Day: October 23nd, 11:00 Pm.

Countdown: 6 days, 1hour.

Simon hobbled up to the mansion. He looked around and saw Zuria's carriage. "Heh seems like she found out that the music was coming from here too." Simon briefly thought. Simon Noticed hundreds of neon lights pointing to Jacks Mansion saying everything that should not be said by a man that was plotting to take over the world. Things like, "Hey evil Overlord over here!" And "We have a dulahan!" Were plastered up in giant flashing neon lights along with giant arrows pointing to the mansion.

"The stupidity of it all. I seriously have to get a raise." Simon said out loud as he walked to the Door.

"Hey Simon, ever get tired of being a buzzkill?" Jack asked as he opened the door. His movements were sluggish and he was barely on his feet. Simon could smell the alcohol in the air around him.

"Hey Jack, ever get tired of being a Worthless drunk?" Simon replied sarcastically.

"Hehehe he sure told you Jack." Pitch said walking out of the shadows.

"Shut it Pitch, are you done with Bunny? And kid my sobriety is none of your business Kid." Jack grunted as he almost fell down. Pitch told Jack something in his ear but Simon interrupted.

"Aren't you supposed to be worried about the guardians suddenly showing up and stopping us?" Simon asked genuinely worried.

"Yep." Jack boasted.

"And you don't think that being drunk given our current situation is at all dangerous?" Simon said as his temper began to flair.

"I have no idea what your talking about." Jack said in a abnormally high pitched voice.

"Well you know since the only thing keeping the guardians out right now is the fact that there is a heavy storm out right now." Simon said in an angry tone.

"You see right there, that is what I'm talking about. Buzz kill." Jack complained.

"Well maybe I would be less likely to kill your buzz if you were less Buzzed while people out there are trying to kill us." Simon yelled

"Geese kid think about it, the storm is turning every person out there into a immortal piece of creaming garden decoration, and so far nothings gotten through." Pitch butted in.

"Ah your right we should just not worry at all and completely leave our selves defenseless at this point. It isn't as if they have some way to teleport anywhere they want to right?" Simon snapped at Pitch.

"Right. Wait? No, shut up you little brat." Pitch snapped back.

"Ay ay ay You don't get a say at him, go away and do something productive you drunken waist of space." Jack interrupted.

"That's right kettle listen to the pot." Simon smirked.

"Ay you shut it you cheeky little brat." Pitch replied.

"Oh boy. I'm going to find Zuria at least she has some common sense." Simon said as he walked past Jack into the mansion.

"Oh come on boy we are just joking around" Pitch chuckled.

"Hey get home before dark will ya you know your mum worries." Pitch slurred.

Simon continued into the mansion until he was out of earshot.

"Sarcastic little snot isn't he?" Pitch chuckled.

"Yeh. He gets it from his mum." Jack said before he walked off into the darkness muttering something about getting more drinks for company he was expecting.

Simon looked around for Zuria for a while before he stumbled upon a room he had never seen before. It was filled with pictures that were covered up. "Nope not going in there." Simon thought as he passed by.

Simon found Zuria in the hallway smashed up against the wall.

"Zuria!" Simon rushed to her side. He grabbed her shoulders and shook her a little. She seemed to perk up but it was evident she was in pain,

"Zuria what happened?" Simon asked in a panicked state.

"We were moving Bunny to another place and he got a little rowdy." Zuria said in his head.

Simon grabbed Zuria in a tight hug. He knew she like him, even to the point of going above and beyond the call of lunacy but For him to brush her kindness off like what he did at the house and send her away after she had been worrying about him was just wrong of him to do. And now seeing her like this told Simon that no matter what happened any moment he spent with her could be their last. The thought worried Simon, the thought scared Simon.

"Hey Zuria. I have something to ask. Maybe when all of this mess is sorted out, and when Jack is victorious maybe would mind settling down somewhere." Simon asked.

An exited puff of smoke shot out of her neck.

"Ah but don't get to far ahead of yourself. We have to win this thing first." Simon smiled.
