"And do you Phena take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?" As she looked at Ogron she felt a surge of overwhelming joy and love for him, his team and her team. She then thought back to the very first time she and her team met him and his team and how their relationship had developed.
"So what do you guys want to do tomorrow?" Krystal asked.
Everyone groaned. "I don't want to even think about tomorrow," Jane complained.
"Hey girls?" Phena said.
"Yeah?"
"Look at those guys over there. Maybe they need a lift or even a place to stay."
Anya opened the van's sliding door, "Hey, you guys need a lift?"
"Uhh… If you don't mind," one said.
"Hop in!" Krystal said gleefully.
After they had gotten in and settled comfortably, Phena adjusted the mirror to see them and asked, "So… what's your names and where should I drop you off at?"
"Oh, I'm Ogron, this is Gantlos, Anagan, and Duman," Ogron said
"Well, I'm Phena and this is Jane, Anya, and Krystal. But you didn't tell us where you and your friends are going," Serena responded.
"Honestly, we don't have anywhere to go," Ogron said shamefully.
"You could stay with us!" Krystal suggested.
"That's very kind of you. Thanks," Gantlos said moodily.
The rest of the car ride was in complete silence until getting to the girls' home.
"Well, here we are!" Jane said.
"It's very … nice," Anagan said, staring at the large building.
"We should probably tell you that we're wizards," Phena said.
The men gaped at them in surprise. "We are wizards also!" Duman exclaimed.
"Wow! What a coincidence that all eight of us are wizards!" Krystal cried.
"We should probably go in. It is getting dark out," Jane tiredly pointed out.
"Sorry about her. She can be pretty moody," Krystal said exasperated.
Hope they don't think this is too personal for conversation. "So, what are you guy's powers?" Phena asked after they had gone inside.
"I can absorb magic," Ogron said
"I can create and control seismic and sound waves," Gantlos said.
"I have super speed," Anagan said.
"And I can morph into any person or animal that I wish," Duman added.
It was now the women's turn to be surprise. "But … how?" Anya whispered.
Phena recovered first, "Interesting. Those are our exact same powers."
"Very," Ogron replied suspiciously.
"So… what would you guys like to eat?" Phena said changing the subject.
"Oh…um…well…," the four men replied.
Hope they like leftovers Phena thought. "Here, we'll just have the pasta I cooked earlier," Serena answered for them.
"That'll work," They replied automatically, although unsure of what pasta was.
After they ate Phena looks at the clock, "Oh wow! Have we spent this much time talking and eating?!"
"We had better get to sleep," Jane said.
"Wait!" Anagan cried.
"What?" Phena asked. What could we have forgotten? Let's see; a ride, food…
"Oh… um… where are we to … well, you know… sleep?" Anagan stammered.
"Oh!" Phena said hitting herself in the forehead. "I completely forgot!"
"Come on up," Jane said.
"We have some extra rooms upstairs," Krystal explained at their confused looks.
"Come on, I'll show you where you guys can sleep," Anya called down.
"Thanks. You know, you really didn't have to do this for us," Ogron said. "I mean, if we're too much to handle we can always leave. I'm sure we can find somewhere else to stay, Ogron added quickly while the others nodded encouragingly.
"Oh it's no problem. Actually, we're rather glad to have the company," Anya called over her shoulder as she led them to their rooms.
"Why?" Duman asked, confused.
"Oh … well … I probably shouldn't say this, but we've been here a while and even though we're all together, this building is pretty big and it gets a little lonely sometimes," Anya said rather unenthusiastically.
"Oh, well that's understandable. I mean, everyone can be lonely at times, even a group of people that are living together," Anagan said sympathetically.
"Well, here you go. Chose which room you want to use, I guess. You guys can stay here as long as you want. Oh! Breakfast is at eight when you guys are hungry. And I should probably let you know that we leave for work at nine," Anya informed.
"You work? Where at?" Gantlos asked.
"Where we best fit in at," She replied.
"Which is?" Ogron asked exasperated.
"Well, I work at a track center on the other side of town. Jane's work is teaching about different seismic and sound waves in a high school. And Krystal works at a healing and learning center for exotic pets and zoo animals. Night!" Anya chirped.
"Wait. What about Phena? You haven't told us her job," Anagan inquired.
"We really don't know where she works at. She doesn't talk about it except for saying work was fine and, honestly, we don't ask," Anya looked down embarrassed.
"Oh," Anagan said discouraged.
"Well, goodnight. Again!" she said.
"Goodnight!" the four wizards called.
"Night girls!" Anya said as she slipped into her bedroom.
"Night!" they called back.
