DT Serum, Primary Testing In Progress

"Four out of five stars in a couple of thousand reviews, and all the bad ones seem to be idiots minus one that was then taken care of," True told her.

Layla nodded. "Price for rooms, and room sizes? And are there any special packages?"

"This is the special package I was thinking of," True said, finding the information and handing his phone over.  "Out of all of the places I've looked at, it seems to off the most for a reasonable price and has great reviews."

Layla looked it over. "Hmmmmm...." This gave her ideas of what to do with Lex if they got more intimate. "I like it. I can help pay for some of it. But first, I am actually going to make sure Lex and Ashton are still up there and still okay. And bring them food."

"Kat and I already agreed to take on most of the coast since we kind of have the highest paying jobs, but if we all pitch in, it's from all of us, and it'll make this trip spectacular for Dad and Mom," True smiled.  "You go take care of them.  I'll wait here if you need anything."

Layla smiled and nodded. "All right. Just tell me what I owe for my share and I'll get it together." She gathered the two plates and headed upstairs to check on the guys.

Ashton had been awake for a while now, but had barely moved the whole time.

Lex was getting a cramp in his arm from holding Ashton, but he still didn't move.  Nope, not moving.

Layla softly knocked on the door before she came in. "Hey," She said with a soft smile. "I brought breakfast for you two."

"Not hungry." Ashton murmured duly.

"I am," Lex said, sitting up slowly and working the kinks out of his back.  "Thanks, Lays."

She smiled and handed Lex his plate, setting Ashton's on the nightstand. "Need anything else?" She offered.

"Think you could get us some water, please?" Lex requested, digging into his breakfast.

Layla nodded. "Of course!" She left to go get water. Ashton made no move to even sit up and no effort to try and eat.

Lex glanced at him.  "Won't make you eat until tonight.  If you don't eat by dinner on your own, I'll be forcing you.  Deal?"

Ashton sighed. "Fine." He said quietly just before Layla returned with their waters.

Lex took one water and tapped it against Ashton's shoulder. "Just a sip.  Please?"

Ashton sighed again. After a long moment, he sat and sipped the water, drinking half of it at least. Only because Lex asked did he do it.

"Thank you," Lex said simply and took the other from Layla.  "And thanks, Lays.  Appreciate it."

Laa smiled and nodded. "If you two need anything else, just holler. I think True will be here at least most of the day. I'm heading out with Geena when she gets back from walking Paul to school. Gaster had some stuff to do at the lab, and took Sam and Shuni with him." She updated them.

"Thanks, that's good.  Going to have fun with Geena?" Lex asked.

"Main goal is shoes for her dress." Layla said. "But I think we will have fun."

"I never did understand why girls were so fascinated by shoes," Lex said, draining his cup.

Layla smiled. "Same as our interest in jewelry and hairstyle. We pay attention to the details of how we look." She gave Lex a one armed hug. "Holler if you need anything. I'll check up on you two again before I head out with Geena."

"Will do, see you later," Lex agreed, waving her off.

Layla smiled and slipped back downstairs. "What all needs cleaned up still from breakfast?" She asked True.

Ashton finished his water and fell back onto the bed, staring at the ceiling.

"Nothing.  Got it all done," True replied.  "How are they?"

Lex studied Ashton.  "Hey... I know you loved- love - whatever, Tramp, but... No one is worth this.  He wasn't even that nice a guy.  I mean, not really.  I guess he was kind of nice because he looked after that dog, but he wasn't going to be sticking his neck out for you any time soon.  I just... I hate seeing this in you."
