Re: The Ye Old Shoppe o' Curiosities (An OpenBook Production)

[OpenTheDoor]

Fergie: I could only raise a brow at her playfully, the same cheeky smirk printed on my face. Holding myself above her, I continued to peer into her eyes, locked by the mix of rainbow colours and the sheer beauty.
"I guess that we could forget about the whole 'what if they hear?' dilemma..."
And that would simply get rid of all of my worries.
"Then maybe we could have our peace."

[bookcrazI]

Molly:
I giggled, "That doesn't bar the door, for your information..."
My arms wrapped around his neck and pulled his face to mine for a kiss. I had one knee up to steady myself in case I wanted to try and pin him again.
"I love you..." I murmured with a smile.

[OpenTheDoor]

Fergie: "I love you too. And I've got that covered: I have a lock on there," I murmured, rolling my eyes, "on the inside."
Pressing my lips against her, lightly, gently, then a little more forcefully, taking her up. My hands wandered down to her hips, fiddling with the ends of the shirt that she was wearing, toying with the thoughts of what was underneath. And, to that, I could only grin.

[bookcrazI]

Molly:
"Two can play at that game you little pervert..." I giggled.
I took my hands down to his loosely held up towel and raised my eyebrows, ever so slowly tugging at it.
I shivered as his hand brushed against my bare hip, he really wanted his t-shirt back, didn't he?

[OpenTheDoor]

Fergie: Pervert? That was a little harsh, wasn't it?
But as the towel began to drop, I didn't stop the decline.
"Whatever, lovie," my words dragged, playing on the tip of my tongue, "Show us your hand."
My hands continued to slip up, beneath the shirt, gently trailing along the skin from her hips, to her stomach, to her chest. My eyes didn't leave her face, pinned on to she her reaction.

[bookcrazI]

Molly:
Oh, so this was a game of reactions. I raised a brow sarcastically, I had been part of debutante contests and little miss's and the like, I could keep a straight smiling face through pretty much anything.
I put on the perfect white smile and pulled his towel off with a final tug. My eyes glinted with a dare.

[OpenTheDoor]

Fergie: Ah, Miss Straight-Face, was she?
But as the towel dropped down to the bed and I was still pinning her down, the smile couldn't be erased from my face. But as my hands ventured to her front, I pressed my lips against hers again, indulging myself in her.
Let's see if I could get her to break.

[bookcrazI]

Molly:
I broke the kiss only to take the t-shirt off fully and tossed it aside, the smile still on my face. I raised my eye brows and sent him a 'Give it your best shot bucko' look matched with a little head tilt.
My hands wandered down to his hips, my challenge; to get him to crack before I did. I arched my back so my face was closer to his and kissed his neck.

[OpenTheDoor]

Fergie: I tried to break through the whole hip thing, though my smile couldn't help but break into a small laugh. But as my hands continued to caress her chest, my lips soon began to trail down from her mouth, further down south. I sunk myself into her, enjoying every second as though it was my last. I really did love her.
But this had most definitely became a contest. And I might just lose.

[bookcrazI]

Molly: I bit my lip to keep from breaking, though just moments before I had almost thought I won. Winning seemed harder to grasp and I reverted to backhanded methods, meaning I grabbed his ass.
Inside I was giggling like a little girl and trying to keep focus as his lips wandered, outside I was biting my lip and closing my eyes, focusing on trying to win.
This seemed almost too fun.

[OpenTheDoor]

Sorry I've been off! About fifty things cropped up and then I went on holiday and err...

Fergie: "Oh you bitch!"
I couldn't help but yelp as she took a hold of my plushy butt. People always said that it was my best feature, my squeezable ass, and I always knew that it was the part of the body that made the ladies wild. And as I raised my lips from her body, I could only glare at her; that place was my one weakness... Well, other than the obvious one. But the sensual shivers tingled through my body, and it only made me want her more. And seeing her lying there, bare skinned, beneath me...
"That spell better be sound-proof."

