Phan Cam: A Heroic Dream Festival (Day 1) (Part 3 1/2)

Picking up from earlier. Here’s a link to what happened then.

https://ask-the-phan-site.tumblr.com/post/716372083417939968/phan-cam-a-heroic-dream-festival-day-1-part-3

Now, back to the story before we were cut off.

That goes double for Isaac.

Teddie: That’s cause I’m one of a kind, baby! I may look cute and cuddly on the outside, but low and behold, when I shed this skin...

POP!

An elegant and lovely boy is born.

Yosuke: (unhappy) Are you seriously going to do that every time?

Teddie: (getting back in his suit) It my thing. It’s what I do best.

Joker: Then we have the Bros: Griff, Isaac, and Tom.

Griff: Nice to meet you all.

Same here. I can tell you’re some kind of tough guy.”

Griff: (proudly) I’m just a renegade-rent-a-cop who protects the streets and has a heart of justice.

Isaac: Isaac is five-star chef.

Tom: (cheerfully) And I have a girlfriend! (quickly stops when he remembered Panda being near) I mean, I’m an artist.

You should watch your words more.

Joker: And the young girl who skipped ahead to college is Chloe Park.

Chloe: Hi.

You’re in college at your age, Chloe chan? That’s quite amazing.

Chloe: It’s really nothing. I just do the homework.

Just as long as you don’t overdo it. You’re still a child, after all, and need at least some time to rest and be with your friends.

Chloe: Don’t worry, I always have time for my friends. Especially Ice Bear.

Ice Bear: Ice Bear always has time for everyone.

>The rest of our friends introduce themselves.

Fox: We’re so glad you could join us for the Dream Festival.

Panda: Same here. As long a certain koala doesn’t show up and get us kicked out.

Joker: (worried) Don’t tell me he’s here, too.

Panda: (shaking his head) Nom-Nom’s doing a music video in Markovia. He won’t be back for weeks.

(laughing a bit) Markovia? This Nom-Nom must be very brave to go to country that’s now off-limits.

Panda: He got permission from the king himself. Who knew that big hothead was a fan of the little hothead.

Oracle: Probably have a lot in common.

>Sankishi finishes their song as they begin their next one, Prince of Heart.

Dorika Time!

Catch Your Cheers!

Haruto: Such a fine regalia. Thank you!

Catch Your Cheers!

Susa: We’ll shine like diamonds tonight.

Catch Your Cheers!

Ichika: Let us show our crystalline hearts!

>Sankishi changes their clothes.

Diamond Dust Series! Complete!

>With that, Sankishi performed their song, Prince of Heats.

(arriving with that rest of the Future Avengers) Sorry for the wait. We were taking care of stuff for tomorrow.

It’s no trouble. We know you were busy.

We would have come sooner, but Master Valdez brought his apprentices and they brought their friends.

Joker: Rueben's here, too?

Yeah. And so are Tony, Sammi, Zeb, and Dogg.

I guess we should have known since we met those two little friends of there who had an accident in the dorms.

We know. They’ll be a little late while they’re cleaning up, but they’ll be here soon. For now, only Rueben, his apprentices, and their friends are coming here tonight, but the rest will be here before the show ends.

Speaking of the dorm, how about the Avalorans and that Madrigal?

Camilo, who’s here with the rest of his family, is probably still being yelled at by his parents for spiriting Mateo away. Same with Black Widow and Hawkeye.

How do you know that?

>There was lightning and thunder at our dorm.

Kei: Well that’s not Thor if that’s what you’re thinking.

Aster: I feel sorry for him.

Wolf: He did the crime, now he does the crime.

????? ?????: And that’s a fact.

>We saw Queen Elena, Princess Isabel, Mateo, General Núñez, Naomi, Seniora Flores, and Senior Flores were approaching us.

Queen: (giving a small bow) Elena sama and company, what an honor. What brings you to our group?

When I heard you mention Mateo, I got a bit curious.

Adi: Well I promise you, Camilo is getting it from his parents. Especially his mother as you may have guessed.

From all that thundering coming from the dorms, we can take your word for it.

