Megan reached the school and gaped at what she saw. The whole thing had been covered in pink and red ribbon with a huge sign over the enterance reading: 'Megan and Drake 4Ever!' on it. And at the bottem of the sign, was a heart, with a picture of Drake dropping his sweater over Megan's shoulders.

Somebody must've taken the picture yesterday, though Megan wasn't sure how Ria had managed to get it. Boy, she was going to kill that red head once she got her hands on her.

"Told you you weren't going to like it." Megan turned to see Sid grimicing up at the school.

"Where the hell did she find the time to do all of this?" Megan cried, stepping between him and the school, waving her arms like a lunatic.

"Well, she got a butt load of Daybreakers to help her." Megan jumped at the sound of Ria's voice from behind her.

She whirrled around in a weird ninja pose, before regaining her posture, and glaring at the blue eyed soon to be dead human.

"I want it all taken down before Drake sees it." Megan growled, stepping forward, menacingly. Ria didn't even blink. She obviously knew that Megan wouldn't seriously hurt her. Which, Megan knew as well, since Ria was her best friend.

Ria shook her head. "Sorry. The Daybreakers aren't scheduled to come back until Tuesday."

"Wait." Sid shook his head. "How the hell did you get Circle Daybreak to help you?"

Megan raised an eyebrow, suddenly wondering the same thing. The other worries had been pushed to the back of her mind for the moment. But, she wasn't going to forget them, not by a long shot.

Ria shrugged. "Lord Thierry readilly agreed once I told him the circumstances. And Lady Hannah thought it would be amusing to watch."

"You have got to be kidding me." Megan groaned, and slapped her forehead with her hand. This was just fucking great! Not only did Ria have the Lord and Lady of the Night World on her side, but the ribbons really weren't coming down until Tuesday!

Which meant that there was no doubt that Drake was going to see them. What would he think then? Megan groaned, there was only one way to keep him from seeing them.

She was going to have to hang out with him until Tuesday.

"I hope you're happy." she grumbled, turning on her heel, and heading towards the brown haired boy's house.

"Hey!" Megan smiled, when Drake came to the door.

Drake gave her a suspitious look, before hesitantly stepping outside. Megan didn't miss the way he kept his hand on the door handle as if expecting to have to make a quick get away.

Yeah, well, she added silently. I hope you enjoy this, because you're sure as hell never going to see this side of me again.

"What do you want?" Drake asked, suspitiously, giving her a sideways look.

Megan had to work to keep the bright smile on her face. Goddess, she didn't want to do this, but she had to. She had to keep him preoccupied until Tuesday, and everything was taken down.

She wasn't sure how she was going to work Monday, though, getting him to skip school. But, she'd figure that out when it came.

"Well, I was thinking," she added brightly. "Just because we got off to a rough start doesn't mean we shouldn't try and be friends. I mean, we are soulmates and all, shouldn't we at least try to get along?"

"You're up to something..." Drake's voice was thoughtful. But, Megan knew that he had caved in, probably just to find out what she was up to.

Oh, you have no idea. she told him, bitterly, in her head.

"Ria," Raphael groaned. "Do you really think it was the best idea to lie to Megan, like that?"

Ria smiled, and patted her soulmate on the head. "You just don't understand, hon. It'll be good for them, you'll see."

"I'm not so sure..." he mumbled to himself. "When're you taking down the stuff again?"

"Well, it's not going to be Tuesday." Ria answered.

"When?"

Ria smirked, and knew that Raphae probably wasn't going to like her answer, but she didn't care. "Nobody's coming to take them down until I make the call."

In other words, not until Megan and Drake realize they should be together...
