"Jill! Hellloooooo....! Jillllll!!!"

"Do you think she's going to wake up?"

"Of course!"

"HEY JILL!!!"

"Nice one, Muffy! I think she's waking up!"

"H-huh?" I opened my eyes slowly, and saw the faces of Lumina, Muffy, and Celia looking back down at me. I blinked several times to make sure I wasn't seeing things.

"Yaaaaay!!! She's awake! Your awake! Thank the heavens above she's awake!" sang Muffy, spinning around until Celia bonked her on the head. "Ow..." she mumbled quietly, then perked right back up.

"What am I doing here? What about...the forest...the guy...the portal..." I stammered, none of this making sense to me.

"You, uh...you were in the forest by Mineral Town, and...." started Lumina, who broke off and then looked at Muffy.

"Well, um...Rock kind of found you, and..." she broke off and looked at Celia, who sighed and finished with,

"He found you and started to take you to Mineral Town, and then Skye found you and...we found him like, hugging you..." whispered Celia, who sounded appalled at the very thought.

I pretended to sound awed and disgusted, but inside I was thinking, Awwwwww!!! Well, at least I had one thing cleared up: apparently I must have eaten something really weird because that was the weirdest dream I'd ever had in my life! Also, Skye wasn't gone anymore!

Wait, why doesn't that seem right...? Oh, well!

"In celebration of your awakening, we should all go for ice-cream!!!" announced Celia, grinning widely.

"Yessss!!!" I cheered, thinking about how awesome my friends were.


At the ice-cream parlor in the next town over, there was a TV above the counter, and the news happened to be on. We ate our ice-cream while watching, and suddenly, I saw something so shocking that the scoop I had on my spoon fell with a plop on the table.

"We are happy to report that the renowned thief, Phantom Skye has been captured! He is being held at the Mineral Town jail, and faces a year in prison for his countless heists in several towns."

The rest of the report was just buzzing to me. C-caught...? This can't be happening!!!

Author's Note: Nothing much to say except I'm really hating my story now and kind of don't want to continue anymore... But anyway, yeah this chapter is short, but it's just a transition from the craziness of the past (suckish) chapters. Whoop-dee-doo.
