You manage to stay up through the night with your mother, who was watching a Christmas movie marathon with your baby sister. And some crazy influx of coffee. Who says that Winter Vacation doesn't bring gifts besides Christmas? Neither way, hardly relevant. Sarah has forced you into going with some of the school on a high school field trip to L.A. (Which your mom paid for), where you'll be going around Disneyland until the day before Christmas eve. AS you get on the bus at 6 o'clock, you fall asleep until you're nudged by Sarah.
"Hey, get up! We just left Oregon!" |

"Sorry Sarah, I was staying up watching movie marathons." I say, and I straight myself up, and look around. |

Everything looks fine, but you almost jump at the sight of the psyche sitting in an empty spot at the back, it's eyes, if it has eyes through the mask, trained on you.
"We'll reach L.A. in a few hours. Now, did you bring that book with you?" asks Sarah, holding her hand out. |

Man, Psyches are creepy. The Noh masks don't really creep me out, it's just where the Psyches are that creeps me out.
"I was planning on reading it on the trip, but yeah, you can see it." I say, taking it out to give to her. |

"Freddy over there sounds evil. But if Psyches really are like that..." I say.
"Sounds weird. Can we look in the book if there is any more about Psyches?" |

She shakes her head no.
"Sorry, Gav, but this is the only book that even mentions them, and that one page is all there is ever known about them. Well, actually we may be able to get information from Adrian Johnson, except he's a monk... In New Delhi... Which is in India." |

"Sounds like a plan Sarah, grab your bags, we are going to India. Let's have the bus driver give this bus the ability to fly, and let's go!" I say with a smile.
"Ahh well. Too bad he is in India. Anything going on with your friends?" |

"Didn't the ancient Olympics come from Greece? Other wise, Greece really isn't a good place to me." I say.
I looked around again. I wanted to be sure whether or not the Psyche was here. |

(No need for the bumps. I just get a tad bit busy at times. ;D) It's there alright. Staring... Watching... Is it smiling? Well... The mask is.
"My lord, Gave, of all things why'd you turn to sports?" She replies. |

I shudder as I see the Psyche again. I swear, it's not even the mask that's creepy! What the heck is? I sit with my back on the chair all the way.
"The Olympics back then was fascinating. They had wrestling as a sport, and well, frankly, they were naked when they wrestled. That's the only thing that was weird to me, the naked part." I say. |

"The good thing about that, was women didn't participate in the Olympics back then, so they didn't have to get naked." |

| She shrugs, "These were the Ancients. Could you blame them? They barely crawled out of their neanderthal stages." |

"Very well... Hmm, I wonder if I should try to e-mail Adri- No, he's a monk isn't he?"
You go back to sleep, and are waken again by Sarah, who informs you that you are at the hotel where the class will be saying for their trip.
"C'Mon, it's lunch time! We gotta get going on! Lunch has been paid for us, and we are all hungry. Unpack! Unpack! Unpack!"
Before you all leave, the teacher gives you assigned rooms. Your card (She had the rooms delivered by card) says room 8D. |

If I'm near Sarah, ask her what room she got.
If not/after I asked, I go to 8D, hopefully not seeing Psyches, and unpacking everything I need to unpack. (Assuming I didn't already) |

"Oh, what room did I get? Hmm... 8F," replies Sarah.
As you unpack your items, you meet the two people you'll be sharing 8D with, Nathan and Marquis.
"Hey, Gaven was it? Look, can you help me get a really big and heavy box up the elevator into this room?" asks Nathan. |

On the way to the bus, Nathan tell you a bunch of tales, the reliability you doubt, and when you get to the bus, Nathan cursed a lot.
"Where'd it go!?" he yelled. There was nothing there. |
