The alarm on my phone began to buzz.  5am.  Time to get up.  The library was dark besides a soft green glow.  Probably a bed tank.  Then I could hear small little crashes of water and a cute almost beluga noise? Maybe that's him snoring?  That's a question ill have to ask him later.  Ill let him get his sleep.  I need to shower.  I grabed my shower bag put on a robe and slippers and walked out the library carefully not to wake Abe, who was peacefully floating at the bottom of his tank.  I hopped in the elevator and went to the 2nd floor.  Agent Myers told me the female showers were on floor 2 separate from the mens.  The halls were empty.  Everyone must still be sleeping.  I walked down the gray cold hallway to get to the womans shower. There was no one in here as well.  So I found myself a separate shower and turned on the hot water.  My shower was relaxing but brief.  The longer I spent under the hot water the more I wanted to go back to bed.  I dried my hair a bit with my towel.  Wraping it around my body.  I slipped my slippers back on and put my robe on over the towel.  It was only 530 and the halls were still empty.  Its a straight shot to the elevator so i rushed back into the elevator with my things in hand.  But exactly what i didn't want to happen did.  The elevator stopped on the first floor and the doors opened up.  And in stepped  a large fierce looking red man with filed down horns.
He steped in with no shame and hit the button for the 5th floor.
"Eh. Morning"
I was clearly taken back because he wamted to converse on the elevator while I was only in my robe
"Uh. Um...."
"What floor you going to?"
"Um...2LB"
"Library?  In just a robe? Man the angents we have around here are some real freaks.  You goin' to read some of that 50 shades stuff?"
"As if! I live down there."
"Wait what?  You're the brat they got to stay in pops place....a pip squeak like you."
His tone scared me a bit.  I wasn't sure if he was mocking me to mock me or mock me so he didn't get mad and hurt me.
"Wait are you the one they call Red?"
"Only friends can call me that.  Angent whatever you're name is i dont really care."
The elevator dings. 
"Is the blue guy up?"
"When i left he was sleeping why?"
"Good then he won't hear me.  You mess with him in anyway you're done." He closed the elevator doors and he binged away.  I opened the doors to the library and some classical music was playing and there were splashing sounds coming from Abes tank.

The doors opened and i could hear (y/n) walk in.  Her foot steps are different than Red's Meyer's  and Liz's.  I see her almost trying to stay out of my sight. 
"Good morning (y/n) sleep well."
"Uh yea Abe.  Did you"  she shouted. 
"Ms.(y/n) why shout you can come over and talk to-"
That's when I read that she was embarrassed she was only in a robe.
"Oh goodness.  I should of known you were coming back from the showers.  How incredibly rude of me.  Please go get dresses." I can hear her thoughts.
* I shouldn't have just ran out like that but im only wearing a robe.  I felt weird.  Im sure Abe will understand once I explain it to him.  I probably won't he'll probably hear me thinking about this.  He s probably able to hear me now.....Abe....If you hear me can you say peanut butter....* now normally I would stay quiet but this is a funny turn of event.
"Peanut butter!"
"Snoop!"
I waited to hear her again.
*Whoa....thats cool.  Well time to get dressed. *
I chuckled at how casually she blew that off expecting more of a response.  Although it Dosent surprise me.  From talking the other night she did express Science Fiction is her favorite considering it blends science and fantasy into one. She told me ever since she was young science was her favorite subject in school.  So much so that she would pursue science outside of school by taking classes at science museums and colleges for fun.
       *************

I get to my bed and plop down on it.  Myers said 9am is when everyone is generally up and starting their days.  It was only  7am i was dressed and ready for the day.  I was wearing some black leggings and a long black tank top that ended just above my shins.  And threw on a cozy dark gray knit sweater.  Agent Myers said because my job is considered a desk job i dont have to wear the agents attire, i can just wear what's most comfy for me.  But i wasn't going to dress unprofessional. I did have the feild outfit for when i get called out to field.  It looked uncomfortable. I slipped on my black pike dress shoes and walked out to the library.  The sound of Abe swimming in his tank was gone. 
"Abe you still here?"
"Ah Ms(y/n) yes i am.  Im over here."
I walked over to the library past the hall to my room amd found Abe walking around out of the tank looking at records.
"Good morning Abe.  Sorry about earlier I just wasn't...dressed "
I could feel my face heat up with embarrassment.
"Don't worry about it.  Those things happen when you live with someone i suppose."
"Yea you're right. "
The conversation between us grew non-existent. But i saw Abes hand travel past me and felt him pat my back.
"Don't worry today is going to be a good day.  Look what came when you were in the shower "
