LEO SLOWLY OPENED THE DOOR TO HIS ROOM. A girl stood there who Leo found familiar.


"I'm sorry, do I know you?" he asked. The girls' eyes filled with worry,

"Leo, it's me, Bianca," she said,

"Bianca..." Leo repeated trying to find out if he knew her,

"Oh no, uh we need to get out of here," Bianca said walking into Leo's room, "Pack up all your stuff. And hurry."

"But I don't even know you." he argued,

"Yes you do. Listen Leo, you have to remember and you have to trust me. This place is not where you want to spend your time, now please pack up so we can leave." Bianca begged. Leo didn't want to trust her but something in the back of his mind was telling him to, so he began to pack.



BIANCA WAS NOT DOING WELL. She was grateful that Leo listened to her and packed up his stuff but being in the hotel for her was too painful, she had to leave.


"Are you done yet?" she asked impatiently,

"Almost," Leo said stuffing some chips into his tool belt, "There I'm ready."

"Good, now stay with me so we can get out of this place." Bianca said,

"Well you sound excited to leave." he said with a little chuckle,

"That's because I am." she said exiting Leo's hotel room.


Leo walked behind Bianca, she kept looking back to double check he was still there. They were so close to the door until a voice spoke to them,


"Going so soon?" asked the concierge from earlier. Bianca stopped walking and slipped her hand into Leo's,

"Oh yes, sadly we have business in New York, but thank you for helping me find my boyfriend!" Bianca said in her fake accent. Leo looked confuse so Bianca shot him a just play along look,


"T-thank you for your hospitality." Leo said. The concierge didn't look convinced,


"You too look a little too young for dating..." the concierge said,


"Oh trust me we look a lot younger than our real age," Bianca said. The concierge was still not convinced so she gave Leo a quick peck on the cheek and cleared her throat, "Now we really must be going," This time the concierge let them go.


Bianca was glad they got out of there alive,


"What were you thinking?" Bianca almost yelled,

"Chill out, my memories still fuzzy." Leo complained,

"You're lucky I got you out of there in time." she said crossing her arms,

"Oh well then thank you," he said in a sarcastic tone, "why'd you tell that guy I was your boyfriend?" Bianca froze,


"It was the easiest thing to say,"

"So your first thought was me as your boyfriend?"

"No, it was you being my dad." she said rolling her eyes. Leo laughed softly,

"Nice joke." he said,

"You're a total idiot for going against what I said!" she argued,

"You're acting like you know that place," Leo said. Bianca's angery expression dropped and tears swelled in her eyes,

"Thats because I do," she said, "around 70 years of my life were wasted in there, the place is evil it distorts your mind."

"Wait so you're like 86?" Leo joked, but Bianca didn't laugh. Leo cursed himself for not taking the situation seriously, "Listen, I'm sorry I should've listened to you, and I most definitely will listen to you next time."

"Great, now we really must be going." Bianca said,

"How many days did we lose?" Leo asked,

"2 days, but it's okay I'm sure this jump will take us back to you're beloved ship." she said. Leo took her hand and they once again fell into the shadows. Of course Bianca was wrong, that jump would not take them to the Argo ii.
