That night she slept better than she had in awhile. Which was surprising given that her parents were going who knows where and weren’t going to be back until who knows when. By the time she did wake up sunlight was pouring out of the cracks in between her curtains. She sighed and reluctantly got out of bed, throwing the curtains open to let the light flood her room. 
"Keefe give him back!" She heard Fitz yell from downstairs as she was walking to her closet.
"NEVER! YOU DEPRIVED ME OF HIM BEFORE! I SHALL NEVER BE SEPARATED FROM HIM AGAIN! NEVER!" Keefe yelled back. She quickly threw on some clothes and ran a comb through her hair, trying to get her bed head somewhat under control. As soon as she looked somewhat decent she briskly made her way downstairs. Fitz and Keefe were nowhere to be seen, but Biana was standing in the center of the living room, facepalming. 
"Do I want to know?" Sophie asked, trying not to laugh at the muffled argument in the background she could only assume to be the boys again.
"Well, Keefe found Mr. Snuggles again and stole him so Fitz is trying to get him back and-"She was interrupted by Keefe running into the room holding Fitz’s stuffed dragon like a trophy.
"THE SNUGGLE DRAGON-Oh hey Foster-IS MINE AND SHALL REMAIN MINE!!!!!" He screamed and made his way out the door, never stopping or slowing down.
"KEEFE I SWEAR IF YOU DON'T GIVE HIM BACK- Hi Sophie- I'M GOING TO STEAL MRS.STINK BOTTOM!" Fitz responded while following Keefe’s path. Sophie heard a loud gasp come from outside followed by Keefe’s voice.
"YOU WOULDN’T"
    "TRY ME!" Fitz ran back inside and rummaged through one of the bags that were up against the wall. "Yes!" He exclaimed and held up Keefe’s stuffed Gulon victoriously. 
"Those two…" Biana mumbled when her brother had darted back outside, surely to continue fighting with Keefe. Sophie chuckled back and grabbed the bag she only assumed to be Biana’s, considering it was the only one with sparkles, and led her upstairs. Given the fact that Sophie’s room took up the entire 3rd floor, they decided that it would be best to have the girls sleep in her room. Space wouldn’t be an issue. The boys were to have some room Sophie didn’t even know existed until Grady and Edaline had showed it to her. By the time Sophie and Biana came back downstairs Fitz and Keefe were sitting on opposite ends of the couch, clutching their stuffed animals protectively. Sophie mentally scowled at Fitz when she noticed how ragged his breathing was, she had told him to rest. Chasing Keefe around all of Havenfield was far from rest. Keefe seemed to notice Fitz's struggle too and looked at her with a confused expression, she shot him an I'll tell you later look and he subtly nodded. Dex was there by then, he was just sitting in an armchair off to the side trying to make sense of what they heck was going on. When he saw Sophie he smiled and walked over to hug his cousin.
"By the way, what’s up with them? They’ve been like that since I got here." He asked after they pulled away, looking at Keefe and Fitz with a confused expression again.
"Long story." Sophie chuckled back. 
"Hey, you two. Are you done fighting?" Biana asked, her tone unplaceable. Keefe answered by sticking his tongue out at Fitz then standing and grabbing his bag. Fitz rolled his eyes took his bag, then moving to stand next to Sophie. Dex did the same that the other boys did and Sophie led them to the room they’d be staying in. It was a rather grand room, with white walls and back accents, a few couches and armchair laid out across the room. They each claimed a spot and the girls left them alone to sort their stuff out, also so that they could go set up the extra beds in Sophie’s room. 
After they were situated, they met back in the living room to wait for Wylie and Linh. The boys were already waiting on the couches and armchairs, no stuffed animals in sight. Sophie sat next to Fitz, who was on the end of the couch, and he smiled. Fitz wrapped an arm around her and she laid her head on his shoulder. 
"Hi." He said, and it made her stupid heart flutter.
"Hi." She responded with a dopey grin. "Feeling better?"
"Yeah, much. Biana held true to her word and made me do basically nothing for the rest of the day yesterday."
"Good." She smirked, imagining Biana forcing Fitz to stay in bed. "But you’re not out of the woods yet. You still need rest. And ‘rest’ does not include chasing Keefe all over the property." He rolled his eyes and smirked, causing her to giggle. When she laughed he gently pulled her closer, and her cheeks turned tomato red. 
"Hey, Sophitz!" Keefe called, snapping Sophie out of her thoughts. "Can you quit flirting? At least around us single pringles?"
