Viper groaned as she drug herself from her bed, cursing as she preceded to stub her toes and knee on various nearby furniture. As the redhead slipped on a pair of beige camo print cargos and struggled into her white tank-top, she hopped into the living room. Oblivious to the stares she was drawing with the commotion she continued cursing as she fought her combat boots onto her feet, ramming herself backwards into several walls.

The girl noticed her company when the less than subtle chuckling of Apollo broke the not so silent early morning air. Viper shot the yautja a quick glare before returning to her scrambling.

The 19 year old hastily put together a quick breakfast of toast and orange juice and wolfed it down as she tied her firey locks back in a loose ponytail. Apollo's ceaseless stares eventually got to her and she spat out "WHAT?!"

"Aren't you forgetting someone here?"

Viper looked at the dark hunter with surprise. Despite the rudeness of his remark, he was genuinely asking for her cooking. "I thought you didn't like my cooking..." the girl stated in a grudge showing tone.

The yautja huffed and looked away, an almost embarrassed look on his face. "Don't get me wrong, it still sucks... I just prefer it over any of their cooking!" His hatred of the others and their kind was hardly subtle.

The two sat in silence for a few moments before he continued "So. Are you gonna make me something or what?!" Viper sighed, slight agitation visable on her voice "Fine... Just don't expect anything fancy, I'm still pretty pissed at you..."

The twins walked into the dining room, the smoke from the adjacent kitchen making their senses numb and vision blurry. They joined Draco and Allen at the table, quizical looks on their face as they watched Evan (not Viper) carrying in their breakfast. If one could even call it that...

Just about everything the xeno teen had made was burnt beyond recognition, even the oatmeal and cereal were burnt!

"Uh... Thanks Evan... I guess" Spike says as he tries to take a bite from the charcoal brick that was supposed to be toast.

The group tried to eat, the awkward silence broken only by the sounds of the alien boy struggling to eat their "food". After fighting back gags swallowing a spoonful of cereal Prince blurted out "I can't do it. I can't eat this... How did you even manage to ruin something as simple as cereal?!"

The mp3 loving teen shrugged "I only cook for myself when Viper's at work, and it tastes good enough to me..."

The predalien hissed in frustration "You have no tastebuds if you think THIS is good..."

The gamers perked up at their roomie's comment. "Viper went to work?" they said in unison.

"Yep"

Spike joined in, pushing his plate's contents into the nearby trashcan as he asked "Where does she work?"

Evan wolfed down his meal and cracked a mischievous smirk.

"Follow me, i'll show you."

Viper smiled as she stood before her workstation. Soon enough a group of excited zoo visiters would enter the Reptile House, filled with children and squeamish women she could petrify in whatever way she could with her many scaly charges. She could handle one of the larger, more potentially dangerous animals to amaze them, or freak them out with a bunch of interesting -albeit disturbing and creepy - facts about the many creatures here.

The best part was that she was paid to do it.

As the sounds of laughter and awe echoed towards her the teen adjusted her uniform. Finally she would have some people to scare!
But as the group rounded the corner her excitement was replaced by surprise.

"Evan?! Spike?! Prince and the others too?!" The redhead looked from one xeno to the next, shock apparent on her face. "What are you all doing here?!"

The girl's bother shrugged and explained "The guys were wondering where you worked so I brought them here for the tour."
Viper glared at her sibling, red staining her cheeks. Sighing, she looked at the others briefly before motioning to lead them through the complex. "Come on, i'll show you around..."

The boys stared in awe as the teen showed off her other reptilian company. The boys were especially surprised when the girl removed a large python from it's cage and draped it over her shoulders.

After spouting out the names and a few brief facts about each animal that caught their eye their hostess preceded to take them to the nearby exit. As the group were preparing to leave she called out to them "Have a look around the other habitats, i'll meet you in a couple hours when my shift is over."

The teens smiled and parted ways. It seemed as though the lot of them were going to get along just fine...
