"I have no reason to worry about if you mean it or not. If you didn't mean it, it would come out sooner or later." It usually did, seeing as it appeared Mari had chosen her as the person to go to whenever Cayden did anything. Which she had to admit to herself, she was oddly happy over that, since it still hurt a little that Asteira had known about the stuff with Nicholai, and then there was the whole time where it had seemed like her cousin wanted to pretend she didn't exist. Seth ignoring her was one thing, but Asteira's ignoring her had hurt. So Mari coming to her about Cayden made her feel like she had a reason in their friendship. Even if she had a hard time being objective. She looked at him silently as he emphasized that she had helped Mari, not really feeling that it needed any more conversation. But as he chuckled, her expression darkened.

She sighed as he spoke about Robert, and his perception that he wasn't fond of Mari. "You're not exactly right with that. I certainly don't think Robert isn't fond of Mari. It took a while, because he was really hurt when she left him for you, but I think he's starting to try to be friends with her again. Maybe it's just because he knows I'm not going to abandon her, I'm not going to pretend that's not a possibility. But I think it's more that he's just not fond of her relationship with you," she explained, before lapsing into silence again as he started speaking like he knew Robert's mind. That bothered her a little, but arguing with Cayden wasn't worth it. But then he was back to questioning Robert's alleged hatred, and she fought to not roll her eyes. "Just because he may have, as you say, found what he was looking for in me, doesn't change how hurt he was at the beginning of this term. Which you have to admit, you had a large part in causing that hurt. It's not something you can just forget." She paused for a split second, before her eyes went back to Cayden sharply. His logic really was strange. "You're right about one thing, though. He should be grateful to me, but not because we're together. Because I didn't listen to you and abandon him like you were so worried I was going to do to Mari. What ended up happening between the two of us was just a really good outcome, that I certainly can say wasn't expected. So, in a really odd way, I guess I should thank you for making me determined to prove I didn't have to abandon either of them just because they'd broken up, since it brought me to where I am today."

She closed her eyes as she tried to relax the tension that had built during the conversation, unclenching the fists that she had made when she was railing at him, but listened as he spoke about what he had done. "It really is twisted, and if you don't mind, I'm not going to try and understand it," she said quietly, keeping her eyes closed until he spoke about offering his jacket. Opening her eyes again to look at him curiously, she said, "I'll be fine, but thanks for the offer." A tiny grin appeared on her face, though, in relation to his hope that she'd change around him. "As long as you don't try to think I'll stop being argumentative around you. Because that's just something you bring out in me. But I'll try to stop being so tense when you show up." She blinked as he thanked her again for helping Mari when he'd messed up, then shrugged. "I still don't know why I defended you either. But you're welcome. I'll always be there for Mari, just as long as you remember that." If it sounded like a threat, she didn't really care. She nodded as he spoke about being protected because of her friendship with Mari, glancing back in the direction of where Mari and Robert were, and as he said she could go back, she looked back at him. "Thank you. And I'll at least guarantee we'll remain civil. Friends might take some time." And at that statement, she turned to walk back toward the fire.

As she got back over near where she'd left her sleeping bag, she grinned at the sight of Robert lying there with his eyes closed. Sending a glance at Mari to tell her not to say anything, she walked up so she was standing right by his head, then nudged him lightly with her foot. "That's still my sleeping bag," she teased him, before kneeling down to move him over enough so she could sit down again.

"Ahh." Vanessa eyed both of the boys, something was up but she wasn't going to push them. "Okay." She smiled at them. Miles wasn't here yet so it didn't relly matter anyway.
"Miles wouldn't....hurt you anyway." She shook her head at Torin. "He's too nice."


Speaking of Miles, he here was. She smiled as she watched him come over. Yey now this camp would be really awesome.
"Hey Miles." She smiled at him, as he sat down next to her. Ooh. He liked camping? She had never known that. But it was really cool, and they'd most definetly need to go camping in the future. "Really? We better go camping our selves once we've graduated." Vannie nodded with a smile. They'd need a tent though.
"Where have you been anyway?" Vanessa asked, curious. He'd probably still been studying most likely.

"To... Say... Hi..." Rachel repeated, looking astounded. She had known from the very beginning that Livvy was crazy - but THIS was borderline insane. People do NOT say hi in the form of YELLING IN THE OTHER'S EARS AND SCARING THEM TO BITS. No sir. "No, no crime... Er, can I-" she began, then noticed that Reid had gotten up and was slightly distracted by the sight of his wand, when she focused back onto Livvy as she felt her reach for her hands.

