                         Mal
When he woke up Zoey was still asleep. (Either I'm waking up way too early or she's a late sleeper) He got up, got some clothes and walked behind the folding screen, when he walked out from behind the folding screen, fixing the cuffs of his shirt sleeves he saw that Zoey was still asleep. (Not that I'm surprised, but I thought the noise would wake her)
"Wake up." He said loudly, but not yelling at Zoey. When Zoey groaned and just rolled over in her sleep, he scoffed and walked up to her.
"Hey wake up." He said, pushing Zoey's shoulder a little.
"Too.... early." Zoey mumbled.
"No, it's not." He replied, with a roll of his eyes. (How did she make it through total drama)
"You won't let me go back to sleep will you?" Zoey asked.
"No I won't." He said, then watched in amusement as Zoey got up and out of the bed. (She's getting better at that glare, not that I'll tell her that..... I wonder how Mike's reacting to all the new information about his girlfriend, I'm certainly surprised, but she's much more interesting now)
"Mal."
He looked up and saw Zoey's head sticking out from behind the folding screen. (Oh, yeah she needs help with that corset) He walked behind the folding screen to see Zoey's back.
"You know what to do." Zoey said softly.
"Yeah." He said, stepping closer to Zoey then started to tighten and tie the laces. (She doesn't seem bothered by this anymore, then again this is starting to feel like second nature to me as well) when he was finished, he walked to the other side of the folding screen. He kept himself occupied with unplugging and turning on the video cameras while Zoey finished getting dressed.
"Mal you ready?"
He turned around when he heard Zoey, and saw her in a really dark almost black, purple short-sleeved dress, walking towards him.
"Yeah." He replied, and handed Zoey her camera, then they left the room and quickly made their way to the kitchen.
"Do you think we'll should re-cheek all the secret rooms?" Zoey asked him, as he started to make breakfast.
"I think we should." He replied. (I know what you're thinking and we can't avoid the dungeon forever) and placed the now finished food on plates then on the table.
"I'm just worried about what else we could find." Zoey said.
"How about we worry about what we find in those journals for now." He replied, then took a bite of his food.
"By the way, how should we read the journals?" Zoey asked him, after a few minutes of eating silently.
"Well I thought we do what we usually do......you read a few pages, then I would read." He answered, teasingly sarcastic then smirked when Zoey rolled her eyes.
"Then shall we put your plan into motion?" Zoey asked him, pointingat his empty plate then her empty plate indicating they had no more reason to be in the kitchen. Instead of answering he stood up and started to walk towards the door, then looked at Zoey in shock when he felt her slip her hand into his. (Is she still scared.....probably, that's the only reason that makes sense, I can'tbelieve her wanting to hold my hand on purpose) when they got into their room he locked the door while Zoey got the journals and sat on the couch. When he sat down on the couch Zoey handed him Mal's journal. (Still weird having the same name) then Zoey stared at the journal in her hands.
"You ready?" He asked, he watched Zoey sigh, nod her head then start to read aloud.
