"It has been a long two months" Everyone nods and I smile at them all "I am so proud of you all and what you have done! I picked well on my subs!"

"Helps when we have a good mistress" Sara smiles and leans onto Ava's shoulder "So what is up today?"

"We are having KARAoke night!" Everyone groans and I pout "Why is that the reaction?"

"First there was a pun and secondly we do not like singing like you do" I look to see everyone nodding "I mean come on! You have sang so much in the past few months! Just give music a break Kara!"

"Alright" I hide my disappointment and go to find the board games "I will be back with games"

-Alex pov-
"Guys come on" They look at me confused "She used music to grow attached to the earth culture"

"God she would spin we didn't start the fire so much" Mom smiles happily "I remember when she first found it"

-15 years ago-Eliza pov-
"Hey there are more records!" I look and smile as Kara speeds through them "What is this one? It talks about not starting a fire...is that good?"

"It has all the history you will ever need to know" I walk over and put the record on "Listen to it and you may just learn something!"

Kara nods and grabs a paper that fell. I shrug and walk to the kitchen. I am cooking as the music comes on finally. I stop when I heard who is singing.
