"So, what is it exactly that you're making?" Logan leaned over James' shoulder, peering at what he was holding in his hands.

"Bedazzled iPhone case." James waved it at Logan, who nodded.

"Right. Why?"

"Well I can't bedazzle the phone, can I? Not in here. So I'm doing the case so I can put it on it when I get out." James said, clearly feeling as if that was a reasonable explanation. Logan nodded, grinning, then laughing when James yelped at hot glue burning his fingers.

"You good?" Kendall asked from across the table, sitting behind a massive pile of lollipop sticks.

"I burned myself!" James whined.

"You should have been more careful, then." Kendall said, demonstrating this by artfully lining one of the sticks with glue, and sticking it to another. He looked up at James and smiled mischeviously. Before he could say anything else, he was interrupted by Carlos crashing down into the seat next to him, which he had vacated a few minutes before.

"Okay, I got the decorations." He said unnecessarily, as his face was barely visible through the mounds of fluff and glitter in his arms.

"Oh my God that's perfect." Kendall immediately began sorting through it.

"So, this.." Logan began, gesturing at Kendall and Carlos' creation.

"House." Kendall informed him.

"House. Is a two person job?"

"Yep!" Carlos said, trying to remove all the things accumulating on the glue on his hands. "What about you, what are you making?"

"A diorama of the solar system!" Logan proudly spun it around to show it off. It wasn't done, but it was by far the most technically accomplished of all their projects.

"Woah." Carlos marvelled. James poked it.

"That's cool. You're putting my case to shame." James held up the now finished case, letting it sparkle in the light.

"Woah!" Carlos repeated.

"Carlos, I have extra gems, do you wanna use them?" James turned to him.

"Yes!" Carlos reached under the table and pulled out his helmet, which nobody knew how he had gotten there. He held out his hand for the gems, and instantly started sticking them on around the rim.

"Done!" Kendall happily moved all the debris away from the house, revealing it fully. It was not a remarkable creation, to say the least.

"That is so awesome." James said genuinely, hitting his fist on the table to emphasise each word.

"I know!" Kendall reached across to high five Carlos without even looking at him. However, cutting them off all too soon, a voice rose above the chatter in the room, telling them they only had five minutes left. With a copious amount of complaints, they attempted to clean up the mess they had made, and made their way back to their respective rooms.
