"We are going to have a slumber party." I announced quiet enthusiastically.

Myka leaped up from where she was sitting on the floor with Claudia and started jumping up and down, clapping with excitement. "When?"

"Tonight of course." I answered as if it was horribly obvious.

"You know Helena, I don't know if that is such a good idea." Claudia said standing up.

"Why not?" I asked, my hands on my hips.

"It's been a really long day." Claudia tried to explain.

"Please mom." Myka turned begging and Claudia paled.

"Sure honey." She said patting Myka's back.

"Yay." I shrieked before taking Myka's hand and running up the stairs to my bed room.

I had it all planned out, we would build a blanket fort and when we were laying really close in the dark I was going to tell Myka I had a crush on her. It was going to be perfect. It didn't take us long to construct the blanket fort and make a semi-soft bed on the floor of it and I was starting to get nervous. It was a stupid idea. Myka wouldn't like me back.

"Helena, my mom has these really nifty costume things that are like pj's maybe she would let us sleep in them." Myka said, beaming.

"Go ask her." I urged, desperate for time to muster my courage back up. At thirteen it was terrifying to tell someone you liked them, and it was only worse when that person was your best friend.

I watched her leave and sat on my bare mattress, wondering if this was really the best thing to do. Would it not be better to leave things as they were? Before I had time to decide if I was changing my plan Myka came back with Claudia in tow. Myka smiled, pulling the two bundles of cloth from Claudia and handing me a bright blue one. I carefully shook it out to see it was a blue and white owl made out of ridiculously soft fabric.

"I am going to go get changed in the bathroom, then we can watch movies and stuff." Myka said before disappearing again and leaving me to get changed. As Claudia was leaving I heard her muttering.

"I swear to God if Pete and Steve don't find this fucking artifact soon."

I stopped staring at the door that she just closed behind her. What was an artifact and what did Uncle Pete and Uncle Steve have to do with it? After a moment I shrugged it off.

I was just finishing getting the complicated clothing on when Myka came back in, dressed as a bright orange fox. I turned around smiling and putting my arms out at my side so the blue wings would drop down.

"These are awesome." I said, spinning around on one foot.

"Movie time." Myka said, her smile telling me that she agreed.

I nodded, taking my place in the blanket fort as she set up the movie she wanted to watch. When she finally sat down beside me I pulled the blankets over our legs, the space between them small.

"So what is this?" I asked, motioning towards the tv screen.

I noticed a light blush creep up Myka's face. "It's about a girl who falls in love with her teacher."

My eyes widened. "Did you steal this from your mom's girlfriend?"

"I would never steal from Leena. Borrow without asking, now that is a different story." Myka answered laughing.

I tried to be angry with her but this was going to work out perfectly. Maybe.

When the movie was finally over, we were both really sleepy. Right before I drifted off, I found my courage. "I like you Myka. Like, like like, you."

She turned to me and smiled and a moment later I felt her hand slipping into mine.


I sat straight up, the room was still dark. "What the bloody hell?" I muttered, my back aching from being on the floor. Why was I on the floor?

I looked over to see Myka in a similar state, but then I took in the fox pajamas she was wearing and quickly looked down to see I was wearing similar ones, only mine were of an owl.

"Myka? What the bloody hell happened?"

"I think we were whammied." Myka answered, her own disgust clear upon seeing her attire. "What the hell are we wearing?"

"I haven't a clue, but we are never speaking of this." I said, moving out of the fort, removing the atrocity that was my clothing as I went. Looking around the room in the low light from the moon, I found my normal silk night gown and slipped into that while Myka found the spare nightgown she kept in my room.

We went to quick work putting the bed back together before falling into, pulling each other close. "Who the hell would have those things anyway?" Myka asked, putting her head on my breast.

"Claudia." I said, my eyes cutting into slits even though the girl wasn't present for me to berate.

"Oh god. We are never living this down." Myka sighed.
