A/N: sorry for the long delay, but I had an authors block for the story…

P.S.: ok I made somewhat of a plan change and so is Patty already twenty years old in here so no one should dare to say something wrong about the fic…

II. Reunion of friends

It was a bright sunny day in April and the classes have just ended in the Cadel Brown Collage. Many children left the building smiling and laughing happily, under them a certain blond haired young woman.

"Patty, hey Patty wait up!" yelled suddenly a cheerful female voice an the young woman turned around.

"Hey Clarisse." She said smiling to the other blond girl. Clarisse Hoffman was a slender young woman with soft honey brown eyes and golden blond hair, she was also the captain of the cheerleading team.

"Where do you think you are heading for already?" she asked while poking her o the nose.

"Home." She said nonchalantly.

"What? Are you mad we have the rest of the day free plus the whole week and you want to go home already, Pat really." She said in a disbelieving tone and threw her arm around the girls shoulder.

"Hey girls." Both blonds turned around to met face to face with Thomas Johnson the son of a rich lawyer. He was rather tall, intelligent had short brown hair and blue eyes.

"Hay Tom, say where is Ken?" Clarisse asked. Ken was Tom's twin brother and both were looking rather similar expect that Ken needed to wear glasses and his brown hair reached his shoulders, he was also rather shy sometimes.

"He is still in the library, so what did you plan for today?" Tom asked the two grinning.

"We didn't have any plans…" Clarisse started, but Patty interrupted her.

"Actually I was heading home." Patty said.

"Not that again…" her friend groaned.

"Why? It is a great day to hang out so come Patty." Tom said.

"Hey Patty!"

Turning around the tree students spotted a black motorcycle parking in from of the school gates with a young woman standing in front of it, helm under her arm. The woman was tall and had a slender figure, high check bones and long blonde hair, her clothing was all a deep shade of red.

"Trish!" Patty yelled happily as she run up to the demonness and hugged her.

"Long time not seen, may, may someone has grown." Trish said smiling. 'Dante you are really lucky that you have only marked her as your mate and not already mated or Lady and I would have castrated you.' She thought, then truth be told she and the demon huntress saw the little girl as something like they little sister and would cause everyone unmentionable pain who dared to hurt her in any sort of way. "Hop on, we are having a little group gathering Lady went already to pick your mom up." She said smiling as she handed her a spare helmet.

"Lady is also here in the city again?" Patty asked her friend excitedly, she hasn't seen the two women in the past two and a half years.

"Yes we are working now as partners since a while so come or we need to deal with a grumpy kid." She said playfully and Patty needed to giggle, she fully knew who she meant.

As the engine f the bike kicked in again Patty turned around one last time to her still confused looking friends.

"I will see you sometime in the week." She called as they drove up.

"Sorry that it took so long, erm…did Patty already go home?" Ken asked panting as he reached his twin and Clarisse, three books in his arms.

Meanwhile in the office were Morrison, Patty's mother and Lady already having a party with music and lots of food, but Dante was only staring at the door. Everyone stopped talking as the door opened and Trish walked inside shortly followed by Patty.

"Patty…" but Dante was already pushed out of the way by Lady who has run up to the young woman and was now hugging her.

"Hello Lady." Patty said smiling as she hugged her back.

"It is good to see you." She said when she let her go.

As the party resumed was the office filled with happy laughter, chatting about the things that happened in the time when the friends didn't see each other, eating the delicious sandwiches, cakes and sweets made by Patty's mother, and of course the big amount of pizza and strawberry ice cream, dancing to the music and having fun together in these rare occasion when everyone could be together without the worry that a demon would crash the party in any sort of way.

Patty was watching when Morrison asked her mother to dance with him and needed to smile at her blushing mother. She found the scene cute when suddenly someone tapped her on the shoulder, turning around her blue eyes met blue eyes.

"I'm happy that you come." Dante said in an for him unusually soft voice and patty checked in her mind if he was again in heat, but it was to early for that.

"I'm also happy, sorry that I couldn't visit so often." She said and the other nodded, his eyes never leaving hers.

"Would you care to dance with me?" he asked her smiling.

"Uhm…gladly." She said smiling and took his outreached hand letting herself be lead to the dance floor which was in the middle of the office, smiling happily to be with her friends again.
