Someone asked me what had happened with Luna's ex and parents, or I'll explain the ex part here.
The parents part is part of the plot line and can only be explained later on, so this chapter will a bit of fun for me.
Oh and this chapter doesn't really have anything to do with the story, just explaining a bit.
Truth be told, I like this chapter. So enjoy. :)
"Now, while putting on mascara, you have to open your eyes, and then you-"Luna cursed her luck over and over again while sitting for her friend's makeup lesson.
Elle put down the mascara case and stared at Luna with her hands on her hips, "While you don't like this, at least pay attention."
Luna nodded, took it, then cringed when she accidentally smeared makeup all over her cheek.
This process continued for at least half an hour with no success, before repeating itself with whatever else Elle gave her to try on.
The only thing Luna had been able to use, was the lipstick, which Elle claimed even her baby brother could use.
Meanwhile, Loki sat silently in cat form at Luna's side, laughing at each of Luna's attempts.
Elle gritted her teeth in frustration. She wanted so desperately to help her friend, but was making a mess.
Even her friend's pet was laughing at its owner, it seemed.
When Luna had the eyeliner problem, it had snorted a little. When Luna fried her ear using the curlers, her cat snickered at her. When Luna dropped the blush and filled the room with fairytale-ish pink powder, her cat practically laughed itself off the dressing table.
Setting the compact down, Luna stood and advanced towards her cat. Sensing danger approaching, it scrambled out of the room.
Chasing after it, the cat skidded to the next room and bounced into the dog. Hiding behind its friend, Luna's cat meowed pitifully.
It edged away slowly, hoping for an escape while putting its cutest face. "Oh no you don't! Come here." Luna crossed her arms.
Her dog, smiled an evil grin before picking the cat up with its mouth, bringing it over as it scratched and yelped.
Scooping it into her hands, she said, "Don't worry, you'll be totally fine ." Her cat shot an hateful glare towards the dog for its act of betrayal.
Elle was sitting in Luna's bedroom, just flipping through a magazine when Luna walked in with her cat.
She watched Luna pick up some ribbons one headedly and stumbled over to another room.
Rolling her eyes, she went back to her magazine but was forced to put it down when she heard screams and complains from the room.
Walking closer, she heard Luna shouting, "Ow! The devil bit me."
Opening the door, Luna was standing in front of her, her hair ruffled and scratches marks covering her hands, along with a bite on her thumb.
Her cat, still trying to bite her, had a head full of pink and blue ribbons. Some were tied in little bows while some were just dangling untied.
Elle opened her mouth to say something, but no words came out. Instead, her mouth opened and closed like a fish's.
When they had arrived at the party, it was already evening and Luna still only had lipstick and a bit of kohl that Luna had taken a liking to.
Instead, she was still carrying her cat, and her dog followed at her heels.
"Elle," Luna whispered, "Do I have to come? I really don't want to. At all."
Elle waved to a group of her friends, who each smiled and waved in response, "You have to. I'm officially forcing you."
"Ok. I hate you now. I'm just going to look around now. I'll leave soon. Bye." Luna wandered off.
After turning a corner, Luna put down the cat and whispered, "Guys, look around or whatever, just don't be around after midnight. You'll turn human and I don't want to stick around for that."
They seemed to nod before scampering off.
Joining Elle, Luna stood at one corner. Elle waltzed over to her, "Hey, come dance with us. There's this really awesome boy I could introduce to you, but first, a dance."
Smiling, she shook her head, "Elle, are you drunk? For your sake, I'll play along."
Walking to the centre, Elle motioned to the DJ. Immediately, Luna's favourite song came on through the microphones.
Walking up, she began bobbing her head to the beat, before loosening up and practically shaking.
Swinging her hips, she bounced and swayed, letting the music take a hold of her limbs.
Accepting the hand of a brown haired boy, they swung round the dance floor. One dance followed another, and Luna was ready to dance the night away, consequences be damned.
Luna hadn't had so much fun for quite a long time. Feeling Elle eyes on her, she looked to her best friend, who gave her an approving look and thumbs up.
Suddenly, her small bubble fell apart, "Luna?"
That familiar voice turned Luna's insides to ice and she froze on the spot.
