The Saintshields' cabins happened to be next to the G-Revolution's cabins, so they were spending a lot of time together. After dinner in the ship's huge dining room, they were just sitting around in one of the living rooms, reading, talking or simply relaxing.

Suddenly, Tyson stood up and said loudly, "Let's play dark room!"

"What's dark room?" asked Hilary in interest.

"Paying hide and seek in a dark room," replied Tyson. "Duh!"

Nobody noticed a girl with red hair sitting quietly in one corner of the room. She shut her book and looked up with interest. She would, of course, leave as soon as they started playing, but until then…

"Tyson," said Ozuma. "That's a very childish game."

"So what?" Tyson shot back. "Aren't you bored? Besides, I'll make sure to play pranks or make life miserable in any way for whoever doesn't!" Everyone knew what that meant, coming from Tyson, so they agreed to play hurriedly. It was decided that Ray would be 'it' first.

Without warning, Tyson switched the light off after Ray left the room. "Okay," he hissed, "You guys can hide now."

After a few moments, Ray's voice came through the door: "I'm coming in!" He entered the room and closed the door. 'Now,' thought the girl 'is the time to get out.' She knew exactly who all these people were, but unlike most people, didn't want to meet them, because she knew how awkward things could get for her. Getting to her feet, she listened intently for any sounds of a person close to her. She heard nothing. Relieved, she began to head for the door.

Suddenly, a voice hissed behind her, "Gotcha!" and someone grabbed hold of her shoulders. "Let go!" she hissed back, struggling to free herself. Ray (obviously it was him, since he was 'it') said in a confused voice, "Wait, I don't know you!" Retaining his hold on her shoulders, he marched her towards the door and took her outside.

"Sorry, I was in the room, and I didn't want to disturb anyone so I decided to leave when it was dark."

Ray, however, was looking at her with a slight frown. "Well, I'll be going now," she said, laughing nervously. It looked like Ray didn't recognize her; that was good.

"Wait a second," said Ray. "Do I know you from somewhere?"

"No, I don't think so," she said nervously. "I guess I'll just go now…"

"No, I know I've met you before," said Ray, not removing his hands from her shoulders. "Salima?"

"T-That's my name," replied Salima, with an attempt at nonchalance. "But, uh, I don't think you know me. That must have been another Salima."

Ray, however, grinned and said, "This is awesome, meeting you after all this time!" He led her back into the room and switched on the lights. "Hey guys, look who's here! Salima!"

Salima gave a perfunctory smile to the room at general. Everyone was crawling out of their hiding places, except a few, who had remained where they were. "What're you doing here, Salima?" asked Tyson, squeezing himself out of a gap behind the sofa.

"Oh, Kane and the others thought I'd been working really hard, and I needed vacation, so here I am," replied Salima.

She was soon introduced to everyone else, and then Tyson said brightly, "Hey! You can play dark room too!"

Salima tried to get out of it but it was impossible to argue with Tyson, so she agreed. "Ray gives the turn again!" exclaimed Tyson, pushing Ray out of the door, and ignoring his protests as such rough treatment. Flicking the light switch off, he said, "Everyone hide!" and proceeded to do so himself.

Salima looked around for a place to hide. She couldn't see anything so she felt her way into a corner of the room, where she sat down with her knees drawn up to her chin. Hopefully he wouldn't find her there.

Julia had curled up right beside the sofa, leaning against it. She was pretty sure that Tyson would find someone else before he got to her. That's why she was completely relaxed; until she found someone sit down against the wall next to her.

Se drew her knees up to her chin; she didn't want anyone to know where she was. She didn't want to be 'it'! However, someone must have heard her dragging her feet across the floor, and she heard the person next to her say, "Who's sitting here?" aloud. It was Tala's voice.

She remained silent. Next thing she knew, Tala had shot out a hand and was running it along the wall, trying to find out who was there. Julia got up and tiptoed into the middle of the room, where she bumped into someone else. It was Miriam, who seemed to have trouble finding somewhere to hide. With a loud, "Ouch!" both of them fell over in the dark.

"Who fell?" hissed someone, and then Julia and Miriam were pulled up by Miguel. However, in the dark they couldn't see anything and as they were walking (they thought they were walking back to their hiding places) all three collided again. 'GEEZ!" exclaimed Miguel. "Watch where you guys are going!"

And it was at this inopportune moment that Ray decided to come in. "NO!" shouted most of the people in the room, and next thing he knew, he had been tackled to the floor by several different people.

He blinked. He couldn't make out anyone's face in the dark but he was reasonably sure it was Tyson, Max and Miguel. "What're you guys doing?" he asked, when he finally got his breath back.

"We weren't ready!" said Tyson. "At least, Miguel and two others weren't."

"Couldn't you just told me?" asked Ray feebly. An argument was brewing up but at that moment the light was flicked on by Kai, revealing a very strange scene. Ray was on his stomach on the floor, with Max, Tyson and Miguel sitting on him. Julia and Miriam were both on the floor in the middle of the room, being helped up by Gary. Tala was sitting against the wall, shaking with silent laughter. People were crawling out of bizarre hiding places, and Salima was watching the scene unfold in amusement from her corner.

Kai said coolly, "What do all of you think you're doing?"

"I was TRYING to look for everyone when I was tackled by these oafs," replied Ray.

"Who're you calling an oaf?" asked Miguel, annoyed.

"You!" replied Ray.

Kai walked over to Ray, Tyson, Max and Miguel, and grabbing two of them by their collars, pulled them away from Ray. "Miguel, get off Ray," said Kai lazily. "And I don't think we should play dark room anymore. It's not a good idea." Saying this, he walked off, leaving the others to sort out the tangles.
