Welcome back, everyone. Enjoy and review.
5:00 PM
The flapping of leathery wings was not heard after Basil and Venus exited the Labyrinth section of the Abode of Alarm. Indeed they went through the rest of the attraction and not once did anything that could have been interpreted as the flapping of leathery wings come to their ears.
After the Abode of Alarm, the two went back to Basil's house. As they entered the door, he wondered what sort of hijinks had happened at A. Nigma after school, if any. Had he known that the cleaners had gone berserk had been entombing people in crystal he would have said he was lucky he wasn't there. Of course, those words would not come out of his mouth until tomorrow.
"Something on your mind?" Venus asked, turning to look at Basil. Basil had a certain manner that indicated when he was thinking about something. His eyes would be pointed upward while his face itself would be pointed downwards. Indeed, this was the same manner that Basil's body was now in with his eyes looking upwards but his face looking downwards.
"Just wondering if anything happened after school." Said Basil.
"If so then from what you told me of A. Nigma it must have been something incredible." Commented Venus.
Basil gave a small chuckle. "Yeah, most likely." He then looked up at Venus, his face no longer facing downwards and his eyes looking forward his attention was on her alone. "So, what did you think of the Abode of Alarm?"
"It was certainly different from other haunted attractions I've been to." Confessed Venus. "But it certainly was scary."
"Oh, really?" Basil walked towards Venus and wrapped his arms around her once he was close enough. "I couldn't tell from the amount of times you screamed and hid your face in my chest." His voice was filled with gentle sarcasm.
Venus' reaction was to lightly hit his chest. "Like you were so brave. I noticed you jump a bit a few times."
Laughing, Basil picked up Venus in his arms and carried her up the stairs. "Well, there is nothing scary here."
