Aurelia chuckled, "Boys, go have fun. I'll whip up some snacks for you." Skyler dashed into the study with William.
Two little hamsters, under William's hypnotic command, were sprinting endlessly on their exercise wheel.
With a snap of his fingers, William brought them to a screeching halt. They stood there, dazed, for a long moment before regaining their senses and scurrying back to their nest, completely forgetting the recent turn of events.
"Awesome!" Skyler exclaimed, flashing a big thumbs up. After a pause, he whispered, "William, I've made up my mind. I'm going to put the Reaper's Stamp on Megan and let the Grim Reaper take her away." "Good idea," William nodded, having harbored the same thought for a while, "I heard she goes to Victoria's Tranquil Coffeehouse for her daily afternoon tea. We can confront her there." "Yeah." Skyler slapped a high five with him. If the Grim Reaper took the wicked Megan away, their beloved Aurelia would be safe.
The next day, the pair made their way to Victoria's Tranquil Coffeehouse.
Skyler ordered two afternoon tea sets and they began to eat.
Before long, Megan arrived, her face hidden behind a mask, and took a seat in a secluded booth.

She used to sit by the window, but now, with her face yet to heal, she was forced to hide away.
She loathed Aurelia with a burning passion, dreaming of nothing but her demise.
Skyler and William exchanged a knowing glance, then stood up and approached her booth.
"Lady Megan, fancy seeing you here," Skyler greeted.
"Since you're here, why don't we enjoy some afternoon tea together?" William chimed in.
Without waiting for Megan's response, they sat down beside her.
Megan was angry, and she didn't want to have afternoon tea with these two bastards. She just wanted to be left alone.
"Go back to your own table, and don't disturb me," she snapped.
Skyler pouted, "You used to follow us around all the time, disturbing our fun." William nodded vigorously, "Exactly, every time we went on vacation, and you had to tag along and ruin our good time." Megan was enraged, her hatred for Kane making her angry.
"Did you come here just to bother me?" Skyler puffed up his cheeks, "You're really not nice. I'm going to tell Leopold and Jessica that you're bullying us." Megan was speechless, "I don't have time to waste words with you idiots. Leave now, and don't bother me." Seizing the moment while she talked, Skyler stamped the Reaper's Stamp onto her clothing.
Then, grabbing William's hand, they stood up.
"So unfriendly, and you curse us. You're going to have bad luck." William stuck out his tongue, "Big meanie, I'm going to tell Uncle Leopold you insulted me and Skyler." They returned to their own table, waiting for Superman to swoop in and take Megan away.
But as time passed, Megan showed no signs of distress.
Had the magic failed? "Skyler, why isn't Superman coming to punish the bad Megan?" "Maybe Superman's busy today and can't make it. He might come to punish her tonight." "Alright, we'll wait a bit longer." After finishing her tea, Megan left, and Skyler and William followed suit. They spent the entire day awaiting news of Megan's punishment.

Before bed, William couldn't help but sneak a call to Kane.
"Kane, what's Uncle Leopold up to?" "Dad's in the study, dealing with some work," Kane replied.
"He didn't get any calls?" "Nope, why?" Kane asked, puzzled.
"Never mind, I'm off to bed. We'll talk tomorrow." William hung up, disappointed, and lay down in bed.
The next day, still no word of Megan's punishment had come.
William visited Skyler at his villa, his face etched with dejection.
"Skyler, is the Reaper's Stamp broken?"