[bookcrazI]

Np

Molly: I cackled at his exclamation, assuming I had won the game. His last question left me blushing, just a tiny bit, my mind wandering off into those dark little corners we tend to hide.
I pushed him over so I was ontop and I looked down at him, my eyes glinting and heart pounding.
"Let's test that shall we?" I asked mischievously before leaning in to kiss him.

[OpenTheDoor]

Fergie: Well, as if I was going to say 'Nah, let's not test it. Let's just lie here, naked, on my queen sized bed and with limited time. Let's play scrabble!'.
Though I was still annoyed that she had pinned down again, I was completely submissive to the passion of her kiss. My hand gently trailed along the length of her leg, just with the tips of my fingers. Soon, the other hand followed suit until they met her hips. Running them back, they meet themselves around her behind.

Just a quick question: are we going for details of what happens or are we going to skip to the next day when they...get to it?

[bookcrazI]

... I don't care, nor do I mind either way... we can just skip to the next day if you want... I am completely neutral in this case...

[OpenTheDoor]

Er... Okay, next day it is then

Do you want to start it or shall I?

[bookcrazI]

I shall

Molly: I snuggled closer to Fergie, nuzzling my face against his chest, trying to get more comfortable. I wasn't used to such a big bed and the space had me rolling around, I was a restless sleeper and the more space I was given the more I tended to roam.
I opened my eyes slowly, blinking a few times to rid the blur of sleep, and smiled as I saw Fergie's face so close to mine.
I loved him.
He was still asleep.
I frowned.
I let my hand wander up his back, trying to wake him up gently.
We only had a bit more time left.


Johnny: I woke up grimacing, back hurting, and a phone ringing.
What a wonderful way to wake up.
The phone grated against my ears but with the weight of sleep on my shoulders I left it be.
Ringing.


Lila: I finished the last stitch on the piece of embrodiered handkerchief I was making. Sighing.
Wishing.
Hoping for freedom.

[OpenTheDoor]

Fergie: I could have easily have said that I was sleeping the best that I ever had done before, lost in the dream-filled wonders of my mind. Contented with the fields of candyfloss that my mind had painted, I was just about to take a bite out of the waffle tree...but then...
"Ah!"
Jolting awake, my eyes were wider than a deer caught in headlights, unblinking. Her hand was freezing and my back was warm... Well, it most definately was.
"Morning, Molly," I sighed, my eyes lazily drooping to look at her, "Good night's sleep, I trust."
Sneakily, a sly grin formed on my face as I rolled onto my side to look at her properly. She was gorgeous.

Robin: "Pick up, pick up, pick up..."
I didn't know what was more frustrating: sitting there, waiting for Johnny to pick up his blooming phone or watching Angie picking out all of the wheat Cheerios from her bowl and then feeding them to the cat. Then again he might not have been awake, I mean, it was 9:30, but I'd been up since the crack of dawn, studying the book that he had forced me to read for want of anything else to do. It was Parlor curse, waking up at ridiculous times in the morning, and both Angie and I suffered from it. Olly could sleep until the afternoon most times.
"Maybe he's sleeping. He is a teenaged boy after all," my little sister muttered, offering Marcus yet another piece of her breakfast, "Just look at Olly."
That was true, and I had been told that one of the most annoying things about me was the fact that I tended to interupt sleeping people... Oh well, Johnny wouldn't mind: I knew that he loved me.

Olly: "Actually, I'm awake and have been for quite a while, thank you very much, young lady."
Slipping into the kitchen, my eyes rolled as I caught a glimpse of what Angie was doing. I didn't see why we didnt just get a cereal with bits that were all of the same...
"Aren't you usually still asleep though?" Robin smirked, still holding her mobile to her ear.
"Had a few things that I had to get an early start on," I shrugged, opening the fridge, "No biggie."
Okay, that was a lie. Truth was that I couldn't sleep, for the second time in my life. The first time was when dad left us, and I was waiting for him to come back. He never did though... But this was about what happened Lila, what she said and everything like that. Was she ever going to come back?... I just didn't know.
"No answer. Brilliant, Johnny."
Finally hanging up, Robin slipped her phone into her shorts pocket, letting out a sigh. Folding her arms, she rested herself against the side of the counter, watching as I roamed the fridge for something to eat.
Oh yeah, that was the other thing: I found out that my sister was dating an elf, a real life Legolas... I was going to have to talk to her about that...

