They walked in, staring in awe at all the things to see. "Whoa!" exclaimed Stacy. "There's a store!" She pointed to a small section off the main walkway. Inside hosted an assortment of candy, drinks, and other foods.

"Come on, guys. Don't get distracted," advised Jesse. "We'll look around tomorrow morning before we go to the parks." They followed him to the service desk, where he talked to the worker manning the counter. They talked a long time.

Hadrian became bored and started walking around, discovering a small alcove with a TV and bean bag chairs. He glanced around furtively, then switched the channel to Dora. (Why was Dora an option? It wasn't even Disney!) He settled down happily, singing along, "I'm the map, I'm the map, I'm the map!"

He didn't notice that Ivor was watching him confusedly.


Finally, finally, Jesse had secured their rooms. Somehow, he had even managed to talk the guy into getting them an extra one. (It might have been the cute pig.) When told this news, Ellegaard was delighted. "Can I have it?"

At the same time, Magnus said, "Ooh! I want it!"

Gabriel smirked. "You can share it."

Ellegaard died a little inside.

"We can decide who'll get it once we read out the room assignments," spoke up Harper. She took out a small black notebook and started organizing people into groups. "Okay, listen up!" she yelled.

No one listened. "Hey, guys!"

Nobody paid attention to her except Mevia, who complained under her breath but said, "Hold on."

Mevia jumped onto the nearest table and yelled, "EVERYBODY SHUT UP!" This earned her a nasty glare from the desk manager, but it got everyone to be quiet. She smiled innocently at Harper. "Carry on."

Harper raised her eyebrows. " ...Anyway... roommates are: Petra, Olivia, Maya, Nell, and Em"—she flipped a page—"Lizzie, Stacy, Cassie, and Isa, along with their pets"—page flip—"Ellegaard, Mevia, and me"—Mevia rolled her eye —"And... oh, that's all the girls."

Now for the boys. "We have Jesse, Reuben, Lukas, and Axel. Then Aiden and Gill. There's also Sparklez and TorqueDawg. Stampy and Dan. Soren and Gabriel. Lastly, we have Hadrian," — she gave a slight grimace — "Magnus, and Ivor. That's everyone, right?"

"But what about the extra room?" persisted Magnus.

"What if Em and Nell take that one?" suggested Olivia. "Our room is already crowded."

"You fine with that?" Harper asked. The girls nodded.

"Here are your keycards. The room number's on the card, so don't lose it." Harper passed out the keys to everyone, and they all scrambled for their rooms.
