(Johnston's POV)

I opened the door and looked inside and the room was dark. So being the genius I am I decided to walk in and close the door. That's when...

"SURPRISE!"

"AAAAAAHHHH!"

The lights suddenly turned on and a banner dropped from the ceiling. In addition to that, multiple balloons also dropped and someone was using a party horn... safe to say I was scared shitless.

"Welcome back Johnston!" My sisters said as they popped out from different hiding places in the dorm space.

"I-I whaaaaa..." I was speechless

"Guys, I think we broke her." My older sister Jenkins said as she looked at me rather worriedly.

"No no! I-I'm fine... I'm just... I'm just overwhelmed." I said. Honestly I don't know what to say, but I guess I gotta say something...

"I told you guys that this would be too much!" Mullany scolded the rest of my siblings.

"N-no wait guys I-" Man why is this so hard... heh... My sisters really do love me...

"Guys I'm grateful, truly. I guess I'm just tired after today." Oh please be ok with that response.

"Oh ok, I guess you had a long day." Mullany relented. Fewf! Crisis averted.

"Well... we made a bunch of food for you... so why don't we get something for you to eat!" Fletcher said as she beckoned me in. I did not realize I was still at the door.

"O-oh, yeah... I should probably come in..." I said as I closed the door behind me.

"Come on, come on!" My sisters said in unison as they dragged me to the kitchen, where I was created by an assortment of snacks and drinks.

"Guys seriously I'm not hungry... you didn't have to do this..." I said. I guess I didn't notice the small blush on my face, since one of my sisters pointed it out.

"Hehe! You're blushing, that means you're lying!" Jenkins said as she poked my face.

"No I'm n-" I was then cut off by the one thing I didn't want to hear...

GRRRRROOOOOWWWWLLLLL

...The sound of an empty stomach...

"Eh... hehe..." I did a small laugh as I rubbed the back of my head with one of my hands.

"Ok so maybe I am a little hungry..." I said although shyly.

"Well then let's dig in!" Thatcher said as we all went over and got something to eat.

"Ahhhh. That was good." I sighed as I happily slumped back in my chair.

"Mhumph." Aulick said as she too slumped into her chair.

"Wait a minute." I said while sitting up. How did I miss this?

"How did you guys know that I was back? Furthermore, how did you know that this..." I gestured to myself. "...Is what I look like?" Yeah how the hell did you know? I literally showed up out of the blue looking completely different!

The answer I was given was not one I was prepared for but I should have expected it.

"Enterprise told us." My sisters all said in unison.

"That wasn't creepy at all... But... if felt like she kinda wanted to keep it a secret for a while." I added.

"Well she told us yesterday. Probably not long after you got back." Fletcher said, only adding to my confusion.
