A green haired girl walked down the street and passed and alley.

"I knew you were lost," said a boy with grey hair.

"Mercury, I will seriously pay you to shut up!" Said the green haired girl, pointing a wallet full of money at him.

"That's not your money," said Mercury.

"But it could be yours for five minutes of silence?"

"Hmm, no deal,"

"Hmph, fine," said the girl, walking away.

"Whatever, you want me," said Mercury, following her.

The streets of Vale was always busy, now with the addition of new students around the world, it's even busier.

"So how much farther?" Asked Mercury.

"A few blocks," said the Girl.

"Ugh, this place is so dull!" Stated Mercury.

"Eh, I kinda like it, tall buildings, diverse culture," said the Girl.

"And nice, dopey people who are easy to pickpocket," said Mercury looking at the girl.

"That's evey city," said the Girl.

"Oh, Emerald! Master Thief! Please don't take my money! I barely have enough to get by," Said Mercury, mocking Emerald. Emerald growls and walks away.

"You're no fun today," said Mercury with a sigh.

The two arrived at a local book store. Mercury parted with Emerald, looking at the books. Emerald walked to the counter and dinged the bell.

"Be right there!" Said the supposed owner.

"Welcome to Tukson's book trade, home to every book under the sun," said the owner while transporting stacks of books.

"How may-" the owner stopped when he saw Emerald.

"How may I help you?"

"Just browsing," said Mercury in the background.

"Actually, I was wondering.. do you have any copies of The Thief and The Butcher?"

"Yes, we do,"

"That's great!" Exclaimed Emerald.

"Would you.. like a copy?" Asked the owner.

"No, just wondering," said Emerald. Mercury closes a book, making a loud slam.

"Oh! Oh! What about Violet's garden? In paperback?" Asked Emerald.

"He's got it. Hardback too," said Mercury, holding up a book.

"Ooh, options are nice,"

"Eh, no pictures," said Mercury slamming another book shut.

"Hey! Do you have any comics?" Asked Mercury.

"Near the front," said the owner.

"Oh! No wait! What about.. third crusade?" Asked Emerald.

"Umm.. I... don't believe we carry that one," said the owner. Mercury slams another book shut.

"Oh," said Mercury.

"What was this place called again?" Asked Emerald.

"Tukson's book trade,"

"Aaand, you're Tukson?" Asked Emerald.

"That's right," said Tukson.

"So then I take it that you're the one who came up with the catchphrase?" Asked Emerald.