     April 2nd 1905,
I know it's been awhile since I've written anything but I had nothing to write about, now I do.....a lot has happened. In the almost  month the William's stay here, I've spent almost all my time with Mal, in fact unless daddy makes me I don't spend any of my time with Mike. A lot has happened when it comes to Mal and Mike and come to think of it some of this I should have written about it the day it happened, oh well. The first thing concerning them happened the week after my last journal entry......daddy, mom, and Matthew asked Mal, Mike and I to go to the sitting room......I'll get straight to point, the William's stay is for a marriage proposal, I almost thought it the end of the world until daddy said I was able to choose which brother I wanted to marry. Which is a good thing because of the next important thing that has happened to me concerning.....well Mal, in the short time I've known Mal.....I've fallen in love with him, I only hope that he feels the same. There are now only three important events that have happened and they all happened today, the first thing happened right after breakfast. Daddy and Matthew took Mal, Mike and I to the sitting room on the first floor and I knew something was off when daddy looked at me with a guilty expression. He told us that I would be marrying Mike, but before I could protest daddy told me to go to his study, when I got there I only had to wait a couple of minutes before daddy walked into his study. Again before I could speak daddy said that I know I said you could choose but Matthew and I thought it best you marry Mike, then I said I didn't want to marry Mike. Daddy looked at me with a raised eyebrow and asked if I wanted to marry Mal.....I didn't say anything because even if I did say I wanted to marry Mal, daddy wouldn't let it happened because when daddy puts his foot down it stays down especially if it concerns mom and I. So I left the room without saying anything, as I walked down the stairs to the second floor and standing in front of Mike's room was a maid and standing in front of her was Mike with his shirt off and he was acting different meaning he was practicing for his future acting career. Now I wouldn't have minded that, I think it's great that Mike wanted to be an actor but he was flirting with the maid, at the time I wasn't in the mood to deal with Mike's acting so I walked down the rest of the stairs, glared at the maid and told her to get back to work- which she did rather quickly- then I told Mike to put a shirt on. After that I went out to the garden and into the hedge maze- my mom told me that was one of the first things she added to the house, I was two at the time. She wanted me to have something fun to do outside, now the center of the maze is where I go to when I want to be outside and mostly alone, the maze isn't secret and anybody can find the center. When I got to the certain I saw Mal laying on the bench, and he always knows when I'm near because he said why aren't you with Mike, shouldn't you be trying to learn more about him. I told Mal I was mad at his brother, he asked what his brother did this time, and I told him what Mike did. Mal said I'm not surprised he hasn't told you yet, I asked what he was talking about, and this is the second important thing I learned today.....Mal told me that Mike has multiple personality disorder and who I saw flirting with the maid wasn't Mike but Vito. I asked Mal were there any others, Mal told me there were three others if you don't count Vito and their names are Chester, Svetlana and Manitoba. I didn't say anything after that, I just took Mal by the hand and then searched for Mike, it took awhile but I found him in the third floor sitting room. I don't know how long I just stood in front of Mike glaring, but eventually I started yelling at him, I don't know how long I yelled at him but by the time I was done it was time for dinner. After dinner I went up to the fourth floor -the fourth floor is made up of fake doors, none of them open except for two, my parents room and a door that leads to the fifth floor. But there are three hidden rooms that only my mom, Mal and I know about, and I walked up to one of them. You can find the room by going to the first door on the left, turn the handle five times to the right, eight times to the left and another five times to the right, after that pull the handle and the door will open.- and into the secret room, apparently Mal had followed me because he entered the room not long after I did. The third important and it's probably the most important thing has happened, Mal watched me pace back and forth for awhile, until he grabbed me by the wrist forcing me to stop. Then Mal asked me if I wanted to marry Mike, I said no, then he asked me if I wanted to marry him, and not even thinking I said yes. When I realized what I said I wanted to run from the room but Mal was still holding my wrist so I couldn't. After a minute of silence I finally asked him to say something.....instead of saying anything he kissed me. The kiss only lasted a few seconds but it felt like forever and it felt like heaven. When the kiss ended Mal said then we'll marry, there's still time to convince our father's to let us marry instead of marrying you off to Mike, before you say anything there was nothing going on between you and Mike, so there's nothing wrong with us. So what do you say, want to start a secret relationship....I said yes, then he kissed me again but this time I returned it. When it ended I told Mal goodnight, gave him a quick kiss and left the room and went back to my room. About thirty minutes later I heard the door to Mal's room open and close, so I guess Mal is in his room....and now I'm in a secret relationship with him.
He looked at Zoey as she stopped reading the page from the journal, she looked confused and conflicted.
"We'll ask questions later ok." He said, placing a hand on her shoulder. (I'm not comforting her, I'm not comforting her) Zoey nodded her head at him, he placed his hand back at his side and Zoey continued to read from the journal.
