It was another sunny day at the good team camp, it's been a week since the new member Moonlight had joined the team. Been accepted by the leader Nano Hanna, known for her knowledge, plan ideas, and all in all a person with good wisdom. Most children in Surora would come for her if they had problems they didn't know how to handle. Where she would gladly help them. Her only problem would be her cold tone. She's a person with not many words in the beginning, which makes it hard to know if she's approachable or not. In reality, she loves to talk about knowledge from other people and also different stories, about what people have experienced in their lives.

Before Nano joined the good team with Midnight and Scootalight, she used to work as a spell and curse teacher in Surora. Years later she was invited to join the good team. She now works as a strong sorcerer, and even trains others who have magic abilities. These would be her two students Amon and Scootalis. Both have abilities that have to do with magic, and with her training, they would be excellent sorcerers as well.

This day Nano had her free day, so she did what she normally did. She sat in the living room, in the leader's sleep house. Here she normally just relaxed while reading a book on the couch. She really enjoyed the silence sometimes, which wasn't much since others may not see but Nano has two companies at her side at all times, two spirits to be exact. Which she had met while she was still living in Mison with her parents. They both introduced themselves as Cleo the shy but very smart one and Akifa the more energized and clever one. The three became very close friends with each other, and the two spirits had chosen to stay with Nano.

But today the spirits promised to stay low and let Nano get a break, which she appreciated. So here she sat in silence... until...

BAAM! The door flung open and two small figures ran into the room "Nano, Nano you have to help us!" The first voice said "this is important and you are the only one who can help us" said the other. The two figures now right in Nano's face, were her two students, Amon and Scootalis, which looked like they made a terrible mistake. Well here goes my free day... Nano thought while her two students kept begging for her help.

In the end, Nano had enough and just gave in, showing with a deep sigh. She put down her book and had her eyes on her two worried-looking students. "What kind of trouble have you gotten yourselves into this time?" She asked them both like it wasn't the first time they had been in trouble before. In fact, these two troublemakers keep playing pranks with other people, either other members of the team or the townspeople. Now with the new member, Moonlight who joined not long ago, they've been going at her for a couple of days... Poor girl.

Scootalis was the one to speak first "we kinda made a bet with someone" she said while looking down. And I think exactly who you are talking about... "is it perhaps your third partner in crime?" Nano asked and both of them nodded. "Dreamy, Scootalis and I were talking about abilities, and Dreamy said if we could mention all of the member's abilities she'll give us a treat, but..." Amon said and looked down. Well, this didn't surprise Nano, she had known Dreamy since she moved to Surora. She was the playful type that loved making bets with the two younger members.

"And what if you don't make it?" Scootalis looked down playing with her hands and Amon played with the carpet with his feet. "Well, she said if we lose we have to be her slaves in a month, we have to do whatever she says" Scootalis finally answered with a quiet voice. Nano nodded her head, understanding their situation and why they chose to come to her for help.

Nano is a person that also likes keeping information about the members, which also means their ability. She stood up from the couch and signaled them to take a seat. She went up to her room which looked more like a mini-library. But perfect for Nano. She went up to one of the shelves and took four magazine holders out. She then went back downstairs to her two waiting students. She laid down the magazine holders and then looked at them.
