Here is where stuff changes.. I hope I got the characters right, though I played about with Aldarn's character..
Review review review!
"Okay, what was that!" Taranee joined the other four girls, plus Vathek and Aldarn, sitting around a table whilst Will squirmed uncomfortably under the pressure of their attention.
"Lucky bastard!" Aldarn breathed. When he was given dirty looks he simply shrugged, "Well he's got two of you wantin' for him now." It was surprising that despite his lack of experience on Earth, it was Aldarn who spoke most alike modern human guys.
"HE HASN'T GOT ME ANYTHING!" Will stood, her hands pressed against the table, "I don't know what happened he's just, just-"
"-dreamy!" Irma play fully fluttered her eye-lashes, her hands clasped together against her chest.
"RRGGHH!" Will growled, "He's agrivating. And annoying. And he just makes me so-"
"Horny?" Hay Lin enquired and the Irma erupted with laughter.
Will glared at Hay Lin, ignoring Irma - head down on the table, banging her fist against it, now laughing so hard that she was no longer making a sound. "No!" She sounded disgusted.
"Well you looked it." Cornelia smirked, having had gotten over initial shock she had become quite mocking about Will's situation.
"Like I said! I don't know what happened! I was just so mad and then.. And then we were kissing." Will blew here hair out of her face, which to everyone surprise sparked, like a little electric bolt between hairs.
"Did you see that?" Vathek gasped. "Again with the electricity!"
#You shouldn't worry about it! If you hadn't been shocked you probably be undressing that boy by now!#
"Shut up!" Will whipped around to see that no-one was there, only a radio and digital clock. Everyone looked at her curiously as she stared in the corner.
#Well, you needn't be rude! I'm not wrong!# Will's eyes widened and she stood, then proceeded to walk slowly towards the clock.
Suddenly she jumped around and began hitting her forehead with her palm, "I'm going mad! I'm going mad!"
"She's gone mad." Irma stated simply.
#You certainly look mad jumping around like that!#
"SHUT UP! YOU ARE A-"
She stopped as Caleb walked through the door next to her.
"Hi." She stated muffling the clock's shouts with her arms. Suddenly she looked shocked. The clock then crackled and BANG! It exploded, causing Will to shreik and jump up, clinging onto Caleb (like in the obitulette).
"Jeeze, what did you do to it." Caleb seemed less than startled by the small explosion.
"It just kept getting more and more angry," Will explained simply, "Until 'pop'."
"Uh, babe, that's a clock, not a person." Irma said, flashing a smile at her friend, who was being put down by Caleb.
#Plus it's really not her right to say anything!# The radio chipped in, this time heard by all because of it's speakers.
"Was that the.." Taranee pointed at the radio in awe.
"You see!" The others looked shocked.
"Okay.. Crazy seems to be infectious." Irma said, only half joking.
"It's Will's fault! She's the one who's gone all shocky!" Cornelia pointed out.
"Gee thanks, I hadn't noticed." Will said sarcastically, causing more static through her hair when she combed it behind her ear with her fingers, only for it to fall back again.
"Whatever it is, it can wait, we're meant to be going to Matt's thing right?" Hay Lin piped up and Will looked up stunned for a second before remembering.
"Right! And this," She dug her hand into her pocket, "Is for you." She pulled a ticket out and presented it to Caleb who looked a little uneasy.
"Do I have to go?" He said, careful not to sound whiney, but merely indifferent.
"Yes. Matt got a ticket for you, as his friend."
"Fine." Caleb took the ticket and looked at it, the others surprised by how civil the pair were being. "I take it you'll open a portal for Aldarn and Vathek?"
"Yeah."
"Thanks." Caleb gave will a shy smile and pointed to the door, "I should go tidy the.. um.. 'ex'-battle plans." His smile widend, and Will looked at her shoes as he exit.
"You heard the man." Will turned, pulling out the heart and out-stretched her hand. In a flash a portal opened and she looked at the two meridianites. "Hope you enjoyed today's drama." she said rolling her eyes.
Aldarn and Vathek's visits had become much more frequent recently, Aldarn's especially. He came mostly just to hang out, and neither the girls or Matt minded spending time with Caleb's best friend as they had grown to enjoy his slightly odd perspective. He was far more laid-back than Caleb, and was more intrigued with his surroundings - though they were limited so far to the inside of Hay Lin's house - while Caleb had generally been more suspicious. The reason Will in particular liked him being around was that his boyish-ness seemed to rub off on Caleb. Caleb even made jokes when he was, or had spent time with Aldarn. It was a refreshing contrast from his usual serious exterior.
"You could say that." As Vathek went through the portal he flashed a grin, but as he passed Will he murmured to her, "Don't be cruel, he's more confused than you are. He's new with this."
"With what?"
"Love."