Wolf: With that taken care of, I guess you’ll be returning home, am I right?

We were, until Abuelo found out about what guys do on the Dream Festival’s second day.

Wolf: The talent show? You can perform, Gramps? (So that’s what it’s like saying it to someone other than me.)

Si, I can...

>Senior Flores begins to play. Despite that there was already a performance going on stage, his guitar could still be heard over most everything else.

Senior Flores: (proud and eyeing Wolf) Not bad, huh?

Wolf: (nervous) Why do I get the feeling that was directed at me?

Maybe because you called him “Gramps”?

Fox: Uncouth as always, Gramps.

Joker: Next time, think, Gramps.

Wolf: ...

THAT’S IT! AS PUBLIC SECURITY, YOU’RE ALL UNDER ARREST!

Wolf’s Daughter: (face palming) Dad, knock it off. We’re suppose to be on vacation. This is not the time or place to get worked up.

Besides, as General of the Royal Army of Avalor, it’s my duty to remind you that we have diplomatic immunity.

He’s got a point, Zenkichi.

Queen Elena: Besides, your friends from Enchancia came with us. The least we can do is enjoy the last days of summer someplace new and fun.

Joker: And what about you, Mateo sensei? Does this mean you’ll be teaching us Maruvian magick after all?

I wouldn’t get my hopes up, if I were you. Like I said, this isn’t something you can learn in just one week.

?????? ??????: Not without a little help.

>It was then that, Doctor Strange and his colleague, Doctor Voodoo, arrive.

Makoto: Hey, Docs. Finished up for the day?

We should have everything set up for tomorrow and many days to come. Even longer than a week.

Mateo: (a bit confused) How does that work?

Take a look at the Ancient Sanctum and tell me what you see.

>We turn our direction to where Doctor Strange was talking about.

Doctor Strange: At first glance, it looks like any other outdoor area, but behind those doors, our indoor learning area exists in a pocket dimension where time and space are independent from the material world. You can stay in there for years and come out to discover you’ve only been gone a short time. Aging will not be a problem, either. It’s like virtual reality.

Mateo: So you’re saying I can teach magic that takes years to learn in just one week because the classroom would be in another dimension? Sounds a bit dubious, but it does make sense.

????? ????????: But also a bit foolish.

>We saw that the one who said that was a woman who was with the Weird Sister and a few others from their coven.

Chie: (pointing out) Hey, our friends from Sternbild are over there. We’re gonna go say hi.

Queen: Go ahead. We’ll meet a little later. We’re having our first day celebration at Joe Q’s. We’ll text you the address.

>With that, the Investigation Team and their friends go to speak to their Sternbild friends.

>On stage, Sankishi finishes their song and DearDream comes on stage.

Dorika Time!

Catch Your Cheers!

Kanade: This is a wonderful cheer! Thank you!

Catch Your Cheers!

Shin: Your cheers will reach back to your hearts!

Catch Your Cheers!

Junya: The cheers you give us will help us shine!

Catch Your Cheers!

Rich Dalmatian

Itsuki: Thank you for the wonderful cheers.

Catch Your Cheers!

Rich Dalmatian

Chizuru: I’m gonna love your cheers!

>The others are dressed the same way.

Rich Dalmatian Series! Complete!

>With that, DearDream performs their song.

>Back with us, we continued our conversation with the Order of Hecate while the Investigation Team was with their other friends.

NOTE: We’d like to apologize to the cast of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina for using their images. They were the only ones we could find.

Doctor Strange: Directrix Spellman, good to see you again.

Likewise, Dr. Strange. Same to you, Doctor Drumm.

Good to see you again, too.

Mateo: What do you mean that it’s foolish?

It could cause some wrinkles in the fabric of space and time and create some kind of ripple effect that could cause all sorts of unimaginable events.

Doctor Strange: (amused) So what else is new?

Ambrose Spellman: Of course, you, being the Sorcerer Supreme, can handle it.

True. But do not forget, Ambrose, Stephen Strange is still a man. A woman’s touch is a little more recommended.

