After some long chattering with Linda about this boy she was crushing on, she'd hoped she'd gotten through to her roomie. If not Karen would have badger her some more until she got the hint. Soon enough Linda went to bed while Karen kept talking and Linda fell a sleep.
Having no one to talk to and full on food and energy Karen's mind was racing with questions. like like WHO was this mystery man? Someone who is kind, sincere, considerate, sweet, romantic... who didn't look like an ape. And most of all he was here. In This universe... Not some other dimension, or off fighting a war... Someone who wasn't available a few months ago... ???
Karen had a nightmare that night. It was a lovely nightmare of herself... and Powell.
"Ugh! What am I thinking....Powell's got a girl!" She said waking up startled by the dream. "They have a messed up realtionship... kinda stupid... but there when ya need him... if it wan't for that... -- ugh!"
She got out of bed, feeling a urge to brush her teeth still muttering to herself, and shaking her head.
"Shouldn'ta eaten before bed... All this talk of crushes and boys... got my head all spun. Not Powell. Think of puppies! happy little puppies..."
To clear her head, Karen jumped out the window and flew around. Funny she'd forgotten that's how the nightmare started....

Early the next morning Cassie set out towards the town... She went to a cafe and grabbed a quick cup of coffee and a muffin... Breakfast of Champions. She laughed to herself a little... She felt embarrassed that she still didn't have a birthday present for Chris. Looking though the stores nothing caught her eye, the blonde cheerleader sighed, she had to find something. So Cassie took out her cell phone and called up Dani..
" Come on... pick up.. pick up..."

Dani picks up her head, form towel drying to get her phone. It was Cassie. "Oh hey Cassie, You up already? I just got out of the shower. We still on for some fun shopping. Right?" She said as she bent into the mirror to apply a generous coat of lip gloss.

Achilles walked off of the immediate campus grounds, toward the lake just past the stables and close to the woods. The thundering sound of Mysia's feet stomping the ground as she followed at his side caused birds in the far off trees to fly up into the sky and scatter into the wind.
Finding a decent enough spot, Achilles turned and had a seat on a large boulder as he stared out into the waters of the large lake. He knew by tradition in these times he should be focused on getting a gift for Christopher, but his mind remained elsewhere.
Mysia's trunks gathered over his shoulder and he reached up and rubbed them briskly with one hand while he scooped up a small stone in his other and threw it absently into the still waters.

Cassie spoke to Dani on her cell phone
"Totally, I'm already in town at the Cat's Meow. I need help finding a present for Chris. I also want to get a going away present for Achilles...."
Cassie was drinking some coffee. She wanted to get started early because for all she knew finding the perfect gift could take all day. At least she would get to spend some time with her BFF.

*Chris wolfed down breakfast at the cafeteria and headed to the library before his classes. He wanted to go over something before talking to Achilles. He headed towards the science section and started searching for something about time travel.
AH! Time Traveling For Dummies! That would work since he wasn't a brainiac like his roommate. After reading through the book for a while, Emma Frost sent him a message. Not on his phone but in his head.*
Mr. Powell, would you please join Ms. Prince, Mr. Rogers, and me at the headmistresses office. You're being excused from your classes today.
*Chris sent back an affirmative and headed towards the Admin Building. Was he in trouble? He had kept his nose clean so Chris had no idea what this was about. Ms. Prince's secretary/chef/butler/minotaur ushered him right into the office. Chris took a seat.*
Christopher, we called you here to discuss the Raptor amulets. As you know, we locked the one belonging to the Raptor named Talon into a safe here in my office. It's missing.
*Chris kept his face blank.*
Oh...that's bad.
*Prince, Frost, and Rogers exchanged looks.*
You don't seem surprised, Chris.
He isn't. Something you want to tell us, Mr. Powell?
It happened during the Skrull thing.
*Chris went on to explain how the Skrulls ambushed him and tried to use the amulet since they couldn't get his. And how it went wrong....Talon taking over the Skrull Rogers's body and escaping.*
You should have told us!
There was a lot going on! And I was concentrating on baseball-
Oh no, Chris. Don't blame baseball.
But-
They're right, Christopher. The last time Talon was loose, you had an incident.
I blew up the Hostess factory. That's more than incident and I'm conquered those issues, Ms. Prince.
Nonetheless, I want you to stay close to campus for the time being. And set up an appointment with Reed Richards. Maybe he can learn to track your armor so we can find Talon.
But-
That is all, Christopher.
*Grumbling, Chris left the office. Truthfully, he had forgotten about Talon. Cassie was going to be ticked at him for not telling her earlier. Blargle. Time to find Achilles since he didn't have classes.*

