Marry Birthday To You, Camrela!

[•Mouse•]

A young girl had finally reached the age of 15 and squeaked with delight as she spun around the wall of the fountain. Red and pink flecked eyes were hidden by her eye lids as she laughed and hummed a birthday song to herself. Yes, yes, everyone's favorite power-negator Carmela was now 15 years old and happy as ever. Her field of negation, sucking people of their powers into regularity, would move as she would dance around the fountrain with Monty in her arms.

Valerie had already wished the smaller girl a happy birthday on passing by and gave Carmela a twenty and birthday card with a pleasent smile before departing. So there was Carmela, Dancing around a fountain singing happy birthday to herself. Her long golden hair was pulled back in the pigtails as always as she wore the typical red and white dress. She was laughing and having fun. Something everyone should do on their birthday.

Maeve, in hot pants-skirt over that and her tight fitting shirt with the laces up the front, came strolling over with an eyebrow raised in question at Carmela. " What are you doing, squirt!?" Laughed the girl harshly pushing Carmela off course so that she fell on a bench. Carmela seemed unshakeble, her good mood being like super glue.

" Well." Began the girl as she took a deep breathe. " It's my fifteenth birthday!!" She said with great energy as she placed Monty the chinchilla on her lap and swayed side to side with happiness. Maeve a face of disgust and hide it quickly before half-heartedly clapping in a congratulatory(SP?) manor.

" Oh, whoop-dee-doo!" Came the sarcastic snicker of Maeve before sitting down and poking Monty's side rather roughly. Her finger was slapped away by Carmela, who sheilded the small animal with great care. " Have you seen Ven anywhere, by the way?" Asked MAeve more concerned where he boyfriend was than the girl to her left's birthday.

[Ven]

"How are my two favorite ladies?" Ven said grinning slightly as he walked toward the bench where the two whhere situated, his large pet snake Amare drapped across his shoulders, it's head held right next to his.

"Maeve looking good, as expected." He said, eyeing her somewhat suggestively.

"Carmela, happy birthday! And I got you a gift." He said, pulling out a small box which on the inside held another chinchilla, over which he knew she would get excited.
He took another couple of steps towards the two, holding out the box towards Carmela.

[•Mouse•]

Carmela was first to get to Ven, throwing her arms aroundhis waist before snatching the box away and sitting on the ground to open it. With wide eyes the small girl squealed and scooped the other Chinchilla up into her arms and hugged it to her Chest. A girl chinichilla and a boy now in her posession, Carmela smiled and thought of the possiblity of baby chinchillas. " Monty...Meet Sasha!" Carmela said holding the Chinchilla's to one another. She smiled as they seemed to squeak in conversation. Happy eyes turned to Ven as she smiled. " I'm so happy! Thank yoouuu!" She said rather energeticly laying down on her stomach to play with the chinchillas. Black...and white. How wonderful a combination.

Maeve didn't exactly say hello, but the kiss she planted on his lips would have to sufice as she smiled and wrapped both arms around his waist from the side. " Hello, my dear. How wonderful it is to see you. Delightful indeed." She said her mind already struggling to keep control of herself and keep from stripping him. Yes, yes. Maeve was already wanting to have fun with the young man, but would fight it off. " You're looking as tempting as ever." She said, eye running over his face for the millionth time in the last second. They would linger on his eyes for a moment before moving on to take everything in again, lingering a bit on his lips as well.

[Ven]

"Keep an eye on those two." Ven said breifly Carmela before all of his attention poured into Maeve.

"Now shall we keep an Eye on us two?" Ven asked her raising an eyebrow, and kissing her again. By now he would've had his scales out, however Carmela's feild was as of now preventing him from doing so.

While Maeve was close to him, Amare the snake around his shoulders, slithered around hers, putting half his weight on her, and half his weight on Ven, locking the two up.

"I missed you too."

[•Mouse•]

" I see that. And it seems Amare missed me as well." Maeve's attention turned for a brief second to Amare who received a loving caress from the cheek of the young woman as she ran it across his scales as a hello. Turning back to Ven she smiled almost as if she was suggesting something and shook her head. " Even if we were kept under survalience, you know it wouldn't stop me." She said softly in his ear as she wrapped her arms around his neck and dragged his face down for another kiss. Afterwards she licked her lips, and laughed softly. " Tasty." she said to herself before turning to see Carmela already talking to the Chinchilla's as if they were humans.

" Why should I watch them? I want baby chinchillas! So cuuute!" The little girl said as Monty and Sasha scurried about together infront of her. She giggled softly and bent her legs at the knees and swung them back and forth. " I if they have little baby chinchilla's, I wanna hold a wedding." Carmela said thoughtfully, still having the mentality of a small child when it came to some things. But, the idea of Sasha in a wedding dress and Monty in his white tux seemed simply adorable. Who wouldn't want to see that? Maeve was probably the only on e that would be disgusted by the idea. But, that was Maeve. She was interested mainly in one thing, which happened to be in her grasp at that moment.

