"Good morning, Pascal." Once everyone was awake they made their way to the dining room for breakfast, "You know, aside from the fact that we were nearly replaced by evil doppelgangers last night, the house of yesterdays tomorrow offers a pretty good nights sleep."

"Well, it's certainly the coziest seashell shaped inn I've ever slept in"

"I've stayed in a cozier one, no wait, that was a seashell shaped like an inn." Artemis eyed the short old man with a hint of worry, "How did you possibly—"

"Uh uh, best not to ask." Eugene stopped the teen from pursuing answers. She nodded, he was probably right.

"Five stars"

"Oh, wait a minute. The door." It was just...gone.

"It was right here yesterday."

"Now, everyone relax, there's a solution to every problem." It was when lance started laughing nervously that everyone shared a look of worry.

"It's no use," the poor guy was banging on the shell wall, "we're trapped, it's all over. Okay, what's for breakfast?"

"Wow...did you hurt your neck making that turn, Lance?" Artemis looked between him and the rest of her friends with a confused yet sarcastic expression.

"Come on guys, there's gotta be another way out of here." The princess walked in one door and out another, "Except in this case..." Cass cautiously opened another door and almost got sucked in,

"Cass!"

"That's not an exit." Eugene tried the next door only to find a room full off what looked to be junk...and glowing red eyes?"

"Dogs...Dogs, dogs, dogs!" Rapunzel quickly slammed the door, "A dog kennel. I mean, why not, right?"

"Well, at least we can take that door off the list."

"Hey, I found a way out." Everyone looked at Shorty but shrugged it off and followed. Stepping into the room it was like a giants toybox or something, "What is this..."

"Shorty, this isn't a way out."

"Well not with that attitude it's not."

"Well look, the adults would like to find a—" everyone split off Fromm Cass, leaving her to watch Shorty bounce around on the trampoline, "Oh great..." Artemis looked at a few of the odd stuffed animals, they weren't dissimilar to ones she herself had had as a child,

"Hello, my name is Eugene fitzher...bear. Rawr." Artemis looked over to see what Rapunzel was doing and cracked up.

"Wow, yeah. Your teddy bear voice could use some work, not to mention your pun skills, blondie."

"Okay, fine, fine, but isn't this crazy? Whoever all this belongs to is one lucky kid."

"One lucky, spoiled, kid."

"Oh, Eugene. There's nothing wrong with indulging a kid every now and then."

"Uh uh, now that's a slippery slope. Kid's need boundaries, you gotta let 'em know who's boss. Otherwise they turn out like Artemis, snarky and always ready to trip you up."

"Hey! I resent that remark. Especially coming from a former thief!"

"Oh, you gotta let them know who's boss, grr." When Rapunzel pulled the bear away Eugene was gone, "And he's gone..."

"Okay, play time's over."

"Come on, Cass. lighten up. When do we ever get the chance to play with amazing toy swords like this?"
