Legacy of a Star Child

Chapter 27: Party Planning!

"Hello? Who is this? I do not have you in my contacts, how did you happen to get this number?"

"You gave it to me of course, almost 8 years ago in fact. How are you old friend?"

"Lumaria... How are you? I heard you've been stirring up quite the bit of trouble with the Turks. They came around asking for you."

"Ah, did they now? Well I assure you, I have been mostly behaved. Say now, do you happen to remember the Yellow Dragonfly? She was a venue performer..."

"Of course I do. She was a lovely woman, did regular shows here at the Honey Bee only because I asked her to. That woman was destined for something greater than whatever the hell she was caught up with working with my brother... Why do you ask?"

"How would you like a show? One for old times sake?"

"Lu... For me? You shouldn't have. I'd love for you to come. Will miss Dragonfly be coming with you?"

"She may, I believe you should invite her little friends, you have there number yes? Lets give them a show they will never forget."

"Anything special you request? You always have such devious ideas."

"Masquerade theme. Brings more to the fun of a night of strangers. I expect no less than perfect accommodations from you, Andrea."

"It will be done, as long as I get to see that ass of yours moving across my stage again, I expect you tonight."

"I'll be there."

But you can't leave yet, I haven't gotten to show you any of Edge city!

Rufus... I need to go home, Vexen will worry about me.

-Rufus rubbed at his temples in frustration. He had had a lovely time the night before with his old friend, and like an excited child on summer vacation he just was not quite ready to let him depart yet. He needed to find them something to do quickly in order to prevent him from leaving.-

Please? Just one more night.

Its never just one more night with you, you know that.

Please Ienzo...

Zexion. And no Rufus, I need to be home. Vexen needs help with research and--

-Zexion jumped a little as a voice came from his pocket.-

Excuse me, I can speak for myself, and I say you go out for a few days and enjoy yourself. I am busy and could use some alone time.

...Did you hack my utility PDA!?

Even! Its been far too long, how are you?

-Zexion made a face and pulled out his PDA, swiping on the screen to try and see what Vexen had gotten into, ahh, the communicator function, he had connect to it through wireless via internet access.-

Not cool.

I disagree, I am very cool Zexion. Now then, hello Rufus, it is nice to hear from you as well. Did you both have a nice evening?

I did, must you all really hide away where ever it is you are? Ienzo refuses to tell me anything about it.

I told you, its against the rules Rufus... Its not that I wouldn't tell you.

He is right unfortunately Rufus, but, I will try to make sure that Zexion comes to see you as much as he can when we are not elbows deep into our work. So, as I was saying, no you are not coming home yet. Stay out a while longer, it will do you some good. At your age you should be out socializing and spending time with others, when you are my age then ill allow you to be an introverted little hermit.
