Lynn has better places to be.

You wake up with Lynn in your arms. You're not sure when you fell asleep, but you find yourself back in your own room, still naked though. Lynn is just as free of clothing as she lays beside you. Her soft skin is highlighted by the warm rays of line peeking through your window. You caress her pillowy bosom, noticing the gem-like pendant resting between them. You could slip it off without her even waking. Take your power back. Only, you don't. You have no desire to. Your bed-mate slowly stirs, rubbing the sand from her eyes, and stretches. "Mmm... morning..."

"Hey..." you say softly, "When did we get here?"

"Hmm?" she murmurs groggily, before realizing where you are. "Ah... I thought we should go to someplace comfortable for the night. I guess this is your room?"

"Yeah... um, does my mom know...?" It's hard to figure out who knows what right now, let alone who's alright with it. If your mom knew you had a girl in your room, she would probably be upset though.

Lynn waved her hand dismissively, "I'll be out of here without anyone noticing."

"You don't need to wash up?"

Lynn hopped off the bed and stretched her arms upwards, reaching high enough to go up to her tip toes. She dropped back down and in a flash, her bed hair was replaced by perfectly coiffed golden locks, her eyes and lips were tastefully decorated in makeup and her body was covered with a pretty sundress. You stood up in amazement.

"Wow..." you say. "What about me?" Lynn points to you and you find yourself feeling clean and combed and wearing your jeans and t-shirt. "Thanks!"

"So, I'm going to go shopping. I think Paris," Lynn mused.

"Not going to school today?"

Lynn laughed, "I don't think I need to go ever again!" She pointed to her head, "Intellect upgrade! Bet you wanted to try and take the magic pendant back while I was sleeping huh?" She looks at you disapprovingly as you hem and haw your 'innocence'. She snickers, "I had that covered too. No one will have the urge to take this pendant off me. So... my power is absolute!"

"Wait..." you start, thinking that something is missing. Shouldn't you be more upset that Lynn just stole your omnipotent power? Who is missing? There should be someone else here, shouldn't there?

Lynn takes notice of your confused look. "You want to know where Amina is, don't you?"

A look of recognition plasters you face. "Oh... what happened to her?"

Lynn taps the pendant and smiles, "She was here the whole time. Buuuut... since you seem so keen on the little redhead, I'll bring her out to escort you and maybe keep tabs on how the school's doing after yesterday's events."

Amina stands next to Lynn, huddled with sunk shoulders. She speaks softly, "Hello, Riley."

"Well, have fun, you two!" Lynn says and disappears.

"Riley! Time for breakfast! You better not be late for school!" calls out your mom from the kitchen.

You look at Amina and smile awkwardly. She saw everything by the looks of it. She doesn't even want to make eye contact with you. You sigh softly, "The least she could have done was give you some clothes..."

Amina stands awkwardly, doing a poor job of covering herself under her slender arms. She shyly replies, "Yeah..."

"Riley! Don't make me come up there and yank you out of bed!"