In between classes, Wally was working overtime on Chris's surprise birthday party. He sent out a group text to all of Chris's friends. Dani, Teddy, Billy, Cassie (with a note to pass it on to Achilles), Karen, Linda, Lois, Clark, the baseball team (except Ben Poindexter and Bobby Drake, since they got under Chris's skin), and even the teachers that Chris liked best, like Coach Rogers.
6 PM. Be prepared, but stay hidden!
This. Was going to be. SO.
"AWESOMMMMME!"

Teddy had received the text about Chris' surprise birthday party. It came as a bit of a surprise to Teddy as well since he had not gotten him a present. He would have to get on that. And what better shopping companion was there but Wallace?
Unfortunately, Wallace wasn't available. So, he opted for Billy.
He shuffled nervously up to his dorm room, knocking on it softly. "Hey...Billy, you in there? Did you get the text?"

Where was Wallace? Good question. Once again, an evil ex had kidnapped him and strung him up in an elaborate trap to try to win him back from Hartley. Or, as Hartley was beginning to call it, Thursday. If it actually WAS Thursday. He wasn't sure. He should have probably texted Chris Powell, who took fastidious care of keeping track of what day it was at ALL times, but he was distracted.
"SUFFER, RATHAWAY! SUFFERRRRRRR!"
This newest evil ex was slightly more cunning than the last dozen or so. Which, to be honest, wasn't saying much. They were at the Midvale Park playground, and Wallace was chained into the tire swing. Hartley gave Paul McCall a whithering glance from across the monkey bars.
"Suffer? Really? You're, like, six feet away from me, you know."
"FAR out of your reach! You'll NEVER get past me to Wallace! These monkey bars are booby trapped with perilous - HEY! NO FAIR JUST WALKING ACROSS!"
Hartley rolled his eyes and sighed. The only good thing about these innumerable, incredibly lame match-ups were the makeouts with Wallace afterward, who really REALLY enjoyed playing the damsel in distress. Even now he was swinging back and forth crying, out 'oh woe is me.' Seriously. The oldest cliche in the book.
Of course, Wallace totally owned it and Hartley couldn't help loving it.
Ah, Thursday...

"No problem, I just got wallys text. So i better getto going. See you in five." Dani put on her favorite flirty outfit, a corset with jeans. Creating wigs she flew out to meet cassie "Great place, we are sure to find something here." She held her hand like friends do and walked inside.

Teddy tried to think of anything that could appeal to Chris. He thought of all the things that he liked, and it was mostly different kinds of food. He also liked sports.
But then again, that didn't mean that Chris liked those things as much as he did.
"Hm..."
Wait a minute. Chris did love something more than anything else in the world.
"Pannies?"

"It was actually kind of nice for him to put me in this tire swing," Wallace said after Hartley untied his hands, "I haven't been on one of these in like, three days now. It's like I'm reliving my childhood. Push me! But don't do it too hard. I'm fragile."
Wallace pronounced 'fragile' as 'fra-geely', like the father from "A Christmas Story." It sounded more ridiculous that way, which was how he preferred it.
"I have no idea how many more of these guys you're going to have to fight. That last one was pretty recent. I think I he was my first boyfriend as a teenager." Which meant only three or four more years of boyfriends for Hartley to defeat.
"It's a good thing I didn't date a deaf person. Then you couldn't play your music at them."

"You know, I'm deaf. Even before the cybernetic implants, I could feel music. The bass, the rhythm." Hartley gave Wallace a shove on the tire swing, not caring one jot about the six or seven 8-year olds that were now kicking the crap out of Paul McCall for trying to make them leave the playground.
"I don't even really need music for guys like this. Wallace, you know I think you're great, but man, in your early days, you made out with some real-"
Hartley paused to punch a guy wearing a "LOVE ONLY ME, WALLACE!" shirt in the face as he crept up behind them.
"Losers."

Cassie sighed as she looked over at Dani.
"I don't know... I just don't know what to get him. I mean Chris always does such great things for me and I'm clueless as to what to get him"
Cassie looked a little sad...
" Plus.. I wanna get a going away present for Achilles."
She looked at a few things but nothing caught her eye... Maybe something baseball oriented?
