Eugene: Ok, so surprise! Ren ended up arriving at the Neathian palace first thing! And as I was saying-

Fabia: Wait a moment, Eugene, but why is Ren here in the introduction?

Eugene: Well, he's here because- *realizes something* wait, WHAT? O.O HOW THE HECK DID HE GOT HERE?

Fabia: I don't know! But he was definitely doing- something.

Eugene: *sighs* Better go check… AFTER THIS CHAPPIE! ONWARD TO CHAPTER 2!

Fabia was very surprised at Ren Krawler's arrival.

"Um, hi there, Fabia. I hope that I'm not late." Ren greeted. With him, he had a dark gray bag consisting a sleeping bag and a few things.

"Late? What for?" Fabia asked in confusion.

"For that slumber party!"

"Oh, that." She finally realized. She cleared her throat. "Don't worry about it, Ren, you're not late. In fact, you're actually early. Well, a little too early.."

"What do you mean?" Ren asked, now confused.

"Didn't you read my message? The slumber party's actually on Saturday and today's Wednesday.. you came here a few days earlier than I thought.." Fabia pointed out, lingering off at the end. Ren's eyes widened.

"Damn it! No wonder the date looks so weird!" He realized. "I was just done washing up when I got the message and since my Bakumeter had a bit of water on the screen, I thought the word 'Saturday' looked a lot like 'Wednesday' from the droplets! I can't believe I fell for that.." He sighed.

"It's ok, Ren. I'm glad that you came early, anyway." Fabia smiled a bit. "Besides, I'll need some assistance preparing for the real slumber party before Dan and the others arrive.. want to help me?"

Ren exhaled in reassurance. "Sure. I'll be glad to."

Because Ren arrived a few days early, he was allowed to stay at the palace for a few nights before the official slumber party begins on the upcoming Saturday. For a few hours, Fabia and Ren prepped up one of the castle's spare rooms into a slumber party "paradise". With ideas from a few chick flicks that Fabia found on her stay on Earth (yes, they usually have a slumber party as one of the scenes!), they managed to set up a flat screen cobalt and crystal-like TV on the wall, a Wii and a couple video games, a small shelf containing a couple popular movies, a mini-fridge filled with late-night snacks, a monopoly game, a flashlight for ghost stories, and of course, many fluffy pillows for an extreme pillow fight!

"Finally, everything's ready." Ren said, admiring the room. "What do you think, Fabia?"

"Yes, it is complete." She replied. Fabia then started to feel tired. It must be from the Neathian heat. "I'm just going to have to take a walk around the outside of the palace for a moment. I'll be right back." She left the room, stepping into the cool fresh air. However, what she didn't know was that something completely heartbreaking will happen..

Eugene: Um, Ren? What are you doing here? O.O

Ren: *groans* Don't tell me that you forgotten! I was supposed to be with Fabia for your chapter a few minutes ago!

Eugene: … *finally realizes it* Crap, I forgot. XP Note to self: ALWAYS remember the last thing it happened.