[bookcrazI]

Molly: I grinned at him, "Better than most, I mean at least this bed doesn't have bugs in it..."
She shuddered, remembering her bedmates for the last couple weeks. She pulled the covers up to her neck and blushed a bit, her boldness gone. Her eyes grew as she heard steps echoing outside Fergie's room and a slight humming, maybe the tune to a tv show.
"Fergie....." she whispered urgently.

Johnny: I grimaced and dragged my body to the phone, crawling all the way to the kitchen to get it.
"Hallo? It's a bit early..." He answered, his voice gravelly from sleep.
It had rung for about ten minutes and he got to the point of contemplating smashing the dreaded thing.
Calmer heads prevailed.
After answering he realized how easy it would have been just to unplug the thing.

Lila:
I sucked my stabbed finger, grimacing at the metallic taste of blood, and wondering if Olly had found out that she had left her number in his pocket.
She hoped he hadn't found it.
She also wish he would.
She had seen two other young men since meeting him.
Both were prissy, rich kids from noble magic families.

They were the kind of guys that made her feel like fainting out of....'delicacy' to leave.

[OpenTheDoor]

Fergie: Oh shit.
Leaping out of bed, I grabbed her underwear and tossed it onto the bed, "Go into the ensuite. I'll intersect."
And as I gave her a nod, I snatched my dressing gown from off of the side and quickly wrapped it around me, covering up my nakedness. It was Saturaday and so that meant that Jefferey would be bringing up his breakfast in bed.
"Master Ferguson, breakfast call. I trust that you are awake?"
Casually running for the door, I swung it open, hoping that behind me Molly had made the dive in time. She was a reasonably quick runner, wasn't she?
"Um, no Jefferey, I sleepwalk now," I grinned, rolling my eyes sarcastically, "Of course I'm awake. I just got up to shut a window which I left open all night accidentally. Oh, and thank you. I can take that."
Lifting the tray of eggs and bacon from out of his hands, I gave him a cheery smirk to the confused befuddlement which he showed. But as I walked back to my bed, the house elf began to hang around the door.
"Master Ferguson, excuse me for intruding but I never saw Miss Molly leave the property last night. You didn't leave her to sleep overnight here, I hope."
My heart inside began to panic slightly, but this new Fergie didn't worry, that's why I liked him that little bit more.
"She left through the windows last night. She felt that meeting my parents in such a way wouldn't be proper. I used a levitation spell to put her down gently and she left for her home... If you really must know."

Robin: "Oh, morning," I chirped, "I didn't wake you, did I? Sorry..."
By the sound of his dry throat and crackling voice, he was sleeping before I rang him. Oh well, I'm sure that he'll live. Elves are meant to be quite sturdy, right?
"Anyway, I was wondering what you were doing today. The weather's nice and I wanted to talk to you about the whole thing with the book, y'know. But if you're busy then nevermind. I know that Mr Wolfe has been piling on the homework lately and all..."
Absentmindlessly, I began to chew into my lip, going over what I had just said. I didn't come over too strong? I didn't miss out vital things? I didn't say vital things in front of the other two?... Apart from the fact that Olly knows about Johnny being an elf.
He'd want to talk to me about that. Balls.

