Lily stood in the mirror looking herself over, she was getting dressed up tonight because tonight was the celebration of her 19th birthday even though her birthday was three days past. Xander had made reservations at a nice restaurant and told them to dress nice, sort of business causal, he said. They were going to go ice skating after, so they didn't want there clothes to be to fancy.
Lily was frankly extremely excited, because she hadn't gone ice skating in quite some time and because she got the night to enjoy herself, neither she nor Xander would be powering up and heading out. She wished more of her friends could come, but she didn't want Xander scrambling with reservations all last minute, trying to fix thing it so more people could come.
She headed out of her room and down the hall to knock on Alex's door to see if he was ready. "Alex, you ready. Xander is downstairs, we've got to go in ten minutes. I'm going to go down. Can you make sure Johnny is ready? Oh and don't forget we're going ice skating after so not to fancy okay."
Lily scurried off down the hall, down the steps and into the living room where Xander sat on the couch. "The boys will be down in just a minute and then we can go."
Xander gave a laugh and nodded. He stood and gave his baby sister a hug before handing her a box wrapped in pretty green paper. "Happy Birthday, Songbird. I have to say though I'm so glad it's 19 and not 21. I think I may have a heart attack on that day."
She laughed and gave her brother a shove, "you sound like dad, you silly thing." She shook her head and looked to the gift. "Thanks Xander, I'll open it a dinner."

Nineteen, Lily was nineteen already and he'd be eighteen soon enough. It seemed time had flown by, or he'd just been too busy to notice it passing. He would bet money on it being that he'd been too busy to notice the passage of time. Standing in his closet, the door mostly shut, he was turning this way and that while looking himself over in the mirror. Turning so his back was to the mirror he looked over his shoulder into the mirror. He looked good but was it too casual? He knew they'd be ice skating later, something he'd never done before, and he was sure if could always wiggle out of actually skating. But it would take away from Lily's celebration and he didn't want to do that. Sighing he turned around and took another glance over himself before exiting his closet.
A nice long sleeved turtle neck of soft gray cashmere was fitted to his upper half while his legs were covered in nice dark wash jeans. While he went to grab socks he heard Lily knock and shout out to him. Of course he remembered, though he really didn't think a suit was too fancy, and he had dressed in an appropriate manner. "Of course Lily! I'll check on him in a minute then I'll be down. And she could see for herself that he hadn't over done it, though he thought he had underdone it really.
Yanking on his socks he headed off from his room and down the hall to Johnathan's room. Knocking he stood waiting for a response, though he only did wait a few moments, before speaking up. "Do you need help Johnathan?" He still couldn't believe Xander didn't mind his baby sister living with two males, though Xander knew his sister was more than safe from Alexandre making advances on her, did he know Johnathan enough to know she was safe from him? That Johnathan was as innocent as a child? Lily might have told him, as Xander might have been concerned with his sister living with yet another male, and one he didn't know.

If Xander was concerned about Johnathan ever being inappropriate with his little sister, he would be in for an awakening of some kind. Johnny could hear Alex just fine but was, unfortunately, stuck halfway in the fancy sure the blonde was letting him borrow. Johnny's wardrobe was sadly lacking in anything even remotely fancy. Even asking the boy to wear something without ninjas one it was asking too much. A puff of snow blue hair was sticking out of the restrictive neckline of the cream colored sweater while one arm was halfway in the wrong arm hole. The other arm was nowhere to be seen. "PBBDNMMMM!" came a reply as Johnny smashed himself into the door and nearly ran over Alex. The poor boy couldn't see a thing through the thick fabric and flailed around.

Xander laughed, "well somebody has give you birthday cheers from them. Do you talk to them yet?"
Lily shook her head at her brother once more happy to see him for once being just a little silly, then nodded, "Yes I talked to them a little earlier in the afternoon. It was dark there. They wished me a happy birthday and Rose helped Eamon have a little face time with me. She told me my gift was on youtube and to check her page later. Then they promised to call again by Alex's birthday at the lastest, to wish him a happy birthday and all of us a happy valentines day."
Xander nodded than jumped hearing a bang come from upstairs, both he and Lily gave each other looks and headed up the stairs. What they saw made Lily and Xander both snicker. Neither had seen someone having trouble with a sweater in real life beyond the age of like 6.
"How did he get like that Alex," Lily asked the blonde.
Xander looked to Lily, "I'm guessing this is why you called him your new little brother." He smirked standing in the doorway with Lily. Xander was beginning to wonder how Lily came across such friends. In his opinions all of her friend were very unique.

He had told Lily, when Johnathan had first been taken in, that he was a harmless innocent who was in need of someone. He hadn't been lying in any way, shape, or form. Johnathan clearly needed people to help him, as demonstrated by the sight that had come at him in the hallway. Jumping out of the way he nearly landed on his a**, thrown off balance in his haste to get out of Johnathan's way.
Moving behind the other he reached out to still him. "Easy, I'll help Johnathan." And he did try, though he was sure it looked rahter inappropriate as his hands moved under the sweater in order to remove the arm from where it had been trying to go and redirect it - to where it was supposed to go. Than the hunt for the missing arm. This really was an adventure living with Johnathan. Had this been two years ago this never would have been. He'd still clung to Lily and shunned advances by anyone else wanting to be his friend. Joining the Negaverse, joining this war, had opened him up to having to deal with others and learn his place and make friends. For all the stress it caused him it had done him some good.
Peeking out around Johnathan's side, as he was a few inches shorter than the pale blue haired teen, Alexandre sighed and looked from Lily to Xander. " can't claim to have a clue as to how this occurred. I was in my room dressing - though I suppose we could say that's how this happened." He said with a smile playing about his lips.
"Good to see you Xander, how are you?" Ever since Xander had spent time living here, with him and Johnathan, he had gotten close to the elder of the two red heads. He was more like an older brother than ever before and so the smile was even warmer, as was the greeting.
