12.30pm. That is when the first of them had woken up.

It was Ken.

He looked around the room. Julianne Hunter was not around.

Ken stretched his arms and stood up, immediately noticing four plates of a homemade breakfast with a note saying, "Enjoy."

Ken: (thinking: Things just keep getting stranger, don't they. Why on earth would she make us breakfast?)

He stood up and began to move around.

Ken: (thinking: Should I scan this room?)

At that point, Tiffany woke up as well.

Her eyes simply opened, and she quickly pulled herself up and also noticed the breakfast.

Tiffany: (thinking: What the...)

She also noticed Ken.

Tiffany: Oh, hey Ken.

Ken: Hey.

The two remained quiet for a moment.

Tiffany: Do you know where she is?

Ken: No clue.

Ken decided to take a look around the house while Tiffany remained in bed, reminiscing about the previous night.

He walked into the kitchen and, after thinking about it for a second, picked up a plate and went to sit on a couch with it.

Tiffany watched him as he took his first bite.

Ken: Hmmm. Home made and delicious.

Tiffany: I see.

Ken silently ate as Tiffany morosely got up and picked up a plate.

It was fried eggs with a generous helping of bacon and a side of bread.

If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

Tiffany also started to eat on her couch.

Ken: (thinking: Well, I suppose I can't scan the room now as she'd get upset.)

Tiffany: H... hey, Ken?

Ken: Hmmm?

He answered with food in his mouth.

Tiffany remained silent for a moment.

Tiffany: N... never mind.

Ken simply and knowingly went back to eating, as did Tiffany.

Rose suddenly also woke up.

She stretched her arms widely and energetically and let out a huge yawn.

Her eyes were still somewhat sad, but she turned to the other two and started chirpingly.

Rose: Morning, everyone!

Ken: Morning.

Tiffany: Morning.

Luke shook himself on his couch. He heard it, but he didn't want to wake up just yet.

Rose softly smiled at Luke's reaction before noticing that they had breakfast.

Rose: Huh? Where did you guys get breakfast?

Ken simply pointed at the table, and Rose gasped in surprise.

Rose: No way, Mrs. Hunter made breakfast?

Ken: Yes.

He munched another piece of egg and bacon.

Ken: It's pretty good.

Rose precariously walked around the house.

Rose: (thinking: So this is where Max lives)

She was careful to pay attention to things and to ensure she didn't ruin anything as she walked towards the plate of food before grabbing it and taking a seat on her couch.

Rose eagerly took a bite of the food before she flinched.

Rose: Mmmmmmmmmh. It's so good!

Ken: Hmm. I agree.

She continued to take bites out of the plate of food.

Rose: Oh my gosh. Max's mom is such a great cook!

Ken: Absolutely.

It was at that point that Luke finally woke up.

He quickly pulled himself out of the couch and took a moment to comtemplate and then took a look at his friends.

Rose: Oh, sorry, Luke. Did I wake you?

He sighed before he got up and passed by Rose to pat her on her head.

Luke: Don't sweat it.

He then looked at the plate of food on Rose's lap.

Luke: Where'd you guys get food?

Rose: Oh, it's on the kitchen table. See?

She pointed Luke in the direction of the food, and he walked over and picked up a plate.

He sat down and took a bite.

Luke: Hmm, this is good.

Rose: I know, right?

Luke: And there's so much bacon.

Rose: Yeah.

He excitedly started scarfing down chunks of bacon as Rose giggled at him.

Rose: You like meat so much!

Luke: Of course.

The pair shared a laugh after that, and he continued to eat.

As Luke ate, he kept his eyes on Tiffany. She was oddly quiet and unresponsive. And also, she was eating at a particularly slow pace.

As they ate, they suddenly heard footsteps coming from upstairs, which made all of them become tense. They didn't say a word.

The footsteps closed in and were heard on the stairs. It was Julianne Hunter.

They all looked at her expectantly before she spoke. Her countenance was not as angry and strict as before. It was instead much calmer.

Julianne: I see you're all enjoying your breakfast.

Luke: Y... yeah.

They all looked away from her.
