Back in the boy's dorm, Achilles opened his dorm room door and stepped aside as Patroclus set foot inside. Achilles then followed him, closing the door behind himself. He rested back against the door and smiled as he watched as his man looked around the room, and then locked eyes with him.
"I am sorry." Achilles said, the smile on his face beholden to his true feelings.
"Whatever for?" Pat said with a frown on his face as he picked up some kind of electric doohicky in his hands and played with it.
Achilles crossed over the room and shrugged. "I know you looked forward to this dance, and it just seems that nothing normal ever happens at any event this school holds."
"That is hardly your fault." Patroclus smirked, and then laughed. "It would appear to be just your unusually bad karma."
Achilles laughed himself and wrapped his arms around Pat, drawing him into an embrace, one he did not want to ever let go of. He knew their time together was swiftly drawing to a close, and Patroclus would have to be returned to his proper time in Troy where he was doomed to die. The mere thought was enough to make this fabled warrior remorseful, body and soul. He had only until the end of the holidays before, and when he would have to give answer to Hades' proposition.
Pat finally managed to separate himself from Achilles' hard embrace and looked up into his sky bue eyes.
"So... where shall we be going for this ... Christmas?"
Achilles sighed, looking around his room. "I think, unfortunately, we are here. Wally will be traveling home to his family, as will Cassandra I believe. I am unsure of Christopher's plans. They are those I am closest with, and if this holiday is as grand as they say, I would feel horrid to impose upon either."
"I do not see why." Pat smiled. "After all, we are incredibly wonderful people and lots of fun to be around."
Achilles got his much needed laugh and brought Patroclus back into the hug.

Jen came out of the Used Cars and Guns counting her cash.
"Thanks again, Mr Wilson."
"You know it's always a pleasure, but please don't come back here again....EVER! Although only if you wanna go grab a drink with me and show some more of that delicious green sk.."
Jen punched him. "No thanks, I'm a junior and what did we discuss about illegal activities."
"It's wrong...?" He looked more confused at this idea than understanding it.
"Yes, it WRONG!" Jen smiled and continued walking away. She looked back and saw him writing on his board...
[No deals for geeky teens with Glasses. Robot Birdmen. Green Giant babes. ]
Jen shrugged, she'd got her goal achieved, she now had to wait till tomorrow so she could buy herself a new cell phone. She jogged back to her dorm hoping that none of the Cuckoos were out on patrol. It was getting really late and she guessed she could do with some sleep. She wondered in a way how Karen had been at the dance. She had seen her looking happy but she knew it was hard to tell with Karen. Her mood changed so quickly, pretty much like herself.

" Well whatever way you swing I just want to happy. Have a great holiday. I'm going to check on Achilles and Pat."
Cassie hoped Achilles knew her mom was expecting him to come with her. Hell, her mother pretty much adopted Achilles like he was her own son. Cassie went over to Achilles dorm room and knocked on the door.
" Achilles... Are you here?"

The door swung open and Cassandra found herself greeted by an enthusiastic hug from Pat as he pulled her into the room.
"Cassandra! One could not ask for a lovelier gift from the gods for a sister!"
"You'll have to forgive him sister." Achilles smiled as he gripped a hand on pat's shoulder and steered him over to the bed and Pat plopped down, laying on his back. Achilles continued, "He always did get somewhat ... hyper, after a battle of any sort. This one just got him a little extra excited."
"As did seeing Mysia give you a bath in front of everyone." Pat laughed as he sat back up and leaned back with his elbows propped on the bed. He looked adoringly at Cassie and said, "Just when this pompous and yet achingly loving brother of yours thinks all goes his way, along comes our girl to trump him one."
Achilles made a mocking expression of laughter before turning to Cassie and smiled, "I was just thinking of ordering something for an after battle feast. Perhaps that Chinese food I liked so much ... though I do admit I was hungry again so fast. Will you be joining us before your venture to your mother's?"

Cassie smiled.
" Of course. Every time I talk to my mom she asks about you. Since I'm her only child and you are my brother she's kinda adopted you. "
Cassie stomach grumbled she actually hadn't eaten all day...
" Yeah food sounds good...I'm starved..."
Cassie pondered a bit should she ask Wally. Yeah sure the night didn't go the way she wanted but at least she didn't get eaten by some jedi's pet.
" Hey... is it okay with you guys if I invite Wally to join us?"