            April 3rd 1905,
The next morning after breakfast daddy told me to spend at least until lunch of my time with Mike, I sighed and I did as daddy told me. The entire time Mike apologized over and over about not telling about his multiple personality disorder, I eventually told him I forgive him but I was still mad at him. Luckily my mom walked up to us and told Mike that she was sorry but she needed me, Mike nodded his head, then my mom led me to my room and sat me down on my couch before sitting down next to me. I asked why she needed me, she said she only wanted to talk, I asked her what about. She told me that she was in the room when Mal and I decided to start our secret relationship. She quickly told me that she completely agreed with mine and Mal's relationship, I asked why, she said a mother knows who can make her daughter happy, and that Mal was able to do that. My mom said that while Mike was a nice boy, she knew that I would be miserable with him, then she said that she'll try to talk to daddy, after that she left. I left a few minutes later and went outside to the hedge maze and when I reached the center I saw Mal sitting on the bench. When I satdown next to him, he asked if my mom talked to me, I said yeah, then asked him the same question, he nodded and said that we'll have to be more careful, then he pulled me closer to him and kissed me. After the kiss ended he held me to his chest and whispered in my ear that he didn't want this to end as soon as it started and I completely agreed with him.
        April 4th 1905
Today daddy told me that I should take Mike and show him the nursery on the fifth floor, daddy said he knew that I skipped it when I was giving the tour on the first day of the Williams stay. So after lunch I told Mike I wanted to show him something on the fifth floor, he said ok, then Mal said he'd come along too. Once the three of us were on the fifth floor I led them to the fourth door on the right and opened the door to my old nursery. Mal asked what the room was, I told him it used to be the nursery, Mike asked why I was showing them the room, I told him that eventually the room will be used as a nursery again, Mike then asked why would we want children. I was so mad and upset with him that I left the room without saying a word, I ended up reading a murder, mystery book that I can't remember the name in the library on the third floor. When Mal walked in I asked him if he needed anything, he said that yes he needed help finding the two public secret rooms on the fourth floor. I knew he was joking but I smiled and nodded my head, he held out his arm, I placed the book on the table in front of me, stood up and laced my arm through his. I led him to the first fake door on the left and pulled the handle, then pushed the handle and the wall opened up revealing the room. I closed the entrance to the room, then I led him to the end of the hallway and again on the left I pushed on the door and the wall opened revealing another room. I closed the entrance to the room then turned to look at Mal, and said if he could now remember where the rooms were, he smirked and nodded his head before leading me to the dining room since it was time for dinner. After dinner daddy said he wanted to spend some time with me, it was more of a question so I nodded my head and daddy led me to the ballroom. I asked him why we were in the ballroom, daddy said he wanted to take me up on my offer of a dance, I told him I made that offer almost a month ago, he said so, so I danced with him for a few minutes before he let me go to bed....though I was happy that I finally got that dance.
        April 5th 1905,
Daddy took Mal and Mike out hunting and Matthew went with them, so I spent the day with mom, we went horseback riding, and she told me that she talked to daddy but no such luck. After we went back inside, my mom and I spent the rest of the day in the sitting room on the first floor, she asked why I was a little upset last night and by the time I finished the story she was mad at Mike as well. When daddy, Mal, Matthew and Mike returned on their hunting trip empty-handed, I asked daddy why he didn't bring anything because he usually did. Daddy blushed and said that it was just not a good day for hunting, then my mom folded her arms and gave him that look that meant she knew he was lying and that he needed to tell the truth. After a few seconds daddy said it seems that Mike isn't the greatest hunter in the world, it took my mom and I some effort not to laugh. Unfortunately for Mike, he didn't get to defend himself because one of the cooks from the kitchen came into the sitting room and said that dinner was ready...I wasn't able to see Mal later.
