"The Wintringhams?" He thought about it. Though he was pretty sure his parents knew of them, they weren't exactly the kind of parents to share that information with their children, or take said children to any kind of social engagement, "No, do any of them attend Hogwhat are you doing?"

There were fingers aimed at his face, with cake between them. He looked from her fingers, to her face, and back again, trying not to go cross-eyed. Was... really? She wanted him to eat off her fingers?

"Um... isn't this a little...?"

Hmph. See? They weren't nearly as big as they thought were. Neptune was PLEASED and offered no explanation as to who they were.

The cake crumbled through her fingers, making a mess of the table below. Kellen got the that is YOUR fault look while Neptune wiped her fingers off on her napkin.

"A little what, Kellybear?"

Fee sat down at one of the empty tables.
Today it wasnt to croweded and Fee thanked god for that.
Sipping on her white hot chocolate she waited for Edmond to arrive.

Edmond walked in and couldn't help but smile when he saw Feenella. He wasn't sure how he was going to explain what happened to him, but she deserved to know. He got a hot chocolate on his way and then sat down. "Hey," he grinned. He wasn't sure on how to begin.

Fee smiled at Edmond as he arrived with a cupnin his hand.
"Hey handsome."
She took a deep breath and looked straight into his eyes.
"So.. what happend?"
Fee's heart was racing and her stomach hurt but she wanted to know it now.

Edmond took a steady breath. "So you know how I told you about my cousins." he said, "Well, I saw them over the holidays and they weren't very happy." Ed paused and then continued, "They...I...Feenella I tried to stand up to them." he said, disappointedly, his eyes beginning to sting. He really had, but they were stronger and ended up beating him worst than ever. Ed still had lingering bruises on his body.

"Not entirely appropriate?" he finished, eyebrow raising at that look. It was not his fault that she was pinching a crumbly shortcake and putting it towards his mouth. Actually.

But, looks often were followed by pouts, and he didn't want to start another episode like Mt. Neptune. Despite being in Antarctica, it seemed to erupt rather often. This in mind, he picked up his fork and sectioned off a bite-sized piece of cake, holding it up for her, "See? Forks are much better."

Also less likely to get them kicked out.

Fee's eyes grew wide in shock.His cousins....
"Edmond, i am so sorry", she said tears running down her face,"its all my fault. I told you to stand up to them. I am sorry."

Oh my god. She was such a bad girlfriend.She should have known better.

"What did they do to you", she asked him with a shaking voice,"i am here. Everything will be okay. We get trough this. Together nothing can stop us.Please Edmond."

Fee placed her hands above Edmond's,she was afraid to hurt him so she just laid them down.

They were close face to face now and she noticed a little scar on his cheekbone.

His cheekbone?! They hit him in the face?!
She took one hand and stroked the scar.
"Does that hurt?"

"Better is debatable," BUT GIGGLE! Kellen Stern was feeding her! Neptune leaned forward and accepted, CLEARLY pleased.


See how she ended up with the bigger piece of cake after all?


"I didn't know you were all worried about the cleanliness of my fingers and all." They were PERFECTLY clean, thank you very much. Neptune demonstrated by using her fingers to pinch off a piece of her cake and adding it to the bite she'd already accepted from Kellen. See? Fine. "You don't really seem the type."

"Not that kind of better," though yes, there was something to be said about using utensils washed with soap between each usage. Kellen gave her one of his own looks, the one that said she perhaps wasn't giving him enough credit, "The 'let's not get kicked out for being kind of racy' better. Because eating off each others' fingers is... that."

He went to get some cake for himself, only to realize that he'd just used his fork for... oh, whatever. Kellen cut himself a bite and ate it. See, Neptune? Not worried about germs.

Cass smiled at her friend's words. Then she frowned "I haven't talked to him in a while though...I terribly miss him..."

"Well we could always go into Honey Dukes, or Three Broomsticks for a butterbeer. Umm..." Kale was trying to think of where they all could go and see. "Or we could stay here.." Kale didn't even realize he was leaning in toward Lani's face. He wanted to kiss her really bad, but then again he wasn't sure if they were ready for this. But his body was not matching what his head was telling him to do. He just keep leaning in hoping that he wasn't going to get rejected.

