Hazel was lonely. Ash had only been gone three days and she was already missing him like hell. She always hated it whenever he went away and she had to stay behind. It was one of the very few downsides of their jobs. Ash travelled a lot and Hazel had to stay behind to run her company. It was the weekend, so Hazel was feeling even more alone. During the week, she could bury herself in work and wouldn't get home until late so she wouldn't notice that the apartment was so empty. She'd also get up super early to take Stormfly for a quick walk before leaving for the office. But weekends were just empty. Nothing to do and no one around to cheer her up. When Hazel was younger she was used to being alone. She was an only child with two parents that worked full time. Her childhood was spent more with her godfather than her own parents. Uncle Gobber was fun though. He took her places and he gave her sugar. He taught her a lot of things. He was also the only person that Hazel made an effort to stay in contact with. Apparently, this really annoyed her parents when they had long phone conversations and Hazel only sent them cards.

Hazel was laid down on her stomach on one of their very large sofas. Toothless was curled up one of the arm chairs next to it and Stormfly was rolling about on the rug behind it. Hazel was very glad that they didn't have white sofas. Hazel's mood was erased when a very loud knocking came from the front door. Hazel heaved herself off the sofa and stumbled over the door, sliding her glasses on. Usually she wore contacts, but right now she didn't want to. It was so much easier to revert to her nerd self when she was alone. Hazel pulled open the door, not caring that she was in her pyjamas that consisted of one of Ash's oversized t-shirts, a pair of sweats and comfy socks. Hazel was slightly surprised to see Cami and Heather on the other side of the door, with overnight bags, pillows, blankets, wine and snacks. "What's going on?" Hazel asked, sounding a little tired, as Cami pushed past her and into the apartment. "I figured you'd be moping as Ash isn't here." Cami explained, dumping her stuff down in the middle of the hallway, all but the wine in her hands. "And Heather and I decided to come over to cheer you up."

"Just like we did back in college." Heather said, walking in and closing the door behind her with her foot. "Damian's watching the twins until noon tomorrow. So we've got all night." Hazel stood back and watched as her two best friends took over her apartment and her animals. Hazel signed, knowing there was no way to get out of it. She went into her kitchen and grabbed three wine glasses out of the cupboard, along with another bottle of wine and a bottle opener. Hazel put the wine glasses down on the coffee table. She picked up Toothless off the chair, he meowed in protest, and walked to the utility room and whistled for Stormfly. Hazel had a feeling that they would all be very drunk by the end of the night and it was best for the animals to be in safe place. Stormfly stretched and padded into the utility room and curled up on her bed in there. Hazel gently shut the door and went back over to her friends and sat crossed legged on the floor. Cami was spread on the sofa and Heather was in the arm chair that Toothless had been in. "So what movie are we going to watch?" Cami asked, sitting up and grabbing the remote. She scrolled through the movie list before clicking onto a horror film that they weren't going to pay any attention to.

Hazel wasn't sure how but somehow they ended up on the floor of her and Ash's bathroom, giggling like school girls talking about a crush. "You were so into him." Cami said, laughing at Heather's pout. "I was not." Heather protested, finding it hard not to life. "He was jerk."

"You lost your virginity to him." Cami pointed out. "Remember?" Hazel giggled. "You thought you were pregnant for like a week as your period came late and you couldn't remember if he used a condom or not." Heather stuck out at Cami. Hazel raised the bottle of red wine to her lips and took a big gulp. "Hazel?" Cami asked, making Hazel look at her. "What condoms do you and Ash use?"

"Cami!" Hazel screeched. "I am not telling you that!"

"You realise we're in your bathroom." Heather pointed out. "She can just get up and look for them." This made Cami grin and speed over to the cabinet, looking for the condoms. "Oh My God." She said, getting both Heather and Hazel attention. "What?" Hazel asked. Cami pulled out a small black box. Heather shot up and ran over. Hazel was frozen. Ash was hiding a ring box. A hundred ideas were running through her head. Heather screeched when she saw the ring. It was beautiful. "You need to see this Hazel." Heather said. "It's amazing. It must of cost a lot." Hazel got up on her shaky legs before slowly making her way over to see the ring. It looked amazing, just as Heather said. It was a diamond encrusted band with metal twisting around a large diamond in the middle making it look a bit like a rose. Hazel gently took it out the box and slid it onto her finger. It was a perfect fit.
