When the monks had packed up their stuff they joined Linetra and the twins to travel again by train, this time towards Halloween Town. Erik was very quiet during the ride and made Linetra wonder why "Raoul, what's up with Erik?" The skeleton sighed "I really don't know". While Linetra and Raoul were chatting, the monks were trying to come up with a plan.

"Come on guys," Po Kan said. "Pull yourselves together, Master Zometa will be fine." "You're sure Po? Cuz what I think, he wanted to get rid of us for good" said Tatsu Goke angrily. "But Master Zometa would never do that, he's too honourable" Kinatsu Godatsu said worriedly. "Kinatsu's right, Tatsu, you're the one who wanted to leave the Konshu temple for good" Kan Tsu said, making Tatsu mad.

Erik watched the monks fight for a while when he returned to his thoughts 'How can I tell Linetra what I feel for her' he sighed. Raoul walked towards him, "What do you want Raoul?" "I was just wandering why were you quiet all this time" Erik gave a glare to his twin "It's non of your business" He walked away from his brother, Erik walked around the train and stumbled on someone, making them both fall.

Erik rubbed the back of his skull, "Ow, monsieur, don't you care for..." "Who are you calling mister?" The person Erik stumbled on was a ragdoll; she had light blue skin, light green eyes and brown hair. Erik felt embarrassed of calling a lady a man. "I'm dearly sorry, mademoiselle" He helped her get up in a gentleman way. "Thanks" Erik paused for a moment when the ragdoll gave him a confused look. "Mon cheri, do you know when this train will stop in Hallowen Town?" "Please mister, call me Nicole and, I think the train will be in Halloween Town for a few more hours"

"Thank you, Nicole" Erik bowed to her and walked back to the group. Nicole got a weird chill on her spine when Erik left 'Who was that guy? It doesn't matter now, I hope Daddy is doing ok '
