Summary:
 Late nights seem to be the only good time that the two can talk and interact without interruptions. But on this particular night, while everyone was fast asleep like always. Anna was nowhere to be found in the bunker. Of course, she would never leave during the night without someone or leave at all, but she was unfindable in the bunker.

February 24, 2046
I had forgotten about the little alcove in the library
Where is she? She couldn't had left the bunker. Maybe the library?

----- ++ -----

It was midnight once again. And it seemed like the regular bedtime for the two was always past midnight but before two or three in the morning.

Everyone in the bunker was fast asleep after the busy day of figuring out a new schedule for the bunker filled with people and children. But of course, our two night owls were still awake and up, one missing, and the other searching for them.

'She wasn't in the room, the infirmary, or the library... Where else could she be?' Ray thought, walking around the empty and quiet bunker that wasn't at all this quiet during the day.

Ray had been walking around for half an hour searching for Anna. She wasn't in the bedroom sleeping with everyone else, in the infirmary taking care or making sure that the three in there was okay, and in the library like usual reading medical books. She seemed to be nowhere in the bunker.

"She couldn't've left the bunker right? Its too dangerous to go out there, plus its late." Ray mumbled, walking to back into the room to see if anything was missing before walking towards the entrance. Nothing at all signaled that someone had left the hidden underground bunker.

Ray sighed, he didn't know where she could've been, so he returned back to the library. Ray sat down at the table that he and her always sat at and started reading. Minutes went by before he got up and put the book away. Looking around for a new book to read. Ray walked around, farther into the back of the library then usual when he spot light illuminating a part of the library.

"So this is where you went, huh?" Ray asked, finding the light illuminating a hidden part of the library, Anna sitting in a small alcove with a book.

"Oh yeah. Sorry if I worried you." Anna giggled. Ray sighed before joining her in the alcove reading. The two of them sat in the alcove reading, Ray did find a book before finding Anna and sitting with her.

----- ++ -----

A hour passed when light snoring interrupted Ray from his reading. Ray peaked from the top of his book to see Anna sleeping with her book resting on top of her chest. Ray smiled a little bit before moving the book away from her, grabbing the bookmark next to her and placing it inside the book, and put the book next to her.

Afterwards, Ray got up from the little alcove and grabbed the blanket that was still in the library from the previous night that Yuugo and placed it on them. Pulling it over Anna as she continue sleeping. Ray repositioned himself in the alcove to sit next to Anna, her head falling onto his shoulder after he lightly knocked into her while sitting.

A light blush appeared on Ray, quickly disappearing as he started refocusing on his book. But he quickly got unfocused again as Anna mumbled something, quiet but he could hear.

"I think I like you..."

Reading was now the last and farthest thing that he could focus on now.

"These two are going to be the death of me!! Where did they run off to now!?" Gilda exclaimed, looking at the two beds that were empty and hadn't been touched. The younger children in the background playing around while helping and laughing at Gilda.

"They're probably in the library again." Thoma said. "Like always." Thoma and Lannion added in sync.

Gilda sighed, quickly cleaning up like always before leaving, walking towards the library to find the two. Also drawing the attention of the others awake in the bunker.

"Huh? They're not in here..." Gilda surprisingly announced, briefly looking around the library for the two but not finding them. Causing a search throughout the bunker for the two.

Ten minutes passed by before Yuugo and Lucas woke up and came out to see what the commotion in the bunker was.

"What do you mean they're both missing?" Lucas asked confused.

"We don't know where they are. Gilda said they're usually in the library at the same table both asleep but they weren't there today." Oliver briefly explained once again.

"We've checked everywhere but Ray and Anna aren't found!" Little Jimena exclaimed, sadly wondering where the two that she looked up to were.

Lucas and Yuugo thought about it for a second, wondering where in the bunker they could be before they both lit up.

"The library alcove!" The two of them said in union. Making the children in front of them confused as to what it was.

----- ++ -----

Mostly all of them had followed Lucas and Yuugo into the library, through the bookshelves, and into the small hidden area where a alcove was. With two of the Grace Field children sleeping. They all watched them for a little bit before the younger kids ran to wake the two of them up, Lucas and Yuugo standing back.

"So, how did you two know about this place?" Zack asked standing next to the two male adults.

"Well, we were the first ones here, thirteen years ago." Lucas told Zack. Zack nodding and walking off. "Those two, I told you they reminded me of some certain people." Lucas finally stated, after Zack had walked off.

Yuugo rolled his eyes, Lucas smiled at the two younger children in front of them that was finally waking up, their family around them laughing at them.

"Shut up." Yuugo told Lucas, walking off with Lucas laughing and smiling behind him.

----- ++ -----

The day continue going on after the disappearance and finding of Ray and Anna. Everything seemed to be going normal, for as much as it could be, but everyone could see the difference in the interactions between the two library sleepers.

Seeing the difference between the two, Don and Nat took it upon themselves to ask Ray personally about it.

"So Ray~" Nat dragged. Ray looked at the two that were younger then him irritated and already annoyed, he knew what tone of voice that Nat was using. "What happened last night? You two seem to be more distant, and you seem to be a little more flustered." Nat continued.

Ray stared at them, a little embarrassed remembering what Anna had mumbled during the night in her sleep.

"Shut up."
