"WOW! This is great, we get to see Pirika and the others!" HoroHoro exclaimed. "And I'll get some answers from Alyssa and Hao!" Yoh said, excitedly. "Master Yoh, what's a party?" Amidamaru asked. "YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT A PARTY IS?" HoroHoro and Ryu yelled, and everyone turned to look at them.

"Well, what do you expect? He is a 600-year old ghost!" said a very familiar voice, which belonged to a certain light-brown haired girl.

"ANNA!" Yoh exclaimed, as he hugged his fiancée. "Yoh, get off me!" Anna ordered. "Yes, Anna," Yoh obliged, as he let go of her.

"HOROHORO!" Pirika yelled, as she jumped on her older brother. "Hey, Pirika!" HoroHoro gasped, since Pirika was blocking off his air supply.

"Miss, Jun!" Ryu exclaimed, as he ran over to Ren's older sister, but was tripped by Ren. "Hello, everyone!" Jun greeted, as she made her way over to Ren.

"Let's all go back to the hotels, where we are staying at," Tamao suggested, shyly. "Alright!" HoroHoro quickly agreed.

"Hey, Anna, do you know anyone by the name Alyssa or Hao?" Yoh asked, curiously! "I do, Alyssa is my twin sister..." Anna trailed off. "WHAT!" Yoh and HoroHoro yelled, as Anna sat on her bed in her hotel room.

"I didn't know you had a twin sister!" Manta said, with a surprised look on his face. "Then, who's this Hao guy?" Yoh asked, as a voice came from the doorway.

"I am your twin brother, older by three minutes!" the voice in the doorway said. "HAO!" Manta exclaimed, as he looked at the girl beside him, with shoulder-length, dark, purple hair.

"Alyssa, I see you've dyed your hair again!" Anna said, sourly, making a disgusted face. "Hey, to you, too, Anna-chan!" Alyssa greeted, uncannily. "..." Anna sighed, at her three minute older sister. "I like the color purple, the first time I dyed my hair it was a light purple, the second time, it was a light green, and I cut it to my neck, this time I put it dark purple. I just dyed it an hour or so ago. As your little friends already know. Though, you have to admit it doesn't look that bad, though, I do, like my original, dark, brown hair color better, especially since it's natural that way! The next time I dye my hair, I'll dye it the same color as yours, Anna-chan, that way, we'll really look alike!" Alyssa smirked. "..." Anna sighed again.

"Now, that I think about it, Alyssa and Anna look nothing alike," Ryu said. "You're right" Tamao agreed.

"If you think I'm mean, then you don't know Alyssa. She acts like she's nice, but she's meaner than me. Especially, if you make her mad, then she'll kill you, and sometimes she'll kill you for no reason, just for the heck of it, you don't see any of her friends not listening to her, do you?" Anna asked. "She WHAT?" Ryu exclaimed! "You got luck, Ryu!" Anna said, as she looked at her purple-haired twin.
