His car was gone.
His car. Was gone.
No one in the building had seen anything. He'd just woke up this morning and his car was gone. Nothing. Nada. gone.
The only person who had spare keys was his dad - Damian had no damn idea where it was, but reported the theft, since the car was still in his name.
He was still mentally going over this as he walked with Bell toward their favorite restaurant, and it all came down to the same conclusion.
"...Who the hell would be desperate enough to steal my damn car ?"
No, really.

"I don't know," Thank goodness Bell was a good actress. Pulling off the totally oblivious girlfriend was a cinch.
It had been a fairly simple plan. When bell was thinking of things to do for Xavier on his birthday, she remembered the car crapping out on prom night, and the slight trouble that had caused, and being a girl with the proper resources, it seemed like the best thing to do. Collaborating with his father and the mechanic things had gone flawlessly.
And it was all Bell could do not to grin and giggle the whole while.
"Jokes on them though!"
Haha...hahahaha!

"Yeah, I guess. It's probably gonna crap out before they're halfway toward wherever they're going." It would be ironic.
"But still." He pouted, holding the door open for Bell to go inside first. "It was my crappy car..."
Xavier was completely oblivious, just as everyone wanted. As if he could be able to call on the bluff of a theater girl, really !
At least exams were over. No running like a dumbass to get to school. Just work, and it was easily walkable, anyway...

"At least it isn't winter?" Bell offered, stepping in to the restaurant and choosing a seat. "And there's always your bike."
The offering of 'the bright side' was nothing out of the norm, and had been something she had considered when formulating her plan. Rain would be another issue but, well, he wouldn't be without a car for long. Maybe during the few short days it wouldn't rain? She was keeping her fingers crossed.

"True..." That seemed to pacify him - that or the thought of the soon to come food did. He sat facing her, looking just as lovey-dovey as the first time they had sat much like this. Time was doing little to lower his complete love and dedication to the lovely woman that was sitting in front of him.
"Im just glad exams are over. My english one nearly killed me." What kind of modern uses was there to know Shakespeare's Hamlet inside out ?
Well, unless you where making a theater piece of it, but he wasn't. He couldn't act worth a damn. That was better left to his better half, really.

Indeed - nothing dimmed the love and admiration in her eyes and determination to do anything to keep him happy and content.
"Well, I offered by assistance, but that study guide was just so..." A look of 'ugh' completed the statement. English teachers really shouldn't be using drama in their lesson plans. That was what the theatre arts teacher was for...even if it was an elective in high school.
That opinion was bound to put her at odds with English teachers everywhere.

"I ended up getting some help from a girl in my class, so I got a decent grade at least." That had been damn good coffee, too. And Griffin had been pretty nice overall.
He was scanning over the menu now, pondering his order when there was a loud crash in the kitchen.
Followed by a loud snarl that was nothing human.
"...You have got to be kidding me." He rubbed at the bridge of his nose, as if he had a headache. What else could go wrong today, really ?

The crash made Bell jump, but the growls that followed made her all but facepalm - heaving a bit of a sigh, and shaking her head.
"Wrong place at the right time?" there was a bit of a wry grin there.
"I guess we'll have to work for our meal."

"Looks like it." He muttered, then leaned forward to land a soft kiss on her cheek. "Well, see you in a second ?"
Literally. And that was when Xavier headed, perhaps too calmly, to the bathroom, where most civilians were already running away.
Good, really. He hated fighting youma near civilians. Propriety damage was one thing, but accidentally hitting someone else ?
Yeah. Unfun.
"Where the ******** it is ?" Was the first thing Themis said upon exiting his secret henshin place. Yes, he was rather unhappy with this situation.

Bell smiled and nodded, "Yep."
She, too, found a place to henshin, and re-emerged as Bellatrix. Okay, it was time to get down to business and defeat the youma. Okay, so this wasn't really a music moment....
"The clamor came from the kitchen area I believe." That would account for the clamor anyway. And the fact that they hadn't seen it yet. She just hoped this didn't mean they'd be seeking a new place for dinner.

Indeed, where the hell was that thing ? He couldn't have hallucinated the sound - she'd heard it too, right ?
And that was when a flurry of needles came flying out of the kitchen area. "Watch out !" He screamed.
And then the creature followed suit. It was... a giant hedgehog.
Really.
Giant. evil. ******** need to stop destroying my childhood." Themis muttered.
Bellatrix probably wouldn't get the joke.

Indeed, Bell simply assumed he had a pet hedgehog as a child. Ducking behind the counter as the needles came flying, Bell prepaired for the thing to come seeking them. Because what youma could resist the chance to get two senshi starseeds? At the very least maybe it would spare the kitchen workers, if they hadn't gotten hurt already.
"Let's waif for it to come out here. I really don't want to fight in the kitchen and end up setting the place on fire..."

"True that..." He couldn't see inside very well - he could only hope that the kitchen workers were safe and just hiding.
And out came their hedgehog quickly enough - after all, two senshi starseeds ? Two super senshi starseeds ? Completely irresistible for something that didn't have to mind to avoid it. Or so Themis thought.
There was a question, through - how do you punch something that is covered in spines ?
Answer - you didn't. You threw a chair at it instead.

No, no problem with property damage at all. Bellatrix could at least keep the youma still while Themis beat the crap out of it.
"Amazon Chakram!"
The golden disc of energy zoomed towards the creature, and with a cry, it was paralyzed.
Grabbing a make-shift weapon of her own, Bellatrix joined in on the beating while the attack was in effect. A shame there was nothing pointy...

The youma did not like this - through it was rather helpless to do anything about it at the moment.
If anyone had ever told Xavier he would one day spend his time clobbering extremely over sized hedgehogs with chairs, he would have called them crazy.
They didn't get to dust it before her charkam wore of - and now the very angry hedgehog shot more spines. Themis didn't get to dodge them all - most were halted by the many layers of his fuku, but one got through the bodice.
He ripped it off, but the effect was immediate. His vision blurred, and he nearly stumbled. "Careful, there's something in these things !"
Hopefully not too late.