"So long as he's showered first," Achilles smiled. "Otherwise I may well be forced to have Mysia do it for him."
Achilles picked up the cell phone his sister gave him and started fishing through the saved numbers and Pat looked to Cassie with a raised eyebrow.
"Are you surprised that the only numbers he knows how to retrieve are the ones that get him food?"
Achilles looked up from the phone, "I heard that." And he started to dial as Pat looked over the small pamphlet for the Chinese food delivery.
Pat murmured, "Okay, this looks like it will be enough."
Achilles looked over, "No, that says served *from* 8 to 12."
"Oh." Patroclus said disappointedly.
Achilles said, "Perhaps I'll just order multiple portions of everything? That way we will all be satisfied. Feel free to invite Danielle and Christopher as well if you like, sister. A last hurrah before the holiday."

Cassie nodded and texted Wally, Dani, and Chris. Text read :
" Over at Achilles' room with him and Pat. Ordering out for Chinese. Feel free to drop by.."
Cassie was unsure about inviting Chris... Not so much she minded him... but that Jen girl... Damn she rubbed her the wrong way... There was something about her... something she didn't like. Cassie couldn't put her finger on what it was but the girl irratated her.

Cassie had barely hit 'send' and Wally was suddenly there. Chinese food? Might as well advertise free gold bricks!
Wally grinned at Cassie and hugged her, spinning her around.
"Wow, it feels like FOREVER since I've seen you! Christmas break is going to be torture."

*Chris, who had failed to find Billy or even Teddy(he bet they were in a closet going at each other like a pair of horny bunnies), had gone back to his room. Bored out of his gourd, he had gotten online to play Street Fighter 4 again and was back to taunting Twilekhottie1.*
YOU CAN'T STOP ME! YOU CAN ONLY HOPE TO CONTAIN ME! Oops..a text. Hold on.
*Chris read over Cassie's text. Chinese? YES!*
Gotta go, Twilekhottie1!
*Chris shot Jen off a text.*
Hey Jen,
Chinese food in Achilles's room at the boys dorm. Come hang with us. Miss ya.
Chris
*He hurried down the hall and banged on Achilles's door.*
FEE FIE FO KICKIN'...OPEN THE DOOR AND GIMME GENERAL TSO'S CHICKEN!

Cassie smiled at Wally.
" Listen, break or no break you STILL owe me a dance."
Yep! He wasn't getting outta that one. Besides even though they were both going to be busy with family stuff there was no reason that they couldn't see each other during break. After all Wally was a speedster and Cassie could fly. Cassie went over to her brother and Pat who were still trying to decide what to get. She then took a quick look at the menu...
" Hmm... two of everything should cover it."
Cassie was taking into the account how much she knew Achilles and Pat could eat, the fact that she had an amazonian appetite, and she remembered once Diana saying speedsters can eat a lot.

Cassie opened the door... it was Chris.
" Calm down the food hasn't even arrived yet"
Good, Jen wasn't with him. That girl... whatever... Cassie could take of it later.
" Come on in"

*Chris grinned.*
Hey, Cass! Thanks for the invite. Hope you don't mind but I texted Jen and told her to come by. She still doesn't know anyone and I kinda want everyone to get to know her.
*Chris moved past Cassie and flopped down on the floor.*
Heya, guys....Wally.
*Chris nodded at Wally. He lost a lot of his anger and jealousy of Wally in Billy's spell but he still wasn't square with the guy. The little speedster never did apologize. And trusting him again would take a while.*

"Ttwo of everything?" Achilles looked back at the menu in his sister's hands. "Are you not planning on eating then?"
"Better make it four, just in case." Pat added and Achilles nodded and with an assist from his sister, found the phone number and the food got ordered.
....
Many anxious and stomach growling minutes later...well not really, but when you're hungry minutes can seem like an eternity; the food was delivered!
Achilles' dorm room now more so resembled a Chinese banquet hall with open containers of absolutely everything the restaurant offered, 2 liters of Coke, and paper plates being passed around.
"Dig in!"

Cassie looks at Chris grinding her teeth a little.
" Of course I don't mind..."
Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Cassie wanted nothing to do with that girl. Whatever, Jen hadn't done anything... yet. If she crossed her Cassie would make sure Spring semester would be a living hell for her. But for now Cassie would just have to grin and bear it. Then the food arrived... Cassie who was starving dug into the food eating just as much as Achilles.
