Kuri came over to Jacob's garage. He was working on the Rabbit.
"I brought you something." Kuri brought over a part for the Rabbit. "This is the part you were looking for right?"
"Wow you got that for me?!" Jacob rushed over, checking the part. "It's in such good condition! With this I can get her running in no time!"
"Well Grams always taught me that when you go to someone's house for the first time you bring a gift!" Kuri grinned.
Jacob laughed and wiped the grease off his face. "Hey you want a corn dog? I made too many. Embry and Quil are supposed to come over later and they love corn dogs."
"Well then we have a happy coincidence!" Kuri said, eating the corn dog. "Did you know corn dogs were originally invented at the Texas State Fair? I love fairs. Carnivals and circuses too."
"I think you just love a good event." Jacob said. "In that case you should come to the Harvest Festival tonight."
Jacob leaned over and began to install the new part, while Kuri watched, interested.
"Yes I'm supposed to go anyway. Mana's being honored by the tribe." Kuri made a sour face. "Actually I was dreading it, but now that I know you'll be there I think it will be kinda fun."

Reiko walked into Valice Cafe and caught the notes of a guitar. She looked up and saw that Edward was playing. She grinned. He really did have a talent.
The song ended and the audience clapped and then he took the mike. "I'd like to take a moment to introduce my duet act. She's a little shy, so she'll need some applause. Reiko Hikawa."
Reiko was shocked but realized she was trapped. If she left she was a coward and wouldn't be able to show her face around town, and if she did it she might screw up. She looked up at his face and he raised an eyebrow, challenging her.
Well she wasn't about to lose to him. Reiko took out her guitar and got on stage next to him.
"We're going to play Blood Trinity." Reiko smiled and whispered. "Try to keep up."
Reiko sang as Edward fell into rhythm in the song next her. Edward took up the lyrics and began to sing the chorus.
The two finished to a standing ovation, and Edward smiled at her. "You were great."
"You know Japanese music." Reiko said.
"There is no music that I don't know." Edward said.
"You should come to the Harvest Festival tonight." Reiko said.
"I'll be there." Edward said.

"Are you ready for the Harvest Festival? You'll be presented as the High Priestess." Sam said.
Mana wrapped her arms around his waist. "I know it makes you nervous, having me run with the wolves, honey. But you know I'm strong. Strong like you."
"I take that to mean you are ready." Sam said, stroking her hair.
"I was born for this, Sam." Mana replied
