AN : Hi everyone, thanks for reviewing, I really appriciate it!!!!! Here's the fifth chapter, enjoy!!!!!


A few days later, two days before Starla and Juan's wedding, we decided to have dinner at the Pointed Crown. The staff at the Pointed Crown had set us up on a long table in the center of the restaurant. Many had shown up, fighting to get a place.

Angelo and I were the first to come, punctual as ever. Then Cosmo and Timmy showed up, with Starla and Juan, cuddly as ever. Let me rephrase that, Starla was cuddly enough for both of them. It made me feel sick!

The last to arrive was Jorgen von Strangle, though I stongly suspect he only came to see Juan's reaction to all this..

The first drinks were ordered and the party got started. Angelo crancked up the jukebox and was singing along loudly, even though he only got two glasses of fairy-wine..

I sat in between Angelo and Cosmo, who became more frightening more and more every minute!

So after the appetizers and the third round, I switched places so they sit next to eachother. I was now sitting in between the tooth fairy and Stacie, and across from Juan...

"An-gélo's surely acting like he's in love with you, Wandita." Juan said."Have you mentioned him to me before?"

I sighed deeply, taken aback by that comment...'Luckily Angel was too drunk to hear Juan's remark.' Angelo was a wonderful guy, and would be crushed if I'd never mentioned him to Juan...

"He's just my friend, and I have surely mentioned him before, Juan..." I said angrily.

"Oh si, An-gélo...now I remember..." He said, before returning his attention to Starla, who was having a one-sided conversation with Stacie. Stacie sure looked ready to scratch Starla's eyes out, angry and jealous as she was. As soon as Starla noticed Juan talking to her, she paused her little talk and brushed a quick kiss across his lips.

I sadly gazed at the table. 'Why was he like this? He hadn't said anything to me when he arrived, instead of hugging me tightly, like always.' Perhaps he was angry or hurt cause I had lefthis apartment the other night...

"I hope yoor 'friend' An-gélo stays away from the liquor..." Juan gave Angel a scornful look, and I glared back, infuriated.

"Angel doesn't drink often, Juan..And I don't have to remind you that on several occasions in the past, you got so tipsy I had to drag you back home. Or is your memory suddenly failing you, tonight?"

Juan narrowed his eyes, ready to talk back when besides me, the tooth fairy coughed politely. That was Juan's sign to shut up. He took the hint, and returned his attention to Starla.

I was trying to think of why he was acting like such a jerk, when Angel got to the jukebox and turned the volume up. I recognized the song right away, but the name escaped me. A drunken Cosmo, Angelo and Stacie were swaying and singing along. I laughed out loud when I saw the tooth fairy get a little more than tipsy. They were all yelling the words loud enough for Fairy-World to hear.

Angelo bumped into me, clutching my hand tightly and dropping on one knee as he attempted to bring me a serenade..

"Wanda, let me love you, let me give my life to you...

Let me drown in your laughter, let me die in your arms....

I was laughing so hard I barely noticed Juan fuming across the table from me.

Let me lay down beside you, let me always be with you...

Oh let me love you, come love me again..."

On the last note, Angelo broke out in giggles. I tried straightening him out, while I was doubling over in laughter myself.

"Don't you think he should have a little more self-control, Wandita?" Juan voice drifted patronizingly over the music. "Yoo a-re grown fai-ries, are you not?"

My laughter ceased immediately. I slammed the table so hard the silverware and dishes cluttered loudly. I got up and left the restaurant without a glance back.

Stacie later informed me Juan and Angel stood up at the same time to go after me, but that Angel had fallen back into his chair, muttering something about his head spinning.

That hadn't helped his case, cause it was Juan who followed me outside. I was pacing restlessly, not knowing what to do. I definately wasn't going back to the restaurant, even though I couldn't help but smiling when I heard Jorgen and Cosmo sing an off-key version of 'Heaven Is A Place On Earth.'

I wiped my smile off my face as I heard footsteps behind me. No, I had no idea who this could be...

"Wanda...Need someone to walk you home?" His tone immediately let me know he was sorry. But that wasn't enough, he had gone too far.

"Leave me alone, Juandissimo.." I said, facing the moonlit streets.

Juan walked up to me, till he was right behind me. "I'm muchos sorry, Wanda...I don't know what came over me..."

I spun around to face him. "Well, you better start thinking it over! Cause you're darn lucky Angelo was too drunk to remember anything you've said! How dare you act so bloody righteous when you don't even know Angel???"

That stopped him cold. I had never ever yelled to him like that before..He stared at me blankly, before speaking again.

"Dios mi, Wanda..when I saw you with him, something inside me just went crazy...I guess I'm jealous..."

'Jealous?' My heart stopped beating for a second, before resuming to pound twice as fast. This wasn't going the way I was hoping it would be...He had admitted to jealousy, but not that he still loved me...

"Juan..why do you love Starla?"

For the second time that night, I had succeeded in throwing Juan completely off. "She..is a wonderful chica, with a kind heart..." 'And I'm not?'

"But I mean...why did you ask her to marry you?" Juan sighed deeply and turned away. "I don't know...."

I followed him, appearing in front of him to block his path. This was way too important to let go, how could he not know?

"I said I'm not sure, okay?" He lowered his gaze, not daring to look at me. "How can you not know? You're marrying her in two days and..." I stopped short. The wounded look in his eyes was enough. I made my way home, crying a small river of tears before coming to the conclusion it couldn't go on like this. Juan was still going to marry Starla..I was still in love with him...I figured I could run away, hide out in the Great Victoria desert. But I wasn't going to run away from my problems, no matter how hopeless they seemed.

I buried my head in my pillows, hoping I would fall asleep soon. I wish I could dissect everything Juan had said that evening,...he seemed so unsure about his marriage...but right now, I just wanted to sleep...

AN: Wow this was a long chapter!!! Will Juan really marry Starla? What will Wanda do? Plz stay tuned for the next chapter!!!!! Love ya!!!!
