*~*~*~*~* Chapter 12: The Beginnings of a Plan *~*~*~*~*
Night woke up to the sound of running water. Moaning tiredly, she flipped over onto her back (she had slept on her stomach) and ran into Trouble's warm body.
"Mmmm... Warm," Night muttered incoherently and dropped back asleep. The water stopped running and after five minutes Holly walked into her bedroom. She felt a pang in her gut when she saw her best friend curled up against Trouble.
"Night! NIGHT!" Holly hissed and nudged her friend.
"Hmm... What?" She asked.
"Do you want to use the shower?" Holly asked.
"Sure, why not?" Night didn't move.
"Night, you're going to have to move then," Holly informed her.
"Warm," Night murmured. (A/N: Whoo! The first time I ever spelt murmured right on the first time!)
"Get up Night," Holly kicked her friend.
"I'm getting, I'm getting," Night rolled away from the warm body and unwrapped herself from the blankets. She stood up, stumbled forward a few steps and nearly fell. Her left foot was still entangled with a blanket, "Nuuughh. It's too early."
"It's seven forty-five," Holly informed Night.
"Damnit, I wanna skip," Night muttered.
"Whatever," Holly rolled her eyes as Night stumbled into the bathroom. A few seconds later there was a hiss as the shower turned on. Holly walked over to her bed and sat on it. A glint on the night table next to her caught her eye. Holly was drawn immediately and picked up the Dagger. She spun it casually around in her fingers thinking about all the unexpected horrors it had brought into her life.
"Holly, quit playing with that," Trouble was sitting up and looking at Holly, his eyebrows drawn together in worry. Holly put the Dagger down as Night walked out of the bathroom, wearing the same clothes as yesterday.
"Hey, didn't you just go in there?" Holly looked at Night confused.
"Holly, it's eight," Night joined Trouble in looking worried.
"But..." Holly said, then stopped.
"Shower's yours, Trouble," Night said, changing the subject.
"Thanks," Trouble walked into the bathroom. A minute later he was out.
"Whoa, do you have an aversion to water or something, Trouble?" Night asked. Trouble just looked at her, a comical sight. Trouble was wearing nothing but a towel.
"Trouble, put some clothes on," Holly rolled her eyes. Trouble turned his gaze onto Holly, softening very quickly. Trouble ambled out of the room.
"It would had been soooo funny if his towel fell off," Night giggled. Holly blushed and glared at Night.
"Get your mind out of the gutter," Holly glared.
"I'm sorry, but that is where it lives," Night grinned and stood up, "Breakfast?" She inquired.
"One minute," Holly put away Night and Trouble's bed and walked out of the door, leaving her own bed a complete mess, "Coming?"
"Food!" Night grinned and jogged out of the door at the same time Trouble opened his.
"Food, food, food!" Night cheerfully sang.
"Uhhhg... shut up," Trouble groaned.
"Trouble's not a morning person, nope, nope not at all," Night skipped ahead of Holly and Trouble.
"Neither am I," Cedar said as Night skipped into the kitchen.
"You're all weird."
"Smells good Dad," Holly smiled.
"What is it?" Night bounded up and down.
"French toast."
"Yum yum yum!"
Cedar set the food out on four plates and the elves all sat down to eat. Night was singing some odd song, Holly ate her food but looked like she was off in her own world, Trouble avoided everyone's gaze and kept his head down and Cedar just ate.
"Mmm... Good evening everyone," Primrose walked in in her dressing gown.
"'lo Mom," Holly mumbled.
"Top o' the morning!" Night smiled and swayed in her chair. Primrose raised an eyebrow.
"Good evening darling," Cedar stood up and gave his wife a kiss. Trouble looked away, Night continued singing and Holly just ate.
"French toast. Looks good Honey," Primrose said and took a bite from Cedar's plate.
"There's more on the frying pan thing," Cedar nodded in its direction.
"I hate to rush, but we've got to go," Holly said and stood up. She put her plate in the dishwasher. Trouble followed suit and Night took another piece of French toast.
