Charlie didn't know exactly when he had fallen asleep but the next thing he knew he was being shaken awake by Olivia who was crying the words, "We're here! We're here!"

"Huh? What?" he groaned not really away yet.

"We're at the cottage!" Fidelio told him excitedly.

Charlie sat up with a wide grin on his face. He jumped out of the car and stretched. "How long was I asleep?"

"Only an hour and a half," his uncle said from behind him.

They started pulling their bags from out of the car and Runner bean jumped out of the back and began running wildly in circles.

"Charlie!" someone called and he turned around to see Henry running toward him.

"Hey Henry! What's up man?" he called bounding over to meet him with Billy, Fidelio and Benjamin not far behind.

"Not much. I haven't seen you all in a long time!"

"Come help us get our shit out of the trunk," Fidelio said and the five boys sprinted back to the van.

"Hello Henry, I'm Lysander Sage. Call me Sander."

"Hey Sander," Henry smiled. The rest of them traded greeting and Henry asked, "So are all of you endowed?"

"Most of us," Emma replied. "Fidelio, Benjamin, and Lauren aren't though. I can change into any bird and fly."

"When you first met me I wasn't endowed but now I am. The Bloors don't even know about me," Olivia spoke up. "Or rather, they know that there is another endowed but they don't know that it's me."

"Well good, they shouldn't control everyone!" Henry approved.

"You're right they shouldn't. And we won't let them," Charlie declared thinking of his awesome plan.

The rest of them exchanged news of their endowments and Henry exclaimed, "Wow all of that sounds so amazing! But I'm quite happy that I'm not endowed. It seems like such a hassle."

"I'm glad about it too." Benjamin agreed.

Lauren nodded. "I don't think I would like to be endowed either. I get enough of this endowed stuff just by hanging out with everyone."

"You can all catch up later! We need to get settled now," Paton said from behind the suitcases he was holding.

"Whoops sorry uncle P! I forgot about it all!" Charlie apologized. They laughed and all got to work.
