"Okay, okay, geez. Sorry." Sasha rolls her eyes.

Anne glares at her.

"Here she is." Anne says, standing in front of Valeriana's hut. Her eyes drift over to the sign.  "WHY IS SHE ALWAYS OUT TO LUNCH!?" Her voice echoes.

"I told you." A voice from behind them says. "It's the most important meal of the day!"

"Valeriana!" Anne and Marcy exclaim in unison.

"Who's this?" Sasha asks.

"She's the lady we met in the Second Temple. At first she said that Anne was 'unworthy of possession of the music box', but then she whisked Anne away, and a few minutes later, BOOM! Anne had the charged stone!" Marcy explains.

"Um, about that...I never fully charged the stone." Anne says.

"WHAT!?" Marcy exclaims, letting go of Anne, as Anne falls into the snow.

"I should've brought a jacket..." Anne shivers.

"Sorry, Anne." Marcy pulls her up.

"Maybe that's why you got your Calamity Powers first!" Sasha exclaims.

"Blonde is correct." Valeriana says.

"Sasha. My name is Sasha." Sasha says.

"Don't correct me!" Valeriana exclaims.

"Sorry." Sasha mumbles, and crosses her arms.

"But...Sasha's right about me getting my powers first since the blue stone wasn't fully charged?" Anne asks.

"Blonde girl is correct." Valeriana says.

"Again, my name is Sasha." Sasha says.

"Don't correct me!" Valeriana waves her staff and gets rid of Sasha's jacket.

"WHAT THE FROG, DUDE!?" Sasha exclaims.

Anne sighs. "Come join the hug circle, Sash."

"I'm fine." Sasha crosses her arms.

"Okay, fine. Freeze to death. That'll teach you not to correct me." Valeriana says.

Anne, Marcy, Sasha, and Valeriana all walk inside Valeriana's hut.

"You have heaters!?" Marcy exclaims, as Anne rushes over to one.

"Polly probably made it." Anne says.

"POLLY!?" Sasha and Marcy exclaim in unison.

"Yeah. She's a tech whiz." Anne says.

Marcy takes out her journal and writes in it.

"Marcy, focus." Sasha snaps her fingers in front of Marcy's face.

"Sorry, sorry." Marcy says. She puts her journal away.

"So, Valeriana, why are we here?" Anne asks.

"Well, I assume that you know that The Core is back." Valeriana says.

The three girls nod.

"And that it has taken the form of Darcy." Valeriana says.

The three girls nod.

"Then you probably also know that you need your Calamity Powers to defeat it again." Valeriana says.

"Oh, well, that's no problem!" Sasha exclaims.

The three girls transform into their Calamity Forms.

"Good." Valeriana nods.

"This. Is. SO. AWESOME!!" Marcy exclaims, and sends a die through the roof.

"MARCY! BE CAREFUL!" Valeriana yells.

"Sorry." Marcy hangs her head.

"Don't hurt my little cinnamon roll!" Anne hugs Marcy from the side.

"I'm your cinnamon roll~?" Marcy asks cutely.

Anne blushes. "Uh...well...um..."

"I'm your cinnamon roll~!" Marcy exclaims cutely.

Sasha smirks.

"Cut it out." Anne mouths.

"No." Sasha says out loud.

"'No' what?" Marcy asks.

"Nothing!" Anne exclaims quickly.

The three girls transform back.

"Yeah, sure. 'Nothing'." Sasha smirks.

Marcy makes her face three inches away from Anne's face. "What happened~?"

Anne blushes. "Um...n-nothing yet." She kisses Marcy.

"YESSSSSSS! THAT'S MY ANNE!" Sasha exclaims.

After Anne and Marcy kiss, Marcy stands there stunned. "Wha-huh?"

"What? Was that not good enough~?" Anne teases.

Marcy blushes. "I knew I was your cinnamon roll~!"

"Awwwwwww!" Sasha exclaims.

"Shut up, Sasha." Anne rolls her eyes.

"Hmm...how about no?" Sasha teases. "Anne and Marcy sittin' in a tree--"

"BLONDE GIRL! FOCUS!!" Valeriana yells.

"Yes, ma'am!" Sasha exclaims.

"Heh." Anne says.

Sasha glares at Anne.

"As I'm sure you're aware, you need your Calamity Powers to stop The Core again." Valeriana says.

"Yes, we are aware." Sasha says.

"DON'T INTERUPT ME!" Valeriana yells.

"Yes, ma'am! Sorry, ma'am!" Sasha exclaims.

"Anyways...since you are older, you might be able to defeat The Core again with ease. But...then again..." Valeriana paises. "You also might not. So, be prepared."

Anne raises her hand.

"Yes, Anne?" Valeriana says.

"Will I have to die again?" Anne asks.

"No...it won't come to that point...hopefully." Valeriana says.

"HOPEFULLY!?" Sasha exclaims.

"But you still need to be prepared." Valeriana says.

Anne looks like she wants to say something more.

Marcy notices this. She pats Anne's head. "What's wrong, Anna Banana?"

"Hm?" She looks up at Marcy. "Oh. It's just that..." She takes a deep breath. "When I died from using all three stones, I met the guardian of the stones. And right before it sent be back, it basically said I'm gonna die in 78 years..."

"WHAT!?" Sasha exclaims.

"Anne...are you...dying?" Marcy says worriedly.

"No, no, no! I...I don't think so..." Anne sighs. "But...now that we're 10 years older...it's 68 years now..."

"This...this is all my fault!" Marcy runs outside.

"Marcy!" Anne runs after her.

Ah, great. Sasha thinks. They left me alone with this crazy lady.

"Blonde girl!" Valeriana exclaims.

"Dah!" Sasha jumps. "Y-yes?"

"Would you like some tea?" Valeriana asks sweetly.
