A/N I'm back again! I'll probably just keep updating spontaneously like this, because I'm running out of ideas for this story. I do, however, have a pretty set plotline, although it'll probably change.

Sad news: I had to give away my dog. We were taking care of his basic needs, but me and my mom are never home, and we just don't have the right lifestyle for a dog right now. I'm really really sad, but I love my dog, and I want him to be happy, and I know that he's happier with his new family. We're getting pictures and updates, tho, so I know he's doing ok.

Good news: Nightfall is here! Well, almost. I got the special edition with the Keefe story (!), so I'll be gettting it on tHE FREAKING THIRTEENTH, which iS SO FREAKING LATE. But I'm going to Barnes and Noble tomorrow, and there's a chance that they put it out early, like some of the other stores.

Speaking of that, I GOT SPOILED. I've seen so many freaking spoilers from people who got the book early, and they're hilarious! Nightfall is gonna be a wild, wild ride, lol.

Here's the chapter:

Sophie scanned the room for Biana's dark hair and cobalt eyes for what had to be the fifth time, but came up with nothing. All she could see were Stina tapping her wrist as if it had a watch, mouthing 'tick tock' with a sneer on her face.

"I don't get it!" Sophie exclaimed, turning to Keefe. "She expects us to talk with Linh right now? All our imparter use has been confiscated and we can't exactly leap out of here right now."

"She's Stina," Keefe scoffed. "Do you really expect her to be rational?"

Sophie humphed. "I guess not. She's so annoying."

"No kidding." Keefe scowled.

Sophie slumped against a greenhouse wall, sitting down with her legs crossed. Keefe slid down next to her.

"Where is she?" Keefe said, squinting his eyes. "Stupid Vanishers."

Biana materialized into view. "I'd prefer you didn't call me stupid. My talent is pretty useful. It's how I'm going to talk you out of this whole Stina crap."

"Do we need to? Stina just wants us to talk to Linh. We don't have to force the girl to mess with Stina's scrolls," Keefe said.

Biana rolled her eyes. "We both know Stina will do anything to get what she wants. If Linh says no, she'll definitely tell on me."

"Hate to say this, but Biana's right," Sophie said. "Stina's the pushiest person on our planet."

"Besides you," Keefe joked, nudging Sophie in the side.

Biana grinned. "Can't argue with that one."

Sophie rolled her eyes. "Oh, really? Then who has spent multiple sleepovers with me trying to convince me to do my makeup? And who has spent days trying to convince me to let you pet sit Iggy, which, by the way, Keefe, is never going to happen?"

"Aw, come on, I'm responsible!" Keefe scoffed. "I'll have you know that I kept my room clean for three whole days last week!"

"Wow," Biana said sarcastically. "That's real commitment."

Sophie grinned, joining in on the joke. "I'm so proud of you. I know you worked really hard."

"What can I say?" Keefe jested. "I'm just that hard-working. Which is another reason you should leave me with Iggy."

"Not gonna happen, Keefe," Sophie said firmly. "Anyways, we need to get back on topic. What are we going to do about this?"

"Duh," Biana said. "We tell Stina we can't interfere with Linh's job, and we bribe her with something else."

Keefe nodded in thought. "That's a good idea."

"Well, of course it is," Biana scoffed. "I thought it up. I feel like you guys are losing your touch. I'm the idea girl now."

"Not true!" Keefe said.

"So true," Sophie said. "You haven't pranked anyone in weeks."

"Well, that's because a certain somebody-" Keefe draped an arm around Sophie. "- mellowed me down."

Biana giggled, and Sophie smiled. Biana wasn't angry at Keefe for showing affection.

Maybe she was moving on. Sophie hoped so. Fighting with Biana was tiring and petty. She didn't want it to go on. She wanted her best friend back.

"So what else can we do?" Sophie asked, snuggling into Keefe's shoulder. "What's good enough for Stina?"

"Nothing, according to her," Keefe scoffed. "She's so stuck up!"

Sophie agreed. Stina was one of the most mean, passive aggressive people Sophie had ever met. But she was the key to all their problems. They had to make an effort to be nice to her.

Wait. That was it!

"I think I have an idea," Sophie said. "But it's crazy, stupid, and risky."

"Great, let's do it!"
