Everyone has begun unpacking the crates and setting up our new home, The home of Phoenix Alliance. Isabell, Katelyn, Aphmau and I are unpacking a few of the crates that someone of the boys have brought back from the ship.

"Aphmau, are you sure about this place?" Katelyn asks.

"Of course! Katelyn, this island is perfect for finding out more about Lady Irene." Aphmau replies.

"Not that... I mean, did we really want to settle down in this spot?" Katelyn questions. "It doesn't look that great to me. Honestly, I think we could have picked out something better."

"Weren't you and Travis the ones who picked out this spot when we first got here?" Aphmau retorts.

"That's right... I did find this spot when we came here." Katelyn mutters.

"Hmm... And Travis!~" Aphmau coos.

"Yes... Travis, as well. (I guess...)" Katelyn whispers.

"I like Travis. I think he's really nice!" Isabell says.

"What?" Katelyn says blatantly.

"Yeah. He's been an absolute doll whenever I see him." Isabell says.

"You guys can't be serious." Katelyn replies.

"I am! He's helped me quite a bit with chores on the ship. From cooking to cleaning." Isabell says.

"You know Isabell, you don't have to do those things." I say.

"I know, but I insist! I love cooking and cleaning and pretty much anything that has to do with housework. Call me old fashion but I've always wanted to be a housewife."

"Sounds boring." Katelyn says.

"Well, I like boring!" Isabell argues.

"I was a housewife for quite some time... When I first had Abby, that is." I say.

"Isabell, it sounds nice! If you're happy, then we're happy for you." Aphmau says.

"Thanks! I just like simple things. I honestly don't see myself ever wielding a sword like you ladies. I rather roll around in babies and puppies." Isabell smiles.

"That sound... That sounds awesome..." Aphmau mutters. "Uh- Which reminds me! Isabell, thank you so much for taking care of Lilith while Aaron and I were away and also for taking care of my pups, too!"

"You don't have to thank me, Aphmau. I love looking after her... And the puppies are just icing on the cake! Hehe!  As a matter of fact, I feel a little lost since Aaron's looking after her right now." Isabell replies.

"Hmm... Right... You know Isabell... I fell like this a little forward, asking you this question but now that I know how you feel about watching her... I've been meaning to ask you... There will be a time when times when both Aaron and I will have to be away and we can't bring Lilith Garnet with us." Aphmau explains.

"What are you saying?" Isabelle questions.

"What I'm trying to say is... Would you be willing to care for Lilith, whenever duty calls for us, or should Aaron and I need to leave the island? I know it's asking a lot but we would really appreciate it." Aphmau replies.

"Don't be silly! Of course I will. I'm more than happy too!" Isabell smiles. "Thank you for asking me. I'm glad I can be useful in someway  I mean, I know I'm not strong like you or Katelyn, and I don't have any magic like Lucinda..."

Do I just not exist? Like... I have magic powers and I'm strong... Well... I guess no one really knows everything... or anything about me.

"Its-... That doesn't mean you aren't useful, Isabell. You've been a big help to us, even if you aren't putting us into danger, you being here. It's just such a big help. Don't think that we've ignored that."