He watched Zoey close the journal, then looked at him, not saying anything. (I guess she's waiting for me to start reading)
"Do you want to talk about what we found out now or after I read from this journal?" He asked Zoey.
"After." Zoey answered him, he nodded his head and started to read aloud.
          April 2nd 1905,
I know it's been awhile since I've last written in this but I didn't care to much to write before now. I'm writing now because a lot has happened since the last journal entry, and maybe I should've written some of this before now but whatever. Anyway a week after the last journal entry my father, Thomas and Cora told my brother, Zoey and I to go to the sitting room. I'll get straight to the point, our stay at the Flores mansion is for a marriage proposal, and Thomas said that Zoey could choose who she would marry. And I plan on being the one she marries because in the short time I've known her I've fallen in love with her, and now today father and Thomas took my brother, Zoey and I to the sitting room on the first floor and they told us that Mike will be marrying Zoey. I could tell she was devastated and was about to argue but Thomas told her to go to his study. A few minutes later Thomas followed Zoey, leaving Mike and I with our father, I asked him what about her having a choice while glaring at Mike, who looked like he won something. Father said that he and Thomas thought that Mike was better suited to marry Zoey, I asked how he was better suited, he wouldn't be able to protect her. Father interrupted me and told me that the marriage proposal was not up for discussion, I glared at him before leaving the room. I went to the garden well actually the center of the hedge maze and stayed there by myself for awhile until Zoey showed up and she didn't look happy. I asked her why she wasn't with Mike, she told me she was mad at Mike, I asked what my brother did this time. When she finished her story the only thing I could think was that my brother was an idiot but I think he's an idiot anyway so it didn't surprise me that he hadn't said anything. So I told her that Mike had multiple personality disorder and who she saw wasn't Mike but Vito, she asked if there were others, I told her there were three others Chester, Svetlana and Manitoba. Zoey didn't say anything she just grabbed my wrist and dragged me all over the mansion, I could only guess she was looking for Mike. When we found him, Zoey glared at him for awhile before she pulled me forward and said, Mal told me something interesting would you like to know, Mike only nodded his head, Zoey then said that I told her that Mike had multiple personality disorder. Before my brother could say anything Zoey started to yell and scold him and didn't stop until it was time for dinner. Throughout dinner Zoey glared at Mike, in fact Mike didn't even talk or look at her, he was probably afraid that if he did anything she would yell at him again. After dinner I followed Zoey to a secret room on the fourth floor, I watched her pace back and forth for awhile before grabbing her by the wrist. I asked her if she wanted to marry Mike, she said no, then I asked her if she wanted to marry me, she said yes. I didn't know how to answer but apparently I was taking too long because Zoey said to say something but I couldn't so I kissed her. When I pulled away I said then we'll marry, there's still time for us to convince both our father's to let us marry, I could tell she was hesitant so I said that there was nothing going on between her and Mike anyway. Then I asked her if she would start a secret relationship with me, she said yes then I kissed her again and this time she returned it. After the kiss ended Zoey said goodnight and left the room, sometime later I left the room and went back to mine.
       April 3rd 1905,
Today Thomas made Zoey spend at least the first half of the day with Mike, I know that Zoey doesn't hate Mike.....she even views him as a friend even if it doesn't seem like it. The hate is for the arranged marriage with him, and the other times before the arranged marriage.....well Mike grinds on her nerves, and I can tell that today Mike will be grinding on her nerves a lot, if that apologetic look on his face says anything. While Zoey was with Mike, Cora asked me to spend some time with her, I agreed because I need one of Zoey's parents to like me. Cora and I walked around the garden in silence for awhile before she said that she knew that Zoey and I started a secret relationship last night, but before I could say anything she quickly added that she agreed with the relationship. I asked her why she agreed, she said that she knew that I would be good for Zoey, I nearly laughed when she said that, I asked her why she thought a bad boy would be good for her daughter. Cora said that I'll be able to keep up with her daughter, I asked her what she meant by that, she said that I wouldn't hold Zoey back, I told her I was still confused. She said that Zoey while she can't be described with words, she can be described by the rooms she has created, and while Mike might love her, he does not understand her. I said and you think I do, Cora said that yes, she thought I understood her daughter. Cora said that she knew that I would be able to protect and love her daughter like she always wanted for Zoey, after she said that she left and I decided to go to the hedge maze again. A few hours or what I thought was a few hours later, Zoey showed up and when she was sitting down I asked her if her mother talked to her, she said yes and asked me the same question, I gave her the same answer. I pulled her to me then kissed her, after the kiss ended I whispered in her that we would have to be more careful and that I didn't want this to end before it could even begin...I could tell she agreed even if she didn't say anything.
