Phoebe took Rene to her apartment. Of course while Phoebe took her home, Rene clung to her as much as possible. Phoebe tried to pry her off without hurting her severely. They went into Rene’s apartment; the red head sitting on the couch, looking at what she though was her mother.

    “Okay R- Cosette, please stay here."

    “But, I want to go out, and see people.”

    “No! I mean, it’s too late Cosette. Maybe another time…”

    “Okay…” Rene said, looking down at the floor. Phoebe laid her down on the couch, covered her in a blanket and crept out of the apartment when she saw Rene fall asleep. Phoebe closed the door quietly and walked to the nearest zeta tube.


    Ashton, Twan, Rocky, Emily, Zach, and Blade were still all at the cave.

    “How did I get chosen to be her “boyfriend”?” Ashton asked.

    “The new kid wasn’t here and Twan’s with Rocky,” Blade explained.

    “Good job Capitan obvious,” Twan said.

    “Thank you,” Blade said. Zach sat on the kitanda quietly. Emily just left through the zeta, trying not to be noticed. Twan pulled Rocky close to him, kissing the juu of her head. Blade made a puking noise. Rocky smiled a little, sticking her tongue out at Blade. Phoebe walked into the cave.

    “Well, Rene fell asleep on her couch. We have to stay in character at all times around her.”

    “Or wewe could just tell her where she is,” Zach said, head in his hand.

    “She’ll just freak out,” Twan said.

    “And it could get ugly if she did,” Rocky explained.

    “You guys are an annoying couple,” Blade said.

    “Thank you,” The blonde boy said, smiling.

    “Well,” Zach said, “If wewe guys are just going to nothing, I’ll go set her straight,” he alisema as her went back into her phone. Rocky sighed and leaned into Twan, staying close to him.

    “Well then,” Blade alisema as she took another cupcake from her bag,” I’m just gonna leave this cupcake here as I walk out of the room…” She set it on the meza, jedwali and walked out of the room, slowly. Blade immediately came back in, and the cupcake was gone. She glared at Twan.

    “Wasn’t me,” Twan said, pointing at Ashton, his face covered in frosting and sprinkles.

    “YOU ATE MY FUCKING CUPCAKE!” She yelled as she tackled Ashton. She pinned him to the ground, he flipped her over. Blade threw punches and kicked him, but he blocked her. Phoebe pulled them apart.

    “Not the time Blade. We need to get there before Zach does.” Blade ran out first, then Phoebe and Zach. Ashton scrambled to get up, but Rocky ‘accidentally’ made him trip, making him go out last after Twan.

    Zach came out of Rene’s laptop that sat on her dawati and walking into her main room, seeing her lay on the couch. Before he could go wake her, Blade rushed in the door and tackled him.

    “Zach,” she whispered, “we can’t do it! We have to stay in character!” Phoebe came in as looked at them on the floor. Twan, Rocky, and Ashton came in as well, all of them staying quiet.

    “Fine,” Zach said. Blade got off him and stood up. The room was silent, until Rene started to sing in her sleep softly.

    “There is a ngome on a cloud/ I like to go there in my sleep/ Aren’t any floors for me to sweep/ Not in my ngome on a cloud/ There is a lady all in white/ Holds me and sings a lullaby/ She’s nice to see and she’s soft to touch/ She says ‘Cosette, I upendo wewe very much’/ I know a place where no one’s lost/ I know a place where no one cries/ Crying at all is not allowed/ Not in my ngome on a cloud…” They all looked at her, quiet. Rocky looked like she was about to cry, Twan held her close. Phoebe stood there, emotionless, same with Zach, Ashton, and Blade. Zach went over, kissed the red heads forehead and walked out of her apartment, hands in pockets.
