"Okay Biana, I should really get going." Sophie tried for the 30th time. Biana was giving Sophie a tour of her wardrobe. Of course, that wasn't all she had been doing for her 3 hours 8 minutes and some odd seconds, she had gone to see Fitz at work and she had stopped by Grady and Edaline's place to go see them, which had turned into helping them calm Verdi down, and then she had come here.

"No, I think you really should stay for a little longer. After all, it doesn't take that long to light leap" Biana argued, and Sophie sighed. Sometimes she wished there were human cars instead of small crystals so she could have the excuse that her human mother always used to use when she had stopped by Sophie's grandmothers. "Oh, we really should get going. Traffic was pretty bad on the way here." Sophie suddenly wondered how her human parents were doing now. And Amy....

"Hey, earth to Sophie." Biana called, yanking Sophie out of her worries. The thought about her parents had pulled her into a daze. Biana shook Sophie's arm. "I think you should try this one on. It would look good with your eyes, and maybe if we add a little blush and ..." Sophie held her free arm in the air. "Yup, and I'm out!" She stated, and rushed out the door. Biana trailed behind her. "Aww.. don't you think just a little bit of..." Was all Sophie heard before she lifted her home crystal up to the light, and glittered away. 

Once the scene before her glittered into focus, Sophie knew she had to make her feet work. But she didn't. At least ... not yet. She overlooked the house, still finding it hard to believe that it was still hers. And Fitz's. Ugh, she couldn't wait until he got home. She commanded her legs to move, and she made it to the door. She knew this shouldn't feel so hard, she was just walking into her own home. She wondered if she and Fitz had tackled this thing too soon. 

Oh, c'mon Sophie, Dex and Keefe have probably done nothing that bad, just open the door. 

Part of Sophie's mind wanted to obey those words. The other part just wanted to wait a few more minutes out on the porch and... 

Sophie's thoughts got interrupted by the door opening. It was Keefe. And he was ... wide eyed and shaky. His breath coming in fast like he had just run a race. And when he spoke, his voice sounded as though he had just been yelling at something .. no .... someone! But before Sophie could barge in the door, Keefe spoke. "Sophie! Thank goodness you're here! We have a little bit of a situation."
