SOOOO much stuff I wanna say.

GtaTemp guy: Why am I still here?

Me: Because I like torturing you.

GtaTemp guy: I'm just gonna leave now...

(Tries to leave page, gets sucked into computer)

GtaTemp guy: AHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Me: Yes, I know! I am evil!

GtaTemp guy(GT for short): No, I was screaming because that was the LEAST ORIGINAL PLOT I'VE EVER SEEN! YOU TOTALLY RIPPED OF JUMANJI! THE PLAGIARISM IS KILLING ME!

Me: (sighs) Ladies and Gents, it looks like we've got a theater buff on our hands.

GT: The proper term is movie fanatic.

Me: Could you die already?

GT: No

Me: Alright, fine. But one rule: Don't diss shrek.

GT: Shrek? You mean that animated cash grab in my garbage can?

The following scene is considered to be to violent and inappropriate for younger audiences. It also involves quite a lot of bears being shot out of cannons and the author attempting to private message a man covered in mallowmelt to A very obsessed fangirl. So we have decided to have our 5 year old resident Timmy and his grandmother Nana, kidnapped from Dav Pilkey, straight from the captain underpants series, to describe it.

T: So the crazy man is trying to have this big green dude eat this other dude, and now they just threw a... what the heck was that nana?

N: Oh my! That author is certainly demented. Well, I think he just threw a small, fuzzy grey creature at him. Maybe it's a hedgehog.

T: Cool! Now he's shooting bears out of this big round metal thingy-

N: A cannon, dear.

T: And the bears seem to be colored periwinkle. Ooh! It's elmo! Wait, nana, why is the author trying to eat elmo?

N: That wasn't elmo dear. That was the author covering that poor man in a marshmellow-like substance.

T: And now he's stuffing him into an envelope!

N: I'm calling the asylum.

I'm baaaaack!

(Nobody is happy)

Sorry about that. I had to send Timmy and Nana back to Dav Pilkey before they could report me.

I just sent GT to A very obsessed fangirl through private messaging, I hope she reads this or she'll be very confused.

Now to actually respond to the comment:

HeartWarmLucy: Thank you! I didn't know anyone else enjoyed my sense of humor. I'll try, but I can't promise whatever I'll do will be legal ;)

I'm going on vacation, so I figured I should post this now before I go into a different time zone. But because my mortal enemy, socializing, lurks at every corner, I WILL KEEP WRITING! I LOVE TO WRITE AND...WILL...NEVER...STOP!

As well, I thought that everybody should know that I try to update my profile every chapter. It's full of original and funny(at least by my standards) content that I work hard on, and it will always include a sneak peek for the next chapter.

Also, there was some authors I forgot to mention that I really liked. Cary Swirls and EmeraldPiggily, this chapter is dedicated to you.

EmeraldPiggily, I completely agree that pigususes rule the world. I bow down to my pigusus overlords.

Now, on with the book!

Two

Sophie took a deep breath. Then another. Then another. Eventually, she collapsed on her bed, possibilities filling her mind.

Why did Fitz want to meet with her?

Immediately, her heart reminded her of the "Love, Fitz" part of the letter.

No! her mind told her heart. Stop it! You just became friends again, he wouldn't move so soon!

Sadly, her heart would not stop.

Stupid heart.

It had been a month since Keefe went into a coma, and they hadn't heard a peep out of the Neverseen.

Which made it all the more suspicious... her mind argued.

No it doesn't! her heart responded.

Keefe was right. The heart was really annoying.

Sophie started playing with the ribbon, which, she remembered, was their secret way of communicating when...

When they were together, her triumphant heart squealed.

Sophie relented, and headed to meet up with Biana.

On her way out of Havenfield, Grady called to her from the kitchen.

"How's that boy doing?" he asked quietly.

Sophie looked shocked.

"Grady! You just talked about Keefe in a slightly affectionate way! What's gotten into you?"

"Well, this doesn't mean he gets to be within 5 feet of you on my watch," he argued.

Sophie laughed and gave Grady a hug.

"I'll be at Everglen. I need to check in with Biana.'

