Bobby near groaned at the exchange. However, he noted how Ezria didn't bat her eyes at Arik. He came in close and spoke and she chuckled. "Obviously, you've grown soft." Her voice was edged, a smirk playing full on her lips. "Or have you forgotten what I'm capable of?"

He moved away and Bobby couldn't help his reaction. "Balls." He looked to his phone. He would call Mika this time, and hope her head would remain cool enough to tell Dean and then the others. However, when the question was asked, Ezria's face fell flat.

"You know, Arik, I've changed, but I'll get to what I want later, we don't have much time to-"

She was cut off by Castiel, and when he referred to them as dogs, her blood ran hot. However, Arik's words.brought her some relief. She laughed at Castiel's flustered retort.

"My, My, sweet angel boy." She moved forward, gathering the book from Bobby and he.looked to her.

"There's a spell. It warrants protection from death, even in childbirth, no matter how strenuous. But it's complicated, and the witchcraft is old." Bobby said.

"I didn't sell my soul for nothing." Ezria commented.off hand. "Don't get your feathers ruffled, sweet angel boy. Being around dogs must have you itching."

Bobby left the room, and called Mika. The faster the angel and demons were out.of.his hair, the better. "Mika. I've been given se information on a spell that may be able to protect Annabeth from death, however, there.is.a.catch."

He quickly explained. And he walked back into the room after he was off the phone. "Where do we start?"

I Must Confess-I Feel Like A Monster

I'm sorry, I just haven't quite finished up an opening, if you would like to go ahead. I have been working a lot and introduction posts always take me a while.

You Make Me Feel

Ricki wasn't able to greet Carl or Tyler when they arrived, simply because Darren was taking forever with the pictures. She looked up to Gabe in their, hopefully last photo and whispered. "Remind me to never have Darren do this again." She said, and soon Darren smiled, a bit satisfied with himself, but just as Ricki was getting ready to take over, her mother slid the camera from Darren's hands.

"Now, Now, I want a picture of you three together." She said as Andy stood beside Ricki. There was an apparent height difference in the siblings, even with three extra inches.from her heels, Ricki was still visibly shorter. Her brothers both towered over six feet and she stood a mere 5'5".

After her.mom snapped a couple of photos of her kids, Ricki managed to wrangle.her camera away from her and smiled to Tyler and Krista. "Come on, you two first." She said, and Andy came and stood beside her, chatting as she snapped the photos and gave a few directions to them for poses.

"So... dad has been chatting up Landry." Andy began, and Ricki shrugged. "And he apparently likes the kid."

"Well, you and Darren talked him up enough." She said, snapping another photo. "All he got from me is he is awesome on ice, he's nice, and he is photogenic. I mean, come on, have you seen the.pictures I've gotten from the games."

A couple more photos and soon Maureen and Carl Were getting ready for pictures. "I'm just saying, Rick."

"You never just say." Ricki said, starting up more photos. "Besides, he's with Heather, and I've got Gabe."

Krista soon walked over, almost as soon as Ricki finished up photos for Maureen and Carl. "Heather is chatting up mom." She said.

"Well, mom does enjoy talking. I have to steal them away, their turn." She said, and she approached, them with a smile. "Mom, mind if I steal your conversation? After I finish up their pictures and group ones we're done."

Her mother just smiled. "Go ahead, baby."

Ricki then looked to Jared and Heather. "Alrighty, let's get this started."

Once she.took her place again and they were posing she could hear Andy over her shoulder. "Don't mind Ricki, she's a perfectionist!"

Ricki took the extra second and slapped his arm before snapping some photos before Heather's hand slipped to Jared's chest. She snapped one like that. "Alright, ya'll are done. Boys get in together."

It wasn't.much longer before the pictures were done and everyone was heading to their.vehicles when Darren stopped Ricki.

"What's up?" She asked, seeing he stopped her behind everyone else.

"Call me if you need me." He told her. She gave him a look.

"You don't trust Gabe?" She asked.

"Its not that. Krista has filled me in. As much as I don't want to say it, I'm worried about Livingston, and possibly, maybe Heather. You girls are underhanded, guys just throw.punches." he said and she nodded.

"Is that why you sent Andy away for a while?" She asked and he nodded. "I'll call you."

He soon hugged her and she got into Gabe's car with him. "Damn boy, you're a little too neat."

Gabe gave a.look. "What's that mean?" He asked.

"Its not bad, but you make me feel like a slob." She chuckled. "My car doesn't look like it just came off the lot."

He gave a chuckle too, and soon she reached over and grabbed hold of his hand. It wasn't a particularly long drive, but it wasn't as short as the one to school. Once they were there, and parked, Gabe ran around and.opened it for her and she took his arm.