Rachel gulped. This was weird - VERY weird. "Right, what? Oh yeah, erm, yes, kinda," she replied with a nod, not really knowing the right answer to that. True, they had been holding hands and true they had been REALLY close to one another and true that she had sort of forgotten that they were out in public but. . . If they had been doing only that, then Livvy hadn't really interrupted. Not really.

BUT - if Reid had maybe had other plans for the moment... ACK! This was confusing. And annoying. And so typical to Hogwarts drama. She suddenly had a flashback of that day in the library where she had shamelessly spied on Willow and Dominic, where seconds after they had left she had found a piece of parchment with 'Aparecium' written all over it stuck onto the back of the book she had been using as a cover reading.

Quietly, ever so quietly, Rachel listened as Reid answered Livvy himself - told her that she HAD interrupted something. And then she was beaming. Full on, shining in the dark grin that would have been hard to miss in the largest of crowds. Slightly embarrassed, she looked down at the ground and giggled slightly at Neko's reaction, all the while trying to swallow her smile.

Yet, she couldn't help but be happy. Livvy HAD interrupted them... Which means, in a way, that there had been something he was planning - right? Unless he hadn't planned anything and he just said that Livs had interrupted because he had felt the moment too?

Yup - it's official. The mixture of adorable guys and crazy best friends was NOT one that agreed with her.

"We, er, were lying on the ground... That should sort of hint at something," Rachel began, another blush creeping up her cheeks. Although this one was different that the one before - she was no not embarrassed of what she had been doing, but the fact that Livvy had seen them. Livvy was, after all, Rachel's bestest friend in the whole wide world and she SHOULD have told her about Reid.

But then again, what was there to tell? They weren't going out, and before today they had never even held hands or gotten so close. For all Rachel knew - Reid could be thinking that they were just very close friends. Although in the back of her mind something told her that it wasn't true. There WAS more between them than just friendship. In fact, Rachel didn't feel right when she called them friends because they WEREN'T - they were so much more.

Unbidden, a memory of her with Toshi floated in front of her eyes and she realised that however much she had liked him - it was nothing like now. With Toshi, she had been friends. . . And while she had thought there was more, in the end there wasn't. Not really. Which was why she had ended things with him - and then, two years later, Reid comes along.

"Erm, Reid..." she began, after realising that being in her own little world right now was not a very smart thing. After all, two of the three people that she most cared about were standing right here - talking to each other and arguing. The third of course was Jake, and Rachel could not be happier with the fact that he was NOT allowed on school grounds. . . A meeting with all THREE would have been something very memorable.

"This is my friend Olivia Zhang," she pointed towards Livvy, even though they had already introduced themselves to each other, "And Livs, this is Reid Hemingway, my..." she trailed off, not really knowing how to complete the sentence. Boyfriend? It felt right, but they technically were not together so she couldn't just say it.

Clearing her throat uncomfortably, she began again. "Yeah - erm, so now that you know him and said hello, Liv," Rachel fully turned to her, embarrassed yet again. "Do you mind...? I promise to come find you later," she nodded, emphasizing her point. It's not like she was mad at Livvy - SHE would have done something similar had she seen Livvy with Plymouth or someone.

Ooh my - Livvy and Plymmie. Now THERE's an odd thought.

Point is... She wasn't mad. She just wanted Livvy to leave - but then again, she wanted her to know Reid too since Rachel could only imagine what her friend would say to her once they were alone together.

This was all so very complicated.

Reid smiled at Rachel's confused, hesitant answer. It was clear that she was over analysing things again. Not that her answer was incorrect, after all he had just told Livvy that she had been interrupting. Oh who cared the point was that Rachel was very much adorable in that moment.

And she was still over thinking things. Reid wished he could see into her head to know what thoughts were causing that adorable look on her face. From the way she'd looked at him though he could guess they involved his answer and probably how to explain who he was to her friend. He could get why she wouldn't know how to explain.

He technically wasn't Rachel's friend, so classifying him as such would be wrong. Yet they weren't exactly more than that. Neither of them had yet defined their relationship, well at least not with each other. Reid knew that he wanted her to be his girlfriend, which is why he had brought Neko out with him, looked for her for ages and annoyed his friends with his lovesick talk about her. And of course the reason why he had just invited her to spend the holidays with him while shooting a film, thus creating an almost impossible schedule for himself.

