*********************************************************************** When Babbit woke up, it was morning. She inspected the room, and found the candle that had been there the night before was missing. She thought for a moment, and remembered what had happened. She mentally chided herself for crying like a little kid. She wondered if her father's opinion of her had lowered. Sighing, she walked out of the room, going to the kitchen.
"Good morning, Babbit." Yeshta smiled as Babbit entered the kitchen.
"Good morning, mother." Babbit said, walking over to her. "What is this that you're making?" Yeshta smiled.
"I don't know." She answered, and turned back to the pan she was frying on the stove. "It seems to be some variety of stir-fry meal."
"What?" Babbit stared at her mother in confusion.
"Well, last night, I had a dream that Rezo asked me to make this for breakfast. It sounded delicious, so I decided to try it." Yeshta explained, and sprinkled sliced almonds in to the pan. Babbit sat down at the table, making a face. Why can everyone see Rezo except me? She thought irately. Because of the Anti-Rezo spell on me, of course. She reminded herself. Slipper... If you don't take this spell off me, I'm going to kill you. Painfully. Her expression turned vengeful. Yeshta set a plate of the strange looking stir-fry in front of Babbit.
"Let me know how it came out, okay?" She smiled.

"I'm leaving now." Babbit announced after breakfast had been eaten, and she had gathered her things again.
"So soon?" Zelgadiss looked up from his cup of tea.
"Yes father, and I do not know when I will be back." She stood in the doorway, trying to be strong. She was not ready to leave her family, but she wanted to find Slipper as soon as she could.
"Be careful okay?" Yeshta said worriedly.
"I will, mother. Farewell." She bowed to them respectfully, then turned and left the room. She walked down the hall without pausing and left the house. This time, Froy wasn't on the porch with his flute. She sighed quietly, and walked down the road. She decided to go back to Atlas City and see if Pickle knew where Slipper was. Hopefully, she wouldn't get caught in the service of "Shabernigdo" again.

Can Babbit-chan find Slipper again? Will she kill him? R&R, please!
