I hid behind a tree, still wet from my swim in the lake.

"What took you so long?" Tommy demanded from the tree beside me.

"Sorry," I puffed, "I didn't want to be seen."

"Well, if we don't want to be seen then we'll best be going." Added Tubbo, and with that, we ran towards L'manburg.

We stumbled through the brambles until we found the long oak path. We then started to walk.

"Thank you," I said as we strode along the path.

"I only have one question," Tubbo started, "How did you end up there?"

I explained to him that I had gotten lost in the storm last night and that I needed a place to rest, he only nodded. "You should be a bit more careful around this place." He said.

I couldn't agree more, I should have known this place was more of a hell hole then it looked from the outside. Every Rose has its thorns.

We finally got to Tubbos house. It was small but cozy. He brought me towels and new clothes and I freshened up almost immediately.

Tommy and Tubbo sat down on a couch situated at the corner of the room and I sat with them.

"I was wondering," Tubbo started, "maybe we could have a meeting to figure out your living situation." I smiled at the idea, I didn't want to live with Philza.

Tommy cut in, "What if nobody wants her?"

I stared daggers at him but he didn't take notice, "I have a question, how come Tommy doesn't need supervision but I do, he seems to need it more than I do."

That comment earned me a glare from Tommy and a stuffed laugh from Tubbo. I only smiled, I knew that I had succeeded in annoying Tommy.

"Also, has Ghostbur gotten back yet?" I asked.

"He'll be fine." Tubbo answered, "Now, when should we hold the meeting for your... Arrival."

Tommy shrugged his shoulders and I did the same, "What about tomorrow?" I said.

Tubbo thought for a moment before he replied, "Maybe in two days so we can at least get the word out for the meeting."

I nodded and the door to Tubbos house swung open. A ghostly figure floated towards the couch. "Hello Ghostbur!" I said, he instantly brightened my mood. I didn't know what it was with him, but he just gave me a good feeling whenever I was around him.

"Hello Liliana!" He answered back with a smile. He stood beside the couch before looking at Tubbo and Tommy, "Oh, hello Tommy and Tubbo!".

"Hey, Ghostbur," Tubbo started, "did you come in here for a reason or just to say hi?"

"Oh, um... Oh yes I did actually!" Ghostbur thought for a second as if he had lost his train of thought, "I came over to see if you had any books I could read."

"I'm sorry but I don't think I do." Tubbo answered. Ghostbur's energetic mood seemed to dim a little.

"Here," Ghostbur said as he passed a book and quill over to Tubbo, "could you write me a story?" He asked with a pleading look in his eyes, it was hard to say no.

"Fine." Tubbo took the book and set it beside him on the couch, "I have a task for you Ghostbur," Ghostbur's head perked up and he started to focus a bit more, "I would like you to notify all of the citizens of L'manburg that there will be a meeting held in the middle of town in two days. I would also like to task you with building a new podium for the meeting."
