So that's their names..... I thought as I approached them. I remembered my very first encounter with them. At the time, they were pretty annoying, but hearing their loud arguing made them even more annoying to me.

I wasn't really in the mood to talk to them, but I didn't have a choice.

They were both dressed in dark clothes and dark coats. As I approached them, their feud abruptly stopped. "Princess," the lady started, both doing a quick bow. "Please," I sighed as I rubbed my tired eyes. "Call me Crystal." They both glanced at each other before looking up at me. "What seems to be the prob?"

"She stole my shampoo!" Mr.Ron's Australian voice argued. "That's the only thing I have to provide for my wife and three kids!" "Well, he stole my perfume!" The lady's raspy voice shrieked as she pointed at him. "I've got six cats waiting at home for me!"

"LIAR! Everyone knows you're allergic to cats!"

"And everyone knows your wife left you!"

They argued, the noise getting louder and louder. Their rowdy disagreement caused many heads to turn our direction, making me extremely uncomfortable. I tried to calm them down and shut them up for once, but my voice drowned in the exchange of insults.

They went back and forth-back and forth, showing no signs of stopping. Their loud screams made my head ache. It felt like a pounding sound in my head that played in sync with their yells, each gradually getting louder. I squinted my eyes. Not now headache. Go away! I thought angrily.

I slowly opened my eyes, gasping when I couldn't clearly see around me. Everything was black, it felt like I was sinking. I couldn't breathe, I couldn't see, I couldn't think straight. I could still hear their arguing though, which was extremely annoying. I sighed, trying my best to open my eyes. Then, I saw something. My headache suddenly went away as the darkness slowly shaped into something.

Two faint ovals revealing the same two people arguing. My body went stiff for a split second. It felt like I couldn't move. I couldn't control myself.

I couldn't react, and the weird holes disappeared just as they came. Trying to recuperate, I suddenly remembered where I was. "Oh and there you go again! Bragging about how your going to become a model and leave this town!" Mr.Ron screamed furiously. "Who CARES?!?" "Why you little," Ms.Suzy started before I interrupted her.

Their arguing had been going on for too long. It was time I put my foot down and acted like the temporary Queen I was.

"Can you two SHUT UP?!?" I screamed.

Everyone went quite.

I awkwardly cleared my throat. "Have either of you SEEN each other steal?!" Neither of them said a word. "No..." shampoo guy mumbled. "But some kid told us who did it!" I quirked an eyebrow at them. "And you'd just believe what someone told you?" I glared. They both looked guiltily at the ground.

"Apologize!" I commanded with my hands on my hips. They turned to each other reluctantly. "....sorry," they muttered. "Now hug it out!" The two gritted their teeth and held each other's shoulders stiffly for a split second before backing apart. I felt guilty for making them solve their problems forcefully, but their expressions were just too funny.

I giggled a little before retaining my composure. "So... can either of you describe the person who spoke to you?" I asked. "W-well he looks about your age..." Mr. Ron started. "Light skin tone."

"Tall," perfume lady said.

"With blue eyes...."

"Really?" I asked curiously. "Interesting...."

"I swear, if I get my hands on that kid....." the bald man growled. "No need for violence," I deadpanned. "Well what about my goods?!?" Ms. Suzy yelled again. "We have nothing left to sell!" "D-don't worry. We'll figure something ou-" "I'M GONNA GO BANKRUPT!" Mr.Ron panicked even more.

"I sure there's some rational solu-"

"I'm tired of this thieving town. You never know who you can trust these days!" "Exactly! So how am I sure I can trust YOU?" Shampoo guy raised an eyebrow at her. Then they started arguing.

Again.

I couldn't take it any longer. I had enough information and didn't need them anymore. Quickly, I walked back around the corner and away from their commotion. The moment I could no longer hear them, another sound rang in my ear.

Pounding.

I felt it again. That same headache. Pounding over and over again in my head. The feeling was more of a sound. Like someone or something was banging on a door. The only difference was that the banging in my head caused a lot of pain.

My vision got blurry with two dark ovals flashing in every now and then. "Is this some kind of side effect from my weird dream last night?" I muttered, clutching my head as I walked groggily.

I was having a hard time walking on my own, with no thanks to some stranger who rudely ran by and bumped into me. Luckily, I wasn't able to fall over, but was able to catch a glance at that person.

They wore a full black cotton suit, covering their whole body. On their back was a backpack.

With perfume and shampoo poking out at the side.

Then, at the worst possible timing, my headache grew even worse.

I guess I have no choice, I sighed before dashing after them.
