"The man said the school is just down the road this way." Darcy said, pointing ahead of them as the man she just spoke to walked the opposite direction. "We can't miss it."

"Okay, so now what? Run in there shouting "Red-head" until she comes out?" Stormy asked as they walked toward the school.

"Well... she'll have to leave at some point right? We'll sit around outside until we see her come out." Icy said.

No sooner had she said that when the red-headed girl and another woman exited the building, and headed toward a dark blue car.

"Talk about luck, now what?" Darcy asked.

"If we chase them we're gonna look like we're trying to get them or something... as in kill them." Stormy said.

"Lets follow them as best we can." Icy said.

"Wait, what are those numbers on the car?" Darcy asked as the engine of the car turned on.

"Dunno. Stormy, remember those numbers and letters. Lets tail them." Icy said. The car pulled away from the curb and drove past them. The trio followed casually.

-SOMEWHERE NEAR BLOOM'S HOUSE, 2:46PM

"That was... a long walk..." Darcy panted as they hid in some shrubs.

"But at least we know where she lives. Perhaps we can stakeout here for a while, make sure she stays safe." Stormy said.

"No. See all these other houses? Someone will definitely see is no matter how careful we are. It could be problematic if she and her parents find out we're here." Icy said.

"So what do we do? Walk up to the front door and ask for the girl? We don't even know her name, that won't be suspicious at all." Darcy crossed her arms.

"Maybe we won't have to. Look over there." Stormy pointed just down the road, where a man in a beige car had just pulled up to the sidewalk. He was dressed in a suit and hat, and carrying a vacuum. The trio watched him closely as he rang the doorbell and someone answered.

"Hello madam!" He greeted with a smile. "My name is Nathan Cardinal, and I would like to show you what the Super Vac. 200 can do for you and all of your household messes!" He said cheerily.

"No thank you, I've already got a vacuum." The woman said, and tried to shut the door on him.

"Of course you've got a vacuum, why from what I can see here your house is spotless! Tell me, do you do all the work around the house? Cooking, cleaning?" He asked, jamming his foot in the door.

"Yes I do. Now please-" She tried to shut the door again.

"Well if you don't mind me saying, someone as pretty as you shouldn't be cleaning a big house like this! You should be treating yourself to spa treatments every day! Which is why I not only sell vacuums." He pulled something out of his coat pocket. "I sell traveling spa kits!" He presented a black foldout case, containing all sorts of shiny tools for making oneself look better.

"Ooh... I... I am going to Brazil this weekend, and I haven't been able to get a many-petty at all this week." The woman said, finally opening the door again.

"Brazil huh? Well then, this is a must! If you let me come in I can explain everything that's in here." He said. The woman nodded and let him in.

"Wow..." Darcy said as she watched the scene unfold.

"We can't do that, we don't know how to sell things to people. Did you see that guy work? He was certainly denied entry to that woman's house, yet he pulled out something else and it intrigued her immediately. Who knows if that man had another product to sell if that one didn't work." Icy said.

"We may not know how to sell products to people, but he obviously does. Perhaps we can ask him to help us?" Stormy said.

Icy considered this for a moment. "Good idea. We'll wait until he comes out."

-THE BUSHES NEAR BLOOMS HOUSE, 3:05PM

"There he is!" Darcy said.

"Finally. Took him long enough." Stormy replied.

"Lets grab him." Icy said. The trio came swiftly from the bushes, and ran up tot the man just as he put the vacuum in his trunk. "Hey, you!"

The man saw them approach, and instantly recoiled. "Whoa, whoa, whoa! I don't want any trouble now, I'm just a salesman." He said holding his hands up.

"We need your help." Darcy said.

The man blinked in surprise. "Need... my help? With what?" He asked.

"In that house over there-" Icy pointed to Bloom's house. "-there is someone we need to talk to. Could you maybe get her outside?"

"That house? Sorry I can't." The man said. "Mike, the guy who lives there, is a great friend of mine, and we've had an agreement that I won't try and sell things at his house." Nate shrugged.

"Then could you tell us something else then." Icy continued. "There is a red-headed girl in there, could you tell us her name?"

"Hm? Oh Bloom? That's Mike's daughter. Why do you ask?" He asked.

Icy was drawing a blank, but Stormy quickly recovered. "We found something she dropped at the street fair." She said. "We tried to call after her, but she didn't hear us."

"Oh, alright. I don't know if she's home yet, school doesn't get out for another 15 minutes or so." Nate said. "Anything else I can help you ladies with?"

Icy shook her head. "No, thank you very much." Nate nodded, got in his car and left.

"Bloom. That's her name." Darcy said as Nate drove out of sight.

"We know her name, and we know where she lives." Stormy said.

"We also know who she lives with. At least a mother and a father." Icy said. "This has been a productive day." She smirked.

"How do we proceed? Should we go to her house and ask to see her?" Darcy asked.

"I don't know. Going by what Nate told us, Bloom shouldn't have left school for another 15 minutes, which means something happened that she had to go home early." Icy said.

"That vision that you had, on the sidewalk before Bloom left the school..." Stormy mused. "What if Bloom had that vision too? Or something like it?"

"Maybe Bloom got hurt, and that's why you had the vision of her in pain with the flames... maybe she burnt herself." Darcy tried.

"Hmm... good points...We should-" Icy's stomach cut her off with a loud grumble. "We should... find food I guess." The other two nodded and left the neighborhood.

-BLOOM'S HOUSE, 3:06PM

'Those guys... there they are again.' Bloom said, watching them talk to the man across the street. 'The same ones from the museum. Were they following me from the school?' She saw the blue-haired girl point at her house. 'What does she want with my house? Those three must have followed mom and I home from school, how would they know where I live?' Bloom sat down on her bed, taking her eyes off the trio outside. 'Who are they? What do they want with me?'
