"Oh, I'd love to go there," Kat said her eyes lighting up, "they have all those cute kangaroos and koala bears! But you have to ride a plane for an awful long time and I don't like to do that, maybe I can take a cruise or something.  Did weird stuff happen in Tokyo like it does here?"  Kat thought it might have, but you never really knew, so she always liked to ask.
 
 
 
Alex chuckled at that and drank from her mug, only to put it down at the sounds coming from the front door and telling the other two to stay there until she knew what it was.
 
Moments later she came back in and let them know that Derek and the others had returned.
 
"And sorry to cut this short, young lady, but it's time to go back to bed." She looked apologetically at Kat but would stand firm in her decision "If your mom knew..."
 
That and Alex wanted to go out and talk to Julia, find out what it was that had made her friend leave earlier angry and upset.
 
She motioned Kat to walk with her so she could tuck her in.
