"It was worth a shot." 

That was the last thing she said to the dragons before patting their snouts gently. Hey, if Leila got to hug them, she didn't think it would hurt to pat them. At least she didn't ask for a ride. 

When all was said and done, she noticed Jasper and Lesley looking sick to their stomachs. And then she noticed the puke. "Gross." Was all she said before she helped Jasper and Lesley (if he needed it).

Days past, or what felt like days- Ace wasn't sure of the time since she had gotten to Nowhere. It was hard to keep track of it all, but they ended up having a not so peaceful time resting up. It seemed like nothing but bad news as soon as they got there. 

Witches invaded, and worst of all, VinVin had died. She didn't know him that well, but she did talk to him a few times. He seemed like he would've been a fun addition to the group... But, there was nothing they could do now. During the funeral, Ace gave her condolences as everyone else did, and remained in the back for the rest. She didn't think her words of encouragement would help at a time like this. 

"If they're so powerful, why are we being thrown in to help? Especially if we're practically rookies in the guides eyes?" She asked this one, only to remember that Harper signed them up fire the job. She gave a laugh and a shrug. "I say that's fair enough. If Harper thinks we can do it, then we can. We've made it this far. Home is close don't you think?"

Ace took her place in the front of the group- not including the guides and eyed the forest ahead. Gently, she began to sing [I] This is Halloween [/I] in a slightly spooky manner. Even if it was for a  children's movie, she still sang it. She may not have known too much like the others did, but she was never deprived of the children's movies like Disney and Pixar... Those, and a few violence orientated she watched as she took residence in her "adopted home."

"Ride with the moon in the dead of night~"

It made her look up to see if the moon was out. To her dismay, the trees and possible fog covered that. So, she continued.  

"I am the who when you call, Who's there?. I am the wind blowing through your hair. I am the shadow on the moon at night, filling your dreams to the brim with fright."

She giggled and turned to look at the others, eventually stopping her song. "Coincidence that we're lost? Or we just have misdirected guides? Nah, what will be a coincidence is when- I mean if, one: the witches find us before we find them,  or two: We fall into their house, or trap." Way to go Ace. Jinx them all. 

Riley was soon next to her and Ace laughed. "I thought we were already attempting straight lines? I would've suggested to mark the path, but then the witches would probably ambush us in no time. But it's not like I have any ideas, so forward it is?" She said it as a question just in case someone wanted to object and suggest another way.

 Even so, Ace was walking on forward, trying to make out things in the dark. "Evil or not, they should really think about getting some lights in this place. No one can see in the dark unless you have nightvision- hey can we get nightvision powers...or goggles? That would be pretty cool- er helpful. Imagine playing hide and seek here with nightvision goggles. Awesome!" Somewhere along asking and just making conversation, she started to ramble to whoever listened. It seemed she had forgotten about the potential danger... as usual.
