Megan hummed and slightly changed direction every once in a while until they saw buildings in the distance. "Thanks." she said quietly as the twig in her hand disappeared. "So where do you want to go first?" she asked happily.

Rika thought for a moment. "Well, first I need to look for a library. The special thing I'm looking for might be there. Can your spell guide us there?". Rika caught up to Megan and stood next to her.

"Too much technological interference." Megan said sadly. "We can ask somebody though." she said cheering up a bit.

Rika smiled back and began to look for people she could ask for directions. "I'm starting to think there's not a library around here. It's getting late, should we find somewhere to stay for the night?".

Megan yawned and nodded. "Do you have any money?" Megan asked digging in her pocket. "I have $37, what about you?" she asked turning towards Rika.

Rika checked her pockets and found $40 she had kept in a jar back home. "How much will this get us?"

"Maybe a couple nights at a cheaper hotel and two at a fancier one." Megan said trying to find a map now.

Rika began checking her surroundings for a hotel and found one called "the flamingo inn". Rika tapped Megan on the shoulder and pointed at the hotel. "Would that be a fancy hotel?".

"Let's find out." Megan said walking towards the hotel.

As the two entered the hotel, rika found that her question had been answered. It was a quaint hotel, obviously opened over twenty years ago. The staff wore all pink and were exceptionally friendly. But something seemed off to rika. That feeling she got when she thought of being dead again. "I wonder what Megan thinks of this place." She wondered.

Megan gritted her teeth. "Do you like it?" she asked Rika. Megan hated big places like this, but she wasn't about to ruin Rika's fun.

Rika looked at Megan's face. She looked so uncomfortable she seemed to be ready to jump out a window once she got the chance. "Something seems weird, do you feel okay, Megan?" She said, a bit worried.

Megan shrugged and asked the question again. "Do you like it here?" she asked again looking around at the perky staff and the snobby people, then down at her muddy clothes.

Rika shrugged back. "Something feels wrong about this place I'll tell you more after we check in." She whispered as the two reached the front desk. "How may I help you today at the flamingo inn?" The man behind the desk said in an almost laughable southern accent.

Megan took out her money and put it on the counter. "We would like a room for two with a window please." she said pushing the money towards him.

rika watched as the man took the money and gave her and megan a look of utter disgust. "what, do we look that odd to him?". rika looked at her clothes. she was in her usual school uniform of a white button up shirt, a purple skirt and bowtie. megans clothes seemed pretty normal too. so what was his problem with them? "well, i'll get someone to show you two to your room." the man rang the bell on his desk and a skinny young bellhop ran up to the desk as if it was on fire. he saluted the man and then looked at the two girls. the man at the desk whispered something in the bellhops ear and the bellhop gave them the same look of disgust. "this way please." he said, leading them to their room.

Megan followed the bellhop to the elevator and looked down at her clothes. She hadn't noticed that her clothes were getting filthy and they were caked with mud, her pants were torn at the bottom a little and she had a cut across her forearm. Shrugging, she followed the bellhop to a small room on the second floor. He opened the door and Megan saw that it was pretty nice, and it had a window. Taking out a piece of gun from her pocket she put it in the bellhops outstretched hand. "Your breath reaks." Megan said with a smile, shutting the door in his face.

the room was exactley what rika expected it to be. there were two twin sized beds with pink sheets, a couch with a stuffed flamingo on it, a window next to the second bed, and a flat screen tv at the feet of the beds. "so this is what a hotel room looks like. i've never seen one before." she thought allowed.

"We'll dont get used to the room." Megan said taking her jacket off and throwing it on the bed closest to the window. "If you don't mind, I'm going to take a shower." She declared going into the bathroom.

"okay." rika said as she sat down on the bed closer to the door. "ill let you have the bed next to the window okay?".
