today we were back in the rainbow room. me and peter agreed to just carry on calling each other peter and 004 just in case we got caught. peter took me down to the rainbow room which i was met by a huge hug from 007. i was sad that we couldnt take her with us because i knew we couldnt take too many people or it would get too complicated. "hey im going to play chess with mr ballard and 011 but i will speak later" i said and headed over to the little table with the chess board. peter and 011 had just started playing. 

"so because 004 is covering whats happening under the table im going to pass it to you then as your leaving 004 will take it from you" he says to 011. who pretends to focus on the game. "so we all remember the steps for tomorrow right" they both slightly nod so no one else sees. "perfect" is all i say. when they were at the end of the game peter gives 011 his key card. she then gets up and walks off so it wasnt suspicious that we were spending so much time together. i got up from the floor and sat in the chair 011 was just sat in. "so are you excited?" he asks while putting all the pieces back in their places. "excited is an understatement. i could literally get up right now and start dancing" which makes his smile but he has to immediately hide it. "i cant wait to go to school. like i know its a weird thing to say but honestly" i nodded agreeing with him.

when being locked up in a place like this for so long school was like heaven at this point. i move my pieces and beat peter. "you only won because i let you" i smile. "youve always been a sore looser" this made him chuckle. Even though I was with Henry this whole time it only feels like I truly have him back now. "so what's the whole room plan?" I ask him as he moves the pieces back to their places again. "I don't know, if you want we could ask papa" I nodded my head. We both stood up and went our separate ways. Peter went to speak to the other orderly to explain what we where doing and I went to 011.

"hey me and Peter are going to speak to papa. Keep it safe" I looked down towards her sock in which she had hid they key card in. "I will don't worry" she re assured me. I looked over to Peter and he nodded so I waved by to 011 and went over to him. He held my hand as we walked to papas office. I had never noticed before but his hands where quite larger than mine. Obviously I had noticed the veins like how could you not? Once we had got to papas office Peter let go of my hand then knocked on the door. We heard papa grunt as he got out of his chair.

"oh Mr ballard and 004 this is unexpected. Please come in" we both walked in and sat and the chairs in front of his desk. "so how can I help you?" I looked at Peter because I didn't have the courage to ask. "we where wondering what would be happening with the room situation as 004s stuff is in my room. Does that mean she is staying in their tonight or?" papa nodded his head understandably. "well I will allow her to stay in their for the next two nights then she will be moved to her original room" he smiled. I loved how clueless he was at our escape plan. "is that all?" both me and Peter nodded. "well then I will walk back to the rainbow room with you"

After our experiment with papa we all went back to the rainbow room. My chest felt tight knowing that was the last experiment I would ever be doing here. I sat in the corner with my book ignoring everyone even Peter and 011 who were playing chess in the opposite corner. I didn't know why but I wanted to acknowledge my last day here. It had been my childhood after all. Spending time with 002 in here then came along 005 and 006 who where quite the weird ones. Then 007 who I instantly became friends with after 002 kicked me out of his friend group. Then 008 who disappeared after a while. I had seen it all. How papa had been overtaken with power which changed him.

I remember telling 007 how nice he used to be and she never believed me until I had told her loads of stories. But now it was time to move on and make new memories. Full of experiences from the outside world. I can't wait for me 011 and Peter to make friends at school. And I can't wait to have a picnic with Peter. I wonder if me and Peter will be in the same classes in school as we are only a couple of months apart from each other in ages. I know 011 is 14 or 15 I'm not sure I'll have to ask her. I just can't wait to breathe fresh air and touch grass. The simple things.

It was now time to leave the rainbow room. So I placed the book on the bookshelf and walked over to 011. She handed me the key card and I slipped it into my bra. I nodded to Peter who was holding the door open for us all along with the other orderly. "goodnight 011". "goodnight 004" she replied. I watched as all the others walked to their rooms as I waited for Peter. Once we got back to our room I sat down on the edge of the bed and slightly laughed to myself. "what's so funny?" Peter asked while taking off his belt. "just how clueless papa is, 'oh 004 will be sharing the room with you for the next two days', um no I won't" he smiled at what I said.

We both laid in our beds staring at the ceiling. "we better both get to sleep. We need plenty of energy for tomorrow" I nodded and closed my eyes. I heard Peter move about restlessly so I opened my eye to see if he was OK. He was laid there with a slight frown on his face. His Adams apple bobbing up and down as he swallow. I closed my eyes focusing on a field with a picnic blanket laid on the ground. I imagined me and Peter there as the sun was setting. I then projected it to Peters mind. He was now with me in the field.

"I was just nodding off this better be go-" he stopped himself as he looked around. "it's a picnic. Like the one I promised to take you to on your 12th birthday" he smiled looking at the plates. "red velvet my favourite, you remembered". "barely" I replied. "do you want to go back so you can sleep?" I asked but he shook his head while looking at the sun. "I want to get to know you. The new you". "OK"

"what's your favourite colour?" I didn't really have a favourite. But I remembered one particular one.
"my favourite colour is Y/F/C. What's yours?" I asked. I remembered it being red but that was years ago. "red" he replied confirming my answer. "now hmm what's your favourite weather. Mine is" "a storm" I finished his sentence. "correct but what's yours?" I just said. "a storm" he smiled I guess our favourite weather being the same made him happy. "now this will have to be the last one. What's your favorite animal" I had never thought about what animal I liked the most. I remember papa telling us about jellyfish before. "jellyfish. I just find it funny the way they move" he looked confused at my answer. "what's yours?" I added. He never hesitated to answer. "bat's, I guess they just look cool"

I felt blood trickle down my nose and stopped. We where both back in the room in our beds. "sorry" I say wiping my nose. "it's fine, just please don't tire yourself out. You need to save that energy" he blew me a kiss and I blew one back. The room lights switched off and we both closed our eyes. I was thinking of freedom and Peter was probably thinking of red velvet cake.
