"Is this place all one continent?" Seth asked, looking over at them.

"What?" Belle blinked, surprised.

"Is Bishiworld all one continent? Or are there multiple continents and oceans and stuff?"

"Far as I know, just one continent, but there are oceans. Why?"

"Well I was just thinking that it would be cool to have an amusement park, like a zoo or like SeaWorld. I mean, it would be one way to earn money, and I'm sure there are people here who love animals, right?"

Belle was silent for several moments. "Seth, you are a true genius."

"I don't think anyone's ever thought of that before," Andy added. "I can't imagine what it would take to put something like that together, though."

"I can," Belle said with a little grin. "It actually wouldn't be as hard as one might think. I mean, we'd have to talk to the higher ups about it, sure, but it could certainly be done. With a lot of help, which the bishis could maybe be persuaded to provide." She was sitting up straight now, thinking it over and planning how it could be done.

"I get the feeling I just started something crazy," Seth muttered.

"I think you did, too," Andy replied, watching Belle warily.

Belle seemed to shake herself out of it, keeping the planning to a minimum for now. "Don't worry, I'm sane-ish."

"Ish," Andy repeated, teasingly. "Meh, if you weren't partway insane, you wouldn't be here. None of us would."

Belle beamed. "My sentiments exactly," she said with a broad grin. "So what do you two want to do now?"

"Well..." Andy said. "I think my guys are starting to get tired, finally... Maybe heading back to the hotel would be a good idea, at least for a little while."

Belle nodded. "We can grab food along the way, too. Maybe we'll come back later and challenge the gym leader."

"You two can do that," Seth said. "I'll just watch."

"I keep forgetting you're new here," Andy said to Seth. "You're so calm, I keep forgetting you're not used to everything."

Seth chuckled. "I have been in some pretty crazy situations before," he said with a little smile. "This isn't bad, to me."

Belle stood and stretched, looking at the other two. "Okay, come on. Let's go get some lunch and go relax for a bit."

Andy nodded and stood up as well.

"Come on, guys," she called to her bishies. "Finish up, it's about time to leave."

Belle looked over at her guys to find Eclipse was already done and rounding everyone else up. She smiled and shook her head a little; he really was too good. She only had to wait a few minutes for all of hers to be done, though most of them vanished back to their balls so they wouldn't have such a huge group.

Andy waited a minute or so for her group to finish up and vanish into their balls, except for Sess. That didn't surprise her, though. She knew he didn't want to let her out of his sight.

"Ready where you are," she said to Belle.

Belle nodded and left the gym, Eclipse, Thomas, Duo, and Lucifer following her. She murmured something to Duo, who grinned and headed off to go find a good place to get food, while she followed at a more sedate pace.

--- ((yeah, my scene skips are lame))

Andy woke up the next morning snuggled comfortably next to Sess. A quick twitch of her foot told her that Kaelas was still at the foot of the bed, so obviously he had no issues with Sess being in the bed. She was tempted to go back to sleep, but then she remembered what was going on that day and sighed. Time to get up, then.

Belle was already awake and in the shower. She emerged a few minutes later fully dressed, though her hair was still wet. She'd been too nervous to sleep properly.

She managed a little smile and a wave for Andy, heading over to her bag again to pull out her brush. Eclipse took it from her and started brushing out her hair carefully, murmuring to her quietly, soothingly. Belle relaxed in tiny increments, though she was still nervous.

Andy waved back as she got out of bed and gathered her things to shower. She knew Sess was awake when she got up, because he sat up as well. Once she was done with her shower and was dressed, she came back out and sat down to start brushing out her own hair. She was hacking at a stubborn knot in her hair when the brush was gently taken out of her hand.

"Let me do that," Sess said, turning her around. Obediently, Andy let him work the tangles out of her hair.

Eclipse braided Belle's hair, tying it off with a strip of soft leather, before he set her brush back in her bag. Belle pulled her shoes on and double-checked to make sure she had everything, fidgeting nervously. Eclipse sighed softly and moved over to her, pulling her into a hug and murmuring something to her.

It was obvious to Andy that Belle was nervous, and she didn't blame the other trainer in the least. She herself was nervous as well, but she wasn't as fidgety as Belle was. Instead, she kept twisting the hem of her shirt around her fingers and playing with whatever loose ends she could. She didn't notice that Sess had finished brushing out her hair until he offered her the comb that she used for his hair. She blinked and then took it, knowing he was offering to let her comb his hair out to keep her busy. Glancing around, she saw that her things were already packed up and ready to go.

"Ready when you are, Belle," she said as she mindlessly combed out Sess' hair.

Belle nodded. "Alright. I guess I'll go get Seth and then we can go." She left the room and a moment later came back with Seth and Olivia in tow.

"Ready as I'll ever be," Belle muttered, moving over to Eclipse again.

"We may as well get it overwith," Andy pointed out as she put the comb away and slipped her belt on. She rolled one of her spare bishiballs through her fingers, needing something to keep her hands busy. "We should go and meet the officer, the faster we get to it, the faster we can try to forget about it."

Belle nodded her agreement. "Come on, then. Let's get this over with." She led the way out of the hotel and over to the police station.

"Good morning," the officer greeted them. "Are you three ready to go?"

Belle nodded, more pale than normal, keeping close to Eclipse.

"Alright. I figured we can make this easy on ourselves and we can ride over there. I think I remember one of you has a dragon, yes?"

"I do," Andy replied, staying close to Sess. "It's easier to let him out once we're out past the gates, so he doesn't accidentally crush anything important."

The officer nodded. "Good. If he does not mind carrying you all, I have my own transportation." He led the way out of the station and out past the gates, nodding to the guard on duty. He went a little ways away from the gates to an open area. He tapped two of his bishiballs, and a moment later a bronze dragon and the dragon's rider stood on one side of the clearing.

Belle stared for a moment. "F'lar and Mnementh?"

"Correct." The officer shot her a pleased smile. "Good to know some people still read those books."
