heyy everyone! So, lots of positive reviews! Glad everyone's responding so well. No one hates the new location, people aren't disliking the pairings (no one seems to be liking them per say- but thats what I expected) and you're screaming chlerek at me like I'm an idiot (I mean that in every positive way). Yes, Chlerek will be at the forefront of them all. 1- they'd been together the longest. 2- Xavier is still here, you know what that means? Infamous Interruptions! hahaha 3- it's in Chloe's POV, of course it'll have a lota chlerek... (rayray you seemed to doubt me.) anyways, you all know that they won't be at the place the entire time, right? They have to meet with the Assembly... crap more characters. :/ Oh well I'll figure it out. Yeah the first of several meetings will probably be next chapter, unless I don't have Assembly members...
this chapter, expect: the beginnings of a prank war (battle of the sexes!) CHLEREK, awkward relationship revelations (others, not chlerek, otherwise that would fall under the chlerek title) and Kit realizing he's in waaayy over his head. basically, it's an all girls chapter. ;)

Chapter 2
Everyone was up in the main hall (which was a little less than halfway up the cliff side) in an hour. We looked at the small food supply we had brought with us, and decided people would just... eat what they needed/ wanted. Kit, now with Bianca and Alec's help, reigned in our attention and had us, in a very orderly fashion, went through the small kitchen and got our food. We all sat the the row of tables that had been placed outside. It wasn't as loud as I intially expected, but everyone was scarfing down so fast I was kind of glad it wasn't. Everyone seemed starving. When plates were cleaned off, the noise picked up, and everyone fell into their seperate conversations. Derek was talking with Quill and Nate, Tori with Blake, Aveline, and Erin, and I was finally getting my chance to talk with Rae.
"So, the most important thing here is... you? And Derek? How did that happen?" she asked. I glanced over at him, and he seemed engrossed enough in his conversation with his dad and Nate. but I knew better than to think he wasn't listening intently. I knew much better. "Come on, he isn't listening."
"That's what you think. Plus, things besides that happened. Tori and Simon? Siblings? Derek has parents? Liz has a boyfriend? He's standing over there staring at me which is making me very uncomfortable!" I said, aiming my last sentence at Xavier, who was standing three seats away behind Hallie, but staring at me. He smiled, and appeared next to me.
"So, Chica, when were you going to introduce me to your friend?" he asked, looking at Rae.
"Fine, fine. Rae, in this empty space is Xavier. He's a bisexual necromancer half- demon ghost, Davidoff's adopted son, killed 11 years ago by tori's late mom. He's Liz's boyfriend. Or did you break up yet again?" I said, hitting all the stops of his introduction, then adding a querry of my own.
"Still together. And was mentioning my sexuality necessary?"
"Yes it was, remember what happened when Liz didn't find out up front? They are still together." I repeated. "Xavier, this is Rae, she's an Exustio half demon, like Dulcie. She broke out of Lyle house with me, Derek, and Simon."
"Ok, cool. Nice to meet you, Sweetheart." he said, picking up her hand and shaking it. She gave a small flinch then attempted grasping back, but her hand just closed into a fist. He didn't look happy with this, but blew it off.
"I doubt she'll be ok with you calling her sweetheart." I said. rae gave a glare in Xavier's direction.
"No, I'm not."
"Alright, alright. If you don't mind, I'm going to go search for my lover. See you later, Cutie." he said, winking at me. I rolled my eyes and said a quick goodbye in reply.
"Well, the first issue on my list is still you and Derek. But if we must, we'll talk about it later. Apparently talking about your own relationship with him can't be done in front of him. I might as well give up on trying to understand you." she said with a teasingly exhasperated smile.
"Thank you. Anything else you need to hear about?"
"No, Dulcie pretty much covered everything. ...No! Wait, I take that back. Simon and Tori, the divas, how are they related?" she asked. She looked hopeful that there was a very good story behind this one.
"Tori's mom and Simon's dad. Those are Tori's parents. Simon has his own mom. We found out when we were going through some information at the EGHQ. They weren't too happy about it, but now Simon's super over protective of her, and she's taken all of it in stride and nothing changed, she's just friendlier to him. I guess Derek wore off on him more than we realized." I said She looked satisfied with this explanation.
