Chapter Six: A Little Cheer

(Felicia)

Dinner passed by and Sophia having been forced to join us by Cynder was a wonderful companion. By the time Cynder began to grow bored, we were the only ones in the restaurant and having nothing better to do Sophia requested the pleasure of accompanying us. Cynder pretended to be hurt and pouted mockingly.

"Sophia how could you assume we were tired of your company. Didn't I teach you anything? Do you have any plans?" Sophia pretended to think, "Well Paul is currently away and I would be alone in the house with nothing to do. I wonder what I will choose, alone time or friend time." She took, I was surprised to notice, some time to apparently think about it. Cynder looked amused while I just looked confused.

"I have made a decision. I have decided to accompany you home." Cynder rolled her eyes and I stared from one to another completely and totally lost. To make matters worse, no one bothered to fill me in. I did catch the glint in Cynder's eye telling me she was well aware of my dilemma.

While not fully night outside, it was dark enough as we walked. We passed stores and empty stores and it seemed very weird to see the quiet of the city. For the most part, we walked on in silence having nothing to actually talk about. I noticed that as I walked the familiar it began to look and I realized that this was where I had seen the two dragons staring into the windows.

To my slight amusement, I noticed that the two dragons were still fighting. Both had some scratches on their scales. The poor dears must have been fighting this whole time. Cynder appeared to be as shocked as I was that they were still here. Sophia just looked annoyed and was glaring at the arguing dragons.

Were they really fighting over me this whole time? This was in some way my fault so it was up to me to end the fight before it escalated further. I took a step forward and noticing what I was doing Cynder nodded, an encouraging look on her face. Sophia just looked annoyed.

"Gentleman, can I say something?" Comically the fighting dragons stopped mid-fight and stared at me, mouths agape. "Please tell me you did not witness out fight this whole time." It was the one who was wondering how to hook up with me.

"Oh heavens no, I snuck away when the fight broke out." He looked relieved and got up pushing his brother apparently off of him. I didn't know how I knew this, it made the most sense so I stuck with it. "I am now aware that the fight broke out because of me. While I don't approve of bloody all out wars over females, in this case because of my situation, I can make an exception. I thank you, and to reward you, I give you this."

Hoping I was doing it right, I leaned toward the fight starter and brushed his lips with mine. It was short, sweet, and had comical results. His eyes widened and he froze. Both Sophia and his brother rolled their eyes, while Cynder was on the ground, looking like she was in a literal fit of hysterics.

"Dammit man, you got what you wanted, why do you have to freak out now?" He sighed then with more amusement in his voice. "Lady, I think you made his brain explode! Too much shock could do that, and he never got kissed by a goddess, begging your pardon mam." Cynder was gasping tears on her face, laughing hard. She looked in danger of losing oxygen.

"Oh dear, I hope I didn't mess him up too much." His brother, smiled. "You did him a favor miss, he never gets attention if you know what I mean. Some action, will do him good." I worried about him staying the whole time his brother was getting over his sensual overload. I wondered why Sophia was glaring at the brothers like that. Cynder was crying, making deep breathy gasps, trying to regain lost air.

Sophia just glared at her. "Come on Giggles, it's time to move." I was about to ask for an explanation but Sophia beat me to it, shocking the hell out of me. "They are my adoptive younger brothers and annoying as hell. The one who wasn't in a shock coma is named Braid, and doesn't spend half of my life bugging me. The other is Felix. It was a good thing you did for him Felicia. He will have something to brag about now."

I looked worried. I hoped this wouldn't cause her undue stress. She waved off the unanswered question and I knew it was ok. Cynder calmed down enough to move and function normally and got up wiping a few loose tears from her eyes before walking ahead. I felt good helping people and I wondered what would become of Felix.

Cynder was talking non-stop about the event and I just listened to it. I did not have the heart to make her stop. I am glad that during the day we had beautied up slightly and I wondered what Flame would think of my new look. Then I wondered why I even thought of him in the first place. Things were about to get complicated.

I am terribly sorry for the shortness, I got distracted and ran out of plot for this chapter.
