Marina woke up. She was in her room with Lettie and Anne by the foot of the bed. She hoped that it was all just a dream. She didn't have a sister, much less a sister with wild purple hair. Marina slowly sat up, Anne and Lettie looked over and rushed to the young girl.

"You okay, Mari?" Anne asked. Lettie examined her to make sure she was okay. They heard a knock on the door and it opened up. Walking in Mal and Phillip.

"How are you, Marina?" Phillip asked in concern. Marina eyed Mal before looking at Phillip.

"I'm fine, but what happened?" She asked.

"You fainted." Mal piped in. "After tell you... I... was... your sister..." Mal trailed slowly. Marina put her head in her hands.

"I hoped that was just a dream." Marina muttered. "Is the show over?"

"Yeah, ended a while ago." Lettie answered. She noticed Mal was a bit sad. "We'll leave you two to talk." Lettie informed before getting up and leaving with Anne and Philip. It was awkward and silent. Marina stared at Mal and Mal at Marina. Both stared into green eyes.

"So..."

"So?"

"I'm Mal." Mal introduced again in case Marina forgot after she fainted.

"Marina Kione." Marina said back.

"I'm sure you have a lot of questions..."

"Quite the opposite, actually. Why are you here? All my myself, people have told me that my parents didn't want to, now I have a new family and the people that gave me up, return."

"Listen, you need to come with me and my friends back to our home th-"

"... and leave the circus? Never!" Marina protested. Stood up and walked towards the door. Mal followed her out. They ended up backstage where everyone in the circus are along with Mal's friends.

"What gives you the right to be here and tell me where to go?" Marina said loudly. It was hear by everyone, and everyone were a bit shocked. It was rare for Marina to be angry. Last time she was angry was went William Collins called her friends-- no, her family-- freaks. Of course he apologized, but that was after she gave William a black eye and split lip.

"Then how about I stay?" Mal blurts out, which caught Marina off guard.

"W-what?"

"I'll join the circus, help out and we can get to know each other." Mal grabbed one of Marina's hands, holding them in her own. "What do you say?"

Marina was speech, honestly didn't know what to say. It wasn't up to her, but to Phillip. She looked at Phillip who looked at Marina for the answer.

"If you're okay with it then I'll allow it." Phillip said. Marina looked back at Mal.

"I-I..."