Doctor Strange: I have a friend who lives in the Dark Dimension who will watch us to make sure things go smoothly.

I’ve heard of her. I think we’ll be okay.

Let’s hope so. We already see each other less and less these days. I don’t want to lose you for good.

Roz: Don’t worry, you won’t.

I wish Robin could have come with us. He would have loved this.

Zelda Spellman: I understand. But a city like this is no place for a hobgoblin like him. Sure, there are hobgoblins living here, under the protections of some scaled beasts that can change to human, I’m more concerned that he might run into unpleasant company.

Aster: Like the villains that attack this city pretty much everyday. Even on Christmas.

Princess Isabel: But I’m told Avengers Campus is a safe place. No villain should be able to get us here. Right?

Adi: Most of the time, yes. But that doesn’t mean we don’t get the occasional HYDRA agent or rouge mage. I think the other day, the Wrecking Crew tried to tear down W.E.B. Thankfully, Spider-Man and the others stopped them.

We rest our case.

??????? ????????: Relax, the heroes here know what they’re doing.

>We were shocked by the witch who came up.

Besides, we can pretty much handle ourselves.

It’s you.

Queen: You’re the girl from the Wall.

Sabrina Spellman: Well, yes, and no. She was someone was close to me. She actually wore a red ribbon, but that was the only picture of her we could find. (That and the person writing this post didn’t know I was back until after Part 1.) And was a bit convenient since my dead boyfriend’s in the picture, too. I guess we should change that, huh?

Noir: I see. I’m sorry for your loss. How close were you?

Sabrina Spellman: Really close.

You must miss Nicholas and Ms. Morningstar a lot, don’t you?

Sabrina Spellman: (shocked) How did you know who they are?

Joker: ...

If I told you now, we’d both be in trouble.

Sabrina Spellman: Right. I guess you’ll tell me when you’re ready.

Joker: Yes. Tonight, we’re suppose to have fun. Are friends will be on stage. True, they’re last, but it’ll be worth the wait.

Mateo: ... I guess I can give it a try. Just hope this works.

Doctor Voodoo: If not, we’ll compensate you... Just don’t tell Mr. Stark.

>On stage, DearDream finishes their song and ready for their next one.

Dorika Time!

Catch Your Cheers!

Kanade: Thank you! We’ll bring the music!

Catch Your Cheers!

Shin: We’ll fill the night air with our song!

Catch Your Cheers!

Junya: We’ll let your cheers light the way!

Catch Your Cheers!

Itsuki: Your hope for us will blossom for you, tonight.

Catch Your Cheers!

Chizuru: You love is going to be big!

>With that, DearDream changes clothes.

Milky Altair Series! Complete!

>With that, DearDream performs their own version of Scenario.

>I slip away to get some drinks from the Shawarma Palace. Nearby, I saw the Investigation Team with their Sternbild friends. I don’t think they’ve noticed be, so I can’t help but overhear what they’re saying.

WARNING: Tiger & Bunny 2 spoilers ahead.

Yukiko: (looking down) So it’s true, you really have lost them for good this time.

It’s okay. It was bound to happen sooner or later. It least they went while I was doing what a hero does best: Saving people.

Dojima: I know I was hoping you’d retire, but not like this. I know having a true heart of justice makes you a real hero, but your powers were a big part of you.

It will take some getting used to, but we’ll find a way for Kotetsu to keep working with heroes. We even took it up with Little Aurora.

Yosuke: What did she say?

We haven’t heard back from her yet. All we can do is wait.

Yu: I hope you hear from her soon. And if you ever need anything, just tell us.

You guys really are good friends to heroes.

Not to brag, but we do what we can.

Chie: So, what have guys got planned while you’re here? Some of you are teaching, will be learning here, too?

Aside from Superpowers, I’ve also taken up Spying. Subaru took up Martial Arts.

Subaru: I thought I’d try to up my game on Hero TV. There’s nothing in the rules that says I can’t. Dragon Kid does it all the time.

Chie: We know. I can’t believe Pao-Lin didn’t come with you.