"Wow. Seriously? That's pretty crazy." she laughed.
"I know. They were so shocked they ran off during the entire thing. That's why Tori's a mess of bruises and cuts. She found her mom, and got her butt kicked." I replied. I glanced around quickly, and lowered my tone. "Do you know who's cabin we're all supposed to be meeting at? Or what it's for?"
"Not a clue. Don't worry about it, we'll find it. We can always go door to door." she replied. I shrugged, knowing that this was true. I felt a tap on my shoulder, and I turned to see Derek smiling at me casually. He looked happier recently, and I was excited about it. Grumpy Derek was, well, kind of a jerk at times.
"You want to go hang out? Somewhere else?" he asked quietly, glancing around the table. His hand found mine.
"Yeah, sure. Should we let Kit know we're leaving?" I asked.
"Nah. They can figure it out." he said. We got up and left as inconspicuously as we could. We went down the hillside, a little past the cabins, and leaned on a tree to help keep our balance on the steep slope.
"Do you like this place?" I asked.
"Yeah. Lots of space. Safe, as far as I can tell. Space to practice. Places to sleep. It's good." he said, putting his arm around me. I leaned my head on his chest.
"What do you think is going to happen?" I asked. I had managed to push the entire dliemme to the side, but it became increasingly hard the longer I did.
"In all honesty I have no clue. Too many possibilities. Alexys and Austin are probably trying to ignore it all, too." he said.
"Yeah. Oh, by thw way, how are things going with you and Quill and Taryn?" I asked. It may have only been a few days, but he obviously made an effort to talk to them more. And somehow I kept forgetting to ask him.
"Pretty good. Just talking to them, and everything. It's kind of awkward, they're having a few issues stepping into the parent roles and I'm having a little trouble coming to terms with it... but it's getting there, I guess. I mean, i don't call them 'mom' and 'dad' yet, they're still Quill and Taryn." he said, shrugging slightly. He looked away. It was understandable, he had his own parents for... about four days now. Five days. It would take time.
"Good. Are you going to take his last name?" I asked. "Or both? Or... do you know what you're going to do yet?"
He ran his hand through his dark hair. "No idea. Let's get past this whole thing first, ok?" he said, pulling me closer to him.
"Alright." I replied quietly. I rested against him, happy that it was silent with the exception of the few small animal noises off in the distance. It was peaceful, the most it had been in days, and we were alone. I knew I had to take advantage of every moment we had like this.
I looked up at him and motioned for him to shrink for me and my embarrassing shortness, and I stood on my tiptoes to kiss him. He seemed a little surprised, but didn't argue. He kissed me back sweetly, clutching me to him at my waist, lulling me into that relaxed excited place his kisses put me every single time. I felt him move to deepen the kiss, which I went with gratefully. He turned me to put me against the tree, which just about sent me over the edge with excitement. My stomach was doing backflips, my hands were knotted in his hair, my body glued to his shoulder to knees. It was without a doubt one of the most aggressive kisses he'd ever given me. His mouth left mine to mive across my cheek to my jaw and my neck.
"DAAAAYYYUUUUMMN! GETTIN' IT ON IN THE WOODS, KINKY!"
We jumped and split apart, and looked to find every teen in the camp staring at us, laughing hysterically or smirking. (A/N: you guys have to let me know how detailed is too detailed when it comes to Chlerek. So that is something I'll be testing a lot on this story. let me know! I need feedback. The more info I get on what's comfortable the better my big chlerek prank will be. incentive there, haha) I felt my face burn red and he flipped them all off, obviously unhappy that we had been interrupted. He tried pulling me back into anpother kiss, not caring in the least that they were staring, but my inhibitions weren't quite so loose.
"Chloe, meeting, now!" Tori yelled. "Do we need a surgeon to remove him from you?"
"No, Tori, we're fine. I'll be right up." I said, rolling my eyes.
"Ok. We'll wait." she said. A few laughed again.
"I'll be right there. Go away." I repeated.
"We aren't that stupid, Chlo. We know that when you say 'I'll be right there' you mean 'Leave me the hell alone I'm being pinned down my boyfriend and thoroughly enjoying it jackases'!" Erin said. They all busted up in laughter.
