"That's fine," Thalia responded with a grin.

Deanna smiled and got the stuff she would need for oatmeal." Would you like apples or peaches on top? I also like to put brown sugar and milk on it too.

(sorry for taking so long to post. Final move in today and internet was being picky. *teasing* feel like seeing it? lol)

"Can I have some apples, brown sugar and milk please?" Thalia asked before telling Deanna that she was going to take a shower.

( That's okay. Been doing some pre-class homework. I hate it when instructors do that.[illgetu]Sure I would. Also got to finally see Star Trek 2009. [squee] I liked it better than I thought I would.)

"Alright. It should be ready by the time you are done." Deanna said and got the oatmeal ready to heat on the stove.

(alright, glad to hear that you had something to do, and that sounds completely cruel to the students by instructors like that...Glad to hear you enjoyed the Star Trek movie)

"Thanks," Deanna shouted as she stepped into the shower, sighing lightly as the warm water washed over her skin. 'I hope dad doesn't go overboard with the punishments...he did say he was going to punish them though for what they did to me and the others,' Thalia thought to herself as she washed herself clean. A few minutes later she finished and toweled dry.

( It is, but the good news is I won't have a final project. Now I can relax a little.)

Deanna had chopped up the apples and had divided the oatmeal into the two bowls. She had Thalia's all ready and put it on the counter. Deanna then worked on her's and was glad that the fighting was over here in this town.

(Then I guess that's a fair trade off)

Thalia walked into the kitchen fully dressed. Seeing the bowl of oatmeal out for her, Thalia flashed Dea a smile and thanked her for it. "You know, a girl could get use to this," she teased as she took a spoonful of the oatmeal. She was glad that she chose to disobey the orders of the Scientists and befriend both Tracy and Deanna.

Deanna was glad that she had met Thalia and would not change how they met. "Want me to make out lunch or eat in the cafeteria today?" Deanna asked as she ate her oatmeal.

"I think it's better if you made it today," Thalia replied as she finished her breakfast. Rinsing her bowl in the sink, she then placed it in the dishwasher.

" How about a turkey sandwich and some of the leftover homemade potato chips? " Deanna suggested and was glad they had enough time.

Thalia nodded to the idea. "Sounds good to me. I'm still surprised that no one wants to try their mettle against someone like you and me," Thalia responded as she turned around.

"I haven't been working their long. Time will tell if we get challenged. Lena said that its fairly often for the receptionist to be challenged , but there can be slow times like these. " Deanna said as she made their lunches.

"Alright. Lena is the person who helps Tracy with the running of the gym, right?" Thalia asked as she was trying to put names to faces.

" Right. But she was the receptionist before I worked here. " Deanna said thinking back to when she was in that prison and gave a slight shudder.

"I see," Thalia said before seeing Dea shudder briefly for a second and asked what was wrong in a concerned tone.

" Nothing. Just remembering when I was imprisoned here." Deanna started and told Thalia about what had happened with Bryce.

Thalia scowled once she heard the story from Deanna. "He got what he deserved," she said with venom in her voice.

" Yep he did." Deanna said feeling better." Ready to get a move on?" She asked when she looked at the clock.

"I'm ready if you are," Thalia responded.

" Yep I am." Deanna said and grabbed what she needed for the day.

Thalia grabbed her lunch and headed out the door with Deanna and waited for her to lock the door.

Deanna locked the door and headed toward her workplace. She was looking forward to finally things being normal again, and made a note to tell Carly about what she found out.

"Has my Uncle contacted you again through your dreams?" Thalia asked in a curious nature. "He told me that father asked him to punish all of the scientists through nightmares, I believe he even asked him to use NiGHTS and Reala to help him with it," she continued a few seconds later after making sure that no one was around to hear them, especially since it was more of a private conversation between the both of them.

"He did last night. He was the one who told me about my mom.I hope Carly's friend Eve isn't punished to badly. She was a receptionist for the Scientists, but escaped once she found out they were going to use her for an experiment." Deanna said, remembering what Carly had told her.

"That's terrible," Thalia said after hearing about Eve. "Didn't Carly say there was someone else who was once a scientist? A male I believe," she asked. She didn't like the scientists for what they did to her, but it didn't mean that everyone deserved her Uncle and father's wrath.
