"We will, thank you," Alex said after all the food had been distributed.

Carly was enjoying the food and the company very much. " Tracy do you know of any towns that are near mountains?" She asked. She had a feeling if there were , that's where her mom would be.

"Not that I know of" Tracy admitted. "Why do you ask?"

Deanna told them what Thalia had been told by Morpheus and held back the sadness she had been feeling.

" I know of a mountain town. " Daniel said. That was the town he had been raised in and home to Bishies that could fly.

"You do?" Carly said as she turned towards Daniel, curiosity, brimming in her eyes.

" I do. I'm from a town that's high in the mountains." Daniel said. He wondered why Carly wanted to know, but kept his mouth shut.

Max grinned lightly as she overheard Daniel, knowing that they would be starting there to search for Carly and Deanna's mother. She just hoped that they could find her.

" It isn't a very big town. I can give you directions if you want." Daniel said. He hoped Deanna and Carly would find their mother.

"Could you, please?" Carly asked, her food finished.

" I will. It takes 3 days to get there but that's during good weather. If its snowing it will take a week. " Daniel said and made a mental not to get a map ready.

"Thanks for telling me Daniel," Carly replied with a smile on her face.

" You are welcome. One note though you guys will want to dress warmly. It gets really cold even during the summer months. " Daniel added and was glad he was able to help.

"Noted," Alex said as he was listening in on the conversation, hoping that Carly didn't mind and would apologize if she did.

Carly didn't mind that Alex had been listening in. She knew that she and Deanna would need thier friends help during this next adventure.

" Would anyone care for dessert?" The waiter asked as he picked up the plates.

Alex looked around. He didn't want desert himself, but he wouldn't deny it to anyone else.

Eve declined dessert, since she was very full from the salmon she had eaten and saw that everyone else declined dessert too.

"Alright then, I'll be back with your check," the waiter said as he started taking a few plates to the back.

Tracy got her bank card out and was glad she had gotten paid today. " I hope you all had fun tonight. " She said with a smile on her face.

"We did, thank you" Alex and the others said with a grin on their faces.

Tracy was glad that everyone had a great time and hoped they didn't have to leave yet. She would have someone fill in for Deanna, but would miss her once she left with Alex and the others.

Carly hoped that they could stay in town for a little while longer. While she wanted to get on the road as soon as possible and find her mother, she also wanted to see how Deanna was adjusting to having a job at the gym. She also had a feeling that Alex would like to meet with his dragon before turning in for the night as well.

(Skip to the next day?)

(sure)

Eve woke up early the next morning since it was her turn for breakfast. She was glad they would be here for a bit, since it would give her the chance to help Salem if he was ready to catch a Bishie.

Salem woke up soon after Eve left the room and while they weren't sleeping in the same bed...yet, they were sleeping in the same room. He promised her when he first asked for her to be his girlfriend that he would move at her pace. Yawning lightly, he got out of the bed and headed to the bathroom in order to take a shower.
