HOA: Season 5

House of Trips/House of Joinings

As Victor and Ms. Stone entered the common room, Chris immediately left. Nina took a sharp breath and sat down. "I can't believe this. I thought I was free." Fabian rubbed her back.

"Everyone! In the common room! I have an announcement to make!" Victor stated. Mick came in.

They all settle into the room and see Ms. Stone and Victor.

"Nina, we'll get through this." Fabian held Nina's hand. "I promise you."

Nina smiled at him.

"What's the announcement, Ms. Stone?" Mara wondered. "We're going on a field trip to Egypt!" She exclaimed. "Isn't it exciting!"

"Wow. H-how did you get this idea?" Fabian stuttered.

"It was just a voice in my head."

Sibuna glanced at each other, but Mick just glared at them all.

"Next announcement--all university students will be going to be in dorms now. You will no longer be in this house."

"Nooooo...." Everyone groaned.

"Settle down, settle down. Also, Our headmaster-" "Headmistress." She coldly corrected.

"That is all, scurry and scatter or whatever you brats do."

Eddoe scoffed. Eddie, Nina, Joy, Mara, Jerome, Courtney, Amber, Alfie, and Fabian meet in Amber and Nina's room.

"We're going to Egypt! How exciting is this!?" Mara squealed. "Yeah, we can find the Mirror of Nepethys, and find out what Senkhara's sister wants with it." Nina said.

Patricia walked into the room. "Guys," she looked down, "can we talk?" Courtney sits and stares at her. "Without the creepy staring girl?"

Courtney politely stands up and walks out.

"I want to come back." She announces. "What?" Nina asked. "What?" Eddie repeated.

"I've missed the crazy adventures we had. I miss the mysteries. I miss you guys. Dustin...He wasn't the right one for me." Patricia glanced at Eddie. Eddie had a small smile on his face and there was hope in his eyes. Hope that he and Patricia may reunite.

Courtney walked back inside the room.

"So, that means I'm out right?" She asked the gang. "Court-"

"No, I get it. She's an original. How can I stand in the way of your happiness? You're better off with one of your own anyway." Courtney walked off.

Eddie sighed. Amber looked around. "Okay! That was really awkward." Amber got up and hugged Patricia. "Glad to have you here, Patricia."

There was this gulity feeling up in the air, and everyone could feel it.

"Now don't be sad everyone! We're going to Egypt!" Jerome cheered them up. "To run away from a crazy ghost lady and find an Egyptian artifact." Eddie mumbled.

Courtney knocked on Mick's door. He brought her inside. "They shunned you, didn't they?"

"Just like he said they would."

She took out her phone and dialed Mr. R's number.

"You were right. They did take Terrific Trixie back as soon as they had the chance. I thought Eddie was my friend."

"I'm so sorry C. Come to my house. We'll talk."
