Brian Fills Everyone In

Kenny and Zoey made their way into the kitchen and immediately spotted Mindy and Brian at the stove and counter. Brian was finishing up the last of the pancakes while Mindy worked on plating everything and bringing it over to the table. Rachel and Kailyn sat across from one another talking at the table though the girls quickly looked up and smiled at the teens, "Morning guys," Kailyn sweetly said as they both approached,

"I was wondering when you two would be coming to join us, it's not a secret that new love can be very...exhausting," Rachel added on, shooting Kenny a teasing grin,

"Lucky for us we have all the vitality required," Zoey easily shot back causing Rachel to give the redhead a surprised glance before nodding, "Brian and Mindy been at this for awhile?" Zoey continued as she and Kenny grabbed a seat,

"They were already flipping pancakes when we got down here," Kailyn lightly laughed, "They seem to be having fun with it," She added on while watching Mindy with a small smile, the sense of worry and dread she had for the girl somewhat drained away as she saw her and Brian now,

"Where's Nicole and Eric?" Kenny dryly asked, not very concerned with the pair, more curious in question,

"Nikki is...self medicating, shall we call it?" Rachel joked, "She's been hot boxing the bathroom since last night, I'm sure she'll be down soon, I'm not sure about Eric,"

"He's packing up," Brian called over from the stove as she finished the last of the pancakes and shut the stove off, "Came down a little earlier, felt the best thing to do was just head home, I don't blame him, things have been a little tense," Brian admitted,

"Well, that means my next few days are gonna be nice and quiet," Zoey hummed while reaching over and wrapping her hand around Kenny's,

"Well, maybe not too quiet," Rachel teased,

"Alright, hope you guys are hungry," Mindy finally announced as she walked over with a large plate of pancakes and bacon, "Because we made lots,"

"I don't know, last time you cooked, I was in the bathroom all day," Kenny lightly chuckled to his friend,

Mindy rolled her eyes, "I keep telling you that was not my cooking, you were just sick, I'm not a bad chef!"

"Not at all," Brian chimed in, "You make an excellent sous-chef,"

"Thank you," Mindy grinned before turning towards the kitchen door, "JJ, Anna, hurry up, food's gonna get cold!"

"Be right there!" Anna called back,

"Yeah yeah, after your done playing kissy kissy," Brian muttered with a smirk, "Dig in guys, no use in it getting cold waiting,"

"Awesome, thanks Bry," Kenny nodded as he reached out and stabbed a fork into a few pancakes, "So, what's the plan?"

"Well, I was thinking, we could finally hit up the hot tub out on the deck today," Brian replied, "Or now that the storm is passed by, we could head up the mines and check them out, see if we can find anything cool,"

"Maybe, as long as it's safe of course, and we bring safety equipment in case of the worse," Zoey quickly replied, "After last time I don't want to push my luck surviving a blizzard on this mountain twice,"

"No argument here, we can-" Brian began to say only to stop as the group all heard a heavy bang at the front door, "Who the hell?"

"Who the fuck is that?" Rachel frowned as the group slowly got to there feet,

"I don't know," Brian murmured as he made his way out of the kitchen and to the front door.
