The night came, I looked at myself in the mirror.

"So...this is what Chinese women wear nowadays," I said to myself.

I heard a chuckle, I turned to see Evie smiling.

"It's called a Cheongsam I think."

"You look beautiful Evie."

"So do you. I'm surprised after knowing each other all these years, I never seen you dress this formal. I'm also very surprised you never been on a date with a man."

"I'd rather bury myself under the wall than fool around with a guy."

"Oh Daiyu, you'll find your special someone."

"It's more complicated than that Eve. You found your special someone twenty years ago and you two are still together all those years later. At my age, it's surprising to you I'm not married with children."

"Well dear, you don't have to be ashamed to find love late in life."

"Evie...I never told you guys how old I really am."

"What? But, you're the same age as us but you look so preserved like wine. The three of us are in well in our forties. I've seen women who are much older but look child like."

"Aging is very weird sometimes."

"Especially when a single gray hair starts to form on my head."

We turned to see Rick and Alex suited up. We laughed.

The four of us walked in the entryway of the tomb display. It was Father on his chariot with his horses attached, I knew the terra-cotta statue of him was the real him due to the incident. As we started to wait for Wilson, I climbed upon the chariot.

"Careful DD," Rick said.

"You'll ruin your dress," Evie said.

"I'm fine, just taking a closer look."

I looked at the coffin behind the statue, the decoy mummy. I looked up to see Lin watching us.

"I'm gonna go check out the upstairs."

I flew up and over to Lin, she chuckled.

"I thought you left me for good," I whisper yelled.

"Nope, I've stayed here all day."

"With no food!?"

"I packed a snack."

"One snack the whole day?"

"I'm fine, I don't eat much."

I sensed Alex behind us.

"You never called after our last date."

"I don't have time for games Alex."

"You know my name but uhh...I don't know yours."

"It's Lin."
