"So here's the plan you will make dinner. Dexter and I will serve like it's the restaurant you two went to when you two were little, then we will have a sleepover with junk food and his favourite movies. Most importantly, Dexter will get him to come to the dinner in the first place so you can apologize, and the dinner can start. In the meantime, while you cook, I will prepare your room for a sleepover with Dexter. Everyone onboard?" Kellian explained her plan to Dexter and Ryder.
"Yes," Dexter replied.
"What about the new guys?" Ryder asked.
"They can do whatever. Wait... Is Leo still giving them a tour?" Kellian asked.
"Probably, he hasn't come outside yet."
"How many rooms does this mansion have?" Kellian asked jokingly.
"Between forty and sixty," Ryder replied.
Kellian stared at him dumbfounded, then pretended she didn't hear him, "Anyway, Let's get started. Now Ryder, go and cook. Dexter and I will start decorating." Kellian stated.
~Two Hour Later~
"Dexter, why are you taking me to the dining room?" Leo asked, confused.
"You'll see..." Dexter replied.
"Woah. Why is it so dark?" Leo asked, probably fumbling in the dark to find the light switch.
The light turned on. Ryder was standing in front of Leo.
"Leo..."
Leo turned to leave.
"Wait, hear me out." Ryder pleaded.
He stopped, turned around, then said, "Five minutes."
"Thank you. I was never really too good at apologizing, yet, here I am, willing to drop every single inch of my ego to get you to forgive me. I appreciate our friendship way too much to let you go like that... Will you... forgive me?"
"Sigh. You're a real jerk sometimes... but if you still see me as a friend, I'd be glad to forgive you." Leo said, tearing up.
Ryder was surprised. He hesitated, then started smiling and rubbing his nose to hide the smile with his hands. "You dumb crybaby, why are you making this so emotional?" Ryder asked.
Leo ran up to Ryder and hugged him, "I can't believe you actually apologized first."
"Yeah yeah. Enough of this mushy mushy crap." Ryder said, pushing him off. "I'm amazing, I know, but you'll have me for a long time. No need to use up all your hug privileges."
"Wait... Kellian was behind this, wasn't she?" Leo saw right through him.
"It was Bluberry's plan, yes, but I... asked her for help. The apology was also my words. How'd you freaking know Blueberry planned anyways?" Ryder asked, confused.
"You're censoring yourself. You don't do that unless Kellian is around or you've seen her recently. And of course, she didn't write the apology it would have been way better if she did. She's actually very good at writing and explaining. She helps me a lot in English class." Leo explained.
"Enough about her. Let's sit down."
"What about everyone else?" Leo asked.
"They already ate," Ryder replied.
"Oh... So it's only us?"
"Yes."
"Your meals," Kellian said with a curtsy. She was wearing a maid outfit she convinced Liam to get her.
Noticing the two staring at her, she immediately got embarrassed and apologized, "Umm... sorry, that was probably super weird. Haha. This was a dumb idea."
"You're right, Blueberry. That was dumb. Really dumb." Ryder teased.
Kellian pouted angrily.
Ryder saw his chance and decided to take revenge for their conversation earlier. "But it's also cute. Really~ cute."
Leo nodded in agreement.
She blushed slightly, "Just eat your food and stop teasing me!" Kellian said, then ran off.
"Anyway. I cooked this, so you better be grateful." Ryder said sarcastically.
"You are a better cook than me, so of course, I'm grateful," Leo replied.
"Y-you weren't supposed to say that!" Ryder said, getting flustered.
"What did you want me to say?" Leo asked.
"Nevermind." Ryder pouted.
They ate dinner then the sleepover began.
They watched The Parent Trap, Angry Birds, Mall Cop and every Toy Story movie out at the time. Leo cried during The Parent Trap, and Kellian comforted him. Leo cried multiple times throughout the Toy Story movies, and Ryder comforted him.
They ate Salted Caramel Popcorn Bars with Marshmallow and some with Chocolate, Buttered Popcorn, Savoury Mozzarella Garlic Rolls, Chocolate Ice-cream, Kit Kats, Snickers, Vanilla Icecream, Maple Chili Nuts and Chex Snack Mix, Peanut Butter, Nutella Candy Bar, Brownies, Cakes, Nachos and Puff Pastry Cheese Straws.
Actually, Kellian and Leo were the only ones that had chocolate since werewolves are allergic to chocolate.
After the movies were all finished, they discussed the movies, while eating leftover snacks. Ryder decided to tease Leo, and Leo proceeded to get embarrassed he cried that much in front of everyone.
They spent hours talking and bonding and didn't fall asleep until 5 am that morning.
They all enjoyed the events of the night and had fun.
They woke up at 1 pm that afternoon.
After allowing everyone to eat, Tyler ordered a maid to go shopping with Kellian. Since the maid was paid a lot of money and given no spending budget, she ensured that they spent 2 hours shopping, getting only the best of the best.
Kellian got more new clothes than she could ever need that day. I mean, they bought out multiple stores.
Meanwhile, Ryder and Leo had an important conversation.
"I apologize for getting angry at you. I shouldn't have done that. I realize now that you might have your reasons, and I... want to give you a chance to explain them."
"Now?"
"It doesn't matter."
"I will if you tell about why your eyes were glowing."
Ryder was surprised. And in his state of shock, he realized something. He was getting mad at Leo when he, himself, was hiding his true strength.
"It's a curse, and I can't control its power. If you were a werewolf or human, I could have possibly killed you at that moment. Simply because I lost control of my emotions and my eyes turned red."
"Mine is demonic power. But because I never trained it within this body, I could easily lose control and kill everyone around me if I don't use the power correctly."
'He's the same as me. I should have waited for his explanation." Ryder felt guilty. "Wait, what do you mean this body?"
"Umm... How do I explain? Let's say I remember my past life. I don't like talking about it, though."
"That's fine. We can continue this conversation when we're both more comfortable." The two boys nodded in agreement.
When Kellian returned, she was exhausted. However, she still had a meeting with everyone. To explain what the next plan of action was with Tyson.
"Saying, Katana guy, Hybrid twins and Justin in one sentence is far too complicated. I'm gonna call y'all Shinning."
"Why Shinning?" Kellian tilted her head.
"Cause they're shinny."
"I see. Anyway, we will be heading to the Fairy Kingdom first since Ryder has connections. But everyone can't go so, Dayn, Cael..." Kellian paused and stared at Tyson, who gave her puppy dog eyes. She sighed then continued, "The Shining will be going to the Centaur Kingdom to see if you can locate a relic. Ty will describe what they look like to you."
Tyson smiled happily due to Kellian's new choice of words.
"Alright," Justin replied.
"As for the rest of us, we will be visiting the Fairy Kingdom and searching there. I know what the relic looks like, but Ty can also explain it to you since he will be coming with us."
"Addressing everyone again, we might spend a couple of days, maybe even weeks out there, so make sure to pack everything you need or at least money so you can buy what you need. We'll leave tomorrow. Surprisingly, Dexter offered to be in charge of communication, so make sure everyone has his number. If we can not find anything in two weeks, we'll return to base camp, aka Ryder's house. Mr. Rhodes already gave me permission." Kellian Explained.
"Seriously, whose father is he?" Ryder complained under his breath but laughed.
"For now, enjoy yourself and do what you want." Kellian dismissed the meeting.
