“Come in” Kristen called out from inside the guest room, she had just finished with her shower and had a towel draped around her

“Sleep well?” Ashley asked whilst stepping in

“Yes, thank you so much” Kristen smiled

“No prob, Anna said to give you these clothes, unless you’d rather stay in a towel the whole day” Ashley smiled warmly as she placed a cute yellow dress on the bed with matching shoes and a few accessories

“It is pretty nice” Kristen laughed, “But thank you”

“Breakfast in 10” Ashley said whilst leaving

Kristen then looked at her clothes and smiled

“Morning everyone” Kristen greeted whilst joining for breakfast

“Hey” Zac smiled

“That’s a great color on you” Annabelle smiled, pleased in her choice

Kristen beamed

“Guys, I have an idea for the Titan story” Zac said to Phillip and Henry

Henry didn’t waste any time, he took his plate and got up, “I'm done, you can take my place” he nodded to Kristen

“H, come on” Zac called out

Ashley then brought a plate and cup for Kristen and she joined the rest of them to eat

When she was done, Zac got up, “Ready to go?”

Kristen nodded and they left in silence

Colton walked into Aster’s dorm room, “Hey” he greeted whilst navigating through sheets paper and other junk. “Did you get any sleep last night?”

“Nope” Aster shrugged

“How’s it coming?”

“It’s harder than I thought” Aster frowned

“Get some rest, try again with a fresh mind, I'm sure that’s all you need!”

“Good idea” Aster said whilst jumping on his bed, within seconds he was out cold and Colton laughed whilst stepping outside

He dialed a number, “Hey man, I need a favor…Where are you, I’ll come give you all of the details

*******

“What was that about?” Annabelle asked

“Colton wants to meet” Harry said

“Oh, anyway, thanks for the lift- I don’t know what’s going on with H and Zac…” Annabelle said

“No problemo” Harry smiled

“Hey” Colton said whilst joining

“What’s up?” Harry asked

“Morning” Annabelle smiled

“So what did you need?” Harry asked

“Walk and talk, you coming Anna?” Colton asked

“No, but I’ll see you guys later”

Colton nodded and Annabelle left

“Aster’s experiment isn’t coming right” Colton said whilst walking

“What experiment?”

“Teleportation machine”

“Oh, right” Harry smiled to himself
