Olivia/Diana POV

Olivia woke to the sound of moans, groans, and giggles coming from downstairs. She turned over, and saw that Kevin was still asleep. She silently stood up from the bed, stretched, and walked down the stairs quietly. She froze on the 8th step, wondering if they were doing something she should not intrude on.

Well, it's my house. Olivia thought. She shrugged, and kept walking downstairs. She saw Caine and Diana looking through the fridge, taking out food and shoving their faces with it. Olivia giggled, and Caine turned around, palms out.

"Caine. It's Olivia. Chill." Diana said through large bites of food. She swallowed the turkey breast sandwich she was eating, and wiped her mouth and turned to Olivia. "Hey Liv." Diana said with a small wave in her direction.

"Uh, hey. You know, if you want breakfast, you could just ask." Olivia responded, walking towards the pantry. She saw the butter grits box, and set it on the counter. Diana stared at it like it was the first time she had ever seen grits.

"What? You ever had grits before?" Olivia asked.

Diana nodded, but then shrugged. "At the academy we used to go to." Diana said, motioning to Caine. He nodded, and took over.

"They used to have grits like chunks. Dry. Nasty." Diana stuck out her tongue to approve what Caine said. Olivia looked back and forth between them, and laughed. She laughed so hard, she fell to the ground. When she stopped, she looked up to see a slightly angry Caine, and a confused Diana.

"I just think it's funny because you know, grits are supposed to be creamy, you know?" Olivia tried. Neither of them laughed. Caine's expression turned just like Diana's; confused. "You know, smooth? Edible?" Their expressions stayed. "Ah, forget it. Who wants cereal?"

~X~

Diana had not seen Captain Crunch in ages. Ages. It was her favorite cereal in the world, and in her opinion, the best cereal in the world. She had managed to wolf down 3 bowls, and a raisin bagel. Diana went into the drawer of clothes Olivia had provided for her, and took out her Coates uniform. It smelled AWFUL! Diana couldn't believe she had been wearing that thing for…for… how long had the FAYZ been going on? 7 months? Yes. Diana Ladris, beauty queen, had been wearing the same outfit for 7 months. She started to cry at the thought of how she must have looked.

Diana walked to the shower, and filled the tub with water. She layed her uniform in the water, and it instantly turned black with filth. Diana wiped her eyes, and used a little soap on the uniform. After 20 minutes of scrubbing, the uniform looked clean again. But there were still rips, tatters, holes, and everything on it. She sighed, and jumped at the sound of someone behind her.

"I can fix the rips." Olivia said, walking beside Diana. Diana's eyes flashed with hope for a second, and then she looked down.

"No, it's fine. You're already giving me a house. And food. Why should you have to fix stupid useless crap like this?" Diana said, pointing to the uniform. Olivia ignored her, and put her hands on the rips. They were gone instantly, and the uniform looked real again. Diana gasped silently, and turned to Olivia, one hand on her hip.

"Your boyfriend?" Diana asked.

"What?" Olivia questioned, standing up and looking at Diana with a confused expression.

"That Kelvin guy. Your boyfriend?"

"Oh, you mean Kevin?"

"Yea. Him."

"Oh, well, yea, I guess, kind of, you know, we like each other." Olivia stammered, blushing.

"He's your boyfriend." Diana said, no question in her voice.

"Yea." Olivia admitted, looking at the ground and smiling.

"How long you known him?" Diana asked, her round of questions starting back up.

"Before this…this parents mess. We were always kind of crushing on each other. He lived across the street, so when this mess happened, we stuck by each other." Olivia said, remembering the day she ran over to Kevin's door. They had held hands out of fear, and had been together ever since.

"Cute. How old is he?" Diana asked.

"What?" Olivia asked, snapping back into the present. "Oh. He's 14. His birthday is in two days." Olivia answered. Diana gasped, and looked at Olivia with wide eyes.

"He's turning 15 tomorrow?" Diana asked in a panicked voice.

"Uhh, didn't I just say that?" Olivia said. "What's the big problem?"

"The big problem is that everyone 15 and over disappears. You didn't notice that everyone older than 15 disappered?" Diana asked impatiently. Olivia's silver eyes widened until they looked like bottle caps.

"He can't leave me. I can't live without him. I'll, I'll die if he leaves." Olivia said quickly, her eyes filling with tears. Diana looked at her, and managed a small smile.

"Look. How about I make you…a deal." Diana said, folding her hands together. Olivia looked up at her, her silver eyes glistening with tears. Diana felt a flash of jealousy, but ignored it.

"A deal?" Olivia asked, voice quavering.

"Yea. Since you allowed Caine and I into your house, fed us, and provided hospitality, then I will tell you how to survive the big disappearance. Or poof, as I call it." Diana said, eyes closed off from any emotion. Olivia's eyes went somehow even wider with excitement, and she grabbed the sides of Diana's arms.

"Calm down. Jeez. Anyway, all he's got to do is say no to his parent." Diana explained, looking at her extremely chipped nails.

