Julianne Hunter walked to the kitchen and made yet another cup of coffee before sitting down on the couch and relaxedly took a sip from said cup.

  They all remained silent, and their bites of food became more hesitant.

  It was several moments before she started.

  Julianne: I talked to your principal.

  They all raised their heads to her.

  She relaxedly took another sip.

  Julianne: You're all excused from school for now, so don't worry about it.

  They all exchanged glances with each other.

  Luke: Errrr.... thanks.

  Julianne: Don't mention it.

  Ken: Wait, what about...

  Julianne: I also talked to your parents. I got their phone number from the principal.

  Ken: B... but...

  Julianne: There's no need to worry, Ken. I told them you just so happened to have been invited to a party by the famous Julianne Hunter and that you ended up staying the night.

  Ken: I... I see.

  Julianne: So you knew I was famous before?

  Ken: Huh. Well... I....

  Julianne giggled, much to all of their shock.

  Julianne: It's alright. It's alright. I was only teasing. Besides, it's a little odd to see someone of your age so interested in movies of that time.

  Ken: No, it's just...

  Ken was visibly embarrassed.

  Julianne: Or is there another reason as to why you know that I was once an actress?

  Ken: Well, I...

  He held his tongue. "Should he or should he not tell her about her about his powers?" he thought.

  The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

  Julianne: Hmm. It's no big deal. No pressure.

  Ken exhaled in relief.

  Julianne: So, how was your night? Did you all sleep well?

  They all exchanged uneasy glances.

  "Why was she being so nice to them?" they thought?

  Luke: I... It was fine, ma'am.

  Julianne: I see. And what about your breakfast?

  Luke: It was delicious, thank you.

  Julianne: Well, I'm happy to hear that.

  She smiled and continued to relaxedly sip her coffee while they all uneasily waited on her.

  Julianne: Oh, don't let me stop you from eating. Please, go on.

  They looked at each other and then began to eat the food but at a more relaxed pace.

  Julianne: Well... I would have preferred that you all ate at the table, but...

  They all paused.

  Julianne: Oh, it's fine. There's nothing to worry about. I'll just clean it up later.

  They looked at each other uneasily.

  Julianne: Go on. It's no trouble.

  They all slowly continued to eat from their plates.

  And there they remained. Eating silently while she sipped her coffee.

  Julianne: Why don't you all tell me something about yourselves?

  They flinched again.

  Julianne: Oh, come now. Don't be shy.

  She said it with a smile on her face. None of them could believe what they were seeing.

  They all looked at each other again.

  Julianne: Oh, come on. I won't bite.

  Luke sighed and decided to start.

  Luke: Uhhh... sure. I'm Luke, and I uhhhh... work at Timo's pizzeria.

  Julianne: Oh, really. At your age. You must be quite responsible.

  Luke: Uuuhhhh, thanks...

  Julianne: And what about you?

  She looked at Rose, causing her to flinch.

  Rose: I.... well.... I....

  Julianne: Come on now.

  Rose: I... I really like... puppies.

  Julianne: Oh, me too. They're so cute with their beady eyes and their goofy personalities, aren't they?

  Rose: Y... yeah...

  Julianne: And how about you, Ken?

  Ken: I like video games.

  Julianne: Really, what kind.

  Ken: The kind where you shoot stuff.

  Julianne: Oh. You know, my son just can't get enough of this one game. What's it called? Warring Dimensia 2?

  Ken: Y... yes. We talked about that at school.

  Julianne: Oh, and I suppose he challenged you.

  Ken: Well....

  Julianne giggled to herself.

  Julianne: Oh, my son. He's always been like that. Challenging people with that nerve of his. I suppose some of that comes from his father.

  She sighed as she reminisced while the others watched her.

  Rose: I... I'm sorry for...

  Julianne: It's quite alright. Why don't we move on to you, Tiffany?

  Tiffany looked at her with a combination of fear, guilt, and failure. Out of the four of them, she was the most bothered.

  Tiffany: I... I...

  She desperately searched her mind for something that was both true and not too revealing.

  Tiffany: I play Mahjong every once in a while. I like it. It relaxes me.

  Julianne: OOOOOOhhhhhh. So exotic. You know, once while I was in China, I played Mahjong with a couple that just so happened to be working there. They were so nice and very, very good at the game. I'm sure you would have loved to meet them.

  Tiffany: Oh... yeah. Maybe....
