The school day at Regal Academy had drawn to a close, leaving the gang free to hang out and relax in the quad, without imminent threat of a bad grade or an evil plot. Soon enough the conversation drifted until Astoria set upon a topic: "So Rose, are you still collecting a keepsake from each adventure?" She questioned, her hair making air quotes to accentuate her point
"Of course!" Rose replied with her usual enthusiasm, "They're all so cool and awesome but it's still handy to have something that goes with each one."
"Really, I don't know how you do it Rose; how do you still have room for all of them?" Joy questioned, motioning with her hands to show size. "It was a small pumpkin chest, even if you do shrink it."
At this Hawk jumped in protesting on Rose's behalf, "There's nothing wrong with collecting souvenirs, my parents both do it and they're active heroes."
"I'm not saying there's anything wrong with souvenirs," Astoria defended, "However, your parents have several rooms, in a castle, filled; meanwhile Rose has one small pumpkin, that apparently still has room for more. The confusion comes from the fact that Rose doesn't seem to be using magic to make them fit, only to shrink and grow the pumpkin. You see the issue?"
"Ah, well…. Yeah Rose that's a little bit out of the ordinary." Hawk conceded, frowning at Rose, as if trying to discern how the chest housed everything. "Maybe some sort of alternate space dimension pocket…thing?" he suggested
At this Astoria rolled her eyes, "Don't be ridiculous Hawk, there's no such thing."
