"whatcha see?" Charles immediately asked when Frances and Edwin walked back in the room, he wanted to know so badly. "Nothing" Frances said while she looked at Edwin, who was staring at the back of her head "You expect me to believe that?" Charles sat on the bed that Crystal just made a few seconds ago "Yeah, because I saw nothing" Crystal scoffed "Now that's a lie. You were blushing, hard. If its some porn shit then tell us" Frances glanced at Edwin before saying "nothing like that" It was sort of true, it wasn't exactly porn but it was something to do with seducing.. although Frances wanted to keep her promise to Edwin.

"I'm going downstairs to clear my head" Crystal said before she left the room and shut the door "You can tell me right, I'm your friend" Charles got up from the soft bed to stand in front of Frances, slightly begging her to tell him the vision she saw "Sorry Charls but I'm not telling you" Frances smiled, hoping her sweet smile will distract Charles from asking about the vision "You gave me a nickname" His lips turned up in a smile "You like it?" She asked the boy, he chuckled "Love it" They both smiled at each other, Charles cheeks turned into a bright pink shade, making Edwin clear his throat "not to interrupt anything but we have more important things than flirting."  Frances rolled her brown eyes when she turned around towards Edwin's direction "No need to get jealous" Edwin chuckled "Me, Jealous? Now why would I be jealous." He asked the girl "because I'm talking with your only mate"

"MAIL CALL!" A unfamiliar man shouted from behind, making everyone jump up "okay, you need to stop sneaking up on us... but mail!" Charles spoke to the older man with the large mustache "he's a ghost, right?" Charles nod his head "our mail ghost" Edwin spoke up "You don't have to bring the agency's mail here. We're not staying long" Frances shook her head "he's lying. He is stuck here" Frances informed the older ghost, it made Edwin get mad at her.

"Mail gets forwarded to wherever you are." The man threw the stack of mail before walking through the wall "I didn't know ghosts have mail" Frances spoke while she walked over to the bed where all the mail were "Its usually about new cases or advertising." Charles picked up a small white paper that had 'Tragic Micks. Magic tricks and items' printed in the front with bold letters "Ghosts have magic shops?" Frances questioned when she read the letters "Of course we do." Charles looked at his mate "Let's get the bracelet looked by a professional." 

TIME SKIP >:)

Frances walked around the magic shop, on the shelves were weird items that she never seen before "this place Is weird." Frances commented on the creepy store, she grabbed a weird glass looking object that had a weird face printed on it, it looked similar to a baby doll. "This place is aces" Charles disagreed with the brunette "We must have different eyesight." Frances found Charles looking at a glass jar with a bear figure inside "Or its because I've been dead forever and seen some crazy things."

"That's not coming off." Tragic Mick said after he finished analyzing the bracelet on Edwin's wrist that the cat king gave him "With shelves full of magical trinkets and not one of them will work?" Edwin was desperate  to take the golden bracelet off, it would've already been done if he just agreed to make the king and queen happy.

"Ayup. That there is one of them spells that can only be undone by the caster." Tragic Mick explained to the boy "well no luck here. So that bracelet is staying on" Frances nod her head in disappointment "if only you agree to their first option." Edwin gave her a look, telling her to shut up "What was the first option?" Charles asked the girl "It was nothing." Edwin answered the question instead of Frances "it seems like a big deal" Charles added on to the topic "Edwin's right, it was nothing but lets just say the bracelet would've been off already." "Why didn't you choose it then, Edwin?"

Edwin scoffed "that is not your business." He looked down at his wrist "This is such a mess" The walrus man started to speak "A real mess is one day finding out that your life's been taken away. I was once a mighty walrus, free in the ocean, a proud king of the deep blue. It all started one night-" Tragic begin to tell the story on how he became a human but Edwin butted in "We are in a bit of a time crunch." He rudely interrupted "No, what he means is that... uh.. there must be something else that can help us." Charles tried to make the situation better after Edwin's bitterness. 

Tragic Mick moved his chair closely to bring out a glass jar with a lighthouse inside "What is that?" Frances questioned the man "A jar with a lighthouse. It makes a great paperweight plus its enchanted to make ocean sounds." Charles put his hands around the clear jar and shook it, loud and clear ocean sounds were heard, making him smile "That's pretty cool" Frances took it from Charles hand and shook it harshly "Now don't break it." Tragic Mick looked up at the girl "Thanks for the gift" Tragic Mick nod his head slowly "Oh for goodness sake. You two are ridiculous" Edwin stormed off