He pulled their tickets out of his pocket and looked to the small line to get in. Just so happened they were right behind. Krista and Tyler, and to say the height difference wasn't noticeable was.a lie. She was an inch shorter than Ricki, and Tyler stood 6'6". The tallest in the senior class. Gabe stifled a chuckle.

"You want to talk about the odd couple?" He joked and Ricki shook her head. Her heels made her taller, but Krista's weren't nearly as dramatic.

Soon Ricki turned and saw David's BMW pull up. Well, his dad's anyway, and Ricki brought herself closer to Gabe, but like a prayer someone came in behind them. Jared and Heather.

Of course, Jared's car had been.blocked in since he had been the first there, and Ricki never felt so relieved. The line began.moving and she managed to get Krista's shoulder and whisper. "Looks like Emily Godwin got her wish."

David was walking with their junior friends.under his arm. Ricki was glad when they were finally.in the ballroom after handing in their tickets.

A fast song was already playing and a few people out on the dance floor. Ricki felt Krista grab her.hand. "You get her all night, Gabe, so I'm stealing her now." She said, and Once Maureen appeared, Ricki latched.onto her.

"Will return in same condition!" She called to Carl as the three got in their own little dance circle and began dancing.

That works better, shall change it!

You Make Me Feel

Daniel "Colt" Trenton didn't always have the easy life his wife had. He was brought up by a police officer father who taught him how.to shoot and defend himself, and a.mother who was very smart, but also very sick, having.died from cancer when he was about 15. From then He decided he wanted to do something with his life so he wouldn't always live in constant worry that he could have done better. But his.life changed when he met Emily, his now wife, at UCLA.

Initially he was going to go to school to become a doctor.but changed to a business major to see more of Emily. She came from a rich family that owned and operated one of the most successful investment banks in the state.

After her father died, shortly after Daniel and Emily were married, Emily was given the bank and since taking over, they have expanded.

You Make Me Feel

I should be able.to have you something here shortly, I've been trying to figure.it out a bit better in my own head.

Supernatural - The Dark

Bobby had just barely heard Dean's warning when Arik appeared. Bobby saw Ezria open the book and turn it towards him. "There may be a spell we can use, but I've got to read more on it. I'll call you back when I have more to tell."

Ezria's eyes soon fell on Arik, her face equally expressionless until she gave a half chuckle. "Its been a while, and you know, honestly, I'm a bit hurt. You don't write, you don't call, and when you knew a ball fell into my court I had to find out by following this mortal."

Ezria motioned to Bobby. "I mean sure, getting hold of the tome was a bit bloodier than I may have liked, but hey, witchcraft was always my forte."

Bobby looked between the two for a moment. "This spell. Where would we get half of the necessary ingredients?"

Ezria gave a slick grin. "I could help there, but I'm not stupid like others I have to, unfortunately, share a species with. But, that's only if you ask and I get something in return."

Bobby groaned. He looked to Arik, showing him the spell. "How difficult would these be to come by regularly?"

A valid question, and Ezria just smirked. If she had learned one thing, having the Winchesters in the pocket was a good thing.

Supernatural - The Dark

I like that idea. It could prove extremely.interesting. I'll have a post soon.

You Make Me Feel

Lunch was different, but a good sort of different. Ricki found herself sitting with Maureen and Krista at their normal table, and though it didn't stop the glares from the cheerleader table, she paid it no mind. Maureen smiled a bit. "So, I set up our nail appointments." Maureen beamed, and Krista smiled.

"And I have different options for hairstyles for each of us." Krista said, opening an album on her phone as they looked to Ricki who nodded.

"Andy and Darren are cleaning up the yard for pictures, and the boutineers are in my freezer." She said, and they nodded. "So, we're pretty well set. My mom said she'd help is with our hair and stuff."

Krista smiled a bit and looked over to the hockey table. "So, are you going to give Gabe a chance?" She asked, and she gave a nod. Maureen seemed more than pleased which caused Ricki to sigh.

"A chance. You know it's hard for me after the last time." Ricki said, and Krista nodded. "But, anyway, so I have another, kinda small thing."

"What?" Krista asked.

"I invited Jared and Heather for pictures." She said, and her friends looked at her. "So play nice, please? I did it simply since we're likely going to be seeing more of her. Especially since She and Jared are a thing and Maureen here is dating his best friend."

Maureen and Krista both fixed her with looks. "Babe, we know you're trying to be the bigger person, but are you sure about this?" Krista asked.

Maureen nodded. "You are definitely in the running for a saint."

Ricki looked at them. "Friends close, enemies closer. Since she can't get over the thing with David, I guess we'll always be at ends." She pointed out and they nodded.

"So true." Krista said, turning slightly to see the hockey team sitting together. "Now isn't that a sight for sore eyes, the hockey team is sitting together."

Ricki shrugged. "Well, I guess hell is freezing over because I'm in the cafeteria for once too."

