It was kind of hard for Cassie to fall asleep. It wasn't that she was uncomfortable. No, laying beside Serix, curled up against him, was very comfortable. But the thought of having someone possibly sneaking in and doing something to either she or Serix stuck in her mind and that kept her up for most of the night. Even after they had said goodnight to one another, the two layed there awake. Sometimes she was be staring into the darkness of their room, and other times she would see that Serix was awake as well, his violet eyes opening in the dark and giving off a little bit a light. When they happened she would look over silently at him and the two would share a silent moment. It seems she wasn't the only one worried about people coming in.

It was an hour or two before they were to wake up that she finally did fall asleep. And so, when someone came into retrieve the two of them she was beat and slightly unwilling to wake up. She groaned when she heard the curtain pull back, nuzzling her face against Serix's neck, thinking maybe they might go away if she said nothing. But they didn't, "Hey, you two, Ryan says its time to wake up." Sitting up slightly, she saw it was one of men they had yet to officially meet standing in the door way, his arms crossed over his chest, a grin playing on his lips, "Come on, don't want Ryan to see you two all snuggled up like that. He might get mad."

Cassie replied with a huff, "I don't care. It's none of his business anyway."

The man laughed, "Ah, so that spunk wasn't an act." He stood up straight from where he had been leaning against the door way, "My names Quincy by the way. Just figured I'd say welcome to you two. Breakfast starts in a few so I would get there fast before Jake eats all the good stuff." With that, he left,leaving she and Serix to themselves.

Leaning down, she kissed Serix a moment before going to get up, "Well that one didn't seem too bad. But then again, we didn't talk to him that much." Once she was up and had stretched she walked with him down the dining area. She at the place she had yesterday, Emily, Conner, Sarah, Jerry, and Victoria already seated. With them was two younger members of the colony. They looked to be around eleven and twelve years old and Cassie had a feeling he knew who the girl was. Last time she saw Ryan, he had a baby sister. That was eleven years ago. This girl looked like too. It was a strange feeling to see her after only seeing her a baby, but it was a good feeling too that made her smile. As she sat down, she nodded to the girl, the smile staying on her face, "You're Sally."

The younger girl looked at her wide eyed, leaning forward in curiosity, "You know my name?"

Cassie nodded and laughed slightly, "You wouldn't remember me, but I knew you when you were just a baby. My nae's Cassie."

The girl's big eyes grew even wider, "Wow! You're Castiel?! Ryan talks about you [i]all[/i] the time."

"Yeah, he totally has the hots for you." The young boy beside her made a face and stuck his finger toward his mouth, "Gross. Gag me with a spoon."

Sally looked to the boy, "Charlie!" She smacked him in the arm, "It's not gross. It's sweet."

"Sweet?" Charlie counted, giving her a skeptical look, "You're too much of a girl. Besides, look at her dumbo. She's with the alien."

Moving her blue eyes back to Cassie and Serix she frowned, "Oh yeah, she is, isn't she?" She sighed, "Oh well. Guess big bro is just going to have to settle for Sarah."

Sarah nearly choked on the juice she had been drinking, making all the others at the table laugh at the tween's antics of pairing everyone up, and Sarah spoke, coughing at the same time, "Kiss a guy one time and suddenly it means something?"

Charlie sneered, "You've kissed all the guys here. Glad I'm not old enough to date you, you old hag."

Sarah's face reddened and if it wasn't for Emily putting a hand on her shoulder, Sarah might have jumped at the young boy, "So what if I have? Its stupid to have something serious going on between two people down here anyway. I'd rather have all the guys than just one." Standing up, she huffed, "I'm going to get started on the crops. Come when you're all done lazing about." With that the girl was gone and Emily shook her head, looking at them.

"Sarah's a bit of....player? She been in a relationship with pretty much all the guys here expect for Conner and Hunter. She just....has had bad luck?" She turned her gaze to Charlie, "And you need to watch your mouth young man. You need to remember to have respect when talking to adults."

Charlie frowned in annoyance and leaned back in his seat, "Fiiiiine." After saying this he saw Sally stick her tongue out at him and returned the gesture, the two getting into a pretty childish competition of making ugly faces at each other.

"You two keep that up and your faces will get stuck like that. That's sometime I can't fix." Cassie looked over her shoulder to see another of the young men had come over, smiling at them all before going to introduce himself to Cassie and Serix, "I'm Ray. I run the clinic here."

"Why are you talking to them Ray? I would have waited until the thing was gone." Another man with brown hair walked up as well.

"You have to be polite Monty. They are new here." As they stood there, a white and brown pitbull wobbled over to sit beside Ray. 

Seeing the dog made Cassie smile. It had been a long time since she had seen a tamed dog. She looked up at Ray, "Is it okay to pet him?" 

Ray chuckled and shrugged, "Sure. He's very well behaved. He's my assistant in the clinic. Have to say, he's more reliable than any of the people here." 

She reached her hand, petting the top of the dog's head, to which the dog enthusiastically licked her hand before, much to Cassie's surprise, he jumped into her lap and wiggled excitedly, at the attention Cassie was giving him. She laughed and looked over at Serix as she tried at the same time to avoid getting licked in the face by the happy dog, "Dogs used to be tamed as pets by humans. This one isn't like the wild ones we saw on the streets."

Ray nodded, "Some were even trained to do jobs, like I did with Gizmo here." He grinned at Serix, "Go ahead, you can pt him. He won't bite."
