C.C. POV:
***Ramshakle Dorm***
Yuu: “Uh, you want me to stay... here?”

'This place looks like the pizzeria. Abandoned. Broken. Cold.'

Crowley: “Isn't it delightful? Right, scoot inside now. There you go.”

***Ramshackle Dorm - Lounge***
Crowley: “This should keep the elements at bay for the time being. Now, I should return to my research. Do try to find some way to busy yourself. But don't let me catch you wandering the campus! Ta!”

Crowley leaves, leaving me and Yuu in this dusty and broken place.

Yuu: “Looks like it's started to rain.”

Grim: “GWAH! It's pouring out there!”

'Kitty! He’s back! Maybe he’ll let me pet him!'

Yuu: “Wah!”

Grim: “Bwahaha! That look on your face is priceless! Like a bat that got blasted by a water gun. As if I wouldn't just sneak back onto campus the second I escaped pryin' eyes. You all got no idea what I'm capable of! I ain't givin' up on goin' here just 'cause I got kicked out one measly ol' time. And if you think otherwise, you don't know Grim!”

Yuu: “Why are you so determined to go to this school?”

Grim: “Isn't it obvious?”

I zone out, staring at his fluffy fur. 'I wanna pet him.' Then I snap back into reality when Yuu places a hand on my shoulder. I back away a bit before relaxing into his touch.

Grim: “Mrrao! C'mon, scoot over! I'm getting dripped on here! Bwah! Another hole in the roof! These flamin' ears are like my trademark, y'know? I can't let 'em get doused!”

Yuu: “Good luck. The ceiling's riddled with holes.”

Grim: “I dunno why you don't just magic those holes away. You could have it fixed in half a jiff. Ahhh, right. You can't use magic at all. Pffft, man you're useless.”

'Kitty is being mean! Yuu isn’t useless!' I walk over and hug Yuu’s leg.

Yuu: “Then why don't you do it?!”

Grim: “Heh? You want ME to help YOU? Ha! You got the wrong idea. I'm just a stranger takin' shelter from the rain. You ain't the boss of me. If ya had some cans of tuna to trade, well, that'd be another story. But I don't work for free.”

'Then don’t come here! If you're a stranger not willing to work then you leave! But I wanna pet him…' I pout and hold Fredbear close, waiting for Yuu’s next move.

Yuu: “Yikes, the leaks are really getting bad.”

***Ramshackle Dorm - Hallway***
Yuu: “I think I just heard something?!

White 3 ghosts appear. 'They look cool! I’ve never seen Ghosts like them before!'

???: “Yee hee hee... Bwa ha ha ha ha ha. We haven't had visitors in ages! Oh, I'm just itchin' for new friends! Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha!”

Yuu: “Bwaaaaaaahhhhhh!”

Grim: “Hey, keep it down over- AAAAAH! GHOSTS! GHOOOOOOSTS!”

Ghost B: “All the people who used ta live here got scared of us and ran away.”

'Aww, poor Ghosts, people are too scared to play with them!'

Ghost C: “We just want a new ghost to play with! What do you say, buddy?”

Yuu: “Help me!”

Grim: “*Shiver* Eeeeep! I'm a master sorcerer! I ain't afraid of any dumb ghosts! Myahaaa!”

Grim starts blowing fire everywhere, trying to hit the ghosts with his eyes closed.

Ghost A: “Nuh-uh. Not even close.”

Ghost C: “Over here! Over here! Ah ha ha ha!”

Grim: “Argh! They keep disappearing and reappearing!”

Yuu: “You're gonna set the whole dorm ablaze!”

Grim: “Shaddup! I don't need any lip from you, human!”

Yuu: “Beat them, and I've got a can of tuna with your name on it!”

Grim: “Myah...?! Hmph... I'm Grim, Master Sorcerer! How come I can't even hit one of these little-”

The Ghosts: “Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha!”

Grim: “Hrmph! Ganging up on us... Yer a buncha cowards!”

Yuu: “M-maybe I can help?”

Grim: “Myaaaah… You, human! You tell me which way the ghosts are!”

Yuu: “To your left!”

Ghost A: “Aaaaah! It buuuurns!”

Grim: “Ha, got one! Keep it up, just like that... And let's clear out the whole lot of 'em!”

I sit back and watch, holding Fredbear close. 'Those poor Ghosts, they only wanted to play! I guess Yuu and Kitty don’t understand that.'