Olly: Taking out a raspberry yoghurt, I slammed the fridge shut behind me, all whilst wondering how I was going to approach the whole thing. Should I just come out and ask her or beat about the bush a bit. She knew that I knew and all, and I knew that she knew that I knew... But not in front of Angie, Angie didn't have to know. Anyway, she was more concentrating on which outfit Marcus would want to wear today: the cowboy or the ballerina.
I picked up a spoon from out of the drawer and tore off the lid of my breakfast and delved into it, listening into my sister's end of the conversation. By just as I was about to scoop up some of the dairy goodness, the sound of my alarm on my phone echoed through the kitchen.
"Typical," I murmured, putting down the pot and slipping out my phone.
My phone came out, but also so did something else. A torn up bit of napkin wafted to the tiled floor gracefully. Brows furrowed, I bent to pick it up...but then Angie snatched it.
"I saw Lila put this in your pocket yesterday. What is it?"
Lila put it in my pocket?
"Pass it here and I'll see."
Robbing it from her grip, I unfolded the paper, revealing a set of numbers scribbled on in a fine calligraphy.
She had given me her number? That went better than expected!

[bookcrazI]

Molly: I had only enough time to cast a quick invisibility spell while leaping off his bed in a panic.
I scrambled to the other side of his room, carefully creeping towards the door and embracing my inner ninja, but in the morning it was more of an inner golem. I crossed my fingers, hoping that Jefferey could just leave the subject alone and not question it. Fergie's explanation made perfect sense, unless you saw the pile of patchwork clothes in the opposite corner of the room. Sure, I had my underwear but that hardly was enough coverage.

I blushed once more and held my breath, trying to be invisible in every sense of the word. I may have been unable to be seen by the eye but he wasn't deaf nor did he loose his sense of smell. Not to mention as an elf all of his senses were more acute than a humans, page 583 in 'Know your Myths'.
Johnny: I rubbed my head, trying to piece together the english so it made sense in my head.
"Yes. .....? Sure.. uh.. I'll drop by your house in about twenty minutes..." I said removing the sleep from my eyes.
I sniffed my pitts then grimaced.
"Better make that an hour...."
I smelt pretty bad, a shower was on the top of my list and then the collecting of books and what not added another ten minutes to my schedule. I knew that she must have questions for me, though I wasn't confident that I could answer them all.
Then there was the problem of her brother.
He knew about me now and that was another set of questions.
In the back of my mind I was worried for Fergie.
He was pretty broken down from the loss of Molly, we all were, but he took it the hardest. He truly loved her with all his heart and she had sacrificed her freedom to save her friends.
I had to check up on him, if I didn't who knew what shenanigans he would create out of grief?
It was going to be a long day.

Lila:
I placed my embroidery ring on my desk and slipped my cell into my bag.
I had maybe three hours to get out and come back with no questions asked.

I zipped my leather jacket up to my chin and stuffed my long hair into a beanie, exit wear- check.
I slung my bag over my shoulder and opened the window in the extravagant room enough that I could slip out.
With a gymnast's practiced grace I shimmied down the drain pipe next to the window and landed on my thick army boot soles silently. A few glances around for guards, though I knew they were changing the rotations already and none would be nearby, I sprinted for the stone wall encircling the property of my house.
This was the hardest part.
I jumped as high as I could and managed to grip the ledge of the wall, I struggled to pull myself up. The extra help from my feet scrambling to push my body up the wall gave me a better chance.
Once on the wall I slid down the other side and proceeded to sprint through the woods that surrounded the estate until I reached a highway.
From then on I was free.
For another hour at least.

[OpenTheDoor]

Fergie: Laying down the tray on my bedside, I turned to see the butler nod, taking me story well. But inside, I was shaking like a leaf, and I swore that his ears just pricked up slightly. It was clever that Molly remembered the invisible spell, though, just in case, but his hearing was amazingly good, better than most house elves; he could hear me breathing when I'm in the other room at times.
"Okay, Master Ferguson. I apologise for asking. Enjoy your breakfast."
And with a small bow of the head, the elf walked out, shutting the door behind him. But I caught the look on his face: it wasn't convinced.
"Shit," I murmured, taking a seat on the bed, "Bloody brilliant."