[Ven]

A look of satisfaction crept over Ven's face. So far this had been a win-win-win situation. He was happy, maeve was happy, and Carmela was happy. However despite her love of animals he didn't know if baby chinchilla's would be the best thing for her, afterall carrying around newborn rodents tended to be a bad idea, consider how fragile they were.

"Why not wait and see how well you handle those two first before you go and make more." He said warrily to Carmela, almost sounding like a parent, which he quickly realized, becoming slightly embarassed, his emotions more human as he was within carmela range.

Ven drapped and arm Over maeve's shoulders were Amare wasn't covering her, poking the snake in the side sharply, as it was eyeing Sasha and Monty hungrily.

"I know that Maeve, one the reasons I like you so much."

[•Mouse•]

Maeve gave off a soft laugh as Ven took on that parental tone with Carmela. It was simply amusing was all, nothing wrong with it and she threw it aside almost as quickly as he did, looking to see the now 15-year old Carmela picking the two chinchilla's up and sitting on the bench with them, began to talk and tell stories to them. " She's off her rocker, I swear." Sighs the older of the girls, shaking her head before turning to Ven and giving a shrug.

" When Dorian is fully enrolled, if he ever gets his lazy butt moving, you and Monty will have someone to else to play with Sasha! Dorian is a nice person, he may look big and mean, but I've known him since forever ago and he's very caring. A biiiig teddy bear!" Carmela nodded her head as she spoke of her childhood friend Dorian, a young man enrolling in Cassis in several months possibly sooner depending on the circumstances. Carmela was the only one that knew Dorian in person, and could spoke easily about what would happen, for she knew him better than he knew himself.

[Ven]

"Yeah but she still worthwhile." He whispered back to Maeve, as Carmela began speaking to her two small rodents.

"Who's dorian?" Ven asked rather coolly, his voice at least bouncing down parent to big brother, his tone holding a somewhat less authoritative melody.

"And Maeve." he said catching her attention speaking only out of the corner of his mouth.

"Please just play nice, remember if you do I can make a queen."

[•Mouse•]

" I'm behaving, aren't I? I haven't performed any form of sexual harrassment towards you, sadly, and I haven't brutally beaten the kid to a pulp. I'm behaving!" Maeve took a stance that suggested she was upset he would accuse her of misbehaving in anyway. It wasn't the fact she would be a Queen exactly. But tha fact that she, in all truths, was just playing around with Ven a little and joking. With arms firmly crossed over her chest she looked away, still acting upset with him.

Meanwhile, Carmela had turned her red and magenta flecked eyes to Ven when questioning her about Dorian. " Dorian is a childhood friend of mine. He kind of works for my Grandparents and was told to come to Cassis for schooling. He's a good kid, I miss him. I used to have to travel hours to see my good friend, But soon it will be mere moments. Exciting huh?" She said rather enthusiastically as she and the chinchilla's sat happily on the bench.

[Ven]

"Look miss." He said, breifly kissing Maeve.

"Just please, be nice for a little bit. I can garuntee that if she just likes us and plays allong that we can sit on throwns over all other gifteds." He finished adding in one last comment.

"besides I think you'd look great in the crown and gown." He then continued to turn his attention back to Carmela.

"Well i'd love to meet him, he sounds great." He told her trying to sound nice.

[•Mouse•]

" You are not helping my ego. It just keeps getting larger because of you." Sighs Maeve as she smiled and nodded her head. " Fine, I'll behave for a little longer. Okay?" She asked softly before laughing a bit.

" Meet Dorian?" Carmela stopped and thought, tapping her chin. Then with a smile she nodded her head. " Maybe you will. He coms to visit and brings me to the stores and stuff all the time! So...maybe you'll be there when he comes to get me the next time. Kay?!" There was a smile on her face as she went back to playing with the chinchilla's.

" Shopping...Hm. Got to go and visit my tailor sometime. See if she's got my new outfit prepared. She called me the other day saying she had some wonderful idea." Maeve muttered pondering silently to herself.

[Ven]

"Sounds Magnificent." Ven said speaking to both of them at the same time. Not entirely knowing how to respond to either of them

"Now the Carmela you keep those two healthy" He said for the last time.

"Amare.." He said pointing his thumb backwards for the snake to follow. It's coils fell from Maeve as it slithered away. Ven quickly replaced him with his arm, bringing Maeve just outside of carmela's range of influence, quickly changeing himself into a snake in size just about equal to Amare, drapping himself around Maeve in much the same fashion Amare had, his head right next to hers.

[•Mouse•]

" Comfortable?" Ask Maeve as she gently gave his serpentine head a pat with a long nail. She smiled softly and sat herself on a bench just outside that range around Carmela which was void of powers. Humming softly the young woman continued to give Ven's snake form her attention with that hand carressing his scales which drapped about her like a shawl or something.

" I will!" Carmela called as she sat herself before the same bench and began to play more with the chinchilla's. Sasha and Monty got along famously, and this made Carmela smile with glee as she watched the two creatures run about and play with on another. " I am so glad Monty has a fried now." Sighed the girl dreamily.
