"That's not a bad reason, but you know, if you shut yourself up in books all the time nothing interesting will ever happen. You can't really expect something interesting to just happen. You've got to go find it yourself, but that's a little hard to do if you sit around shut up in a book all the time. I mean, wouldn't you rather create your own world rather than loosing yourself in someone else's?" Rin pointed out kindly and Elisane hesitated. He had brought up a very good and valid point, one that Elisane hadn't ever really considered before.

Now don't be mistaken, Elisane had created her own world before. In fact, she had many. Some were underwater, some were in space, some were in the earth. A couple were in diferent times and more were set in a place she like to refer to as Fantsie, and entirely other planet where it was created entirely out of the dweller's imaginations. She liked to write her own books and tell her own stories (none of which were ever published of course) because an entire different world was so much easier to find and enjoy when it was purely one's imagination. But Rin seemed to mean something entirely different.

He meant that she should search for the uniqueness and adventure in reality, not literature. And maybe Rin had a point. Elisane did have a habit of speanding so much time in a book she began anti-social, like a hermit, hiding away in her room at home instead of going to one of her friend's houses or the pool of on a shopping trip with her Mother. But could one really make Fantsie into reality? Was there really anything special about normality?

Elisa didn't know, but it would be an adventure off the page if she were to find out. And it would begin right here. "Maybe you're right Rin. I guess I should try to see the spirit of adventure in reality. And to do that, I have to look into the simplest things." Elisane said with a determind and curt nod, then suddenly she looked at Rin. "Did I tell you about last night? I had the weirdest kind of dream. Well, actually I don't remember much of it but when I woke up my window was closed. And before you laugh at me, I know I had it open before I went to sleep."

Sounding like a detective, Eli went on quickly. "My door was locked so someone couldn't have come in to my room and close it and the window was too high for someone outside to close it and I would have woken up it it had fallen shut because it would have made a loud banging noise." Elisane laughed a little, taking a breath from her long winded explaination, "Weird huh? And I slept on my neck wrong to, so it's been sore since I woke up." Eli laughed again, already having fun in her search for adventure. "So now I'm looking for a clue to solve my window mystery as well at a better pillow."