Robin: I couldn't help but smile, "Okay, there's no rush. I'll see you in a bit. Bye."
Clicking off the phone, I turned to my brother, the smile widening into a properly massive grin. She had given him her number? How sweet. I always knew that he would one day get a decent girl who wasn't a marching band geek, and she was really quite pretty.
"Lucky boy, aren't you?" I smirked, peering over his shoulder to look at it, "So are you going to call her?"
But as I slipped my phone back into my pocket, I suddenly realised that I only had an hour until he came. Sugar.
"See you guys later!" I yelled, sprinting for the door, "Oh, and Angie. Make sure you get changed. Johnny's coming over."

Olly: Should I call her? Well, she gave me her number so she obviously wanted me to call her... But when should I call her? Right now, or is that too needy and clingy? Or later, or will she get annoyed with me?
But then I heard what Robin said.
"Johnny's coming here? So I'll get to properly meet him. Lovely," I sighed, "Robin, actually, I need to talk to you about that..."

[bookcrazI]

Molly: I held my breath a few minutes longer, flinching at his twitching ears, and as soon as he left I collapsed on Johnny's bed, sucking in air and evaporating the spell.
Air.
Air tasted beautiful.
"Fergie... I think he knows... What are we gonna do?" I murmured, crawling a bit closer and clinging to him.
Yes.
I clung to him like one of those blond bimbo chicks who were always touching their man to keep him interested.
I had another reason to cling though, I had limited time and I wanted to hold him.
Was that so bad?

Johnny:
I had just stepped into the shower when I realized all my shampoo was gone. No soap either.
Shit.
I rinsed myself thoroughly and once out I grimaced. I still smelt like a teenage boy, that was not a good thing. I searched my cabinets, which there were about six of, and sighed when I pulled out the Fabreeze air freshener.
I could only weigh my options and fabreeze was the only one.
I uncapped the spray bottle and began to coat myself with 'Fresh Lemon Scent'.
Great.
Clothes were the easy part, I was out the door with all my books within thirty minutes and on my motor cycle in another ten.
Still smelling like fresh linen.

Lila:
I checked my watch and my wallet, each earning a sigh, and walked quickly to the bus stop.
I had maybe enough time to get to the library and spend at least forty- forty five minutes there. I had to research as much as I could if I was going to get out of my impending marriage while still keeping ties with my family. At last resort I would run, which was what I had been planning on for years, but that could cause a war between families.
I use to contemplate if I cared or not.
I usually concluded with the fact that I didn't.
I did worry for the suitors, as they would catch a bit of the blame.
Ah..
Freedom.
Why are you so hard to hold on to?

[OpenTheDoor]

Molly collapsed on Johnny's bed?! She's cheating on Fergie with jet best friend's boyfriend! :O

Fergie: Slowly by surely, I shook my head, "It doesn't matter, really. I know that he will never tell. I could get him fired if that happened, anyway, and he knows that and so we have a mutual trust between us. Our secret's safe."
Planting a small kiss on her forehead, I peered into her eyes, studying their depth and beauty. But she was wearing just her underwear and her clothes weren't of the best quality around...
"We need to get you some proper clothes," I sighed, "and my mum is like double the size of you so that won't work..."
Well, from here there were three real options: either Jeffrery goes and buys her some which would be the easiest but take the longest; Robin drops us off some which would probably mean that she would then interupt our only time of togetherness and act as the third wheel, or we sneak to her house and see what her mother hasn't thrown out.

Robin: I leaped up the stairs, huddling over the piles of clothes and Marcus which got in my way. For most an hour seemed like a reasonably long time but for me, I tended to panic and overestimate how long I actually need to get ready.
But then Olly would be in the way...
"I'm a but busy at the moment, Olly," I called down, quickly pulling out a few dress options, "Can we talk later?"
But before I could realise it, he was sitting on my bed, door shut, Marcus on his lap, blinking at me.
"I'd rather do this now, but it makes it easier when we both know what it's about, eh?" he murmured, beginning to stroke the tabby, "So, Johnny's an elf?"
"Ummm..." I trailed, my eyes seaching my wall, "Yeah. Is that a problem?"
I could feel the warmth rising to my cheeks. I had never imagined that I would be having this conversation with my big brother on such short notice. Sure, I knew that it was coming, but not now. He could have picked a better time for it, too.

