Achilles, however, did not leave the room and the girls in peace with their... whatever a Snu Snu happened to be. In fact, Achilles took a further step inside and said, "I am go with the assumption that too little manners and too much facial paint is a common trait amongst the females of this age, or is that just you?"
He held up a hand and smiled, "No, forgive me. Perhaps you simply misunderstood, so let me rephrase the question."
He looked past the two girls and to Wally.
"Wally, would you mind at all if I were to pull you away from these two... (ahem) ladies and have a word between us?"

William Billy Kaplan
"No thanks Teddy Bear. Kate and Cassie Lang are dragging me out tonight. Neither of them have plans for the evening since Eli has to work, so we figured we'd make a night out of it."
He frowned and looked up.
"Or they figured we would."
He looked back down into the Book of Shadows and started writing again.
"Girls."And that was it. That was all he got. A simple dismissal, as if they were the best of pals and nothing had ever gone wrong between them. As if Billy didn't even care at all. It was frustrating, and he couldn't believe that after being dumped at a wedding, Billy didn't have a thing to say to him. No Why? ...no What went wrong?. Nothing. His hands tightened into fists and released, his fingers flexing. "That's all you have to say to me? That's it?" His voice was trembling slightly, and he ran his tongue over his lower lip, hesitating for just a brief second before all the words tumbled out. "I dumped you...at a wedding. I dumped you at a damn wedding without an explanation, or a reason. I left you by the punch bowl without a word. And you haven't said s**t to me since about it.
"You didn't ask why, you didn't ask what went wrong. There was no attempt to salvage anything. Not that I expected it. That's the problem. You didn't care about me. You didn't care about our relationship. You cared about having someone to make out with or to look good with. And you can sit there and tell me you love me with your big doe eyes and expect me to believe it, but I can't.
"You paid more attention to that football player and his crusty ancient husband than you did to me. You hung out with your magic friends way more often than you did with me. I was the third wheel in your relationship with everyone else.
"And now, on Valentine's Day of all days, you still can't even feign that you ever cared. All you ever do is dramatically make sad eyes over your shoulder and write in your Buffy the Vampire Slayer diary about whatever the heck you're writing.
"I guess I should have figured you wouldn't start giving a s**t about me now. I don't know why I ever expected anything from you considering it's all I ever got. And that's just the tip of the iceberg about why everything fell apart." Without bothering to look at Billy again, he grabbed his coat, leaving the room in a rush because he could start feeling himself go green again.

Linda West Linda looked over at the sleeping Karen and began shaking her. "Karen get up! We gotta get you your groove back!" Karen slept like the dea, she could sleep through a crash and pretty much did on her venture down to earth when she first arrived. "Huh?" She snorted awake, sitting upright in her bed eye's half open, pj's disheveled, and her hair a big fluffy mess. "Wha-? What's going on? Another invasion?" Karen rubber her eyes and blink herself awake. Then her eyes grew in shock! "Is that Anakin?!" eek Karen through the sheets back over her hair in hopes of hiding. "AK! What's he doing here? I look just awefull! There seriously better be an invasion!" She hissed. Then she ran to the bathroom with the sheet still over her head, She smacking into a wall. "Ow! I'm ok!" She managed to find her way into the bathroom to change into something more appropriate, and to freshen up. Despite not having super speed she appeared back out very fast even by human standards, smiling and looking fresh as a daisy. "Hi Anakin!" heart "I'm ready."

Anakin blinked a moment and then smiled.
"You look beautiful Karen... I was just telling your roommate that we found a way to get your powers back. We just gotta get the ray gun that shot you in the first place. Another blast should restore your powers since the gun was only suppose to cause a temporary loss in powers. But we have no idea what happened to the gun."
Linda was still grinding her teeth a little.
" I do! Those skanks Kori and Aspen must still have it. Their the ones that shot you and Wally in first place! We gotta get it from them!"
Linda brought a large machine gun she kept under her bed.
"B****es gonna pay!"

