I don't think anything will top the last chapter, but here goes nothing! I hope you all enjoy!

Septimus yawned quietly, slowly flying downstairs. His wings were protesting slightly, but this was only because he'd slept a little too well. He'd have to stretch them out if he were going to move with them today. Besides, as strange as it was, he liked stretching his wings like this, and the gentle ache it gave.

The demon flew down to the table, slowly lowering himself into the chair, looking forward and finding Silver at the table, barely awake, and Gold in the kitchen, slowly making breakfast. And while Gold was clearly better, Septimus DID find him moving a bit too slowly. Perhaps he was feeling a little sluggish after everything.

In truth, Septimus WAS pretty concerned by how Gold suddenly got better. Stuff like that didn't just happen. Not for them. But who would want to heal Gold? Not that Gold wasn't a great guy or anything, but hardly anyone had the strength or power to do so. And whoever did had to be bad news... that's what things led to often for them. Who would revive Gold like that? And why? Septimus wanted to know... this was truly something to worry about... he'd keep cool for his brothers, as Flash knew that his brothers didn't need this crap, but he couldn't help but worry...

Finally Gold arrived with their breakfast, placing it down on the table and slowly sitting in his own chair.

" Hey guys. "

Gold suddenly began, sounding confused really.

" Did either of you hear someone singing last night? "

" Singing...? "

Silver muttered, slowly lifting his head from the table and turning to Gold.

" No... I didn't hear anything. You Septimus? "

" N-no, nothing. "

Septimus hurried, looking off to the side. Since none of them had supposedly sung, then had it been Bronze...? Nah. It couldn't be. Bronze never sung in fear of sounding off. That, and Septimus really HADNT HEARD anything. Perhaps Gold wasn't truly 100% better yet. Maybe he needed a bit more rest.

" Huh. "

Gold hummed, looking down and grabbing his egg sandwich before taking a rather large bite.

" Strange. "

The sound of footsteps began to fill the room, and the boys quickly realized Bronze was finally up. They all eagerly turned to the staircase, just to find something unusual.

Bronze was wearing a dark attire of his black, long sleeved shirt, light black jeans and pitch black shoes. His fluffy collar was gone, and his purple jacket was tied around his waist. His golden hair was brushed behind his right ear, reviling his blinded eye, his normally straight and well-kept light brown hair was a horrible mess, and there was black around his eyes. It looked like eyeliner...

The trio could feel their mouths drop, having never seen Bronze so... intimidating before. Or so dark. It was a little terrifying to them.

" U-um... Bronze! "

Gold called, and the others gave him some points for TRYING to remain cheerful. Bronze stopped in his tracks, his back turned to them, looking at them from over his shoulders, the boy now a mere few inches from the door.

" Where are you going? "

" ... Out. "

Bronze said in a scary, icy tone. It truly sent a shiver down Golds spine.

" Wh-why don't you come eat first? Breakfast is the most important meal of the day you know! "

" I'm not hungry. "

This tone sounded a bit more aggressive to Septimus, and he almost feared for the worst to come. He was silently hoping Gold wouldn't keep talking. This looked like it would get ugly...

" Oh come on Bronze! "

Gold said with a chuckle, offering a wide smile.

" A little food ain't gonna kill- "

Bronze suddenly WIPED around to face him, his eyes glaring with intense silvery rage.

" I SAID IM NOT HUNGRY! "

The boy wiped his hand forward, his psychic energy flipping the entire table and throwing it at the wall. The trio simply sat there, each one horribly dazed before turning to Bronze, finding the creature huff and walk out the door.

Septimus panted lightly, trying to calm down a little before turning to Gold. The angel was seemingly stuck in his state of shock before slowly looking down at his lap, his sapphire eyes growing watery. The fire demon bit his lip, deciding it best he not say anything, beginning to clean up the mess. He couldn't help but wonder why Bronze had suddenly SNAPPED like that though...

" Thanks for coming out and walking with Casper. "

Thatch said softly, offering up a gentle smile.

" It's been a bit since we've hung out and just talked. "

" It really has. "

Currently the duo was walking around the park, truly just enjoying the sunny day. And as they said, it truly had been a while since they could just talk in peace, and even just share their thoughts. Casper honestly worried a bit for Thatch, especially since he'd been kidnapped by that psycho alien (yes, he had been informed of the trios abduction) and barely escaped with his, Mantha's and Zeke's lives. He worried Thatch may still be a little stressed out, and feared that he may resort to, ah... self harm.

Seeing as how Thatch often turned to that when stressed, that caused Casper to worry. Especially now since his cuff links were gone. He wished Pyro hadn't broken them...

The demons eyes blazed a furious neon blue, and he pulled his fist back, now burning with hellfire before SLAMMING it into the cuffs. This time, not only did it knock Thatch further back than normal, but it completely SHATTERED the cuff links. To make things worse, before Thatch could even gather his bearings, Pyro zipped forward and launched another fist at him, this time knocking him clear off his feet.

The image of the cuff links shattering was still glued to Casper's mind as well... he wished they hadn't broken. He didn't know if Thatch had kicked that habit.

It was also kinda why he agreed to walk with him today. Don't get him wrong, he truly enjoyed spending some time with Thatch. Especially since they hadn't really gotten to hang out lately. But he truly wondered how the other was doing on his mental sense...

Taking a deep breath, deciding it was time to speak up, he slowly, shakily asked.

" H-hey Thatch? "

The vampire turned his way, his smile falling.

" I-I'm sorry, I-I know you don't like talking about this but... ah... h-how are your wrists doing...? "

Surprisingly, Thatch didn't seem upset. He actually seemed... pleased. Slowly the vampire pulled his sleeves back, showing Casper his arms. Perfectly free of scars or injuries.

" Great. "

Thatch said softly, still smiling brightly.

" The scars healed up nicely and, honestly, I-I feel as though I may have finally kicked that habit to the curb. "

" That's great Thatch! "

Casper cheered, getting the other to blush a good deal.

" Yes... truly great that you've quit being pathetic. "

The duo jumped lightly, turning around in shock to find Bronze standing a few feet away, not looking very impressed with the pair before him.

Casper quickly turned back to Thatch, finding the other looking down as if greatly saddened. Feeling a little worried by this, Casper turned back to Bronze, his eyes pleading for some form of explanation.

" Bronze, Wh-why would you say something so awful? "

To his surprise, Bronze's expression remained cold, the psychic suddenly pushing his way passed the two and walking away as he responded.

" I'm only stating he was pathetic before was all. "

Casper turned to Thatch, finding the others head hung so low he could no longer see his eyes. His fists were clenched and shaking as well, and the ghost feared this greatly.

" Th-Thatch I... "

He tried, not knowing what to say.

" I'm sure he didn't mean- "

" No. "

Thatch said, surprisingly calmly, quickly looking back up glaring, a certain fire in his eyes.

" He was right. I WAS pathetic. But I'm working on that. And I think I'm doing great. I won't give up now just because HES in a mood. Come on Casper. "

The vampire said calmly, turning and walking away.

" Let's go back to school. "

Casper wouldn't say it, but he truly admired the others strength right now. It was... extraordinary. Still... he'd ask the Winchester's what was up with Bronze later. Whatever just happened didn't seem... normal to him...

Gah... I don't enjoy making my sweet little Bronze be so mean... I swear he isn't mean on a normal basis! He's such a shy, sweet little teddy bear! X(

Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed.
