Gregor and Luxa stared at each other. Angelina noticed and reached for Gregor's hand as if labeling ham as her property. Luxa's eyes followed Angelina's hand. Suddenly Gregor withdrew
his hand and rushed towards Luxa. He reached her and pulled her into a tight hug. Luxa responded and wrapped her arms around him.
"Maybe when love fest is over we can do what we came here to do." remarked Ripred dryly.
"Ripred!" squealed Lizzie as she ran towards him.
"Lizzie stay away from that thing it might be dangerous!" exclaimed Larry as he regained control of his muscles.
"I'm insulted!" said Ripred,"I'm definitly dangerous.".
He threw Lizzie up in the air with his nose and caught her on his back.
"Someone please pinch my arm." said Angelina faintly.
"Okay!" said Boots as she reached up and pinched her.
When nothing happened her gaze shifted to Luxa and Greger who were holding hands.
"Hmm I guess that's why you ignored all of Angelina's coming on to you." said Larry
"Shut up!" yelled Angelina.
"Here comes the uncomfortable silence." thought Gregor
"Ahem but I thought we came here to tell the Overlander about the new prophecy room didn't we?" said Ripred, breaking the silence.
Gregor felt his mother stiffin beside him.
"My baby boy is never going back to that horrible place." she said in a dangerously low voice.
"The Underland needs him again." argued Ripred.
"THE LAST TIME HE WAS THERE HE ENDED UP IN THE HOSPITAL WITH A GAPING HOLE IN HIS CHEST!" exploded Gregor's mother.
"Have you ever thought about what he wants?" said Ripred calmly.
"Like what?" asked Gregor's mother.
"Like a place where he doesn't have a chance to kill someone accidentally, or a place where he belongs, or Luxa." said Ripred.
"Luxa?!" exclaimed Gregor's mother.
Gregor and Luxa suddenly realized just how amazing feet were
"Can he at least come to my birthday party?" asked Luxa.
"Birthday pary? What birthday party?" said Gregor's mom, rounding on Luxa.
"The one she has every year." said Gregor.
"Just let him go." said Gregor's father who had been unnoticed until then.
"Fine, as long as I can go too." relented Gregor's mom after thinking for a while.
"Can we come too?" said Lizzie and Boots simultaneously.
Gregor's mom pondered over the question before saying,
"Yes"
The whole apartment exploded with cheers.