Lexi plopped down into a seat inside of Puddifoot's and smiled as she saw the mass amounts of pink and cutesy little things about the shop. Finlay would probably not like the place, but Lex thought it was awfully quaint.

Pulling off her gloves, hat, and scarf she smiled and ran a hand through her hair. She was kind of nervous about meeting Finlay today because even though it was not his birthday yet she had a gift for him already. :) After removing her peacoat she fiddled witht he package in the left pocket and waited.

This shop was awfully...girly. Finn kinda of stared a little, as he pulled Lexi's chair out for her. It was very pink, and not even in a manly way. He was very disappointed.

Once she was sat down, he sat down in the chair opposite her, pulling his grey scarf off. Mmm. It was rather nice and warm, so he totally didn't need to wear it. "So....it's nice in here." Okay that was kind of a bit lame, but he didn't really know what else to say. He'd never been on datey date like this before. He'd even snogged Lexi before he'd even asked her out! His was not this kind of guy. Haha.

Lexi smiled at Finn and shook her head, "You don't have to pretend that this place doesn't want to make you vomit. I know it is not at all manly babeh." She sat patiently until she couldn't take it anymore. Reaching back into her pocket she pulled out the neatly wrapped gift box and set it on the table. "I couldn't wait anymore. I got you this for your birthday, love."

Finn laughed at what she said, and he smiled at her. "It's not....that bad." Okay it was, but he did want to make her happy, and as long as she didn't ever drag him in here again then he would be happy. He couldn't help the smile that was on his face when she pulled a gift box out. She would be the first person that had actually gotten him something for his birthday that didn't have too. "Lex..." He didn't really know what to say. She was too perfect. "Thank you."

Lexi smiled at Finlay and shook her head again. He was so lovely not to mention that the place was drastically pink and whatnot. She ordered herself a cup of pink tea and got Finlay a butterbeer as she waited for him to open the gift and reveal the necklace. She knew it was kind of corny, but she really loved him and wanted to show him. She finally said, "Well open it up, silly!"

Finn held the little gift box in his hand, as he looked at her. He didn't want to open it, he wanted to leave it until his birthday, but he had a feeling that Lexi wouldn't let him. He laughed at what she said. "I'm savouring the moment." He stuck his tongue out at her, before laughing again. Finally he opened the box, and carefully pulled out the necklace. It had a key on it. He looked confused for a moment, and looked up at her. "A Key?"

Lexi rolled her eyes and thought about taking the box and opening it herself if he didn't. Once he got it open and pulled out the necklace she smiled wider still. She took in his expression and giggled. "Yes, a key. The key to my heart, love," she said quietly and blushed slightly. Would he like it or would he think it was lame and laugh at her? She was uber nervous about it to the point that she began to fidget a bit.

Finn held the necklace in his hand, looking at it. It was cute, although he didn't exactly know that it was for. It wasn't like he had something to unlock or lock. Oh. That. He could unlock that. Finn smiled at her, leaning forward, and taking her hand. "Cute..." He nodded with a smile, as he placed the necklace on the table gently, still looking at her. "Thank you very much Lexi....it's very nice." He noodded, speaking truthfully. He really liked it.

Lexi let out a breath she hadn't realized she was holding when Finlay took her hand and told her it was cute and thanked her. She positively beamed at him and said, "I was so worried you wouldn't like it! Do you want me to put it on you?" She stood up and rounded the table where she bent down and planted a little smooch on his cheek as she waited for him to hand her the necklace.

Finn smiled at her, as he glanced down at the necklace again. He probably would've thought that it was totally stupid this time last year, but now he really thought that it was something. "You shouldn't have worried, I like it a lot." He looked up at her smiling, as he picked up the necklace, handing it over to him. "Does this mean I can have you forever?" He grinned at her. He was having her forever anyway.

Lexi smiled again and blushed once more as she took the necklace and clasped it around his neck. Instead of going back to her side of the table she pulled up the chair that was right beside him and plopped down and rested her head on his shoulder. "You can have me forever and always, Finlay Carmichael, if that is what you truly want. I know that I will never want anyone else," she said softly. She was sure he was her soulmate. When you know, you know.
