Chapter 16:

The next morning, Angelo woke up to see not only, Halinor on his left, but also Cassidy, who was dressed in a white, silk, thin strapped night gown that went down to her knees, on his right in bed with him! Cassidy had her head resting on his chest, while Halinor had her head resting on his stomach. Needless to say that part of him was enjoying this.

'A guy can get use to this.', he thought to himself as he tried to get up but couldn't because of the two girls that were using him as a pillow. 'Then again, there may be a problem or two.'

"Um... girls?", Angelo said as he lightly tapped them on their shoulders. "I need you to wake up, so I can get up."

But Halinor and Cassidy didn't get up. They simply moved around a bit while keeping the same position on Angelo.

"Oh boy.", Angelo said as he couldn't get up. "I got it!"

'Yannie! Rissa!', Angelo called out to two of his fellow Dark Guardians telepathiclly.

'What is?', Nerissa asked.

'Yeah! I was sleeping!', Yan Lin said with a yawn.

'I... need some help with something.', Angelo said.

'What is it?', Nerissa asked.

'You have to see for yourselves.', Angelo said.

Yan Lin and Nerissa then teletransported into Angelo's room. Nerissa was dressed a silk, thin strapped, dark green nightgown that went down to her ankles and Yan Lin was dressed in a night gown like Cassidy, only it was purple. They both the saw him in the position he was in. At first they said nothing. But soon they began to giggle which turned into laughter.

"Not funny, you two!", Angelo said as Cassidy and Halinor slept on him. "School's about to start in an hour and a half! We have to get ready to do the next part of our plan!"

"Well, if you ask me, Cassidy and Halinor look pretty happy where they are to me.", Nerissa said as she looked at her two sleeping friends who had smiles on their faces.

"Well, we have a job to do!", Angelo said. "So, help me get them up!"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah.", Nerissa said as she walked up to Angelo's bed.

"Hold up!", Yan Lin said before she teletranported away.

"Where did she go?", Angelo questioned.

Yan Lin then came in through the door of Angelo's room with a digital camera in her hand.

"You wouldn't dare!", Angelo said as he glared at Yan Lin who was smirking.

"Oh, but I would.", Yan Lin said with sly grin before taking a picture. "This is going in the scrap book!"

"Can I wake them up now?", Nerissa asked as she charged her index fingers with eletricity and walked up to the bed.

"Please do.", Angelo said.

Nerissa then touched Cassidy and Halinor's rears, with her charged fingers, giving them a light jolt.

"Aaaaah!", the two yelled as they suddenly woke up with a jump.

Cassidy and Halinor looked around to see Yan Lin and Nerissa standing at the foot of the bed. They then saw Nerissa smiling at them with a sly smile.

"That wasn't funny, Rissa!", Cassidy said as she rubbed the spot where she was zapped.

"I only gave you two a tiny jolt.", Nerissa said a she sat on the foot of the bed.

"Why'd you zap us anyway?", Halinor asked as she finished rubbing the spot she got zapped.

Nerissa simply pointed towards Angelo who was sitting up, happy to move again.

"Good morning, ladies!", Angelo said as he stretched out his arms with a yawn.

"Why'd you have Rissa zap us?", Casidy questioned as she and Halinor glared at Angelo.

"Because, I wanted to get up.", Angelo said. "And you two wouldn't wake up, when I tried to wake you up."

"Oh.", Halinor said. "Well, I was pretty comfortable."

"Me too.", Cassidy said. "I came in here after midnight. I wanted to sleep with Angelo and saw you in here with him. So I figured, what the heck!"

"Well right now it's time to get ready for school and cause a bit more trouble.", Angelo said as he got out of bed. "So, move it!"

"Yes, sir!", the four girls said with a salute while grinning before leaving Angelo's room with some giggles and laughs.

"Oh brother.", Angelo with a grin before picking what he was going to wear for the day.

Fourty mintes later, everyone was cleaned up and ready to go.

"Man am I glad we have four bathrooms in this place.", Angelo said as he grabbed his back pack.

"Yeah!", Cassidy said as they all headed out of the house. "If we didn't, we'd still be waiting to take a shower."

Once out of the house, they walked up to the Explorer, they rode in was in the driveway of the beach house.

"I'm glad we remembered to get our ride last night.", Angelo as they all got into the Explorer. "So, everyone ready?"

"Yep!", Cassidy said as she buckled her seatbelt.

"Then let's go!", Nerissa said with a smile.

