In the living room of Anubis house sat Joy, Mara, and Amber creating objects out of pop sticks. Amber and Mara seemed to enjoy the active, while Joy didn't seem so excited. Mara, noticed Joy's mood, but didn't understand what the problem was, Mara saw the saddest on Joy's face and decided to cheer her up.
"Joy, here hold this" Mara said giving Joy a hot glue gun.
Joy took the gun and applied hot glue to the unicorn looking object Amber was making.
"Does my unicorn look a little dull?" Amber asked.
"How can you tell that thing is a unicorn?" Joy said smartly.
"Your right" Amber answered. "It needed more glitter" she said applying more glitter needed for her unicorn.
As the three continued their project the front door opened as Fabian, Alfie, and Patricia stepped through and made their way to the living room.
"A little arts and craft bonding I see" Patricia laughed.
Joy looked at Patricia with eyes that could kill, she then looked to Fabian, hook her head, stood up and walked to the kitchen in a rage.
Joy's reaction to Patricia's remark surprised not only her, but everyone in the room. No one had any idea what was going on through their friend's head, but whatever Patricia said upset her.
"I guess bonding was the wrong word."
Though Fabian was concerned about Joy's state of mind he was more interested in what laid ahead.
"Have any of you seen Nina, or Eddie?" Fabian asked.
"Not sense school no." Mara answered.
Patricia, Alfie, and Fabian all looked towards one another with suspicious faces.
"Amber could you help us upstairs with a new mys- Alfie started to say before Patricia hit him in the ribs. "I mean to practice, yeah to practice for my magic act. I want you to be my assistant."
"You do" Amber said over excited. "I have so many outfits to choose from, I can't wait", Amber said racing upstairs ahead of everyone.
"That girl and clothes, well better stop her before she destroys her room", Alfie said looking to Fabian and Patricia.
"Mara, can you check on Joy. I would but—."
"I need her help with my roller flex" Fabian said. "We're going to take pictures of Amber and Alfie in their outfits.
"Sure" Mara answered.
"Thank you Mara" Patricia said heading upstairs along with Fabian and Alfie.
While the three Sibuna members walked upstairs, Mara made her way to the kitchen where she found a distraught Joy. Joy was crawled up in a ball crying on the kitchen floor. Mara moved with caution trying to be silent, but Joy had already heard her approaching. She looked up to Mara with tears running down her face and bright red eyes.
"Go away. I want to be alone" Joy said to Mara.
Mara smiled. "If you wanted to be alone you would have been in your room, even there I could find you."
Joy rose from the floor, cleaned herself off and stormed pasted Mara.
"Joy" Mara protest. "Let me help you."
Joy turned and took one final look at Mara. "You can't help me. No one can" she said before disappearing into the next room.
As Patricia, Alfie, and Fabian walked through Anubis halls a pain crawling scream caught their attention coming from Amber's room. They raced towards the scream without hesitation to find Amber facing the mirror, frozen in fear.
"What was that all about? Patricia asked.
"I saw something go into the mirror. It was black and purple, and it looked really scary" Amber said freaking out.
"Probably just your imagination or Sin Cera" Alfie laughed.
"Not funny Alfie" Amber said hitting him then made her way to her bed and sat down.
Though Alfie had somehow gotten Amber under control Fabian wanted to see if there was any truth behind Amber's claim. He examined the mirror carefully, but found nothing. Though nothing was out of the ordinary to him, Fabian still had a weird feeling about this mirror. He quickly abandoned all his thoughts and focused on the real reason they had all gathered here now.
"OK" Fiabain said. "I've called this secret Sibuna meeting because I have had some suspicions that just don't add up."
"Wait we're having a Sibuna meeting without Nina. What is this?" Amber asked.
"It's one of those meetings when other people of the group meet and talk about the rest of the group who aren't here behind their backs. I think they call them Shadow meetings" Alfie laughed.
"This isn't funny Alfie" Patricia said. Something is going on I can tell and Eddie hasn't said one word about it to me.
"I've tried to talk to Nina, but I haven't made any progress. She does seem to be jumpy, on edge like she's afraid of something" Fabian said. "Whatever it is she only wants to confine in Eddie, so if they're going to keep secrets then so will we."
"Shouldn't we be helping them" Alfie asked.
"We will" Fabian answered. "We will just be helping them without them knowing, until they come to us. So what do we know?"
Fabian looked around the room with a smile. Patricia and Alfie faces were blank, they seemed to know nothing at the moment, but Amber was trying desperately to hide from Fabian's smile.
"Amber, do you know something" Fabian asked.
"Ok. Ok you've dragged it out of m. You know you are a very good integrator." She took a breath and looked to everyone. "I don't know much, but Nina did wake up with a teddy bear and a key she had never seen before this morning."
"A teddy bear, what she can't go to sleep without her bear like Alfie has his blanky" Patricia laughed.
"Hey don't mock blanky" Alfie said with a stern face.
"What did the key look like?" Fabian asked Amber.
"It was gold with the gender signs engraved in it. Once she found the items she went to the mirror."
Fabian turned and once again approached the mirror. As he got closer the purple jewel at the top of the mirror shined brightly without warning blinding everyone in the room. As everyone's eye sight recovered they were all shocked to see what stood before them. Looking to them through the mirror was a small transparent girl with a smile on her face. She looked harmless enough, but what did she want with Sibuna?
"I think we just found our first clue" Fabian said shaking his head in disbelief from what he was seeing.
What did she want? Well only time will tell.
