Smiling broadly (the pathetic-ness didn't seem to want to go away), Annie just nodded, sort of at a loss for what to say. HOW does one respond to something like that? "Er, thanks Seb. I really really appreciate that," she felt lightheaded as she spoke and her cheeks burned furiously as the blush coloured her face, probably visible through the make up now.

"I don't think I made it as clear before - but you look amazing too, really handsome," she added after a slight pause in which she had racked her brain for something else to add to this INCREDIBLY awkward conversation. She had tried to make the 'handsome' comment seem like a joke, as if she were teasing him, but to her dismay it had come out a lot more serious and genuine than she would have liked.



Annie nodded, feeling the light-headedness increase just by the THOUGHT of all their favourite characters arriving. It would be the BEST CHRISTMAS EVEEEEER!! The enthusiasm was obvious in the seventh year's eyes so no words were necessary.


Leaving lunch, Lyra bounced happily towards her room where she knew the alethiometer would be waiting for her. She had taken on the habit of practicing reading it every single day without fail, as a way to quicken the process of fully understanding it. She still had moments of sadness when she remembered her effortless ability to read the device, yet she had matured now and took it all in proportions.

Ahhh, finally! Giggling, she and Pan stepped out of the direct sunlight and into the dormitories block when she felt a slight tug at the back of her neck. Eyes widening in alarm, she tried to blink away the usually darkness that came whenever she stepped into the building but it wouldn't go away.

OH NOES! SHE WAS BLI- waaaaaaait a minute. "Pan, what is this?" she whispered to her dæmon as she felt him walk away from her and heard the sound of ruffled leaves. LEAVES?! There were no leaves back in Oxford! "Lyra - we're not home anymore," he whispered back to her, then pointed with his snout at a castle she hadn't noticed before.

Eyes widening, she allowed herself a few seconds to gather her thoughts before she strode out of the leafy place - oh, it was a forest - and began the long upwards hike towards the lit castle.

Bloody hell, it was FREEZING!

Anakin suddenly felt an urge to look in one of the nearby forests of trees. "Obi-Wan, I'm going to look over here for more droids!" he yelled over the noise. He ran to the trees and kept running. Suddenly he came to a clearing and stopped right before he fell off the edge of a cliff. He squinted and saw some type of fortress in the distance. Was this a vision? Or was it reality? Maybe more droids were being stock in there. He turned, wondering if Obi-Wan would seriously approve of this. Hmm...maybe.

He decided to trail down to the fortress. This suddenly made no sense to him. As he walked snow soon was blowing and night was brought upon him. Anakin got to the front doors of the fortress and opened them, his light saber out. To his surprise nothing attacked him. He continued to walk then he heard....Music? Coming from one of the open set of doors. His light saber was still out. Another surprise. Everyone in the room was human. He closed his light saber and stood there.

OOC: I hope that made sense to everyone. I couldn't exactly think of how he got there so I made that up.

As he finished, and had give the others his excuse for leaving, the seventeen year old felt a huge grin slow spread across her face until it took up ALL of her features. She was practically radiating light.

1... 2... 3... 4... 5... Would it seem to desperate if she went there in two minutes instead of ten?

"Lyra look! There's the entrance!" Pan tugged her shirt and pointed at the big open doors from where light was spilling out. Nodding, she made for the source of light, set on finding out in which world she had landed in this time - for this did not seem like any of the other worlds since something felt different in the air... Something almost like anbaric energy - or how Will had called it; electricity.

Walking into the castle, she gasped at the beauty that she saw. It was all candle lit (so no anabric apparels here) and everything felt alive... She smiled slightly and felt Pan appreciate the sight too when she heard noises coming from ahead. Instantly zapping back into cautious awareness, she silently walked onwards, noting the stairs heading upwards, until she finally caught sight of people. And heard the music.

What was going on? Where was she? WHO were all of these nicely dressed folk? They seemed to be about her age...



Looks like someone else wasn't feeling quite at home either, Lyra noted as she glanced at the guy who was holding some sort of light sword thing... Eh? It just disappeared. Shrugging since she really didn't care for other confused strangers at all, she set her mind on just watching the going on for a while until someone noticed her and decided to explain the situation.

2 minutes 23... 2 minutes 24... 2 minutes 2- Annie's brain suddenly shut down as from far off, she detected a sound she was EXTREMELY familiar with. Utterly confused, she looked quizzically at her friends before glancing around at the room in general, her eyes lingering on the exit for a second longer since she knew Seb was there.

But WHO had just either produced or shut a lightsabre? She wasn't going crazy - she HAD heard one. She HA-

"Merlin..." she whispered faintly as she continued to gaze up at the one person she had NEVER EVER expected to see in real life. There was a younger girl standing beside him, but she wasn't from Star Wars at all... "ROSE LOOK!" she practically bellowed and with that, her vision blacked and she lost consciousness.
