## Transcript

Cosmo walked into the café and saw a familiar girl waiting.

"Aily, is that you? Never thought I'd see you around here"

Cosmo said, seeing Aily smile.

"Yeah, thought I'd see what's up, since you're back from going to space"

She replied. Cosmo shrugged.

"Yeah. I'm just going to pack up and head out, I have a mission to complete"

Cosmo said, before giving Aily a wave and heading out, her first stop, Texas.

A long, long drive on and off the road, she finally arrived in a small town.

"Hey, looks like you been driving on and off, you need assistance?"

A girl said, waving her down.

"Yeah, I'm in need of a break for a few days"

"Good, name is Tessa. Come on into my father's farm, I'm sure a visitor won't be a problem, specially with the situation we got"

Tessa explained, as the two walked up toward the porch and into the house.

"So, what is your problem exactly?"

Cosmo asked, seeing Tessa tense up, but relax.

"Well, I was a little girl when it happened, I was out with my father. Then, he heard a noise, telling me to stop moving. He pointed his gun at whatever could be moving in the trees. I could have sworn my father's face went pale, he then picked me up and ran so fast, it happened in a split second. We got into the house, locked everything and huddled in the basement. When the sun came up, he brought me up, and we saw nothing out of the ordinary."

Tessa explained, Cosmo hanging onto her every word.

"Well, it is Texas, you have your fair share of creatures"

Cosmo explained.

"But this thing had my father freaked out. He never liked me out past dinner time."

Tessa said, preparing coffee.

"He shot the thing in the leg he told me, I never assumed he did, until the morning came, and I saw blood on the ground"

Tessa added.

"Really, that's crazy"

Cosmo said, shaking her head.

"I know it sounds crazy, but my dad will clarify the entire story, for now, explain why you're all the way out here"

Tessa asked.

"I came from Westport, on a mission to look for a curtain someone"

She explained, seeing Tessa's eyes light up.

"I could help you, if you help us deal with the menace we have ruining our farm"

Tessa said, seeing Cosmo think about it.

"Deal, let's get to work as soon as the sun dips over the horizon"

She said, seeing Tessa struggle with a reply.

"Don't worry, I will protect you, that's a promise"

Tessa raised a brow at her.

"And how exactly are you going to do that?"

She asked, staring at her like she was crazy. Cosmo smiled at herself and lifted her hand, a blue orb appearing, making Tessa nearly jump.

"Crikey, you know magic!"

She shrieked, Cosmo widening her eyes at her before nodding.

"It's a long story, but let me tell you, I as stunned as you are"

Cosmo explained, Tessa's eyes transfixed on the orb before she snapped back to reality.

"Well, sit down and explain yourself, I'm listening"

Tessa said, sitting down with two cups, sliding the second toward her.

"Well, I'll start when we were out in space on our way back home to Earth"

Cosmo began, seeing Tessa's eyes widen again like it were Christmas. In the woods, eyes watched as the two woman talked and conversed.