Yukiko: I also would have loved to meet Lara.

Hey, someone had to stay home and keep the show going while we’re away.

Don’t worry, you’ll meet up soon.

You’re as lively as ever, man... Hey, Ruben’s here, too, if you wanna talk.

Antonio: I’ll speak to him later. I just wanna enjoy our time off. Especially since we we’re going on stage on the second day.

I can’t believe you got me into this. I haven’t sung anything since we all did that CD some years back.

Then it’s a good thing I’m here. I can just coach you guys.

Karina: And me. I’ll help, too.

Ivan: Thanks. We could use it.

Hey! I don’t think we’re alone.

He’s right. The other day, I touched a NEXT who can sense when someone’s spying.

Yu: And I think I know who... Ren san, you can come out now.

>I completely forgot why I had tray of drinks with “Shawarma Palace” on them.

Yu: How much did you hear?

Joker: Just enough.

Subaru: You’re not going to talk much about the conversation, are you?

What conversation? I’m just getting drinks for my friends.

Yu: (smiling) Good to hear.

Joker: See you later.

>I return to my friends as DearDream finishes their song and KUROFUNE appears on stage.

Dorika Time!

Catch Your Cheers!

Yuto: This looks awesome! Thank you!

Catch Your Cheers!

Keigo: Your cheers will wrap us in your love.

Catch Your Cheers!

KUROFUNE: Let the fun begin!

Jackpot Series! Complete!

>With that, KUROFUNE perform White Pavement.

What took you so long?

You’ll have to excuse my nephew, he seems to have misplaced his manners today.

And his brain, with it.

Lindon: (unamused) Very funny.

>We look to see Ruben, Tony, Sammi, Zeb, Dawg, Fragg, and Skragg coming to us... And they’re not alone.

NOTE 2: I would like to apologize in advance to Jamie Lee, but it would be a shame to leave out their Rockababy characters.

Hola, guys. Enjoying the campus?

Joker: (happy) We are. Gracias, Tony.

Panther: (a bit surprised) Are those... greasers?

You gotta problem with us Bozos?

Panther: (scared of what may happen) No. It’s just, you don’t see many greasers these days. Even delinquents are a bit scarce in Japan... Unless maybe you count Ryuji or Kanji.

Gekko: (laughing) You better not let them hear you say that.

These are my apprentices.

Mona: (surprised) All of them?

Ruben: (laughing) No, just Richie and Shifty. The rest are their friends. These are the Bozo Boys, that’s the name of their gang. Shifty is the one who spoke first.

Shifty: (coolly) Hi.

Ruben: The one with the glasses is Richie, my other apprentice.

(Art by silkoodles.) What’s up?

Ruben: And these are their friend. First, their resident detective, Bones.

How are ya?

Ruben: The cook, Boomer.

I’m one of the guys teachin’ Cooking here.

Ruben: The martial arts guy, Brick.

I’m also teachin’ here. My boyfriend ain’t the only expert in the gang.

Ruben: And their doctor, Ace.

I’d shake hands, but I’m still unsure about it.

Ace, you do know the smoking area is behind Avengers HQ. Not in front of it where there are a lot of people who can inhale the fumes.

Ace: (puts out cigarette) Sorry.

Zelda Spellman: I was told the same thing. Don’t worry.

Chloe: Just thinking of everyone else.

Shifty: Besides... she might inhale ‘em, too.

Queen: (curious) She?

>Suddenly, something pops out of Shifty’s jacket pocket.

Ta da~!

Oh, that is so cute! Such a darling!

Chloe Park: (we’ll call her that since the Chloe we know is here) (amazed) A real live alien!

Ice Bear: Ice Bear’s seen bigger.

Shifty: (smiling) That’s Buttons for ya. She has that effect on people.

Makoto: So you and Richie are Keyblade Wielders, just like me, Ryuji, Harry, and the others.

Richie: You bet we are. Want to see?

Doctor Strange: We’ll take your word for it. Please don’t summon it in this crowd. We may have Cornerstone, but the Heartless still appear in some places.

Sammi: And we’re still trying to get Claymore 2 online.

