Honestly, guys, I have no idea what's going on so far. :{ I'm just writing.

Ah ha. That was a mistake, but I like that face. XD I'm keeping it.

Anyways! This is probably going to be the longest of the five-ish books (might actually combine four and five...), and total out to be around... eh... around seventeen chapters...? Most likely more at this rate... But... that's assuming if I can type correctly. .-. It's a little hard to do that in the dark. :{

Damn it... Did it again I wanted this ||||||| one. ;-;

Assuming either of those { | are even going to work...

Meh. Let's just... Uh... Type random things, now... Gods... where did we leave off...?

Feh. Who cares? Let's just type.

...

A knock on the cabin door was what got me bolting off of my bed.

"Grab the bowl, grab the bowl, grab the bowl!" I told Danny quickly. I tried not to stumble over my robes for my Assassins Creed costume (which the Hecate kids were holding up the illusion for wonderfully), but failed epicly, ending up doing one of those awkward somersaults where you yelp and exclaim some profanities while rolling on your side and somehow managing to end up back on your feet in the end. I'm not even sure what happened, but I managed to pull off a fall with some minor skill.

It was an absolute miracle.

Danny gave me a weird look when I nearly stumbled into the door as I tried to recover from my epic and totally intentional fall. I gave him a wide grin, and he rolled his deep blue eyes. He joined me at the door, his light saber in hand and bowl of candy in the other, and I opened the door.

"Trick-or-treat!" The camper on the other side of the door held up a bag before blinking her amber eyes. "Ty? Is that you?"

I blinked my own eyes before grinning and sweeping the little girl into my arms and giving her a tight squeeze. She squeaked when I did, and it only caused my grin to widen. "Oh my gods! Danny! Look! It's Willow!"

My fiance blinked and peered over my shoulder, looking at the little girl curiously. "...Who?"

"Oh! Yes! That's right! You've never actually met Willow!" I turned around, still holding Willow in a tight hug, her feet dangling off the ground. "Willow, Danny. Danny, Willow."

"It's... Uh... Nice to meet you, Wi... Love, are you sure she can breath right now? You sort of look like you're... uh... perhaps... suffocating her a little holding her so close to your... chest..."

"Hmm?" I looked down at Willow, and saw the bits of her face that I could see turning red. My eyes widened in alarm and I quickly set her down. "Oh my gods, Willow! Are you okay? I didn't mean to, I swear!"

The younger daughter of Iris let out a heavy, dramatic wheeze. "I think you broke my ribs," she said, putting a hand to her chest.

I saw Danny's eyes widen at that. "Gods... Ty... I think you broke her."

I chuckled. "Oh, don't be ridiculous, Danny. You know I'm not that strong. Willow, stop being so dramatic. Stand up properly so I can see your costume in full!"

"Ugh... fine. But just for squeezing me so tightly, you're handing all of your candy over to me for, uh... official checking of poison." She stood up straight. "Yeah. I gotta make sure none of it is poisoned. For... uh... the other kids' safety."

Danny's eyes widened further, and he poked around the candies in the bowl we had. "Do they really poison these things, love...?"

Willow grinned widely, and she nodded quickly. "Yes! That's why I need you to hand them over to me, immediately! You see this badge right here? It's an offical candy poison tasting badge. I've been sent here to... uh... collect all of your candy so I can scan it for poison."

Gods. I didn't think it possible, but now Danny's eyes were bugging. " Love, I've been eating these all night! Why didn't you tell m-"

"Because they aren't, Danny!" I exclaimed, laughing. "She's just joking around so you give her more candy than we've been giving the other kids. The only poison she'd need to be testing for is the candy she receives, not the candy that we give, since it came straight from the store. Nice police costume, by the way, Willow."

The daughter of Iris grinned as Danny turned red. "O-o-oh... I-I knew that... Y-yeah. I-I was just j-joking that o-one time wh-when I looked like I-I actually believed it... A complete joke."

I bit the inside of my cheek, holding back a laugh as I nodded. "Mm hmm... Right... Well! Anyways! Willow, you get three pieces. No hiding any up your sleeves in order to take more. I know that trick, because I used to use that trick."

"Aww..."

"'Aww' is right. Now, Danny, come over here and let little Willow pick out her three pieces. Just like with the other kids."

My fiance nodded and held out the bowl of candy. "Don't take the fish ones, otherwise I might use my... uh... glow stick on you."

I giggled. "Light saber, sweetie," I corrected as Willow picked out her three candies. I saw her slip a pack of Swedish Fish into her sleeve, but I let her do so, knowing Danny would probably go Jedi on her if he had seen her take them.

"Hey! It's a stick, and it glows! It's a much easier name to remember than Life Saver."

"Light saber," I corrected again.

"Pft. Whatever." He flashed me a grin to let me know that he was joking when he said that, and I grinned back at him.

"Done!" Willow exclaimed as she grabbed a box of Dots and put it in her bag.

