Lake sat on her bed and stretched. She looked into the picture frame Branch gave her, then she grabbed it and kissed the heart. She smiled and whispered to it. "Another day. Another day of successfully making Branch happy.".

She said and looked out the window with the starry night sky. She headed to it and opened it, and started sighing and smelling the fresh breeze. "I wonder what will happen tomorrow... hope it's a new day. A new day, a new experience. Goodnight Branch...".

She whispered and saw Branch out in his pod and could see him through his window. He was looking through his cabinets until a spider jumped out and tackled his face. Branch fell down on the floor and disappearing from the view. Lake chuckled and headed to her bed and lied down. As she closed her eyes and fell asleep for a moment, she heard footsteps and quickly sat up. "Who's there?! Show me your face...".

She grabbed her spear from her hair and stood up on the ground. She walked around until she heard something falling on the ground. She quickly turned around and saw a book fell. She sighed and kneeled down as she picked it up. She heard breathing behind her back, and quickly grabbed her spear and aimed it at the creatures neck. He heard a masculine gasp as she flicked the lights on. She saw an injured troll, he had dark green hair and light green skin. He had beautiful brown eyes and a bit of blood on his shoulder. He wore a leaf-made jacket, and green shorts with a spear clipped behind his back. He had a band-aid on his cheek as they started panting. Lake stood up with spear still near his neck. "Who are you? What are you doing here in my property?".

"I'm Jinx, I saw you coming in here." He said as Lake looked up and down at his figure, then slowly lowering her spear with a softened expression. 'Jinx' sighed, but then Lake raised her spear up again near his neck closer as she gave a scary look. "I don't trust you, 'Jinx', what's my name then?".

"You're name is Lake. I used to be your best friend when we were kids, you know, the one who used to have a crush on you?" He said as Lake gasped and put her spear down. She dropped her spear and held the cheek that had the band-aid on. She looked into his eyes for a moment, and blinked. "Jinx, it is you! You've grown up!".

"And so did you." He said as they both hugged. Lake giggled and playfully punched his shoulder. "What happened to you? I thought you were gone forever!".

"Ha, good thing I had help with your private training." He said and winked. Lake and Jinx fist bumped. Then Lake hugged him again. "I missed you so much!".

"Me too, River." He calls her 'River' because... who doesn't like nicknames? Lake smiled and asked. "Where do you live?".

"Probably out in the woods. You pick some things out in the woods after a day or two..." Jinx shrugged his shoulders as Lake nodded and smiled. "Ok, then. I'll see you around, chump.".

"See ya" he said and waved as he jumped out the window. Lake looked out the window and saw Jinx waving and winked at her. Lake rolled her eyes and smirked as she waved. Jinx ran away as Lake sighed. "Same old Jinx."
