Chapter 4
Emily's POV
"It's probably Serena!" I said, getting up, and running out of the house, Michelle and Kiki following close behind me. By the time we had reached the light, Serena had appeared, and was floating next to us. Her light caught the attention of Lucy and Coco, and they came running towards us. Serena waited until they were present, before she spoke.
"Emily, Michelle, Lucy, and Coco," she began, after clearing her throat. "You have another long journey ahead of you, and it may be harder and more dangerous than the first, but no worries, not only will I be accompanying you, but so will another sorceress, Kiki." Lucy and Coco turned to stare at Kiki, their eyes wide, and their mouths open.
"Hi..." Kiki said, waving. "I'm Kiki." Even though it was dark out, I could still see her face turning red.
"What kind of journey are we going on?" Coco asked. "Why are we taking this journey?"
"I was just getting to that," Serena told her. "An evil sorceress named Xiara has surfaced, and is now out to destroy the royal family, in order to take over the planet. We are heading to Michelle's castle to stop Xiara."

Michelle's POV
Now, everyone was staring at me, and my face was turning a tomato shade of red. Coco giggled, and elbowed ne. Serena waved her wand, and a large backpack dropped to the ground.
"I've taken the liberty of packing food, weapons, and other supplies to save time," Serena said to us. "That way, we can waste no time, and leave sooner."
"Did you pack the Oreos?" Lucy inquired.
"I did pack the Oreos," Serena answered.
"YES!" Lucy and I cheered, high-fiving each other. Serena face palmed, shaking her head while trying not to laugh.
"Yes, well," Serena said. "We have to leave right away. We don't know how far Xiara is from the castle. She could already be there, by now.

Emily's POV
"So you're like the Harry Potter of Animal Crossing," Lucy commented to Kiki, picking up the big, bulky, green backpack, and slinging it over her shoulder. "Do you have a cool scar?"
"Well, I'm not exactly like Harry Potter, considering the fact that both of my parents are still alive," Kiki replied, as we followed Serena to the gate. "But, I do have a scar." She pulled her shirt down on her left side, revealing a scar shaped like a shooting star on her shoulder.
"Wicked..." Lucy said, tilting her head for a better look.
"So, are you new in town, or did Serena send you here?" Coco asked, cutting in.
"I'm new here," Kiki replied, turning back to see that her new house was now just a dot in the distance. We had just walked through the gate, now leaving Meltokio again. Just when I thought that we could relax, and actually enjoy living here...
"We're on the road again," I said to myself softly, as Serena was leading us north to Michelle's castle, when Lucy, Coco, and Kiki started to sing.
"I AM ON MY WAAAAAAY," Lucy belted out.
"I CAN GO THE DISTANCE!" Coco sang along.
"I'LL BE THERE SOMEDAAAAAAY," Kiki sang.
"IF I CAN BE STRONG," I sang, joining in.
"I KNOW EEEEVERY MILE," Lucy sang.
"WILL BE WORTH MY WHILE," Coco sang.
"I WILL GO ALMOST EVERYWHERE," Kiki sang.
"TO FEEEEEEEL LIKE IIIIIII BELOOOOOOOONG," I belted out.
"Don't worry you guys, we'll be there before you know it," Michelle said to us. "My castle isn't too far from Meltokio."
"MICHELLE IS A COMBO BREAKER!" Coco whined jokingly.
"Oh, sorry!" Michelle responded defensively, before she started to sing. "I AM ON MY WAAAAAY-"
"THE DAMAGE IS ALREADY DONE!" Lucy whinged, also in jest. All of us burst out laughing as we continued walking.