Olly: "Well, yeah, seeing as you're human and he's an elf..."
Was I the only one that was missing the point? Anyway, I was her big brother and it was my duty to look after her, especially as Dad wasn't around any more.
"Aren't you a bit worried about all of that? Like meeting his parents, the whole magical world now existing and if you have kids what they're going to be like...? It's not like it's a guy from a different country; it's a different species! I'm pretty sure that humans and elves traditionally shouldn't mix."
Letting out a sigh, the girl rolled her eyes, "Who says that we're human? In case you haven't realised we're not exactly normal, are we? And I'm not just talking about the whole craziness... And I may know about the magical world more than you might think, Olly. And what about you, with that Lila girl? She's an elf!"
"Yes but it's different! She doesn't have a choice! Her family picked me and so she has to meet me! I don't know why specifically me as I'm only human bu--"
"If we were human do you think that the elves would even acknowledge us?! Olly, all I'm saying is in this world there is a lot more mystery and madness to it, and just because Johnny's an elf it doesn't mean that he's any different on the inside to a human. He's a nice guy. I liked him even before I found out he was an elf, and to begin with I was the same way. Lila's alright too. She's an elf. You should probably give her more of a chance. She's just trying to make the most of a desperate situation. I doubt that you're helping her. Sorry, but..."
And as she trailed off I could only look down to Marcus and my lap. But as soon as I did he hopped right off to circle Robin's feet.
I guess that she was right.
"I'll always be protective of you, y'know? But I'll be meeting him today and if I don't like him, I'll say."
I stood and gave her a nod before swinging open the door. There, on the other side sat Angie, tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Why are you fighting? I don't like it when you fight," she sniffed, swiping away the droplets from her cheeks.
Letting out another sigh, I stepped out of the doorway, letting the ginger tabby dart past me and to my little sister. Sitting on her feet, he me gently mewed, staring up at her.
"We weren't, anyway, it's over now," Robin murmured, too nudging past me to kneel down next to her, "Do you want to me to put a DVD on?"
She shook her head.
"A special biscuit?"
Again, she shook her head.
"Help me pick out a dress?"
"Yeah! And Marcus too! He likes picking out clothes!"
And as she leapt into her room, I could only walk away, back to my own room to figure out where to go from there. Maybe it would be best if I got out of the house for a bit?

[bookcrazI]

O.O.... FAIL!! I'm sorry.. I get really tired sometimes.. XD
Molly: I looked up at him and shook my head violently when he mentioned Robin.
"We can't.. I can't.. If I see her... It'd break her heart...and mine.." I said, biting my lip to keep from crying.
Just thinking about my best friend hurt.
I looked up at Fergie and tilted my head, an idea floating in.
"Can I see your largest shirt?"


Johnny: I brushed my wet hair back and shook my head a bit, trying to quickly air dry it before putting my helmet on, grimacing at the overpowering scent of Fabreeze.
I got on my bike and strapped the books onto the back compartment, carefully because many of the books were very old, and started up the engine.
Within a few minutes I was on the rode and driving quickly to Robin's house. Once there I parked my bike and sauntered up the front walkway with a ton of books in my arms, trying to balance them.

Lila:
Once in the library I took out three books on law and sat down at a table for intense reading. I had only a little bit of time before I had to get back home or the guards would realize I was missing.
If they found out then it would be double, maybe triple, watch from then on and even more supervisors and more structured days.
My mother may even take away my wardrobe and replace it with that of what an 'elven lady' would wear.
Bleh.

