 Quote: Late one night, you find yourself in a fairly under populated area of town. You’ve been strangely alone for the past few moments when you see movement out of the corner of your eye. Only a few yards away you see a young woman with tear-stained cheeks and a long white gown. It is difficult to make out any more details; she seems to be running from something. She looks like she is screaming but makes no sound; even her footsteps seem to be silent. If you try to chase her, you will wind up in a dead end—alone, and suddenly, cold. It feels like something has slammed into you and turned your blood to ice, but there’s no one around. No matter what you do, the chill remains until morning—but the image of the woman’s fear-filled face may haunt your dreams for much longer. Michiko didn't know what she was doing she was in a dark lonely part of town by herself, she looked around for someone anyone to go with her, she had been ending up in spooky situations a lot lately. Michi really needed to get home and get under her covers this was really weird how the heck had she ended up in yet another spooky situation on a dark path going who knew where. The park was a swamp. The church had spooky stuff on it. Not even candy was safe!! Michiko took a deep breath trying to gather her wits she would be alright she was alright. She kept repeating that to herself in her head as she stood there nervous and afraid to move forward even though she knew she had to if she wanted to get home sometime. Before she was grounded for life. Michiko thought she saw something white in the distance but she didn't want to go near whatever it was by herself. She really hoped she would find someone to walk with her so she wouldn't be for afraid. Even though she was desperately trying to convince herself that she was brave and could do this on her own.

Bluebell was on her way back to her dorm room after seeing a movie with some of her friends. They all made plans to stay with their parent's for the evening, but she wanted to get back for some studying. Before they knew it the end of the semester would be here and they'd have final exams to worry about before Winter break. She took her schooling seriously, but apparently she wasn't very good with directions in this crazy city. She had lived here all of her life, right? It seemed like she made a habit out of getting lost these days.
For a while now she had been along on the street, but she thought she saw something. Was that a woman running? Could she be in trouble? She gripped her henshin pen in her pocket, maybe she could be of some help. As she followed after her though, she actually ran into someone else at a crossroad.
"Oh! I'm sorry. I thought I saw someone in trouble this way. Did you see anything?" Bluebell pulled her hand out of her pocket, she couldn't risk powering up in front of a stranger and revealing her identity. However, she was still concerned by what she had seen. If someone was in trouble, Bluebell needed to help, even if she couldn't help them as a Senshi.

Michiko was suddenly bumped into as she stood afraid and wondering what she should do next, she steadied herself on her feet and turned to see who had bumped into her. Michiko looked at the figure before her and she shyly said "Umm well I think I saw something, but I'm not sure and I didn't want to go any closer by myself." Michi thought of all Sumi had told her, but she was still fearful and uncertain about stepping forward to try to power up. Trying to figure out who she could power up near, it was all so strange and new to Michi. "Umm do you want to go with me and see if there is someone hurt up ahead?" Michiko asked softly she wanted to see what the white thing was she had seen up ahead on the path, but she was too afraid to go by herself. "I'm Michiko." Michi said softly. There were so many strange things out in the night, Michiko wondered if she would ever sleep well again in this city. She had dreamed of darkness but she had never thought that the darkness was real and waiting to destroy everything she loved

At least that confirmed that Bluebell wasn't crazy, she had seen something as well. The poor girl seemed a little too frightened to go alone, but she did admire her for wanting to help out at least. Destiny City had been fairly scary these past few weeks, she couldn't blame the girl for feeling a little uneasy about what she saw. Bluebell gave the girl a smile and a nod, trying to be reassuring. Even before she had awakened, she wasn't one to easily back down from a challenge.
"Yes, I'd very much like to help if there is someone in trouble." She made her way down the street as Michiko introduced herself. "Oh sorry, my manners are terrible at times. My name's Bluebell." She reached over to give the girl a handshake, but she kept her eyes forward, looking out for the figure she had seen before. She was surprised when it ran into an alley not far from them.
"There!" She pointed the way, in the moment she didn't really catch on to the fact that there wasn't any noise coming from the mysterious figure. All that mattered was that she looked like she was in pain or scared for her life. She broke into a run, thankful that today she had been wearing sensible shoes for a change.

Michiko liked to help others, she didn't know anything when she went to the botanical garden and still, she did her best to bat away the large spiders that attacked the partygoers who were just trying to get out of the dangerous situation. The stupid spiders what ruined Michi's Halloween costume. If she met those darn spiders again Michiko was going to give them a piece of her mind! Michiko shook her head and then said "No no it's alright, it's well I don't know yes nice is a good word since I didn't want to go on this path by myself." She said in a shy tone. Michiko was wearing her fall warm outfit and boots, so she was able to run along with Bluebell after the white figure that seemed to be in trouble. Michiko was confused what was going on?? As they got closer Michiko was able to see more details but not a lot of details on the figure. Were they humans? Were they alive? This seemed the month for spooky things, Michi frowned seeing the tears on their ghostly face. "Umm Bluebell is that a ghost??" Michi asked softly her voice shaking nervously. She wanted to run but she also wished she could help put the spirit to rest.

Bluebell didn't really notice at first, after all she was fairly pale herself. People often joked that she looked like a walking ghost, but once Michiko actually said something about it...well. Ghosts weren't real, were they? Of course, Bluebell had seen some pretty crazy stuff in the last week. She knew about youma now, what it this was one of them? Either way she did stop until she turned the corner and went into the alley.
"There's nothing here..." It was literally a dead end alley, and no sign of whoever they had just watched run inside. A chill ran up her spin and she crossed her arms in front of her as the temperature seemed to drop outside. "I don't believe in ghosts..." Seriously, even after all that had happened the idea of ghosts really seemed ridiculous. The words were no longer out of her mouth when she felt this strong pressure all around her, like someone was trying to push her down.
"D-did you feel that?" There wasn't anyone else here aside from Michiko, it probably wasn't a good idea for them to stay here alone. At the very least they were two young girls in a weird back alley alone and at worst there really was some sort of creepy ghost after them now.

Michiko followed after Bluebell as fast as she could they ended up at a dead end which was rather ironic considering that was what it felt like the end that somehow killed the ghost that they had seen. The ghost that Bluebell didn't believe in, but Michiko believed in the spooky stuff, after all a little had talked to her and a gargoyle had moved why not a ghost? Michiko felt the chill fill her body and she shivered harshly. She tried to pull her jacket closer to her but nothing chased the chill away. She frowned. Michiko nodded as she rubbed her freezing cold arms. "It's times like these I wished I had the courage to ask someone out so I could invite them over to cuddle... I'm so cold.. " Michiko looked around the shadows and felt the freezing cold in her body, "I think we should go home and drink coco or something." Michiko suggested she wondered where Bluebell lived. Michiko lived in a pretty nice area with her parents. Michiko jumped up and down but nothing she tired was helping her warm up, she really should have learned by now she should hide under her bed till November.

Alright, Bluebell was officially freaked out and ready to get the heck out of here. She didn't want to believe in ghosts, but there was no doubt that something disturbing was happening here. She turned back around the corner and out of the alleyway when Michiko said something rather funny, she actually laughed a bit, watching her breath fog up in front of her.
"Haha, I've never really thought about it like that before, but I suppose someone could come in handy like that." The air was so chilly and she was still a bit shaken from the pressure she had felt when cornered in the alley. Surely October would come to an end soon and their lives could get back on track. "If you want, I can walk you home and we can keep each other warm along the way." Bluebell wrapped one of her arms around the girl and pointed down each street, "Which way are we heading?" She didn't want to leave Michiko out here alone, the least she could do was make sure she made it home safe. Maybe instead of going back to her dorm she'd go stay with her parents for the night as well. She'd probably feel a little bit more at ease in her old bedroom rather than her plain dorm at Crystal Academy.

Michiko really need some warmth and maybe a little comfort, Michiko was a little freaked out, then again this was pretty normal after everything that had happened to her lately. "Umm if you want to but you don't have to I'll be ok.." She said softly she was glad she had made Bluebell laugh even though she hadn't really meant to it was nice to break the getting to know you ice, if not the ice in her blood. Michiko pointed in the direction her house was in. It really wasn't all that far away but she would have a little bit of a walk. She just hoped she wouldn't turn into a popsicle before she got home and could put some pjs on and could make some hot chocolate. "What about you how far are you from home?" Michiko asked trying to keep her teeth from chattering from the chill in her blood.

"I'd like to, it's a little spooky out here for us to split ways." Once they got out of this scary part of town she'd feel more comfortable getting the rest of the way to her house on her own. Michiko's house was in the right direction at least, so she wouldn't be doing any sort of back tracking. She didn't want to see anymore creepy alleys for the rest of her life, she'd really had enough of them lately. She kept her arm around the other girl as they walked down the sidewalk, though she kept looking behind them, still a bit freaked out by what they had seen. She was just making sure nothing was following them.
"Oh, I live in the dorms at Crystal Academy. But I think I'm gonna stay at my parents' place tonight....After that. Don't worry, we're heading the right way!" Had she been on her own when creepy lady appeared, she probably would have powered up and used the rooftops to get home a little quicker, but she'd make sure Michiko made it home safely first.