Karen Hugged Anakin. "You so sweet!" Then gave him a quick peck on the cheek.
Karen's face titched to that of shock O_O when she saw that Linda had emerged form under her bed.
"UH... Linda... Don't you think that's a little too much? Don't you have something a little oh I don't know... Smaller... That you could hide?"
She then found herself wondering why sh e never noticed that before and where she could get one...
She left Anakin's side for a moment to look under her bed. Nothing... Drat.
"Ok so anyone know where these girls are?"

Linda was clung tight to the machine gun.
" If anything it's not big enough"
Karen asked where they were and Linda's eyes narrowed.
"In the newspaper room all over my... I mean all over Wally"
That was close Linda almost said 'my Wally'. But her and Wally weren't an item of course if they were it might stop some of the bad rumors going around. No one thought anything of two people who were going out steady spending the night together... No bad idea .. Linda already had feelings for West as it was. If Wally got his powers back then things could be like they were before and Wally would completely ignore her... Then perhaps these... 'feelings' she had could fade.

Karen shrugged with Anakin and held his hand as Linda lead the way to the News Paper room. And low and behold Linda was right. There was Wally being force fed by Kori and Aspen. On the bright side Achilles was there!
"Achiles! We are so glad to see you. It's been too long."
She stepped in front of Linda and slowly pushed the massive weapon down trying her best to hide it form their eyes.
"We really need to talk to Aspen and Kori..."
She smiled, she'll try the nice way first, but there was hidden anger thought her pleasant attitude. That in it self should have signaled to the gilrs that Karen was not herself. And that should also have scared them. A lot.

Kori gave Karen a dirty look.
"Go away! Can't you see we're giving Wally-KINS his special Valentine's Day breakfast?!"
Linda's eyes narrowed... She was clearly already ticked. She spoke in a a calm but slightly bitter tone.
" We just want the ray gun you shot Karen and Wally with. Then we'll leave you and Wally-kins alone..."
Kori then took out the ray gun from her backpack.
"You mean this lil old thing?Fat chance normie! You really don't think that you can beat us with a machine gun.Do you? Achilles may be really strong but newsflash so am I !.... and I can fly and shoot starbolts! And a Jedi ... Oh please go play with Jar-Jar or something! You guys are totally out classed! Now BUZZ OFF!!! Can't you see we're going to spend all day with Wally-KINS here!"
Linda's grinded her teeth.
"You... stuck up snobs! Now.... you've really p****d me off!"
In an angry rage Linda took out her machine gun and started shooting at Aspen. Aspen then was about to shoot Linda with water only to have Anakin step in and move her outta the way. Anakin looked at the Aspen.
"You could've tried disarming her instead of attacking a civilian."
" She started it!"
Anakin's eyes narrowed.
" No you started it! The moment you two stole Karen and Wally's powers for your own selfish purposes. You say you're just trying to be nice to Wally but not once have you let him speak for himself."

