"It's fine Lloyd, go eat." Keith yells down the hallway to him.

My friends and I look to one another, something's up with that kid. Yes, Marcus told me about him but that why separate himself from others so much? They saved him, didn't they?

Eventually everyone finished eating. Marcus went to start setting up new rooms for my friends and I with keith. Nikki and Shard decided to go outside for some fresh air, Jayne is looking for a game to play in the shelf of board games our new friends have, Eris is reading, and Daniel is talking to felicia.

"I'm not helping you with that!" Felicia yells at Daniel.

"But it would be so funny!" he says back, arms crossed.

"Are your helpers okay with this?"

Daniel rolls his eyes.

"Eris! Samantha! come here please!" confused, I walk over to the duo, Eris close behind.

He waits for everyone to be gone before he speaks.

"You wanna prank Shard and Nikki?" he asks bluntly.

I start cracking up.

"Duh! Why wouldn't I?"

Eris grins as well, a nod tells that she agrees.

"Great! Felicia, you okay now?"

She sighs, rolling her eyes but does comply.

"Awesome! Now that we have everyone let's set it into action." He says deviously.

---------

A few hours later here we are.

Surely this won't work, right? It's so overplayed. Sending my negative thoughts out the window, I place myself. Minute later Felicia flies in with a large white sheet draped over her body, Daniel (at maybe 2 inches) sitting on her shoulder under the fabric.

They fly to Nikki and Shard, neither of whom are paying any attention yet. Eris starts her end of the prank, making the two look transparent in our friends minds. Now to get them to notice.

Invisible, I start grabbing anything i can carry and start walking around with them. Finally catching Nikki and Shard attention, startling them both. Daniel starts speaking, making ghostly sounds, oddly realistic. I'm guessing he's probably practice.

"What the fuck!" Nikki screeches, his voice reaching a scarily high pitch.

I almost broke into a fit of laughter from that one aspect, but do manage to keep it in and continue.

Shard, out of anger, tries to grab at the object i'm floating around. She obviously doesn't think this is nearly as funny as i do.

A grumpy Shard is chasing me around, nikki's freaked out by the others doings, and Jayne has just run into the scene.

"Hey Nikki I need someone to play this board game with! Can you play wit-"

Stopping mid sentence, the speedsters eyes widen at the scene playing out before her. She screeches loudly chucking the box she was holding in Felicia and Daniels direction. luckily it misses them.This continues for a good 5 minutes.

A scream emits from Daniel as he's scared into normal height as two hands from under the ground grab Felicia's legs, pulling the duo out of the ghost costume. Eris's magic flickers off and I turn visible out of surprise.

"Hey! Who did that?" Daniel says standing up. Shard starts laughing loudly, we all turn to see Lloyd standing behind Daniel holding the sheet of fabric. A small, innocent, smile tugging at his lips sheepishly.

Daniels look of anger turns to surprise and slight relief.

"You're outside your room, the house even!"

Lloyd looks at the grass, dropping the fabric to the ground.

"Yeah, well I can't stay in there forever. Besides, I'm starting to look like a ghost because of how pale i've become." He chuckles softly. " Keith said he needed you guys help with the room. They can't get the third bunk of the second bed in place."

Felicia nods, grabbing Daniel and running off quickly. Leaving Lloyd with us.

Lloyd looks at us, awkwardly standing as he leans against the tree behind him.

Jayne runs over and grabs the box of board games, then both Shard and Nikki's hands dragging them off to play in the house.

Eris, Lloyd and I stand uncomfortably in the clearing.

"So, your Sam and Eris. Right?"

Eris and I nod.

"Lloyd, correct?" Eris sputters out.

Lloyd confirms Eris's question with a nod of his own.

We all look to one another awkwardly.

"I uh, Sorry for startling you this morning Eris." Lloyd apologizes quickly before looking to the sky,midday.

"Uh, I should get my medication. See you all later!" He sputters as he runs back towards the tree-house.

I will at some point go find him just to talk, he needs to be more social, And if Eris, Shard, Jayne, Nikki and I plan on freeing our people that means our new teammates are gonna help. That includes Lloyd.

"Wanna go check on the new room? See if they need help?"

I nod in reply to Eris's question. Smiling, we both trek to the house. It's a large hollow tree. A staircase spiraling inside the trunk to the top where a small house is built onto the sturdy branches. I think it was mentioned that the new room would be shared between my friends and I and that it was located on a developed floor below the house level.

Once we reached the area, we opened the door, greeted by a wondrous sight.

"This is amazing!"

Everyone laugh at my childish antics. I walk forward spinning in the open space.A window like hole in the wall above a desk. On either sides of the desk are bunk beds. One with two bunks, the other with three. Looks like they had just gotten the third bunk into place judging by Felicia floating beside it and Daniel at about 8 feet high.

"Is it stable?" eris asks, unsure.

"Should be!" Markus says proudly.

I let out a squee of excitement and immediately climb onto the highest bunk."I call dibs!"

"Dangit I wanted that one!" Jayne pouts, entering the room. She sighs crawling onto the opposing beds top bunk. Everyone laughs as we all situate ourselves. Myself on the top of the triple bunk bed, Eris on the middle bunk, Shard on the bottom bunk, Nikki on the bottom of the other bed and Jayne on the bed above him.

"Supper will be ready within an hour." Keith sighs as he walks away, leaving my friends and I in our new room.