Danny tried to see the candies that she had grabbed and had already put in her bag without touching her bag. "Did you grab the fish ones?"

Willow looked a bit guilty as she shook her head, and Danny took her silent word for it. It was a good thing Danny wasn't very good at reading other people who weren't me facial expressions, otherwise he probably would have ended up chasing Willow across camp just to get them back from her. Gods. I shouldn't have introduced him to them last week while we were out getting some candy with my money, which thank the gods the card was finally working. He's been obsessed with them since. I haven't been able to get him to stop popping them into his mouth. It only took him to run out of the box of them I had gotten him and me threatening to kick him out of the Hypnos cabin to when he suggested opening the big bag of variety Halloween candy early to get him to stop. And now here he was again, eating them like it was nobody's business.

My gods what had I done to him? He's going to end up getting a sugar high because of me, if he didn't already have one now. He sure did have an addiction problem...

Someone called Willow's name from across camp, and the daughter of Iris let out a small whine.

"Man... I gotta go, Ty. My dad wants me back in the mortal world, now, so we can go home. It was nice seeing you again!"

I let out a whine, too. "No...! But you just got here...!"

"I was here all summer!"

"I was busy recovering being out of the Medical Center!" I defended.

"Tell me about that next year. I need to go now. It was nice meeting you, Danny! Bye, Ty! Bye, Danny! See you next year!"

"Oh... uh... Bye, Willow!" I called after her as she ran out of our cabin. I closed the door behind her and grinned at Danny, who was standing there a bit confused. "Isn't she just adorable?"

"Yes, love. She is. But... uh... How do you know her?"

"Long story involving her running into me." I let out a small yawn and flopped onto our bed. "I think it's bed time..."

Danny set the bowl that was still a quarter of the way full of candy on a table in the cabin before sitting down next to where I had flopped onto the bed. "Don't you need to get ready, first, love?"

"Ugh... screw that..." But despite my words, I pushed myself back up into a sitting position before standing up and going over to my dresser for some pajamas.

Danny chuckled and did the same, coming over to join me at his own dresser right next to mine. "You know I'm right, love."

"Of course! Why do you think I'm over here?" I pulled out a pair of sports shorts and a tank top.

Danny shrugged as he pulled out his own shorts from his dresser before closing the drawer. "I don't know. You do a lot of things without reason."

"... Good point. I'm going to go change now, and then I'm going to turn off the cabin lights so no one comes walking back up here, okay?"

"Okay, love," Danny responded as I headed off to the bathroom to change. "Sounds good."

·•·°·°·•·

A couple minutes later, both Danny and I were ready for bed, and were in bed as well, Danny's arms wrapped around me to hold me close to him as we slept and one of my ears pressed to his chest so I could hear his heartbeat. Y'know. The usual way we slept every night. The lights were off, the room complete darkness, and while Danny was already beginning to doze off, I couldn't stop fidgeting, thoughts running through my head as I twisted the two rings on my finger.

After a while, I was finally able to voice the thoughts running through my head. "Hey, Danny?"

"Fish..." he mumbled.

I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion at his word, making it clear to me that he was already asleep, but I couldn't let the thoughts I was having escape me. It was just too important to me right then that I had to talk to him about it.

Poking his cheeks, I whispered his name again, and he stirred.

"Hmm?" My fiance let out a small yawn as he slowly woke up. "What... what is it, love? Is it... is it morning already?"

"No," I told him. "I... uh... Just wanted to..."

Suddenly I wasn't so sure about what I had wanted to ask him. Was it a little early to ask it? Gods. Relationships were so confusing and complicated.

"Just wanted to what, love?"

I bit my lip and braced myself for the worse to come. "What do you think about kids?" I blurted.

I heard Danny's heart rate suddenly accelerate. "I... uh... I think they're great, and... uh... f-full of energy, and... uh...:

Danny, you know that's not what I mean, is what I wanted to say, but the words didn't come out. I had known the instant his heart started pounding that the question was a little early for him, and I understood completely. But it had been a good question to know the boundaries of conversation, so I had asked it, and I was rewarded with the boundaries.

Smiling softly, I nodded. "Yeah. They're pretty great, aren't they? Especially little Willow. Gods, I love that little girl."

Danny's heart beat started to slow, letting me know that my response had succeeded in calming him down some, and he chuckled to release the earlier adrenaline my question had given him. "Yeah... yeah, she was pretty great, the whole two minutes I got to see her. Completely fooled me with that whole candy thing."

I chuckled softly. "Yeah, that she did..." I let out a small yawn. "Well... you can go back to sleep, now..."

"Mm... Alright, love..." Danny let out his own yawn, a bit loud of one, and pulled me closer to him. "Goodnight, Ty," he mumbled.

I smiled softly and closed my eyes. "Good night, Danny," I responded, but he was already slipping into the dream world.

Chuckling softly, I, too, slipped into the dream world, my mind finally calm without the question running inside it.

...

Danny pops first question, Ty pops second question. XD
