Vlad said some enchanting words as I felt the box begin to give way. It shook slightly as I got in a rolling position. After some freaky movements from the box, Vlad finally said:

"Now Olivine!"

Faster than the blink of an eye, all the sides of the box blossomed open as I rolled out like there's no tomorrow. Then, as fast as it, the box closed up with a "Fwap!"

I breathed out and laid flat on my back, that almost gave me a heart attack. When I sat up, I noticed that Vlad had three books in his hand, an older one that probably helped him cast the enchantment, and two others that looked kinda tomboy-ish. I finally stood up and dusted myself off as Iggy moved the box out of the way.

"Maybe I need to do some tests on the boxes first..." Vlad mumbled as Iggy gave him a look that said 'You think?!'

"Anyway, I have something to give you Olivine." Vlad placed the old book on a nearby table and he put two books in front of me,"I have a Dream Journal and an Adventure Diary for you. You can record your dreams in the Journal and then we can figure out what they mean. I also thought that you seem like an adventurous girl, so I got an Adventure Diary so you can look back on your adventures in the future."

Vlad handed them to me. The Dream Journal was a light blue, hardback covered book with swirls of a mystic pink and neon green. An even lighter blue lined paper hugged the inside with cute stationery. The Adventure Diary was a black, hardback cover book with red letters, yellow caution tape prints, and danger signs all across the back. I liked the designs on the AD and the DJ, I'll be sure to record everything in them. I hugged the books close and smiled at him.

"T-Thank you" It was only polite.

~ Time skip, Arthur's house ~

Nothing much happened after I thanked him for my journals, Iggy discussed some things about me with him and then we said goodbye and left. Now we're in the living room and that's when I notice that the house is quieter than usual...

"W-Where is e-everyone?" I asked.

"I'm not sure... let's look for a note," He answered.

We searched high and low for a note, under the couch, on the coffee table, on the counter, on the floor, even in the fridge... it was Iggy's idea, I guess he found one in the fridge before. Then, as I passed by the coffee table once more, a small white object caught my eye. I bent down and crawled under the table to find a piece of paper.

"I-I think I f-found it!" I exclaimed, carefully getting out from under the table so I wouldn't bump my head.

I ran to Iggy and held the piece of paper in the air so he could bend down and retrieve it. He opened it and read it aloud.

'Matt and I went to the arcade to blow off some steam and Francis said something about a BTT meeting. Be back later. -HERO!'

I laughed at the ending, Al is really obsessed with being a hero. Staring down at my two new journals, I turned to the stairs and climbed up them. Iggy followed to insure my safety. Then I realized something, there's a rail on the wall. Schnitzel...

I heard him chuckle as he caught onto what I just realized. I turned to him and my face said 'Don't. Say. Anything'

*Arthur's POV*

"Oh! Olivine, I almost forgot," I said as I picked her up. "We didn't give you a room."

As I searched for a spare room in my house, Olivine shifted comfortably in my arms, still holding onto the journals that Romania gave her. Then it hit me.
