Talk:Book 7: Flashback/@comment-2606:A000:1128:4169:293C:6830:55D:6D10-20181217210445

Headcanon time: (Tiana and Sophitz and Lylie. Sorry everyone else.) (Also, we're assuming they got Tam back :(  *sigh*)

Maniacal laughter filled the room. There was a high-pitched yelp, and the couch jerked back as Keefe lurched away from the tv screen and the monstrous face that now occupied it, causing Linh to jump  and almost fall on Dex's head.

"Keefe," Fitz complained. His arm had been around Sophie (unbeknownst to her), but the sudden movement had thrown them both forward, upsetting his carefully planned-out move. Tam snickered from his place on the floor, but his laughing turned into a muttered curse when Keefe's foot connected with his arm.

"Everyone shut up and watch the movie," Biana ordered, before jumping with a squeal.

Sophie was beginning to think letting the boys pick the movie hadn't been the best idea. Ever since Fintan had started training Marella, he'd been a lot more cooperative, and gave away information with a lot less "convincing"--not that he knew much. But when Mr. Forkle had seen how exhausted everyone was, he'd ordered them to take the night off--to which Keefe had happily leapt onto the idea of a hangout, and after grilling Sophie on human sleepover traditions, had convinced everyone to watch a horror movie with him.

And it seemed like everyone was regretting ever listening to Keefe.

"Do you guys do this often?" Wylie asked, with Linh in his lap.

Dex shook his head. "Almost never, thank gosh--AGH!!"

Another collective scream. Keefe grabbed onto Sophie, who unconciously gripped Fitz's arm, who seemed to realize he had no one to hide behind. Linh turned away and buried her face into Wylie's chest, and Dex yelled something about yetis at the top of his lungs, which the tiny reasonable part of Sophie's terrified brain assumed was an elvin curse. Down at their feet, Biana latched herself onto the closest person to her--which just happened to be Tam, who turned bright red and started pulling hard on his bangs.

"Humans do this for fun?" Biana squealed. "What's wrong with them?"

"Look at all the blood," Linh whispered.

"No, you IDIOT, YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO GO INTO THE BASEMENT ALONE!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING???" Tam screamed at the screen, throwing his arms into the air.

"Foster, I'm gonna have nightmares tonight," Kefe whispered to Sophie, staring wide-eyed at the tv.

"Uh-huh," Sophie replied, also gazing at the movie in horror.

Silently, the crew agreed--never again.
