Lottie stood up, going to pick up her suitcases when Jamie grabbed them and casually put all four into one hand. Ellie passed him hers and she stood up too. As the children stepped off Ellie's private jet, the Queen embraced them all. Lottie blushed and Jamie and Ellie both went stiff.
"Are you all okay? Lottie, we are so sorry." The Queen asked, breaking away and looking worried.
"We're all good, thank you." Lottie said reassuringly.
They walked into the castle and up to Ellie's rec room: The Vault. Ellie immediately flopped down, face first, onto one of the sofas.
"Ugh. Now what?" Ellie said, rolling over to look at Lottie.
"I don't know..." Lottie smiled, sitting down next to Ellie, "it's strange, isn't it."
"I'm going to my room. See you tomorrow." Jamie said, shutting the door behind him.
"What's up with him?" Ellie asked.
"I think he's missing Rosewood." Lottie said, looking very wise as she nodded her head.
Ellie laughed. They both lay back on her bed, staring at the ceiling.
"Ellie?"
"Yeah?"
"I have something for you."
"Oh, really?"
"Yes, I'll be right back!" Lottie said, jumping up.
"Lottie!" Ellie laughed, sitting up.
"I promise I will be RIGHT back!" And with that, she ran out the door.
Ellie continued to laugh. She then stood up and turned on her TV. She watched the Simpsons for the next five minutes, until Lottie burst through the door, Jamie following her begrudgingly.
"Hello." She laughed.
"I'm going now." Jamie said, before Lottie grabbed his arm and pulled him back. He grunted in annoyance but didn't try to leave again.
"Ellie, you need to come with US." Lottie said, giving Jamie a stern look.
They walked down to a large room full of sports equipment. Sabres were neatly organised in bags and white uniforms were hanging from a small pole at the end of the room.
"Oh, wow!" Ellie said, breathlessly.
"Do you like it?" Lottie asked nervously.
"Yes!" Ellie picked Lottie up and spun her in the air, making her blush and giggle. She hugged Lottie and whispered into her ear.
"Thank you."
