I could have sworn that I had already published this chapter... sorry, but at least it's here now.

 Anyway, just so you know, the characters may start to be a little out of character from now on because 

1. I don't remember 100% of the way they speak,

 2. for the sake of the story and it is just way easier, and last but not least, 

3. Some Ships (or all of them since bbb doesn't have ships) aren't canon to the story so they are going to act a little differently. Talking about Ships, some of you have told me if they wanted ships or not, and we have a 50/50, so I don't know. I am going to put some ships in there, like Shalt, since it is my favourite, and some others too. But now, which ships would you like to see? And which are absolutely no-goes for you? 

Please let me know to make it as good as possible for you. This chapter and the next are going to contain none, so you have enough time to think and text me.

 "I hope all of you had a nice trip," she said, her voice filled with a welcoming warmth. The room was spacious and cosy, with a large stone fireplace crackling in one corner, casting a warm, flickering glow. Some of the group responded with a cheerful "yes," while others just nodded, continuing to munch on their food, clearly famished from their journey.

"You all are the first to arrive. Most of the others will get here throughout tomorrow, so don't worry - you won't be alone for long. But we can't decide on room assignments since the others haven't arrived yet. So, you'll be having a little sleepover in the living room tonight, okay?" She said as the others were still arranging themselves in the living room area, where plush sofas and colourful throw pillows were arranged around a large, soft rug.

"YEAH, A SLEEPOVER!" Aiger and Ranjiro yelled in unison, their mouths full as they jumped up and down with energy and excitement. Their enthusiasm was contagious, bringing smiles to the faces of their friends.

"Keep it the fuck down, you two, would ya? Jesus..." Silas grumbled, murmuring the last part under his breath. He slouched back in his chair, running a hand through his messy hair, clearly annoyed by the outburst.

"Silas Karlise, how many times do I have to tell you to watch your language?! If you don't stop swearing, I swear to God, the next time I see you will be the last time you see the morning light!" Chris warned, her eyes narrowing. Her tone was sharp, cutting through the cheerful atmosphere like a knife.

The BC Sol members seemed used to seeing her this way, but everyone else was shocked, as they had never seen her so angry and annoyed before. The room fell silent for a moment, the 

only sound being the crackling of the fire.

After the excitement from the sleepover and the shock of seeing Chris so mad for the first time, she was finally able to continue explaining the plan for tomorrow. The tension eased as she took a deep breath and smiled reassuringly.

"So, there are some rules you should definitely pay attention to. Don't worry, they aren't very strict since this is supposed to be fun. You don't have to remember them all right now; I'll send them in the group chat. But let's go through them together. And please, for the love of God, let me talk without any interruptions," Chris explained, specifically eyeing Silas, Aiger, and Ranjiro. 

Silas ignored her, while Aiger and Ranjiro looked quite offended but chose to stay calm, not wanting to annoy her further.

"First, there are two different houses: one for the younger group and one for the older group. Everyone who is 17 and older will stay together, and those who are 16 can choose where they want to be. This arrangement is so the older group can have a little more privacy to do things the younger ones might not want to do or aren't allowed to do, like watching horror movies."

At that, Rataro elbowed Silas and whispered, "Yeah, suuuure we won't do anything worse than that," to which Silas responded with a sly laugh. This went unnoticed by Chris, who continued her explanation.

"There will be rooms for 2, 3, and 4 people. Once you have chosen your room and the others have agreed, you won't be able to change it. In House No.1, the house for the younger group, bedtime will start at 21:00. After that, everyone must go to their respective rooms and are no longer allowed to leave. Quiet chatting and games are allowed as long as you stay quiet, and the lights will be out by 23:00 at the latest. For House No.2, the house for the older group, bedtime will start at 23:00. This means you need to be home by that time and be quiet so as not to wake others. There's no set time to turn the lights off, as you are old enough to make reasonable decisions."

"HEY, WAIT, THAT AIN'T FAIR!" yelled Aiger, to which Ranjiro and even Toko and Nika agreed. Their voices echoed slightly in the high-ceilinged room, bouncing off the wooden beams and rustic decor. "Well, I think it is pretty fair, to be honest," said Free with all the peace in mind. He leaned back in his chair, his demeanour calm and unbothered. "I do have to agree, we are part of the younger group by just one year!" Toko stated. "Yeah, and just because of that, we have to stay with the little ones?" Nika added, clearly frustrated.

"Now now, calm down, please. First of all, the youngest one is going to be 11, so it isn't that much of a difference. And second of all, you are all allowed to stay with the older group during the entire day if that is what you desire. When nighttime comes, we will separate you. And before any of you ask, no, I will not change it, and the rules are going to stay like that, end of story," 

Chris stated rather firmly while the younger ones looked a bit disappointed.

 Valt and Rataro could only laugh at that, finding the whole situation amusing. Their laughter was a light-hearted counterpoint to the grumbling of the younger kids.

Chris continued, "Now that we've got that settled, let's talk about what we have planet for the next few days' activities. We're going to have a mix of team-building games and some free time to explore the area. Breakfast will be at 8:00 AM sharp, so make sure you get enough sleep tonight. We'll also be splitting into groups for some of the activities, but don't worry, you'll get a chance to choose your groups."

The group seemed to relax a bit, the initial excitement and tension giving way to a sense of anticipation for the days ahead. Chris's firm yet caring demeanour reassured them that despite the rules, this was going to be a memorable and fun experience. The room buzzed with quiet conversations and laughter as they settled into the cosy living room for their impromptu sleepover, the soft glow of the fire adding a touch of magic to the beginning of their adventure.
