******************************* PART 11 *********************************
When Hannah and I come to the main library, Thierry is nowhere to be seen.
After asking the staff and the soulmate couples where he could be and nobody has seen him for a while, Hannah and I decide to give up.
"Where can he be?" I ask no one in particular.
"I have no idea." Hannah sighs.
We are in one of the many rec rooms seeing if by some odd chance Thierry would be in here, but no.
Hannah and I seat ourselves on the lilac velvet covered couch that sits near the window. This must be the only couch Thierry owns that isn't leather. I think to myself.
Just as we sit down, the door to the rec room opens and who should appear from the other side? You guessed it. Thierry.
"Where the hell have you been?" I demand, startling Hannah, Thierry and myself with the tone that I am using. I didn't know that Thierry had an authoritive voice like this.
"I was out seeing if I could talk to the Inner Circle about our little, and I use the word lightly, situation." He replies looking at me dumbfounded.
"Well. While you were out gallivanting, we were trying to look for you to ask you something important." I glare at him.
"I wasn't out gallivanting." He replies. "Ask me what?" He looks at me confused.
"We wanted to ask you if the party for the Summer Solstice is still on? Considering that it's tonight and your…condition." Hannah interjects, trying to keep the peace between Thierry and me.
"It's tonight?" Thierry asks even more dumbfounded than before.
"Yes." Both Hannah and I reply in unison.
"Well, we certainly can't cancel it, everyone is looking forward to it. Everyone, except me that is." He replies. "Though we can postpone it until Nila and I get our bodies switched back." He adds looking off into a middle distance.
"Why don't we ask the others what they want to do? Maybe they'll want it to go ahead as planned and have the party tonight, or maybe they'll agree to postpone it until a later date?" I suggest.
"I think that's a good idea." Hannah agrees. "What about you Thierry?"
"Yes. I think that's the best plan." He agrees as well.
"Great. Let's go round up the others." I say getting up off the very comfy couch and head out the door with Hannah and Thierry following behind.

After finding and rounding up all of the soulmate couples and their siblings, we all meet up an hour and a half after Thierry, Hannah and I had our discussion.
It took an hour to find everyone and half an hour to round them up.
We are all sitting in Thierry's lush living room, with Thierry up at the front trying to get everyone's attention, but failing to do so.
"Will everybody please shut up for a moment?" He yells in my high-pitched girly voice.
Nobody even flinches at him.
"Allow me?" I lean in close and whisper in his ear.
"Sure. Go ahead. They're probably used to my booming voice." He replies.
I take a deep breath, then…
"Will everybody shut your mouths for a minute? Please?" I yell, getting everyone's undivided attention.
"Well. Now that Nila has gotten everyone's undivided attention, I would like at this time to point out that we have a slight problem at hand." Thierry starts.
"What's the problem Thierry?" Morgead asks.
"The problem being the party for the Summer Solstice is tonight, and I don't know whether to go ahead with the party, considering the situation the Nila and I are in. Now, would everybody please tell me if you wish for the party to go ahead tonight, or postpone it to a later date?" Thierry continues.
There are murmurs all around the room on what should happen, but it is not understandable.
"Show of hands." I start in Thierry's authoritive voice. "Raise your hands if you would like for the party to go ahead tonight?"
About three quarters of the room raises their hands.
"Raise your hands if you would like for the party to be postponed to a later date?" Thierry asks.
The other quarter of the room raises their hands.
"Well, it looks as though the party is on tonight then." I say to the room.
"Is it still a costume ball though?" Poppy asks.
"Only if you want it to be." Thierry mumbles.
"Okay. Another vote." Poppy continues. "Raise your hand if you want tonight's party to still be a costume party?" She finishes.
Everyone's hand goes up at this.
"Uh-huh. And why do you guys want this to be a costume party?" I ask bewildered.
"Well, because we've already got our costumes, so it'll be a waste not to use them." Iliana points out.
"Okay. Point taken." I mumble. "So…what time does the party start at?"
"Seven o'clock." Thierry replies.
"Oh. Okay then." I say.

(Medusa) "Alright. You've left me know choice. I am now going to blow up…………………L. J SMITH!!! That's right, Ms. Smith is going to be skyrocketed to the farthest moon surrounding Jupiter."
(Lisa Jane) "Who are you? Why are you trying to kill me?"
(Medusa) "Because you beloved fans won't review my story. So now I'm going to blow you to Jupiter's farthest moon."
(Lisa Jane) "You'll hear from my lawyer."
(Medusa) "No, I'll hear you screaming into outer space before I'll hear from your lawyer."
(L J) "Who are you?"
(Medusa) "Yes. Who are you is the name of my story. I want people to review it. My name is………………………Medusa Descouedres."
(L J) "Any relation to Thierry Descouedres?"
(Medusa) "Maybe. I don't know. OH, ENOUGH WITH THE TWENTY QUESTIONS. TELL YOUR FANS TO REVIEW MY BLOODY STORY OR YOU GO ON A TRIP INTO OUTER SPACE. AND I MEAN IT!!!!!"
(L J) "Damn PMS."
(Medusa) "I heard that."
(L J) "Okay, fine. Please review this…insane woman's story. I'll give you all free copies of any of the books that I write from now on."
(Medusa) "You've got… ::looks at watch:: ten minutes."
A/N: By the way I have nothing against any of the persons or animals mentioned here, that I threatened to blow up. I love and worship the works of Ms. Smith and have no intentions of doing her any harm. I am merely being funny. Sorry Ms. Smith, I love you really. And besides it's going to be a bit hard to do any harm to Ms. Smith considering that we live quite a few thousand miles away from each other, and I have no intentions of hurting her as I have already said.
