"Fern? It's 4 am, why are you baking a cake? And what's up with the decorations and sweets?"
"I'm celebrating the death of my sleep schedule and sanity. Want a cookie?"
Haylee nodded sleepily and took the oatmeal cookie from Fern's hand. Any other time of the day and she would've been worried about her friends sanity. But now was not any other time of day, so she did not care.
"Fern, you good? I feel like a bad friend for actually taking a cookie but I'm hungry so.."
"Yeah I'm not. Like I said, death of my sleep schedule and sanity."
"Right," Haylee said suspicious. She continued eating her cookie while she watched Fern bake the cake.
Brianna walked in.
"What's going on? Fern why the heck are you baking a cake?" She questioned.
Without missing a beat, Haylee spoke. "Death of sleep schedule and sanity. Cookie?"
"Huh?"
Haylee shrugged and stood up, finishing the last bite of her cookie. She walked over to the fridge and pulled out the milk gallon. Brianna sat down and watched from the counter stool as Haylee poured two glasses and slid one over to her. Bri took it and grabbed a cookie from the platter.
"So how are the cookies?" Fern asked.
"Great," they said in unison.
Fern nodded and resumed watching the cake in the oven. The timer rang and he pulled it out. As he began frosting it, Princey and Tiff walked in.
"What the hecc are you doing?" Princey grumbled. "Some of us are trying to sleep here."
Haylee and Bri ignored the question and continued eating. Fern turned around with a slightly creepy smile on her face.
"We're celebrating the death of my sleep schedule and sanity. Want a cookie?"
Princey stared questioningly as Tiffany shook her head and walked back to her room.
"You all... need help." With that, Princey turned around and grabbed a small cupcake from the counter. "This is good."
Fern smiled and resumed frosting his cake.

Gema rubbed the sleep from her eyes as she walked into the kitchen. She walked in sluggishly and climbed onto the counter. Opening up the cabinet, she grabbed the Lucky Charms from the highest shelf, jumped off the counter, and grabbed a bowl from the next cabinet. The milk carton was already on the counter, and she grumbled about the fact that someone hadn't put it away. She grabbed a spoon and turned around only to scream as she found Brianna, Haylee, Fern, and Princey watching her.
"WHAT THE FUCK?!"