Turning, her worse nightmares were confirmed, "Gabriel. Haven't seen you for quite some time. I'd hoped to keep it that way."
Smiling that infernal smile of his, he circled her like a predator might stalk its prey, "Ah Luna. Nice to see you too. Didn't think I'd see you after so long."
"Where's Amy? She's your girlfriend, not me."
Gabriel shrugged, "Care to find out?"
Pursing her lip, Luna gave him an icy glare, "Enough nonsense. What do you want?"
Spreading her hands out, he smiled, "Come on. Don't tell me you haven't forgiven me."
"You know exactly what you did."
He pouted, "You know I didn't mean it. Why so uptight?"
Turning on her heel, Luna went to leave, but Gabriel grabbed her hand. Glimpsing at him, she said softly, "Let's bring this outside."
Grinning, Gabriel gestured to the door, "After you."
Once they were standing in the lawn, Luna said, "Well? What brings you here? That girlfriend of your abandoned you? Again?"
"Babe, why can't you just forgive me? I already said sorry."
Luna frowned again, "And what about Amy."
Gabriel said, "She won't know. She's a nothing. I don't even care for her. Just someone for me to run to. She's so ugly, she'll understand why I didn't want her, anyway. So why not return to me? I won't do it again."
"You know damn well why." Luna hissed, "You never change. That's why. And you've no respect for females."
Holding her shoulders roughly, he snarled, "You come back to me, I'm warning you."
"And if I don't?" Luna challenged, "Sorry, but I've moved on. I've a new boyfriend already, one much better than you could ever hope to be."
"You. You..." Gabriel raised one hand to strike her, but before he could land a blow, another hand had stopped him.
"What the- Lok- Um... Henry, what are doing? "Luna gripped Loki's shoulder, "Let's go. Now."
Gabriel looked from Luna to Loki, " Who's he? Do I know you? You seem familiar."
"He's Henry, my..." Luna started, but Loki interrupted with a wolfishly smile, "I'm her boyfriend. So back off."
"Oh yeah?" Gabriel stepped forward, "So you're the hero coming to save her?"
Beside them, Luna piped up, "Hey hey hey. I'm not a damsel in distress for some hero to save, ok? So Henry, let's go. One can only take so much of this jerk" She gestured to Gabriel.
Tugging on his sleeve, she added, "Where's Thor? Its time to go home."
Heading the direction of the car, Loki said, "In the car. Let's go." Before adding, "Henry?"
Giggling, she admitted, "Henry's the name of my dead goldfish. I'm sorry. First name I could think of at the time."
From behind, Gabriel shouted, "Is that what you're going to do? Just leave me for the next available boy? No wonder your father didn't love you, you're a wretched daughter."
Loki's hand trailed to his dagger, but Luna held out a hand to stop him, "I said, I'm not a hopeless female to be protected."
Walking over to Gabriel, Luna stood to her tallest height. Gabriel sneered at her, "Ooh, what you going to do? Scream?"
Luna smiled, "Nope. Just hang on a second. I want my friend to see this."
Gabriel looked surprised," What friend?"
Elle stepped out from behind him, and bowed, "Me. She spotted me a while back. Also, I think Amy would like to know what you said." She pulled out a camera phone from her behind her back.
Gabriel paled. Luna nodded, "And that's not all."
Luna raised her hand, and brought it swiftly down on Gabriel's face without another word.
"That's what all females should do to people like you. And this," She raised her leg, and kneed him where it would hurt most before doing the move she practiced on Loki last night.
"Is for myself, and Amy. You getting all that?" Elle nodded.
"See ya." Luna sauntered back to the car and nodded to Elle, who picked up her car keys, "Expect from Amy latest by tomorrow morning."
As Elle drove, she commented, "You da girl. Oh, and can you tell me who the heck are those two in the back?"
Luna looked to Loki and Thor, "Yeah, we'll tell you that in the morning. You're staying over."
Elle nodded, "I am. Nice moves, by the way."
Loki shuddered at the thought, "I was wrong. You were trained for this."
Thor patted Loki, "Better not anger her then. You picked one heck of a girl, brother."
I know this chapter is a bit longer than usual, but at least it has been explained. Hehe. Hope it wasn't too dramatic or anything like that.
