I was the first to wake up today, and I didn't feel mean enough to wake Kyle up, so I got into the shower while he was sleeping - sound didn't often wake him, touch did. After the quick shower and brushing my teeth and stuff, I went back into the bathroom in my towel, having thrown my PJs in the laundry basket, and went to pick out an outft. It seemed that Sunny had other plans, though. She had clearly woken up way too playful for her own good and, as soon as she came over, started tugging on my towel, pulling it lose. "Hey!" I whispered to my Golden Retriever. "Give that back!" But she wasn't listening, she was too busy tearing it to shreds. With her teeth digging into one corner, doggy instincts took over and I crouched to take the other corner with my own teeth, starting up a tug of war with a whole lot of growling in the hopes to reclaim my towel. Even if I did get the towel back, I'd need a new one now, but that wasn't the point! The point was winning and showing Sunny who's the alpha female around here!

So I had my beautiful girlfriend back and things had started to go back to normal; video games, snuggling and even fading every now and then. Today was one of the video games and I had just kicked Alix's *ss in SuperSmashBros Brawl. After rubbing in her face juuust a little - we could both be competitive -, I gave her kisses to make up for it, making her lie back on the rec room's couch with me hovering over her in the process. I was reluctant to pull away from her soft lips, but I did so eventually in order to speak up about something I'd be meaning to talk about simce last night. "So, Miss Taken," I murmured, nuzzling her neck slightly. "Would you like to go on a date with me tonight? We can go anywhere you want, just say the word and I'll arrange it." We hadn't really celebrated being back together yet; it was about time we did that.

Sammi had her first interview with a law firm today and, since it was a Saturday, I didn't have work, so I soent the majority of the day looking up some random wedding c*** that I had to do like suits and speeches and non-religious vows. It was all a big blur of 'WTF' to me and eventually I gave up, settling for cooking my girl the most elaborate dinner I could think up. Which was just chicken with cheese in the middle in a tomatoey sauce with pasta. Eh, it would do. It placed the meals - I had cooked for me, too, obviously - on Sammi's desk along with a bottle of white wine and two glasses. Luckily, she returned soon afterwards while I was trying to deal with a Yuki who was digging her class into my thigh. Once the damn cat was dealt with, I gave my fiancée a small smile. "You don't have to say how it went if you don't want to," I told her, gesturing over to the food, "Buuut, I did cook some fancy stuff. Whether it's comfort food or celebratory food is entirely up to you, but I thought I'd put in a little effort today." Which, actually, probably wasn't a brilliant idea, because if things went badly, Sammi would probably be desperate for Chinese food right now. Damn it!

With everything that had happened with regards to Abby recently, Daniel had set up a little meeting of sorts with her, making sure that life in general was ok, she was getting enough therapy and was feeling both mentally a physically well. Abigail had allowed me to sit in on the conversation and I must say, I found it rather intriguing; listening to how she coped with such a dangerous mental disorder. At the moment it seemed as if she was finding strength within her partner, but should she not be finding the strength within herself? Perhaps that was something Abby had yet to work on. Anyway, once the coversation was over and Abby had left, I draped my arms around Daniel's neck - I was sitting on the bed with him - and pressed a kiss to his stubbly jaw. "What shall we do now, my love?" I asked, looking over to the clock. It was slowly approaching 7pm, so an activity that didn't require going out would've been preferable.

So, since Nathalie and I were officially boyfriend and girlfriend again, I figured I'd take her out for the day. Sure, it was cold, but we could always dress up warmly and... I don't know, walk in the park, grab a bite to eat at lunchtime, you know, something couples didn't that didn't require too much effort and planning. First, though, Nat needed to wake up and have breakfast. I made her pancakes with some sort of berry sauce over it, trying to pick the healthier option, and headed upstairs. I didn't walk straight in like I would've a year ago, knowing that it'd probably take Nat a little while to remember me so, yeah, having what seemed to be a stranger in your room was not good. No, instead of walking right in and risking being beat up, I knocked and waited for Nathalie to answer. Once she recognized me, she'd allow me into her room. It just took a little patience, is all.

