Hey guys thank you for your reviews ;) This chapter was written and then it got deleted 0-0, then my computer crashed yesterday. Needless to say I have not been having a good past few days…but as promised here is the next chapter. Enjoy :)

(At the Bennett House)

"Mom! Pitch and Jack are here!" Jamie called as his two siblings came into the house.

"We play!" Sophie immediately grabbed Pitch by the hand and dragged him up the stairs before the Nightmare King could protest.

Jack laughed, "It's always nice to see that she never slows down."

"Yeah," Jamie grinned, "Oh, Mitch is also coming."

"All right! I was hoping that Greed would let him." Jack smiled as he and Jamie went into the living room.

Jamie nodded, "Yeah, he was really disappointed when his dad made him leave before we had dinner last time."

"Why was that anyway?"

"Greed had something 'come' up."

Jack smiled as Patrick came in, "Like 'collecting' on a deal?"

Patrick shrugged, "Something like that…" he then smiled, "So where should I put my contribution?"

"You can cook?" Jack raised an eyebrow at the container of food in his hands

"You find that hard to believe?" the Leprechaun smirked

"A little." Jack laughed

"Patrick, so good of you to come." Rashana spoke as she came down the stairs, "Is Iris coming?"

"Iris sends her apologies; she had business to attend in the West."

"I understand, come you can set your dish in the kitchen." She smiled, "Is your brother able to come this time?"

"Greed should be here in a moment." Patrick was saying as he followed her out of the room

"So Jamie, how has school been?" the winter spirit asked as he grabbed the video game controller

"Same old, same old." Jamie laughed as he started the console, "Though it's getting hectic now that we're coming to the end of the year."

"But it's only the end of April?"

Jamie laughed, "I meant the school year, it ends in May."

"Oh," Jack grinned, "I'm glad I didn't have to go to school except in December."

"Lucky." Jamie shook his head, "So, are we placing the usual wager on this?"

Jack grinned, "Of course, loser gives the winner their dessert."

"They start young now days."

Both turned as the voice of Greed filled the room

"Mr. Greed, how are you?" Jamie spoke politely as he got to his feet to greet him

Sapphire eyes gleamed as he nodded in approval, "At least one of Moon's children have manners."

Jack smiled, "That's because he hasn't hung out with me long enough."

Greed shook his head; he glanced at the screen, "So you rot your brains with this garbage also?" he watched as Jamie and Jack began their fight

Mitch frowned as he came in, "It's not garbage dad, and you'd like it if you ever sat down and played."

"As if I have time for such nonsense." He huffed as he walked out of the room and into the kitchen

Mitch sighed as he sat down beside his friends, "I just wish that he'd take time for me every now and then. I mean, don't get me wrong, I know he loves me but he's always so busy."

"It's ok Mitch; your dad's just got a lot on his plate." Jamie smiled

"No!" the winter spirit cried out as his character met an untimely end; he looked at Mitch and smirked, "You know what would make you feel better?"

"What?" Mitch grinned at Jack's expression

"Kicking Jamie's butt at this game."

"Hey!" Jamie faked hurt, "So that's how it's going to be huh?" he grinned when they both nodded, "Fine, I'll take you both on, since I just dusted Jack."

Mitch just shook his head, "I hope you guys know we need to be in the kitchen right?"

"Oh right," Jamie laughed, "Ok, then I'll decimate you both after dinner."

"You can try." Jack smirked as he got up and followed Jamie and Mitch into the kitchen. The winter spirit smiled at the sight of Greed and Patrick arguing over who got to sit where.

"You just want to sit here because I am." Patrick bristled at his brother who was standing by his chair

"I was the one invited, you just showed up."Greed retorted, "So I should have first choice of where to sit."

At that moment Sophie and Pitch walked in, the later glaring at Greed.

Sophie however marched over to Patrick, "My seat." She pointed at his chair.

"I'm sorry Sophie," Patrick grinned as he got up.

"That ok." She smiled as she got into the chair; she patted the chair next to her and motioned for Pitch to sit down.

"She's got you wrapped around her pinkie doesn't she?" Patrick laughed as everyone began to settle

Pitch smiled, "Little devil." He glanced at Greed, "So how many people have you kidnapped lately?"

"Pritchard, that is uncalled for." Rashana spoke sternly as she passed out plates, "Greed has been very helpful to this family, and we owe him."

Pitch whispered to Patrick, "Yeah, he's about as helpful as a bullet to the head."

"Or a knife to the back." The Leprechaun whispered back as Greed complimented Rashana on the dinner.

"Pritchard I asked did you want some potatoes?" Rashana asked interrupting them

"Sure mother." Pitch smiled as he took the plate, he passed it to Patrick

"This is really good mom." Jack spoke in between bites of food

"Thank you Jackson," Rashana smiled as she watched her family eat

"Here," Sophie pushed her plate towards Pitch

"Sorry tornado, I'm not eating your vegetables for you." Pitch smiled at her

"You are heartless." Greed smirked as the little girl started tearing up

Rashana shook her head, "Sophie usually gives them to Cazador." she smiled, "That boy can't say no to her."

