On their way back to the mansion, Selvian and Sierra had come across a shop with a sign on its window saying 'vessel for sale. Only $1,000'.

Selvian: "A thousand dollars? That isn't cheap".

Sierra: "No it isn't. What's the currency in this place?".

Selvian: "It's something called munny. Pronounced the same but spelt differently".

Sierra: "We need a vessel so the mistress can revive Repliku, right?".

Selvian: "Yes, assuming she had success in her dream".

Sierra: "But no one's going to buy a vessel for a thousand of their currency are there?".

Little did they know that someone else was interested. A lady in a black coat, the look-alike of me approached the shop.

Selvian: "Mistress, is that you? I thought you were...".

Sierra: "Run!".

Xalkra: "Keh! I'm so amused. I thought... You don't deserve that vessel".

Selvian: "Ah, mistress? Remember? We need it for...".

Xalkra: "Well yes, you're right in the fact that I need the vessel, but I don't think you do".

Sierra: "And who was the smart one with the heartless before. Look at her eyes".

Selvian: "Oh shit!".

Xalkra: "Ha! You actually didn't recognise me?"

Selvian suddenly had a change of attitude.

Selvian: "No we didn't, because we now know that you're a phoney and a fake. Get out of our sight".

Xalkra: "Hey I'm sorry to have alarmed you. Say what, let's have a competition and whoever wins has rights to that vessel in the window".

Selvian: "Okay fine".

Sierra: "Are you crazy?!".

Selvian: "It's that or nothing Sier".

Xalkra: "Ah, none the wiser. Let's get this thing going shall we?".

Xalkra clicks her fingers and a paper comes falling from the sky with the supposed competition rules on it. The sheet of paper read:

'Whoever can reach Namine's mansion first wins. Good luck.'

Selvian and Sierra both shrieked.

Selvian: "We're little! How do you expect us to make it?".

Sierra: "This competition is unfair!".

Xalkra: "Alrighty then, no vessel for you, heh".

Selvian: "Ah actually, on second thought... We'll do it".

As Selvian tried to give a fake smile and then grimace.

Sierra: "Run!".

Selvian: "Which way the mansion?!".

Sierra: "That way!".

Selvian: "Wait, she's not running?".

Sierra: "I think she's giving us a headstart because she knows she'll beat us".

Though Xalkra flew over to them and blew a whistle, demanding everybody stopped.

Xalkra: "I've had a change of heart, you can deal with my apprentices instead and if they win, then I'll come back to get the vessel".

Xalkra disappeared and instead, two dark teddies came out of the void, their names being Lexavnis and Serrixa. Instead of having green fur and blue ears, they had red fur and black ears.

Serrixa: "I bet you didn't see what's coming".

Sierra: "You're me?!".

Selvian: "Run!".

Serrixa: "Nah-uh-uh, back to the starting line please".

Lexavnis: "And if you don't play by the rules, you'll have a lot more problems than you currently have".

Once the four teddies were back at the starting line, they left off and navigated Twilight Town to get back to the Namine's mansion. Selvian had seemed to be behind the pack, but both Sierra and Serrixa were neck and neck with each other. However, what seemed to be a hardship was actually a bringer of luck to the green team's way. Sierra gasped as she tripped over a stick in the woods, but that sent her flying over the holographic finish line that Xalkra had seemed to be projecting from another world.

Sierra: "Oh? I won?"

Serrixa: "No you didn't, both teddies have to cross the line".

Sierra: "Since when did the rules say that?".

Serrixa: "Well... The boys still have a chance, if your one can catch up".

I was finally fully awake again after my dreaming session and I walked out as I caught sight of the to male bears coming to the finishing line.

Karla: "What kind of be-drudgery is this!?".

Selvian: "Mistress B! I'm not going to make it!".

I decided not to react, because I felt in my heart that Selvian could do it. Just then, the soul of Repliku had appeared behind Selvian and then disappeared. Selvian began to pick up speed. Selvian and Lexavnis were now neck and neck and Selvian just managed to get his foot across the line a second before Lexavnis could. And then, Xalkra appeared to cause trouble.

Xalkra: "Oi! He had spiritual help! That's unfair!".

I wasn't scared, this time I walked up to my dark self and decided to set things straight.

Karla: "Yes that may be unfair, but we can cancel out the boys and just evaluate how the girls did".

Xalkra: "Yeah right, because your girl won anyway. I bet you wouldn't have called for that if mine won".

Karla: "Eh, you never know. Sometimes you can't set expectations and rather, you just need to let life take you where it takes you".

Xalkra: "Shut up".

Karla: "What?".

Xalkra: "I don't like you".

Karla: "Hooh, sore loser you are. Come back when you've got a bit more fight in you".

With a look of major offence, Xalkra beckoned Lexavnis and Serrixa back to her side as the three of them disappeared back into the darkness.

Selvian: "What was that Mistress B?".

Karla: "A trouble maker, that's what. Now come on, let's get some borrow some munny from the mansion and get that vessel".
