Layla laughed as she replied, "Don't tell me that Stella has rubbed off on you! I mean, isn't matchmaking her forte?" With mock severity, she continued, "Flora, I don't think Stella will appreciate you treading on her turf."

"Think of it as practice for the next formal event your going to have to attend. But you can use me as an excuse not to." Bloom offered as she leaned into Sky and put placed her head on his shoulder. "I'll take on the hardship of being the birthday boy's protector." Suppressing the urge to smile, Sky's eyes danced as he replied, "That is very gracious of you, Bloom. In fact, I think I shall have to take you up on that offer." Pulling her closer to him, Sky rested his cheek against the top of her head. Quietly he whispered as he squeezed her hand, "I'm glad things are right between us again." |

"No," Stella said slowly. "No, I don't." Giving Brandon a quick kiss on the cheek, she smiled faintly as she finished, "I think she needs to be alone right now." "I concur to the person with more knowledge in the field. So since I get to keep you today, care to dance?" Brandon asked with a twinkle in his eye. |

Christine thought it was strange - she was missing Shadowhaunt and the Dark Prince that dwelt within. Granted, he was evil but at least he at least showed her some warped form of affection.
She bowed her head and softly sang to herself. "Is this a dream? If it is, please don't wake me from this high... I've become comfortably numb until you opened up my eyes to what it's like when everything's right... I can't believe... You found me when no one else was lookin'... How did you know just where I would be? Yeah, you broke through all of my confusion... The ups and the downs and you still didn't leave... I guess that you saw what nobody could see - you found me... You found me... So, here we are... That's pretty far... When you think of where we've been... No going back... I'm fading out all that has faded me within... You're by my side, now everything's fine... I can't believe... You found me when no one else was lookin'... How did you know just where I would be? Yeah, you broke through all of my confusion... The ups and the downs and you still didn't leave... I guess that you saw what nobody could see... You found me... You found me... And I was hiding 'til you came along and showed me where I belong... You found me... You found me when no one else was lookin'... How did you know? How did you know? You found me when no one else was lookin'... How did you know just where I would be? Yeah, you broke through all of my confusion... The ups and the downs and you still didn't leave... I guess that you saw what nobody could see... You found me... You found me when no one else was lookin' - You found me... How did you know just where I would be? You broke through all of my confusion. The ups and the downs and you still didn't leave... I guess that you saw what nobody could see. The good and the bad and the things in between... You found me... You found me..."

With mock severity, she continued, "Flora, I don't think Stella will appreciate you treading on her turf." Flora laughed quietly. "Well, I just want her to be happy. After what Darkar did... she needs happiness." She closed her eyes and shook her head. "He really liked torturing the seer, especially emotionally." |

"I concur to the person with more knowledge in the field. So since I get to keep you today, care to dance?" Brandon asked with a twinkle in his eye. Pretending to be coy, Stella peered up at Brandon through lowered lashes. Fluttering them comically, Stella clasped her hands together over her chest as she teased, "A big, strong man like yourself wants to dance with little old me? Why, I think I just might swoon dead away . . ." Not able to keep the act up any longer, Stella burst into a fit of giggles as she tugged Brandon toward the dance floor. "Of course I want to dance, silly." |

"He really liked torturing the seer, especially emotionally." "True, she does need happiness," Layla said diplomatically. "And you know the best way for her to get happy? I'll tell you how - she needs to put Sky behind her and move forward. What's done is done and there's no use dwelling on it. Besides, there are many much better opportunities out there waiting for her, but the only way she'll discover them is if she moves on with her life." |

"I suppose," Flora said. "I just wish Sky wouldn't encourage her hopes and then shatter them. He's really a beast sometimes, Layla."

"Hmm." was all that Bloom said as a response as she entwined her fingers with his. She was quite happy just to sit here with his arms around her. |

Wryly, Layla replied, "You know, sometimes I just have to wonder if Sky does the things he does intentionally because he's a jerk or accidentally because he's just an . . . idiot. Well, whichever reason it is, my feelings for Sky still haven't changed that much. Except now I don't so much hate him as much as I prefer not to spend extended periods of time around him - anything much longer than a few minutes, and my skin begins to crawl. He just rubs me the wrong way." |

"Hmm." was all that Bloom said as a response as she entwined her fingers with his. She was quite happy just to sit here with his arms around her. Closing his eyes for a moment, Sky's shoulders drooped slightly. All of the sudden he felt exhausted and utterly worn down - almost as though he had been wrestling dragons all day. Suppressing a yawn, Sky glanced around the room at the crowds of people enjoying themselves. Because of Christine. Internally, Sky knew that he should go find her and thank her for putting together something as special as this, but a part of him was reluctant. After that run in he had had with her in the kitchen . . . he didn't know. Things just felt so strange and uncomfortable between them that he wasn't looking forward to a repeat. Still . . . he owed it to her to at least let her know that her work hadn't gone unnoticed. Giving Bloom a quick kiss on the temple, Sky slowly pulled away and stood up. "Umm . . . I'm feeling a little claustrophobic with all these people in here - you won't mind if I go step out on the balcony for a minute, would you, Bloom?" Without waiting for a reply, he squeezed her hand and then called over his shoulder as he walked away, "I'll be back in a flash." |

"Of course I want to dance, silly." Following Stella out on to the dance floor, Brandon just smiled at Stella's antics. Reaching the dance floor, Brandon pulled her into his arms. "I would prefer that you don't swoon as I have a thing for your endearing personality. But if you must swoon this big, strong man will catch you." Brandon teased back,as they danced about the floor. |

"And just what exactly about my endearing personality do you most like?" Stella teased as she lightly tapped her index finger against Brandon's nose. "Of course, I'm fishing for compliments - you shouldn't judge me though, because this is just what girls do."

Without waiting for a reply, he squeezed her hand and then called over his shoulder as he walked away, "I'll be back in a flash." "Now like l have a choice in that matter." Bloom muttered to herself as Sky vanished from her sight. Bloom just sat were she was, there was nothing she could really do. |

"Of course, I'm fishing for compliments - you shouldn't judge me though, because this is just what girls do." "So only girls can judge people? But as you are fishing for compliments. What kind of compliments are you after, cup cake? Some thing complimenting your beauty, your talents or your witty way with words." Brandon asked, his eyes sparkling with mirth. |
