Camilla was nursing her tea as she let out a yawn at the breakfast table the next morning. Tensions were still high from the hearing the day before and everything was still a little awkward with everyone.

"Hey," Fabian spoke up causing Camilla to glance at her brother to see his concerned look for Nina who was playing with her cereal over eating it, "you okay?" he asked.

Nina looked up at him and saw Camilla was listening in too, both of them looking worried. She had gotten in late the night before after seeing her gran and really wasn't up for talking when she did get in which had the female twin worried. "yeah," Nina reassured them both with a smile, "just thinking about gran and something weird that happened last night."

The twin's eyes both widened as she said this but before either of them could say anything Alfie came into the room with a camera, talking into it, "It's the morning of the ping pong tournament!" he announced to the camera, "and the entire school is holding its breath..." With that Alfie glanced to Amber before rushing to her side, "Woah, Amber... waffle before a big match?" he asked her, "Is that really a good idea."

Amber let out a sigh before looking to Alfie, "A. you're not my coach anymore. B. they are low carb waffles and C. there's something on your lens."

Alfie glanced at the camera looking it overseeing nothing there, "no there isn't." He retorted just as Amber picked up some scrambled eggs from Camilla's plate and stuffed the eggs onto his lens causing them all to laugh at her handy work. "its all getting tense in here," Alfie spoke to the camera after cleaning the lens, "waffley tense." This joke caused him to let out a small laugh, which was good as he was the only one too actually laugh though Camilla couldn't help but shake her head in amusement. "get it, Nina!" Alfie laughed at her, "Waffley tense!"

"Ow!" Nina winced at the boy as the camera hit her in the arm. "Alfie!" she laughed fondly at him before pushing the camera away from her face, "you're just a big kid." She joked, before looking back to her friends. Missing Alfie's hand go to his mark on his thigh wincing in pain before his thumb went to his mouth as he sat himself down at his seat at the table.

"You know what I like about Mondays," Fabian couldn't help but turn to his sister with an amused look at the random statement of hers on a Thursday morning. "Everyone hates on them, and they still manage to do their thing. It's very inspiring." She told him with a knowledgeable nod of her head, as she placed down a pile of chairs for the pair to set up at their end of the hall. Camilla budding up with a guy called Ian from Horus House to help set up the other side of the room, which was all done so the extra chairs could be set up on the other side of the hall.

"You have spent too much time with Alfie, Cam." Fabian laughed along with Joy at his sister.

"Did someone have fortune cookies for breakfast again?" Joy asked with a teasing smile causing Camilla to stick her tongue out at her jokingly. "So Fabes," Joy spoke up as Camilla moved away to help set up the scoring board, "you chose the movie last time, I choose this time."

"this time?" Fabian's voice cracked a little as he glanced to his sister for help who he knew was listening into the conversation. He hadn't agreed to go on another movie date with Joy. Though Camilla was little to no help as she just pulled a face at him as he looked her way, he got himself into this mess he could get himself out of it.

Joy missed Fabian's panicked look towards Camilla and kept talking, "yeah, and I know the rules. Salted popcorn, no straw sharing and don't talk over anything old or Egyptian." Fabian couldn't help but smile as Joy listed off the 'rules' as he couldn't help but agree with them those were his rules. "we had fun, didn't we?" Joy asked him as she straightens out the chairs she had just set out. "I can even get Patricia to chaperone if you're that worried." She added with a tease causing Camilla to let out a laugh across the room and Joy couldn't help but grin in the female twin's direction.
