After waking up from their slumber at the gas station Mr.Li suggested that all five of them go to Luccey Locks Dinner a restaurant that the three constantly went to eat and settle down, it was also the only time Mr.Li was ever willing to pay for Barts and Terrance food. Only because Mr.Li got the food free as he and Luccey had a history one that he always avoided talking about but both Bart And Terrance figured it had something to do with her being Huli jing the Chinese equivalent of a Succubus. While everyone is eating Terrance is asking Sunny about her abilities.

“So essentially you can't keep casting spells left and right because it puts a strain on both your body and soul and both of those combined create power through sheer concentration known as mana?”

“Yes but not only that, certain task that you would think to be complex really aren't for example yesterday when I “reassembled" the store all I really did was set things to as they were before, in a way it is like resetting a clock to what it was five minutes ago. I am rewinding the stores current state of being to that of what it was an hour before it was destroyed. It is impossible to control time itself because time is an ever expanding plane of existence exactly how the theory of how the universe continuously expands infinitely it's the same concept with time. However i can manipulate time when it comes to certain inanimate objects such as this store for it is insignificant to flow of time itself. Living beings however can still be affected with limitations for example if a man was shot dead in the street i could reset his body to what it was an hour ago however he will still be dead for his soul has already left his body. Resurrection is an entirely different level of magic and is nearly impossible.”

Bart out of annoyance says

“Alright that’s enough you two, while the lesson on magic and time is quite fascinating its eight thirty in the morning it's too early for this shi-”

Bart caught himself before looking at Emily she was eating her food peacefully. With the short time that Bart has known her he noticed that Emily seemed to be calm collective and always maintained a level of respect for everyone and she seemed to dislike colorful language when it wasn't necessary so he of course decided to hold back. Emily noticed him staring so she smiled at Bart causing him to look away.

Sunny glances at them both with a grin and says

“You guys are so cute together.”

Mr.Li scoffs and says

“Ha Bart cute? the last time either Bart or Terrance were cute was when i took them in when they were both eleven years old and they were just as rude.”

“Oh come on old man were not that bad mannered.”

Mr.Li gave Terrance a scoff and went back to eating. Once all five them have finished up their breakfast Emily spoke.

“Thank you for the breakfast Mr.Li now about the ke-?”

Bart reaches across the table and grabs Emily's hand before she could raise the key above the table and whispered sternley.

“Do not show the key here.”

Bart, Mr.Li, and Terrance all scan the room intensely all patrons were still chatting and eating no one had noticed them.

Bart sits back down and begins to explain.

“It's dangerous to be flaunting items such as that key in fairview. Their are people here that would do all sorts of atrocities to obtain that key.”

Emily stunned slowly puts the key away and briefly looks around and then looks down.

Sunny after looking around the diner as well spoke up.

“Bah i'm sure we could handle anyone in this town if it came down to it.”

Sunny's enthusiasm seemed to excite terrance a little he let out a brief chuckle then Bart said with sarcasm.

“Like how you handled the 6 armed draugr terrance and i killed back at the station? Haha!”

Sunny looks at Bart with a frown and says.

“Oh haha metal boy has jokes shut up before i melt you.”

Bart lets out a loud laugh then says with a smile.

“The epidermis of my skin is literally made of tungsten do you know the melting point of tungsten Sunny?”

Emily lets out a quiet chuckle and says

“I don't think she knows what tungsten is Bart.”

While everyone was laughing Sunny looked up the melting point for tungsten and her eyes got big then she slammed her phone on the table and looked at Mr.Li and yelled

“Mr.Li Bart is picking on me!”

Once she said that Bart didn't even attempt to reason with Mr.Li he knew what was set in motion Bart got out of his seat and dashed for the exit but it was to late Mr.Li had already lobbed a flask hitting him in the back of the head Bart dropped to the floor screaming in pain Sunny then said with a big smile.

“Thanks Mr.Li!”

The whole diner stops and looks at the group Mr.Li looks around angrily and says

“What is it you fools do you want me to toss a few flasks your way too? HUH!?”

Everyone in fairview knew who Mr.Li and his boys were so most looked away intimidated by Mr.Li. There were a few who weren't afraid of him but knew Bart was resilient so they ignored them and kept eating. Mr.Li smiling at Sunny says.

“If he does it again let me know i'll put him in his place.”

Terrance not understanding the power both Emily and Sunny had over Mr.Li starts laughing loudly while taunting Bart.

“HA get fucked Bart you swine haha!”

Emily rushes over to Bart and cleanses him like she did yesterday and says.

“That was mean and uncalled for Sunny! We don't have weaknesses like they do don't take advantage of them its mean!”

Sunny frowns then looks away crossing her arms. Mr.Li called everyone back to the table after Luccey had told him off Terrance spoke first.

“Ok ok so how did you guys find the tomb for this key anyways?”

Emily answered.

“Well we simply asked around town for jobs we made it clear what our talents were so we found an employer who could pay us he was a finely dressed goblin named Wortbum and he put out a bounty on that creature you both killed yesterday. The creature was living in the tomb where we found the key.”

Bart still groaning says.

“The collector is what folks call him around here. Not a bad guy but always stuck his pointed nose where it doesn't belong he isn't dangerous but keep an eye on him.”

Emily asks.

“Why is he called the collector?”

Bart answers.

“Wortbum enjoys collecting random crap everything from ancient relics to naughty magazines in my opinion he's just a hoarder

with some useful items in his pile of junk.”

While Bart and Mr.Li were talking Terrance has a side conversation with Sunny.

“What you did in the store last night was absolutely amazing! Now im filled with curiosity as to what other amazing things you can do Sunny?”

Sunny smiles and says

“Oh i can do alot of amazing things but i think it's your turn to explain how you shapeshift into a giant beetle?”

Terrance smiles and says

“Haha to be honest i don't know the science behind my abilities. I just... i dunno feel it like something as simple as swallowing or speaking. I just can transform into a giant beetle an ironclad beetle to be specific on species.”

Sunny frowns and says

“You don't know how? How long have you been able to transform?”

Terrance says while shoveling pancakes into his mouth

“Ever since Bart and i were eleven years old we have had our abilities.”

Sunny looks at Bart then back at terrance and says

“I can help you two figure out how your abilities work and maybe even enhance them!

Sunny’s eyes light up and she says

“Can i examine you both from head to toe it will be quick i promise?!”

Terrance smiles and says with a sly smile

“You can examine me whenever you want to.”

Emily's face grows red with anger and she screams

“No you can't examine anyone you airhead! Do you realize what your asking!?”

Bart and Terrance start to laugh loudly. Sunny then yells with a huge guilty smile on her face

“Oh quit being a drama queen Emily this is specifically for research purposes!”

Emily shouts

“What type of research involves them stripping for you!”

Mr.Li while holding back laughter nearly in tears says

“Ok ok that's enough were disturbing the other customers.”

Emily sits back down crossing her arms and pouts Sunny sits down as well smiling. When they are done eating everyone heads out to find the tomb where Emily and Sunny found the key. The van stops a few miles away from the gas station. Emily says

“Were here the tomb is a few miles that way.”

Terrance and Bart both groan Terrance then says

“God damn why did it have to be way the fuck out their.”

Bart face palms and says

“Not again i hate doing this shit.”

Mr.Li jumps out of the van and says

“Bring out my throne boys! Chop chop!”

Bart and Terrance haul out a foldable chinese litter throne. Sunny laughs, Emily puts her hand over her mouth and holds back laughter. Mr.Li climbs up onto his throne and says.

“Well time to get going lead the way ladies well be right behind you!”