"Boyfriend," Reid found himself saying when Rachel trailed off when introducing him, just like he had anticipated she would. The fact that he said it shocked him and he looked over to Rachel to see what her reaction would be, for once in his life nervous about what a girl would say. He'd said it instinctively because it felt right but he wasn't so sure what she would think about him telling her friend they had that type of relationship without even asking Rachel if she wanted to be his girlfriend first. Then again if it weren't for Livvy's untimely interruption he would have asked Rachel.

If it wasn't for the sudden silence between the three of them, Rachel would have bet a thousand galleons that she had imagined it. After all, there was NO WAY that he had just called her his... His... WOW. Well, technically, he had not called her his- yeah, but he had categorized HIMSELF as her - well, her boyfriend.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

The fifth year's facial expressions changed so quickly that it hurt her head - from confusion to utter delight to suspicion to uncertain to happiness to sadness to slight embarrassement to utter delight again - where it stayed.

"Really?" she whispered, her voice so low she wondered if he would be able to hear her over the babble of voices that intensified around them. This was... OFFICIALLY the best thing that had happened to her ever since she moved in with Jake. Definitely.

Her green gray eyes searched for his sparkling blue ones automatically, and she almost - almost! - forgot that Livvy was still there. But she didn't care; not really. Aha! Oh my...

Reid beamed when he saw the expressions that were flickering over her face, most of them positive. He was especially happy with the final expression that settled there. Utter Delight. He knew that he should have asked her earlier.

Nodding almost imperceptibly at her question, one which he had only been able to hear as he was listening for her reaction, he held out his hand, silently willing her to take it.

"Of course that is if that's the way you want to define us. Personally I don't really like the titles since I've come to realise that at times they can mean very little. But I do want that level of a relationship with you, I mean I think we're already on that level. I just never got a chance to officially ask, which I was planning on doing when Livvy decided it would be a good time to come say hello." Reid explained, hoping that she'd get what he was saying, while making sure that he was speaking low enough that no-one but Rachel would be able to hear what he said.

Rachel wasn't breathing. Taking the hand that he held out for her, the fifth year took a step forward towards him so that they were now fully face to face and listened silently as he talked, her heart thumping painfully in her chest. As he finished, Rachel began to see spots in her vision and realised that she'd better breathe before she collapsed. Nothing put people off more than fainting. . .

Gulping in oxygen, she nodded and began talking herself. "Reid, I would happily be your girlfriend," she said calmly - SO calmly in fact that she surprised even herself! And she hadn't even paused before she said 'girlfriend'. EEP!

Smiling slightly, and never letting her eyes off his, she raised herself on tiptoes and very slowly, pecked him on the cheek. Her heart thumped even more loudly now, as if it actually wanted to escape her rib cage. Stupid thing... There was no way Reid would not be able to hear it. Lowering herself back down, she searched his eyes for a reaction, wondering just how he would respond to that. She had been very bold. . . Maybe he didn't like that in a girl?

Reid stood completely still as she approached him, surprised that Neko who was still awake was content to be completely still and not demand attention for once. Obviously she realised just how important this moment was.

He stopped breathing for a moment when she stopped in front of him and his heart started to beat faster, the only indication of how happy and nervous he was feeling. Wondering if he should do something or not he looked down at Rachel and into her eyes, getting slightly lost in them.

He nearly began to jump in happiness when she said that she'd happily be his girlfriend. However he contained himself and let his eyes express everything he was too proud too. After all doing a happy dance in front of people would be way embarrassing and do nothing for his reputation, for he somehow knew that if he did anything like that the muggle press would get a hold of it through some source or another.

The feel of lips pressing against his cheek broke him from his thoughts. Blinking a few times he looked down at Rachel in slight surprise that she had been bold enough to kiss him. Then again a lot of girls were bold enough to do that. Eyes darkening slightly Reid determined that he would have to put a stop to that once and for all. He couldn't have others do that when it could hurt Rachel. Plus he didn't want them to kiss him anyway. Which was another good reason to have Rachel come with him to either America or France.

"Grrr." He roared from his position as what could only be described as a courier. A little happy feeling erupted as she rapped her little arms around his neck. Grinning his biiig major white teeth smile, he attempted to turn around so that he could get a better look at her, and then realised that she was still on his back. Epic fail on his part, once again.

