"What is spend a penny? She said you were doing that . " Ariana asked . "Washroom . I escape as much as possible . " Gregory said as he turned and started to walk . "Then what is rumpy pumpy?" Ariana asked as she walked up beside Gregory . Instantly Gregory tripped over himself and practically fell on the floor but caught himself in time . "Did she say anything else after that?!" He spat as his face turned pink . "Something about eating meat and vegetables . " Ariana replied . "Was it, meat and two veg?" Gregory asked as he straightened himself out but his face turned a bright red . "Yes exactly!" Ariana replied as she clapped her hands once . "What does it mean?" Ariana asked .

"It means that woman is insane and needs to satisfy her needs with someone else . " Gregory said in an annoyed tone . He looked back and saw that Ms . Boswell was still watching them . Her murderous aura turned pink and fluffy . Gregory clicked his tongue then wrapped his arm around Ariana's shoulders, pulling her in closer . "What are you doing?!" Ariana hissed . "You owe me for what happened the other night . I'm just collecting now . So behave . " Gregory whispered into Ariana's ear . "I would be fine if I knew what the h.e.l.l you are talking about?!" Ariana whispered as loudly as she dared . "Stop with your silly games . " Gregory scolded her . "Fine don't believe me . I will get my revenge . " Ariana pouted

"You're not joking?" Gregory asked as he looked down at Ariana . "Why would I joke? All I know is I've been asleep for three days and nights and I woke up this morning with no recollection . Vasu doesn't want to really tell me anything . Aroha said she would but I have no idea when . All they were willing to tell me is a rebel-?!" Ariana was silenced by Gregory's hand . "Shut it!" Gregory hissed between gritted teeth . Ariana glared at Gregory until he removed his hand . He then pointed upwards . "Oh wow . . . " Ariana exclaimed .

Up above was an intricate railway track . A steam powered train was just about to pa.s.s and Ariana couldn't help but stare . A pine cone with stick figure arms and adorable, white, round eyes was wearing a blue conductors uniform was happily manning the train . The conductor halted the train about two feet away from the bookshelf that Ariana and Gregory we're close to .

Suddenly a group of pine cone people wearing red neckerchiefs, tiny red fascinators and red blazer vests bungee jumped from the train carts . The each did amazing acrobatics as they pulled out ma.s.sive paper hang gliders from one of the pockets of their blazer vest . They skillfully sailed through the air towards the bookshelf . Each one pumped the air in victory when they landed successful, their little cheers were so cute and sweet sounding Ariana couldn't help but let out a small giggle .

Now that each pine cone person was secured on the bookshelf the unfolded their paper gliders and read the contents of the note . Soon they started searching around . Once they found the book they were looking for they unhooked their bungee cords and brought the cord to the spine of the book . Ariana's eyes grew with wonder as she watched the pine cone people pull on the cord three times as they themselves never let go of the cord .

The books flew upwards towards the carts of the train . The moment the books were just above the train the pine cone people flipped backwards using the sheets of papers as parachutes . As the books were pulled closer towards the carts, Ariana gasped . She feared that there would be a huge collision since the train was small compared to the books . To Ariana's surprise the books shrunk into tiny thumbnail squares and disappeared into the carts . While the pine cone people landed gracefully on top of the carts . They all started to high five one another for their successful mission .

The conductor turned back and made eye contact with Ariana . There was a small pause as they held eachother's gazes . The conductor s.h.i.+vered involuntarily but held his gaze firmly in place . Ariana gave him a tiny wave and it seemed to calm him down considerably . He tipped his hat, gave her a big smile then sounded off the whistle . The pine cone people sitting on the train carts looked around in confusion and caught sight of Ariana . They looked at the conductor and saw his big smile . They each pulled off their neckerchiefs and started to wave the fabric in the air . Ariana couldn't help but smile and started to wave enthusiastically .

"Who are they?!" Ariana shouted with sparkling eyes . "They are the minny kappy . Relatives of the bush folk . They actually come from the same region as Ms . Boswell . They kinda stowed away in a s.h.i.+pment that the Headmaster received a long time ago and well, here they are . " Gregory said with a slightly gently smile but it didn't last long . Ariana would have never know Gregory knew how to smile if she didn't catch the fleeting moment . She started to feel more relaxed around Gregory and thought would test how far she could go . "So they work here? Why?" Ariana asked .

"The bush folk a.s.ses 'the weeds' if you will, at the bottom . Many students think they can put on a nice act and hide their true faces . So they act as our eyes and ears when students come . They also watch the gate and alert us if someone tries to leave on foot . While the minny kappy serve as our retrieval and distribution system in the library . Students can submit their book requests at the front desk . The librarian on duty will have you fill out a request form and give it to the minny kappy . You are a.s.signed a number and if your still in the building your number will flash . If the minny kappy see your flas.h.i.+ng number they will deliver your book to you . If not it gets left at the front desk for a later pick up . " Gregory explained enthusiastically .

Ariana was dumbstruck, she didn't think Gregory would actually answer her seriously . She also never knew Gregory had such a gentle looking face when his guard was down . "Did I lose you?" Gregory sneered and Ariana was about ready to face palm herself, she knew it wouldn't have lasted but she hoped it would . "No it's very straight forward . " Ariana replied without much care and arrogantly stuck her nose up into the air . "I just never knew how much you liked this place . " She continued to say as she took a quick peek at Gregory . "Believe what you like . " Gregory answered courtly . "Thank you I will . " Ariana replied with a light chuckle . "So will you tell me now why and how I owe you?" Ariana asked as she moved her hand to grab a lock of her hair . She then twirled it around in between her fingers waiting for Gregory to respond .
