Raelyn woke up with a start. Confused to why she was laying on the couch. Even more confused as to why Carlos was snuggled into her with his hand still interlocked with hers.

She looked down at him, he looked so peaceful and innocent like this. It was weird to think his mother was a cruel dog-napper.

Jeez, he is adorable. She smiled. She felt the top of her head to check, and sighed in relief when she knew that the spell hadn't worn off yet. Thank goodness! She sat up.

Carlos' head slipped and landed softly on her lap. He mumbled in his sleep and got comfortable again.

Raelyn rolled her eyes. She checked the time and was surprised at how late it was in the morning. She poked Carlos' cheek gently. "Hey, sleepy pup." She said softly.

Carlos released her hand and turned on his back and rubbed his eyes. When he finally opened them, they widened. I must still be dreaming…

"Morning." She smiled gently.

"Raelyn?" He murmured.

"The one and only."

Dude barked.

He sat up quickly and fell off the couch. "Rae?!"

She nodded. "We established this."

"Wha? How?" He looked around. "Did I fall asleep?"

She nodded again.

"On you?"

"Yep."

He went as red as a stop sign. "I am so sorry!" He hung his head. "I dunno why or what I was thinking." He babbled away.

She sighed and placed her hands on his cheeks and made him look at her. "Do I look mad?"

He tilted his head to the side. "No, but you do look cute with bed hair." What? Why did I say that?! To her. Right now.

She looked in the mirror to see that her hair was indeed a mess, more like a bird nest. "Ugh, I look terrible."

"You always look beautiful."

She blushed. "Thanks, I guess."

Carlos mentally kicked himself. Damn! Why doesn't my big mouth behave around her. "I think I'm still half asleep, so forgive me." He yawned.

"No problem, but I claim the bathroom first." She stated.

He nodded. "I'm gonna go and face Jay, and get cleaned up." Dude followed him out. "Knock on my door when you wanna leave."

"Good luck." She called, grabbing her huntsman outfit.

It consisted of black skin tight pants that had claw mark like tears up the legs from her accidently digging her nails in when pulling them up, a black vest and a black leather jacket that hugged her curves and black military style boots.

She showered quickly and applied just a little makeup around her eyes. She had to admit, she liked the way Evie had done it the day before. That girl really does know style. She tied her hair up into a high pony tail and preformed the spell again to keep her ears and tail in check.

She looked in the mirror, quite happy with her appearance. Why am I dressing up to go practise archery? She shrugged and grabbed her jacket.

Carlos tried to sneak into his and Jay's room… and failed.

"So…?" Jay was sat with his arms folded on his bed. "What time do you call this Carlos?" He wiggled his brows.

Carlos sighed. "I call it eleven o'clock."

"In the morning." Jay nodded. "You stopped at Raelyn's last night. Did you miss Dude that much?"

Carlos went into his draws and pulled out clean jeans and a black vest. "I slept on the couch before you say anything."

"Mmmmhmmm?"

"You were snoring loudly."

"That hasn't driven you out before." Jay stood up and sniffed Carlos' t-shirt. "You've got her scent all over you."

Carlos frowned. "And you sniff her a lot, do you?"

"Not purposely, but she does smell good." Jay grinned.

Yes, she does… Carlos shook his head. "I'm gonna jump in the shower."

"Ah… getting ready for your date in the woods." Jay sang.

"It's not a date!" Carlos snapped.

"Sure, sure." Jay chuckled.

Shortly after, there was a knock at their door.

"Oh, I wonder who that might be." Jay sighed and answered the door. "Hello, gorgeous!" He welcomed Raelyn.

"Hello bedhead!" She grinned.

Jay frowned then looked in the mirror. "Ah, great!" He grabbed his brush and tried to untangle his long locks. "Ow, ow, ow!" He yelped, his hair got stuck in the brush.

She giggled. "Sit down, I'll get that knot out." She ordered.

He obeyed her. "Don't rip it out."

"Oh, come on! Don't you trust me?" She pouted. She gently teased the knot out of his hair and began to brush the rest of it. "Your hair is so pretty, for a guy I mean." She commented.

Jay was in heaven. "Why, thank you." She's being so gentle and nice… is this what it's like to have a mother looking after you?

"All done!" She announced.

"You are an angel." He stood up and kissed her forehead lightly. "Do you want some juice? I nabbed some from the kitchen this morning."

"That sounds great, thank you." She smiled, her face warming up.

He poured some and handed it to her. "For the lady."

She took a sip and hummed. "This is delicious!"

He stared a little. "Yes you- it is." He caught himself.

She sat at the table.

"Carlos shouldn't be long, he's in the shower."

She nodded.

"Was Carlos alright last night?" He asked, partly to be nosy and partly because he was a little concerned with the youngest member of the rotten four.

She sighed. "I think he's feeling better, but he seemed worried about seeing his mom again."

Jay nodded, knowing how badly Cruella treat Carlos back in the Isle. "Well, the rest of us can handle ourselves with our parents… you just stick with him, okay? For me?"

She bit her lip. "Okay."

"Apart from us, I think you're the first person he has let into his heart, so I'm really glad that you met him in the kitchen and won him over with pancakes." Jay laughed. "You've put a spell on all of us."

Raelyn stared at her glass. "I'm not all that great."

He snorted. "Carlos came to you, out of all of us, to confide in. That is a special talent even I don't possess."

The bathroom door opened and Carlos came out, drying his hair. "Who's here, Jay?" He asked, as his head was covered with the towel he couldn't see Raelyn sat at the table.

"I'll give you a clue. She stole your dog's love." Jay joked.

Carlos flicked his head up. "Hey, you're ready quick." He smiled at her.

"And they say girls take forever to get ready." She replied, subtly checking him out.

His damp skin made the vest cling to his abs very nicely, his subtly built arms were exposed and his hair stuck out at odd ends.

She felt her heart quicken a little. Why?!

"Just give me a couple minuets to sort myself out." He said.

"Take as long as you need, we still have all day."

He sat down and continued to towel dry his hair.

She continued to drink her juice.

Dude lay at her feet.

"Sorry, little guy, but the woods might be a bit dangerous for small dogs like you." She petted the pooch and then looked up to Jay. "Could you walk him today?"

He nodded. "If you ask for it, I'd do anything."

She raised a brow. "You're a smooth talker, aren't you?"

"Is it working?" He smirked.

"Maybe." She winked.

Carlos fastened a chain around his neck and pulled on his red leather fingerless gloves. "All ready." He stood up and grabbed his jacket.

"Great, do you wanna finish this?" She handed him the glass.

He took it gratefully. "Thank you." He downed the half glass in one. He wiped his top lip. "Let's go. See you Jay. Look after Dude." He waved to his roommate.

"Don't do anything I wouldn't do." Jay winked.

Carlos rolled his eyes and shut the door.
