Zach's call had Terra wondering even more about her father. She never really thought about him, kind of like Scarlet O'Hara refused to think about the civil war.

Their mother made them like that. They might have asked about him when they were little but their mother evaded the question all too well. She never uttered the words 'daddy' or 'dada' in her life. She kind of wanted one; She remembered the first time she had met Zach's father. He grabbed his son's neck in a headlock and ruffled his son's bright blonde hair until it was sticking out all sorts of ways, making Zach look positively goofy. She never had any kind of play fun as a child. Her mother was way too sophisticated for rough housing, Rayne took after their mother, Bryn was dismissive of such behavior, and Gail was too competitive. She'd never known the pure joy of having someone to share moments with until last Saturday, starting with peanut butter and ending with lips. She grumbled--was she ever going to get that feeling again?

"Terra, what do you want from the Paper Lantern?" Byrn popped her head in and asked, jumping Terra from her thoughts. Terra grumbled again, whether it was from hunger or the excess of Chinese food she wasn't sure.

"Fried rice," she ordered as always.

"Hey you can come with me and help me carry the food," Byrn suggested. Terra shrugged but agreed to go. They walked down town a couple of blocks and then, before them was the charming little hut with East Asian décor. After Byrn put in their to-go order, they sat at a nearby table to wait.

"Do you remember dad?" Terra blurted out of her thoughts.

Byrn's scarlet eyes widened to saucer plates, not expecting such a question. "Well…I was four years old, I don't remember much," she admitted.

"Do you remember his name?"

"No, mom never told us," she sniffed with a hint of annoyance.

Terra thought about it, "Do you think she did it on purpose?"

"Why would she do it on purpose?"

"I don't know, but don't you think it's strange we don't know our own father's name?"

"Well he ran off shortly after you were born. Why would we care?"

"What if…what if he was someone important?"

Bryn raised a pierced eyebrow and looked doubtful, "Riiiiight, we're secret daughters of Superman." Byrn's comment made Terra feel foolish. "Why are you even asking?"

"Uhm…well…Zach asked…"

"Your still stuck on that glow worm?" Byrn asked disgusted.

"He's sweet!" Terra bit out in defense, "besides he…told me he missed me."

Byrn looked a little surprised about it. She frowned though, "High school boys only want in your pants, and do well to remember that." Terra bit her lip and laid her head on her hand.

"Order 26?" They looked up and Warren Peace was holding their orders. He was wearing a black tank top under his apron, and his hair was tied back in a small ponytail. Basically, even being in greasy bus boy attire, he was looking delicious.

Byrn flashed him a white flirtatious smile. Fire loves fire. He was taken aback by it. Usually she had a frown tacked on.

"Thanks…Warren is it? I know we talked last time," she asked with a sizzling effect in her voice.

"Yeah, you're Byrn?" His confusion was hidden under dark knotted brows.

"Correct," she stood and took the bag. Terra took another bag with the other two orders in it and started to head out. "Well, see you around," she said and swaggered behind Terra's lead. When they arrived back at the apartment, they unloaded their Asian cuisine and ate at the breakfast bar Byrn explained her newest encounter with the pyrokinetic bad boy as she slurped up chow mein. Gail's spotted eyes glared jealously as her sister spoke. She knew the thing to say to make Byrn annoyed.

"Oh, Warren Peace only has the hots for one girl at school," Gail snapped as soon as Byrn was done.

"Who?" Byrn snapped with question. Terra noticed they were all snappity.

"Crystal, the freeze girl," Gail simpered.

Byrn made a whoop-de-doo gesture with her finger and a ring of fire appeared above them and burned out. Unlike Warren, who could ignite himself, Byrn's fire would appear whenever she pointed her fingers, in a close proximity. She never caught herself aflame and projected.

"I still can't believe we unleashed our powers," Terra said, off in her own time and space.

"Blame Rayne for getting all wet when Stretch-boy grabbed her," Gail sneered with a suggestive undertone.

Rayne stopped with a mouth full of egg drop soup and narrowed her indigo eyes in disdain. Swallowed. "How would you like it if some egotistical jerk-off grabbed you…oh wait you'd like it. All you've been after is an easy grope since we started there," Rayne bit back. Gail gasped, no one expected for Rayne to be hostile.

Gail looked away with a scowl and saw Terra picking at her fried rice with her fork. She wanted everyone to feel crappy. "Terra what's wrong?"

Terra popped her attention to Gail quickly, wondering why she would ask with the already established mood in the atmosphere? "Nothing."

"Awww, Terra's sad because the earthquake she made, caused her lover boy's arm to break," Gail put on her false sympathy.

Terra threw down her fork. It hit the tile nicely with a 'cling!' Gail shut her mouth.

"The only thing right now that I am sad about is having an unseverable bond with ALL OF YOU!" She grabbed her complimentary fortune cookie and ran to her room. She slammed the door as hard as she could. Cursing Gail for being a pain in the ass, and the fact she'd destroyed the cafeteria, and pretty much everything that had happened in her life. Except Zach. She was happy to have met him in between the chaos. She cracked open her fortune cookie. To her ultimate surprise there was no piece of paper. No fortune. Was it possible that the manufacturers forgot to inject it into the cookie? Or…was all her fortune gone?
