Everyone arrived at the edge of the forest safely. Alice and Billy hid behind a tree looking very carefully at what was going on.

"Everyone knows the plan by now, right?" Quinn triple checked.

"Yes. We'll be fine." Kris whispered.

"Alright." Quinn nodded. She led Eric and Phoenix into the forest, and tried to find Daniel and lure him out.

Alice and Billy snuck around Mimi and Kris and followed the trio into the woods.

"So, how've you been?" Kris put her hands in her pockets.

"Jamming out." Mimi answered.

"Cool." Kris rolled her eyes. It was a good thing it was dark outside and Mimi couldn't see that.

"So, we just have to wait now for a stupid text." Mimi kicked at the ground.

"It's called patience." Kris narrowed her eyes.

"I know what it's called. I just don't like it." Mimi shot back.

"At least you know something." Kris rolled her eyes again.

Meanwhile, Quinn was leading the other two deeper into the forest completely unaware that Alice and Billy were railing silently behind them.

"He should be here somewhere." Quinn muttered to herself.

Billy stepped on a twig and it cracked in half. Eric turned around and found himself face to face with Billy.

"Guys we have company." Eric backed away.

"What are you two killers doing here?" Quinn stepped forward.

"Making sure that you don't do anything you regret." Alice cracked her knuckles.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Phoenix asked.

"You don't have to worry about that. Now if you don't want to get hurt, you're going to get out of the forest and leave now." Alice said.

"No." Phoenix shook her head.

"Excuse me?" Billy stepped forwards.

"You two killed my mom! I'm not listening to a word you have to say!" Phoenix bellowed.

"I'd hate to have to hurt any of you. Especially you Quinn. That baby would die inside you if you die as well." Alice pouted.

"I knew that." Quinn didn't sound too convincing.

"You're not going to lay one finger on her." Eric warned them.

"That's not the problem right now. The problem is, we need to get to Daniel and stop him before he corrupts all of Wonderlust." Quinn told Alice and Billy.

"Why would you tell us that?" Alice asked.

"Because we want you to help us." Quinn explained.

"What?" Phoenix and Eric said at the same time.

"It's the only way. If you help us, you can still sell things at the record store and hang out with each other. If Daniel gets Wonderlust, what do you get?" Quinn asked.

"Nothing." Billy crossed his arms.

"Exactly. Nothing. So, like Quinn said, fight with us, and we will make sure that you do get something." Phoenix nodded.
