Lillth went home after being at the beach with Rosa. She needed to have a shower and dress for dinner at her house. Rosa's family never dressed formally for dinner when it was just them. So she decided to wear her jeans and off the shoulder green top that would make her eyes stand out. She figured she looked pretty good. She put on my green sandals and started throwing things into her bag. She was going to sleep over to. Rosa's father joked that Lillth should have her own room there. She'd love it if they would adopt her. Rosa is practically her sister.

"Hey all" Lillth said loudly to everyone in the lounge room.

"You look nice" Rosa whispered. "How long did it take you?" She was teasing her now.

"Not that long if you must know" She whispered back. She walked into the lounge room and sat down with Rosa and started gossiping to her. Then James came over.

"You look lovely tonight Lil haven't seen you for a long time" He said in a sexy voice. Rosa whispered she'd be back in a while. She smiled at her as she went off toward the kitchen.

"So what have you been up to in your travels?" She asked feeling a little giddy that he was paying attention to her. "Anything exciting, I heard you were in New York when the attacks happened what was it like?"

"It was pretty scary actually but afterwards I felt kind of stupid for being scared" He replied

"Did you see any of the mutants?"

"No they hid themselves very well none of the secret services could find them, but they did find a few dead mutants. No one knows what happened though."

"Wow must have been pretty cool to protect the president though."

"Yeah it was. Wanna go to the kitchen I'm a bit peckish I haven't eaten for a while."

"Sure. I'm starving I don't think I've eaten since lunch."

"What do you think of mutants anyway?" He asked. Lillth was a little stunned by his question no one really asked her before. Rosa and she have ever only bitched bout unfair it is for them.

"Umm i think that they should be able to just live like they always have. I don't see the point in mutant registration at all. Which I guess is weird considering my father. What do you think about it?"

"I think the same thing you do" He replied with a smile that nearly made her knees buckle.

"Really? Normally no one asks my opinion. Rosa and I just bitch bout it."

"Yes I do. You know I've always trusted you. Remember when you came over all those times and Rosa wasn't here or was to busy to play? We used to have so much fun" He smiled at the memories.

"Dinner is ready!" Rosa shouted.

It was fun to watch Rosa's family at dinner time. They really did love each other. Every now and again Rosa's little brother, Ben, would throw food at James. He would laugh and throw some back while their mother tried to make them stop but was laughing herself. Rosa's house didn't have servants like Lillth's did. So they all had chores to do. When she first slept over they had to teach her how to dry the dishes and put them away. They also showed her how to tie dye. It was so much fun. When dinner was finished James and Lillth went to wash and dry the dishes. On the way into the kitchen Rosa winked at her and she smiled back at her.

"So did you meet anyone while protecting the president? Perhaps the presidents' daughter?" Lillth asked him teasingly.

He laughed. "The president would have had my head chopped off if I tried." She laughed too, but hers was mostly relief.

When they finished drying the dishes and put them away Lillth went to look for Rosa. She was yelling her name every where, but when she finally decided to try outside she found her.

"What are you doing outside?" Lillth asked

"Oh sorry it was a bit stuffy inside. Why aren't you still with James?" Rosa asked teasingly

"We finished the dishes" Lillth shrugged. She smiled.

"Well I'll be right back I want to get a drink"

"Ok" She replied.
