Ashley, Link, Antonio, Sen and some of the crew were on the sofa and watching an anime on my laptop, while the twins, Oscar and Dino were playing around with the DS. I suddenly come in and wave around a letter for everyone to see.

'' Now?'' Antonio pouted, his look quickly returning to the laptop screen before Ashley could pause the show.

'' Alright, go on,'' she waved her hand, seeming slightly bored.

CubanCracker62: Hey Ashley,
You mentioned that you draw and write when you and your crew were in Cool Ranch. I'm assuming that you don't have pencils in the Spiral, but did you have to adjust to using charcoal or a quill and ink after ending up in the Spiral? If so, did you have any issues with the switch?
PS, As promised in my last message, some more cookies for you guys. :) Be sure to share!

A pop of smoke suddenly appeared by my feet, revealing a box full of cookies.

'' Hello!'' I said in surprise.

'' Cookies!'' Lily and Mindy launched the DS in the air and rushed to the box.

'' Ack!'' Ashley shouted for the concern of her console's health, only to sight in relief as Dino catches it.

'' Got it!'' he smirked, leaning over the sofa uncomfortably. Ashley nods to him, then turns to the twins, munching on the treats.

'' Hey, don't eat all of them you gluttons!'' Antonio said and snatched the box. While the others helped to themselves, Ashley replied to the question:

'' So, paying attention to detail, are we? Marvelous! And yeah, I had to adjust to the quills, especially the one's Fair used. Their faded a bit and the decorated tip is horrifyingly smudgy, but I don't complain ( also I like using the wax signatures, hehe~) . Although the charcoal is a whole different story. It took some time before I got used to it, not to mention after every sketch I need to spray it with this concoction so it wouldn't fade off. You know how it is with charcoal...'' Antonio hands her a cookie.

'' Oh, and thanks for the treats! By the way, I think these two found a certain fondness to your culinary skills,''

TheDiamondWriter: Savannah: Hi everyone! Um, I hope we're not disturbing you with anything...

Elizabeth: Mia and Michael's younger sister Cami brainstormed a few new questions. She's sick so we're going to fill in for her.
James Rose: Ok then! Let's get this started:
1. What is your LEAST fav. world?

'' My word, let's see,'' Ashley started tapping her chin with her index finger. '' I'd say Monquista...maybe?''

'' Azteca. It's too much for me when I see that meteor stuck behind the barrier,'' Antonio says.

'' Uh...Celestia,'' the twins answer.

'' Polaris. Nothing but a cold war will I ever see riding on it's winds,'' Sen answers.

'' Mirage,'' Oscar gestures. '' Can't stand the illusions and heat,''

'' Darkmoor,'' Dino replies.'' Ashley's lucky she didn't come across it yet, I bet she'd lie under her bed through the whole Book,''

'' Oi!'' Ashley looked insulted.

'' You're not fooling anyone, we saw how you react to the undead,''

2. Any special nicknames? (Detective name, spy name, star name etc.) In Marleybone Savannah's detective name is Detective Savannah of the Star light.
Savannah: No! Shh!
Mia: She became an Honorary Detective in Marleybone when she...
Michael: By herself, defeated the Napoleguin of crime...
Savannah: No! You-
Mia and Michael: Meowiarty!
Savannah: Did... Yes... I admit it...
Michael: At least we didn't tell anyone that we saved the queen in Barkingham Palace... Oops...

Ashley is giggling.'' Savanah, we'd make a wonderful team. Well, I am known as The Purple Panther in Marleybone for whatever reason. I haven't dug too deep into it yet,''

'' I have one, but I'm not telling it,'' Antonio crosses his arms.

'' You don't,'' Lily purses at him.

'' Do to!'' the swashbuckler's eyes narrow.

'' Ok, fine, sheesh,'' Mindy says to him.'' I do call Lily Quick-shot whenever in a battlefield sometimes.''

'' And I call her Eye-sight!'' Lily points to her sister.'' Nothing too fancy, but it does confuse the enemy,''

Anna: Ok... Let's try this...:
3. What is your fav. Disney and/or Dreamworks movie from the 1930's to 1989? (Animation, Live action, Hybrid, Documentary, Disneynature) I'm going with Oliver and Company and maybe Snow White.
Savannah: My favourites are kinda obvious- The Great Mouse Detective and Mary Popins.
James: Aladdin, pretty nice movie.
Elizabeth: Cinderella, the old version that is.

'' You guys have pretty damn good questions today! Let's see...The Sword and the Rose. Because I made a ridicules face when finding out it's actual Disney. As for DreamWorks...It's gotta be Road to El Dorado,'' Ashley smirks.

'' For Disney: Ten Who Dared, DreamWorks: Prince of Egypt,'' Antonio replies.

'' Peter Pan! Yes!'' Lily says excitedly.

'' And The Peacemaker!'' Mindy adds to her sister.

'' Westward Ho the Wagons,'' Sen says.'' And for DreamWorks it might be...Paulie. It's amusing,''

'' Alladin and I don't have anything for DreamWorks...''

'' I'd say Gladiator and Robin Hood,'' Dino shrugs.

Victoria Dawn: Final questions:
1. What is your favourite celebration?

Ashley speaks up in a merry tone. '' Christmas~!''

'' Halloween!'' the twins shout.

'' Las Fallas. It's a Valencian celebration...'' Antonio rubs his neck.

'' Probably also Christmas,'' Dino mutters in thought.

'' Dia de Los Muertos, or, as we call it, Day of the Dead,'' Sen says.

'' The Celtic New Year,'' Oscar smiles. '' You should really visit Grizzleheim at that time, the fun is never-ending,''

2. What is your favourite type of candy?

'' Anything but mint. I hate strong mint,'' Ashley answers.

'' Sour. It's hilarious to watch how we react to them, hehe,'' Lily and Mindy laugh.

'' Something with caramel, I guess,'' Dino says.

'' Err...spicy. Yeah, we have those,'' Antonio answers.

'' None,'' Sen mutters.

'' Chilling like mint, and I do love the one's with different éclairs in them,''

Stephanie: Ok, we have to go now. It was great seeing you all again!
Natalie: Oh almost forgot! Here! Have these chocolate cupcakes!
Natalie gives a box of chocolate cupcakes and then leaves with her friends.

'' Oh brilliant!'' Dino grabs one before the twins do. He snatched a couple spare one's in spare time and handed them to Ashley, Antonio, Subodai and Sarah. I stare at them with a raised eyebrow, look at the boxes they've got today, then turn and shout to the guests.

'' Hey, is this the way you hint me to finally release another long-awaited chapter?'' I think for a bit.'' Fine, vacation's over. I've pulled your legs long enough I guess...''