"NOOO! I admitted it for your sake! Gosh, so you'd stop teasing meeeeh!" He complained at the same level as she'd proclaimed the total untruth. "Guh, it's coool. I guess I'll survive it." He rolled his eyes for what, the ten millionth time that hour. "ME?! Loud?! That's pretty darn rich coming from yoou!" He exclaimed, both of his eyebrows shooting up at the accusation. Snorting slightly at her words, he could feel himself getting protective of this girl who he'd met, like, twice. The guy she like was obviously dumber than those guys who dressed up as Santa for Halloween, and with pink hair he just looked really silly. "What d'you see in him?" He asked before he could stop himself... Or notice that the question might be just slightly offensive.

Shana smiled,She hugged him in a sort of way,More hugging his neck but still a hug.She smiled again.Ashton,Your the best big brother i've ever had. No,She wasn't being mean to her reaal brother,But he was like not around much so Ashton was the best.She beamed.

Ergh.Fine,Fine whatever you say.But I know you like her really. she sniggered,and hugged his neck once more.Yes You Loud! She rolled her eyes,he seriously had to ask didnt he ? She rolled her eyes,not that he could see.I dunno,I just do okay ?

Mariel mirrored Sarah's movements and got into her own cozy sleeping bag, then turned to look up at her incredulously. She had spoken as she had been in the thick of the situation, which Sarah soon confirmed to be true. "You were there?" she asked, still staring at the Hufflepuff with wide eyes. "Wow," she breathed in a low voice, clearly impressed with the story of Sarah's adventure. And although it sounded exciting, Mariel wasn't completely sure that she would have wanted to participate in something that sounded equally scary.

Finishing off the last off her s'more, Mariel nodded thoughtfully as she stared off at a random spot in the distance. "Sure," she nodded. "I'm sure I can find time to get away for a while." And although it was true that her father was no Muggle lover - extending to Muggle-borns as well, the fact that he seemed so busy with his new wife and family often allotted Mariel more freedom than she had in the past - plus she was nearly 15. "Yes, I will be there," she confirmed with a nod of her head as she focused her attention back to her friend. She was certain she would find a way to spend some time with Sarah over the summer.

Mariel glanced down at the seemingly-reassuring hand on her shoulder, then looked up at Sarah, matching her quizzical expression. "Oh... no, I'm fine," she began slowly. Sarah had thought something was the matter with her. "I was just... hoping you were okay after what was written in the Aparecium last week," she said quietly so the people around would not hear. Certainly Sarah had one of those magically changing parchments, the whole school seemed too after it was mixed in with some homework at the beginning of term. And although Mariel was typically not one for gossip, the juicy news of the rag became somewhat addicting. "But you seem to be in such a good mood today... maybe you and Ryder already worked things out..." Of course, Mariel wasn't so sure she'd would be quite as forgiving if it had been her. Then again, Sarah was such an agreeable person that maybe she took things like that in stride... though that didn't mean she should be a doormat either, right? Her mind was in such a state of conflict. Taking a deep breath, she added, "I'm always here if you need to talk." Even if it was about confusing things like boys.

Mari kept standing while Robert moved to lay back on the ground, her slight awkwardness still with her until he spoke again. " Really?" She said, genuinely happy for him. " That's fantastic, congratulations...and I can't blame you, I'd prefer Chasing or Keeping myself." She said, smiling at him. Then he went quite again and she didn't know what to say to him. She just wanted Cayden and Elizabeth to come back and end this weird awkwardness.
Just then, Mari turned to see Elizabeth coming back to the awkward little group and she smiled andnodded when her friend indicated that she didn't want Robert to know she was back. Mari watched, amused at the way Robert and Elizabeth were with one another. She laughed as Elizabeth teased Robert about her sleeping bag and then looked over her shoulder, wondering if Cayden was coming back too.

Robert looked at Mariska and smiled, "Yup, I start training right after term lets out." Hearing her comment about preferring Chasing to keeping he laughed, "You mean Beating...beaters deal with bludgers Mari." He broke out into a fit of laughter the first he'd had around Mariska in a long time, "Though if you'd seen the last game of mine you'd be right. I make a lousy Keeper. Though I was worried about Liz so I suppose that should account for something." Sighing he leaned back again still chuckling to himself. It felt good to laugh and be himself around her. Not as weird. His thoughts trailed off as his worry about Liz returned and he kept his eyes closed not wanting to keep looking over there.