"Yum yum," Night chirped.
"Night, come on. We're going to be late," Holly said.
"One minute," Night said with a mouthful food. She swallowed and stuffed the rest of the toast in her mouth and put her dishes in the dishwasher, "Are we going?"
"Yes Night," Holly sighed and shook her head, "Goodbye, Mom, Dad."
"Bye Holly, bye Night, bye Trouble," they said.
"Bye," Night chirped.
"Goodbye and thanks for letting us stay here," Trouble said politely.
"Oh yeah! What he said," Night said cheerfully and hopped out of the house with Holly and Trouble trailing along behind.
*~*~*~*~*
"What where you doing at my house last night?" a blindingly pink clothed figure stood in front of the trio.
"Saving your life or attempting to kill you. I'm not sure about Trouble, though," Night said then tried to move past.
"Tell me!" Lili asked.
"I did. Now move!" Night said.
"Liar."
"Look here Frond. I'm not lying," Night's eyes narrowed.
"And you expect me to believe that, Shade?" Lili looked scornfully at Night.
"Damn. I liked her ditzyness better," Holly muttered.
"Actually, I don't expect you to believe it. You're too narrow-minded to look past yourself. Get over it. I saved your life," Night eyes' darkened.
"You're worthless, worthless both of you!" Lili crossed her arms and drew herself up to her full height. Night was still taller than her. Holly's eyes flashed a familiar red and she charged for Lili. Night looked like she was attempting not to do the same thing. Holly rammed Lili in the stomach, knocking her the ground. Somehow, Lili twisted oddly and her forehead hit the pavement. Blue sparks to the rescue.
When Lili woke up again, she was back to the ditzyness and questioning the girls. Finally, Night snapped.
"LOOK LIBIMBO! WE'VE TOLD YOU OVER AND OVER AGAIN! WE ARE NOT LYING! LEAVE US ALONE!"
"Fine," Lili turned in an extremely ditzy manner and flounced away. Trouble ran forward and caught up with Lili and walked with her. Holly glared jealously at Lili.
"Get over it Holly. He won't be able to stand her for long. He'll be yours sooner or later," Night said consolingly.
"I have no idea what you are talking about, Night."
*~*~*~*~*
"JULIUS! JULIUS! I'VE GOT IT!" Foaly cantered excitedly into Root's office.
"Don't call me that, pony-boy," Root ground his cigar.
"What have you got, Foaly?" Cedar asked.
"The Troll Pop. Problem!" Foaly danced excitedly around the small office.
"Well then, what is it?" Root asked impatiently.
"I did a scan for magick in the area. You should see it! It's hotter than any other place on earth, even Lia Fail! Something with a lot of magick is multiplying Trolls!" Foaly grinned triumphantly.
"That's all fine and dandy, but what good is that going to do us?" Root asked.
"That must have been how I lost my magick. The thing multiplying the Trolls must have similar powers to Parazonium!" Cedar eyes light up with realisation.
"Parazonium?" Foaly and Root asked at the same time.
"The Dagger. Night oh-so-kindly filled us in on everything last night," Cedar said.
"Of course! But it couldn't be the Dagger; you're house is too far away. It's something else," Root chewed vigorously on his cigar.
"Could somebody explain this to me?" Foaly whined.
"Of course," Cedar said then brought Foaly up to date.
"Why don't we use this Dagger to take the magick from the hot spot?" Foaly asked.
"Why don't we?" Root smirked and picked up the phone and handed it to Cedar, "Call up the two girls, we've got a battle plan to discuss."
*~*~*~*~*
A/N: And that is it for chapter 12... And you wanna know what I learnt in Science? That if someone did get hit on the head, his or her personalities can change! Isn't that cool? I didn't even know that when I wrote about Night throwing a shot-put ball at Lili! I'm brilliant! MWHAHAHA! Apparently, there was this US Senator or something... Why does the States have all these weird things? Maybe I should pay more attention to the 'Heritage Moment' commercials that play constantly on De Ja View... Learn some things about my own country for a change...
