The students were promptly sent home the next morning after the events of Giovanni's raid. The Goon Squad had loaded everything into a truck Trish had rented and made the hour-long drive to Nemona's house in relative silence. They arrived, and as they walked inside, a man and a woman, both clad in beautiful golden silks stood in the living room.

"Mom, dad, you're home. I wasn't expecting you to be back at all this summer." Nemona's mother smiled and told her not to worry, that they would be here in the house for the whole summer, and then asked who this crowd of students was standing behind her darling daughter.

"These are my loves, Amara, Arven, Trish, Penny, and Allie." Nemona's father nodded and gave a few light claps. He congratulated Nemona on another successful year and offered everyone a bedroom, since they seemed to be staying for a while. "Actually, dad, did a big package or three come in the last few days with my name on them?"

"The giant bed, yes. We had the staff take it upstairs and put the boxes in your room, why?" Penny clapped excitedly and kissed Nemona's cheek. "Oh, you meant loves like, oh." Her dad's face flushed as he struggled to find his words. "I guess my daughter is a floozy…" Nemona's mother shot him a death glare and dragged him out of the room by his shirt.

"I'm going to go sort my husband out. Have fun building a bed big enough for six." She turned and closed the door to the master bedroom, where a loud argument started erupting without delay. Nemona let out a sigh and picked up one of her bins.

"My first interaction with my dad since November and he just fucking called me a floozy." She grumbled as the others walked into Nemona's room and sat down their stuff. Penny pulled Nemona into a hug, and the group started putting the bed together.

"This bed is huge! I'm super excited for this." Penny announced as they finished building the bed frame. Nemona opened the mattress box, cut the mattress out of its vacuum packaging, and laid it onto the bed. They sat next to one another on the floor and Penny pulled out her phone. "Does anyone want to go to the Alt Beltane Ball at the convention center in Mesagoza? The LGBT charity is putting it on since Uva didn't get to have theirs."

"Isn't that tonight?" Amara asked and Penny nodded back to her. "Then we need to start hair and makeup like now." Amara dug through the bin of her bathroom supplies, grabbed her hairdryer, makeup kit, and towel. "Alright, let's do this." The others dug their grooming supplies out of their packing and one by one started the process of bathing, primping, and getting dressed. The whole process took an hour and a half, but the crew hopped on their Pokémon, rode to the LGBT charity, and stepped inside.

"Hey, Nemona, it seems really gay in here." Trish joked. The band was playing something soft and sweet, and the Goon Squad started to dance with one another. After a few minutes, Mr. Vaughn walked onto the stage and began to sing what Amara surmised as an original song.

"You see, tonight, it could go either way,

Hearts balanced on a razor blade.

We are designed to love and break,

And to rinse and repeat it all again.

I get stuck when the world's too loud,

Things don't look up when you're goin' down.

I know your arms are reaching out,

From somewhere beyond the clouds.

You make me feel,

Like my troubled heart

is a million miles away.

You make it feel,

Like I'm drunk on stars and

we're dancing out into space,

Celestial."

Amara held Penny as they danced. I think it's time."The Goon Squad is My Greatest Treasure." Amara rest of the group clapped and shared how much they loved everyone, And Penny planted a deep kiss onto Amara's lips.