"Well I was..." I muttered. Derek glanced at me, his hand sqeezing mine. "Fine, fine, I'm coming, you relationship nazis." I snapped loud enough for them to hear me this time. They laughed harder.
We all piled into the most stable looking cabin that was closest to the ground (these didn't look meant to hold 9 people each), which happened to be Hallie, Lanie, and Fallon's cabin. We scooted the beds closer together and got comfortable.
"So what's this big important meeting about?" I asked, still upset at having to be torn away from Derek.
"Before we start this, somebody go out to make sure none of the guys are nearby. We don't need Supersonic Hearing boy listening in on this." Erin said. Lanie smiled and shrunk down into a beetle, making a few girls jump.
We watched her scuttle quickly out of the room, and return in 20 minutes that they were nowhere near here. She quickly became herself again, but was covered in dirt. She laughed when she looked down at herself. She was banished to sit on the floor to keep the beds clean.
"I propose a prank on the guys." Erin said proudly.
"...Why?" Fallon asked. Even with her skeptical look she couldn't hide the flare of intrest.
"Why else? It'd be funny as hell." Aveline replied.
"Put it to a vote?" Skylar asked.
"Wait wait wait. You just went out to check to make sure derek couldn't hear us. What makes you think they won't hear us when we do whatever?" I asked.
"Then we get caught, fight back, kick their asses, and laugh at them." Alexys said. "You are far too logical. I'm all for it. Anyone else?"
After almost an hour of discussing, everyone was on board with the plan. Three hours after everyone was in bed, we'd be going out to get the boy's cabins. We'd have to be careful to be quiet, to keep from waking derek or any light sleepers. During the rest of the day we'd be collecting supplies for the prank. Everything we couldn't get, we'd break into the main hall to grab. After our plans were made final, the topic switched fast.
"So, Chlo, gettin' hot and heavy with Wolf boy in the middle of the woods? What's with that? Beds too boring for you?" Erin asked, winking at me. "I mean, I can understand that, but go out a little further next time."
"Erin, if I ever catch you with anybody, I'm not going to hesitate to yell the first thing that comes to mind at you." I told her, rolling my eyes.
"And that would stop me? Audiences make things interesting." she laughed. "But i don't think they guy I;ve got my eye on would go that way."
"How can you be so sheltered your entire life and yet end up this way?" Fallon asked. (A/N: the same way I did. lol)
"Who is it?" Aveline said, jumpin on Erin. Alexys looked jealous.
"Erin your stealing my lover." she said.
"We can share her." Erin laughed, opening her arms to Alexys too. "I don't know if I should tell you. I demand something in return for this deep, dark secret." She looked around the room evilly.
"Depending on what it is, we'll comply." Rae said. She looked a little uncomfortable with the way things were turning out. Normally I would too, but somehow I just took the whole thing in stride.
"Everyone's been flirting with someone, I want reasons why. I'm not blind, tell me who. Except you, Rae, you've been hanging out with Dulcie and Brahm, constantly. But you guys-" she motioned around the room "Have been flirting constantly. Tell me. Spill."
"To keep this fair, how about you make one guess for each of us, and we'll answer truthfully yes or no. If it's a no, then you're out of luck." Lanie said.
"Ooh, that does sound fun. I'm in. But it's the same for all of you for me. One guess." Erin said.
"Are people allowed to help?" Tori asked.
"Erin wants the answers, I think she should be on her own about this." Alexys said, smiling.
"I'm fine with that, where should I start?" Erin answered. She looked around the room. "You three are unlikely to go outside your little group..." she said, looking at Aveline, Alexys, and Lanie. "And theres three guys in your group, and I've definitely noticed a one- on- one thing..." the three girls of the Inseparable 6 looked nervous and excited. they knew about who each other liked, obviously, but kept tight lips for everyone else. "Ave... Rhett? Alexys and... Alaric. That leaves little Lanie with Austin, am I right? Becaus that's what you guys are screaming loud and clear to everyone."
The three of them nodded. "Ave and I fought over Alaric for a little bit, though. Oh, whatever is said in this room stays in here, or that person's going to get it. Don't even act on anything. Got it?" Alexys said. Everyone agreed.
"Hmm... Skylar, you and Tanner are connected at the hip practically." Skylar gave her a no kidding look, and Erin moved forward. "That leaves... Fallon. And who do you only talk to? Huh? Blaine? I have to say he is a cutie, kinda serious though. Am I correct, or no?" she asked.