         April 4th 1905,
After lunch Zoey told Mike that she wanted to show him something on the fifth floor, since I was curious I went with them. She showed us a nursery, Mike asked why she was showing us the nursery, she said that eventually the room will be used as a nursery again......now I haven't thought of having children but I'm not dumb enough to say what my brother did. Mike asked Zoey why would they want children, well Mike if I get my way which I will, you won't be having children with Zoey. Besides that fact Zoey looked mad, it didn't help that she left the room without answering him. After she left I told Mike that if she doesn't kill you, you should consider yourself lucky, then I left the room and searched for Zoey. I found her in the library on the third floor and I could tell she was still upset, maybe one day I should talk to her about children....but not today. Anyway I decided I should at least put her back in a good mood so when she asked if I needed anything, I said I needed help with finding two of the secret rooms, then I held out my arm for her to take. She knew I was lying but she looked happier and she took my arm so I guess she was going to play along. After she showed me where the rooms were, Zoey said if I now could remember where the rooms were. I smirked and nodded my head then led her to the dining room, I wasn't able to see Zoey after dinner since her father wanted to spend some time with her.
     April 5th 1905,
Today I had to spend the entire day hunting with my brother, my father and Thomas, and it was as amusing as it was annoying. Apparently father didn't inform Thomas of the fact that Mike had multiple personality disorder, so when Mike spent more time as Chester, Thomas was more than a little curious....oh he knew of the acting lie, he just didn't know why Mike was acting during a hunting trip. So very reluctantly my father told Thomas that Mike had multiple personality disorder and it wasn't Mike complaining but Chester. I could tell that Thomas was a little mad at not being informed of this sooner, he asked if there were more personalities, father again reluctantly said there were three others, Manitoba, Svetlana and Vito. Thomas asked what would trigger each personality to appear, father told him Vito appeared when Mike had his shirt off. Manitoba appeared when Mike wore a fedora, Chester appeared when Mike was annoyed or frustrated and Svetlana appeared when Mike had to do something physically challenging. Thomas looked over at Chester who was ranting about something, then looked back at my father and nodded his head, then he continued on walking.... that's one way to end a conversation. Anyway since Chester didn't stop ranting, we wasn't able to catch anything and Mike didn't reappear until we were standing in front of the mansion. When we entered the sitting room on the first floor, Zoey and her mother were there, Zoey asked why her father didn't bring anything back because he usually did. Thomas blushed and lied saying that it wasn't a good day for hunting, Cora gave him a look and folded her arms, Thomas said that Mike wasn't the greatest hunter in the world.... well technically he's correct Mike can't hunt. Zoey and Cora, I could tell was trying to not laugh and it seemed like Mike could tell they were trying to not laugh, because he tried to defend himself but one of the cooks from the kitchen walked into the room and said that dinner was ready..... I wasn't able to see Zoey the rest of the night.
He had closed the journal and took a deep breath and looked at Zoey who had her head in her hands. (I'll wait until she says something)
"They had an affair." Zoey whispered, but he could hear her.
"Yeah, so?" He asked.
"I just wasn't expecting it." Zoey replied, looking up at Mal.
