"Well, there's Tyche." I reply. "And Mania isn't that bad... Just got a crappy job, that's all."

"Tyche, where the lucky ones belong." I recite. "It's the goddess of luck and fortune."
"Ah..... well now that we have a list, we need to eliminate the impossible. Now I know for sure Hypnos and Morpheus are out, my mom keeps herself informed of their whereabouts. Last I heard they were having a contest to see who could stay asleep the longest. Stupid, if you ask me."

"OK..." I reattached my jaw, and look at Mae. "Are you sure you're not related to Athena?"
"Uh... No. I don't know! I just am a reader with a good memory! You find lots of time in the woods." I say. "I found an old library near by. It was abandoned and I just sat around and read. Why? Is that unusual?"
(that is the exact same website i went to lol)Wait, it can't be ALL of those, they don't all exactly get along that great... What about Tyche? That would be a cool twist."
"Eh, a bit?" I say. "OK, granted, I was thaught how to fight by dead soldiers..."
((seriously, does NO ONE check camphalfblood.wikia.com?))
"You two, we do have more important matters to discuss, like, oh, SAVING THE WORLD for example? C'mon, we still need to get to Disneyland, and find whatever it is that has been lost..."
"OK. Lets hope we don't run into any of your teachers." I say with a shiver. I turn to Ruby. "Tyche? Why would that be a twist?"

"Well, she's the goddess of good fortune... And maybe she has some problems of her own, maybe she is plauged by bad luck or something... I don't know, but we really should get going..."
(oh, *slaps myself on forehead* duh)
"Right. Good luck goddess cursed or something. We have to save the world. World? We don't even know if this is affecting anyone but us! Who is threatening the world?"
"It wasn't that bad." I say." I mean, I could actually use all of my strenght without having to remember not to kill them. And Tyche... If you want to find one of her kids, and probably the Goddess herself, we might want to hit Las Vegas."
"Who knows! They could be using us to destroy the world or something... I don't know... But anyway, let's figure out who it is later, right now we need to find the next part of the prophecy: Retrieve what has been lost."
"Oh! I forgot! We are suppose to be searching for what is lost! And our location is exposed! Ahhh!! Lets go go go!" I shout, shoving the group away from the fountain. As I pushed them I felt more focused. The farther we were from the fountain, the easier life seemed. I looked back at the strange fountain. I felt a slight urge to go back and touch it. Why? "Guys. What ever you do. Don't look or go back to that fountain." I say.
I duck and roll under a nearby hot dog stand, James Bond style. But I straighten in embarassment when I see the man working at the stand look at me like I have problems. "Sorry." I whisper, and walk over to join Mae, Maj, and Zaynah near a little girl taking her picture with Belle.
"Okay, sure I say, a little distracted because I'm watching, wistfully, another little girl squealing in excitement upon seeing Cinderella a ways off. I never got that. I thought.
(i was talking to the hot dog guy)
"What are you looking at?" I say, trying to look the same direction as Ruby was. I saw what she was watching. She seemed very sad. "Are you alright?"
(No. I mean like, "Why did you tuck and roll?" kinda thing.)
"Oh, uh, yeah, fine." I clear my throat and try to look at anything but that little girl, ending up back at the hot dog stand.
"You look... sad. Haven't you been here?" I ask.
"Oh, yes, loads of times...just...not like that... My mom only brought me here to practice my magic... Great place to do that.
And it was never any fun..."
"Ah... magic. I've always wanted magic. But I can just talk to moles and mice. I used to dream I had magic. Then I would be trapped by my own magic. Creepy creepy." I say with a shudder. "Then again, I was a weird child. I dreamed of Vampire Rats invading my school. I was reading, then my book turned into a Vampire Rat. He went around and bit my family and friends. They turned into rats too. Then they all wanted my blood. Worst dream ever!" I say.
I look at kmae strangly. "Um, okay then."
I nodded, a little embarrassed I shared that. "But what is weird, that is the only dream I remember. Ever." I look at Ruby. "What is that suppose to mean, Magic Girl?" I ask.
I shrugged, "I'm only a beginner, I don't know everything."
"Dang. Well... we have to figure out where we all met, without knowing." I say.
I look at the little girl that is having her picture taken with Cinderella. "She looks just like Kat when she was 5." I mutter.
"You don't mean- no... not possible!" I say incredulously.
"Who?" I say. I find both Ruby and Maj staring at the little girl and I was left in silence. Then I had a good idea. "Hey, you guys, lets have some fun!" I say and I grab them both by the shirt collars. I drag them over to Cinderella. The little girl walk away, waving to Cinderella. I step forward and Cinderella looks at me. "Hi!" I say. "My friends here would love a picture with you. May we?" I ask.
"Why of course!" she says in a Cinderella voice. "Come along!" she said, waving us forward. I shove Ruby and Maj towards Cinderella and make an imaginary camera with my hands. Maj and Ruby look shocked at what they were doing. I sigh and walk over to them. I position them so they are hugging Cinderella. I step back and reform the camera. "Say cheese!" I say and do a click sound.

"Have you gone nuts?" I hiss.
"Yep!" I say happily. I put down the imaginary camera and walk over to Cinderella. "Thank you!"
"My pleasure." she says.
We walk away and I just can barely contain my giggles. "Ok, tell me that wasn't fun!" I giggle.
"My pleasure." she says.
We walk away and I just can barely contain my giggles. "Ok, tell me that wasn't fun!" I giggle.
I smile akwardly. "Thanks!" I say to Cinderella when Mae is done.The cuteness of her voice makes me want to vomit all over again, but without anything in my stomach I can't.
"So, your big plan?" I ask Mae annoyed.
"Which one? The one to get you two out of your sorrows? Or the one to pro-fill the prophices? Or the secret one I have planned?"
"The one that involved me next to Cinderella" I grunt.
"Thats the get-you-out-of-your-sorrows. Judging by your frowns, this is not bringing happy memories to you. So, we re-create them!!" I say, a happy grin spreading across my face.
I would agree with Maj, but I'm nowhere to be seen. Then, suddenly, Maj, Zaynah, and Mae bump into someone in a huge Ariel as a human costume. "Hi!" It says. "Do you want a picture?" And, without warning, she tugs the threesome in a huge hug and says, "say cheese!"Out of thin air, a camera appears in front of them. Then a body of a person appears to acompany the camera, and the woman standing before them snaps a photo and grins a wide, perfect toothed smile, and disappears with a pop, but leaves the camera.
When maj and Mae turn around to look at the Ariel person, she is gone.
"Now I remebemer why we never returned." I say, as the Ariel takes our picture. "Why in the name of all things pretty would you go here? It's not like they're really here..."
Suddenly I pop up and say, "So, did you like having your picture taken?"
I wink and say, "that costume was hot," fanning myself.
