AN: Well my dear fans, so sorry for the wait! But without further ado~ Chapter three!

[Issa's POV]

I did not like the sound of that. It was never a good idea to put Grim in charge of an adventure. He'd have you to the end of the world and back before actually even starting to take you to the place you actually wish to be.

"What are you up to?"

He trotted behind me, jumping high enough to mount my shoulder.

"What have I told you about riding me?"

"That you absolutly love it and I should do it more often?"

I made a loud buzzer noise.

"The great Grimalkin is wrong everybody!"

I yelled at the top of my lungs, shrugging my shoulders, sending Grim to the ground, where he skillfully landed on his paws.

"So Issa, how'd you come to live here?"

"My dad know's your mom and dad. But, I think he's mad at her for some reason."

"Who's your dad?"

"Triston."

He shrugged, appearantly he didn't know either. I followed Riley, who followed Grimalkin, who had made his way to the front of us. I couldn't help but stare at him. Especially his hair. But the moment you look into those emerald eyes, you're a goner. But I, of course, wouldn't tell anyone how much I like him. Especially not him. He would have to figure it out on his own or not at all.

"So where are we going anyway?"

"Where else to look for the missing Iron Princess?"

Neither Riley nor I answered, Grim taking the chance to role his eyes.

"Elysium, duh."

"That makes so much sense."

"I guess so. I mean, Raven's always writing about how great it's supposed to be."

"Then I suppose we'd better get going."

Grim teased us swishing his tail.

"It's not as if time in the Nevernever stands still."

"Shut up."

We both scolded the cat who scowled at us in response.
"I can never have any fun, can I?"

"I will pour water on you Grimalkin."

"Alright, alright! I know of a certain trod that can lead us into the Wyldwood, at least. We can get to Arcadia from there."

"How long do we have to get there?"

Grim sat silent for a moment, pondering the question.

"About...I'd say...ten hours. Give or take."

"That's not nearly enough time!"

I exclaimed. Grim only grinned at me.

"That's not my problem, now is it Issa?"

"God, why do I like you, Grim?"

"Because, you're just as stubborn as I am."

"You have a point there."

Piped up Riley, who's arm I smacked playfully.

"Just lead us to the trod, cat."

"I'm going, I'm going. Right...here."

He said standing in front of a tree.

"What the-"

"You really are clueless aren't you?"

"Grim! He's new, he doesn't know his way around yet."

"I suppose not."

I opened the trod, a familiar forest peeking in from behind, I walked through followed by Grim.

"You coming?"

I asked a stunned Riley.

"Yeah, sure thing."

Still unmoving, I rolled my eyes and pulled him through, the trod closing behind us.

AN: Ok. I know I havn't updated in a while and that this is really short but I'm having such trouble writing this one lately. So, I hope this little filler will gelp until I can think something up.