"Okay, but no going near-"

"That boy, I know, dad."

As she headed out to the pastures, she could've sworn she had seen a twinkle of affection in his eye.

As Sophie walked towards Everglen, Tam suddenly appeared out of thin air

"Tam!" She squealed. "Don't scare me like that!"

"Sorry," he replied sheepishly. "I didn't mean to."

"I knew he was there the whole time." Sandor observed.

"So what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?" Sophie asked.

"Well, I made some progress on Keefe."

Sophie stopped in her tracks.

"Tell me everything," she exclaimed, moving closer to Tam.

Tam backed up a little bit.

"Well, I managed to send in some shadowflux-"

"Hold up, shadowflux is what caused the echoes I had, right?"

"Unfortunately, yes. But it can be used for good and evil. It's just a tool."

Sophie shuddered, remembering the nightmares her echoes gave her.

"So, as I was saying, I sent in shadowflux, and it... reacted."

"What do you mean "reacted"? In a good way or a bad way?"

"Neither, his mind was simply agravated by the shadowflux. I think it upset the balance of dark and light that was created in the transformation."

"So then what?"

"Well, it temporarily activated his mind, and for a split second, Tiergan could see what he was thinking of."

"And what was he thinking of?"

Tam paused for a moment, as if he didn't like the answer.

"You."

"To be specific, he was replaying a memory of you hugging him, over and over. Tiergan said that it was a advanced method among telepaths, where if one of them was trapped in a coma, they would replay a memory of a loved one or family member to keep their sanity intact." Tam more or less mumbled, not looking at her.

Sophie blushed to the tips of her ears, just like Dex. She had always been like a sister to Keefe, her mind reassured her. But her heart was baaaaaaaack.

You know you like him, her heart said.

Shut up, said her mind.

No can do. And you know what? I think he likes you too. said her heart.

Really? said her mind.

Finally, we agree on something. said her smug heart.

That didn't mean anything! her mind quickly added.

"Shut up, me!" Sophie yelled, a bit louder than she would've liked.

Tam looked at her curiously.

"Sorry, I'm just arguing with myself." Sophie squeaked.

Tam nodded.

"Happens to the best of us."

"So now what?"

"Well, Elwin and Livvy said it was too risky to try again, but I'll see what else I can do."

"Okay, see you later."

Tam seemingly vanished back into shadow.

"I wish I knew how he does that," Sophie sighed.

"I do." replied a smug Sandor.

As Sophie continued walking, Wylie approached her.

"Is today "Interrupt Sophie while she's walking day" or something?" Sophie joked to Sandor.

"Actually, I have to talk to Sandor," replied Wylie. "We have some unconfirmed sightings of goblins working for the neverseen, so we need to see if there were any incidents or rebellions that might have caused it."

While Sandor and Wylie were talking, Sophie thought about what Wylie had said.

Goblins working for the neverseen? That didn't make sense. Usually when she thought of goblins, she thought of them as on their side. The queen had been quite receptive when they visited the goblin capital. But then, there was the possibility of a rebel group...

Sandor and Wylie seemed to finish up, and Wylie walked away in a flash of white light.

"Seriously, does everyone need to leave in some dramatic, unique way?" Sophie joked.

Sandor just shook his head and grinned.

"How good are your senses anyway?" asked Sophie.

"I can sense one person with a knife approaching from, in human measurements, 200 miles away."

"Now that's impressive."

All of a sudden, they approached a pair of glaring gates, seemingly shining with all the light in the world.

Sophie smiled, shielding her eyes.

"We're here."

Sophie's eardrums would never forget the sound that Biana made when she told her.

Alden, Della, Dex, and her entire platoon of bodyguards came running towards them at once.

"Sophie! Biana! Are you okay?" they all said at once.

Sophie and Biana looked at each other and fell down in a round of laughing.

"No, we're fine. Biana just squealed." Sophie barely managed to get out through tears of laughter.

"Well, what exciting news could have possibly warranted that?" Alden inquired.

Sophie and Biana looked at each other uncomfortably.

Sophie stuttered, "Well, um-"

All of a sudden, chaos erupted.