They all laughed and Krista nodded. "Anyway, let's talk hair. Maureen, you have to wear yours up, it looks great that way."

Wednesday came, after dinner over at Gabe's, Ricki felt a little better about going with Gabe, and after school She was at the art club meeting. She had to go to the photography lab and on her way back, She passed the A/V lab. She chuckled a bit at the site inside, but she headed down to the art room, but Dancy was looking for her. "Ricki!" He called, and she rose a brow.

"Here are the pictures I have of the backdrops, and the ones we need to finish the props." She said, and he nodded.

"Good, Good, hey I wanted to ask a favor." He said, and Ricki nodded as they walked towards the art room.

"What are you talking about?" She asked.

"Well, you know how for home games in football season we had that banner for them? With hockey getting as big as it is, do you think you can paint a banner up before the next home game?" He asked. "Kind of like our contribution."

Dancy, though the art teacher, was big into sports, so it didn't come as a surprise.to her. "I can try." She said, and he nodded, "Can I have class time to work on it."

"Sure." He said.

Once Thursday came around, Ricki was almost certain Heather wasn't going for the whole photo thing, but as she headed to English, Heather found her. "Hey, Ricki." She greeted and Ricki nodded. "So, does around 6 sound good?"

Ricki nodded. "Yeah, see you guys then." She said, but before she could walk off She stopped. "Oh, and I'll have some prints for you Monday, so if you wanted some edited I can get them to you."

Heather nodded, and Ricki entered the English room and Gabe slid into the seat next.to her. "Hey." He said, and she smiled.

"Hey. So, 5:45? I want to get through the corsage thing before everyone else gets there. You know? Since Darren will be taking the pictures for us." She said, and he.nodded.

"Alrighty, I'll be there." He said, and Ricki nodded a bit and she pulled out her phone and Texted Krista.

So, Voss is coming. Remember play nice.

She got back a short response, and Ricki Sat through the entire day, glad once school was out She was glad to get to the nail appointments. Maureen and Krista relaxed with her.

"So, are you ready for tomorrow?" Krista asked and Ricki nodded.

"Are you?" She asked.and.Maureen smiled.

"You know she is, She got her wax on yesterday." Maureen said and Krista blushed.

"Hey, this is Tyler Rockett were talking about. I have to bring my A game. What about you, Ricki?" She asked.

"Well, we'll just have to see where things go." She said, and Maureen smiled.

"So, where's the.after party?" She asked and Krista smiled.

"Well, I know my house isn't as big as Ricki or Gabe's, but my parents are heading up state with Paul to look at colleges, so the house is.all ours." Krista said.

"Fuck yeah!" Maureen smiled.

"Well, everything is settled then." Ricki said. "Now let's just hope my dad behaves."

--

Friday after school was crazy. Ricki got home and immediately hopped.in a.bath, shaving her legs and other essentials, and the second she got out of the bath, Krista, Maureen, and her mother Were running around like.mad.women. Ricki, sitting in her silk robe, messed with her camera while her mother curled her hair and Krista managed to get Maureen's hair done.

"I am glad you were blessed with my hair." Her.mother said, and Once Ricki was satisfied with her camera, she began applying her.make.up. After a blur of Dresses getting pulled on, make up being perfected, and jewelry being clasped on, it was nearing time for everyone to get there. Ricki slipped into her black pumps and headed down stairs, her camera in one hand and her clutch in the other. She had heard vehicle pull into the driveway, and she looked to the clock. 5:43.

She checked herself over in the mirror. She thought she looked alright, and she headed out front and saw Heather and Jared there. She went to head back in, but Darren followed her out. "So, when's Gabe getting here?" He asked, and she looked to the watch on his wrist.

"Anytime now." She said, and Darren threw his arm over her.

"Well then, let's go greet your guests." He said, and.Darren took the camera from her and took a picture of their dad and Jared under the hood of his car.

"Hi." Ricki said, and when Heather looked at her she gave a smile. "We're doing pictures around back when you guys are ready to head that way." She said, and Gabe pulled up not long after. Ricki smiled a bit, a more relaxed smile than the one she had given Heather.

"Finally!" Darren exclaimed when Gabe Got out and had a small plastic case in his hand. "Come on you two."

Ricki waited for Gabe and she walked with him. "Looking sharp." She complimented, and Gabe gave a grin.

"This is definitely your color." He said, and Once they headed around back and got their pictures done, Ricki looked up into Gabe's eyes. The corsage was not what she.expected. A daffodil with a perfectly toned rose. She pinned on his boutineer and spoke.

"How'd you know about the.daffodil?" She asked.

"Krista." He answered, and soon everyone was coming into the backyard and Ricki took her camera and Gabe walked with her to where Darren had been standing.

"Alright. I'm starting with couples and then we'll do group photos." She.told them as she began her work.
