Stellar looks around the hotel, meaning to find Lila and walks past the room the bachelor party is in. She hesitates, then takes a peek. She sees Luther on a makeshift stage, singing his heart out with passion. She stifles a laugh as she watches for a few seconds. Then she furrows her brows and looks up, seeing Ben standing on the balcony. Confused, she makes her way around to him and joins him looking over the railing.

"You good?" She asks.

"Fine." Ben answers.

"Sure." Stellar answers.

"I am!" Ben insists.

"So...go karaoke?" Stellar suggests.

"Can't." Ben answers flatly.

"You know, a conversation where one person only speaks one word at a time is not considered a conversation." Stellar points out.

Ben sighs and glares at her, and Stellar raises her hands in apology.

"So what's up? Actually." Stellar quips again.

"Nothing." Ben dismisses with a glare. Stellar sighs.

"Okay." She says hesitantly and walks away.

"Hey." Stellar greets, walking into the room where Lila is. "Where the hell did you get that?" 

She gestures to the dress on the bed.

"Raided the closets." Lila answers with a cheeky grin. Stellar laughs.

"So, what are you wearing?" Lila asks.

"Not sure. I'll have to sew it. Tailor is gone, but the stuff isn't." Stellar answers nonchalantly.

"The wedding's in like, five hours." Lila laments. "Is it gonna be done?"

Stellar shrugs. Lila sighs and wraps her arm around her sister's shoulder.

"So, the world's ending, huh?" Lila says, looking out the window at the glowing orange orb.

"Yeah." Stellar sighs. Lila's arm tightens.

"So...look. Don't ever expect anything this sappy ever to come out of my mouth again." Lila warns. Stellar chuckles.

"But...I'm glad you're my sister." Lila finishes. The two sisters look at each other for a second, then both burst out laughing. Lila fake gags and Stellar gives her a weird, wide eyed expression.

"Me too."

After talking some more, the sisters separate to prepare for the wedding.

"You better wear your hair down!" Lila warns. Stellar shrugs.

"We'll see." She teases, and Lila pouts. Then, Stellar frowns.

"Hey, Lila?" She asks. Lila turns and looks at her. Stellar hesitates, then gestures to her own stomach with a questioning expression. Lila's eyes widen.

"Did Diego tell you? Because if he did I swear I'm gonna-" Lila starts.

"No, he didn't tell me." Stellar interrupts. "But, you know....futures. Also, you'd think I know my sister well enough to know when she's acting different."
