BBBRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNGGGGGG!

Maron jumped up, panting and looking around. Her alarm clock rang like crazy on her bedside table. These were the few times when her alarm clock actually woke her up. But she knew that wasn't the real reason why she woke up immediately.

Fin!

Shejumped out of her bed and looked everywhere for Fin, praying that what her nightmare showed her wasn't real. She darted left and right, calling out Fin's name. The day was still new, so she had time later to get ready for school.

"Fin! Fi―"

A note lay on the coffee table just beside the candy box. She picked it up and quickly read it. It was from Fin.

Maron,

Just went out to get some fresh air as usual. I'll be back later!

Fin :)

Jeanne looked up and read the note again. Fin never left notes when she went out. Fin doesn't even leave the house this early!

"Something's not right here… I just know it…" Maron muttered to herself, folding the letter.

"Who's Fin?"

Maron screamed, jumping and landing behind the sofa. Miyako was standing right behind her, arms on her hips and with scrutinizing eyes. She was already wearing her school uniform.

"Miyako! Don't scare me like that!" Maron cried in anger, throwing a pillow at her. Dodging it with just moving her head to the left, Miyako replied, "I noticed your door was open so I decided to come in." She walked towards the sofa and sat, crossed arms. "I need to let out my frustrations."

Eh…

"Frustrations about what?" Maron asked, sitting beside her. Miyako glared at her. "Who else! Kaitou Jeanne struck again!"

Maron stared, wide-eyed.

Eh!

"Kaitou Jeanne? When?" she asked.

"Last night, 8:00 p.m. just like she said in her warning."

But… I don't remember anything about going out last night…

Miyako stared at her. Their noses met.

"What?"

"You look worried."

Maron immediately snapped back and got up. "Gotta take a bath!" She ran into the bathroom and slammed the door. "Whew…" she sighed in relief.

Five minutes…

"Maron!" Fin appeared, smiling as usual. Maron looked up and when she saw that Fin was still Fin, she smiled widely and cried out, "Fin! You're home!" She hugged the little angel so tight. Fin, her voice muffled, screamed out words and flapped her arms to get out of her tight hug. Maron let her go, laughing and apologizing.

"I was so worried about you!"

"Really? Well that's a first…" Fin replied, giving her a smile. She was about to give Maron another hug when Maron stuck her finger at her.

"Where did you go and when did you start leaving notes? You never used to do that. You just disappear or you just stay here all day."

Fin, rubbing her face, replied, "Well I just thought it was more polite if I did that. You might've woken up earlier than usual and would get worried about where I was."

Maron looked at her skeptically and sighed. "Well, that's very thoughtful of you."

Suspicious…

"Maron! Hurry up we're gonna be late!" Miyako shouted from the living room.

"Gotta go Fin! See you later!" Maron waved and grabbed her backpack before closing the door behind her.