"What? All the parents are gone. What are you talking about?" Olivia pressed, releasing Diana but staying close to her.

"When you poof," Diana began. "You see one of your parents. It might be your mom, your dad, whoever. They greet you. They say things like 'Come to me, baby!'. They want you to follow them. But don't. If you say, 'Hell no bitch, I'm not goin nowhere!' then you come back here. If you embrace them…" Diana said, making a line with her index finger in the middle of her throat. "You leave this place and never come back."

"Where do you go?" Olivia asked, extremely interested.

"No one knows." Diana answered, face slightly frustrated she didn't know the answer. "No one has ever came back after they embraced their parents. Have you seen the wall, Liv?" Diana asked, looking up from her nails.

"Yea, I have. I tried to restore the flat grass that was there, so I could see what was behind it, but it didn't work. And I accidently brushed my shoulder against it." Olivia said, pushing her sleeve up to reveal a burn the size of a rubix cube.

"Ouch. Yea, I've touched it." Diana said. "You guys serious?"

"What?" Olivia asked, ready for another round of questions.

"You and Kelvin. Serious?" Diana asked. Olivia thought she was talking about the big step, and she flushed deeply.

"Why would you think that? I mean, no I'm still a virgin. I've never had sex okay? Never. Had. Sex. Okay? Me and Kevin, we're virgins. Extremely, oh no, I've not done it, ever before. No no no. No sex for me!" Olivia bubbled. Diana chuckled at the girl, so young, so naive.

"I wasn't talking about sex, Liv. I'm just saying, do you think you're in love with him?" Diana asked, still slightly laughing.

"Oh. Whoops. Yea, I think Kevin is the one." Olivia said, her flush deepening even more. Olivia decided to take the embarrassment off of herself. "What about you and Caine? Serious?" Olivia asked, eying Diana.

"Hm. We're not sure." Diana thought, remembering her words to Caine. They were in love. No denying it, no trying to hide it, it was true. Hopeless romantic, isn't that what it's called? Soul mates. Whatever. They were two pieces to a puzzle. "No, we are sure. I think it's real." Diana said absentmindedly.

"Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww." Olivia said, smiling. Diana rolled her eyes, and started to brush her fingers through her brittle, dry hair. Olivia noticed, and got an idea.

"Come with me." Olivia said, tugging on Diana's sleeve.

"What?" Diana said harshly, not intending the venom in her voice.

"C'mon. Hurry up." Olivia said, ignoring it.

"Where are we going?" Diana asked as Olivia pulled her down the hallway, and into the second bathroom.

"I'm going to do your hair."

~X~

Anyone else. Diana thought. Anyone else, I would not have let do this. But Olivia was giving them a place to stay, food to eat, and comfort. And Diana was beyond grateful. Her and Caine were literally counting their days to death before they found Olivia and Kelvin.

Olivia's mom, for some weird reasons, had gallons and gallons of rainwater. Olivia said she had told her that it was the best for washing your hair. Diana had found this to be true. She had never felt her hair so soft before. Olivia treated her like a customer at a salon store, apron and all. Diana had to sit in a swirly office chair for 2 hours while Olivia worked the hair crimper through it. In the end, Diana's hair was soft like a cloud, and beautifully done. Olivia worked the crimper through the last section of Diana's hair, and dramatically collapsed on the floor, in exhaustion. Diana chuckled, and unplugged the crimper.

"It looks great Liv. Thanks. A lot. For everything. " Diana said, smiling and helping Olivia up. Olivia smiled big, happy with her work.

"You like it?" She asked, eyes excited.

"Didn't I just say that?" Diana mocked Olivia's famous line. Olivia laughed, and they walked to the stairs together. At the top of the stairs, Olivia froze, and blocked Diana from going down the stairs.

"Hey, what's up?" Diana asked, slightly frustrated. She had almost fallen down the stairs because of Olivia.

"You're going to wow Caine. Wow him until his eyes pop out of his sockets. Okay? Turn around, and go into the room at the end of the hallway. Hurry!" Olivia said, turning Diana around and pushing her. Diana flicked the light switch on in the room, and saw it was a closet. The biggest closet in the world. It was filled with dresses, and heels underneath all the dresses.

"Oh no." Diana balked. Olivia held her ground though, blocking Diana's exit. "I don't wear dresses." Diana confessed.

"Well, that's going to change. Tonight. Find a dress. If it's the first thing you find, then I'm going to pick it out. So, search. And get matching heels with the dress." Olivia asked, defiant. Her and Diana shared that. Diana groaned, but grabbed the second dress she found. It was black, with ugly red roses all over it. The heels she picked were even more horrendous. Olivia shook her head.