Angelo then started the Explorer and drove out of the driveway and away from Cormorran Beach. Once far enough away, Angelo drove into a nearby woods, where no one could see them and they all used their powers to teletransport themselves along with the Explorer to Heatherfield Forest, that was just outside of Heatherfield. Once there, Angelo drove into town and towards Sheffield.

"So, what's up next?", Cassidy asked as they drove down the road.

"Next we seperate them and drive a major wedge between them.", Nerissa said.

"This is going to be fun!", Cassidy said as they drove through the city.

Soon, they were at school and heading inside. But not before passing by the Guardians and their boyfriends along with Elyon who were shooting the Dark Guardians angry glares. All but Hay Lin, who was still looking hurt.

"Looks like they know about what we did, Yannie.", Angelo said.

"Looks like.", Yan Lin said with a smirk. "Watch this!"

Yan Lin then leaned up and kissed Angelo on his cheek making Hay Lin gasp in shock before turning towards Eric and crying on his shoulder. Seeing that got the Dark Guardians laughing as they walked towards the school doors.

"That's it!", Irma snapped as she walked towards the Dark Guardians fuming.

"Irma don't!", Will said as she and the others went after her.

"Looks like Lair's temper has gotten the best of her.", Kadma said as she saw the Water Guardian coming towards them. "Again."

"Good.", Joe said. "Let her get herself in trouble."

"Get ready, Yannie.", Angelo said. "I sense she's coming for you."

"Let her.", Yan Lin said. "You guys are about to see some good actting."

"Break a leg.", Nerissa said with a smirk.

"Here we go.", Yan Lin said as Irma closed in on them.

Once she was close enough to them, Irma pushed her way through the Dark Guardians and grabbed Yan Lin by her leather jacket that she was wearing with a blue T-shirt and black jeans and short heeled boots.

"I don't care who you are!", Irma snapped as she was looking Yan Lin in her eyes with a glare. "No one hurts my friends!"

Irma then pushed Yan Lin down to the ground.

"Ow!", Yan Lin cried pretending to be hurt.

"IRMA LAIR!"

"What?", Irma snapped as she turned around to see who called her name. "Uh-oh!"

Irma looked to see Principal Knickerbocker walking towards her. And she wasn't looking to happy.

"I don't know what your problem is, young lady, but I will not tolerate fighting in this school!", Knickerbocker said as she was face to face with Irma. "Three days Detention!"

"What?", Irma questioned. "Three days? Are you nuts?"

"Make that four days!", Knickerbocker said.

"But...", Irma was about to say before Will came up and put her hand over her friend's mouth.

"We'll be going now.", Will said as she gave Knickerbocker an innocent smile before pulling Irma way from Knickerbocker.

Knickerbocker watched as the girls and guys headed into the school. Knickerbocker then turned towards the Dark Guardians to see Cassidy and Angelo helping Yan Lin to her feet.

"Are you okay, dear?", Knickerbocker asked Yan Lin with concern.

"Y-Y-Yes.", Yan Lin said, pretending to feel hurt as she made her eyes water. "I-I-I don't know w-what I did w-wrong. I-I j-j-jusu started here!"

Yan Lin then went and hugged Halinor as she began to cry. Halinor, of course hugged Yan Lin back, playing along.

"Oh, you poor dear.", Knickerbocker said as she patted Yan Lin on her back. "Do not worry. Not all the students here are like that. But I am surprised by Irma's actions. I'll have to call her parents and inform them about this. Now you go and try and get through your day, my dear. I do hope you're in better spirits the next time I see you."

Yan Lin then went and hugged Knickerbocker surprising her.

"Thank you for caring.", Yan Lin said.

"You're welcome, dear.", Knickerbocker said returning the hug.

Knickerbocker then headed back into the school and to her office to write Irma up and call her parents.

"You're good.", Angelo said with a smirk.

"I know.", Yan Lin said with a small smirk as they headed into the school.

"What were you thinking?", Cornelia asked Irma as they were walking through the school halls. "Now we'll be down one Guardian for the next four days after school!"

"And you know that they'll be coming after us the first chance they get.", Nigel said.

"Well I, unlike her boyfriend, wasn't going to sit there and let them hurt Hay Lin the way they did!", Irma said getting a gasp out of the others.

Irma then felt a hand in her shoulder. She was then whipped around to be face to face with a glaring Eric.

"Don't you ever, EVER question how much I care about Hay Lin!", Eric snapped at the Water Guardian. "You hear me, Lair!"

The others were not only shocked by what Irma said, but by how Eric reacted. Hay Lin looked at them as they glared at each other, knowing she had to stop this.

"Stop it! Both of you!", Hay Lin said getting their attention as they looked at Hay Lin who was looking upset.

"Hay Lin, I...", Irma began to say as she walked towards her friend.

Irma was cut off as Hay Lin walked past her and towards Eric.

"I want to go to our Homeroom, Eric.", Hay Lin said to her boyfriend calmly as she held his hand.

"Y-Yeah. Sure, Hay Lin.", Eric said as they walked away from the group.

"Whoa!", Matt said calmly amazed at what just happened.

Taranee, worrying about Hay Lin, decided to contact her.

'You okay, Hay Lin?', Taranee asked her friend telepathiclly.

'Please, Taranee.', Hay Lin said to her friend telepathiclly. 'Give me some space. That's all I want right now. Some space and alone time with Eric.'

'Sure, Hay Lin.', Taranee said respecting her friend's want for some prvacy.

'Thank you.', Hay Lin said as she looked bacl at the Fire Guardian and gave her a small smile which she returned.

"You okay, Hay Lin?", Eric asked Hay Lin as they were walking down the hall.

"Yeah. I'm okay.", Hay Lin said as she held onto Eric's hand.

"I'm sorry about what happened back there.", Eric said as they turned the corner. "It's just that, I wasn't going to stand there and let Irma question how much I care about you."

"You have nothing to apologize for, Eric.", Hay Lin said. "Irma should apologize to you for what she said. She was wrong in what she said and for when she went after my Grandma. Yeah! I was upset when I saw her and Angelo... making out. And when she kissed Angelo on the cheek, I was a bit hurt. But like Cornelia said. Because of Irma's actions, we'll be short one Guardian after school of the next four days."

"Not to mention what her parents will do to her.", Eric said.

"That too.", Hay Lin said as they walked into their Homeroom. "No matter how you put it, Irma was wrong. And she should apologize to you."

"If you say so.", Eric said as they sat down next to each other. "But I don't see it happening anytime soon."

"You may be right.", Hay Lin said with a grin along with Eric.

As for Irma. She just stood there, in the hall. surprised at what just happened. Hay Lin just walked past her like she wasn't even there! She said nothing to her as she left with Eric. For one of the few times in her life, Irma Lair was speachless.

And that was a rare thing!

"You okay, there, Irma?", Will asked her friend.

"Y-Y-Yeah.", Irma said snapping back to reality.

"Good.", Cornelia said with a smile that turned into a frown. "Cause you have some apologozing to do!"

"Me apologize?", Irma questioned in shock. "Why should I apologize?"

"Let's see.", Elyon said. "You questioned how much Eric cares for Hay Lin."

"And by doing that, you may of hurt Hay Lin's feelings.", Taranee said.

"Which is why you should apologize to Eric.", Cornelia said.

"Ha!", Irma said as she walked off to her Homeroom with Peter. "I don't see that happening!"

"I give her until the end of school.", Matt said.

"Please! I give her until Lunch.", Nigel said getting a laugh out of the others.

"So, you really not going to apologize to Eric?", Peter asked.

"Nope.", Irma said as they walked down the hall.

"Really?", Peter asked.

"Yeah, really.", Irma said. "I said what I had to say and I meant it."

"If that's how you feel.", Peter said as he held his girlfriend's hand making Irma smile.

'I give her until Lunch.', Peter thought as they walked down the hall.

Seeing what happened at a distance was Angelo, Cassidy, and Yan Lin who were heading for their Homeroom.

"Well, it seems that Lair's temper is helping us out again.", Cassidy said with a smirk.

"Today would be a good time to strike.", Angelo said.

"Then let's make this school day a hafl-a-day.", Yan Lin said. "I think a school black-out sounds nice."

"Works fo me.", Angelo said with a smirk.

"And we know just the girl for the job.", Cassidy said smiling.

'Oh, Rissa?', Angelo called out to Nerissa telepathiclly. 'We have an idea that you'll love!'

'Lay it on me!', Nerissa said with a smirk.

A/N: Well, this was an interesting morning. First Angelo wakes up to Cassidy and Halinor in bed with him, and then Irma gets herself four days of detention. And Yannie can act! She could of fought back, but knew that getting one of them in trouble was better. And what of what Irma said about Eric? Will she apoligize or make things worse? And let's not forget about what Yan Lin, Cassidy and Aneglo have planned. Things are just getting started and it looks like our heroes may have their work cut out for them.

Please review.
