Jackie Boi:
Me, Artie, and Nova should all be leaving at the same time right?

Artie:
No

Jackie Boi:
Umm. So are you not coming??

Artie:
You're not coming.

Ding!

(Jackie Boi: Let me in? Lol.)

Knock knock knock

I jumped, quickly looking around the room before my eyes landed on the window.

"Jack!" I jumped up and quickly ran over, "what in the name of First Light—"

"Heh. Wanted to make sure you had everything packed." He chucked.

"How did you even get up here? I'm on the second floor."

"Magic."

I pushed him and he laughed.

"Nova! Are you ready to go? The plane leaves in three and a half hours, and we told Aster we would pick up Jack." Pitch yelled up from the kitchen.

"No need! We just have to pick up my stuff!" Jack yelled back.

"Jack!" I shoved him again. He fell back onto my bed clutching his side.

Click

The door opened to reveal Pitch, who looked back and forth between the two of us with a tired expression.

"Why do I even bother with you two?" Pitch asked.

"Maybe... because you love us?" I guessed.

"Pitch!? Love? It's the end of the world!" Jack gasped.

We both starting laughing as Pitch just shook his head.

As we drove into the parking lot, I looked over at Nova, who was looking out the window at the stars. Her fingers tapping against the small, light blue, box in her lap.

We were supposed to be meeting Artemis and Nova's Aunt's Boyfriend here (or something like that). From my knowledge, he was just here to make sure we got to camp alright.

Ding!

I looked down at my phone and Nova glanced towards me. I opened the messages.
