Well, I've had some really nice reviews, so thanks for those.
I might update this again tomorrow, but on Friday I break up for the Christmas holidays!
How you doing?

Cupid was up in her studio, furiously typing on her laptop, thinking up ideas. They were all to … cheesy. She needed this to be original. This was Venus, for God's sake. It needed to be spontaneous.
Suddenly she felt the hairs on the back of her neck prickle with anxiety. Someone was watching her. She slowly turned her swivel chair around to see a dark face with hooded, glowing eyes staring down at her.
She shrieked and jumped out of her chair at lightning speed. She heard the man chuckle as he removed his coat hood from his face, revealing his light skin tone and regular eyes. Well, as regular as vampire eyes were.
"Sugar, you are getting worse at this, not better. I sneak, you catch. Remember how to play?" Valentine drawled in his Southern accent.
"Shut up, Val. That was years ago." she grumbled, sitting back down again.
"You've forgotten your roots, Chariclo." he said, shaking his head and sighing.
"It's C.A. to you. Or Cupid." she says.
"Oh, come on! Have you had a complete mind blank of your childhood?" he teased, flicking her hair and dislodging some of it from its perfect style.
"Valentine! I'm busy right now!" she protested, though secretly she loved hanging out with her best friend. She patted her hair back into place.
"What are you doing that could possibly be more important than me, doll?" he asked, leaning over her shoulder to stare at her laptop.
He read her writing and snorted.
"Venus and Robecca? Sugar, that's gonna be a hell of a lot of work? You sure you're up for it?" he asked.
Cup[d narrowed her eyes. Was he just playing at being sympathetic?
"I'll be fine, Val. I know my way around love." C.A. said.
Valentine walked towards the door to leave and opened it.
"Whatever you say, " he turned and winked at her. "Chariclo."
She gritted her teeth in frustration. Valentine was fun to hang out with, but sometimes he could be so … annoying.

"Hey Venus." Cupid said happily as they walked into Maths.
"Hey Cupid." said Venus curiously. They were friends, but they didn't really talk much.
"So, what are you doing on Saturday evening?" she asked as they sat down and proceeded to chat. Their creature was always late.
"Uh, gardening, pulling out weeds, climbing trees, the usual. Why?" Venus answered.
"Because there's this great new nightclub in the next town called Fallen Rain, and I have two tickets." Cupid giggled flourishing them from her bag.
"Oh, wow!" exclaimed Venus. Cupid grinned satisfactorily. She knew this would be right up Venus's street.
"Do you want them?" asked Cupid innocently.
"Are you serious?" Venus said, taking the tickets from her.
"Dead serious. And you know who would love to go?" C.A. asked slyly.
"Who?" Venus was confused.
"Robecca. Take her with you." insisted Cupid.
"Robecca? In a nightclub?" asked Venus through peals of laughter.
"I'm serious! Let her learn to live a little."
"Well … Okay. If you say so." Venus shrugged as their creature walked in. They turned their attention to her but Cupid smiled to herself. Phase one was nearly complete.

"Hi Robecca. Where are you going?" Cupid caught up with the robot as she sped along, a little slower than usual, the halls.
"Oh, I was thinking of going along to the catacombs to the roller maze." she said, slowing down her pace even more so Cupid could keep up.
"Well, I need to talk to you. If someone asked you to a nightclub, would you agree?" said Cupid.
"A nightclub? Is Heath trying to court me again? If so, tell him his advances are in vain." Robecca sighed.
"No, it's not Heath. Venus has two tickets to Fallen Rain and she will probably ask you to go with her." Cupid said, panting a little.
"Oh … Should I say yes?" Robecca asked curiously.
Cupid nearly screamed. This was harder than she thought.
"Yes, of course you should. You need to live a little, Robecca!" Cupid exclaimed.
"Well, then I will say yes. Bye Cupid." Robecca called, then sped off again.
Cupid grinned. Phase one complete.
Well, I enjoyed unleashing my inner stereotypical English girl with this! Hope you enjoyed!
