After the party, the eight teens made there way up to Rhea and Talia's room for a sibling debrief (which was dominated by non-siblings). This was the VKs first time in their room and it was evident, while Elijah belly flopped onto Rhea's bed and Ben sat on Talia's while the two girls sat on their couch, the four dandered about the room.

Jay was looking at her photos, Rhea had a whole wall filled with pictures (though due to her recent friend group split and breakup there were many spaces left blank). "That's a nice photo." Jay pointed, and Rhea got up to look at it.

It was a photo taken by her mother when she was eight. Her and Talia had a playdate and Talia was chasing the older girl through the gardens in the castle. In the background, her father was being chased by Elijah and Ben, who were also having a playdate, "It's one of my favourites." She told him with a grin on her face, telling him how a couple hours after this picture was taken they were getting ice cream with Smarties on top and Ben shoved one up his nose.

Ben, who had heard the story, shouted, "Hey!" at the girl, "Don't expose me in front of my girl!" Mal laughed at this, claiming she wished Rhea had a photo of that on her wall.

"We should take a group photo for my wall!" Rhea suddenly exclaimed, and they all agreed. Rhea set her phone on her vanity and set the timer, as the group arranged themselves in a clump, Rhea hit the button and quickly moved to the group, joining Talia and giving her a hug.

"I actually have a couple actual cameras in a drawer somewhere," Rhea said, "If I can find them then feel free to use them." She searched through a couple drawers and found a disposable camera and a digital camera and explained what the differences are to the VKs. She also found her Polaroid camera Elijah had bought her for her birthday, which she had only used a handful of times. 

While Carlos and Evie played around with her pink digital camera, Rhea snapped a picture on her polaroid, showing Mal and Jay how it worked.

"Can I take one?" Jay asked her to which Rhea agreed and handed him the camera. Her and Mal posed, sticking their tongues out at him, he took the photo and handed the camera back to her. 

"I wanna buy fairy lights with little pegs to attach polaroid pics to." She told them, as she placed the photo on her drawer.

"Gather around, bitches!" Talia called out, and Rhea giggled at the girl stood on her bed, holding snacks and drinks for everyone. They all headed over and Rhea was about to plop herself on the floor when she realised she was still in her dress.

"Why didn't we change?" she asked.

"You're the royal advisor," Talia shrugged, as if that explained everything, "you didn't tell us to."

That was a good enough answer for Rhea, who sat on the floor beside her bed, just more carefully than she originally anticipated. Jay sat down beside her, wrapping his arm around her and Carlos sat beside him, with Dude on his lap. Evie and Talia sat at the edge of the latter's bed while Elijah, Ben and Mal sat on the ground beside Talia's bed.

"This is a lot more than usual!" Talia giggled at the sight, normally there was three or four teens gathered in their room, but tonight there was double that.

"So much happened today, what are we talking about first?" Elijah asked.

"Rhea's tits almost fell out in the carriage." Talia bluntly stated, as Rhea's head snapped up, a look of betrayal coating her face (while the VKs tried to not laugh and Ben and Elijah 'ewww'ed and complained that was too much information)

"Tals, what the fuck? I thought we were keeping it a secret!"

"Rhea, I'm going to hold your hand when I say this" she tried to reach across and hold her hand, but they were slightly too far from one another for it too be successful, "Jay, hold Rhea's hand for me." The boy happily gave his hand for the girl to hold, smirking at her and sending her a flirty wink (that he internally hoped Elijah didn't notice), "There were, like, a bazillion cameras there today- there was not a chance that was staying between us."
