Honey woke early the next morning, somehow already back at the academy, last night's horrors slipping from her mind as she walked in on Klaus, moaning in a scared state on the sofa. "Klaus!" She called, shaking him, which seemed to wake him up as he shot up, not even annoyed that she was seeing him in his weak moment. "Hey, squirt, what's up?" He said, trying to pull off the cool demeanor that Five had mastered. "What's wrong? You were calling out in your sleep." She wondered, her eyebrows knitted together as though she was trying to understand. Klaus only gave her a smile and poked her nose, making her giggle and un-knit her eyebrows. "Don't worry kiddo. Adult problems." He said before hissing at someone in an arm chair.

Honey turned around, but there was no-one there, so she assumed it was a ghost. "Is there a ghost there Klaus?" She asked him as he stood up. "Yeah, it's Ben." He muttered absentmindedly. Honey's eyes lit up and she ran over to Klaus in excitement. "Really? You can see Ben?" She asked, and he nodded as he looked in his jacket. "Cool! I'm gonna go tell Five!" She said, teleporting off to find him. She ended up teleporting right next to him, making him jump in the elevator that he was in. "Now I know how they feel," He muttered before looking down at her, "What are you doing here Honey?" He asked, and Honey just grinned back at him.

"Klaus can see Ben!" She said, almost jumping up with glee, making him smile at her excitement. He ruffled her hair, noticing for the first time that she too wore a school uniform like his. "Hey, why don't you stay with me, help me seem more genuine to this man I'm about to see, okay?" He offered, and she nodded with a smile, happy to help someone that didn't treat her as though she was a little kid. They stepped out of the elevator, Honey holding his hand and Five's other hand clutching the eyeball tightly. They asked the receptionist to see some man, and she called him in before telling them that he would be here soon.

They waited patiently in the lobby, Honey admiring the view from behind the receptionist and Five glaring at everyone, some people giving him nasty looks back. "Uh, can I help you?" A man's voice asked, and they both turned around to see the a doctor standing there with a polite but confused smile. "We need to know who this belongs to." Five said, walking over to the man with Honey reluctantly looking away from the window to give the man an innocent smile when he looked at her. "Where did you get that?" The man asked after Five held it up.

"Why do you care?" Five asked, looking him in the eye, but Honey looked up at the man sweetly. "I found it on the playground, on the floor. Must have just popped out," She said, Five making a clicking noise with his mouth to indicate it popping, "And we want to return it to it's rightful owner." She gave him another smile at the end and the receptionist smiled over at them, "Ah, what thoughtful kids." Five smiled over at her whilst Honey continued to look at the man who looked down at it. "Yeah, look up the name for me, will ya?" Five asked, but the doctor stepped in, the receptionist looking slightly taken aback.

"I'm sorry, but patient records are strictly confidential, which means that I can't tell-" Honey cut the man off, resisting the urge to roll her eyes, "We know what that means." The man raised an eyebrow at her before looking back at Five. "But, I'll tell you what I can do. I will take the eye off your hands and return it to the owner. I'm sure he or she will be very grateful, so if I can just-" He reached for the eyes, but Five pulled his hand back so he couldn't reach it. "Yeah, you're not touching this eye." Five said, not noticing Honey pulling at his hand, warning him against his actions. The man, upon looking affronted, began to lecture, "Now you listen here young man-"

The man was cut off again as Five grabbed his lapels, his hand slipping out of Honey's, who sighed and looked to the floor. "No! You listen to me, asshole. I've come a long way for this, through some shit your pea brain couldn't even comprehend, so just give me the information I need and I'll be on my merry way. And if you call me 'young man' one more time, I'm gonna put your head through that damn wall." There was silence for a second before the receptionist sighed, "Oh dear." The doctor looked at her for a second before choking out, "Call security." The receptionist's hand was already on the phone, dialing the numbers, "Yeah." She simply spoke, looking over at Honey, who didn't even seem shocked at her brother's actions.
