Clara and Newt spent the rest of the night in the case, exploring and messing around. The two were back to their old ways, and Newt had challenged Clara to a game of chess which Clara won.

Clara wished it could stay like this forever. Just her and Newt messing around. At school it was always Clara and Newt, Newt and Clara. No one ever saw one without the other.

Finally when they did come out of the case, She, Newt and Jacob all left Tina and Queenie's apartment. They ran to catch a creature that had gotten loose, but on the way they saw the Niffler in a gold shop. Newt was the first to notice. He stopped and looked into the shop's window. Clara turned to look as well, only to see the Niffler standing there with gold necklaces on it's arm and reaching for another piece of jewelry.

Newt whipped out his wand and said a spell which broke all the glass. He then jumped in and chased he Niffler down. The creature scrambled up cases, Newt following it. Clara ran into the shop to help out.

The two chased the creature around, nocking over almost everything in the shop. Jacob stood there, watching them run and break things, with his mouth wide open as he looked up and down the street to see if anyone would notice.

Newt and Clara ran after the Niffler, the Niffler squeaking loudly. The two finally caught the animal, and they jumped out of the shop. Newt started to shake the Niffler to get all the gold out.

"Bad Niffler! I told you not to steal the gold!" Newt said, shaking the Niffler, and more pieces fell out. Clara groaned as the No-Maj police came.

"Newt!" Clara shouted as the sirens wailed. The police stepped out of their cars and pointed their guns at Newt, Clara and Jacob.

"Freeze!" One shouted. Clara quickly pulled out her wand and took Newt and Jacob's hand. She then apparated away to a frozen lake.

"That was close!" Newt said, pushing the Niffler back into the case again.

"Yeah, of course we were found in the worst possible spot ever." Clara said. Jacob nodded in agreement. An ostrich ran by the three.

"Weird." Clara said, drawing her wand. Newt looked down the road to see a zoo.

"Come on, it might be that way." He said. Newt grabbed a helmet and chestplate, handing it to Jacob.

"You might want to put this on." Newt said.

"What? Why?" Jacob asked.

"You'll see." Newt replied.

"Oh, we're going after him." Clara said. Newt nodded.

"What about Clara?" Jacob asked.

"Clara's fine, she can handle herself." Newt said. He then picked up his case and ran to the zoo, Clara and Jacob followed.

They reached the zoo to see a hippo like thing with a huge horn on it's head, cornering a smaller normal hippo.

"It's trying to mate." Newt informed them. Then he sprang into action, trying to get the animal's attention. Newt ran around the open field, doing weird poses and making the animal's noise. The animal turned to look at Newt.

Newt continued to do it, and Clara couldn't help but mentally faceplam. Jacob glanced worryingly at Clara, she shushed him, as she didn't want the creature to notice them. Newt kept doing it, until the creature realized what he was doing. It charged at Newt, who turned and ran down to the icy lake.

"Come on Jacob!" Clara shouted, running after Newt. Jacob groaned and ran after Clara and Newt. The trio finally caught the creature, which Clara was thankful for.

"That was a mess. How many left to catch?" She asked.

"I think just one." Newt said.

"Which one?" Clara asked.

"The Invisible one." Newt said.

"Oh great." Jacob muttered.

The Niffler scene was amazing, and really funny to me. Another question for you all since I haven't seen the movie in a week, how do they join up with Tina and Queeine and then get brought to the MACUSA? Thanks to those who help!
