I do quite a bit of brainstorming while I am at work, so I do in fact know where I am going next. Also, I realized that I have six characters that I can have narrate the story. This should be fun to work with.

Lux POV:

I wake up to hear the sound of a griddle, Jinx talking, and music playing on the stereo (AN: In this story, Piltover has the technology in the SG story Riot posted. This means that yes, stereos and griddles exist, and it's not limited to just those, either). I can tolerate her awful cooking (she is kind enough to try), but I really wish that she wouldn't be so loud when the rest of us are asleep.

I turn my head around and close my eyes again, but after a few minutes I give up. I'm not getting anymore sleep this morning.

I walk downstairs and see Jinx laying on the couch.

"Mornin, Lux," she greets. "Did I wake you, sleepyhead?" Her pet names get old quick.

"Yes, actually. You don't play loud music at 7:30 in the morning. Remember, we have a guest."

"Veigar? He's over there," she says, pointing to the kitchen. Sure enough, Veigar is making a large stack of pancakes. He should be resting.

"Shouldn't you be resting?" I ask him. I hope he doesn't lash out at me.

"Me? I'm fine. I wanted to properly thank you all for letting me into your home yesterday and taking care of me. You saved my life, after all," he answers. "I didn't mean to wake you, though. If I did, I apologize."

"You did not. She did," I say. I am aware that Jinx is ignoring us. She starts singing along to her music.

"As the masses came, like a shadow through this land," she sings loudly.

"They laid siege to all we ever had," Veigar follows... wait, what? Even Jinx looks over.

"You know this song?" she asks.

"You kidding? Pentakill is arguably the best metal band in Runtera. I even went to their concert live in Bandle City."

Jinx's jaw drops. It seems like finding someone she has things in common with is enough to shut her up.

"Lucky. She never lets us do anything fun," she whines. I admit I need to loosen up every once in a while, but I will not go to Jinx's extreme.

Veigar chuckles and flips another pancake. "Don't be shy," he says. "Plenty for everyone."

I look at his workspace, and to my surprise, I see no mess. That's a first. I'm used to Jinx cooking and having half the meal all over the place, even on the ceiling (don't ask how). She also never cleans up after herself, so I am the one who has to do it. I was worried that the infamous tiny master of evil would live up to his name, but he has kept all the food off the ceiling and the walls. It's a nice break.

A take a couple pancakes and put some syrup and butter on them. I take a bite, and wouldn't you know it, these are the best pancakes I have ever had.

Veigar walks to me and hands me a glass of orange juice that he hand squeezed himself. After a sip, I conclude that he is a better cook than all five of us.

"This is fantastic, Veigar," I compliment. "I think your title should be "tiny master of cooking." Then again, I think I'm just used to Jinx's messes and her mediocre cooking."

"Shut up," Jinx says from the couch. Veigar chuckles.

"It's the least I can do, but I do want to talk to you about something on my mind." He keeps his voice low, so Jinx can't hear us under her music.

"Is Lulu that friendly towards strangers? Any normal person, yordle or human, would have actually done everything to ensure I died in that situation. Instead, she took me here and made sure I was comfortable and safe."

I look at him. It is a very good question.

"Lulu is a bit too kind for her own good, but she has a way to tell if someone has a good heart or a bad one. Obviously, your heart is good enough in her eyes to be worth saving."

"Well, that's interesting. Apparently the "tiny master of evil" isn't," he mused. I chuckled.

There was a brief pause in the conversation when I hear, "by the way, is Jinx really that bad of a cook?"

"You don't want to know."

I continue eating breakfast when I see Lulu come downstairs. Speak of the devil.

"Lux, I need to talk to you," she says. I am ready this time and we both head back upstairs.

"I think I am in love with Veigar, but I know my Star Guardian duties prohibit it. I really don't know what to do," she says as a tear makes its way out of her eye. I hug her quickly.

"Love is not prohibited by the First Star," I say. "Veigar and I just had the same conversation. He cares about you deeply, and I want you to be happy."

Lulu looks up and hugs me.

"You're the best Lux," she compliments. I chuckle.

"Veigar made some pancakes downstairs," I say. "And trust me, they are much better than Jinx's."

Lulu rushes downstairs and starts talking to Veigar. I see them both enjoying their breakfast and each other's company. I may not understand how such polar opposites attract, but I don't care as long as my two friends are happy.

Veigar and pancakes: two of Lulu's favorite things. I hope you enjoyed chapter 3!

Shoutouts time. I have one review to address.

Messenger777: I know I'm going to hear about it if I ignore you, so I'd best address this review. Here's the deal: Natural disasters have been common for as long as I can remember. On top of that, these "end of the world predictions" happen on what seems like a yearly basis. That said, there is no need for you, me, or anyone else to panic.

In addition, I refuse to believe that fanfiction, games, anime, movies, and books are the devil's products. They are products created by God's people using the creativity and talents God himself gave to said people. If you disagree with me on that, I will respect your opinion. I will also ask you to respect my opinion, and not shove your opinions down my throat.

A side note for everyone else: I would appreciate it if all reviews were relevant to the content I post. I can take criticism, constructive or otherwise. I do not appreciate, however, irrelevant comments telling me to see things their way.

I really wasn't looking forward to that rant, but it needed to be said. I hope I didn't come off as harsh. If I did, I am sorry.
