OH YEAH! THIS IS WHERE IT REALLY GETS ROMANTIC! ^ ^

Does anyone actually commonly use words like jazzed or slammin', or is it just in cartoons? I want to meet someone who does.. :L

Love is always bestowed as a gift -

Freely, willingly and without expectation..

We don't love to be loved; we love to love.

But perhaps it is too early..

In this case..

For love to be given.

...The castle, in the murmur room...

Phobos became weak without revuvination. The pool no longer provided adequit power for him. He had absorbed most of the Metaworld's energy; including it's suns' fires. It grew weaker as his hunger grew larger for more power. More magic. "The need to find my sister has never been greater. On Earth time continues always at the same rate. It has been thirteen Earth-years since they took her. She had not even recieved a name."

Cedric nodded as the words blew to his ears in hushed tones. "I can use the Earth cities' birth records to find her my liege."

"Good. If we find all of those who were born there, we can narrow the search to those who were not."

...Heatherfield, Sheffield Institute...

"Are you sure you don't want to invite just 25 or 30 of your closest friends over?" Will raised an eyebrow and looked at her mother as if the woman had suggested bathing in the sewer.

"No mom. Not even just 25 or 30 of them."

"Okay, my birthday girl, but remember; no matter how old you get; you'll always be my pink, perky, poopy, pumpkin."

Will Vandom slammed the car door and turned to Irma, who stood behind her. Irma smiled with interest, "Soo.. It's your birthday."

"Friday. Promise you wont do anything stupid like throw me a surprise party."

"Oh I love surprise parties!" Irma grinned at Will, who in turn glared at the brunette. Irma turned her nose up and straightened her features. "And by that I mean I hate and dispise them." Will smirked.

...Lunchtime in the school cafeteria...

Pupils lined up with their trays, but once sat down, few actually did more than pick at their food.

"Does this look cooked to you?" Taranee scrutinized the carrot on the end of her fork.

Cornelia palmed her face, "Taranee, it's a carrot! It doesn't even need to be cooked! The only way it can harm you is if you're mugged by rabbits."

Irma excitedly shoved her tray on the table, "GUESS who's birthday it is Friday!"

Hay Lin gasped excited, she was great at this. "I KNOW, I KNOW! ...Okay, I don't know.." She was usually great at this.

Taranee then looked down at a pea and Cornelia wailed with frustration, "It's a pea. EAT IT!"

"It's Will's birthday Friday."

Hay Lin's eyes lit up, "Are we gonna throw her a party!"

"No. She made me promise not to." Irma looked around for the girl and spotted her in the lunch que. "Oh! I've got to warn her about the fish, 'cause I think this was breaded when they caught it! HELLO WILL!" Everyone looked up and Will's gaze focused on the boy in front of her's back. "PINK PERKY POOPY PUMPKIN!" She'd thought she'd escaped without a joke on that.

Irma lazily drifted over to her, and Cornelia huddled the girls closer, as Elyon sat down. "We have to throw Will a party!"

"Can't we just throw her?" Elyon gazed over to the nearby table of tenth graders.

Hay Lin's focuse skipped between the blonde and the distant redhead. "Weren't you listening? Will didn't want a party! she made Irma promise she wouldn't!" At this Elyon looked up.

"Irma doesn't have to!" Elyon gleamed.

Cornelia took the encouraging words well and understood what her friend meant, finishing her sentence for her. "But we will! This way, Irma gets what she wants. A party for Will. AND she doesn't have to break her promise!"

"But.. Will didn't want a party..?" Taranee gave Cornelia and Elyon a sceptical look, these girls weren't exactly top of Will's fan club.

"She'll be jazzed. And don't look at me like that. If I ever threw a bad party my rep would drop. It'll be slammin'!" She smiled, "Elyon and I will go with Alchemy to get the decorations, and all we need is a place to hold it!"

"Why not your place?" Taranee asked suspiciously.

"Uh.. Problem. My last part was so unbelievably great; my parents say I can't have another until after I've left home.."

"Look, we'll find the venue if you take Caleb. It's not fair that he's stuck indoors all day.. And my grandma is going a little nuts with him always annoying her with questions.." Hay Lin said the last sentence a little muffledly, but it didn't matter. At the mention of Caleb, Cornelia's face had lit up.
