I wake up the next morning and realize I'm still wearing the warm clothes, I take off the Cape and set down my bag, pulling out the riddle book, because of how early I used to wake up to practice spells I still wake up that early, which is helpful since I want to keep this a secret for as long as possible, I keep the key on me now instead of on the bookmark, I unlock the book and open it to page two, the next riddle says,

'For this one a whole plant you'll need,
Two words in the name you shall see,
The first is a plant in the water,
The next is a Disney princess's name,
It won't take you long to learn what it is,
But it lives far away and help you'll need,
For this riddle and riddles to come,
Only with help will you solve them all.'

Great. It's just telling me how unfair I was for lying to Shuichi and Maki, I'll wait for them to wake up then I'll tell them about it, I can already tell it's a Coral Jamine, but I think the point is that plant is native to South Asia, and they would get worried if I was gone that long. I put the book back in the bag, Shuichi will be so happy to know Kiibo wrote this book and could come back to life, and Maki will be happy too! (Once I figure out who to ship Maki with I'll change this to that name, or leave it, who knows?) I hope this works, otherwise it will be a huge disappointment, I didn't notice how much time passed until I felt a tap on my shoulder, I look up to see Maki and Shuichi, "you've been staring at the ground for a while, you okay?" Maki asked, "yeah, I'm fine, I just spaced out for a bit, but there's something I need to tell you guys" I reply, pulling the book out of my bag, "what is it Himiko?" Shuichi questioned, "well, just look at this book, I found it near the labs, I'm only on the third page" I say and hand them the book, Maki takes it and looks at me, "it's locked" She mentions  "oh, right! Sorry" I hand her the key,she takes it and unlocks the book, I watch as they read the first page, I can tell when they got to who wrote it because Shuichi started tearing up, He looks at me, "is this real?" He asks, "I'm not fully sure, I've already got the first ingredient, which apparantly no one noticed the flower, but the second ingredient is native to South Asia, and I don't think it will work just trying to buy the ingredients, the wording is proof of that." I reply, "so, your saying that we're going to south Asia and possibly more places around the world, just because we might be able to bring back our friends, but we have no clue if this will work." Maki says scepticly, "yes" was all I could respond with, when it's put like that it sounds crazy, Maki stared at me for a second, "I'm in. But how will we get there? Do you have a plan?" She finally said, I look at them, "depends on how okay you guys are with the risk of getting arrested and maybe killed..." Shuichi looks at me like I've lost my mind and Maki seems to be debating something, "would you like to hear my plan?" I question, "I-I guess..." Shuichi mumbles, "so," I start, "How would you guys feel about sneaking on a plane...?" If they didn't think I was crazy they do now, "We'll do it." Maki answers calmly, "wait, really?!" I say, nearly shouting, "Well, it would be nice to see Kiibo again..." Shuichi looks at the book as he speaks, that book is going to cause a bit of trouble... but it could be our only chance. I stand up, grabbing my bag aswell, and look at them "get ready, we're going to South Asia!" I say, this is gonna be a long trip...

(Hey guys! Sorry I've been gone for a while, I kinda forgot about this story, but I'm gonna try to update more. I also want to mention my plan for this story was to have two endings in which one ending turned into a sequel but I'm still not sure about if I'll finish it so I figured I'd tell you incase I don't do that. I'll see you next update!)
