"So, of all the animals on earth, why wolves?" Neil asked.

"I don't know, there's just something mysterious about them," Selene replied, running her index finger around the rim of her glass. The two friends were enjoying a meal before heading for the theatre. "So, what about you? What animal do you like?"

Neil thought about it for a moment.

"I've never given it much thought," he confessed. "All I've studied is Greek creatures."

"Really?" Selene asked, extremely interested. "I didn't know you were into Greek mythology."

A nervous smile crept over Neil's face. He chuckled nervously. "You'd be surprised," he muttered, running his fingers through his hair. He picked up his glass and took a sip of water.

"So, which is your favorite myth?" Selene asked. "Perseus? Hercules? Achilles? Narcissus?"

Neil snorted in the water which ended up spilling down the front of his shirt.

"Did I say something wrong?" Selene asked.

"How did you know I liked the Narcissus myth?" Neil replied, wiping the water off his shirt.

"Lucky guess?" Selene suggested, recovering from her surprise.

"When I was a kid a lot of people said I could have been the descendant of Narcissus," Neil said, trying to make it sound like a joke.

Selene laughed. "I can see why. Both are very handsome," she said.

Neil cleared his throat. He tugged on his shirt collar. Selene smiled. Her silvery eyes glowed with the moonlight. Or...were her eyes giving off that glow on their own? Neil and Selene locked eyes. The closer he looked, the more he saw the shape of a half moon in Selene's eyes.

"Has anyone ever told you that you have the most beautiful eyes anyone could look into?" Neil asked.

"You're the first," Selene replied. She looked down at her watch. "Uh...we'd better go if we don't want to be late."

Neil snapped out of his trance. "Uh...yeah. I'll go pay and then we can go," he explained. He got up and went to the front desk.

It wasn't long before the two friends were walking down the street, heading for the theatre. The clouds rolled back to reveal a bright half moon.

"Can you believe people actually consider this to be accurate?"

"Like Atlanta said, movies never get it right."

Jay and Archie were watching a remake of the battle of Troy. In some scenes Jay could tell Archie was disgusted by how Achilles was portrayed sometimes. He would mutter how the actor made Achilles look like an arrogant jerk who thought himself invincible because he was almost immortal, then as if to make a point, Archie would tap his ankle brace on the coffee table, which made a resounding thud against the wood.

Jay had lost interest in the movie hours ago. He glanced at the clock in the kitchen. Neil and Selene would be getting out of the theatre soon.

"Hopefully he had a better night than the rest of us," Jay thought.

Just then, the back door opened and the girls walked in, shopping bags in hand.

"Have a good night?" Jay asked, trying to keep the boredom and fatigue out of his voice.

"We did, thanks," Theresa replied happily.

Archie flicked the movie off and began channel surfing. By the look on Archie's face, Atlanta came to the conclusion that he and Jay had been watching a really bad imitation of Troy.

"Neil still out?" Atlanta asked.

"Yeah," Jay replied.

"I still find it weird," Archie spoke up.

"So, you do talk," Jay joked.

Theresa and Atlanta giggled. Archie rolled his eyes, but smirked nonetheless. He tossed Jay the remote and got to his feet.

"Where are you going?" Jay asked.

"Roof," Archie replied simply. And with that, he disappeared upstairs.

Atlanta danced around Theresa and also headed upstairs. The Fighter shook her head with a smile. She went and sat down beside her own boyfriend. Jay put his arm around Theresa's shoulders as she cuddled into his chest.

Up on the roof, Archie and Atlanta were lying on one of the lawn chairs and star gazing.

"I see Orion," Archie announced, pointing to a constellation.

Atlanta followed his finger. Sure enough, Orion was glowing bright. Archie felt pressure on his chest. Atlanta snuggled further into her boyfriend's chest. Archie drapped an arm around her shoulders. A soft tune floated up to the two friends. Archie and Atlanta looked at each other. They got up and headed over to the side of the roof. Neil was walking down the street, humming a tune, not caring who heard him.

"Someone looks like he's had a good night," Atlanta commented.

"Come on. I want to see how it went," Archie said. He headed inside. Atlanta followed.

When the Warrior and Huntress got downstairs, Neil was just dancing into the kitchen. Herry and Odie came upstairs to see what was going on.

"Someone sounds happy," Herry commented.

"You would be to if you met the girl of your dreams," Neil replied.

"There's a tone I never thought I'd hear coming from Neil," Odie noted.

And the next thing Odie knew, Neil had grabbed him and began waltzing around the kitchen. The others burst out laughing. Odie pulled himself out of Neil's grasp.

"It's offical. I'm in love," Neil said dreamily.

"No kidding," Archie replied sarcastically.

Jay shook his head. Yes, there was no denying that Neil was in fact in love. But, there was always the question: does she feel the same way?