I swear I'd never get tired of waking up next to Elsa. To go from being a workaholic who's only sleeping companion was an alarm clock to a loved and cherished boyfriend who had the pleasure of waking up to a beautiful woman most mornings... It was amazing, really. A year ago I would've laughed at the thought of this happening, and now here I was, cuddling into my girlfriend's back. I couldn't see her face, but I knew from previous times that it probably looked peaceful and rather adorable right now and the way she pressed back into me, as if she craved that closeness and affection, made my heart swell a couple sizes. I smiled softly at the sleeping figure, lightly trailing my hand down the side of her body to rest of the curve of her hip, enjoying the tranquil feeling that came with the quiet relaxing morning. A quiet, relaxing morning that was about to end.

Since I was going away in a couple weeks, I decided it was best to have some one-on-one time with my sister, away from our friends and away from our partners, to make up for time we'd lose. That's why I got up super early this morning - well, super early for me, at least - and was dressed and ready by 9am. Wow, how did people get up this early on a daily basis? Anyway, once ready, I crosses the hall and tiptoed into Elsa's room. She still seemed to be asleep, but Justin was awake and seemed to be hugging her from behind. Awww. Too bad I had to ruin the sweet moment. As soon as I made the decision to wake her up, Justin's face turned from smiling to serious and stern. He had read my mind and apparently didn't like my plan, but I was sure he was worrying over nothing and ignored him with a roll of my eyes. Quietly walking over to the bed, I poked Elsa's shoulder, then shook it because poking didn't seem to be working. "Elsa, wake up, sleepy head." I laughed a little at the fact that she was the sleepy head for once, not me. "Come on, it's a beautiful day and we have places to see!" I swear if she didn't wake up soon I'd lie on her, just like I used to when we were tiny.

With the halloween antics over things went back to normal for Sierra and I. We both had to work today and she was already home by the time I had finished, cooking something up for dinner though I was pretty sure she was meant to be out hunting. When was the last time she drank blood, anyway? "I could've done that for you if you had waited a little while." I pointed out, setting my stuff down on the couch before moving over to the kitchen area and kissing my fiancèe's cheek. "Shouldn't you be... Oh, I don't know... Out drinking blood? Like a vampire would do?" I would've offered up my blood - I actually kinda liked being bitten, as weird as it sounds - but Sierra was really finnicky about drinking from me. Then again, she seemed finnicky about drinking from anyone... What exactly was her deal with that? I mean, some people - myself included - are actually willing to be bitten without being forced into it, and Sierra was so controlled that she hasn't really, y'know, killed me or taken a dangerous amount of blood, so what gives?

I think - think - the whole 'Being a real mom' thing was going well. I mean, Abby still got a bit b****y about the past and wouldn't let me hang out with her too much, but at least she was occassionally allowing me to be in her presence! That was a start, right? Actually the main problem wasn't Abby, it was everyone else. I think by now everyone in this place has heard of Abby and knows that I'm the mom who walked out on her and I have been given lots of dirty looks and even a few whispered commets when people thought I couldn't hear. It sucked knowing that a lot of people - people who I didn't even really know - hated me. I was trying to avoid all that drama today, since Abby was busy - apparently she was going on a trip with her girlfriend tomorrow - and Jeremy, well, he was probably spending time with that Alix girl. My location of choice was the library, since it was pretty easy to disappear in there, and I was sat in the armchair, reading a random book I had picked up.

The halloween party ended too quickly, now we all had to go back to school. Ugh, I couldn't wait until Christmas vacation, school was boring! At least it was lunchtime right now. I think TJ had disappeared with Genesis and it was too cold to stay outside, so Kara and I had made the quick trip from the school to the mansion to hang out in the music room. "Y'know, they should've built a music room in the school," I told KJ, sitting down on a stool and picking up the nearby guitar, strumming a few chords absent-mindedly. "That way we wouldn't have to walk outside in the freezing cold." My gaze moved away away from the guitar, to my best friend, throwing her a smile. "Heck, they could even build a corridor - a heated corridor - linking the mansion and the school so that we don't have to go outside. What do you think?"

I had to take the day off of work due to yet more vomitting. Samuel had also taken the day off to care for me. I hadn't wanted to be a bother, but he insisted so I asked him to go to the drug store and buy some pregnancy tests. Yup, the notoriously late monthly was too late now, so I was starting to believe that our months of trying for a baby had finally paid off. I took the test twice, then waited for the results in what was an agonizing 5 minutes. Gosh, could the time go any slower?! As soon as the 5 mins were over, I practically lunged for the tests. Then grinned. Grinned the best, cheek-hurting grin as I looked down at the positive results. I was pregnant! I was going to be a mother! Sam was going to be a father! I tried to conceal my squeals of exctitement, not wanting to give things away just yet. As soon as I was calmer, I left the bathroom to meet an anxiously pacing husband. "Well, Samuel," I started, my smile probably giving away the results. "I think we're going to have to start thinking of baby names!" I held up the tests as proof of my pregnancy, just in case Sam thought I was messing with him. Finally, we're gonna be parents! And da- Oh gosh, how was I going to tell dad I was pregnant? Whether I wanted this or not, he'd go crazy!

