Disclaimer: Does not own WITCH
AN: I slowed a little on updating this, even though I was meant to be getting this down quickly so I could move on to the next main fic. I have decided that this and the next LIAHC fic Hold my Heart will be the last of this series of fics.
They started before I had read key points of the comic. When they are done, I will be starting a new series of WITCH fics, what exactly about I don't know yet.
Love is a Hearts Child: Interlude – Girls and Boys
Chapter 5 – Water Fool
It was April the 1st, know to many as April fools day and Irma was on a roll. So far she had pulled pranks on all of her family. One so bad that she had escaped the house in order to avoid getting in trouble for them. Walking down her road she tried to think of something to do for the rest of the day. (Hey girls, anyone want to come out?) Irma asked through the groups telepathic link, as she walked.
It took about ten second before Hay Lin voice appeared in her mind. (Sorry Irma I have to work today.) The word sounding and feeling annoyed at the fact. (It's okay Hay Hay.) Irma thought back. (Hey not to sound rude but mental messaging makes it hard to work and Cedric is giving me dirty looks now.) Taranee's voice joined the mental conversation. (Sorry Tara, I'll send only to the other from now on.) Irma replied before cutting Taranee out of the link temporarily.
(I should go to, mum need me.) Hay Lin voice said before Irma felt Hay Lin also cut herself off so that she wouldn't have Irma voice talking to her while she drove her moped. "Well that's great, I wonder why Will and Corny ain't replied." Irma muttered to herself as she continued walk. 'Surely they can't both be asleep still.' She thought to herself. "Well now what am I going to do?" She asked herself.

Around a hour later, the door to Cedric's bookshop opened the bell on the door ringing. Steven stepped inside and walked through the store and up to the counter. "Hey Taranee, is Cedric here?" He asked plainly looking around. Nodding at Taranee boyfriend as he worked. "Yeah, he 'Downstairs' I think." Taranee replied putting the emphasis on the word downstairs so he would know that she meant the under basement.
"Thanks." Steven said before walking off downstairs. Once downstairs in normal basement, Steven checked the room to see if anyone was around before teleporting past one of the bookcase in the room on to another set of stairs. Going doing Steven saw Cedric sitting in one of the large chair in the room, the magic portal that was used by the guardian on the wall, where it had been moved to.
"Cedric, any reason your down here when your meant to be working?" Steven asked taking his coat off and tossing it onto another chair. "Any reason your not at work yourself?" Cedric asked back. "Good point. Have you got that book you were talking about yet?" Steven asked. "Yes it's over there, just don't damage it. Kandrakar won't like it if you do." Cedric said pointing a book sitting on the table in the center of the under basement. Steven quickly took the book and sat down on top of his coat., and suddenly jerked back to his feet as his coat below him started ringing..

Irma listened as Steven phone on the other end of the line. "Who is it?" Steven's voice asked as the ringing stopped. "It's Irma, are you working too?" She asked straight after him. "No actually, why?" Steven replied. "Everyones busy, I'm bored and I've got nothing to do." Irma said. "Well maybe if you had a job you wouldn't be bored all the time." Steven said back sounding annoyed. "Oh hush, come and meet me." She said, the hope in her voice. "How about you find somewhere secluded and teleport to the bookshop under basement." Steven said in return.
"Err why?" Irma said scratching the side of her head. "Because that where I am, I was picking up a book. I was about to sit down and read it." Steven said over the phone and Irma then heard someone talking in the background. "Who was that?" She asked. "Just Cedric complaining and heading back up to the normal basement." Steven explained. "So are you coming or what?" The rolling of his eyes seeming to transmit through his voice. "Yeah I'm coming just got to find somewhere out of sight." She said quietly before hanging up.

A minute or so later Irma appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the under basement. "Heya." Steven said simply, standing from a sitting in one of the chairs. "Hey, where the book you mention?" Irma asked noticing that there was none in sight. "Already at my flat, I flashed back to drop it off and came back." He explained crossing over to Irma pulling his coat from the chair as he did and hugged her. "Now do you have a actual plan or did you just want to see me?" He asked with a grin once the hug ended.
"A little arrogant there aren't you." Irma stated. "Hey you called me." Steven said shrugging. "Well..?" He said breaking the silence before it could even form. "I'll admit I want see you, but your still too arrogant." She counter pushing a finger close to his face. "Coming from the women who charges into danger without think she might lose." He said grabbing her arm and moving it away. "Hey I can't lose." She said with a grin. "Your also a hypocrite." He said voice playful compared to the words.
"Take that back." She demanded finger in his face again. "Err make me." He said smirking. Irma tackled at him, a slide through nothing but air before landing on the floor. "What the..?" Irma said turning to look round the room. Steven now stood on the other side of the room. "Your as slippery as Corny after the time she got cover in butter trying to cook cookies." Irma said standing, and laughing at the memory of a butter covered Corny. "Still bored?" He asked smirking. "Not really." She replied walking over. "Well then. My job is done, bye." He said before disappearing again.
Arm wrapped around Irma from behind causing her to jump. "Not funny." She said loudly trying to break free of his arms. "What about this." Steven said quietly into her ear, and trailed down and started kissing her neck. "Not funny but nice." She said quietly, she wouldn't be bored for awhile
