We woke up early the next morning, for Criss had to get his Mindfreak back on. So he kissed me and asked me if I would come down and meet him in the Mindfreak store at 11:30 to join him for lunch, I told him of course, that I'd be honored to join the Mindfreak for lunch. he smiled at me and blew a kiss to me before running down the stairs to begin his magic.

Criss blew everyone away with his new evolved magic, that he picked up on while we were stuck on the island, one of the loyals handed him their child to give a kiss too, Criss gave the little girl a kiss, then held her tight and he levitated with her in his arms she cooed and giggled the whole way up and down when he handed her back to her mom, she cried, cuz she wanted to fly again with Criss. Criss pulled out a small piccolo from his pocket and began playing it, all the kids from the Luxor's playpen gathered around to watch him goof off, then they followed him all the way to The Luxor's Candy Store. Criss turned around and stopped playing, and seen all the kids and said Wow, He must be the new pied piper, he turned around and was being followed by dozens of boys and girls, he asked them to look where they ended up showing the camera's the candy store, he did a few magic tricks for the kids while asking them to never start smoking, he then did a magic trick where he made a cigarette disappear, then he told the kids to go with him into the candy store, and he bought all the kids some candy.

Costa came out and told Criss, that his crew was ready to do the Mindfreak Live Show, down in the auditorium. He just sighed and said ok, they both walked to the backstage doors. The show was a huge success, he performed all of his masterpieces, from his entire career along with new pieces that involved live theater, along with a very incredible laser light show!! As soon as the show was over he checked the time on his watch, and was really irritated by the fact that he was half an hour late for our lunch date. He quickly cleaned up and changed and ran to his store, to find it closed, with me nowhere to be seen, so he ran up to our room. He came in and seen me all dressed up, but with my shoes off, laying on the bed, and that my eyes were red from crying.

He rushed over to me and pulled me in his lap, and asked me what was wrong, n that he was really sorry for being late for our lunch date. I told him in between sobs that wasn't the problem. he asked me what the problem was, I slowly said his mom, she called for him, and I answered telling her very nicely that you were downstairs working...and she said to me, that I didn't belong here at all, and if I really loved him I would leave and never come back. I didn't know how to respond so I told her I would be out of her life as soon as I could get my girlfriend to come and get me. Then I hung up and just laid here for a while. Criss, your mom hates me, and I am tearing you two apart. I knew we weren't going to last, maybe it's for the best that I leave.

Criss looked at me, and said if I tried to leave him, he'd just track me down and bring me right back because he wasn't going to let anyone push me away from him, not even his mommy. She would just have to get used to the idea that I was apart of his life now & learn to like me, which really wouldn't be that hard to do, she just needed to get to know me. I told him I didn't think so, but I'd be willing to give it a try. Criss smiled at me, and kissed my lips and said thanks. then he put my shoes on for me, and we went downstairs to have lunch together. After lunch I went to the restroom, when I got out he was on the phone with his mom, by the look he had on his face it was telling me, he wasn't happy. He abruptly ended the call after telling her that she didn't even know me, and the least she could do was try!!, then he hung up with her and was so pissed off he threw the phone up against the wall, and it shattered into a million pieces. I went up to him and looked at him, then at what used to be his phone he realized what he did n said, Shit! then he looked at me, and said Honey, we need to make a side trip to the Verizon Store. I smiled at him, and said; Ya Think!?

We got him a new phone, but instead of going back to the suite, he took me to Circus Circus, and played on the rides, and shared popcorn and a coke, then he won me a prize by hitting the sledge-o-magic meter through the roof. Criss picked out the stuffed bunny, when he handed it to me, he said here's a fuzzy rabbit for his Snuggle Bunny. I took the stuffed rabbit in my arms and gave him a hug and kiss, he wrapped his arms around me, walked with me down the sidewalk to check out all the sales. Criss bought me a cute necklace with a rabbit coming out of a Magician's hat, and put it on for me. I told him I didn't need all that, but he said now that we were back in civilization, he was going to spoil me rotten. I knew what he was really doing though, he was taking my mind off of his mom and trying to forget it himself.

It was around midnight when we made it back to The Luxor, I was so sleepy he carried me up to the room and took my clothes off for me, and put me in one of his old shirts for me to sleep in, then he fed Hammie, and Khan before taking his clothes off, getting into his night shorts, n slid in next to me, snuggled up to me, kissed my neck and said he loved me always and forever. I turned to him, as I told him I loved him infinitely.
