The sun shone up from the window blinding the object in the bed..It was Balloon. But Balloon kept sleeping, peacefully dreaming. After Balloon was finally welcomed back into the hotel everything was so peaceful and he was never as hated. As Balloon continued his restful sleep and loud sound could be heard, It was someone rushing into his room. "BALLOON! BALLOON!" It was his least favourite person turned into a close friend- Nickel. Balloon yawns as he attempts to sit up, But not before Nickel shoves pieces of Paper into his face "Let me guess, It's about Clover isn't it?" Nickel sighs and then nods "Who else? She's been missing for nearly two weeks now and I guess I just-" Nickel went silent as he faced the ground, Obviously upset about her disappearance. Balloon rubs Nickels back in a comforting way "There's no need to worry Nickel, Remember she's literally Miss Lucky-Luck, When Clover wants to return then her luck will guide her here." Balloon stops rubbing Nickels back and pulls out a small piece of paper "In the meantime do you want to head over to Cabby's Library? She wrote down the book you need on this paper for me" Nickel nods and checks the paper, Just in case it's not the book he needed "The one about.. That lucky scar right?" Balloon nods confirming his words. Nickel looks at the scar on his ankle, It's the shape of a Clover and it's been there ever since Clover gave him some of her luck. Even after he died it was still there and sometimes it would cause him to feel extreme burning and would glow a shade of green. "Cabby said that book will tell us about types of scars and what they do to your body. Maybe it'll have something on that?" Balloon questions but Nickel only sighs "Clover gave me that Scar..or mark, Whatever its called, She is probably the only one to get rid of it but of course she isn't even here!" Balloon nods and he watches Nickel get all frustrated "We will find her and we will get rid of that..mark.. Ok?" Nickel nods as Balloon hugs him for a second until Nickel chuckles "Ok Ok, No need to go all emotional on me. I can handle myself" Balloon rolls his eyes jokingly and murmurs something under his breath "Sure looks like it" Nickel overheard and the both laughed it off "Don't get too comfortable Balloon, We still have loads of searching to do."
The two step out of Balloon's room, making their way toward the Static. This portal connects the Hotel to the island where Cabby's Library is situated. Just before they enter, a weary Test Tube rushes up to them, looking like she hasn't slept in ages. "GUYS! NICKEL! BALLOON!" she exclaims. "I was out for a peaceful stroll with Fan yesterday when we ran into Trophy!" She starts to elaborate, but Nickel interrupts, "AH TROPHY! So terrifying," he says with a hint of sarcasm, while Balloon nudges him to be quiet. "Sorry, Testy, but we're a bit tied up right now," Nickel replies, moving toward the Static. "WAIT!" she calls after them. "Okay, I'll get straight to the point! It's about Clover." Those words make Nickel whip his head back around. "You know where she is?" Test Tube hesitates, making an uncertain sound before continuing, "Not exactly. When I ran into Trophy, I noticed he had some photos scattered around, and I saw a few of Clover!" She takes a deep breath, clearly eager to spill everything at lightning speed. "So, I asked him why he had those photos, and he said it was because she asked him to take some 'Aesthetic' shots of her. After that, I inquired about where he took those photos, but he wouldn't tell me. So, I... politely asked him, and he showed me." Everyone knew that when Test Tube said "politely asked," it likely involved one of her gadgets being pointed at him. But Nickel didn't mind. "I didn't have time to search the entire area, but I can show you where the garden is," she added. Balloon smiled gratefully at Test Tube. "Thank you so much, Testy. We'll check it out... right after we visit Cabby's library." Test Tube nodded and was about to leave until Nickel just had to ask her something "Say.. Test Tube you look tired? You stayed up all night investigating Clover's disappearance or what?" Test Tube only chuckles "Silly Nickel.. I can't tell you THAT much.." Test Tube smiles at the two and hops away leaving the two a little freaked out
The Static opened up, its sound was so easy to be drawn into.. like a moth to a flame. The slight cold breeze came from it as two others walked out of the Static, They had come from The island "Cabby! Are you sure they are going to arrive next week? Yang! Just be patient, shipping books takes a pretty long time" Nickel looked up to see Cabby jotting something down while making conversation with Yin-Yang "Trust me Yin-Yang, All of those 57 books about Hatsune Miku will arrive next week, I'm sure they will come in top quality because you know I ordered some in hardcover!" Cabby laughed like it was a Joke but Yin-Yang sat there a little confused, Clearly Cabby's jokes were in fact not as funny as she thinks. Balloon waves to Cabby and She waves back "OH! Hiya Balloon.. Say are you and Nickel heading to my Library now?" They both nod in unison "Say Cabby.. If you're here then who's running the library?" Both Cabby and Yin-Yang chuckle a bit "What's so funny?" Nickel ponders looking annoyed at the two "OH nothing.. HAHAHA! It's clear you haven't checked out her library in ages, Nickel!" It was true.. Nickel does not enjoy reading as much as everyone else who rooms within the hotel. "Well.. Nickel, I do own the library but others do assist me with the work that needs to be done. Right now I think working on the shift is.." Cabby ponders for a minute "OH yes! Lightbulb and The Floor" Nickel sighs in dissatisfaction "I mean You hired not only The Floor but Lightbulb? She's kind and all but she's not the brightest" A sudden Knee-Slap was heard in the distance "Whats next you hired Yin-Yang or something?" Yin-Yang stared at Nickel with the most murderous look in their eyes "She did..No need to be so rude about it. YEAH YOU.. LOSER!!" Cabby pushes them away from Nickel before they (mainly Yang) does something that will haunt them for a long time. "If you want to see who I hired, just read the board In the library." Balloon smiles for the both of them because it's clear Nickel is not happy. Cabby waves them a kind farewell and She wheels away alongside Yin-Yang.
