The fridge door suddenly swung open, an obviously irate Vincent emerging from within. Exasperation filled with face, exploding in a vulgar gesture of frustration that Cece instinctively winced at. 

[color=LightBlue]“Movie time?”[/COLOR] A voice suddenly asked from Cece's right. Turning, she was greeted with the crumb-laden face and hands of Hayden standing beside her. The younger teen looked quite satisfied with the remnants of whatever uncooked processed product they had managed to procure from the freezer. Charity couldn't help but smile and shake her head.

[COLOR=#FCE8B1]"Hay-hay! You've got to start cooking your food,"[/color] She scolded lightly. [COLOR=#FCE8B1]"And some vegetables [i]probably[/i] wouldn't hurt either..."[/color] Cece smiled, taking a stride past Vincent towards the fridge. Placing a hand on the handle, Charity paused, turning back to Vincent.

[COLOR=#FCE8B1]"I'm not going to open this and then get sucked across the building right?"[/color] A smirk crossed her face as his expression wordlessly answered her question. Reaching inside, the blonde pulled out a carton of milk and poured a glass before turning around and presenting it to Hayden.

[COLOR=#FCE8B1]"This should help wash, '[i]those[/i]' down."[/color] She stated, motioning towards the destroyed box of nuggets. Holding the glass towards Hayden, Cece looked up to see Hana strolling towards the kitchen, fresh make-up applied. A closer look revealed a split lip hiding beneath the fresh coat of paint but Cece knew better than to ask. It was no doubt related to the penthouse's most recent 'blackout'.

[color=#6b8a72]"What’s up, nerds?"[/color] The other teen called out, looking away from the group and more in Julian’s general direction. [color=#6b8a72]"So, what was that about? A penthouse-wide game of Seven Minutes in Heaven?"[/color]

[COLOR=#FCE8B1]"What's Seven Minutes in Heav-"[/color] Charity began to ask Hana before thinking better of it mid-sentence. Given who the comment came from and that it involved being performed in the dark, Charity had a pretty good hunch she didn't need the details. [COLOR=#FCE8B1]"Y'know what, forget I asked,"[/color] She stated quickly, her cheeks flushing quickly as Hana finished her remark about Redmond. Charity could speak up, remind Hana that Red wasn't simply there for them to ogle, or that she shouldn't be so quick to take advantage of the boy's eagerness. But she knew it was a waste of her breath and unnecessary conflict. She liked Hana and wasn't particularly keen to get on her bad side. Shaking her head again, Charity turned back to the youngest member of the team.

[COLOR=#FCE8B1]"Hay-hay! Yes, it is definitely movie time!"[/color] Walking down the hallway towards the lounge, Cece turned to Hayden again, [COLOR=#FCE8B1]"Promise me you won't be like that when you're older,"[/color] She teased, a mischievous grin crossing her face. Entering into the lounge, Charity was surprised to find that it was empty, but none the less the more the merrier.

“[color=plum]Evening.[/color]” Gabi's greeting was almost monotone as she turned towards the pair.

[COLOR=#FCE8B1]"Gabi-girl! Hey!"[/COLOR] Charity exclaimed, [COLOR=#FCE8B1]"Hay-hay and I were going to put on a movie, did you want to join us?"[/COLOR]

[color=2E8B57]"Evening ladies,"[/color] Another voice rang out, this one far more cheerful than Gabi's. [color=2E8B57]"Watching something?"[/color] Selene asked while climbing over the back of one of the lounge's large sectionals.

[COLOR=#FCE8B1]"That's the plan, but the real question is what?"[/color] Cece asked, turning on the large screen across from the four teens. There were numerous streaming options available to the team. At least there were when the power stayed on. Picking something that everyone enjoyed was usually a nightmare. [COLOR=#FCE8B1]"Have anyone of you seen the new one about the hunky cop that moonlights as a superhero and falls for his partner? It's a bit of a rom-com, a bit of an action flick. Think it's a pretty good compromise?"[/color]
