Everyone had gotten to Simon's house before he had, mostly because he had to deal with the person who thought he was trying to fight. They ended up looking suspicious despite that being the thing they were trying not to do, and Josh had to explain to the neighbors that they were gathering for work.

When Simon did get to his house, he very quickly opened the garage door and Ethan and Dyl parked inside the two-car garage which conveniently didn't have any cars already taking up space. Simon and Anusha were left to park on the physical driveway.

The group of twelve made their way to Simon's basement despite not hanging out at Simon's house in nearly eight years.

"Do you still have the old karaoke machine?" Tobi asked while very slowly going down the stairs causing a traffic jam behind him.

Simon shook his head before realizing Tobi could not see him, "Nah, my mom got rid of it a few years back."

-

Lewis, Josh and Tobi had managed to get youtube on the TV in Simon's dad's mancave basement and were now forcing a karaoke session. Tobi kicked off the night with a beautiful rendition of Teenage Dream.

"Hey Simon, can I use this camera?" Anusha asked picking up the camera that was on a shelf near the tv.

Simon, who was trying to pull Harry off of Vik and Veronica, shouted something that resembled an agreement and something about using a different SD card.

"I have an SD card don't worry!"

She picked the camera up and went to take a picture of her friends being themselves but stopped when she noticed the preview screen for the pictures that were on the SD card that was loaded into the camera.

-

Simon's mom had called him mid Harry trying to do a screamo cover of a Punk Boy Coffin.

"Yeah I sterilized them!" He yelled into the phone over the sound of Harry screeching, and then immediately pulled the phone away from his hear when his mom started screaming about sterilization being bad.

"I meant sanitized!"

Text Messages between anusha and lewis

anusha: hey can you make an excuse to go home i'll drop you off but i need to talk to you

lewis: what happened

anusha: i really cannot say anything right now

lewis: yeah yeah okay dw

"Hey, my parents are coming back tomorrow and I need to go home and clean up the house," Lewis lied easily.

"Yeah, yeah that's fine. Do you need a ride?" Simon asked.

"Anusha lives near me, she'll drop me off!"

Harry looked up from his position on the couch at this moment, "Hey, can I get a ride home too? I have practice early tomorrow."

-

Not knowing how to start the conversation that needed to happen but couldn't in front of Harry, Anusha turned to Lewis who simply nodded his head. This meant nothing to Anusha because she needed to talk about something serious but didn't know if she could in front of someone who considered himself one of Simon's best friends.

"What did you need to tell me your hands are literally shaking."

"I think Simon took the photo that caused the whole assistant thing."

"He what?"

-

The three of them were now sat in front of Anusha's computer. They had gone to Anusha's house instead of their own homes because this was something she needed to show them.

"How do you know?" Harry asked, only slightly concerned with what his best friend was doing because he's had suspicions of him being a creep for a while.

"I took his SD card when I was taking pictures of all of us at his house."

Anusha loaded the SD card into her computer's SD reader and the folder filled with photos mostly of her popped up onto the screen. "It's not just the car photo, there are photos going back months of just me outside my house or whenever I'd hang out with Patrick."

"Is he a fucking kanima or something? This is so weird even for Simon," Lewis scrolled through the photos not being able to find words for how strange this situation was.

Harry and Lewis shared a look and Harry tried to shake his head in protest, but Lewis nodded his head in response. Anusha noticed this and turned to the guys who looked as if they were communicating through facial expressions, "What?"

Harry groaned before standing from his chair, "Simon had another dream. I think it was about the stuff with Patrick and he's been the one putting down the puzzle pieces."

"What happens when he finishes the puzzle?"

Harry and Lewis looked at each other again, either one not sure if they should say what they thought was going to happen.

"What happens?"

"The same thing that happened at the end of the last dream."

-

Lewis's parents weren't actually coming back from whatever countryside they were hiding in, but Harry did need to go home, so naturally Lewis came along on the drive from Anusha's house to Harry's.

"Let me know if you need a ride in the morning! Go to sleep, have good dreams and have a great time at practice tomorrow," Anusha was meant to only say bye, but what ended up coming out was a really cringe jumble of phrases.

"Anusha do you like Harry?" Lewis asked when Harry had finally gotten out of the car.

Lewis, taking her silence as a yes, decided to tell her something he should have told her a few years ago, "He had the first dream too."
