After receiving no reaction from the girls, Zach turned to Aurora and said, "I am sure they are thinking, 'Oh crap? Aurora is back! Now she will take Zach by himself, and we won't get to spend time with him!' or something similar to that."
"We are not!" Victoria hissed.
"You girls didn't react to her sudden appearance. How else would she interpret that?"
"What do you mean? How else were we supposed to react?" Aria asked with a puzzled look on her face.
"I don't know. She surprised you, so you would have acted surprised or at least pretended to be happy."
"Wait… that was a surprise?" Victoria sighed and glanced at Aria.
"Hmm?"
SIGH!
Aria sighed and said, "When you asked us to return, we immediately left the dungeon and rushed here. On our way, we heard people talking about something. Then, we stopped at the restaurant to buy lunch as we all were tired, and none of us wanted to cook lunch.