So, we were going back to my parent's ranch for thanksgiving which was less than a week away. Dilynn and I had already packed and we had made sure that Tucker had all the shots her needed before he went on vacation with us. I was a bit too excited to go, though, I mean, the road trip would take a couple days at the least so I didn't really have to wait long until we hit the road but still... "Why don't we just go now?" I asked my girlfriend, scratching the overgrown pup's back as he sprawled across across both of our laps. "We'll get there a couple days early and get settled, and there's nothing really stopping us from going now, right?"

I had no idea what I was doing right now. My mind had been all over the place, lately, fighting against my heart that said stupid things because, honestly, second chances had never gone well in the past. But we hadn't even had the chance to really see if things could work out between us, and Henry's words the other night. He hadn't exactly said it directly, but he had implied that he wanted us to get back together which sounded great but at the same time I was a stubborn b**** who felt like her pride was on the line if I took Henry back after he chose another woman over me and I valued my pride and... Ugh! No, I needed to swallow my pride just this once, otherwise I might just regret it.

I walked to Henry's room as calmly as I could, which was still pretty shaky and nervously. For someone who had battled monsters and mad men and alsorts of creepy stuff, I think I was more scared now than I had been in any of those situations. At least the kids were at school at the moment so it'd be a private talk. Taking a deep breath outside Henry's room, I put on as much as the fake Yuffie bravado as I could, then knocked on the door. This was either gonna go really badly, or really good and result in me having a boyfriend again. Lets just hope it was the latter.

Having lunch with Micah was a normal thing, since he was the first friend Sora had ever had. Usually Robyn joined them but she was kind of a social butterfly and was playing with some other friends today, so it was just Sora and Micah sitting in the classroom with their lunchboxes (Because it was too cold outside). As Sora opened her lunchbox, she gasped in surprise as she spotted a couple mini cookies. "Cookies!" The little girl exclaimed loudly, shoving one into her mouth. The young Princess then looked over to her boy friend - that wasn't her boyfriend, because boys had cooties - and held a cookie out to him. "Want one?" She asked, quickly swallowing her mouthful. Sora then began to wave the cookie in front of Micah's nose. "Come on! You know you want it!" The five year old giggled a little, pressing to cookie to Micah's lips to try and make him eat it.

So the Halloween party incident had been... Wrong, and inappropriate and... Amazing, but what the heck had I been thinking? The only thing sleeping with Chloe had accomplished was the realisation that she didn't really see me as someone she'd like to settle down with one day, just some one she wanted to hook up with, and I doubted she'd ever see me as a serious partner. It kind of put a downer on the next couple of days, and what was my favourite way to deal with sadness? Push it to one side, ignoring it as much as possible, and throw myself into working! That's right, no comfort food and movies for me, just a huge book about how to run a business, since I was just weeks away from opening the apothecary. I was sat in the living room right now reading ridiculously huge book. I did try to pay attention to my surroundings as well - I didn't exactly want to bump into Chloe at this particular moment in time - but mostly I tried to focus on my studying so that I could run a successful business.

Geez, Holland was really worried about this, going so far as to suggest that it was a bad idea even though we had come all the way here. I frowned a little, about to speak up some words of encouragement but my girlfriend pipped me to the post, locking our fingers together to which a gave a gentle squeeze in return. As she told me not to get angry, my frown grew. How could I promise something like that? I have been fighting against anger and losing my entire life, so how was I meant to promise not to get angry. "I... Can't garuntee anything," I I worded my answer carefully, glancing down at the ring Holland had given me for my birthday. "But I'll try damn well hard not to get mad." Optimism, we needed optimism right now.

