You walk through Main Street as you continue to tour the different sites. You spot Leona and Ruggie by the status of The Seven.

"Oh, hey guys!" You wave and hurry over to them.

Ruggie glances over and grins when he sees you. "Hey, it's Y/N!"

"Well, if it isn't the little herbivore." Leona tilts his head with a slight smile. "Having a little stroll, are we?"

You shrug. "Guess you could that. I've been practicing with the ghost camera and taking pictures of the venues."

"Nice." Ruggie smiles. "Having fun?"

You nod excitedly. "Yup! I've had so much fun taking pictures. I feel like I'm getting better at it." You sheepishly laugh. "Vil even said I could be his photographer sometimes."

Leona's ears flick. "Wait, what do you mean by that?"

"Oh, I took a picture of Vil when I was in the Mirror Chamber." You hold your arm. "He seemed to like the picture, so I let him have it."

Leona's tail swishes angrily. "I see..."

Ruggie snickers at Leona. "Is someone jealous?"

Leona lets out a low growl. "Shut it, Ruggie."

"So where are you guys headed to?" You ask.

"We're going to the Mystery Shop to get some drinks for the dorm." Ruggie answers. "Thought we could use em' since we've all worked so hard."

"That's kind of you guys. Would you like help carrying them?" You offer.

Leona chuckles. "Never offer help to a hyena if you don't mean it."

"Yup! Cause there's no way gettin out of it." Ruggie cackles as he slings an arm around you. "Now you're stuck with us!"

You laugh. "If you say so."

You walk with the two boys to the Mystery Shop. Upon arriving, you see a large crowd gathered around the building.

Ruggie flicks an ear. "What in the world...?"

"Have you hit all seven stamp tour spots?"

"I haven't started yet! I wanted to visit the Mystery Shop first."

"You're missing out if you don't grab a souvenir from this place!"

Leona glowers at the crowd. "What's with all the hubbub?"

"There's a whole crowd around the school store." Ruggie observes. "None of 'em are wearing uniforms. Guessing they're all Halloween Week visitors? Still, a gaggle this big SCREAMS fire hazard."

"Ah, it's Leona and Ruggie!" Kalim runs over, smiling when he sees you. "And Y/N! Happy Halloween, guys!"

"Right back atcha, Kalim." Ruggie grins.

Leona places a hand to his hip. "Oh, right, the school store is Scarabia's stamp tour spot."

"Yup!" Kalim smiles brightly. "I'm on the afternoon shift, so I'm just about to switch places with the morning stamper. Are you here to shop together? What good friends you are!"

Leona scoffs. "Yeah, no."

Ruggie sheepishly chuckles. "Harsh, but true. Usually, I'm the one who gets stuck running Leona's errands. But today, we figured we might as well pick up some refreshments for the Savanaclaw guys working their tails off for Halloween Week. So quoth the magnanimous Leona!"

Leona doesn't say anything.

Ruggie clears his throat. "Anyway, he tried to pawn the whole thing off on me, so I dragged him along."