Panther: How did you guys the Keyblade? I never understood how.

Ruben: We’ll tell you the story another time.

It looks like the current band is almost done with their song.

>It was true, KUROFUNE had just finished their song and getting ready for their next one.

Yuto: This next song is a new one that we wrote, inspired by Avengers Campus.

Keigo: This is also a thank you to all the heroes of our world, super or otherwise.

Yuto: You have touched our hearts and saved them.

Keigo: Now, it’s our turn to touch your hearts.

KUROFUNE: Let reveal the Inner Hero!

Dorika Time!

Catch Your Cheers!

Yuto: We’ll sail to hero!

Catch Your Cheers!

Keigo: A new story will be told tonight.

Catch Your Cheers!

KUROFUNE: Your story!

Friendly Marine Series! Complete!

>With that, KUROFUNE perform their new song, Inner Hero.

>Back with us, the Madrigals arrive. Aside from Camilo, there was also his parents, Pepa and Félix, his little brother Antonio, his aunt and uncle, Julietta and Agustin, and their three daughters, Isabela, Luisa, and Mirabel, and his other uncle Bruno.

Looks like the party started without us.

And who’s fault was that? Honestly, Camilo, we rarely get a family vacation. This is probably the few times that we can.

It’s okay, Pepi. Things worked out in the end... Though I have to say, I thought your emotional powers were intense.

Senora Flores: That’s my granddaughter. Your wife has clears skies, Elena has baby jaquins.

Queen Elena: (blushing, but smiling) Abuela...

We’re not exactly on vacation. We were invited here for the festival to teach those who have same or similar powers as we do.

Though it does feel that way, mi amour.. We’re far from home in an unknown place that looks fun. And it’s a festival with music and celebration.

Tony: You took the words right out of my mouth.

I doubt some of them are as strong as me. Though I do know my limits.

Still, this should be fun. We don’t get to see many worlds often. Especially ones that seem like they’re a bit ahead of us.

Brick: We know that, sister.

But no worries, brother.

We might still catch up. Time moves forward, no backwards.

Prudence Blackwood: You are optimistic. We will give you that.

You say that as if it were a bad thing.

Hilda Spellman: Don’t worry, it’s not.

General Núñez: So, what’s the verdict for your son for kidnapping Mateo?

Félix Madrigal: Luckily, we’re letting him off with two weeks grounded. While we’re here: Teaching, dinner with the family, that’s it.

Mateo: (disappointed) I still can’t believe you kidnapped me, Camilo. Do you have any idea how worried my mother was? How worried my friends were? ... Especially Elena and Gabe? ... I thought you were my friend. One of my best students.

Camilo Madrigal: (saddened) Mateo, I’m sorry. But we knew you’d say no about teaching magick in just one week. We still remember the Gingerbread Palace Incident. This was the only way to change your mind.

Mateo: Then you should have told me about the classrooms that can stop time so I can teach it in just one week.

Doctor Strange: I’m afraid that's our fault, Master de Alva. We forgot to tell Camilo to tell about it so he could tell you.

Doctor Voodoo: We would have told you, but we sort of had our hands full at the time with a rouge sorcerer.

Aster: Was it that Mordo guy again?

Doctor Strange: (laughing) I know. He just won’t take the hint.

Prudence Blackwood: And I thought the man I once called my father was determined.

Doctor Voodoo: True. But Faustus Blackwood wanted power over Greendale. Mordo wants power over the world. Maybe even the Multiverse.

Doctor Strange: We apologize for that mishap, Master de Alva.

Mateo: Well, as long as you don’t do that again. Everyone was scared.

General Núñez: Me, especially.

Camilo: So you’ll forgive me?

Mateo: ... I’m still thinking.

>Camilo pouts.

>After getting through the other Units, it was time for SKUL5 to be one stage.

Dorika Time!

Catch Your Cheers!

Skull: We’re racing with the sea!

Catch Your Cheers!

Crow: We’ll go looking into your map!

Catch Your Cheers!

Ichiro and Nobu: Your cheers will show us the way!