And just as Teddy had made his big exit from their dorm room, Billy appeared right in front of him in a flash of blue light. Billy did not look like Billy, the normally bright faced and happy teen. This Billy didn't look hurt or dismayed at Teddy's verbal tongue lashing. No, this Billy looked angry.
He snatched Teddy by the wrist.
"Come with me!"
And before Teddy could protest or say anything, he vanished alongside Billy in that same blue swirl of lights, only to reappear in the bell tower of Hero High, the highest point in the school.
"You don't think I care? You don't think you breaking up with me at a wedding reception affected me? AT ALL!? You don't think today actually means anything to me!? Here!"
Billy grabbed two boxes, one very small, the other a blue and white box from the Build-A-Bear store and shoved them into Teddy's arms with enough surprising force that it sent him back a couple of steps.
"There!" Billy shouted. "Happy Freaking Valentine's Day! For your information, I had those bought over a month ago and hidden, hoping I'd be able to surprise you and make some sense of what the hell happened! But you just really opened my eyes! Everything, as usual, was ALL MY FAULT!"
Billy turned to stomp away, but turned right back around and walked right up to Teddy, his eyes glistening but his face still telling "Teddy Bear" just how mad he was.
"Did I make mistakes between us? Yes! But at least *I* can admit it! You can't! You just throw all the blame at me! We spent a lot of time together at first, and did i slow things down? Yeah, I did. Because I thought I was smothering you Teddy! Everywhere you went, I tried to tag along! Everything you wanted to do, so did I! I never had a boyfriend before! I didn't know what to do or how to act! I just knew I wanted to be with you! I still do but god knows why since all I ever did was put up with abuse from your friends because I apparently wasn't good enough for you! Ever since what was supposed to be our first date, Hartley and Wallace did everything -- EVERYTHING -- they could to try and ruin any chance I had with you, or make fun of me, or just ruin an evening we had together! Then, I actually thought Wallace and I were starting to become friends and right out of left field, the insults and demoralizing just started all over again!"
Billy held up two fingers.
"Two times! Twice I saved Hartley's butt and what happens? Oh the first time Wallace said he owed me or thanked me! What happened right after that? He immediately starts treating me shabby like nothing ever happened! The insults, the nasty treatment, and you never once spoke up for me or asked Wallace and Hartley to ease up or lay off! You asked me to be nice to them or ignore it, but that never stopped them! MOST boyfriends would have defended their boyfriend over somebody treating them so horribly, especially when that somebody was a friend, but not you! You let them treat me like a dog and I was expected to just sit there and take it! If I reacted, then somehow you three would blame me and I'd become the bad guy! I had no way out and nowhere to turn to! I was being flat out BULLIED by my friend's two best friends and my boyfriend himself was condoning it! You could defend me against the football team and anyone else who saw fit to use me for target practice but when it came to Wallace and Hartley you just ignored whatever they did or said!"
Billy started breathing hard.
"How do you think that made me feel, Teddy? That's why I spent so much time with the Magic Club! because at least with them I knew something of what was expected of me or how to act. I was so afraid of doing or saying the wrong thing around you, I couldn't even defend myself against a couple of drunk and over sexed jackasses! How hard do you think it was to go to your dorm room, wanting to hang out, knowing that if Wallace answered the door i'd be up for yet another round of Billy Bashing!? And if you're talking about Achilles and Patroclus, I don't know what you're getting at because I never once hung out with them! You accuse me of not doing anything to tell you how I felt but all I did was let you know how I felt! I brought you as my date at the Magic Club's Samhain festival because I wanted them all to meet you! Because all I ever did was talk about you! I wanted you to spend the holidays with me so I invited you! I wanted to share that wedding with you because some stupid school boy fantasy played the same scenario with us in my head!"
Billy nodded.
"Yeah, THAT wedding. The same one you dumped me at. You don't think that affected me? Ask the few other friends that I have. Ask them about how I reacted. I had no idea then what I did but I guess I do now, huh? Again, according to you, all my fault. What is it exactly you expected me to do, Teddy?"
He held his arms outward and shrugged.
"I was right there beside you fighting those droids and watched you accept a date invite from Danielle! I sat there in our dorm room and watched you accept a blind date offer from Hartley and Wallace for today of all days! I don't want you to go Teddy. Is that what you wanted to hear? Fine. I don't want you to go! I want you to stay here and spend Valentine's Day with me! I want to try to find a way to put back together everything that broke between us. But if you actually expect me to beg..."
Billy shook his head.
"That I won't do. Pathetic as I am according to YOUR friends, even I deserve better than that."

