"Where'd my stupid paper go?"

"How'd my window get open? I didn't open it…"

"Wait…. Did it fly out the window when I wasn't looking?"

Raven Bagels ran outside in the middle of the night to look for a drawing reference sheet she had printed out. It was raining, but the girl didn't mind it. She had been outside in the rain hundreds of times to look for spiders as a kid. After looking on the street for what felt like an hour in the dark, Raven found a piece of paper. She took it inside, assuming it was her reference sheet, but when she turned on the light, she saw that it was really a flyer for a freak show called the Cirque du Freak. The flyer was well-designed and had a spider on it. That was the first thing Raven saw on the flyer that interested her. The second was the date the performance was on, which just so happened to be the next day.

Raven, instead of going back to drawing, ran the quarter mile trip to her best friend Sarah Puppet's house. It didn't matter that it was one in the morning, Raven knew that Sarah would be up watching horror movies or something. When she slammed the door to the Puppets' house, Raven saw Sarah sitting at the top of the staircase on her MacBook Air with headphones in.

Sarah, noticing Raven's arrival, removed her headphones and accidentally fell down the stairs in excitement, landing at Raven's feet. The two started laughing loudly, only to realize that is was one in the morning, and that they might wake up Sarah's they crept up the stairs and into Sarah's bedroom. The walls and ceiling were completely covered in monster movie posters, the floor littered with crumpled up paper. Sarah was also an artist.

"Hey Sarah, you got some new posters?" Raven cleared a spot on the floor by kicking the paper across the room and sat down.

"Yup. The guy from the movie theater gave them to me for free! Can you believe it?"

"Nope. But I got something to show you, I found it in the street a few minutes ago." Raven showed Sarah the flyer. She studied it for a few seconds.

"Woah! Do you think we can get tickets in time?"

"Wait, tickets?"Raven was confused.

"Don't you want to see the show?"

"Yeah, I guess…"

"Then let's see how much money we have!" Sarah searched around her room, and Raven emptied her pockets. Together they had exactly $30, enough for two tickets.