"Why, she was in love with one of them, had to marry the other, the one she was in love with loved her back, he suggested to start a secret relationship and she agreed." He said.
"For someone that doesn't seem to care, why can't you say their names?" Zoey asked, he smirked and moved his face closer to hers.
"The same reason that you don't care but wasn't able to say their names." He whispered, then leaned back.
"What makes you think that I don't care?" Zoey asked.
"You would have more of a reaction to the affair if you did care." He replied.
"You're right I don't care, I'm just surprised." Zoey said.
"Why are you surprised, I thought you didn't care about who she ended up with?" He asked, confused.
"I don't care who she ends up with, I'm..... honestly I don't know what to think." Zoey said, dejectedly.
"I know what you mean....... were you mad at Mike when he didn't tell you about... the others... including me?" He asked. (I'd rather not think of myself as a multiple personality to that pathetic fool, but for the sake of the question)
"At first I was mad, then I was upset, then I felt betrayed." Zoey whispered the answer.
"Is that why you haven't told him all that you've told me, to get back at him?" He asked. (I didn't expect you to be to take revenge type..... but then again, I've learned a lot of stuff about you)
"No, not that, I wanted him to ask about my life outside total drama.....he didn't ask so I didn't tell him." Zoey answered.
"You have anymore secrets I should be aware of?" He asked, slyly.
"Not that I can think of at the moment." Zoey answered, blushing.
"You're hiding something, so when that moment arises do tell me your secrets." He whispered.
"Do you have any secrets that you would like to share?" Zoey whispered the question.
"I've got plenty of secrets." He whispered, smirking.
"Care to share?" Zoey asked, still whispering.
"Well I wasn't planning on telling you this but since you asked.... I find you interesting, I haven't met anyone like you before." He whispered into Zoey's ear, when he pulled back he saw that Zoey was blushing. (I wasn't expecting that reaction)
"Was that a compliment, and why are we whispering?" Zoey asked.
"It was a compliment and what whispering." He said, this time he wasn't whispering.
"Funny, you've complimented me a lot, in the short time we've been here." Zoey commented.
"I know, I don't know what's wrong with me." He replied, watching Zoey turn off her camera, put it on it's charger, grabbed a night dress and walked behind the folding screen. He turned his camera off and put it on it's charger and grabbed some night clothes for himself while he waited for Zoey to call him back there.
"You can come back here." Zoey called out, he walked behind the folding screen.
"Do you like wearing these?" He asked, as he untied the laces.
"I don't like wearing them, but I have gotten used to wearing a corset." Zoey replied, he didn't say anything just continued to untie the laces. When he untied all the laces he walked back to the other side of the folding screen.
"Your turn." Zoey said, as she stepped out from behind the folding screen and walked towards the bed. He walked behind the folding screen and changed clothes, when he stepped out from behind the folding screen and saw that Zoey was asleep. He walked up to her and was about to turn off the lamp, when he looked down. (She's beautiful.... wait what) he shook his head, turned off the lamp and slowly made his way to his side of the bed, got in the bed and fell asleep.
                     Mike pov
"That Mike in the journal had multiple personalities." He whispered, but Chester, Manitoba, Svetlana and Vito heard him.
"And they had the same names as us." Svetlana said.
"And like the Mike and Zoey from the journals, you- Mike and Zoey are in a relationship." Manitoba added.
"Yeah, and like the Mal in the journals our Mal is winning." Chester commented.
"What do you mean Mal is winning?" He asked.
"The Mal in the journals won over the Zoey's in the journals heart, our Mal just might win your girlfriend's heart." Vito answered.
"Why are you two so obsessed with the idea of them getting together?" Svetlana asked.
"Mal hasn't shown any interest in her at least not in a romantic way." Manitoba said.
"Quit fooling yourself,  Mal hasn't never acted this way towards anyone." Vito replied.
"What are you saying?" He asked.