Pressing my lips to Holland's knuckles, I replaced my uncertainty with a smile. "It'll be ok. Your dad might be a bit of a douche when it comes to us but we'll get through it." I decided to leave out the fact that, to add to the pressure, I had to hide being a vampire-angel hybrid; geez, Holland's dad was p***ed off at his daughter for dating a woman, could you imagine what he'd be like if he found out she wasn't even dating a human? I pushed that worrying thought to the back of my mind, keeping up the optimism for Holland's sake as we made our way to the front door with our stuff. Despite all the positivity I was trying to ooze right now, I found myself holding my breath as Holland knocked on the front door. Oh gosh, what exactly as I getting myself into?

Luna was so on edge that even through her sobs she'd be able to hear a pin drop. When she heard a soft thud, she looked up to see that all the mean kids had toppled over. She was too upset to giggle, but knowing Jack had probably caused them to randomly fall over somehow, she couldn't help a small smile. The shocked children got up and started running away, returning all the attention to the adults.

Emily scowled at the redhead woman. "By 'Our' regulations, I did in fact mean the state's regulations, ma'am. I'm not stupid." She felt like slapping the woman, honestly, but Katherine got the papers back then and Emily instead focused on them. She glared at the papers. Everything seemed to be in order, except for where the woman lived which infuriated her. Usually there would be a visit to the home, but with the so called 'Immortal mansion' they had strict orders to never go there and just trust the government's word that it was good enough for the children to live in. Why they weren't allowed to inspect the place, Emily didn't know, but the fact that she wouldn't be able to go and try to find a flaw meant that there was nothing preventing the freakshow from being adopted. With a frustrated sigh, she finally gave in. "Katherine, get her files."

They were letting her go! They were actually allowing Luna to be adopted! The 7 year old wiped her tears away and smiled a little as Katherine the receptionist pulled out the documents. Luna peered down at the papers, seeing a little picture of her sad self in the corner, but the name read Lyra Collins. Who was Lyra? That couldn't be her, right? No one had ever called her Lyra before. 'Alright, this is all the information for the little brat - birth certificate included - but before we print out the adoption certificate we do give the oppurtunity to change the child's name. Would you like to do that Miss-' Katherine looked down at the paper and her eyes widened. 'Miss Collins?' Luna's eyes widened as well as she looked at Alex. She was a Collins, too? Were they already related?
((I only just realised Alex's last name is Collins XD Imagine if they were distantly related and never knew it!))

So tired :\

I don't wanna go to college! DX

Well tough. I've had to come to school. And I have to stay through my frees because of rehearsal after school.

Rehearsal? Rehearsal for what?

Ugh, headache DX

For stage and screen next week.

... Still confused but it souds cool

And I overslept... Woopsies ^_^ " But at least my headache's gone now!

got back from NJ like a hour ago...i felt so dirty ;-; I had a nice shower, and food, but im gonna have more food in a bit haii

I seriously need to make an elf X3

NJ? Elf?

New Jersey Those damn kids were so loud. They gave me a headache Well feel the pain I felt ;-; Dont forget how dirty you were and how you felt this morning Oh yeah ;-; It felt like I drank a whole gallon of cloriene (pool water) when I inhaled deeply T^T I needed my asthma pump so it'd help me get rid of it

New Jersey, huh? Family stuff? Hey Britt, what does Rose want for christmas? I was thinking about getting her a kitten, to teach her that being a cat isn't a bad thing, but I don't know :/

family stuff yus, thanksgiving (Which by the way, made me want to die because we ate a cold meal.) and abby, you could since she isnt busy much anymore

Ah, I see. Ok Maybe a real kitty with help her learn to love being a cat a little more. Rose seems to see being a Neko as a bad thing, but I think it's a good thing.

yep..thanksgiving was horrible. The only good thing was i got to see my aunt. and I think so too abby

Uh huh ^_^ Like the elves from Mirkwood (Like Legolas or even better, Tauriel X3)

Oh, like Lord Of The Rings Elves, Scampi? Somehow I think making a real Elf is impossible Well at least it's over, Britt. And now you can just focus on Christmas ^_^

not yet/ Now i can focus on rping sleeping and watching anime because I am tired as crap

I can't even focus on rping. People seem to rarely be rping nowadays so I'm seriously being deprived of rp-ness. I might just get rid of some characters. You better not get rid of me! Of course not, you're one of the few that I rp regularly now, I wouldn't get rid of you. Good. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna look at pictures of hot girls to distract myself from the fact that I'm currently girlfriendless. *Rolls eyes.* Oh boy.
