Flora POV
I wake up and check my phone. It was buzzing furiously I only have time to check the most recent few messages because they're coming up so fast.
Tech Girl - Stella you need to go to settings and turn on your notifications.
*Shining Sun is typing...*
Shining Sun - Where's settings?
*Tech Girl is typing..."
Tech Girl - Try the app that says "settings".
*Shining Sun is typing...*
Shining Sun - Ooh I think I found it.
*Tech Girl is typing...*
Tech Girl - Why are we texting instead of talking? I mean it's pretty normal for me, but still.
*ILikePianos is typing...*
ILikePianos - I don't see why that's a problem for you, Tec.
*RedHead is typing...*
RedHead - I guess we're all too lazy to get out of bed today.
*WaterGirl is typing...*
WaterGirl - Yep.
*Shining Sun is typing...*
Shining Sun - I'm gonna go pee now.
*ILikePianos is typing...*
ILikePianos - Too much information, Stell.
I can hear everyone's laughter as we hear Stella walk into the bathroom.
"I can hear you!" She yells which makes us laugh even more.
For some reason , we spend most of the day texting in our rooms.
*WaterGirl is typing...*
WaterGirl - I'm bored.
I remember that I told Mark I'd go to Linphea with him. I totally forgot we weren't allowed to go anywhere too far away!
*FlowerPower is typing...*
FlowerPower - Oh, no. I promised Mark I'd go to Linphea with him.
*RedHead is typing...*
RedHead - Is Mark your friend?
*FlowerPower is typing...*
FlowerPower - Yeah.
*Shining Sun is typing...*
Shining Sun - Well you'll have to reskedg.
*ILikePianos is typing...*
ILikePianos - Stella, please don't tell me you invented a word again.
*Shining Sun is typing...*
Shining Sun - Ugh, it's short for reschegual.
*Tech Girl is typing...*
Tech Girl - Reschedule?
*Shining Sun is typing...*
Shining Sun - Whatever.
*ILikePianos is typing...*
ILikePianos - Of course you don't know how to spell it. You can barely spell real words.
*Shining Sun is typing...*
Shining Sun - What am I doing now, then?
*ILikePianos is typing...*
ILikePianos - Your phone corrects it for you.
*Shining Sun is typing...*
Shining Sun - Fine.
*RedHead is typing...*
RedHead - That is the funniest made-up word you've ever made up.
*Shining Sun is typing...*
Shining Sun - At least someone appreciates my talent.
*Tech Girl is typing...*
Tech Girl - Making up words is not a talent.
*Shining Sun is typing...*
Shining Sun - Whatever.
*FlowerPower is typing...*
FlowerPower - Now we have gone way off topic.
*WaterGirl is typing...*
WaterGirl - Oops, sorry.
WaterGirl - What were you saying again?
*RedHead is typing...*
RedHead - Maybe you shouldn't go. Now in a mean way, but it could be for the best.
*ILikePianos is typing...*
ILikePianos - Yeah, you're practically a sitting duck out there on your own.
*FlowerPower is typing...*
FlowerPower - Yeah... but I'll have my magic!
*RedHead is typing...*
Bloom - That can only do so much, Flo.
There is a long pause.
*Tech Girl is typing...*
Tech Girl - Did you hear that?
*RedHead is typing...*
RedHead - What?
*ILikePianos is typing...*
ILikePianos - Huh?
*Tech Girl is typing...*
Tech Girl - Oh, never mind.
A few minutes pass.
*FlowerPower is typing...*
FlowerPower - I think everyone is a little paranoid.
*WaterGirl is typing...*
WaterGirl - Yep.
*Shining Sun is typing...*
Stella - I really want to go out :(
*RedHead is tying...*
RedHead - Well too bad because we're not for a while. It's for our own good Stella.
There is another pause.
*Shining Sun is typing...*
Shining Sun - Hold on, did we even ask in the first place or are we all just assuming the answer?
*ILikePianos is typing...*
ILikePianos - I guess she has a point.
*Shining Sun is typing...*
Shining Sun - Hold on.
*RedHead is typing...*
RedHead - Why?
*Shining Sun is typing...*
Shining Sun - I'm texting Brandon. Shhh!
*WaterGirl is typing...*
WaterGirl - Nobody made any noise, Stell.
*Shining Sun is typing...*
Shining Sun - Are you serious?
*Tech Girl is typing...*
Tech Girl - I'm guessing that's a no?
*Shining Sun is typing...*
Shining Sun - Not just a no. A, "no and we are going to work so you'll have to get a babysitter."
*FlowerPower is typing...*
FlowerPower - He said it like that?
*Shining Sun is typing...*
Shining Sun - Not exactly, but he might as well have.
*RedHead is typing...*
RedHead - Who is coming over?
*Shining Sun is typing...*
Shining Sun - Roxy.
*RedHead is typing...*
RedHead - Then what's all the fuss about?
*Shining Sun is typing...*
Shining Sun - I am not having a babysitter that's younger than me!
*FlowerPower is typing...*
FlowerPower - She's not a babysitter. She can help protect us if needs be and so can I.
*Shining Sun is typing...*
Shining Sun - Whatever.
*WaterGirl is typing...*
WaterGirl - When is she coming then?
*Shining Sun is typing...*
Shining Sun - Half an hour!
*Tech Girl is typing...*
Tech Girl - Okay. That's not too bad.
*ILikePianos is typing...*
ILikePianos - Yeah. Roxy's pretty cool, and we haven't seen her in over a year and a half.
*RedHead is typing...*
RedHead - True, we lost contact for a while. I completely forgot!
*FlowerPower is typing...*
FlowerPower - Am I the only worried one?
*WaterGirl is typing...*
WaterGirl - What could go wrong?
*FlowerPower is typing...*
FlowerPower - Give me ten minutes and I'll write you a list.
*WaterGirl is typing...*
WaterGirl - Okay, okay, no. I think we are all worried.
*Shining Sun is typing...*
Shining Sun - I'm not.
*TechGirl is typing...*
Tech Girl - Suuuure.
*Shining Sun is typing...*
Shining Sun - Are you?
*Tech Girl is typing...*
Tech Girl - Yes. I have the guts to admit it.
*ILikePianos is typing...*
ILikePianos - We'll be fine. They're gone.
*RedHead is typing...*
RedHead - We don't know that.
*Shining Sun is typing...*
Shining Sun - Yeah. They could easily come kill us now.
*FlowerPower is typing...*
FlowerPower - Stella! Don't say that!
*ILikePianos is typing...*
ILikePianos - By the way, who created all these stupid names?
*Shining Sun is typing...*
Shining Sun - Hey! I think they're pretty good!
*RedHead is typing...*
RedHead - Stella, change them back!
*Shining Sun is typing...*
Shining Sun - Okay, Okay, fine.
Shining Sun changed RedHead to Bloom
Shining Sun changed WaterGirl to Aisha
Shining Sun changed FlowerPower to Flora
Shining Sun changed ILikePianos to Musa
Shining Sun changed Tech Girl to Tecna
Shining Sun changed Shining Sun to Stella
There is a loud knock on the front door, and we all rush downstairs to see Roxy waiting with a smile.
