A Night in Space

Stuffing her clothes in one of the bags she’d brought with her, Katy stepped out of the changing cubicle and into the main part of the communal bathroom. Several girls were at the mirror, removing their makeup and chatting. Choosing a basin for herself, she started brushing her teeth.

Leaning up against the porcelain, she looked up at the frosted window, where the light that Saturn reflected back to Enceladus shone. She pictured the magnificent planet hanging in the black void above. She’d seen it multiple times during the rest of the day as they were given a guided tour of several of the rooms in the castle. They’d spent most of the afternoon in a frankly ginormous library, and in several rooms that held a bewildering array of Magical artifacts. Trevelyan had spent the rest of the afternoon helping the teachers explain what the students were seeing and the significance of the rooms, books, or items.

They were even joined by several other Magi, including two Councillors, who talked to them and answered questions.

It was a mind-blowing experience, and Katy felt sure she would remember this day for as long as she lived. It was incredible.

And to think that just a few short weeks ago, she was in a London college, learning about fashion without a clue that any of this existed.

How her life had changed.

Someone stepped up beside her.

“Daydreaming of your boyfriend, Stone?”

Katy turned to see Mikayla, with her two cohorts, Nina and Kasey, still caked in makeup, leering at her.

Finishing up, Katy spat into the sink and rinsed her mouth out before she looked back up at them. “Want me to get a butter knife to scrape that foundation off? Or a paint scraper?”

“Darling, when you can afford makeup, don’t come to me for lessons on how to stop your face from cracking mirrors,” Mikayla replied.

Katy smirked, finding the insults amusing more than hurtful. “Jesus! You really need to get some new material. Honestly, it’s just funny at this point,” she replied as she rubbed some face cream in before packing up her stuff.

Mikayla gave her a stink eye, but Katy winked at her and wandered out, feeling quite pleased with herself. She stepped out into the girl's communal dorm. It was a long room with bunk beds up both sides and girls in their nightwear either chatting or reading books, as they sat on their beds.

Katy soon found her bed. She was sleeping above Dana, while Yuki was on the next bunk over. Both of them were already ready for bed and were sitting on Dana’s lower bunk, talking.

Katy deposited her toiletries and clothing back in her case and joined her friends.

“I saw Mikayla go into the bathroom a moment ago,” Yuki stated. “Did she say anything?”

“Yeah. She always says something. I expect it now. I’d think something was wrong if she didn’t have some snide comment to throw my way.”

Yuki smiled, mirroring Katy’s grin. “You gave as good as you got, did you?”

“Hell yeah. I don’t think she liked me laughing at her, though.
