3 more days passed in a blink of an eye.

Orange and Purple were closed off but were responsible, Cyan and Red talk now and then, well Cyan was the one to do all the talking, Yellow and Lime became friends. Cyan, Yellow, Lime, and Red were close, they spend their free time together.

Red smiled looking at Lime and Yellow arguing about yet another thing.

"Whatcha smiling at?" Cyan sat beside him.

"Nothing.." he looked away.

"Were you smiling at Yellow or Lime?"

"Lime.. she reminds me of someone" he said.

"Your girlfriend?" Cyan smirked.

"Someone close to me" he pointed at Lime's hair. "She looks the same, behaves the same"

"Oh, you must miss her a lot" she sympathized.

"Yeah I do, every single day"

"Don't worry, this mission will be over before we know it, you can get back to her" she smiled.

"I can't"

"why not?" she raised her eyebrow.

"Cause she is dead" Red said with a straight face.He displayed no emotions, no sorrow,no pain, no anger, nothing.

"What? I--um I-- I'm sorry how--" Cyan stammered trying to find the right words to say.

"Just drop it, you're so annoying" he left.

After almost 3 hours Orange, Purple, Red, Yellow, Cyan, and Lime were gathered in the cafeteria to try out the drinks Yellow made. Purple slipped into dreamland as soon as he rested his head on the table, next to him was Orange with a file in his hand. Lime was seated between Red and Cyan at the opposite end of the table.

"Lime, help me with this" Yellow yelled from the kitchen.

"Coming!" she rolled her eyes and went on her way.

Cyan decided to apologize. "I'm sorry about what happened earlier."

"It's fine" Red assured. "losing a person who you thought you would never lose, is hard. It's not something that you move on from."

"I know," she said as she scooted closer to him. "I lost my mom when I was a kid"

"I'm sorry for your loss..." he said feeling bad for being rude to her.

"It's fine, when I think about her, all I can see are happy memories and it makes me smile."

"That's good" he smiled. It was genuine.

"Look what I made !!" Yellow walked in being hyper as usual. "I bet it tastes so good! I added some of my own style into it, to match our taste" he said as he handed out the drinks.

After almost 20 minutes they were still at the cafeteria having the drink, Yellow, Lime, Cyan, and Red were having the time of their lives, by the third round Orange spoke "Guys, I think I should stop, we all should stop and get back to work"

"c'mon don't be so uptight" Yellow said pouring another drink. Orange tried to say something but gave up considering they wouldn't listen anyway. He grabbed the file and started reading through the contents again.

"You're so boring," Lime said. Red and Cyan were engrossed in some ridiculous conversation. 20 more minutes passed and yet chaos didn't stop.

"Guys did you hear about the restaurant on the moon?" Yellow asked stopping everyone.
