Luan woke up facing the light pink wall. She stretched and yawned, fully gaining consciousness. She sat up and looked out the window; it was a faint purple and pink from the rising sun, the kind of sunrise you could normally only find in paintings.

Luan rubbed her eyes and walked into the hallway. She would put on her clothes later, she was going to get ahead of the line and use the bathroom early. After using the bathroom, Luan walked back into her room to get changed.

Luna was still sleeping. After changing, Luan walked over to the light switch and started to flick it up and down.

"Dude, what the heck?" Luna asked in an annoyed yet sleepy voice.

"Rise and shine, sleepy," Luan chuckled as she left the room.

Walking downstairs, Luan saw that Lincoln and Lisa were already eating. Lincoln had a bowl of Zombie Bran with a cup of milk, while Lisa was eating fried eggs. She watched the two in the corner of her eye, trying her utmost to make sure they didn't know she was watching them.

These two were the only ones to know that something wasn't as it shouldn't be yesterday. Lincoln had sensed that Luan had been acting strangely and Lisa had unknowingly detected the gun she had got.

Grabbing a plate of buttered toast, Luan sat down next to them.

"Good morning Luan," Lincoln said

"Good morning Lincoln," Luan replied in her usual, cheerful tone.

Lincoln kept eating his cereal, not looking up. No quizzical looks or any questions. He seemed to have forgotten how she had been acting yesterday. "Perfect," Luan thought to herself. That was one less thing to worry about.

Now checking on Lisa, Luan asked, "Hey Lisa, have you solved that problem with your metal detector?"

"Metallic Mass Detector," Lisa corrected. "And no, I haven't. I keep calibrating and fine tuning, but I keep getting the same result."

Lisa paused, eating another egg with one hand while readjusting her glasses with the other.

"I'm now beginning to think the new metal detected was just somehow overlooked when the first list was made."

Luan relaxed, slouching a bit in her chair. Both of their suspicions had been laid to rest. Luan started to eat her toast with more enthusiasm than before. Finishing her breakfast, Luan disposed of the plates in the dishwasher and went to brush her teeth. She turned the corner and found Lucy standing there.

"Ahh!" Luan yelled, stumbling against the wall. Lucy stood there, with a small smirk on her face from the outburst.

Straightening herself up, Luan said, "One of these days we're going to put a bell on you."

"And good morning to you too." Lucy said in her flat monotone voice.

They both just stood there, Lucy standing in the middle of the hallway, blocking Luan.

"Are, um, you going to eat breakfast?" asked Luan, breaking the silence.

"Soon, but I wanted to talk to you."

"And that is?"

"I was communing with the spirits yesterday. They kept giving cryptic remarks about you in a negative way, so I was wondering if you could have done something to upset them. Could it have something to do with that noise that came from your room?"