"Rrrragh!" Wally swallowed the (admittedly delicious) crepe stuffed in his mouth. "Everyone shut up! Wally is talking now!"
All eyes turned to Wally in the room.
"Kori...Aspen...I don't love you. Either of you. We went out on ONE date. ONE. And, yeah, I spent a lot of money, we had a lot of fun. But it was just a date. That's all."
"But-but you-"
"But nothing!" Wally finally extricated himself from Kori's grip. "I'm fifteen years old. I've had two girlfriends in my life - EVER. And both of them used me. I laid myself out there, thought I had something with them that they didn't feel, and I got hurt. So I decided to cover up my hurt ego by speed dating a bunch of girls." Dang. That girl's grip was strong. Kori and Aspen just stared at Wally, as if stunned.
"I'm sorry if I gave you the impression that we had something more than just a fun time on a date. I'm sorry that I obviously made you angry enough that the Sith were able to take advantage of that. But this is over."
Aspen lowered her head and Kori's grip on the depowering gun loosened. It fell to the ground with a clatter.
"B-but that...that is not how human relationships work..." Kori muttered. "There is the looking deep into the eyes and the instant falling in love...and then the obsession and the two lovers fighting over one." She looked up. "And then there is marriage and a baby ripped out of the womb and given a stupid name like Renesmee!"
Wally's jaw dropped.
"Wait a second...did you get your impression of how human love works....from Twilight?"
Kori blinked. "It is on the best-sellers list. Is it not a guide into human love behaviors?"
Well, that explained...a lot, actually. Aspen piped up.
"You are totally our Bella, Wally." She wrapped her arms around him. "We could never let you go!"
Oh, man. Things were starting to break down again. Kori also put her arms around Wally. Were these two girls always crazy, or was this something that happened recently?!
"Our Bella! Our Bella! Our Bella!" They chanted in unison.

Linda rolled her eyes... Twilight... Really? Now she really wanted to puke. Linda picked up the gun Kori dropped and then fired one shot at Karen and one at Wally restoring their powers.
" Life's not like Twilight and obsession is not love. Love hurts. It completely sucks... it's like you give your all, you try everything,and in the end it blows up in your face. "
Linda looked down at the gun. Wally hadn't even gone on a date with her... There's no way he could feel the same way Linda felt. Plus now that he had his powers back. Things would go back to the way they were before... with Wally completely ignoring her.
"Whatever...I should give this thing over to Ms. Frost. I don't think any of us should be trusted with this thing.."
Linda walked down the hall way and then paused for a second...She remembered what Kid Flash told about his two exes......
"Funny... when Wally mentioned his two girlfriends..... he reminded me of Kid Flash.."

It was like being yelled at by a petulant child, and it was a turn off. Teddy couldn't even begin to imagine how he had somehow wanted to be with Billy in the first place. All of this me me me? All of these lies about what he had done? It made his stomach twist in disgust.
"I can't believe you have the nerve to turn this around and make it all about you. If you want to know all about you, I guess I can tell you about what you did. YOU pulled me out of the closet before I even knew I was in it. YOU outed me to the entire school, and I don't even know if I wanted to be outed. YOU were never there for me despite this being hard. YOU didn't bother talking to me or trying to listen. YOU never knew how I felt, like an outcast. I've been trying so damn hard to fit in, and I can't.
"I couldn't even fit in with you because you didn't want in. YOU didn't want to know what was going on in my head. YOU didn't care what was in my heart. YOU never asked about my mom, or about my family, or about my life. YOU say you always tagged along, but YOU didn't. I don't know what your social calendar says, but I'm pretty sure 'Teddy' isn't written all over it.
"YOU're delusional if you think you're the one who put out all this effort. You say you were a victim of bullying, but they make fun of your for being a spaz because you flake out all the time on me. It's a criticism I was hoping you'd acknowledge and try to work on, but nope. YOU flaked out on that too. And if you're so concerned about the thank yous and the rewards you feel you deserve for being a hero and doing your freaking job, then you are at the wrong school. Heroes don't expect rewards and praise for being heroes. They do what they have to do because they want to, not to reap the benefits. That's villainy at its finest Kaplan.
"And Dani has a girlfriend, so it was a friend-date. Don't get your pannies in a twist over that.
"You think I want to work this out with you? You show no freaking remorse for anything you did, and you're turning this into the Billy Kaplan show. None of this is about how I feel or felt, or anything. The only thing I'm guilty of is not saying anything to you in the first place. I should have let you know right from the start you were being a self-centered prig because maybe then you could have realized that you took me out of the closet just because you needed a cute accessory.
"Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a date to go to." The entire time Teddy had been speaking, he had felt himself growing larger, heard the shred of clothes ( :{ but it had been such a cute outfit and he had been so proud), and felt his muscles rippling beneath his skin. He was green now, his wings unfolding behind him, shoulders broad and armored. He left Billy behind, soaring out over the campus to his dorm room so he could put on a new outfit; leaving Billy with the shreds and gifts that he didn't want. He could deal with something for a change.

