Lennon Dunbar was tired. After staying up with Malia all through the night, she couldn't believe that it she even slept. Unsurprisingly, Liam didn't hear them; he was out like a light as soon as they got back to the house. Carol and Geyer were gone for the weekend, thankfully. Both decided to take some time to go out for a little "us" time. Lennon thought it was stupid - the children were almost never home so they had time together all the time. She supposed that Carol hadn't been a mother for a while and now that she was trying again it whipped her out.

The Dunbar girl thought it was stupid.

Everything seemed to be getting on her nerves lately. Excluding her little companions that seemed to be following her everywhere she went. At the moment, Lennon was sitting in her living room was a bowl of popcorn watching Netflix. She had left her phone off in her room, tempted to throw it in the toilet to make sure that she couldn't get in contact with the McCall pack. Aiden was sitting on one side of Lennon with Allison on the other side. Aiden was sneaking bites of popcorn from the bowl in Lennon's lap, begging her to buy some pizza.

"Lenny, it's a good buy," he urged while taking another bite of the buttery goodness. "I'm feeling the hunger of death, and while this popcorn is good, I need an extra kick."

Allison rolled her eyes while reaching into the bowl and throwing popcorn at her companion. "Honestly, Aiden, how are you hungry? We stopped at that diner before we came here."

"You eat when your dead?" Lennon asked, unsurprised. Her eyebrow was raised as she watched the little girl from Home scream at the Boov that jumped in the water. Sinking even lower into the couch, Lennon held in her tears as she watched the girl worry for the small alien who had disappeared for hours. "That's so sad."

Wrapping an arm around the girl, Aiden allowed Lennon to sniffle into the blanket that she had atop of her sweatpants and sweatshirt. He also rolled his eyes at her stupid question, "Lenny, we have to eat to keep up with your craziness."

"You're stupid," she mumbled while watching the movie. Allison snorted while taking a sip of her water. Lennon shivered as she drew her blanket closer, even with all of her clothes she was freezing. Allison and Aiden exchanged worried glances as they watched the girl. Allison stood and got her another blanket, hoping it would help some.

Lennon grew comfortable within the grasp of Aiden and her slowly climbing temperature. The music within the children's movie soothed her into a deep sleep that she was hoping for.

It was warm.

The water was clear and burned her eyes. It was chlorine, that much she knew. Lennon looked down and saw herself in clothes, not her own, but clothes nonetheless. At first she wasn't sure what was going on, but she recognized that it was water. She was underwater. Water never made the girl scared, never once. She was wondering why she was terrified as the water splashed around her.
