Galadriel tried to push past Ulrich, "Young man, you and your friends are up to something and getting in my way! FYI I don't like being lied to!" With one final shove she got past Ulrich and into the closet.
Clarice blinked, Galadriel blinked.
"We haven't been introduced," She said, turning to Ulrich and folding her arms.
Ulrich turned red and Kat hung her head.
"Well, see, this is… is…," Ulrich turned to Kat desperate.
"Aelita's sister! She um…," Kat turned back to Ulrich, with the word help in her eyes.
"And she… she… wants to err…." Ulrich paused, "wanted to talk to Aelita cause they… they…"
"Haven't spoken in a while!" Kat finished.
"Right," coursed Ulrich and Clarice.
Galadriel wasn't convinced, "Is that true?"
The trio nodded.
Galadriel shook her head, "Might I remind you I don't like being lied to?"
"But we're not!" Said the trio.
"Right…"
Kat and Ulrich turned to each other for ideas.
Aelita came bursting in; she held a piece of paper and was waving it around like a flag, "Guys! Guess what! Guess!"
Ulrich looked from, Aelita, to the paper, to Galadriel while Kat whistled innocently.
Aelita turned around, "Oh, hi…" she turned red, "How are we this fine morning?"
Ulrich looked up at Galadriel and Aelita passed the paper to Ulrich. Yumi entered with Odd, "What is going on?" Yumi asked, looking at Galadriel, then Ulrich, then Kat, Aelita and finally addressing Ulrich.
Ulrich smiled weakly, "Well, Galadriel and us were having a nice… chat."
Ulrich unfolded the paper and turned it behind his back so that Clarice could read it.
She read it; it said one word, in Aelita's neat handwriting: Broken Ice.
Clarice turned upwards to look at Aelita, "Well sis, nice talking to you, I have to go, meeting." With that the screen went black and Clarcie was no longer there.
Galadriel smiled, "So you were telling the truth," She turned and said as she departed, "We leave in five."