With all the talking around him he hadn't heard anyone walk up until he felt someone pushing his side and a familiar voice. Opening his eyes he looked up at Liz with a smirk, "Is it now?" He watched as she kneeled down and attempted to move him, "Now you know that's not going to work...." Lifting his arm up he wrapped it around Liz and pulled her down practically on top of him, moving only slightly so she had enough room to lie down next to him. Turning his head he studied her for a moment making sure nothing was wrong before kissing her. "Now...I heard something about s'mores..."

Well, that was a relief. He liked this Uncle Henry dude already, though he refrained from commenting. Instead he just smirked. Hugging would be something that slightly nauseated him, but at least Fyo wouldn't be sucking on her face in front of him.

"So you wouldn't snog her even if Uncle Henry wasn't around? Well, tell me that you at least snogged her before." It would be a sad thing to find out that he had kissed Alice more than her own boyfriend had ever done.

He just cast Fyo a look that said 'watch what you say from now on' and pretended nothing had happened.

Aah, it seemed that his lie had worked. Well done, Torin, he thought giving himself a mental pat on the back. "Well, that's good to know," he added as said boyfriend suddenly joined them. "Hey, Miles. I see you are all pumped for this." He cast a smile in the direction of the Slytherin and thought that he would miss him almost as much as Vannie.

Livvy just stood there, watching as something went on between this... boy and her best friend. Guess she couldn't expect everyone to follow her way and her opinion on... 'love'. After what had happened between her and Chase, Livvy believed that whatever that was... she didn't want to go through it anymore.

Yet she still couldn't help but feel a tad bit hurt that Rachel hadn't told her anything. Even though they just established this boyfriend and girlfriend relationship a few moments ago, she used to tell her everything. Even the littlest of things. Guess they weren't too close anymore, eh? It was like that when Chase and Whit had got together, and they spent all their time together and left Livvy all alone. Maybe it was better if her friends were little boys who were still afraid of cooties. They'd still be by her side.

But she couldn't blame Rachel for not telling her about Reid... after all... Livvy had never told Rachel about Chase. But it hurt too much to think about it. Her mistakes and the feelings back then were too unbearable for a fourteen-year-old to take.

Yet.... here was Rachel... looking quite happy with this guy and Livvy felt so small and invisible. A part of her wanted a bit of companionship. Was she going crazy? She wanted companionship now? Hormones must be getting to her... yes... and now that Rachel has a boyfriend... it just added on.

Even though Livvy felt happy for Rachel, she wondered if their friendship was at an end. After all, she had heard many stories and seen it many times where the girl neglects her best friend and chooses her boyfriend over her. But Livvy wouldn't blame Rachel if she chose her boyfriend. He was pretty cute, no matter how unpleasant he was, and well Livvy...... she was just... Livvy.

Smiling gently, she turned to the two boys. "Come on boys... let's leave these two alone... where would you like to go?" Livvy asked, putting a hand on both their shoulders as she steered them away.

Listening, trying to memorize everything just in case he passed out and she had to relay important medical history to the nurse, Wesley's head was whirling faster than a flushed toilet. When he finally finished, she was torn between telling him that he had never been crazy, only full of life, and asking what sugar had to do with anything. Unless...did marshmallows have sugar in them? The Hufflepuff was slightly horrified by the fact that such fluffy things could be made of hard grainy crystals. That was so...wrong. And mean. Because now Jake was sick. So they where bad, because they made him-Wait! No! I made him sick! Because I threw it! I hit him! And now- and now! I've poisoned him!!! He said that the potion was going to help him, but then he said things didn't go right. So that means its not working. That means that he's going through the hyper twitching stage now and then he's going to get ill! And if he had to go to the hospital, that meant it was life threatening! AND LIFE THREATENING ILLNESSES END IN DEATH!

Eyes wide, Wesley felt like she was going to start crying, "J-jake, are you going to die?"

Oh, I've killed him! I've killed him!!! It's all my fault!

After some running around, Constantine had finally managed to take a seat on the ground, on top of his sleeping bag. Roma had settled down beside him, placing her head in his lap while he absentmindedly stroked her head. Ahhh, it was such a beautiful night...definitely one of his best ideas...

"Just ignore it Hayley!" Pietro fixed himself another smore and started looking at the campfire again. "You know what I've always wanted to do? I've always wanted to be able to walk through fire and not get burned. I think that would be one of the coolest things ever!" Pie started daydreaming about being from a family that would allow him to take on such a dangerous task. "Too bad my family would never go for it. They make brooms you know. Racing brooms back at home." They didn't REALLY make racing brooms but that was a great cover for what they really did, no?