"Oh no. We're not wearing rags. I pick now. Mwahaha." Olivia laughed, looking through the closet. She came out of a mass of dresses, hair messed up like she had been in a tangle. She held up a dress that was strapless, and it was white. It had a soft, glittering pink vail covering the whole thing. Diana marveled in it's beauty. It almost made the pink veil look like pink snow. Diana looked at the white ankle wrap ballet shoes Olivia had picked to go with the dress, and Diana raised one brow in appreciation. The dress would come to about 6 inches above Diana's knees, and it was beautiful. Olivia squealed, and just for the fun of it, Diana squealed too. They ran off to the bathroom, and Diana tried the dress on.

"I look weird. My boobs look weird." Diana complained from the other section of the bathroom. Olivia rolled her eyes.

"I don't care if one boob is invisible, you're wearing the dress. Come out, let me see it." Olivia said.

"No." Diana said from behind the door.

"Yes. I have the key to that door, if nessasary." Olivia reminded her, with a soft smile.

"UGH." Diana said, and swung the door open. Diana looked breathtaking. Olivia gasped, taking in the beauty of the dress, and then the double beauty of Diana and the dress.

"Perfect!" Olivia crooned. She took Diana, and put her in a chair. Diana sighed, knowing Olivia was about to do something else for Diana's apperance.

"It's makeup. Chill." Olivia said in a pleading voice. Diana nodded, giving in, and Olivia made her look even more breathtaking.

"You're way prettier than me." Olivia said in an envious tone. "I'm jealous."

"Me?" Diana asked, voice shrill. "Have you taken a look in the mirror lately? Because, even models would have died to look like you." Diana stated.

"Ha. But we don't have models anymore." Olivia pointed out.

"Good. So you have no competition." Diana said.

"How about we're equally beautiful?" Olivia suggested.

"Deal." Diana agreed, reaching back and shaking hands with Olivia. Once she was done with Diana's makeup, Diana stood up quickly and pushed Olivia in the seat.

"What are you doing?" Olivia demanded.

"Your makeup. Duh." Diana said in a matter-of-fact tone. Before Olivia could further object, Diana, fast as a cobra, applied the makeup in less than 3 minutes. Olivia's beauty was even more enhanced, and Diana smiled at her work. She quickly grabbed the flat iron before Olivia could keep protesting, and worked it though Olivia's long, black hair. When she was done, Olivia looked more like a angel than a model.

"Perfect." Diana said, finishing her hair. "Now for a dress." Diana stood up and dragged Olivia just like she had dragged her, and gave Olivia a pure white dress. It was fluffy, and it had small thin straps. It had a huge black bow in the midsection, giving Olivia a thin but not too thin look. Diana had found black ballet shoes just like hers. The only difference was the color. Diana squealed, and Olivia just frowned.

"Squeal with me." Diana ordered. Olivia laughed, and they squealed together. They walked, arm in arm, down the stairs to where Caine and Kevin were playing checkers. It was clear Caine was winning, checkers was a game he had never lost. Diana coughed slightly, and both men looked up.

Caine fell back. He stopped his chair right before it hit the ground, adjusted it, and stared at Diana some more. He was in a trance. He couldn't stop staring. He even drooled a little. Kevin was the same way. He just stared at Olivia. She raised an eyebrow at him, urging for a compliment, and he just kept staring.

"Boys." Diana muttered. Olivia nodded, and they both turned to head back upstairs. Caine held Diana in place, and since her arm was still around Olivia's, she jerked backwards too.

"Let. Me go, Caine. I waited for a compliment. I got nothing." Diana spat.

"No. You want a compliment? Fine. You look amazing Diana." Caine said, voice harsh, despite the compliment he gave her. He pulled her back towards him, ignoring her struggles, and stood up when he pulled her all the way next to him. Olivia was still attatched to Diana's arm, looking extremely frazzled. Caine released Diana, and Diana released Olivia. Kevin put an arm around Olivia's waist, and smiled down at her.

"You look great." Kevin said. Olivia hmphed in agreement, but she blushed anyway. Everyone just stood there. No one talked, no one coughed. Soon, things became awkward. Very, very awkward. Diana looked around, making everything even more akward.

"Well, I want another bagel." Diana said. She looked at the time. 3:18 pm.

"Me too." Caine noted.

Olivia had an idea that struck her.

"How about we have a bagel eating contest?" She asked. Everyone looked around, and Diana smirked.

"Game on."

~X~

In the end, Diana had won. Caine had tried to cheat, lifting up bagels from the package and placing them on his plate, then removing them, leaving the crumbs to look like he ate another one. But Diana had caught him multiple times in the act. The contest ended around 4:00, and they just talked. Caine and Diana talked about what everyone called the FAYZ, the poof, Coates, Sam Temple, everything. Olivia and Kevin talked about how worried they were when everyone left, and Olivia told the story of how her 15 year old cat had poofed too. That had gotten a good laugh. They all talked themselves to sleep. Diana was the first one asleep, and Caine had cradled her soft head against his chest on the couch. Kevin was the next, then soon after Caine, and then Olivia. Kevin and Olivia on one couch, Caine and Diana on the other one.

Still, no one had fully explained to Kevin how to survive the poof. And his birthday was at 4:27 am the next day.
