Surprise Housemate

Cotton Candy POV:

Cheery Pie couldn't be serious. I just looked toward Gray Guard, trying to see if he knew what was going on. I looked toward Sunny. None of them seemed to know. "Why would I do that?" I asked Cheery Pie. Why would I go into a place all alone with someone I didn't know for two hours?

"You called one of them One," Cheery Pie said to me. "One, Alone, and Lonely means an extra two hours with a housemate without a guard present."

What?! "I was just numbering, it was a number," I told her. There was no way they could pin that on me. "It's common sense that it was a number because the next ones were Two and Three and Four." Numbers should have been safe.

"Oh! Oh." Sunny ran over to me. "I forgot. You weren't around when she said the other names."

Weren't around for other names? "What are you talking about?"
