Hello again, all! I was feeling really pumped when I started this chapter, but I kind of got stuck at a point...and when I finally got over that, I realised that it felt really rushed. Not my best work...oh well. Big ups to Baybaysushi for being my first reviewer! And without further ado, chapter two! Enjoy!

Disclaimer: Um...I own this fanfic idea...and Julliette...that's it.

"Kid? You have a fiance?" Everyone stared at him in surprize. Everyone, that is, except...

"Oh, so you're the Julliette we've heard so much about." Liz said.

"Wow, I didn't think you'd be so pretty!" complemented Patty.

"Kid talks about me?" Julliette asked, slightly pink.

"Oh yeah, all the time." Liz drawled.

"We have to help him with his letters to you a lot, since Kid isn't very good at talking to girls." bubbled Patty.

Liz, Patty, that's enough." Kid interrupted, looking thoroughly ruffled.

Just then, Death bobbed by. "Hey there, kid-os!" He came to a stop next to Kid. "I hope you're enjoying the party. Ah, Julliette! I'm glad you could make it."

"Wouldn't miss it for the world, Lord Death." Julliette gave a slight curtsy.

"Father, I need to have a word with you." Kid dragged Death away from the group.

"What's got you troubled, kid-o?"

"You invited Julliette?!" Kid hissed, glancing back at her. He saw that she was staring at them with a worried look on her face.

"I thought you might want to spend time with her, since you two barely get to see each other, and -"

"No! You thought wrong! She always makes things awkward..."

"Oh...I'm sorry, Kid, I didn't realise; I've already invited her to your lock - in."

"You did what?!"

"It you want, I could go cancel it right now..."

Kid took a deep breath. "No. It's fine. I'll put up with her this one time." He stalked back over to the gang as Death bobbed away. "Sorry about that. There was a little issue I had to take care of."

"I hope nothing's wrong...?" Julliette trailed off.

"No, no problem." Kid lied. It was too easy to feel the awkward charge in the air as they spoke. The only person who didn't seem to notice it was Black Star.

"Hey, I didn't come here to listen to you two yammer." he said loudly. "Is this a party or isn't it?"

Fortunately, this outburst seemed to be exactly what everyone needed. They spent the rest of the evening enjoying themselves, completely carefree. Even Kid didn't let Julliette's presence bother him too much. He distracted himself by trying to convince himself that she would probably forget all about the lock - in and leave with her mother.

However, his hopes were dashed as the guests began to leave and Julliette showed no sign of going anywhere.

"Well, it looks like everyone's gone." Kid said as the last of the guests exited.

Kid led the large group through the house. Kid's home was actually enchanted. It looked a lot smaller on the outside than it was on the inside. It was really easy to get lost in the vast corridors if you didn't know your way around. Of course, Kid had been living in that house all his life, so he knew how to get around. All the others really had to do was follow him.

Finally, Kid led the group into his room. After locking the door, he turned to stare at all of them, avoiding eye - contact with Julliette.

"The lock in begins...now."
