Living/Family Room

Paul walked into the living room, and sat on the couch.
Mark was who knows where, and Noah was with Erika.
Paul laid on the couch, pushing the button on the remote that starts the security system.

Bell unlocked the door (and typed in a code), her keys jingling, "Hey sweetie," She said as she brought some bags in, "Ruby and Erika are going to stay with us for awhile, she didn't find her 'dream' house," Bell rolled her eyes, "You know you don't have to put the alarms on, I'm pretty sure if someone broke in you could handle it,"

Ruby walked in with a load of stuff, which was mostly Erika's.
"So, um, where should I put this stuff?" Ruby said, motioning to the stuff she held.

"On the ground, we'll take care of it later," Bell smiled.

"Okay," Ruby smiled.
"Thanks so much for letting me stay here, you guys are great." Ruby said gratefully, then going back outside for the rest of the stuff.

"It's no problem, Rubs," Bell sighed and murmured to Paul, "She was looking for a house for 5 hours, then she liked one... but it wasn't for sale," Bell sat down.

"I heard that!" Ruby shouted as she was grabbing stuff from the car and came back in.
"That's it, thankfully." Ruby smiled and placed them on the ground.

"Finally,"

"Blame it all on Erika, when she gets home with Noah. I don't even know where the heck they are. They've been gone since last night."

"I wonder if she'll come here or the motel," Bell mused

"I guess I could text her," Ruby decided to and texted her that they were staying at Bell's house with Noah and them all so she could just come home with Noah if she wanted.

Bell shrugged, "I don't care"

"I don't either, considering I'm texting her now," Ruby smiled and wondered what the heck they could have been doing all this time.

Noah & Erika walked in the front door.

"Perfect timing," Ruby commented as the two walked through the door.

Paul rolled over off the couch.
He grabbed Bell's hand, and took her to the bedroom.

Ruby smiled, sorta feeling awkward now that everyone was a couple in the house except her.
Erika's hand was entangled in Noah's and she blushed deeply.

Bell followed after Paul, then glanced back at the others and smiled.

Ruby smiled back and wondered what Paul had in mind and then wondered where the heck Mark had gone. She hadn't seen him since they were at the Morgue...

Whuf appeared.
"'Sup!" he greeted as he sat on the couch.

"Hey," Ruby said back, wondering who he was.

He grinned a wolfish smile.
"Nice ta meetcha."

"You too. What's your name?" Ruby asked.

"Whuf."
He said it like a small dog barking.

Ruby smiled a little.
"Interesting. I'm Ruby." Ruby thought about having the name "Whuf".

Whuf's smile turned into a grin.
"Nice."
To be full, Whuf had dark hair and brown eyes.
He looked around 18.
"I'm a friend of Paul's."

Ruby nodded and wondered why he kept smiling.
"Are you happy or something?" Ruby asked.

Whuf looked away, blushing a little.
"No... yeah."
He looked back.
"A pretty girl is talking to me. That's reason enough to smile."

"Oh, well, um, thanks." Ruby blushed a little and looked down a little.
Erika smiled at Ruby, sort of encouraging her.
"So, um.." Ruby began.

Whuf laughed softly.
"Yeah... Um, I'm 17.."
