"Are you coming?" Sam grumbled. Caine glared at him through narrowed eyes. "I'd be careful if I was you," he warned. "You could have a very tragic death you know... well, not that tragic to me, but maybe to Astrid, or Taylor."
Sam rolled his eyes. "Sure, sure." he taunted. "You can't kill me just yet. We have a party to plan!"
Caine sighed. "Do we have to? You're presence is already poisoning me. I may just slip. Like that," he flexed his fingers and Sam flew back a few meters.
Sam pulled the finger at Caine's back as he jogged to catch up. Soon they arrived at the Lake House and were met by Astrid, Edilio, Diana, Drake, Dekka, Brianna, Taylor and Computer Jack.
"It's about time." Dekka glared at them. "Had a little scenery stop along the way?"
Sam shrugged at her. "Caine here seemed to enjoy dragging his feet through the dirt." It was Caine's turn to glare at Sam.
"So people," Astrid, calm and serious as always. "A party, a time when we all join in harmony to..."
"Cut the crap Astrid," Drake interrupted, flicking his whip aimlessly.
Astrid sent an icy look his way. Sam could not believe how hot she looked when she was pissed. He realised how much he missed her, and could not stop thinking about her.
"Fine," Astrid said. " We need food, water, music, have I said food? And . . . lighting?"
"Yep." Brianna said. "Ok food; where the hell are we going to get food?"
Suddenly, a MASSIVE parcel of food and drinks came floating through the barrier from heaven- I mean from the partying Gaiapahge. How am I supposed to know why the Gaiapahge was having a party? Maybe it was its birthday...
"Oh by the way," Drake piped up. "It's the Gaiapage's birthday."
"Why the hell would we need to know that?" sneered Diana.
Drake shrugged. "I dunno, the author wanted to know."
"Who cares?" Dekka grinned. "WE HAVE FOOD!" She lunged for the provisions.
"DON'T EAT IT YOU IDIOT!" Astrid yelled. "What is wrong with you?"
Dekka slumped to the ground, defeated. "OKAY fine, but I am most definitely attending this party. I want FOOD."
"If there's any food left," Computer Jack muttered unhappily. Briana rubbed his shoulder affectionately, and put an arm around him. "It's ok." she murmured. Dekka could only look on sadly, wondering why Briana wasn't turing into a lesbian.
Drake flicked his whip, and it crackled the air with at SNAP! Everyone looked at him and he looked at Sam Caine. Caine looked at Sam and Sam looked at Astrid. Astrid looked at... the air next to her and realised that there was noone there, and realised a second time that they were all looking at her.
"Ok people," Astrid said. "Jack and Brianna, you rig up the music and the lighting. Caine and Sam, you get some tables out and set up the food. NO ONE EATS ANY FOOD? GOT IT? Edilio, Diana, Drake and Dekka, you find some chairs and stuff for swimming. Myself and Taylor will find some drinks. Ok everyone, MOVE OUT."
