We swim for hours and hours and hours until we find an island to sleep at for the night.

"Rose. I can't swim much farther" Said StarLight

"I see something out there it's just a little farther." I say.

"How much farther?" Asked StarLight

"Like a few miles." I say

StarLight Groans.

"We're almost there! Here, since we're almost there I'll use my power to go faster and I'll grab your wrist okay?"

"But you said you can only use it for five minutes in one day..." Said StarLight.

"I know and I have not done it today. It will take away all my energy but we'll almost be there."

I grab StarLight's wrist and we zoom down the water and we reach the island.

"WE MADE IT!" She yelled in my ear.

"Yes we did. And something tells me we have company." I say looking over at a monkey. The monkey turns around but it has no face (well it does but it has no eyes, nose or mouth it's just blank.)

"STARLIGHT DO YOU SEE THIS?!" I say pointing at the blank-faced monkey.

"What? What is it?" She said looking over at the monkey but doesn't even flinch.

"Don't you see it?!"

"Uh.... What?" She asked.

"The monkey."

"Your imagining things." She said.

"No I'm not its right over there!"

"Listen, it's been a long day and you are probably just seeing things. We should probably just go to bed."

"Fine." I say coldly and lie down onto the sand and close my eyes.
