"Maggie, I got two tickets for movie. Wanna go with me?"
"Now?"

"But what about Casely?" Maggie looked at Casely.
"It's okay Maggie. Although I gave some work at home. You go and enjoy."
"Okay then. Bye Casely." Maggie left with Takashi.

Casely was going on her way thinking about all these stuffs. She suddenly stops at a point and looked arround. She mistakenly took the other street which is in the opposite direction to her home. She take steps back and keep walking to the right direction. Somehow, Casely saw a strange place at that street which is not familier to her. She take steps towards that place and saw an old strange watch shop. There was a big clock on the top of that shop which signifies it as a watch shop. Casely entered into the shop.

"You want this?" Casely startled by someone's voice while looking into an watch. An lady of about 60s, was standing behind her. She was old enough to run a shop like this.

Her hairs are mostly became white but some black hairs also can be seen through her white hairs. In one sentence, she is a aged woman.
"Uh...no. I'm just looking through it. It's beautiful." Casely put down the watch. "Come with me.I'll show you something." The lady took her through a dim lighted aisle, lined up by different sizes of pendulam clocks. After a while, Casely saw that a light coming out from a old wooden door. The lady opened the door and a blue light focused into her eyes. She closed her eyes thightly.When she opens her eyes and the light gone, she saw that the room is filled with different wall hanging watches and pocket watches. She feels like she was in the world of watch.
The lady keep walking towards a table in the middle of the room. Casely followed her. They stopped near the table. There's a beautiful wooden box in the table.
