*Sylvia's POV*

The next day arrived as we were on a ship back to Menagerie.... still in Vale's docks... we were waving towards those we met... that means aunts Summer and Ruby, then Harriet, Neo and Fredie..

Fredie: "Bye guys... have safe travel."

You: "Hope we will..."

Velvet: "And if not we can take care of it right?'

You: "Yes." The ship honked and we started moving.... once Vale disappeared behind horizon I looked around at other passangers.

Vixen: "It's good to go back..."

Alissa: "Yeah..." she sounded sad though.

Velvet: "What's wrong Alissa?"

Alissa: "My parents probably didn't even notice I went away..."

Blaze: "Your parents... you told me about them..." He made a disgusted look.

You: "Hey it's gonna be okay Alissa..."

Alissa: "I really hope..."

???: "Hey isn't that Y/N Belladonna and his wife and daughter?"

??? 2: "No way... owners of The Strict Phase and Memento Mori on one ship? I gotta be dreaming." I looked around... it was two guys talking...

???: "It's not that impossible if you think about it... they are family after all.."

??? 2: "Ah right.."

You: "[And now they'll want us to sing for them.]" The captain approached us.

Captain: "It's an honor to have such celebrities on our ship... say would you like to have a VIP room?"

You: "No... regular is enough for us..."

Captain: "Are you sure? You won't be disappointed."

Velvet: "Yes we are sure..."

Captain: "Very well then..." he left again.

Vixen: "He didn't want us to sing..."

Velvet: "Maybe it's not time for that yet."

You: "You're right..."

There was a guy with some newspaper passing by, I noticed the date on them... it was today's...

Sylvia: "Excuse me sir." He looked at me.

???: "Ah Sylvia Belladonna right?"

Sylvia: "Yes... can I read that newspaper?"

???: "But of course... I'll buy another one."

You: "How much does it cost?"

???: "3 Lien."

Velvet: "Heard that?" I gave him 3 lien so he can buy another one without losing any money of his own.

Then I looked at the newspaper... it was all about yesterday's competition... detailed commentaries about the rounds, and how Flaming Crystals cheated in the end... then there was a chart about popularity between us and The Strict Phase... I saw that it was getting more to a draw... and there was a note that it was mainly thanks to 'Crying Blue' that absolutely hyped the crowd...

We already released it and to be honest... it broke all my expectations... even those I didn't expect...

On the other page was an article about a child that was beaten up... they say they caught the criminal in action and when I looked at the picture of him my eyes widened... but then I smiled...
