well. All those who have the strange creature are in the office right now.

Cater says, "Heya, Eppy! I got here just before you did. And I brought along this little guy," And presents the little creature who is playing with the others.

Then Crowley explains, "Felmier, I presume you saw the strange light above Ramshackle Dorm? And then you snagged one of these little creatures that fell from the sky, as the others did. What baffles me is how they could pass through the school's barrier so easily."

"I don't get why it's got the same highlight in its hair as me. Same eye colors too," Floyd says as he watches his look alike jumping around.

Crowley thinks for a minute, "Hmmm... " And says, You know, upon closer inspection, I can see it's a carbon copy of you, Floyd Leech. The other ones also bear a striking resemblance to each of you," as he watches the creatures play around together."

Jack sighs, "Sheesh... What've I gotten dragged into now?"

"They look like plushies, but they can move around and do things. Just what ARE they?" Epel says.

"I wonder about it myself. I also wonder what that strange light that shone over the Ramshackle Dorm. When I came out to check it out, this little creature that looked like me fell out of the sky," Sereia explains.

Then looks down to see the little strange creature that looks like her is standing near her, watching the other creatures play.

"My liege said they weren't ensorcelled in any way," Sebek answers.

Then Floyd begins to question, "They came out of a hole in the sky, right? Well, where's it connected to?

"I haven't the foggiest idea what they are or where they come from. However... We have a more pressing matter to attend to!" Crowley says, sounding serious.

"We do?" Cater says, confused.

"What's that?" Jack asks.

"Why..." Crowley says with a moment of silence.

Then says, "Naming them, of course. We have to call them SOMETHING!"

Everyone is dumbfounded, "Huh?"

Then Crowley explains, "We have encountered heretofore unseen creatures. Since we discovered them, it falls to us to name them. That would be the kind thing to do, after all."

Sebek is not amused, "Ridiculous. They're not pets. There's no call to stand around debating names!"

"I would argue it's FAR from ridiculous. Every creature needs a name—" Crowley explains, but suddenly cries out, "AH! Hey!"
