"Oh no, no no no," Raven says with a nervous chuckle and hands up. "It's much too personal, and depressing, and dark. We only just met, so I don't think you'd really be into that stuff."

"Aww," the Robertas pout.

"Well, I understand," Rivers says. "Writing poetry is a very soul-baring passion."

"Thank you for understanding," Raven says.

"I understand, too!" Rhodes says. "Though, I suppose this doesn't have to be a competition..."

"Thank you for understanding, too," Raven says. "Y'know, Rorek has written some poetry in his spare time."

"Really? What was it like? Or was it too personal?"

"Well, the one poem he read on poetry night was mostly about--"

"Wait, poetry night?" Rhodes asks. "Like at a cafe or something?"

"Yeah, actually."

"He read it out loud and in public?" Rivers says.

"Yeah, he was really brave," Raven says. "I was proud of him."

"Oh sorry for interrupting," Rivers says. "What was it about?"

"Umm... It was actually about how he's not happy with this whole system of the Null Family and everyone else's families, and everyone else wants to dictate his love life. And before you say anything, he and I talked about whether I was just his escape, and I'm not. And I know he's being honest because I'm an Empath so I can tell."

"Oh that's such a useful ability," Rhodes says. "I wish I had that."

"It's pretty clear even without such Empathic abilities, though," Rivers says. "And I'm really happy that he has found someone."

"Thank you," Raven smiles.

"Alright, ladies," Nadine Wilmarth says as she comes by. "Wrap it up. Lights out in 10 minutes."

The girls loitering out in the halls all pout and whine, but obey and go into their rooms.

"We should probably go then," Rivers says. "See you in the morning."

"G'night," Rhodes says as she and Rivers get up.

"Good night," Raven says.

The Robertas exit and Raven closes her door. She climbs into bed and turns off the light, drifting off to sleep picturing Rorek's eyes.



"Rise and shine, ladies," Nadine says.

Raven grumbles as she opens her eyes. She looks and finds the clock on her end table. It's 6AM sharp.

"Why this early...?" she groans as she gets out of bed.

Raven walks out into the hall, rubbing one eye, and she spots a line forming at the bathroom down the way.

"That's why..." she says. "Um, Mrs. Wilmarth, is there not another guest bathroom?"

"Oh, don't worry, dear," she says. "We can use Multiplication Magic to increase the number of shower stalls."

"Umm... What?"

"Well it's the only way to get through everyone's bath times so that everyone can be on time for breakfast."

"And it keeps them all from fighting," Penelope adds as she walks over with folded towels. "Well, too much, anyway."

Renee huffs while Roxanne puffs.

"So, I guess things go in waves?" Raven asks.

"Yes, we can't possibly fit 15 stalls in there," Nadine says with a bit of a laugh. "At most, we'll be able to divide things up by five. You ladies can sort out the groups while Penelope and I multiply the stall."

Nadine and Penelope walk inside the bathroom while Raven and the others divide up. Raven stands with the Robertas, Ruby and to Raven's surprise, Rumiko.

A) They're the first wave
B) They're the second wave
