Evie had been working all day to cook for the party…whom she was the chosen host for this one as Tara had it before her, and Charlie the time before that. Her week off had been a god send as she was desperate for some time to veg-out and catch up on her paintings. Her paintings had been her main focus but even then she couldn't really commit herself to it fully she kept daydreaming and for a few hours just sitting around in her living room staring at a painting of her mother was all she could think up to get done. Anne had been the first to get there and had turned her living room into a theater, a part salon and well for now it was reminiscent of a Indian harem room with all the pillows and fabric she had spread about "Got enough fabric and pillows with bric-a-brac on them to fulfill your harem dreams" she said with a laugh as she walked into the living room "Yeah and we should be all cozy and comfy you know" the brunette said while holding another satin pillow she was trying to squish into the floor, Evie took it from her and shoved it onto the couch "Gosh are you done yet everyone else will be getting here and I need help with the food table" she said putting her hands on her hips and looking at her second best girl friend "Like yeah I'm done" she said smartly flipping her hair over her shoulder "I mean we like need a comfy squishy place to rest our tushies" she said imitating a valley girl tone and the two laughed "Like oh my gawd I totally forgot" Evie said back in the same tone… "Okay enough of this come help me or else you aren't getting any snackage" she said with a smirk as Anne rolled her eyes and finally helped her friend pile up plate after plate of food onto the buffet table "Got enough food Evalaidri" she said smart assedly to her, Evie hissed "Yes you know how Charlie eats…and don't call me that you know I hate it" she said putting the last plate of brownies down "I know that's why I do it" she said sticking her tongue out at her. No more than two minutes later the doorbell rang and four girls stood there pajama's on and ready to party "On time and not a minute late" Andel called out "Now let us in your neighbors are staring" she said for the group "Oh come in then" Evie called out from her spot at the food table, Anne backed up and let the horde of girls in "Hope you picked good movies little sister" Anne said to Tara "You know I did" she said back a smirk forming on the black haired girls face… "And not some sappy French film with terrible subtitles like the one Ridders picked that time" Charlotte said with a grin "Oh hey it was not that bad…I can't help you guys have no taste" Ridley said in her defense, then immediately ducked as three pillows came flying at her head "No fair I wasn't expecting that" she whined "Tough luck babe" Evie said sitting down beside Ridley.
As the night wore on so did the girls energy Andel was the first to drop off and fall asleep, her white blonde hair fell like a sheet as she sprawled out on the couch and the other girls laughed as she threw pillows out of her way hitting Tara with one "Oi hey" she sputtered "If she wasn't asleep I'd get her" she said menacingly to Charlotte who merely just laughed at the site of her cousin flopped out on the couch. Next to go was Tara who slumped over onto the pillows and fell dead asleep "Now aren't you glad I put so many pillows down Eve" Anne whispered into her friends ear "Yeah now I don't have to drag them into a bed or set anything up" she said now feeling grateful for her friends forethought as her apartment only had one spare bed in the whole place so this many people normally wouldn't be accommodated easily. Charlotte was next as she just dozed off leaning against the couch, Ridley took pity on her uncomfortable looking state and carefully laid her down onto the pillows as Evie handed her another spare cover she had "Dropping off like flies you think they'd be able to stay up late after all the sugar they ate" Ridley said with a grin to Anne and Evie. It wasn't long before Anne was yawning her eyelids starting to droop, she made her farewells and crawled over to an empty pillow space and laid her head down "Don't… forget to get… some sleep… too girls" the brunette elf said from her spot yawning with every few words "We won't" the remaining two said to Anne as she went off to dream land. All that was left was Ridley and Evie the two oldest and best of friends in the bunch; they had weathered years of hardship and flourished in times of good "So have you any news from the other Elders about your…well allowance in this relationship?" Evie asked Ridley who looked rather glum "No after six whole months there still thinking on letting me even get engaged to Andy…they keep a tight rein on us you know" she said while playing with a tassel from the pillow that had been sitting in her lap "I hate it for you after so long of seeing that it isn't the end of the world to let whitelighters have relationships you'd think they'd let up" she said leaning back on the palms of her hands "I know but the rules are still there and I'm not just anybody you know…but anyway let's get off of this…what about your love life?" she asked her friend looking hopeful of some good news "Dead… that's just about it I let Charlie set me up and I can't stand the guy he's too…well enamored by me and let's just say I've reached a dead end if you catch my drift" she said to her friend knowing that she'd catch her meaning since they had spent since the better part of there lives weaving in and out of each others paths "I understand you but don't give up I hate to see you lonely over your commitment problems…and you do have some don't get me wrong" she said pointing over at her friend "I admit I'm a terrible girlfriend… a worse wife and a easily bored lover" she said raising her hands in front of her "But come on you know my drawbacks you have a few of them too" she said to her friend with an eyebrow raised "I know I do but I don't let them get me down like you" she said with a smirk "Touché" she said grinning "Now let's catch some sleep before they wake before us and do something terrible" she said "Roger that Eves" Ridley said while standing up and tiptoeing over her friends, going to the mattress that had been set up, that no one had bothered to notice, for the girls to crash on. "Night Ladri" Ridley said pulling the cover up "G'nite Rishka" Evie said from her side of the bed. The two friends laid back to back the moonlight filtering in from the half open shades "Can you get that big E?" Ridley asked "Sure" Evie answered and raised a hand to the shades, she let the hand drop and the shades closed themselves "Thanks" Ridley murmured "Welcome" Evie said before falling asleep her circle of best friends surrounding her as they always did on there nights in and always had before in the past.
