Théa's house was very impressive. Despite Camie already seeing it in her visions, she still was left flabbergasted in front of the real thing. It was a very modern and big house that was always perfectly clean. Apart from being impressive, it looked rather lonely. Both of Théa's parents had very successful careers and they spent a lot of time abroad. When they came home they were spending quality time together and they were a very warm and loving family.

In the visions, Théa rarely looked sad in this big house. She mostly preferred it actually. This way her parents didn't notice her secret identity and she did have a lot of work keeping her occupied.

"Do you like it?"

Camie suddenly woke up, having not realized how long she had spaced out:

"Yes! Yes. It's very nice."

Théa smiled:

"I am glad you like it. You are always welcome here. I would love to have you over."

Just as she said that, Théa turned around and went up to Camie's friends to take their coats:

"Please make yourselves at home. My parents aren't here so we have the house for ourselves."

Emma looked around the house with a frown:

"When are your parents? So we don't stay too long.

-You can stay as long as you want. My father is at a conference and my mother is on a business trip. They won't be back for a few more days."

Emma slowly nodded:

"That's cool."

Nylora was already in front of a huge painting:

"This is gorgeous! It looks very expensive."

Théa glanced at Camie for some reason:

"A bit."

Hearing Topiary clear her throat made Nylora add:

"I mean, I'm not judging or anything, it just looks very pretty.

-Don't worry. I understood."

Théa gave a little tour of her house to the girls. Camie already knew the place by heart while the others seemed clearly impressed by how many rooms Théa had.

"You could put your bags here and get changed if you want. The bathroom is at the end of the corridor and there's another one downstairs. While you are getting ready I will go get some food.

-I'll help you."

Camie followed Théa to the kitchen and she stopped there. She really wanted to help but she didn't dare look through her cupboards. Because of the visions she knew where things were but she still felt uncomfortable looking through someone's things. Therefore she just waited for Théa to take out the sweets and grabbed them before carrying them back to the living room. She then helped Théa bring blankets and turn on the TV. Lastly, they walked back to the kitchen and started baking some pizzas.

"Which one would you like to eat? asked Théa."

Camie looked at the pizzas for a bit:

"I really like the four cheese one.

-And a second one?"

Camie looked up at Théa:

"Which one would you like?"

Théa shrugged:

"I like all of them."

Camie thought back to her visions and remembered that Théa really liked eating chicken pizza.

"Then we could have the chicken one."

Théa smiled before putting both pizzas into the oven. While watching two of them cook, Théa turned to Camie:

"Thank you for helping me."

Camie shrugged:

"That's just normal.

-I am still touched by what you did."

Camie couldn't help blushing. She loved being useful to Théa. She should do this way more.

"What else needs to be done?

-You are very cute when you are this excited but I think we are all done. Oh, right."

Théa rushed to her fridge and opened it before taking out five boxes of ice cream:

"You said that you were craving ice cream lately. I'm sorry I didn't know which one you would like, therefore I got multiple ones. I hope you don't feel pressured at all. I just knew that you were coming and wanted to buy a few things to eat. I wouldn't be a good hostess if I didn't feed you."

Camie looked at the ice creams with shining eyes. No one had ever bought so much for her after hearing her say something without thinking. She thought she would feel uncomfortable but she just felt very touched. She started getting used to swapping things with Théa and she just thought that she would buy her a gift later on.

"If it makes you uncomfortable we could put it back in the fridge. I will eat it anyway. It won't go to waste.

-No! I... Thank you. I really like cookie ice cream."

Théa started beaming. She rushed to get a spoon and immediately opened the tub.

"Please, eat as much as you want."

By then the others joined Camie and Théa and seeing them in their pajamas, Théa said:

"I should get changed too. I will be back in a second.

-I'll change too."

Camie followed Théa back to her room without thinking and started looking through her bag for her pajamas. She didn't bring the one with Black Gold's face on it and Théa immediately picked up on it:

"Didn't you bring your new pajamas?"

Camie jumped and turned around so quickly that she almost fell:

"What?"

She started blushing even more when she realized that Théa had started changing already. She couldn't help looking down at her body and as soon as she realized, she immediately looked back up. Her eyes met Théa's and she was sure that she saw her staring. She turned back just as quickly and stood there for a few seconds.

"Camie? I'm sorry. I should have asked first. Do you mind me changing here? I could go to the bathroom.

-No!"

Camie quickly calmed her voice down. Why would she mind?

"No, it's your room. It's just a body. We are both bodies."

Camie thought she would die. They were both bodies? What did that even mean? Hearing Théa laugh behind her didn't help and Camie decided to get changed as well. She changed in a record time but she didn't dare turn around immediately. Why was she being all weird? Camie didn't care about Théa's body. Having decided that, she finally turned back. Unfortunately Théa was already changed and she was tying her hair up. Feeling Camie's gaze on her, Théa looked at her:

"Do you only have one Black Gold pajama?

-So you did see it!"

Camie immediately hid her face in her hands.

"My father bought it for me. You shouldn't have seen that."

Camie heard Théa walk closer to her and she flinched.
