"So, where should we go next?" Laura asked as she and Yaki walked out of Pruitt's store.

"Well," Yaki replied, "Are you hungry?"

Laura paused for a moment and heard her stomach rumbling. "Yes." She replied.

"Great! I know where we can get something really good to eat!"

Yaki led Laura to a building near the other side of the village. Above the door was a sign that said "Inn-Vacancies". Yaki and Laura walked in to find a man who was very short but was holding a staff much taller than him. He had brown hair and was wearing red and green clothing and a matching headband.

"Laura, this is my good friend Poad. He runs the Vash Naroom Inn, and he is also one of the Moonlands' best cooks!"

"Thank you, Yaki," the short one replied, "Hello, pleased to meet you, Laura. What region are you from?"

"Umm…" Laura started to say.

"She's not from the Moonlands," Yaki said swiftly, saving Laura from saying anything embarrassing, "She lost her home world, so she'll be staying here for a while. Anyway, we're starving. How about you cook something up for us?"

"Splendid idea! I'll make some Weebo soup! It's delicious!"

Poad waddled out of the room and into what Laura presumed was the kitchen. Laura then turned to Yaki and asked, "Umm, Yaki, what's Weebo soup?"

"It's like mushroom soup, except we use Weebos. Weebos are a type of Dream Creature that looks like an orange mushroom."

"But, that's mean to summon one just to kill it!"

Yaki seemed to be holding back a giggle. Laura realized that there was something she didn't know.

"There's something you're not telling me, isn't there?" she inquired impatiently.

"Yes," Yaki replied with a smile, "Yes there is. When Dream Creatures are destroyed, they disappear. Weebo soup has regular mushrooms in it, but a Weebo is put into the soup for a little bit so the soup absorbs the flavor. Weebos don't feel temperature, so it doesn't hurt them. When enough flavor is absorbed, The Weebo is taken out and either unsummoned or used to help serve the dish."

Just then, Poad walked out of the kitchen followed by a walking orange mushroom balancing a tray with three bowls of delicious-smelling soup on its head.

"Weebo soup's on!" said Poad, passing out a bowl to each of them. Laura looked at it uncertainly at first, then she dipped some onto her spoon and tasted it.

"It's delicious!" she exclaimed. Poad and Yaki nodded and started to eat their soup as well. Soon they had all finished and had seconds as well.

Later that night, Yaki and Laura were sitting on a hill near Vash Naroom looking up at the stars.

"They're beautiful…" Laura commented.

"Yeah," Yaki replied, "Where was your world?"

"Umm…I think it was over there." Laura pointed to part of the sky that had a constellation that seemed to be missing a star. Actually, many of the constellations were missing stars.

"I hope all of the worlds are restored soon…" Laura whispered.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine. In fact, I think-"

"Yaki!" a voice called out that Laura was unfamiliar with. Just then a girl with long red hair wearing green robes walked up the hill. She was carrying a staff with a blue crystal in the center.

"I've been looking for you all day," she said, "Where have you been?"

"Oh, hello Tryn," Yaki replied nonchalantly, "Sorry, I've been showing Laura around Vash Naroom. She's new here."

"Oh. Hello Laura, my name is Tryn, Daughter of Runes, but you can call me Tryn."

"Hi Tryn," Laura replied, "Nice to meet you."

"Hey Yaki, I need you to come with me tomorrow to check out some ruins I found near the border of Naroom and the Weave."

"Okay, great. May Laura come to?"

"I don't see why not. It should be fun."

"Okay, see you then."

"Goodbye!" and with that, Tryn walked away.

"Tryn seems nice." Laura commented optimistically.

"Yeah…" Yaki replied dreamily.

"Why is she called Daughter of Runes?"

"Huh? Oh. I don't know, but she's in charge of deciphering any runes found at ruins and places like that."

"I see…" Laura said, but she really didn't. Yaki seemed to zone out for a little bit. Suddenly, he snapped awake and said, "We need to get back. Tomorrow's going to be a big day. I have a spare room at my house you can stay in."

"Okay, that's great."

Laura followed Yaki back to his house. It looked small on the outside, but it was larger on the inside. Yaki showed her to a room in the back with a bed and some other furnishings. Laura was so tired, she fell asleep as soon as her head touched the pillow made out of grass.