"Where is Caz anyway?" Patrick spoke as Pitch tried to console Sophie

Rashana laughed, "He went out hunting, he'll be home later tonight."

Patrick laughed, "Oh, well he's going to miss the dessert I made." the Leprechaun spoke as he got up and grabbed the container he had brought

Greed raised an eyebrow, "Tell me you didn't…"

"I did!" Patrick spoke with pride as he pulled the top off, "This is my best creation ever!"

The occupants of the table stared in astonishment at the delectable cake in front of them.

"Patrick, that looks delicious." Rashana smiled as she cleared the food plates and Jamie handed out clean plates

"Thank you; it's a cake with an Irish kick. My favorite Irish stout went right into the chocolate cake batter, and then Irish cream liqueur flavors the thick, creamy frosting. Then I topped it with a rich chocolate drizzle."

"I believe Sophie should stick with ice cream." Pitch smiled as he got up and grabbed some from the freezer

Sophie squealed with delight as he placed the bowl in front of her, she immediately began stuffing the dessert in her mouth

"Jamie, can we please go back on that bet?" the winter spirit pleaded, his mouth watering as he eyed the cake being passed around

Hazel eyes glanced at Greed, "Greed, what do you do when someone wants out of a contract?"

"I let them out," the man smirked, "Slowly, and painfully. Most of the time with a well placed bullet."

Jamie smiled, "Well I guess that options out…" he smiled, "I'll just settle for a favor."

"No problem." Jack grinned as Jamie handed him a plate of cake, "Oh man this is amazing!"

"Thank you," Patrick bowed slightly

Greed rolled his eyes as he took a bite, "This is nothing compared to the white chocolate cheesecake with my own personal brandy sauce that goes into the white chocolate."

"Can't you just give me props?"Patrick glowered at Greed

"I will when you deserve it." Greed countered

"So Greed, will Mitch be staying with us tonight?" Rashana spoke up before the brothers could come to blows

"I don't…"

"Please dad!" Mitch pleaded, his eyes taking on the 'look', "It's the weekend."

"Oh all right," Greed sighed, "I have a meeting tomorrow anyway." he pushed his chair back as he rose, "Thank you so much for the dinner Mrs. Bennett but I must get back to the Resort."

Rashana smiled, "You are more than welcome."

Pitch watched as Greed disappeared in a burst of flames, "It is getting late we should be getting back to the Pole."

"Come on Pitch, can I stay here?" Jack pleaded, "Me and Mitch have to kick Jamie's butt at video games."

Rashana smiled, "That's fine with me." she laughed as Jack and Jamie high fived.

Patrick laughed, "I have the feeling that there will be little sleeping going on."

Jack smiled, "Don't tell Sandy." then all three boys raced from the kitchen into the living room

Golden eyes rolled as he began helping Rashana clear the table, "Please let me know if I need to stay."

Rashana laughed, "I'll be fine Pritchard, usually I have all of Jamie's friends over so I'm used to having a house full."

"Let me know if you need anything mother."

"Don't go." Sophie pouted as she grabbed Pitch's sleeve as he started towards the shadows

Pitch smiled, "I'll be back tomorrow tornado."

"Ok." the little girl smiled as she ran from the room

Rashana rolled her eyes as a crash and Jamie's yell of 'Mom!' echoed from the living room, "I'll see you later sweetie." she hugged Pitch

Pitch smiled as his mother walked into the living room to handle the situation; he then disappeared into the shadows.

(Later that Night)

"Cazador catch two squirrel." the spirit smiled as he came into the room

"Did you leave them outside this time?" Jamie asked as the boy sat on the floor

"Cazador remember," the spirit huffed, "Night's Sun's mate very upset last time Cazador bring deer to cave."

Jack laughed, "Well grab a controller; we are playing video games till our eyes burn out of their sockets!"

Cazador smiled, "I be Yellow Mouse?"

"Of course." Jamie smiled

"Cazador beat both…" he paused his gaze falling on the kitchen, "Who else here?"

"Mitch, he's making popcorn."

Brown eyes gleamed, "Cazador love Corn of Pop."

Mitch laughed as he came in, "Hey Cazador, did you have a good hunt?"

Cazador grinned as Mitch sat beside him, "Yes, Cazador got two squirrel. Want see?"

"That's ok Cazador." Mitch smiled as he handed the popcorn to Jamie, "Let's just play."

"Ok." the spirit nodded as he grabbed a controller, "You be on Cazador side?"

Mitch nodded, "I got your back." the boy grinned as he chose his character

"That sounds like a challenge to me Jack." Jamie glanced at his brother

"Definitely bro." blue eyes shined as the game began.

So enthused with their game none of the boys were aware of the shadows shifting outside, nor were they aware of the silver eyes that gleamed with anticipation as they emerged from the darkness.

Please review and let me know what you thought :) I am suppose to be getting a new computer so I hope that I won't have to worry about it crashing… Anyway, Till Next Time ;)