Hayley tore her eyes away from the catastrophe that was the pantsless boy and his friends. Pietro was back to talking about fire and wanting to walk through fire. "Hmm..maybe there's a shield spell you could find...or invent...discover?...whatever...I'm sure there's a way to walk through fire-" then she was interrupted by Pie talking about his family disapproving. "Man..families are like, made to destroy our every dream, ya know? What racing brooms does your family make? My sister works in the Department of Magical Transportation at the Ministry, not in Broom one, but whatever. Brooms are cool. And you can use them to sweep if you can't find your wand or whatever."
Hayley quieted down and munched upon another S'more...or was it smosh? She couldn't remember. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...gooey and smooshy...and burny..andandandglowwwyyy

"I..have never used a racing broom to sweep. I've never seen that done! It sounds kinda boring, though. I mean why would you use something as cool as a broom for...cleaning!?" Pietro was shocked at the fact that people actually used brooms for other than racing. When Hayley asked the name of Pie's family's broom company, he had to think really hard to come up with a very Italian name for a non-existent broom company. He wasn't aware of any relatives that worked with brooms so he had to think carefully. "Um they make diavolo racing brooms. The Italian Quidditch team uses them."

"Well, I never used a racing broom to sweep either, but I'm sure it's been done in a pinch." He was very touchy about racing brooms, apparently. "So yeah...Diavolo huh? When I went to Italy on vacation last year I had Pizza Diavolo! It was all spicy and stuff." Hayley remembered the pain of all those hot spices assaulting her tongue last year, the way her face got all red and sweaty...and the tears falling down her cheeks. Man..that sucked.

Hayley searched her mind to change the subject from brooms (which seemed to make Pie edgy) and diavolo pizza, which made her eyes burn with the pain of remembrance.

"So..I named my wand Steve..."

"I love Pizza Diavolo! We had it the day before I came to school! It's so spicy but I love it. It's the only way to eat pizza in my opinion." Pietro was really craving some of that pizza now. "Oh where did you go in Italy? Do you go every summer!?" Pie got excited thinking of having a friend over...then he remembered he was gonna be at his aunt's the whole summer which was in a different place than his hometown. Maybe he'd see Cela since she mentioned being in Italy during the summer. Hopefully. Pie blinked when Hayley mentioned her named wand. "I named mine Kevin. They can be buddies."

Cope grinned at Cela and finally managed to sit up and balance in that sitting position. Breathing was normal. Hooray!

"See, Daphne? Cela is a dessert too. A very rich and fancy dessert, just like tiramisu." He tilted his head, watching Daphne and Cela cuddle up together. Erm. Was he expected to put his arm around Crocker? He'd rather cuddle with Cela, to be honest.

"What flavor am I?"

"Meh..I like just mozzarella and tomato sauce pizza. Thin crust." Ooohhh..Piiiizzzzaaaa...
"Uhm. I went to Rome, Florence, Venice, Naples. We typically go either every summer or if we can't go in the summer we go in the winter over Christmas. My mom's side of the family...well, most of them, live kind of scattered about Italy." She thought about all the summers she'd spent at beaches all over Italy. And the multiple sunburns...ouch.

"Kevin huh!? Cool! Kevin and Steve will be SUCH good friends," Hayley exclaimed, patting her pocket where Steve was 'sleeping'.

Cela tipped her head back and crossed her eyes and poked her tongue out at Garret and then gave him a big grin. Looked like he'd been in the sun too long! She made a mental note to get him some sunblock potion.

Wait.

WAIT!

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee --OHhh!-- EeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeWWWWWWWYUCKY!

"He got you too?" The idea of Garret being horrible was water off a ducks back, but Varius Tipps liplaunching at Daphne as well? "See it wouldn't be so bad if V were a good kisser, but he just... ugh. Really, what is it with boys just kissing girls without any warning or anything?" Cela looked back at Garret sternly, "YOU better practice on your hand or something before launching at anyone because MY best friends have to be GOOD kissers, okay?"

Cel peeked over at Copernicus and added, "It was only good one of the surprising times, might have been the tree though!"

"Chocolate-covered caramel marshmallow, washed down with a cool glass of water" Cela whispered at Daphne and giggled a bit, clinging to her friend.

She rolled over to face Daphne and away from the boys. "We have to talk about this kissing thing more and other things, I have things too."
