Will got her pink hoodie, red pants and brown boots. Slipping the Heart of Candracar around her neck, she headed for the door. "Bye mom, I'm heading to the book store!" she said. When she heard her faint approval, she smiled and was about to reach for the door knob when suddenly someone knocked. She chuckled silently and opened the door to see Caleb at the door.

"Hey Caleb, what's up?" she said casually. 'Keep calm, keep calm...'

"Oh, you should know. We're going to the book store, right?" he said, brown eyes twinkling. Will remembered describing his eyes in her journal. Like a pair of stars hidden by brown clouds.

"Oh, right," she said, blushing.

Caleb nodded. "Then let's go!"

The two jogged silently to the book store. It shouldn't be a surprise that they went silently; they were jogging, so talking and jogging at the same time would only result in running out of breath, right?

Anyways, when they finally came to the store, Cornelia wrapped her arms around Caleb's neck immediately. "Oh, helllllllOOOOOO, Caleb," she cooed in his ear. Caleb forced a smile that Will did not let go unnoticed. "H-hi, Cornelia..." he choked and unwrapped himself from Cornelia. Will turned away, only to meet eyes with Hay Lin. Hay Lin gave Will a sympathetic look.

Unfortunately, Caleb noticed too.

"Hey, Will, anything wrong?" he said, walking over to her. Will saw Cornelia pout.

Will shook her head. "Yea," she lied. "I'm fine..."

Caleb looked hard at the suddenly-uncomfortable girl before him. "Ok..." he said, but he remained by her side.

As they went in, Will saw the "cute" guy that now worked at the store. He had longish blond hair, like Cornelia's except slightly shorter, which he kept in a poinytail. Thin black-rimmed glasses sat somewhere on his slender nose. Will thought nothing of him, and so apparently did the girls, but Cornelia gagged over him. Will noticed Caleb give the guy a look of disgust.

"Anything wrong?" she asked.

Caleb shook his head. "No..."

Will looked at him hard. "You're jealous."

Caleb looked at her, surprised. "Wha-" then he lumped. "Fine, you win. I AM jeaous. Kind of," he hastily added.

Will just shook her head. "She'll get over it..." she reassured him, though inside she really wished the opposite.

Caleb smiled at her reassurance. "Thanks Will..." he patted her lightly on her shoulder and went off.

A few minutes of watching, Will gave up. "I'm going home," she announced. "I have homework."

Caleb nodded. "Me too, I have to go; I'm checking for more portals..."

Will and Caleb brushed past each other as they walked out the door. They didn't dare look at each other's faces, though they were sure that their own were tomato-red.

When Will got home, she sat on her swivel chair and daydreamed once again, about you-know-who, until she heard a tapping on her window.

Grumbling silently, she opened it. She stuck her head out and looked around.

Suddenly, she saw a green, panting, little creature staring back at her with huge brown eyes. Will fell back with a surprised squeal, before realizing who it was.

It was Blunk, the garbage-eating little creature from the Maridian who helped whenever he could.

Will got up and brushed herself off. "Blunk?"

Blunk didn't stop panting."Will! Come quick!" he said. "Come to book store!"

"Why?"

Blunk waved his green hands. "Big trouble! Call Caleb!"

Will didn't stop to question. "Where are the other girls?"

Blunk's big eyes only widened. "That's the trouble!"

Will stumbled off her chair. "I'll be there. Get there as soon as you can, I'll call Caleb."

Blunk nodded obediently and rather seriously and his green head bobbed back down below her window sill.

Will fumbled for her cellphone. When she finally got the message through to Caleb, she ran as fast as she could. As she rounded a corner, she bumped into someone.

It was Caleb.

Without stopping, she beckoned to him "C'mon! Let's go!"

Both ran side by side now, not jogging, and they came by an old couple.

Will and Caleb left just in time to hear the old lady say "Ah, yes. How nice it would be to be young again." Will smiled at Caleb and he to her, then the two kept on running.

When they finally came to the store, they found Blunk on a bookshelf sucking on a piece of soiled rag. Will made a face.

"Over here!" Blunk said and scampered off to some random shelf. Will and Caleb followed swiftly.

When they got there, they looked at the spine of the book that had a strange writing on its spine, obviously the writing written in the Maridian. While Blunk blabbered to himself, Will looked at the book, then felt a wave of dizziness come over her. She fell back into Caleb, lifting a hand to her head. "Oohhh..." she murmured.

Caleb helped her back up. "You ok?" Will nodded silently, too dizzy to think about Caleb's hands on her slim shoulders.

Wth Caleb's hand on her arm, she reached out for the book only to be consumed by a flash of bright light, and she and Caleb dissappeared.

Blunk was still blubbering when he realized that Caleb and Will were not there anymore.

"No girl here, no girl there-" then he looked down for Caleb and Will and gasped when he saw they were gone as well. His eyes widened with horrification. "Now no Caleb!"

Will and Caleb had landed in a maze of bookshelves.

Will stood up and brushed herself. Caleb did the same. "Weird..." Will mused as she looked around. Suddenly she tripped over something. "Eek!" she yelped and waited for the huge impact to occur.

It never did.

Instead she fell into Caleb's arms.

"Whoa, a little clumsy, aren't we?" he said playfully. Will just blushed and stood up. She looked to see what she had tripped over. She gasped.

It was a piece of yarn.

Will bent down, lifted one end and inspected the strand. She noticed it lead on into another aisle. She also noticed the color.

"Caleb?"

Caleb turned around. "Yea?"

"Isn't this the color of Cornelia's sweater?" Will asked, inspecting the forest green of the piece of yarn. Caleb bent down beside her. "Yea, I think it is..."

Will stood up. "They must have been here, then used Cornelia's sweater, took it apart into string and left one end here, taking the other end with them in case they got lost!" Will said. Caleb nodded. "I think you're right..."

Will dropped the strand of green, then summoned the Heart of Candracar to transform. "Guardians, wherever you are, let me find you, safe and sound," she murmured so that only Caleb could hear, then closed her eyes as she felt the air around her lift her up. She felt herself change. Caleb had to cover his eyes to avoid the flash of pink. When he uncovered his eyes, he was staring at the ever-beautiful Will. Will just blushed at his stare, then pointed to the string. "We have to follow that string!" and the two were off.
