Morning arrived at the quiet house, without a stir of any living creature in the woods. Through the shutters of a window on the second floor, rays of light snuck into the room and laid to rest on the closed eyes of a sleeping Lily. Her eyes fluttered open as she sat up, and she rubbed her eyes to awaken herself further. Her black hair draped just passed her shoulders, and when her vivid green eyes fully opened, a blue light reflected from her left eye and quickly disappeared. She yawned and stretched, and then she turned towards her lampstand. The tickets stood on the table, waiting for when they would be put to use, and Lily finally stood up from her bed to get ready for the day.

Later:

Ethan and Lily had their suitcases packed as they were double-checking to make sure that they had everything. Right when they completed this task, Mike and Sarah showed up in Sarah's car next to the shed. They brought their own suitcases to spend the night so that they could leave all together the tomorrow morning.

As Sarah and Mike were getting temporarily settled in the house with Ethan guiding them, Lily went out to take a walk. She found a bird's nest on one of the tree branches, as she observed it. There was a green bird sitting on the nest, and then a flying blue bird rested next to that one. The two birds greeted each other with tweets and nuzzles, and then a third tweet sounded from within the nest. The birds looked down as their baby was tweeting. The green bird nuzzled the baby, as the blue one was feeding it.

Lily smiled as she watched the little family, and then she looked downward at her left hand as her smile faded.

"Lily?" A voice she knew called, as she turned around to see Freddy walking towards her.

"Hello Freddy," Lily said, as the brown animatronic bear stood before her.

"... are you okay?" Freddy asked.

"Huh? I'm fine," Lily replied.

"You seem sad. Is there anything I can do?" Freddy asked.

"... no. Thank you for offering," Lily said, as she looked downward.

"Lily!" Ethan called from a distance.

"Oh, right. Ethan sent me to find you. He wants to know what he should make for dinner," Freddy said.

"Oh, yes. I'll go now. Thank you, Freddy," Lily said with a nod, as Freddy nodded back.

Lily walked passed Freddy towards the house, as Freddy looked after her. He turned and looked up peculiarly at the nest of birds. He wondered why Lily was happy watching them at first but then sad the next moment.

For now, he decided to set this thought aside, especially since they were all leaving on an important trip tomorrow.

Yes! I finally got around to writing this! (Even if it's not very long, I actually did it!)

So, this chapter is more of a prelude. The next chapter will be longer and the rest of the group will be shown.

See ya soon peeps. ;D