Catch Your Cheers!

Oka: Let’s set sail for your heart!

>They change their clothes.

Innocent Pirates Series! Complete!

>With that, SKUL5 performs their first song, Treasured Hearts.

>Back with us, we were cheering our hearts out when more people joined us.

Princess Sofia: We’re here!

Queen Elena: (happy) You made it just in time.

Crown Princess Amber: Well, us queens need to stick together.

Prince James: (unimpressed) You’re not queen yet, Amber.

Crown Princess Amber: But I will be soon.

Queen Miranda: Settle down, you two. We’re guests in this world.

Amber and James: Sorry, Mom.

Doctor Strange: We’re just so happy you could join us for the Dream Festival.

King Roland: And we’re happy to be here.

Doctor Voodoo: It’s good to see you, too, Bailywick, Ceedrick. (laughs)

Very funny, Jericho.

I don’t know. I say that was a pretty good one.

Doctor Voodoo: Relax, Cedric, I was just yanking your chain. Even I have a sense of humor.

Ruben: So why come with Queen Elena and her family here? This doesn’t really look like your scene.

Princess Sofia: We’re here because of Dad.

King Roland: When Queen Elena mentioned Avengers Campus... I just felt like going.

>I then notice King Roland’s eyes... falling on my dad.

You know... I had a feeling you would. I also think… we might get along with Thor.

Joker: But look at us, our friends are performing on stage now and we’re too busy talking to see them.

Makoto: I’m sure Akechi will be cool with us, but Ryuji would probably burst into tears if he knew we weren’t paying attention.

Bones: I can see that happenin’.

>We watched SKUL5 perform their song. When it was over, it was time for their next song and the last song of the night.

Dorika Time!

Catch Your Cheers!

Skull: Your cheers will get us goin’!

Catch Your Cheers!

Crow: This will be a golden light!

Catch Your Cheers!

Oka: Thanks. This will do me good.

Catch Your Cheers!

Ichiro and Nobu: Your cheers will unite us!

>With that, SKUL5 changes clothes.

Golden Training Series! Complete!

>SKUL5 then performs their song, Hurricane.

Oracle: (smiling) Looks like it really is a night of royals.

>No doubt, our friends from Eos were coming to us.

Queen Elena: (giving a small bow along with the other royals) King Noctis, Queen Lunafreya, good to see you.

Likewise, Queen Elena and party.

How are you enjoying the festival so far?

King Roland: It seems to be fine, thank you for asking.

Hey, you guys, long time, no see.

Joker: Hey, Prompt kun. It’s good to see you again, too.

Hello, all.

Hi, everyone.

It’s been awhile.

Hi, you guys!

Queen: Good to see you again, Iris chan.

Princess Sofia: You know each other?

Mona: Akechi is close friends with Prompto and he introduced us.

You guys know everyone! Your lives are really amazing!

Don’t exaggerate, they don’t know everyone.

??????? ???: Wanna bet?

>Without a doubt. Some of our Joe friends were here, too.

Violet: (excited) I knew you’d be here soon!

Yeah, sorry for the wait.

Hey, no one said our job was easy.

That’s an understatement.

Wolf: Glad you could join us.

It wasn’t easy trying to get R and R, but General Abernathy granted it to us. Especially when we told him where we’re going.

For those who aren’t interested in joining S.H.I.E.L.D., we also have options for recruitment for the Army, the Air Force, or the Navy.

Noir: Is that why Shipwreck san is here?

I’m not officially with the Navy, but I’ve seen my share of action.

I’m not so sure about this. Most of everyone here are just tourists.

Have a little faith, Scarlet. There are a lot of people who would like with all their hearts to serve our world. Like that pacifist from Seattle. I think his name was Steen.

That’s true. Even Captain Danvers said there are a lot of potentially good piolets here.

Flint: I think Captain Rodgers said something similar.

Joker: Everyone has a chance to become a hero. Whether it would be the super kind, S.H.I.E.L.D., soldier, or otherwise. We can all make a difference. Especially together.

Now that’s what I’m talking about! We are an unstoppable force as one!

