Scarlett ate Claudia's waffles in silence, the blonde wasn't stupid, she knew that Dustin had snuck out the previous night. The boy had been stupid enough to trip on his way to his room, alerting the teenager, who was in the process of climbing through her own window. Sure she was a little hypocrite, but she was seventeen and Dustin was just twelve.
"Did you sleep well?" Claudia asked her two children, Scarlett nodded, she had hardly slept through the night, but Claudia shouldn't have to worry "Yeah, I dreamt that I was in space. It was so cool. I was an astronaut and I was on the moon." Dustin smiled excitedly, showing off his toothless smile and Claudia gushed as she continued to talk to her youngest about his dream, and even though Scarlett was mad that Dustin had snuck out, she couldn't help a faint smile.
"So I'll pick up Blade Runner for us to watch tomorrow." Claudia called out as the two kids walked out of the house "Okay mom." "Bye mom." After the two had fit Dustin's bike in the car's trunk, the brunette pulled out of the driveway "So, you going to tell me you snuck out, or are you gonna deny it?" She asked while rolling down the window so she could smoke while driving.
Dustin's eyes widened as he looked at her "Chill, I'm not going to tell mom." She turned on her blinker as she turned left "I just wanted to find Will." Dustin mumbled and Scarlett looked at him sideways "So I assume that Lucas and Mike also went with you?" Dustin shook his head, ready to keep his friends out of trouble "No, I went alone." Scarlett made a 'hmmm' sound, she knew better than that "I get that you want to find your friend. God knows what I'd do if Blake went missing. But I can't have you sneaking out alone." She exaggerated the word 'alone' and Dustin's face lit up and he grinned at her in his typical Dustin way, which made his eyes hide behind his cheeks "You are the best big sister."
"After school, can you come to Mike's house?" Dustin asked suddenly and Scarlett raised an eyebrow "Why?" Dustin hesitated before he answered "I have to show you something."

"So what's the capital of Canada?" Blake asked as she peered in a textbook "Ottawa?" Scarlett asked, hoping she was right "See you're good." Blake groaned before handing the textbook back to Scar "No I'm not good. I can't fail geography." Scarlett hissed as she used the book to push op her glasses before reading again "Hey Picasso." Blake smacked Scarlett's shoulder, making the brunette glare at her "Look who just walked in." Following the direction of Blake's finger, Scarlett saw Jonathan. The boy looked worse than usual.
Without a moment of hesitation Scarlett walked forward towards Jonathan, it was safe to say they were friends "Hey." She leaned on the wall and saw that he was hanging up a poster of Will. There was a picture of Will that the Henderson girl recognised, it had been Mike's birthday party and Jonathan had attended and made pictures of everyone there. Even Ted who was snoring on a lazy chair, mouth wide open, had made an appearance in Jonathan's pictures, the picture was actually that they had taken very spicy chicken and put it in Ted's mouth "Hey." Jonathan smiled weakly at the blonde "How've you guys been?" Jonathan shrugged a bit.
