On their final day before lift off, it seemed like their instructors were going to let them rest. They were asked to skip morning training and instructed to rest up. They were also told to only leave the dorm building to get their meals. Raven and Roseanne didn't need to be told twice. Raven wasn't much of a social person anyway and preferred to stay in his room and only talk to Roseanne. His female room mate was much more social than he was and felt like a prisoner cooped up in their dorm room all day. As much as she liked him and enjoyed his company, she also yearned for that human connection with her other crew mates. The ones she actually liked anyway. She left her room for a moment to see how Indy and Honey were doing when she saw there was something happening over by their lounge room area. The room was closed off by yellow tape, but there were cleaning staff people coming and going from there. She didn't give it too much importance, since she thought it was their last day in those dorms and the admins were probably already looking to get that space ready for their next set of bright young cadets.

She instead walked right up to the door labeled Blue and Brown, and gave a light knock. Indy was the one to answer the door and a bright smile formed on his lips when he looked down to lock eyes with his co-captain. He was always like an excited puppy, Roseanne noted to herself as she regarded him. At twenty years old, he towered almost a head above her, but he certainly acted his age. Sometimes though, it was easy for her and the others to forget that the other kids like Indy, Honey, Cedar, and Ivory were all the youngest in the group. Now they also had Olive and Sage. Half of their team was either twenty years old or younger. Roseanne couldn't help but worry about the accuracy of their mission would be, with a team that young.

"Rosieeeeeeeee." He dragged out her name with a grin as he seemed to do every time he saw her. He extended his hand out to do a light hand slap and a fist bump with her. That was how he greeted her every single morning. She had her little way of greeting each of the members. With Honey, they ran into each others arms and acted as though they hadn't seen each other in weeks. With Raven, it was always a shy little hello like they weren't room mates who saw each other almost every moment of the day. With Ciel, they kind of just nodded towards each other with a smile. Back when she had a crush on him and she was sure he knew, he always made it a point to walk up to her and say. Roseanne in the mix, to which she always responded to by blushing madly.

"Raven says he just wants to stay in tonight. But I honestly think that's boring on our very last day in the garden. I think I'm gonna get everyone together and watch a movie. Wanna join?" She asked him with a smile. Looking past him into the room, she thought they could at least let bygones be bygones for the night. Even if he hate Raven and Raven wasn't exactly fond of him either. She decided to invite Cedar as well. "You and Ivory should come too."

Her words took him by surpise, but he didn't really have a problem with Roseanne. He even thought she was nice. It was Raven who he had a problem with. He just also knew that Ivory didn't like Roseanne and the feeling was mutual. He wasn't sure if so many people disliking each other in the same room was going to be such a good idea. He still nodded and offered her a polite smile. He would st least consider it and bring the matter up to Ivory. But still, he always did as she wanted and if she didn't want to be there, he wouldn't go.

She then left them to invite the others on the team for the movie, even the two new girls. Just as she was getting everything together, she was about to take everything into the lounge to set up when she saw exactly what was going on there. They weren't clearing things out for their departure. They were setting up to have a sending off celebration for the team. As she opened the door to the lounge, one of the admins frowned. "We told you guys to stay in your rooms until further notice. This was supposed to be a surpise." She said to the girl with pink hair who was walking in with a box of snacks and the movie they were going to watch that afternoon.