Lindon: (doubtful) Maybe. Just don’t get too fired up, Dad.

(coming to us with the rest of the Guardians and their chaperones) My thoughts exactly, Mr. Vanissen. Sorry. but when I saw these solider guys with you, I got curious. My dad’s in the military.

Lt. Taylor: I’m just a communications officer. It’s nothing too big.

On the contrary, we communications officers play a big role in the military. We keep everyone connected.

Just don’t let it go to your heads.

Mrs. Taylor: (laughing) No promises.

Either way, I’m glad we can all be here together. Even though some of us can only be here in spirit. Thank you.

Some of our friends and Reserved Team members will be here soon...

Even my boyfriend is coming!

Everyone: (shocked) YOU HAVE A BOYFRIEND!?

Sophie: Yes. You’ll meet him soon. Right now, we should enjoy the rest of the concert.

Joker: Right.

>With that, we enjoy the rest of the concert.

>Thus concludes the first day of the Dream Festival as the concert finishes.

>Skull and Crow join us after changing so we can all celebrate at Joe Q’s along with Peter, Harry, Gwen, Anya, Miles, Grady and Gankee.

So, are you guys ready?

Joker: We are. I already texted Yu and the others where to meet.

Then what are we waitin’ for? Let’s go!

Will the rest of our friends, old and new, be joining us?

Naw, I’m tankin’’.

After the day we’ve had, we’re ready to hit the sack.

Well that’s a shame, that place’s got very good muffins.

Aster: The muffins sound nice, but I don’t like the taste of coffee.

Juniper: (suspicious) How do you know what coffee tastes like?

Aster: (nervous) Just a good guess. Now, if Joe Q served tea, then I would come.

Sorry, A.V., I’ve been trying to get Joe to add tea to the menu for years. I don’t think he’s going to budge.

Hilda Spellman: That’s alright, love, I brought my own. It’s my special blend: A bit of chamomile, a touch of nettle, a dash of rosemary, some honeysuckle... and a calming charm bring it all together.

Aster: That sounds nice. Thanks, Ms. Hilda. Mind if I join you?

Hilda Spellman: I don’t see why not? Me and Ambrose will be taking it at Pym’s Test Kitchen.

Ambrose Spellman: We want to see how big the calming charm can get.

Ignis: If you don’t mind, I have some cakes that might go well with your tea.

Hilda Spellman: That would be lovely, dear.

Dawg: (laughing a bit) I do love cake. I think I’ll join.

Holly: I’ll join in, too.

Lunafreya: Me and Noctis shall also accompany you.

Noctis: I’m not much of a tea guy, but alright.

>We asked the others, but they also turned us down.

Tony: I’m more of a horchata kind of guy.

Queen Elena: I like horchata, too.

Sammi: Except, you get up early in the morning. I have to get Tony blasted out of bed to start the day. I may run the company, but he still owns it.

Tony: (groaning) ¿De verdad, Sammi?

Lady Jaye: Oh great, you’re one of those types.

You said it, sister.

Gladiolus: (laughing a bit)

Noctis: (unamused) That’s fine thing to say about your king.

Prompto: I wish we could join you, but we really should hit the sack.. But I can think of a couple others who would like to join... So the both of you can come out now!

>Coming out of hiding from behind a map sign, two appeared.

Uh, hi. I’m Jesse.

And I’m Lake. I guess, it’s nice to meet you.

It’s a pleasure to meet you both.

Peter: We hope you’re enjoying the festival.

Panther: Hey, we saw you guys in the dorm lobby.

Jesse: Yeah, that was quite a surprise.

Fragg: Sorry about that.

Lake: It can happen to anyone... Still, you should get your magic in order.

Panther: Give her some time, she’ll master it.

Harry: So, I guess you wish to join us.

Jesse: I don’t see why not. Nate’s already gone to bed for the night.

Lake: We’re not tired. Might as well.

Skull: Okay then...

‘Sides, we get the feelin’ you wanna talk to us about somethin’.

>Jesse lets out a sigh...

Jesse: Pretty much.
