(A week later)

(Niki lies in her bed asleep, with a smile. The alarm goes off and she slowly wakes up and shuts the alarm off. She stretches and gets up out of bed)

(Over on her nightstand, is Ziggy, waiting for Niki to pick him up)

(Niki gives Ziggy a smile and places him on top of her head. She kneels down to grab something from under her bed as it was a backpack)

(Niki then heads downstairs to tell her mother that she is doing something with Philomena)

Niki: Mom! I'm going to be out!

Elizabeth: Alright! Just don't be too long.

Niki: I won't. (Heads out the door)

(A few minutes later)

(Niki is at the Phoenix clan. Philomena comes out of the ruin, lands on Niki's shoulder, and then they both head out)

(Another few minutes later)

(Philomena is hoping branch to branch and Niki is walking along a path)

Philomena: So, I am going to introduce you to.... (Flies in front of her) TEMPLE HUNTING.

Niki: What's temple hunting?

Philomena: (flies alongside her) It's where you go to abandoned temples and such, to look for artifacts that might turn out useful.

Niki: Huh... Okay...

Philomena: And that's where we are heading now. Is to see how your first temple hunt will go. And trust me, I've never been to this one either.

Niki: Then how do you know where it is?

Philomena: Searching and exploring are two different things.

Niki: (chuckles) Okay, I'll take your word for it.

(After two minutes of chat they reach their temple to explore)

(The front of them there are two concrete doors that open roughly with a long passage way and only some of the outside passage is shown and the rest is covered by plants and vines)

(They enter with a suspicion that someone is there)

(Inside, along each wall, there are torches, that are unlit of course. Philomena uses them as a purpose of wandering around while Niki is walking)

(Philomena stops on one of them)

Philomena: I don't really like this place, come to think of it.

Niki: Come on, Don't be such a wuss... I'm sadly handling this better than you are, and this is my first time.

(They continue their trail and as they continue, there is a split up ahead, but the end on the right is blocked because of the ruin eroding. In other words it's blocked by boulders at that part of the ruin)

(Before they could reach the split... Something comes up from behind them. They stop dead and Niki slowly turns around with a terrified face. The person behind them has his arms crossed with a rather grumpy look. He's a hedgehog with black and red spines. Niki gulps, still terrified, she nervously smiles but the person then speaks)

Person: What is a child doing here? Don't you have somewhere to be, other than snooping around someone else's place?

Niki: I-I was just looking around. I swear I-I'm not touching anything... And I didn't know that someone actually lived here.

Person: (turns to face away) Just leave. I don't need to be babysitting for someone else's kid.

Niki: (not so terrified anymore and is rather being sassy) I'm a lot older than you think I am.

Person: Really? And just exactly how old are you?

Niki: (nervously) Seven.

Person: Thought so.

Niki: Can I at least get your name?

Person: (sighs) Shadow and yours?

Niki: It's Niki. And okay, I'm gonna leave, but not promising that I won't be back.

Shadow: Hmph. You better make that a promise. (Looking back at Niki)

Niki: (In a cocky tone) We'll see about that, Shadow.

(Niki walks past Shadow, and Philomena flies in behind her. The two leave to maybe not come back. The scene is stilled on Shadow and the place)

(The scene fades)
