The water from the fountain splashed in the background, jack never acknowledged it before but the sound of water really was calming.

Jack wished he was calm, maybe the water was helping, maybe it reminded him of his childhood or something.

But alas the siren had to admit he was panicking, quite so in fact.

Fe was gone. Jack was alone in the big city, people were scrambling all around him doing one thing or another, talking loudly.

Jack was just a bit scared, a lot scared. Very scared.

"Felix where are you?" Jack thought to himself, rubbing his hand through his hair

Jack sighed before starting to walk though the ocean of people.

He did have to find Felix eventually.
He'd be safe once he found Felix.

Jack could hear the drum of all the people around him talking to eachother about one thing or another.

He'd find Felix without talking to anyone because he was not going to interact with all these loud ass strangers.

*********

He couldn't find Felix.
He needed help.

Of course he did.
Looking around, jack saw a couple of myths sitting under a tree pretty close.

They were both faun, and they looked nice enough.

He swam towards them.

"Ummm... hi" jack said.

"Hi!" The boy greeted happily.

"I'm mat and this is my girlfriend steph!" The faun continued.

"Hiyah!" Steph smiled.

They seemed nice.

"Watcha need?" Mat asked.

"Oh! Umm have you seen a centaur around? I lost em. His named Felix, brown hair with white blanketing pattern." Jack rambled.

"Haven't seen him but we'll help you look if you want" the boy said, looking towards steph.

"Why did the deer fawn look worried we just met and im not gonna die" jack thought, slightly confused.

"Thanks!" Jack said, a little taken aback by how nice these strangers were being.

"No problem!" Mat smiled.

"You going to the school jack? Haven't seen you around." He asked.

"Nah I'm just visiting." Jack said, looking at the sky.

"Cool! What sanctuary are you from?" Mat asked.

"I'm not.. from any of the cities I'm from the forest that burned down." Jack said, looking towards the ground.

"Woah." Mat said.

"Yeah.." jack mumbled.

"Well I hope you like it here!" Mat laughed.

"Thanks..." jack said, looking at the grass.

"So where did you last see him?" Mat asked.

"Uh.. I was sitting by the fountain when he just wandered off" jack laughed nervously.

"Oh well he's probably at a cafe somewhere or something." Steph said.

Steph looked at her phone for a second and then shot straight up.

"Mat!" She yelped, grabbing his arm.

Mat hummed in question.

"Dude!" She said, shoving her phone in his face.

Mat stared at the phone for a second before looking up at her.

He looked scared? Exited? Maybe both.

"You okay?" Jack asked.

"I got accepted!" Mat said, all but jumping up and down in excitement.

Jack, exited aswell even though he had no idea what they were talking about celebrated with the two faun.

"So what did you do!" Jack laughed.

"I was chosen to be on myths to mellows!"

"Congratulations!!" Jack paused "what's that?" he added.

"Christian Mathews' show!!" May smiled!

"Cool! Who's that!!" Jack asked.

"The guardian turned beloved American actor?" Mat said, as if everyone should know that.

"The man who single handedly created the MFF!" Steph said.

"The what!" Jack asked.

"The myth funding foundation!!" Mat said, seemingly starting to understand jack didn't understand what anything was.

"The charity he created to get mellows to donate to myth!" He explained.

"The man made mellows like us more!" Stephanie said.

"Not all of them hate us!" Mat said happily, Putting emphasis on the all.

"And I'm gonna be on his show!!"'Mat said.

"Cool!! What's it about!" Jack smiled.

"It's a show where he introduces a guest each day! Like a talk show!" Mat explained, jumping from hoof to hoof.

"It's not even anyone cool it's just random students from the sanctuaries!" Stephanie added.

"The mellows just eat it up!" Mat laughed.

"They like think we're really pretty or something!" Steph laughed.

"And I'm gonna be on the show!!" Mat yelled.

"Cool!" Jack said happily.

"Wait." Jack said, confused.

"Why are the mellows doing that aren't they like the poachers?" He asked.

"No of course not, a lot of them are pretty nice I guess" mat shrugged.

"We get them in the city sometimes, like visiting, we actually built a vacation place for mellows where they can like stay and visit." Steph paused "it's like up in the mountain near the school."

"Some of them like bring note books and try to get all our autographs and pictures with us it's wild" mat laughed.

"Mm mat remember the little Mellow girl with the autograph book!" Steph said.

"Yah she was like the daughter of another American actor! They came into the school with Christian and asked for all the students autographs!" Mat laughed.

"Woah cool!" Jack smiled.

"Right?" Mat asked.

"So where do the donations go?" Jack asked.

"Oh you know like taxes and stuff, stoping poachers, the usual." Mat shrugged again.

"Cool" jack said.

"Yep!" Mat said, still very exited,

"Sorry we can't help you find Felix! We have to go get ready!" Mat was hopping around again.

"We're going to LA!" Steph yelled as she hugged mat.

"Goodbye guys!" Jack laughed.

The two faun practically skipped away from him, mat turning back to yell "By the way! Our patrols name is beryl!"

"Goodbye guys!" Jack screamed back as the two were swallowed by the wave of people.

"Well they were nice" jack thought, he liked them, maybe he'll ask Mark if he knew them.
