"I'm going back to hang out with Crimson!" I smile.

"Knew it. Go ahead, I won't stop you." Luke grins and shrugs at my answer, fading away once more.

I walk south towards a little river with a boat floating on top. I wave at the hooded figure.

"Tra la la. I am the river man. Or am I the river woman? It doesn't really matter."
I swear I've heard their voice before somewhere...

"I love to ride on my boat. Would you care to join me?" I nod, and climb onto the boat carefully.

"I want to go to Waterfall please!"
"Then we're off..." The boat sets off.

We stay silent and watch the water carelessly passing by.

"Tra la la. Beware of the fellow who speaks in arrows."

"What?"

We arrive at Waterfall before I can get a reply.

"Come again sometime. Tra la la."

Still bewildered, I continue on towards the demon house. Castellar is standing outside, presumably expecting my arrival.

"OH-HO! GREETINGS HUMAN! ARE YOU READY TO HAVE A FUN TIME? BECAUSE I SURE AM!"

"Go inside Crimson's house?" Luke awaits my response.

"Heck yeah!" I reply to Castellar enthusiastically.

"OKAY! JUST FOLLOW MY LEAD!"
She knocks loudly. The door opens to reveal Crimson, now wearing a light green t-shirt and jeans supported by a brown belt. The t-shirt has, ironically, a peace sign sewn into it.

"Hi Castellar! Are you ready for our extra-private, one-on-one training?" Crimson asks politely. Kinda funny seeing how she wanted to kill me a few minutes ago.

"YOU BET I AM! AND I BROUGHT A FRIEND TOO!"

Castellar moves to the side to reveal me to Crimson. I grin.

"Hi, I don't think we've..."

She realises who I am, probably noticing my signature purple hoodie.

Gritting her teeth, she growls "Why don't. You two. Come in?"

All three of us walk inside and I gasp at the surroundings.

The house decoration is so cool!

A small cooking area spans across one wall, and a little table and piano are dotted around the floor.

Castellar interrupts my thoughts. "WOOPSY DAISY! I JUST REMEMBERED! I NEED TO GO TO THE BATHROOM!" With that, she literally jumps through the window, making glass shards spread across the floor.

"Is...she hurt?" I comment aloud.

"Probably not. She usually nails the landing."

We both give a synchronised chuckle, and then Crimson stops, realising she talked to me.

She becomes silent, before finally spitefully saying "So why are YOU here?"

"To rub your victory in my face?"

I shake my head.

"Then what is it?

....Wait, I know.

You wanna be friends, don't you?"

I grin and give a thumbs up.

"Really? I accept! Lets' all frolic in the fields of friendship!"
