During school Starr told Kat "we should train later your energy is almost full. We should go to the cave after school. Actually we might want to fix the room to its former glory."

"how about we make it better. If we build it above ground then we can build garage for Star-dancer we can have it like our house but a training room underneath. And energy stashes. What can prevent our energy from escaping?"

"granite"

"So our training room should be lined with granite. We can make the energy storage contains from granite cylinders..." Kat and Starr made plans for the new house.

After school Kat went to the cave and drew up the schematics "This is going to be expensive I will need a job." Kat said and started to walk home. On the way home Kat decided to stop by and see how the candy store was doing.

"I am just saying if she comes in let me know." Kathleen Martin was telling her manager. "just to remind you her name is Kat Jackson..."

"Mrs. Martin, what do you need?" Kat asked

"Well to pay you back for the good work you did I decided to give you 15 percent of all the earnings for this branch." Kathleen said and the manager ran into the backroom. "I have been saving them up in case you came in."

"Sorry a lot has happened recently." Kat said and the manager came back with a large box full of envelopes.

"That's okay, but as you can see the envelopes got bigger and bigger as time progressed. What is your address so in the future I can mail it to you"

Kat and Kathleen talked for a while before Kat started to head home with the box under her arms. Once Kat walked in she shouted "Mom I am home." Laura walked out.

"What's in the box?"

"About a year ago my friends and I were almost attacked by a bear. I felt guilty because I was the one who suggested we go into the woods and I had to tranquilize my friends. I trained to clear my head. It didn't work so I went to a nearby town. Long story short I met the owner of a candy store and built a branch of that store here. I did not know that the store owner was saving 15 percent of all of the profits from that branch for me. I stopped by today and happened to meet the store owner at the store."

"So you are richer than I ever was" Laura asked.

"I am?" Kat asked as she set the box on to the table. Laura and Kat started opening envelopes and counting.

"Yes I heard that the first candy store in gold valley was doing really well. What are you going to do with this money?"

"Well earlier Starr and I were making plans for a new base. By the way where is dad?"

"He's in a meeting. Can you show me your plans?"

"Sure. Starr can you bring up the hologram?" Starr detached from Kat's shoulder and pulled up the hologram. "The lowest level is under the ground. It has a training room lined with granite. In a separate room with be hollowed out cylinders for storing energy. On the level above will be a garage for our car and bikes. The level above that will be where we live. There will be several bedrooms each with their own bathrooms. One room for me, one for uncle John, one for you and dad, and like 20 for guests, friends, allies, anyone we want to keep close. The kitchen will be next to the living room. The top layer will have an opening roof we will keep Star-dancer here but it will have enough room for other ships." Kat explained.

"How did you know that granite can contain R.S.B. energy?"

"Starr told me." Kat said and the front door opened quietly. Kat sat back down and got back to counting. Mark and John saw that Kat and Laura were busy so they headed to the living room. Kat and Laura counted and then added up the total amount of money. It came to over 3 million dollars. "the candy store must be doing really well."