Fallon burned a deep red. "Yes..."
"And, Tori. I don't know if you're flirting back with him just because or not, but Blake has been all over you." Erin laughed. "The question is, he's head over heels for you, but is it going the other way?" Erin siad, jumping on Tori.
"Kinda?" Tori said. Erin gave her a skeptical look. "Fine, fine. He's funny, ok?" she said, pushing Erin off her onto th floor.
"Damn, I am good. So, any guesses to the poor fellow I have my eyes on?" Erin asked.
"Well, who's left? Simon, Parker... and Daniel. You haven't said too much to Daniel..." Lanie started.
"He's out. He's been flirting with all of us except Chloe." Alexys jumped in.
"But I've also been flirting back, but you're correct on that notion, I won't be too evil." Erin said.
"Ok. Parker and Simon... You had some crazy flirting with both of them!" Aveline said.
"You've done more flirting with Simon. I'm betting Simon." Tori said. I noticed Rae's silence in all of this. She looked uncomfortable.
"I'll second that. Anyone else?" Aveline asked. Everyone agreed. Erin smiled, confirming our guess.
"That being my brother... yeah go ahead. Just don't make things really super awkward please." Tori said, laughing.
We talked for another half hour, and realized it was almost ten. Crap. We looked out the door to find that all the cabins had light on but closed blinds, and we snuck out to head up to the main hall to get supplies. The hall was empty, thank god, and we found plenty of things. Streamers in an old closet, a couple balls of yarn, confetti, cut out letters, chocolate sauce, food dye, peanut butter, saran wrap, and we had toilet paper in our cabins. taking one from ach gave us four. That would be fine. When we left we found an old small tub of paint. we took that too. Carrying all of this down, we split it up to be sure we had enough to cover the four cabins, and set to work as quietly as we could. We forked the surrounding ground, tp'd the entire building, along with the stilts holding it up, put streamers everywhere, yarn, sprayed confetti all over the porch area into the door (a flat area of dirt, but whatever) spread chocolate sauce on the windows and glued letters to them using the peanut butter, and Erin wrote various messages on the doors with the paint. These included 'Hey there sexies you missed the fun last night', 'Hey boys me and the girls got up to some fun don't you wish you could have watched', and 'Hey guys us girls got dirty we'll let you clean up.' (A/N: I love perverted jokes. especially ones with double meanings. XD)
By the time we were done it was well past midnight and we took the remaining supplies into our rooms to hide them as to keep them from the boy's reach and protect ourselves from any future attack. We said a few hushed goodnight and traded jokes, then head to bed, anxious to see the reactions of everyone else the next morning. I don't think it took any of us more than five minutes to fall to sleep.
hello, dahlings. lol you know what i found in one of Jamie's stories? a totally kick ass line that I just can't move on from. 'So, you like my bed?' that could either come across as 1- totally creeper stalker- ish or 2- in derek's case, totally saying 'hey. you. me. in my bed. you already know you like it. let's put it to use.' lmao! haha you like the prank? I based it off of The Parents Trap. you now, before Lindsay Lohan got all... brittney spears? wierd, I just described one celebrity by using another. anyways, get used to the pranks. as I said, battle of the sexes! And those are the pairings. Any objections, please see me. well, PM me or something. If you actually see me (unless you actually know me personally) I will probably call the police. Anyways, thank you for reading, pps! I luv you! now I'm gonna go make sure this guy named ruler (well, some weird spelling of that) didn't try to connect to me again on yahoo. cuz seriously, his avatar had a gun. a freaking gun. scary, right? and he only connected to teen girls. I'm watching out now... OBTW holy shit I'm on youtube. idk if I should be excited or a little scared. I'm kinda both. anyways, that's all that's happened today... yeah... thanks for reading, hope you liked it, review, PM, whatever it is you fancy! lol thnx, pps!
haha, chlerek. Told you, RayRay. did that chapter look anything like hsm? anyhoo, you guys al need to let me know how my chlerek is. Too graphic? (if you say this I might jump off a cliff cuz that was nothing at all) Too innocent? I'm trying to find borderline. I need it for my prank! Thanks!