[OpenTheDoor]

No worries, I just laughed my butt off when I saw it

Fergie: Oh jeese, I almost made her cry...again.
"Err..." I murmured, turning around to look at my chest of drawers, "Okay. Just a second, it's a bit buried."
Walking over to them, I pulled out the top drawer, letting out a mutter of curse words when I saw the mess that I had caused from last night rummaging for my rattle and the aftermath of me then shoving it all back in. The worst thing was, however, though the drawers looked shallow, I had bought a spell scroll which made it bottomless so I could fit anything into them. Though it saved room, it did mean that it took forever to sort out.
"Help yourself to breakfast, Moll, I expect you're hungry..."
And I don't think that Lilith was a huge fan of normal human food. I think it was more...'exotic' delights, and I don't think that she had eaten since either lunch or last night. I didn't want her to starve.
Diving my whole arm into the drawer, I began pulling out a few shirts, until I came to the one that I was looking for. It was an old camp tee that I got a few years back. For some reason I ended up with one that was a size or two too big for me.
"Will this do?"

Robin: "Alright," I grinned as Angie took a seat on my bed, "We have these three to chose from ideally..."
Laying them out on the bed, my little sister studied them all, her nose turned up as though she was judging my fashion sense a little as she looked. Well, just because I didn't wear a tutu...
"I don't like that one," she sighed, pointing at the green one on the end, "I always hated that one. And that Paisley one looks like it belongs to a grandma... But I like the stripey one. It looks like a sailor."
And there she goes with her costumes.
"Well, that she quicker than I expected," I muttered, putting away the others, "And if you should know, this is a classic and is literally the only thing that goes with my tan pumps in my wardrobe."
Leaping onto her feet, Angie rolled her eyes at me, "Well maybe if you wore a tan belt...? I thought that you were good at fashion? I mean, gosh, Robbo. But I'll take that as a 'thank you'."
Picking up Marcus in her arms, the girl walked out, quick to exit, and in my mind I had no idea what was going on. Her eyes were just streaming with tears and now she's gotten somewhat snooty?
"Maybe she's bipolar."
And with that I threw on the dress and gave a quick minute-long spruce-up of my room and the bathroom. Those were really the only places where he was going to go, weren't they?

Olly: "Guys! I'm going out for a bit! I'll be back in an hour or so, alright?"
I supposed that I could meet Johnny later, depending on if he leaps out of the house right after he comes in like last time or not. Anyway, I guess that I should only judge him when I meet him, not just because he was an elf. Hey, he could turn out to be alright.
Snatching my leather jacket and car keys from off of the side, I swore that I heard the noise of a person huffing behind the door. Swingin the door open, I raised a brow at the guy who stood in front of me, wet-haired, book-heaving and stinking of citrus fruit.
"Alright? You want help with those?"
Leaning on the door frame, I gave him the quick once over. Black curls, olive skin, leather-wearing, I could honestly see why Robin liked him: she was what she described her perfect guy to be in her diary a few months ago... Not that I've read it.

[bookcrazI]

Molly:
I nodded and took the t-shirt from him and slipped it on, as I expected it went down to just above my knee. Perfect. I winked at him and then started my spell.
I was already a bit drained from the last spell but I knew I had just enough power to complete a simple one like this.
While I recited a slight incantation I felt the fabric mold to how I wanted it, the fabric from the sleeves weaved itself into a belt and the excess fabric traveled down so it adjusted the length.
When I was done I was wobbling a bit on my feet but I now had a cute and suitable dress to wear.
"Lilith never let me use that one... Breakfast... I'd kill for some scrambled eggs... It's been forever since I last had any.." I murmured. a bit quieter than usual due to lack of energy from the spell.
I held my fist to my mouth, trying to hold back whatever was left in my stomach at the memories of the meals with Lilith.
Ants.
Lizards.
Various parts from various animals.
Sometimes, when I was on a mission or something, I'd have enough time to stop by a fast food place or a grocery store. I usually ate something normal, a real meal, about once a week.
I shook the gross out of my mind and focused on turning my complexion back to it's normal color, one that wasn't green.

Johnny:
