We meet again!

[raihnstar]

[Location: Bolivia]

Neil yawned on his side of the bed, waking slowly, feeling all the places that Jamie's skin touched his and enjoying it thuroughly. It sent little buzzes of happyness up his spine and he let out a happy sigh through his nostrils, smiling with white teeth. In spite of his happyness, something in the back of his mind buzzed at him. Or rather, it pulled him. It took him awhile to recognize what it, but as soon as he did he practically ran out of bed. Quickly getting on underwear and pants, he grabbed a jacket and ran outside to the street. Clouds came out of nowhere and the air suddenly fizzed with energy.

A loud bolt of lightning came down from the sky straight at Neil. A crack of thunder followed shortly, and where Neil had stood a slightly charred spot was all that was left.

Neil blinked his eyes open, disoriented as he looked around. He seemed to be in some sort of small scale riot, because men with shields and masks were everywhere. He tried to look for the source and found to his surprise that it was only two men. A second later, he saw why. Four or five men at a time where getting thrown back forcefully with purple magic, and pink magic, while others surrounded the man.

Neil's blue eyes assessed the situation carefully, and he noticed another pixie behind the one with purple hair, out cold. A roar of anger from the pixie snapped Neil into action and he pointed at the two men. A wall of ice about a foot thick errupted between the two men and the police, then moved back swiftly so that the policemen had to run quickly out of the way to avoid getting run over.

In a leasurely way, Neil transported himself to Dax and the other pixie amiably. "Glad to see you've kept my gift, Dax." he said with a deep chuckle, grabbing the startle'd pixie's arm, and touching the other one with his foot. The three cracked out of sight and ended up slightly to the left of where Neil had originally bolted himself. Neil's hair crackled and smoked a little, before calming down. "Thought it'd be best to get out of there quick. Is your friend allright?" he asked, bending down to look at Loki. "Or is he your brother? You look similar."
(heh, blue only plz. )

((XD do I post here too? *confuzed*))

<sub>Dax was fighting as best he could. He was older, slightly taller, leaner, yeah, he had a rugged sort of punker look to him, somehow like he might have been to jail. His Purple hair and brilliantly glittering pink eyes, along with the new peircings on his right ear, they gave him a ‘don’t mess with me’ look. He’d actually gotten a tattoo since he got out of school. Loki had talked him into it, the idiot, who was now totally unconscious behind him. He was defending his friend, tossing back guys with big bursts of magic. He was panicking, he had to admit. They just kept COMING!!! And with Loki not at his side anymore he was feeling more cornered each second. They’d only stolen a FEW diamonds! Nothing they should get so upset about! And the pink diamond had just attracted him so much! He couldn’t just LEAVE it there!! So why wasn’t he flying away? Well, because he couldn’t carry Loki, their bag of diamonds that was as big as a golden retriever, AND the bag of money which was only half as big as the first bag. Dammit. They couldn’t magic out either, mostly because Dax had used a lot of it trying to toss full grown men back.

The bolt had rung in his ears and as another guy got closer Dax let out a roar of anger, trying to force his magic greater, fighting them off like a beast. Then the most unexpected thing happened and a black guy with yellow hair was standing in front of him. Dax was so shocked he didn’t think of attacking. The guy touched him and in a blinding flash they were gone and back somewhere totally different. The black guy’s hair sparked and Dax was stunned till the guy said something about his friend. Loki!!! Dax turned sharply, going to crouch near Loki. He shook him.

”Loki…Hey, dude, wake up you idiot…”

He shook his friend harder and the white haired guy blinked dazed before making a moan and closing his eyes. He muttered something that sounded a lot like ‘Where the hunnies at’ and Dax rolled his eyes, getting up to look at the black guy again. It then hit him who this guy was. The guy who’d just saved his ass and he grinned, looking the guy up and down before saying it outloud.

”Neil?! What the f**k?! Dude!!! How the hell’d you find us?!”

Loki stirred on the ground, opening black eyes again and looking up before juts laying on the ground, seeming to look around and take in his surroundings…

Jamie had felt Neil stir, a little surprised as he jumped out of bed and ran away. She heard the familiar crack as he disappeared and wondered where he was off to. She yawned, rolled over, drifted, and again heard the sound of Neil returning. She sighed, getting up and yawning again. She took a button up shirt, her favorite, and the easiest one to get off, put it on, and started towards the door. She stepped outside, luckily wearing some black underwear before spotting two guys with neil not far away. She felt underdressed… Oops…</sub>

[ßlue]

((XD I love Loki, he is such a womanizer ^_^))

[raihnstar]

((haha, sure!))
Neil grinned hugely at Dax when he finally recognized him, and clapped him on the back with a huge hand. "Good to know you still remember me!" he said cheerfully, swooping down and picking Loki up carelessly. "My house is right up this way. Couldn't get the bags you had with you, but that's probably for the best." he said cheerfully, letting Loki's head bounce on his back as he took large strides towards the appartment. Jamie was on the stairs and he waved, "Dax, remember Jamie? Did you ever meet her?"

As they reached Jamie Neil grinned, "Nice outfit." he whispered into her ear with a chuckle and entered the appartment. It was tiny, as appartments went, and obviously not permanet. There were a few hasty bunks set out, toys scattered all over the place, and a sad looking couch in the back corner. Neil put Loki on the couch gently and turned around, in the process stepping on Kira's tell.

The black panther yowled in pain and took a swipe at him, which he dodged skillfully. "Well if you didn't leave your tail hanging everywhere--" he began to argue with the cat, taking two steps and reaching the kitchen. He grabbed a rag and stuck some ice in it. Two black blurrs rushed by, shrieking curses at each other in high girlish laughter.

Neil ignored all of these distractions skillfully and put the ice on Loki's head, getting some more for Dax before finally paying attention to the shrieking children. He picked one of them up with one hand and turned her on her head. "Janine." he said in a mock serious voice.

The twelve year old shrieked, trying to right herself, laughing the whole time. "Janine..." Neil said again, and the girl pouted, handing the gold comb she'd been holding to the other girl. Yulia took the comb, stuck her tongue out, and ran back to the bathroom. Neil looked up at Dax and grinned, "This is Janine. We're getting her a comb tomorrow. Meanwhile she will have to do without." he said, speaking more to Janine than to Dax.

Janine wriggled out of his grip and smiled at Dax happily. "You have purple hair. Purple is a girl colour." she said, and escaped her father's hands before he could reprimand her again.

Neil shrugged and sat on a plastic chair that was in the middle of the room, pointing to the other, "So how's life treating you?" he asked cheerfully, his blue eyes sparkling merrily. He knew very well that he'd ignored Dax's original question.

["Parker!"]

[xDDD hahaha 'where da hunnies at' haha rofl]

[ßlue]

((XD rofl I KNOW!!! Thats Loki for ya, barely conscious and he thinks he's passed out at a party or something, dreaming of girls. OMG just WAIT!!! XD))

[ßlue]

<sub>Dax grinned, following and going upstairs, hand reaching into his pocket and making sure the pink diamond was still there. It was. He sighed. He was planning on doing something with it and giving it to Kass if he eve saw her again. His heart ached thinking he might not. It ached knowing he wasn’t with her now. He spotted Jamie at the top of the stairs and couldn’t help but give her lightly clad figure a good lookin over. She seemed to notice, measure him up and turned to follow Neil inside staying quiet and watching the two new comers curiously. Dax stood, looking around the small slightly cramped apartment. Not bad, better than what him and Loki had been living in most nights, despite the money they’d had. He still had that panther. He watched Loki get laid on the couch and then there were shrieks and little things running around. He didn’t know what to make of it. He hadn’t seen a kid in such a long time. Jamie’s eyes darted after the small figures, smiling when Neil picked one up. Her eyes met Dax’s knowing he was looking at her and she looked him up and down, still wondering before she went and sat on the couch that Loki was laying on.

Dax watched Loki, seeing he was rather awake now and watching the half naked girl as she sat down. Jamie ignored him, but could feel that hot stare on her. Maybe she shouldn’t look so pretty. She looked slowly at Loki, a seductive smile sliding lazily across her face, He smiled back, raising an eyebrow in a flirting offer with no words. It took only half a second for Jamie’s face to distort itself, a hideous fanged thing hissing at him before turning pretty and flicking back to Neil with a dazzeling smile. As if to say “I’m the innocent one…” Dax saw it too, shocked and looking to Neil with a ‘DID YOU SEE THAT?!’ on his face. Loki blinked a few times, looked around to confirm he did in fact see her turn into an ugly vampire lookin creature and then proceeded to stare at her boobs, a small smile nesting on his face. He was content.

Dax spoke.

”Uhhh, no, I don’t think I saw Jamie… uhhh…I really don’t know…”

Dax looked at the little girl Neil had set down. She called his hair a girly color and ran away. He blinked, looking at neil.

”Does she not know her dad has yellow hair? Nevrmind. Anyway, I think life has been treating me…fairly well. Not dead yet, as you can see. I found my best friend in Ireland not too long after we got out of school, and what more could I want? I’m happy…”

He didn’t know why that last part sounded so hard. He was pretty happy. But he knew what could make him the happiest guy in the world. He could go, possibly have that one thing. See her again. But…what if she broke his heart again? She had always done that. She would reject his love and reject it over and over again. Then for one shimmering moment of pure love she would accept him and all was well and then…she would push him away again. That’s why he’d left. He couldn’t stand to see her hurt them again…</sub>

[raihnstar]

Neil barely twitched when he saw Jamie change her face, except to let his lips smile a little more as he looked at Dax. He listened quietly and a single eyebrow rose. He'd heard the unspoken dialog that had run across Dax's face. A mixture of sadness and solemnity ran across Neil's face. "Ah...yes. Happyness. A hard thing to come by." he said quietly. The sound of crying reached his ears and he looked at Jamie for help, "Could you--?" he begged her, glancing at the door. It was Yulia, of course.

He turned back to Dax, his face shadowed as he sighed and scratched his head. His hair crackled and he removed his hand. "I'm ah...going to go to fairyland next month. After the wedding." he said after an uncomfortable pause. The pixie probably hadn't heard about it. "I tried to stop her from marrying th'jerk but she's convinced it's the best way to save her kingdom." His eyes looked at Dax's face carefully, and still not finding signs of recognition he shook his head slowly, "You know... Kassidy... she's marrying the King of the Night Fairy's."

He didn't wait for Dax to react and plowed on, "Anyway, you know how she is...headstrong. Still, not the point. There's something you should know about this whole business. I was going to tell you ah...later...but you're here now." Neil sighed, frowning slightly and getting up to stretch his suddenly stiff muscles.

"She's carrying a curse..." he paused, glancing at Dax, clearly worried, "I got it looked into awhile ago...it seemed odd to me after you left that she barely spent a minute moping over it. She just...forgot. And later when I asked her why she was such a bit.ch to you she didn't even know what I was talking about." Neil sucked in a breath, "Dax, somebody made her forget about you with a spell. A slow acting spell. A light fairy speciality, which is what's so troubling."

((D:))

[ßlue]

((=_=` this is gonna take sooooo loooong... *dies*))

((*so lazy* Raaaaihn, can't you post them for meeee? =_=` or let me post them all?

the back and forth thing is killing me @_@ *so impatient*))

["Parker!"]

[xD i acually thought of that when me and rahin were just posing back and forth.... yeah..it gets kinda old -_-]

[ßlue]

<sub>Jamie heard the crying of one of the girls. She sighed, smiling in the direction and nodding as Neil asked her to go take care of it. She walked out of the room and closed the door. They probably wanted to be left alone anyway, and as she closed the door she blushed, growling slightly as she still felt the white haired guy's eyes on her butt.

Dax watched the girl go, so did Loki, but as Dax watched her back, of course Loki's eyes were glued to her perfect ass. Hot d**n. Loki smiled dreamily. He'd never seen such a hot chick. She was super model hot! He turned back around, putting his hands behind his head and grinning, feeling like he wanted to get a blow job from such a pretty mouth. He went on daydreaming and Dax stared at him a second as if knowing and thinkin he was such a pig. Pink eyes turned back to Neil as he mentioned something about a wedding. Dax stiffened a little, mind going instantly to Kassidy but not knowing what Neil was talking about and dreading the way he looked like he didn't want to be the one to say it. He stomach felt hollow. He held his breath warily as Neil went on, saying Kassidy, HIS KASSIDY, was getting MARRIED to the king of the NIGHT FAIRIES!!!

Dax pushed back in his chair as far back as he could, shock, horror, and disbelief coloring his face. He felt his blood draining and Loki looked over to see his friend, sitting up to try and be alert but feeling his head swim and laying back down on the couch. Dax couldn't believe it. No. NO!! NOT HIS IDIOT FAIRY!!!! Neil went on. Kass had a curse on her. She didn't remember him! What?! This... This was all so terrible!!! He started coming back to himself, looking down shocked but now his mind was working, thinking of a plan. Then anger kicked in and he jumped to his feet growling in a deep dangerous way. He sounded like he was going to kill someone. He may not have known it yet, but he would be killing someone.

"We have to go help her! I cant just let her go and get married! I DONT CARE IF SHE DOESN'T f**kING KNOW ME ANYMORE, I f**kING LOVE HER AND SHE IS NOT GOING TO MARRY SOME ASS FROM f**kIN NIGHTYVILLE!!!"

yeah, he was kinda pissed...</sub>

Neil watched quietly as Dax's face turned from red, to white, to red, to angry. He didn't even move when Dax started yelling and just stared at him silently. "Sit down, Dax." he said in a low voice. "There's nothing we can do to stop the wedding. It's too late. Even if you went in there with the best intentions, she'd think you were a crazy person and lock you up for eternity, or send you away. In her own kingdom not even /I/ can stand up against her..." Neil sighed angrily and sat down again, covering his face with his hands.

He felt a heavy weight on his back, guilt, he realized. He felt guilty at not being able to stop this. Had he tried harder-- or found out sooner who had done thsi to kassidy...but it was no good dwelling on it. "What we're going to do," he told Dax slowly, "Is wait. A week or two after the wedding should do it...and even after that I think it'd be best to wait longer." he wasn't explaining, more talking to himself.

A small boy walked in on the three and jumped on Neil's lap, startling him. Neil blinked at the boy and then hugged him, his face still slightly haggard. Rorr hugged his father back, letting the older man hold him for awhile before squirming down. "I'm truly sorry, Dax. I wasn't paying close enough attention-- I should have known..." he let out a breath, and looked up with his electric blue eyes at Dax's pink ones.

"We'll fix this." he said, his voice deep and reassuring. "I'll do everything I can to fix this." Rorr was tugging at his sleeve and Neil half turned, keeping a watchfull eye on Dax.

"Can I have a piece of candy?" he asked in a solemn voice. Neil gave him a half smile and produced a snickers bar from his jacket pocket. "Go give some to your sisters too." he told the boy, sending him off with a fond push.

He stared after Rorr absently, "Poor Kassidy. She's in trouble...I've had a few run ins with the Night Fairy's...they're not pleasant people. Especially not King Victor. This won't be a pleasant marriage, I'm afraid." he said heavily.

<sub>Dax watched, anger wanning slightly. He fell back into the chair feeling weak. There had to be something. Neil was mumbling on. Wait a few weeks after the wedding. a small whisper in his mind kept saying there was nothing they could do. It was hopeless, but rage at that voice strengthened him and he sat up, growling and hitting the arm of the chair with his fist. Dax was about to start yelling again when a small boy came into the room. How many kids did Neil HAVE?! He stared, the boy going up to his dad and hugging him. Neil zoned out for a moment, paying attention to his kid. Dax tried to calm down a little, steaming in his chair. Jamie was spying a little, listening and following along, waiting for Rorr to come back with candy. Neil never would give her candy he teased her with it, she had to bribe the kids and send them in to get it.

Dax was in pain, not really physical, but he felt in agony. His face was hard. Loki looked over at his friend, a small bit of concern touching his face. He didn't like to see Dax like this. Dax was his rock. If Dax broke down Loki was gonna drown sure enough. His eyes wandered to the door the hot chick had disappeared from, watching the little boy go back there and him handing the candy bar to her victoriously before she handed him a toy. What was that? Maybe he'd hit his head harder than he thought? He laid down, watching Dax from the corner of his eye.</sub>

((aww, y'know How Jamie is Neil's rock? She keeps him from doing anything too bad? Dax is Loki's rock, he usually talks him down form the worst things..and then Loki talks Dax into some bad things XD like stealing diamonds and getting tattoos XD))

Neil cleared his throat, looking at Dax wearily, "Cheer up. I'm taking you to the wedding ceremony. Hopefully you manage to make an impression on the Queen." He paused, "She won't be pleased about me showing up, considering I keep trying to talk her out of marrying King Victor, but I'll show up anyways." he paused, giving Dax a half smile.

"It'll be fun. We can dress up in umm...costumes. We'll rent a few nice ones." Neil glanced at Loki, "Oy, Loki. That your name?" he asked, and then didn't bother listening to the answer, "We need some contacts within the castle to keep watch over Kassidy and alert us if anything /really/ bad goes down. I know fairy's don't like pixie's in general, but you look like a lovable bloke.." he told him with a cheeky grin. "Think you could get me some contacts? The fairy's dress quite slinkily there." he added with a wink, trying to lighten the mood.

Neil stretched and turned towards the door, "Jamie you can stop listening at keyholes now." he called to her. "I think I'll bring the goblins and Kira to the fairy ball, if they behave." A loud cheer from the children was heard and they started talking excitedly in one voice behind the door. Neil's eyes softened for a moment and then he turned back to Dax, his eyes electricly excited. "I'm sorry I put this off so long, Dax...I hope you'll find it in you to forgive me." he said sadly, "I kept getting distracted... and then there was the war in Kiia."

He shrugged, "You'll stay here to sleep, of course." he added, "We can take an extra kid in my bed, and one of you can have the cott. And we've got plenty of food." He nodded, "You're both looking rather thin." he added, and chuckled to himself. "Tomorrow we can get some clothes for the wedding..." he paused, "Dax... I'm sorry." he said softly once again.

<sub>Dax looked up at Neil, nodding to him and slumping back in his chair thinking hard. He nodded, thinking everything out. What could he do? He dreaded going to the ball, seeing Kass and knowing she didn’t know who he was. What would he say to her that might help her trust him? He bit his thumbnail, zoning out to think. Jamie smiled form the other side of the door, chewing the last bite of Snickers and laughing with the kids as they cried out and started talking. One of them would be sharing the bed with Neil and her tonight. She opened the door, coming out and slipping around to stand behind Neil’s chair. She lowered her chin, resting it on crossed arms on the back of his chair, smiling slightly like a cat. Loki grinned, sititng up more slowly this time.

”Hey, if she’s whats in bed, can I be a kid for tonight?”

He looked at her, smiling and winking a black orb. Jamie’s smile vanished and she looked even more like a cat, one that was thinking about scratching eyes out. She stood up, ‘hmph’ing slightly and walking back into her and Neil’s room, closing the door with a loud thud. Pshhh, she had looked even sexier walking out in that shirt and panties the second time. She was sure Neil might have noticed, but the two new ones? She put her long brown hair into a pony tail and dragged on some loose jeans, golden eyes smiling slightly. She was lookin good today.</sub>


Neil laughed and Loki's joke and shook his head as Jamie walked away, upset. "Jamie is one of the less easily wooed of the human race." he told Loki with a wink. "You're welcome to try, though. Can't guarantee success, but hey-- you never know!" Was it odd that Neil was letting Loki take a shot at Jamie? Not by his standards. He slept with different women all the time, and didn't really consider himself attatched to Jamie. She /was/ probably one of the best things about his life right now, but he was a free spirit, and allthough the thought of Jamie with another man bothered him a little, it wasn't a very big deal, and he got rid of the irksomeness in his mind.

"I'll leave you two with your thoughts, I suppose." Neil said cheerfully. "I promised I'd take my kids to the town, so you're welcome to join me-- allthough you're still looking a bit cut up, Loki, so you may want to wait on that." Rorr ran out of the back room and climbed up onto Neil's shoulders (quite a feet, for such a small child), while Yulia followed slowly and held Neil's hand. Janine had rushed ahead and was calling for them to hurry up. "You coming, sexy lady?" he called at Jamie, bouncing Rorr slowly on his back.

"We're not waiting forever you know." he said with a laugh, and started out the door. In passing he patted Dax's shoulder, "Hang in there, Dax." he said, ducking low to let Rorr's head pass over the top of the door frame. "I'm starting out, Jamie!" he hollered, clanking down the staircase comfortably.

<sub>Loki grinned. Seriously? He could try and hit that? The guy wasn't going to punch him or anything? What an awesome guy, Dax really knew how to pick his friends. He was gonna like it here. Dax on the other hand had slipped into a sort of thought coma, his brain working hard and fast as it could, finding dead ends every direction he tried. Loki settled down on the couch again, chuckling to himself. The kids came back, Jamie still in the back. She yelled 'just a sec' and then as Neil left she came out, but...it wasn't her. It was a smokin blonde chick with the biggest… blue eyes he'd ever seen. She was a goddess. He sat up, mouth hanging open as he watched her go. She stopped in the doorway to close the door behind them, meeting Loki's shocked lusting eyes and letting a small satisfied smile touch her face before she stuck up her nose, made a 'Hmph!' noise and closed the door. Loki whispered something, slipping back down on the couch.

Hot d**n</sub>
