"Okay, people, game plan."

Earlier on me and Mike had stepped through the wall and had instantly been hit with a fist full of curses. I mean, what did we expect? For the two of them to shut up as we entered, doubtful. They didn't even realise we were there, it was kind of frustrating actually, but, it gave me an excuse to clap my hands and be dramatic. Why give up a golden opportunity?

I had clapped my hands and shouted "Okay, people, game plan." which made me double over with laughter as Tillie and Aaron looked up shocked with fear filled eyes.

That led us to where we are now, sat in a circle. Me beside Mike and Aaron and Tillie opposite, who was glaring daggers, at least that was better than having to sit next to her. That I couldn't handle. The two boys had done me a small mercy, if you ask me. Probably for Tillie too, I'm sure she wouldn't enjoy being punched in the face any time soon, especially not after our little fight earlier. Now I'm thinking about it, it was more likely Aaron and Mike had sat between us as a safety precaution. Eh, either way, I don't care, we have other things to focus on now.

"This is so stupid," said Tillie, edging closer to Aaron. "I feel like I'm in a share circle or something."

"Deal with it." I retorted, now I'm regretting sitting as far away as possible, I would love to slap that scowl off her face.

I wouldn't irritate her if I were you, we need her to help us figure this out, she may be mean and as much as I hate to admit it... she's got brains. said Mike, I nodded and tried to smile across at her. Nope I couldn't do it.

Tillie raised an eyebrow and stuck her tongue out at mike."See! Ha! I knew you thought I was useful!"

"I take it back, annoy her as much as you like."

"Gladly."

"Anyway," Interrupted Aaron, "I thought we were going to try and figure out this mini riddle?"

"Oh yes," I said, composing myself. "Let's take this one step at a time. The voice said, 'we have to travel through my world and others to gain what I seek,' any ideas?"

"Well that one's easy." said Tillie, rolling her eyes. "It's so obvious that we have to go through a doorway to a different world."

I opened my mouth to object but she cut me off. "And before you say anything like 'that's not possible' or 'it can't be that simple' we are living proof of what you thought was the impossible like a day ago. And yes, it can be that simple, the hard part comes next."

Well, she got me there. I decide to let her have that one, mostly because she read my mind and you can't really answer back to that.

"Ok then," I muttered. "Next we have to figure out the location. 'A place that is historical and that is visited by hundreds every day who seek nothing but knowledge'. You got anything for that one Tillie?" I muttered the last part and smirked when she hissed back at me, that was fun.No one spoke, no one knew the answer or even had an idea of what it could be so we sat there in silence. Well, the others sat there thinking, I on the other hand started twiddling my thumbs, waiting for someone to speak.

"Look, Ellie, we've been at this for a good I don't know, thirty minutes and I for one can't think on an empty stomach." Said Aaron, "Can we all go and get some food and then come back to this later?"

I sighed, at least they were handling this better than I was."Sure," both Tillie and Aaron jumped to there feet, "but I ate a little while ago so I'm not hungry, I'll stay behind and brainstorm some more."

"Oh please, you came up with nothing." Sneered Tillie. "At the very least the rest of us came up with a theory!"

"Give it a rest Tillie," shouted Mike, "You must have been listening in on someone else's mind then because I came up with nothing so just give it a rest already!"

Ha Tillie, that's a little something I call getting wrecked! Good for you Mike.

I watched with my arms crossed as Tillie struggled to come up with a response, and when her words failed her she stormed out of the room dragging Aaron with her. I'm so glad that happened, up until now I had not seen Tillie act so defeated, it was music to my ears.

"Mike?"

"Hm?"

"That was awesome!" I squealed and rushed over to him. "No offence or anything but I never thought you would actually something like that to her face!"

"Oh, well, I usually answer her back in my mind so its pretty much the same thing but in normal cases you don't have to worry that the person you are talking about will hear you."

"Good point!"

I laughed and my heart fluttered, oh no. I have never, ever, in my life felt my heart flutter. And. I have only known this guy for a day! What is happening? What do I do?I felt a hot sensation rushing up my cheeks so I turned away to stop myself from getting embarrassed.

I coughed awkwardly and looked at the clock on the wall, any second now and the hospital staff would rush through the halls, ready to start their next shifts.

"Hey, um, why don't we go to reception? We might be able to use the computers very quickly to help us with the riddle." I said once my cheeks had returned back to their normal colour.

"Sure, that's probably going to be ore effective than all of us have been."

We walked back through the doors and I decided to take the normal, corridor route to reception, it may take longer but it would eventually benefit me when i knew my way around better.We reached the reception waiting area and I watched Mike walk around the desk to the computer and turn it on. I didn't want to distract him while he searched Google for answers so I turned and flicked through the brochures on the wall.

Ice skating Hmmm, thats sounds fun, I should really do that next the time I'm in my body.Cinema I've been reminding myself to take a look at the new movies coming out this year.Museum oooh a new exhibit.Library they've got some new books in...

Wait.

Go back a second.

A museum. That's it! Wow, I did it! Ha, in your face Tillie.

I grabbed the museum brochure and turned to look at Mike who had already turned of the computer and made his way back round the receptionist's desk.

"I got nothing." He said with a disappointed look on his face.

"Well then," I said, sighing and holding the brochure up so he could see, a smile quickly rose upon his face. "Lucky for you, I did."
