'Sup! Okay, here's chapter6. :P Enjoy!
Disclaimer: Same old, same old. Still don't own Night World. Unfortunately. D:
Ash felt the silver cord thin out almost to extinction. He felt a wave of warmth and happiness – but it wasn't directed at him. Suddenly, he felt as if he were being forgotten and left behind and a sense of foreboding hit him.
He thought uneasily as he sped up his pace, I need to get to Mary-Lynette. Tonight.
. . .
"Hey Adam! You're staying for dinner!" Mark called out.
"Wow, he likes you so much already that he's gone into command mode," Mary-Lynette joked. "That doesn't happen very often."
"Hey!" Mark came storming over. "I'm not in 'command mode' or whatever! And I like people just fine!" He noticed Jade trying not to laugh. He marched over and slung a possessive arm around Jade. "See? I like Jade! Actually, no. I love Jade! Ha!" Mark's face was triumphant.
Mary-Lynette laughed. "Well, of course you do, silly. She is your soulmate, after all."
Adam looked confused. "What? Soulmate? What's that?"
"Oh! No, I just meant – I mean, see, Mark and Jade are so in love that I always say that they were made for each other, "Mary-Lynette hurriedly corrected herself. "It's kind of like…an inside joke! Yes, that's it!" She forced a pained grin, but Adam didn't seem to notice the stiffness. Instead, he simply blushed at the big smile that was directed at him.
An awkward silence fell.
Mark rushed to fill it. "Gay baby!" he blurted.
All heads snapped to him. Each expression said the same thing: "Is your brain okay?"
Having sensed this, Mark tensed and stated defensively, "Oh! Come on! Please tell me you know about gay babies!"
Silence.
"No? Fine, I'll tell you! You guys are so unworldly," he huffed contemptuously and crossed his arms across his chest. "So. It's been said that whenever there's an awkward silence, a gay baby is born. Not that it's insulting gays or anything but like…yeah. Just a saying."
Apparently finished speaking, Mark waited impatiently for everyone's reactions. When none came, he snapped, "Well? Don't just stand there like idiots! Say something!"
So Jade did. "And you call us unworldly. You don't seriously believe that do you?" She rolled her eyes. "I thought you were smarter than that. Actually, no, maybe not." She cocked her head, deeply contemplating what she'd just said.
Mark opened his mouth to retort back, but then shut it when Jade shot him a fiery look.
As they waited for Jade to come back to Earth, Adam murmured, amused, "Gay baby."
"Oh Goddess, not you too!" Mary-Lynette stared at him in horror.
"Well, if soulmates are real, as was made obvious by Jade's earlier speculation,," Adam mused with twinkling eyes, "then this could be too! You never know."
Mary-Lynette rolled her eyes. "Yes, well, the whole soulmate thing was a joke anyways. Otherwise, it's simply unfair if certain people get to find true love and others don't." Actually, she'd just made that up on the spot and she thought it sounded pretty good and would stop Adam from mentioning soulmates again.
"You're right, "Adam agreed. "It wouldn't be very fair at all."
That was close, Mary-Lynette thought with relief.
And then they proceeded to dinner and this word "soulmate" was not brought up again.
