A/N: I don't own anything :( If I did, I'd be a whole lot richer!
Thank you kingdom-keepers-rule for encouraging me to keep writing this! :D Please continue to review? :)
"Let me get this straight. Overtakers came into your room last night?" Philby asked Amanda, the cute redhead pushing his empty ice cream dish away.
"Yes."
"You fought them?"
"Yes."
"You don't remember a thing about who this Overtaker was?"
"No. Nothing."
"You know there was only one?"
"If there were more only one came into the room."
"Nothing? Size, rough shape, what they were wearing?"
"I… I don't remember. They were bigger than me, and much stronger. If I had to take a guess I'd say probably a guy?"
Philby sighed. "Hey, she's obviously stressed out and upset by this all," Willa whispered to her friend, who she was sitting beside.
"I'm sorry. I'm just trying to think of who it could be," Philby replied, rubbing his temples. The walking encyclopedia, Philby was obviously trying to put together the pieces of the puzzle.
Finn rubbed Amanda's back. "It's okay. Maybe with time you'll remember something else. Maybe your roommate remembers something?"
Amanda snorted. "Doubtful. That girl has slept through violent hurricanes."
"I've done that too!" Charlene, a pretty blonde on the other side of the table defended.
"Do you have holes in your roof right over your bed?" Amanda challenged. Charlene scowled in reply and turned to Maybeck, the large African American boy sitting beside her. She slapped him awake.
"What was that for?" Maybeck screamed as he fell out of the chair and into a wide awake state.
"You've got to stay up, Maybeck," Finn admonished, "We're trying to figure out what we need to do tonight."
"I was just catching up on the sleep that I won't get tonight!" Maybeck replied with raised hands. "And I was having a hot dream too!" All of the girls at the table moaned. "Not like that!" He paused for a moment, "Well, kinda. You see, I had just landed this bathing suit ad and there were these girls in bikinis…"
"Yeah, Romeo, I'd cut the crap. That's not happening," Willa replied with a giggle.
"I don't know, he could have some potential," Charlene added, looking Maybe up and down, "Kind of a muscular, 'I'm your best friend!' type guy." Amanda and Willa exchanged looks with raised eyebrows.
"Back to work, please," Finn said, slapping the table with his hands, "Tonight what's our priority?"
"Find Jess," Amanda replied.
"But we have no idea where to start!" Charlene whined.
"Then we'd better get to sleep early," Philby answered. "In bed by 7?"
Everyone at the table tentatively nodded their heads, then looked to Finn.
"We'll do it," Finn assured everyone. I hope.
