Logan put the jar in the centre of the room, taping it to the floor. "Patton, magic doesn't exist."

"Yea it does!" Patton huffed, sitting cross legged on the wood floor.

Everyone was sitting in one way or another. Whether it be on the floor or on the bed. They were debating on if the light was or was not magic.

"Name one instance of magic. I'll wait."

Patton crosses his arms. "If heat rises then why is it so cold high up in the air?"

"Pat, that isn't magic-" Roman spoke up.

"It is too!"

Logan sighed, pushing up his glasses. "Simply, the farther you are from the earth, the thinner the atmosphere gets. This is also why it is harder to breathe on higher mountains."

Patton opened his mouth to contradict what Logan was saying but huffed and looked to Janus. "Jan-Jan! Come on, it is magic!"

Janus put his hands up innocently. "Don't pull me into this."

"See, Patton? There is always a scientific explanation." Logan smiled, sitting on the bed.

"Wha- No! This IS magic!"

Logan groaned as him and Patton began to bicker, Virgil honestly not caring as he hid himself in his hoodie whereas Janus rolled his eyes.

"I don't know Lo-Lo, seems like magic to me." Remus mumbled.

Janus shrugged. "If we just opened it then we'd know."

"...Hey YEAH!" Roman said, the realization hitting him.

"Is that really a good idea..? I mean, if it is magic then we probably shouldn't mess with it.." Virgil spoke up, peeking his head out of his hoodie.

"Oh come on, JD-elightful." Roman smiled, leaning on Virgil. "We'll be perfectly fine!"

Logan pinched the bridge of his nose, annoyed. "Fine, we'll open it."

"Okie dokie!" Patton hummed, taking the jar and handing it to Remus. "You found it so you get to open it!"

"Thanks Pat." Remus muttered, taking the jar in his hands and twisting off the lid.

The light inside immediately darted out of the jar and began bouncing off the walls. The group of friends ducked and shuffled away quickly to avoid getting hit by it.

Logan backed into the wall, about to dodge the light when Remus backed into him. The light danced throughout the room before making a dash at Logan and Remus. It hit Remus in the chest, the two of them disappearing in a puff of smoke.

Panicking, Patton grabbed Janus' arm, wanting to hold onto someone.

"Patton, let me go!"

"But Jan-"

The light darted at Janus and Patton as Patton let out a shriek, the ball of light hitting both of them and they as well, disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"What the hell-?!" Virgil said, the light bouncing off the walls again.

Virgil scrambled to the door, reaching for the door handle.

"Virge, you'll let it out of the room!"

The light hesitated in the air for a moment before starting at Virgil. Roman panicked, pulling himself off the floor and running in front of Virgil, the ball hitting him as he fell back into Virge. The two, again, disappearing in a puff of smoke.