Chris Powell *Chris grabbed his phone and texted Cassie. He told her to meet him at these GPS coordinates at 1PM for her Valentine's surprise. Chris pulled on his jacket and stepped outside. He pulled the camouflage tarp down to cover the front of the cabin and set out to wait.*
Chris always seemed to have a rough time Cassie wondered if she should do something to cheer him up like make him dinner or something. She had a few ideas but she knew whatever Chris was planning for now it was best just to go with it. Cassie took a shower and got changed then headed out the door.

Wally_West So why was Amadeus Cho standing out in the snow, under one of the trees in the main pavilion of Hero High, waiting to see if he could meet up with Linda Lang?
Why couldn't he help himself?! Linda Lang woke up feeling refreshed and happy for the day! Valentines day! She'd done her research, she knew that one would give some one they admired a box of candy or send them flowers. She had plenty of those! After getting dressed and ready, she took one of the heart shaped boxes of chocolate and attached a big red bow on top. In the card was a card that read. "To someone I admire. -From your secret admirer." To wasn't too romantic but it was to the point, besides the person she was thinking about, well who know if she even shares the same feelings for her... Walking outside she spotted him, just standing around, not doing anything. She wondered if he was waiting for someone. "Amadeus?" She asked trying not to sneak up on him. It was difficult as she was coming form behind him. "What are you doing out here? Aren't you cold?" She held his bare hand in hers, as if she were testing the temperature of his body though her own. "You're hands are like ice. I don't care what kind of project you are working on, you coming inside with me." Leading him by the hands she took him back inside, where there was a warm fire in one of the many lounges. She ordered tow hot chocolates and gave him one sitting by him on one of the lounge chairs. "There that's better." She passes the heart shaped box to him with a smile and a nod. She hoped he would like them. The would taste wonderful with the hot chocolate they were having. "These are chocolates. And they are delicious. Have some."

Wally_West "You are totally our Bella, Wally." She wrapped her arms around him. "We could never let you go!" Oh, man. Things were starting to break down again. Kori also put her arms around Wally. Were these two girls always crazy, or was this something that happened recently?!"Our Bella! Our Bella! Our Bella!" They chanted in unison.Achilles had a weirded out look on his face as he watched the embarrassing spectacle unfolding in front of him. Twilight? That was also a movie, was it not? He can recall the rather sad attempt at entertainment on the rec room's television with scores of the female students 9and a handful of the boys as well) plastered in front of it. He himself had watched maybe twenty minutes of the fiasco before he excused himself -- sexy Native American pecs or not. What was that one's name? Or the sexy vampire who really wasn't sexy despite the girls' claims? The one who stalked and manipulated this... Bella? Oh yeah! Achilles pointed past Kori and Aspen toward the window. "Look! It's Jacob and Edward!" Aspen and Kori practically knocked Wally into Achilles's arms dashing toward the windows, their hands and faces pressed comically against the glass. "Where!? Where!?" **yoink** And Wally was halfway outside by now and en route toward the boy's dorm. Achilles leaned down and whispered, "Next time you pick a mate, Wally, choose one or two that are not a whole bucket of crazy."