"He's saying that Mal is falling in love with Zoey." Manitoba answered.
"No, he doesn't have feelings for her." He said, with a shake of his head. (And Zoey doesn't have feelings for him)
"You idiot, Mal is falling in love with Zoey, quit it with the denial." Chester replied.
"No he's not. " he said, almost yelling.
"Woah calm down Mike they're just trying to annoy you, we all know Mal has no romantic feelings towards Zoey." Manitoba said, placing a hand on his shoulder.
"Why are you agreeing with him?" Vito asked.
"Because I'm not an idiot."Manitoba answered.
"Hey I'm not an idiot, I'm just not like you two, who think denial is the best option to deal with this new development with Mal!" Vito yelled.
"Would you four stop arguing and look over here!" Svetlana yelled, the four looked at Svetlana shocked.
"What is it Svetlana?" He asked. (I don't think she ever yells)
"Mal's dreaming." Svetlana answered, pointing at the cloud that was showing images floating next to her.
"So?" Chester asked.
"Well aren't you curious as to what he is dreaming about?" Svetlana asked, the four boys looked at each other, then Manitoba touched the cloud. The cloud grew bigger and the images turned into a movie of sorts.
    A girl and boy about 17 or 18 years old, in 1800's clothing and faceless sitting on a bench, a lantern sitting on the ground since it was dark. The girl was looking at the stars and the boy was looking at the girl, suddenly the girl looked at the boy.
"Hey Mal help me look for a constellation." The voiceless girl said.
"I'm not helping you look for a constellation Zoey." The voiceless boy replied.
"Please." Zoey begged.
"No." Mal said.
"Please." Zoey begged again, this time leaning on Mal and wrapping her arms around one of his arms.
"Fine, but just one." Mal said, Zoey nodded and looked back up at the sky, Mal looked up at the sky too.
"Look right there." Mal said, grabbing Zoey's chin softly and guided her face to where his finger was pointing, then let go.
"Hey you found Orion's belt." Zoey replied.
"I know." Mal said.
The dream stopped and the cloud disappeared.
"What was that about?" He asked. (Could Vito and Chester be right, is Mal falling in love with Zoey)
"Before you say anything Vito, Chester, I think I have an idea." Svetlana said, just as soon as Vito and Chester opened their mouths.
"What is it Svetlana?" He asked. (I hope it's a better answer then what those two had.....are probably thinking of)
"I think Mal was dreaming of the Zoey and Mal from journals." Svetlana said.
"Isn't that a little farfetched?" Vito asked.
"No it's not, our Mal knows what he and Zoey look like so they wouldn't be faceless, and since he knows what he and Zoey sound like, the Zoey and Mal from the dream wouldn't be voiceless either." Manitoba answered.
"Also if you noticed in the dream, it took place in the hedge maze and the hedges looked alive, our Mal hasn't seen the hedges alive so he wouldn't know what they looked like." Svetlana added.
"Well if he was dreaming about the Mal and Zoey from the journal, why is he, and why about the two of them stargazing, our Mal and Zoey haven't read anything in the journals about that?" He asked his personalities, and with each question he saw them getting worried.
"He could be dreaming about the two, because he and Zoey are reading their journals....and the dream itself, well it could be an event that later happens later in the journals." Manitoba answered.
"Or Mal is secretly wishing that he and Zoey would spend a night stargazing." Vito commented.
"Honestly Mal dreaming a future event in the journals is more believable then him wanting to go stargazing." Manitoba said.
"It's whatever you want to believe Mike." Vito said to him ignoring Svetlana, he couldn't do anything other than look at Vito. (I want to believe that Vito and Chester are wrong, and that these journals aren't actually affecting Mal, the way Svetlana and Manitoba are suggesting. We need to get out of this house, it's dangerous and it's not just the ghost, it's the mystery behind the house, the journals, the clues and hidden rooms as well as crime scenes, it's going to drive all of insane)
