"Let's go to bed"
"Sounds good to me" they walk to the stairs and walk up them as they turn off the lights. They said their good nights before going to bed and getting some sleep.

"Some party"
Then she started tidying up while she reheats the last of pasties, sausage rolls and cheerios. She sorted out the food and put the leftover food onto clean plates that she needed to wash and dry. Sam spent an hour cleaning up, some of it she use her powers to do. She just finished cleaning one room when Jack walk down stairs
"Morning Sam" he gave her a kiss
"Afternoon Jack" he smile
"How long have you been cleaning up for?"
"About an hour and a half, since I got up"

They sat down at the breakfast bar eating what was left of hot food and sandwiches that was left over from the party. They even had a hot drink while eating lunch.
When they finish they both finish cleaning the house up and Sam decided to let the balloon go outside and to float away. So she uses her powers to move them from the ceiling and out the sliding door and watch them float away as they rise up in the air.
