- That way I'll get used to being carried. - Camila joked laughing. -- Seriously, Lauren, I can walk now.


- But you shouldn't overdo it. You'd better just stand up today and, well, get back on your feet tomorrow. Lauren said, internally regretting having to stop carrying Camila in her arms, in that close way.

Camila complied, being placed on the ground only when they were inside the science trailer. Lauren's eyes saw the purple lights and she frowned.

- That way you won't find anything. Why don't you put on a white light that you can see better? Lauren asked and Camila laughed.

-- We have other types of lights here that are for certain things. I won't explain in depth, but they make our job easier.

"Oh," Lauren said, watching Camila put on her goggles and white gloves. - Am I going to watch a show made by you? Lauren asked and Camila smiled.

- Want a show? -- Camila asked.

-- For sure. Lauren said pulling away a bit and Camila smiled again.

-- Pay close attention then. Camila said, mixing two liquids inside a container. Lauren's eyes sparkled as she saw bubbles of various colors rising from inside and floating in the air.

-- Amazing! Lauren expressed smiling, approaching the table. -- If I were a scientist or chemist or any of those professions I would be doing things like that all day. Lauren said excitedly, glancing at Camila.

- I love chemistry. Camila said, looking at the bubbles in the air.

- They're running out. - Lauren said as she saw the amount of bubbles decrease and then took the vials Camila had taken and threw more into the container.

- Lauren, no! Camila exasperated, but it was too late. The liquid in the container began to simmer, and soon a high-pitched squeal was heard by Lauren, for just like an erupting volcano, white foam spurted upward.

Camila had never hated gravity so much, after all, she would go up, she would go down.

And she actually came down, smearing them both with white foam. Camila closed her eyes trying to remain calm, after all the whole environment was dirty, including her and her friends' most advanced research.

- Oops? Lauren said, looking at Camila awkwardly with a regretful smile.

'I swear on everything I love the most, Lauren...' Camila said looking at her. 'That you're not leaving this place until you help me clean up.'

-- I help. Lauren said quickly, running her fingers through Camila's goggles to remove the foam. -- Better this way, isn't it?

- Look at the state we're in. Camila said, removing her goggles and looking at her own body.

- If I say you look beautiful, would it lessen your anger? Lauren asked biting her lower lip with a grimace, but she regretted it when she tasted the soap.

-- Did not you know. - Camila said. - Just don't touch anything again without my permission.

- Can I touch the ground? Lauren asked laughing. "You know, to clean up..." The death glare Camila gave her made her shut up.

This was no time for cutesy.
