It was growing a bit late by the time Monica got Holly dressed, her shoes tied, and had managed to usher her out of the apartment. The woman kept wandering off, forgetting who Monica was, and frankly she seemed to have completely lost her mind. Once they finally made it out the door, there was still the matter of getting her across town. Monica felt like every time the two of them walked a few feet, Holly would turn around and start walking in another direction—confused and already having forgotten what they were doing.

“Come on, Holly, work with me a little!” Monica exclaimed, feeling as though she too was going to lose her mind by the time they made it to Back Room Books.

“Ooh, a butterfly!” Holly yelped and began chasing a moth around in the grass. The woman wandered out into the road, and Monica had to dart after her and pull her out of the way of a car. Thankfully, the driver saw Holly and was able to swerve and slam on the brakes.

“So sorry!” Monica shouted as the driver made a rather obscene gesture and sped off. “Okay, that’s it!” Monica removed her belt from her jeans and proceeded to wrap it around Holly’s wrist.

“Oh my gosh, that you remember!” Monica groaned and pushed her friend through. There was a flash of light, and soon they were stepping into the shop on the other side. She could hear the books all snoring and snoozing soundly as they walked through the shop. Monica grabbed a witch’s hat Mona had left behind and plopped it on Holly’s head—not wanting her to draw attention—and then the two women exited into the streets of Wysteria.

Monica continued pushing Holly along, but the woman kept trying to wander off. She was distracted by anything that moved. She also started singing at the top of her lungs, “Thunder bolts and lightning very, very frightening!” The song sounded so ridiculous that Monica was certain the woman was making it up, but you could never be sure when it came to mortals and their peculiar musical tastes.

Fearful that the woman was attracting too much attention by those hanging out under the waning moon, Monica decided to head to her sister’s home as it was significantly closer than that of her aunt’s. She arrived at the large cottage just beyond Wysteria’s main strip. Her sister had a taste for the fanatical which was very telling
