Clarissa sits on one of the benches in the library alone, while Angie is currently busy looking through the bookshelves.

Clarissa is busy reading a book when Angie finally comes to find her.

Angie Here it is! I finally found it!

Angie shows Clarissa a book titled 'Fairytales and Magic'.

Clarissa What? A book about fairytales?
Huh, so this what it is for you? Just fairytales?

Angie nods her head and takes out a flower from her bag, then opens the book on the page where the same flower is depicted as in the illustration.

Angie Do you see this flower, Clarissa? That's called the 'Astral Lily'.
Clarissa ... the book just says "Star Flower"
Angie Well, an Astral Lily sounds cooler, aren't it.

Angie pits another flower into Clarissa's hair

Clarissa feels a tingle all over her body and quickly closes the book before anyone notice. Her cheeks redden.

Angie Just a little fun, Clarissa.

Angie sits closer to Clarissa, and Clarissa wraps her arm around Angie.

Before they can share a moment, their tender moment is interrupted.

The voice cuts through the awkward moment between the two of them.

Lana So, are you ready to do a group project?

Both girls turn towards Lana, their expressions a mix of surprise and embarrassment.

Angie Um, yeah

Lana's expression becomes more worried at the sight of Angie's flushed cheeks

Lana Why? Are you feeling bad or something?
Angie No... no...

Angie looks down

Angie I just got distracted by this flower.

Angie looks at the delicate bloom, a blush spreading across her cheeks.

Lana's eyes widen, realization dawning on her. A matching blush appears on her own face.

Clarissa Oh my gosh...

Clarissa puts her head into her arms

Lana Sorry, I guess I kinda... interrupted you guys.

Lana rubs her neck, feeling somewhat guilty of unintentionally intruding.

Lana If you two need some time off... or want me to leave... Please say so.
Angie Oh, no!

We would love to spend time with you! Don't worry! Time to do the project!

Angie slightly giggles and looks at Clarissa and sees the nervousness on her face, so she reaches out and grabs her hand.

Relaxing a bit, Clarissa gives her a soft smile, which causes Angie's heart to flutter.

Before she has a chance to process what is going on in her mind, Lana clears her throat, reminding Angie of her presence.

Lana Actually... I've already prepared your report for today... so, I'll do it myself since you two didn't have much time,

Angie and Clarissa stare blankly at her for a moment

Clarissa You don't have to write it yourself...
Lana What? Of course, I did, I'm not going to let you do it all by yourself!
Clarissa But-
Lana No buts!
Clarissa Fine!
Lana Awesome! Alright, so you'll have to take notes while I read the reports, okay?
Clarissa Sure...

Time passes

A laptop with pictures of sea creatures is seen on the table. Angie and Clarissa look tired and bored, listening to their classmate lecturing.

Lana Now, according to the textbook we're supposed to use, you need to learn how to identify specific species of aquatic animals, such as jellyfish and sea cucumbers

Lana's voice fades into the background as Clarissa and Angie whisper to each other.

Clarissa I never realized how boring learning about marine animals would sound...
Angie Boring lecture is not a giant spider, we can handle it.
Clarissa Yeah, but at least that spider world was so cool, scary but cool. I know we almost died there, but I start to miss magic a bit.

Lana bangs her hand on the table, noticing that girls aren't listening to her

Lana I've been meaning to ask you two something...

Clarissa and Angie exchange puzzled glances, then look back at Lana.

Lana Did you guys know that there's a whole colony of mermaids in this lake?

Clarissa looks at Angie with worrying eyes and then whispering

Clarissa Oh, no... What else our traveling did?!

Lana picks flower from Clarissa's head

Lana He-he, are you actually buying that?
Clarissa Em... well, to be honest, yes...

Clarissa rubs the back of her neck

Lana It's a joke, of course, but...

Lana twirls flower in her hand

Lana Honestly, I really wish to see mermaids, if I had a chance

Flower in Lana's hand started to glow

Clarissa LANA, WAIT!
Lana LANA, WAIT

Light surrounds all 3 girls and they disappear

Annabelle, witnessing it, drops her book.
