In the Sparkle Residence, the Sparkle family was sound asleep in their beds, dreaming whatever dreams they had. That is, all except one. Night-Mare was not having such a good dream as she tossed and turned in her bed. Soon, she opened her eyes in a jolt and she panted. It took a moment but she saw that she was in her room. When that registered in her brain she sighed and facepalmed. Ugh! Why did dad have to get that stupid jacket?! She asked in her mind. Ever since she found out she had it, it was all Night-Mare could think about, and the implications it came with. Deciding she was too awake now to go back to bed, Night-Mare decided on a course of action. Might as well investigate Twilight’s lab to see if dad tampered with anything. She thought as she quietly got out of bed, slipped on her slippers, and as quietly as she possibly could, made her way out to Twilight’s lab in the backyard. She punched in the code to open the door, which she noticed wasn’t already open, and entered the lab.
She looked around using her phone’s flashlight to see if anything was out of the ordinary. While she was looking, her phone started buzzing. She looked at the contact, and raised an eyebrow. “Sparkler?” She asked, confused. She tapped the screen to accept the call, and put it on speaker. “Sparkler? Little late for a call don’tcha think?” She asked.
“Sorry Night-Mare, did I wake you?” Sparkler asked.
“No, I was already up. Couldn’t sleep.” Night-Mare said.
“Yeah me neither.” Sparkler responded.
“Because of my dad’s jacket?” Night-Mare asked. She recognized that she wasn’t the only SMILE agent who saw her dad with the jacket tonight.
“Yeah. I’m confident that your dad ISN’T evil, but at the same time, you know full well what a FOWL agent in the Sparkle family means.” Sparkler told Night-Mare.
“Yeah. I’m out in Twilight’s Lab checking for tampering right now…you…haven't said anything to SMILE have you?” She asked.
“Not yet anyway.” Sparkler said.
“Good…wanna keep this between us until we have more concrete evidence?” Night-Mare asked. “As much as I hate to admit it, FOWL did make a cool jacket.” She said. “It really could just be as simple as finding it online.”
“That’s what I’m hoping. For a lot of peoples’ sake.” Sparkler said.
“Me too.” Night-Mare said. “So, we keep this between us until we have something to report…and I’ll keep a sharp eye out for anything suspicious.” She said.
“Sounds good.” Sparkler said.
“I’ll let you know if I find anything. Goodnight Sparkler.” She said.
“Night Night-Mare.” Sparkler said before Night-Mare cut the connection. She went back to searching for tampering. “If FOWL gets their hands on Twilight’s magic data, all heck’s going to break loose globally.” She commented.
